By the President of the

“A proclamation.

this custOm has always survived. It

SHIPS CLIMB
SWEDISH ‘HILLS’
THROUGH LOCKS
Marine Locks Lift the
Boats to Altitude of
300 Feet—Trip from
Stockholm to Goth-
ehberg Takes Two
and Half Days
TROLLHATAN FALLS. Sweden.
Nov. 7.———Climhing mountains in a
ship was the unusual experience of
many American visitors to the Go-
thenburg exposition when they made
the trip ovyer the historic Goeta
Canal from Gothenburg to Stock-
holm. '
Marine locks in flights of five or
six carry tourist ships through gran-
its hills from river to lake. until
the canal reaches an altitude of
more than 300 feet in the highlands
of picturesQuc southern Sweden. and
then the ships begin their trip down
stairs until they make their way
to the level of the Baltic Sea. and.
after a short voyage on the open
sea, finally enter lakes again and
slip back into the back door of
Stockholm Through fresh water.
It takes two and a half days to
make the inland Journey of 360
miles from Gothenburg to Stock-
holm. The actual canal is only
54 miles long. but 58 locks are
passed in avoiding the falls in rivers
and ascending to the high lakes in
the interior.
Fifty miles of this trip is through
the Goeta river. and here at Troll-
hatan Falls the canal passes around
the celebrated falls which give
southern Sweden much of its elec-
trical power and are the seat of
some of its greatest industrial con-
cerns. Here is the great plant which
supplied the Bolshevist government
with 500 loeomotlves. and recently
sent 125 locomotives to Argentina.
In the early days of the Bolshe-
vist government. when Lomonsoff
was in charge of the effort to re-
equip the Russian railways. Sweden
was given a contract for 1.000 lo-
comotives. This plum was dangled
before the eyes of other industrial
nations by Bolshevist leaders, who
jeered at them for their failure to
recognise Russia and share in the
great profits promised from parti-
cipation in its rehabilitation. The
Swedes insisted on having gold in
advance on the locomotive order.
Five hundred were finally complet-
ed and delivered. Then the work
stopped although the Swedish manu-
facturers still had Russian money
which had been advanced for ma-
terials. The Swedes altered the
plans for the locomotives to meet
the needs of the Argentine railways.
and are today carrying on a.iiveiy
business with the South American
republic which has enabled the
manufacturers to return to Russia
its advances oil cancelled orders.
The Goeta Canal was originally
begun in 1800. when the Trollhatan
Falls were succe-fully locked. The
complete waterway between Goth-
enburg and Stockholm was first
opened in 1883.

WATERBURY. Nov. 7.- There
will be mfeneral “cleaning ur" of
practitioners of medicine in Connec-
ticut. to be undertaken at once by
State Commissioner of Health Stan-
ley H. Osborne. State's Attorney
Hugh M. Alcorn. and such other as.
sistance as may be needed. Governor
Charles A. Templeton declared at
his home here last night. The Gov-
ernor’s statement followed a lengthy
conference with Dr. Osborne and
State's Attorney Alcorn at the capi-
tol this atternoon.'at which time it
was disclosed that Dr. James E.
Hair. of Bridgeport. secretary of the
Connecticut State Eclectic Examin-
ing board. and Dr. Robert L. \Vhite
of New Canaan. hold diplomas from
the Kansas Ciw college of medicine
surgery. which is at present under
examination for alleged irregular
practices.
Governor Templeton indicated
that the investigation into the status
of Connecticut medical men would
extend not only to he eclectic doc-
tors. but also to those of other
branches of the profession.
“This situation concerning the
eclectic physicianfis only an inkling
for the people of Connecticut. of a
lot of things which have been going
on. of which they as yet know little.‘
Governor Templeton said. "We shall
investigate the matter to the bottom.
and you may expect a gcn'ral tie-an-
ing up. Connecticut is no larger to
be the dumping ground for unwor-
thy medical practitioners. and we
already have the authority to ‘clcan

ENGAGED IN "
’SUPPRESSING '
SLAVE TRAFFIC
Two British Warships
on this Duty in Red
’ Sea—sailor Tells In-
teresting Story
LONDON. Nov. 7.—Although the
slave trade is commonly supposed
to have been suppressed all over the
world. two British warships. the
Celmatis and the Cornflower. have
been engaged in suppressing this
traffic in the Red Sea for the last.
two years. Not only have they suc-
ceeded in stopping most of the Red
Sea slave trade. but they have also
stopped gun-running which was oc-
casionally attempted.
Iiigh prices are paid for slaves in
this part of the world. who are gen-
erully captured from the coastal
tribes and sold to the Arabs. who
take their victims inland.
A communication from a member
of the crew of the Clematis tells an
interesting story. -
"We had spent a period of two
years in the Red Sea." he says. ”wit-
nessing very varied scenes of tropi«
cal life. and experiencing the almost
intolerable heat of two summers.
The duties of the two Red Sea sleeps
are primarily to frustrate the dia-
bolical bartering of humans ‘ilch
unfortunately still continues to a
much larger extent than one is led
to believe.
“On one occasion a dhow Wes dc-
tained which had been thus trading.
but it is to be regretted that the oc-
cupants successfully evaded capture.
and carried away with th‘ the
gold they had received for their
slaves. .
"It was. however. an exciting inel-
dent. for when we first tried to board
they opened fire on our Whalers
This necessitated the latter returning
to the ship. and we eventually fired
about eight rounds at the escaping
crew.
“On another occasion a dhow was
captured full of slaves. boys end
girls between the ages of seven and
17.
"It was heertrending to stand by
and dc the hungry mites ravenously
attack the bread we gave them. The
dhow's crew endeavored to escape
by jumping pverb‘oard and swimming
ashore. bu were successfully cap-
tured. and hopes are entertained
that they got their full deserts."

, STAMFORD, Nov. 7.—
' Milton J .-Maas, millionaire New York chemical manufacturer,
wounded under didtinetly peculiar circumstancs on‘ the night of
Oct. 11 at the home of Mrs. Ida M.
leave the Stamford Hospital to-day.
Prior to his leaving the institution.
however. he is to be questioned. it
was learned last night. by Prosecutor
James F. ‘Walsh. of Greenwich. This
move on the part of the Prosecutor's
was generally interpreted last night
as an eleventh hour attempt to dis-
pell the air of mystery. surrounding
the shooting incident and furnish a
motive for the shooting.
Up until yesterday afternoon. it
was learned. the Greenwich authori-
ties had givcn up the case and it
appeared as though it were sunk in
the mire of unsolved mysteries in
this district.
Mans has been at the institution
since the night he was shot. and
Mrs. Leslie attacked by three gun-
men at Mrs. Leslie's home on Ledge
Road, Sound Beach. where Maas was
a freduent caller. The gunmen es-
caped and..no trace of them has ever
been found.
The case attracted much attention
in the "metropolis where Maas was
wel nown both in business and so-
cially. A tinge of mystery was ,ad-
ded to the case .irough the conflict-
ing stories told by Maas. Mrs. Leslie
and Mrs. Leslie's maid. Kathleen Fox.
Both Mrs. Leslie and Miss Fox were
put through a severe grilling by
Prosecuting Attorney James Walsh.
of Greenwich. but neither.the mo-
tive or the perpetrators of the crime
were ever disclosed.
Mrs. Leslie and Gustav Fleisch-
man. Maas' nephew. both accused the
Greenwich police of trying to make
a mystery out of a plain case of at-
tempted robbery in order to cover
up inadequate police protection. The
Greenwich authorities refused to ac-
cept the theory of robbery being the
motive for the crime and openly said
that they thought that a jealous suit-
or for Mrs. Leslie's hand had hired
the gunman to put Mass out of the
way. i.
A few days after the shooting the
police seized a packet of love. letters
said to be written to Mrs. Leslie by
a prominent New York millionafirs
andtalthough it was never actually
asserted. it was generally believed
that the man who wrote the letters
might have been the same person
who hired the gunman. It was an-
nounced that this man was to be
questioned by the prosecutor. W'hen
the day came for the quizzing the
man had disappeared from h New
York address and could not be ocat-
ed. No further mention Was made
of the unknown man. and Prosecu-
lor “'alsh announced that th‘e inves-
tigation had been dropped.
Former N orwalker
Doing Well in Maine
The many Norwalk friends of
Herbert G. Jones. who left this city
last April to go to Portland. Maine.
will be glad to hear that he has
been very successful in the ad vertis-
ing busines in Portland. Mr. Jones
came to Norwaik from New York
about three years previous to last
April. and bought Charles Smith's
house at 33 Bayview Avenue. At
that time he was employed on the
advertising staff of the New York
Tribune. He was a close friend of
Brute. the cartoonist. who visited
him here frequently.
The following is taken from the
Portland Telegram and Examiner:
“One of Portland‘s new residents
who is making rapid progress in the
local business world is Herbert G.
Jones. although he has been in Port-
land a great deal for he last twelve
years, came to this city to live in
May. He was engaged in newspaper
work in connection with the adver-
tising end.
"Mr. Jones has recently been ap-
pointed as'salee manager of T. A.
Huston and Co.. with headquarters
in this city. He will take up his new
duties at once and is exceptionally
well qualified to handle them.
"A graduate of the Univei-iaiy .ot
Pennsylvania. Mr. Jones has follow-
ed tho newspaper game. and the ad-
vertising and selling game for the
past twelve years. He was for six
years connected with the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger. engaged in edi-
torial work. and later went to New
York City where he was employed
by the New York Tribune on their
advertising staff for about four
years. '
“While in New York he was also
connected with a prominent nation.
at advertising agency specialiging in
merchandising and advertising of
pure food products. '
"Mr. Jones leaves the advertising
staff of the Evening Express and
Sunday Telegram where he was
handling some of the best ace aunts.
He has made many friends, both
among his co-Workers and among
the business men of Portland with
whom he has come in contact. One
of his final achievements was the
special .Ad Club number of the Ex.
press which appeared during the re-
cent Ad Club convention.
"Mr. Jones has been a'nonoresi-
dent of the Portland Club‘ for a
number of years, He is also a mem-
ber of the Portland Cheer Club.
During his many business visits to
Portland he became acquainted with
'many'Poi-tland people and was well
known socially. In 1915 he married
Miss Margarett Kelsey. a prominent
Portland girl. the daughter of Fred
B. elsey of Deering street.

truancy. To the home of the irregu-
lar pupil the officer should go as a
friend especially in the interest of
the child. and shouldimpress the
home with the need of their co-op-
oration and iinaliy_ if need be. with
its necessity. The officer sh'ould
rec"..- that it is his. duty to inform
parents and guardians of the mean-
ing of the law. to manifest a spirit
a: co-operation with them in obey-
ing it. but he should not fail to real-
ize and impress the fact upon the
parents that the responsibility for
the regular attendance of their chil-
dren rests with the parents them-
selves. It is the duty of the attend-
anCe offimr to keep in closest touch
win the schools so he may know
where and when to act. Then he
should‘ kindly but firmly see that the
parents of irregular pupils keep
them in school or pay the penalty.
“I feel that we were all greatly
encouraged and benefited by what
we learned at the convention and I
am sure that we will be more' effi-
cient as a result.
"The forthcoming annual report
will be out very soon. It will con-
tain. aside from the usual statistical
portion. such reports and suggestions
as our supervisors have seen fit to
make. I believe a careful compari-
son of these papers with others of
previous years will impress you with
the idea that our system is making
real progress and reaching out for
higher practical results in education-
,ai development.
"Our new department of printing
is, now in operation. The press and
it proper accompaniments earth
promptly and were installed at. the
Over River school by boys of the
Manual Training Department under
the supervision of Mr. Ameer. They
have given its samples of, very neat
work and are ready to accommodate
the schools with any job of printing
within the compass of this press. In
his item for the annual report. Mr.
Ameer sets forth very clear and logi-
cal reasons why the art of printing
has a distant ehcational value for
young people.
"While our attention is on the
Manual Training department. let me
suggest that the classes in wood and
metal work are becoming so large
that it is now very dimcult for the
two teachers to properly direct all
the work. Probably it will be nec-
essary to add another instructor to
this department next year.
"Since the modification of the
compulsory statute two years ago re-
moving the requirement that con-
tinuation pupils attend evening
school. that institution throughout
Connecticut is gradually becoming a
sebaci for the adult foreign born. In
our two evening schools we now have
five classes for the latter and only
three for continuation work. All
these classes, like practically all of
our day school classes. are moving
forward in a manner to make us
wish that more of our citizens might
see the work."

Rowland, Auto
Breaks Steering
G e a r' in Avoiding
' Mrs. Murray
Another automobile. the property
of Miss Elizabeth V. Cockcroft of
Saugatuck. figured in the accident
yesterday morning on Thomas Hill.
Wilson road. when an automobile
operated by Clinton B. Rowland.
Rowayton avenue, Rowayton. was
overturned as it swerved. to avoid
a collision with a third automobile.
The police report of the accident
yesterday shOWed but two cars in
the accident. Investigation today
has resulted in knowledge that the
Cockcroft car played a similar part
as did the Rowland car with the ex-
caption that it did not turn over.
Both automobiles were proceeding
up Thomas Hill when a sedan driven
by Mrs. Joseph B..Murray. daughter
of James, A. Farrell. president of
the U. S. Steel Corporation, drove
out from the driveway of the Miss
Thomas' school. Mr. Rowland had
the choice of colliding with the Mur-
ray car cr‘risking his life in turn-
ing out. He chose the latter. His
machine swerved sharply. climbed a
bank. crashed into a telegraph pole
and overturned. The machine. was
badly damaged but he escaped in-
jury. '
The Crockcroft car. just behind.
was forced to make the same ma-
nouvef._ The car climbed the bank
but' escaped overturning. The steer-
ing apparatus of the machine, a
heavy touring car, was badly da-
maged. The Crockcroft car was
driven by a chauffeur and contained
Miss Elizabeth V. Croekcroft as a
passenger. Both ears are in Vaast's
garage.
Many persons have commented
favorably upon the action taken by
Mr. Rowland in risking his car and
life rather than crashing with the
machine operated by Mrs. Murray.

interested in presenting afternoon or
evening recitals. Special honors will
be given clubs completing two years
of the course at the Portland. Ore-
gon. biennial in 1935. and~greater
recognition paid to those finishing
the entire four years' course at the

tion's work is to be placed upon the
plan to give the American musical

solved to engage at least nfty_per
cent American artists in the future.

was opened in the decision to insti-
tute a department of music in indus-
try. with We Ruth Antoinette Sa-
bel. head of the Bureau of Industrial
Music. in charge.

servatory of Music. have been issued.

also that the federation's committee
on degislation continue to seek the
active cc-operation of all other na-
tional associations toward this end.
Steps already have been taken to
have a simplified bill introduced in
congress to provide for the appoint-
ment of a commission of 21 persons
representing all classes and phases
of music in order that when the Con.
servatory is organised it will bi
