BRIDGEPORT. Nov. 20.——Sale of
the entire east wing of the former
Yost Typewriter company plant on
Railroad avenue. now owned by the
Columbia Graphophone company, is
practically complete, it was learned
yesterday from Robert F. Crudging-
toril general works manager of 111°
' The Remington
Typewriter company is the buyer at
a price to be about 8200.000. '
The only obstacle to the sale now
is the approyal of the court. affairs
of the Columbia company now being
in receivership.
About 55,000 square feet of floor
space is involvel in the deal. The
Remington company now losses the
property and has its typewriter sup-
plies manufactory located in the
plant. Expanding business in this
line has necessitated the purchase.
The Remington Yost company. which
was located in the building for many
years and gave employment to hun-
dreds of Bridgeporters. was removed
to Flushing. L. 1.. but has stopped
manufacturing machines in that city.
A stockholders' faction which gained
control during the war caused the
removal. Since then the old regime
has regained control in the company
and reaffirmed their faith in Bridge-
port by establishing the supply de-
partment here in the old Yost plant.
The firm will continue to get its
power from the Columbia. company
inasmuch as the former Yost power
house is not in the deal.

FAIRFIELD. Nov. 20.--A man
who gave his name as William Mit-
chell last Friday rented the cottage
on Grace street that was destroyed
by fire yesterday. The cause of the
fire was evidently the result of the
explosion of a giant still. as a. large
copper container with the top blown
out was found and two large bar-
rels of mesh were overturned in the
yard near the shed. while galvanized
nails and copper cells were also
found lying about.
Previous occupants of the house.
vacated it on Thursday and Attorney
Abe Geduidlg of Bridgeport. who
represents the owner. rented it on
Friday. Neighbors thought the house
was still vacant as they did not see
any furniture moved into it.
Damage of $3.000 resulted from
the fire which consumed a shed in
the rear of the house as well as the
roof and back of the house.
Neighbors are of the opinion that
three men. had access to the place
but their identity is not known. The
house was empty save for the still

which was destroyed.

Herbert Knox Smith
Speaks at Union Ser-
vices—Talks of
Right and Might
REDDING, Nov. 20.-—"1f we have
another World war, the western civ»
llization will disappear. in will be a
war of the air, a war of gases which
will be so deadly that a small
amount will wipe out entire cities;
the slaughter: will be wholesale.
and bubonic disease that can scarce-
ly be controlled in times of peace.
will scourge the countries." This
was the warning sounded by Her-
bert Knox Smith. of hartford. in his
address at the union service held un-
der the auspices of the women's
Civic club in Christ Church. Sunday
evening.
Mr. Smith began by giving a brief
but compact outline of the world’s
court. stating its purposes. methods
0‘ Operation. and the manner in
chosen. He
then spoke in disapproval of state-
ments that by beaming a member
the United States would be forced to
bear heavy eipenses financially or
would become entangled in any- way
with the League of Nations.
He made it clear. however. that
the United States would have the
same right as any other nation in
voting on matters brought before
the league. and that any matters
concerning this country could be
brought before the Court only with
its consent. thus giving the power to
protect ourselves in any dispute with
other nations or states. as they are
called in the Court.
“It is not necessary for the United
States to become a member of the
Court. to assure its existence. how.
ever." he added. “but it would sig-
nify that we favor right instead of
might and prefer settlements by law
rather than settlements by war.
"The meeting of representatives
of the diifcrent nations would itself
be a step toward international peace-
This could not be brought about at
once. but would be the result of a
gradual process. The World's Court
would not stop all wars, as it has
been natural for man to fight from
the earliest times. but it would!
greatly diminish wars.”
Mr. Smith stated that several ob-
jections have been made on the
grounds that if the United States did
enter the Court and it proved suc-
cessful we would want to go further.
"But if it is taking us along the
paths toward peace. then for hea—
ven's sake. let them go further." he
added. "What would Europe think
if after a week's consideration. the ‘
United States Senate should vote
‘No’ to a law that would advance
laws diminishing wars?"
As a means of urging-the United
Stem to become a. member of the
Court. Mr. Smith advised writing
personal letters tofienators Brande-
geeand Menusshestatedthata
personal letter was much more in-
fluential than a petition with several
hundred names. In closing..he said
“The United States. thefmost pow-
erful nation in theworld. should be

tlon to lease Chambers‘ Virginia
farm to the Veterans bureau.
Representative Johnson told the
committee that in removing Charles
Kssavsge from his state to a Penn-
sylvania hospital for treatment, the
bureau had acted in defiance of a
restraining order issued by the state
courts. Dr. S. O. Smith. one of the
committee investigators testified
concerning Kuavage's case on Nov-
ember 6 and Mr. Johnson said he
appeared to protest against that
testimony and also against what he

maintained in the bureau. Charles
F. Mulberan. assistant director in
charge of claims. was explaining to
the committee the workings of his
division and the exerts in progress
to speed up consideration of the
claims of veterans for compensation.
Chairman Reed wanted,,to know
whether it really did any land for
senators and representatives to write
to the bureau about individual cases.
Muhearn indicated that it did and
described the special service section
as a “very active" one. Hie opinion
is that special consideration for
"congressional' 'cases does not oper-
ate to delay other cases and he at!-
ded that the case of every veteran
should be “given due consideration
on its merits."
That no other witnesses are to be
heard on behalf of Forbes was made
known with the announcement by
James S. Easby-Slnith. counsel for
the former director. that he rogret~
ted that the committee has no limit-
ed his time that it was impossible
for him “to present a full and ade-
quate defense of Forbes." He asked
that he be permitted to present lat-
er a memorandum of what he had
hoped to provaby witnesses and the
list of the witnesses that he would
have called. He requested also that
he be allowed to present additional
documentary evidence dealing with
the much~discussed Pcrryvilie.‘ Md..

Asserting that he had tried for two
months to keep Forges' name out of
the investigation. John F. O'Ryln.
general counsel for the“ committee
said he was obliged to bring it in be-
cause of. information turned up by
committee investigators. He' added
that additional evidence regarding

Forbes is "coming in daily'"aud that

Lipscomb who acted. as agent for
Chambers' Virginia farm. testified
that Chambers would have accepted
willingly a rental of 10.000 a year
for the place. but that a man named
Range. who came to his office. said
the price should be“ “boosted” as
there were several people "to_ be

foster-ad chiefly at present by John
Adams Fair. former chairman of the
Board of Finance. and now a mem-
ber of the board. who hopes to gain
sufficient number of adherents of
the plan to have a special town
meeting called to act upon the pro.
position.
Fair proposes to canvass the prin-
cipal residents of the town to secure
their adoptionyon the matter. and.
eventually circulate a petition to be
presented to the board of sclecilnen.
calling for the special town meet-
ing.
Reasons sentinentai and utilitarian
promote the desire to change the
name. Fair said today. “In the' first
place." said he. "the name Sauga-
tuck is far more appropriate and
distinctive than Westport. Do you
know there are fifteen Westports in
this country from Maine to Ten-
nessee and Massachusetts to Cali—
fornia. while there is but one Sausa-
tuck? There is a Westport in New
York state. so near that there is
frequent confusing in mailing and
directory consultations. There are
four Westports outside of the Uinted
States. the original of which is West-
port. Ireland. so named because the
place is situated on the west coast.
There is a Westport in Nova Scotia.
in Australia and Quebec. Now tell
me pray. where is the distinction or
individuality about a name that is
so common-place?
“We have a railroad_ station call-
ed the Westport and Sausatuok‘
Junction and the former portion of
the name could be easily dropped
without any inconvenience and much
convince to townspeople. West-
port was originally. I suppose the
western part of Fairiield. and thus
called.
“There is only one other Sam-
tuck in the world. and this = place
should rightly be called from the
river .upon which it is situated. Sa-
gatuck means ‘placid river.’ and
what prettier or more expressive
name could be thought of for the
town?" _
The customary procedure would
be for the representatives from
Westport to introduce a bill into the

Together with Joseph Slvester of
Honeyspot road, SLratford. who was
to be the best man at the wedding ct
Sprague and Miss Vigentto at an
Italian church in New Haven at 9:30
o'clock yesterday morning. Sprague
started for the girl's home shortly
before 9:00 o'clock.
When on Meadow street in New.
Haven, Sivester said he Would puro
chase a new collar; and at the first
haberdashery store the two came to.
the "best man" proceeded to, do so.
Sprague said he would go around the
corner to a restaurant and get a cup
of coffee while Sivester made his
purchase. The two agreed to meet
in front of the eating establishment.
“rhea he neared the restaurant.
Sprague says, a touring car bearing
New" York markers pulled in to the
curb. One of the two men occupants
of the machine called "Hello Char-
lie" to Sprague but the later claims
the men are unknown to him. They
asked him where he was going" and
he said to get something to eat. They
then suggested that he get into the
car. They said they were going to
the house and would drive him out.
but Sprague explained that, he was
engaged to meet his friend. and the
latter told them it was all right. that
he would follow.
Sprague got into the car and after
they had gone a short, distance one
of the men asked why he was mar-
rying» the girl. "I've done time for
her. and I don't want to see you get
in trouble." one man is claimed to
have uttered.
Another few minutes of silence
elapsed as the car sped on. and then.
the confeued lax-convict suggested
that Sprague ought to have some
perfume on him as long as he was
going to such a swell affair as a wed-
ding. Slit-sue says he handed the
man his handkerchief and'after the
fellow saturated it with liquid from
a bottle which he drew .from his
pocket. put it to his nose to smell at
the'other fellow's suggestion to get
its sweetness.
The next thing that Spregue re-
members is staggering and falling
over the ground on the Milford turn-
pike about a mile east of Milford.
Apparently his asseJiants threw him
out of the car at that spot. He was
unconscious for about three quarters
of an hour.
Passing motorists picked him up
and brought him to Milford police
headquarters where a doctor discov-
ered he had been chloroformed. He
was given treatment and taken to his
home.
Sprague said that his gold watch
and the wedding ring and $56 in cash
were taken from his person by the
two men.

NEW HAVEN. Nov. zo.—-After

ruplets. Mrs. Michael Seize. of
Womer street this city. is today
happily nursing triplets. all of whom
are well and thriving. Two girls and
one boy. weigh each about right
pounds arived Suiciday. The Salzos
have had fifteen children in their
eleven years of married life. There
have been a number of twins in her
family and Saiso's mmily boasts a
few sets.
Efforts. will now be directed to
save the lives of the triplets. Two
years .30 the qmmpleu were
born. and New Haven did her proud-
est to honor the youngsters. three
boys and one girl. They were
named for President Harding. Gov-
ernor Lake; Mayer nicer-aid and
8. Z. Poll. the girl receiving the
name of Geraldina. In spite of the
unusual care given the quartotte the
oldest and presumably the strongest.

summer with pneumonia. which de-
veloped from measles. A short time
after the death of the fourth. the
mother gave birth to a fifteen pound
boy who died=at birth. due. physi-
Clans said. to the grief which the
mother suffered over the quadrup-
lets' deaths. '
Of the fifteen children eight are
now living. four‘bbye and four girls.
The father is a’ machinists helper
with so little of the world‘s goods
that when the famous four were
born. contributions were solicited by
New Haven papers for children's
clothing'and hospital care. Mrs. 8.
a. Poll took an unusual interest in
the little family. calling the atten-
tion' of the late President Harding
and Governor Lake to them. Gifts
to them came from all parts of the
country. and the father received an
offer to exhibit. himself with the
four in local-and outside theatres.
but the New Haven board of health
,at the time forbade any such exhibi—
tion as prejudicial to the children's
interests. ‘
