Similar sup-

The proposal that Connecticut

to officers of the Manufactures As-
sociation on the proposition that "a

It is anticipated by both the rail-
road company and the officers of the
Manufactures' Association that the
great majority of the manufacturers
subscribing will not place their bonds
on the market at an early date but
will hold them until they are retir—
ed. The terms of the bond issue
provide for an annual sinking fund
of two per cent. under which it is
expected that more than half of the
bonds will be retired before their ma-
turity in 1940.

"The representatives of the in-

of industry among New Haven bond-
holders will strengthen and stabilize
conditions throughout Southern New
England. This view has been uni-

generally regarded as having some-
thing to do with the considerable
appreciation in the market values of
New Haven securities during the
last few weeks. It is therefore more
important that a large proportion of
members of the Manufacturers' as-
sociation should subscribe in some
amount for the bonds than that a
smaller number of members should
take bonds to an equal value in the
aggregate."
In including its call upon its mem-
bers to purchase some .of the. bonds.
the Manufacturers’ association says:
"The Board of Directors and their
Special Committee, like the repre-
sentatives of Industry in Massachu-

the superior of Frank B. Brandegee
has not represented Connecticut in
the Senate since the days of Trum-
fbail and Shannan declared Senator
George P. McClean today in a eulo-
gy of his late colleague prepared for
delivery at memorial services in the
senate.
"He had flashes of genius rather
hard to describe." said Senator Mc-
Lean. "He loved the word "no." He
was a conservative and he admitted
it. He wanted to save and perpetu-
ate the institutions and customs
which the American people had ac-
quired and approved in long centur-
ies of conscientious and intelligent
experiment. As he put it. lie did not
believe in wading inlarge pools of
water where he could not see the
bottom: he did not believe in div-
ing into mud puddles for the pur-
pose of rescuing reflected stars."
The news that his colleague "had
voluntarily shut from his eyes the
torturing sludows that could not be
lifted by time or friends" was hard-
ly a. surprise to Senator McLean.
who realized last summer. he aid.
that "the dark soil of solitude and
the cruel theme of introspection had
ended a. career which otherwise
nevi: reopened into it more abundant
harvest of happy years and high
achievement) ’
Antecedents
Tracing the late senator's ante-
cedents from John Rogers of early
Connecticut history down through
Augustine Brandegee. a brilliant fa-
ther. to the athletic Yale youth. ‘who
later became speaker of the state
assembly Senator McLean. who was
his roommate in Hartford. gave an
intimate picture “or the Brandegce
of that day.
"That winter we greatly enjoyed
discussing and solving all the im-
portant political and social prob-
lems of the day." he said. "Braude~
goo was half a recluse. and l two~
thirds one. Both were bachelors at
the time. But he being one of the
outstanding eligibles or the state. I
asked him why he did not marry.
His reply was, “Young frogs would
best keep out of wells."
In the controversy over the lee-
gue of nations. Senator McLean
said he saw Brandegoe reveal his
strength as an honorable foe. Un-
bonding and emphatic himself,
Brandoegce expected and admired
like qualities in those who hold con»
trary views. provided they were
honestly entertained. and in defense
of what he believed to be right his
courage was unlimited, said Senator
McLean.
During his service in Congress.
Senator McLean recalled he evident-
ly believed in the saying that one
must avoid public' places and his
own mirror to rec a truly great
man. for, said Mr. McLean. "cer-
tainly his own eyes were never daz-
zled by the shining armour of a
little brief authoriW." -
“In his opinion human nature and
all the other varieties were very
closely tied to their mothers' apron
strings," said ‘enaior McClenn. “not
that be neglected duty or Opportun-
ity but through his, philosophy ran
a. somber thread of fatalism which
he was inclined to follow for better
or worse. and which at times led
him into a state of mental and phy-
sical indifference and held him back
from attempting leadership that his
abilities warranted. He believed that
a: z. rilliled its progress was as lilo-1y
s n ercd as acce
lawmaker." icratcd by the
Moses Speaks .s
The life of the late Senator Bran-
dcgeo of Connecticut was one of
service, Senator Moses. of New
finmpshire. declared in his address.
. "In it." Mr. Moses added. "he
found no master but his own con-
science. no mistress but his coon;
try. and he followed both with de-
voted loyalty to the tragic end of
his days."
. ”The quflues which ‘Senator
Brandcgee brought here." Senator
Moses continued, "gave him dis-
tinction from the first. His person-
ality was most pleasing and his
mental attainments Wore of the
highest order. Ho posaowed excep-
tional qualities as an euecflve pub-
lic speaker, and. from whatever
problem to which he applied his
mind he was always sure to bring
out the utmost of detailed knowl-
edge."
"The late Senator Lodge was an
impressive figure not only in Amer-
ica, but his reputation as a. dis-
tinguished statesman extended into
the chancciicry of every government
in the world." Senator David 1.
Welsh. his Democratic colleague.

counter where he was counting the
money. began to laugh. thinking it
was some of his friends trying to
play a Joke on him. but upon tuk-‘
ing a second look at the men decid-
cd thatrthey meant what they-said.
He put up his hands.
One of the men stood in the cen-
ter of the floor covering both
clerks with a gun. As the other man
started around the rear of the coun-
ter, he said: .
“Stand still and be sure you don‘t
move."
The bandit scooped the money
and put it into his pocket. Both men
then left the store. jumping into
the Ford touring car. in which there
was two other men. The car then
turned into Church street and went
off in the direction of Darien.
Calls Police
Bloom ran out of the store to get
the numbers of the car. but it had
gained considerable headway before
he reached the sidewalk and was too
far away for him to catch the reg-
istration.
Bloom hurried int the home of a
neighbor and phoned lo the police.
.Patrolman Frazier and Webb were
dispatched to the scene. but could
find no trace of the car.
Other member: of the local police
force were sent in search of the
men and the state police patrolled
the highways in automobile and mo-
torcycles in an effort to locate the
car. ,
Bloom described the men as best
he could to the pollon stating that
One was about five feet ton inches
in height. about 23 years old and
were .1 dark cap, The other hand”
was (inscribed as being about five
feet. eleven inches. wearing a. blue
overcoat and a, gray hut.

there was one man in the front seat
and another in the rear seat. She
could not describe the men.
The police are under the imprcs.
sion that the automobile. used by the
men might have been one that was
stolen from A. Eirhinge in Man
shall st'reet earlier in the evening.
This car. a Ford touring car. sim-
ilar to the one used by tho hold-up
men. was later found by Patrolman
Martin Lengyol. abandoned in Clay
street.
It was stated this morning by the
police that the men might have
turned back into Taylor avenue
from Church street and gone from
Taylor avenue to Flax Hill road and
then to Clay street, leaving the car
in that street.
It is thought that the hold-up was
the work of local men. because of
their familiarity with the streets of
the city.
The police of nearby cities were
notified to be on the lookout for the
men. but as yet no clue has been ob-
tained. The state police as well as
the local authorities are still inves-
tigating the case.
The store was insured against
theft with the Taylor and Golden
company.. The 8226 which was tak-
en wu paid by that company to the
Modern .Grocery company this
morning.
