We were shown no courtesy." Opposes Action. Councilman Lewis M. Pugh then voiced an opinion against taking any netlon on the matter until the Mayor returned. Councilman Pohlman then said: "I always feel that my brother takes advantage of me, as the Mayor did in the matter of the polite ap- pointments, that I have to~slup back when I can. I don't feel. under the cILcumstances. that we are taking may palticular advantage 0\er any- one. " The motion was then put by Act- ing lianOL ll olfe and as the vote was being taken, Councilmen Guns. Pugh and Benton jumped up and started out of the room. The mo- tion was passed and the Acting May- or approved of the appointment. Acting Mayor Wolfe then said: "i thought that I was dealing with a bunch of men. but from the ac- tions of some of the members of this Council I feel that I have been deal- ing with a bunch of children. I was going to refrain from making these appointments but. under the circum- stances, I will make thorn." c then named the four regular po- liccmen. Councilman John Frizzell stated that the. new firemen were needed very badly and that they should be appointed. Acting Mayor Wolfe then named the firemen and the Council ap» proved them., Last meeting. The meeting adjourned without setting any ‘date for another session. It was the final meeting of this ad- ministration. According to some of the Council- men and City Clerk Irving Robert- son the Mnyor called on the long distance phone from Hartford yes- terday and stated that there would be no meeting last evening, but the charter states that the Council meetings shall be held on the sec- ond Tuesday of each month unless adjourned by the Council.

Shortly after his appointment be was placed on night duty in East Norwalk and for many years was the only offi- cer doing duty in that section. pne night several years ago. while patroling his beat he discovered a light. in the Albert Hefner's Seaview avenue store and went around to the rear door to investigate. As he started to enter the store, he was shot by a burglar. who then ran away and was never apprehended. The officer was at the point of death for several days and lay in the hospital with a bullet in the back of his head. ._ ' He finally recovered. but the bul- lvt was never removed. After some- time, he returned to his night beat in East Norwalk and remained there until less than a year ago when he was placed on day .duty. I The appointment seems ’to meet with favor thought the police do. parlment and the city. It was voted by the Council that the new Detective Sergeant should take his office at once. The police- men and the firemen will go into office October 1. Just what action the Mayor and the Republicans will take. if any. has not been stated. Some of the Republican leaders seem to think that the appointments would not hold, while several prominent local attorneys stated this morning that. there was no qpcstion about the ap- pointments as the charter had been followed out in every detail. Old Rule of Romance To First Make For- tune, Reversed— He Squandered $500,000 NEW YORK. .-—In the old romances the heroine made the hero wait until he no dlald away a for- tune before she would beceme his wife. But Joyce Desmond. pretty. red- haired little New York artists‘ mod- el, made Rex Fairbanks. the man of her heart. wait until lee had squan- dered every dime before she con- sented to marry hlm. And that doesn't mean that she encouraged him to be extravagant. either. . But. as Joyce puts it: "We're broke now, and maybe we . can be happy." It all started nearly two yenisago. Young Fairbanks had just become of age and inherited a fortune of nearly $500,000. And $500,000 is a lot of money to hand to a young chap just turned 21. It went to Fanrbanks' head like wine. and he left his home in Den- ver and came to New York. with the avowed intention of taking Igroadway apart to see what made it ck. He succeeded. Broadway. be dis- covered. ticks to the tune of nice crisp bills. So he rented the most expensive suite of rooms he could find and proceeded to listen. Joyce Desmond lived in Oklaho- ma. Visiting relatives in New York. she met Fairbanks. The two promptly fell in love and became en- gaged. Joyce began to build air castles. The future looked too good to be true. It was. Young Fairbanks was surrounded by “friends." male and female. whose sole interest -'in life seemed to lie in helping him think up ways to spend his money. The catastrophe came about a year ago. when Fairbanks. Joyce and a. group of acquaintances were idling about Newport. “There was an Englishwoman in the crowd." Joyce explains. "I didn’t like her because she was try- ing to get Rex away from me. One night we had a. party and Rex was with her every minute. "So I took a revolver out of my handbag and shot Rex-in the leg. I Telephone operators often slip in tired twice but I guess I was nor- Broke! Now She’ll Wed Him "Rex went to the hospital and I went to jail. But he refused to pros- ecute me so they let me go. And then he and I had a. little talk. “I told him I was through with. him as long as he was living the life of a rich young wastrel. When his money was gone. I said. I'd see him again. but not before. Then I left and went to stay with relatives up in Toronto." Months passed. Fhirbanks' money kept. slipping away, until presently the young man awoke to find he was broke—as broke as any man ever was. ‘ And then. as he puts it. he "got wise" to himslof. He got a job as an engineer's assistant in a hospital here. at just $100 a month. lived in a third floor bedroom on the East Side. lived largely on beans and de- cided that he didnt care If Broad- way never ticked again.

And presto—the ro- mance that went on the rocks when the young man was rich found everything smooth sailing now that he was poor. “We're going to be married next week." said Joyce. just home from the studio where she poses. “And I think we can be happy now. Rex hasn't got anymoney and neither have I. It was money that brought all our unhappiness. and we don’t care for it. . ‘ “We're planning to go West as soon as we're married.

One resolution discussed yesterday will be aimed at nationally known bak- ing companies whose sympathies are said to be opposed to organi- zed ,labor. A resolution to change the date of the convention from September to June will be introduecd’also. ‘ Another resolution which is not expected to encounter any opposi- tion is that of permitting the elec- tion lit a vice president from the same city where another officer comes from. . Considerable discussion is expec- ted on two resolutions which prob- ably wlll. come up today. One is the resolution requiring delegates to wear five union labels on their clothing or be disqualified from at- tending tho sessions of the conven- tion. Because of the difficulties en- countered by delegates from rural sections and the consequent embar- rassment. it is likely this ruling will be modified. Another resolution looked for to- day is one asking for sentiment in favor of a. modification of the new state mOvie tax law. Reports of delegates will be con- tinued this morning Addresses are expected to be made today by James It. Duncan. vice president‘of the American Federation of Labor. and by Attorney C. .l. Danaher.
