NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1914. 100 MUCH MUSTARD; TRA LA LA, SMASH! Deeads Wife by Wiclding Bottic of Salad Dressing. To have made his thrashing more effective and harmonious there should have been a hurdy gurdy standing on the corner of Hartford avenue and North street playing the well known rag, “Too Much Mustard,” when Steve Cubles was rendered hors de combat By Mike Byko 'last evening. During the melee the good old-fashionea fists were used to advantage by one iof the participants while the other Wielded a bottle full of mustard in a Masterly fashion. When the bottle €ame into contact with the skull it Was more than the glass could stand, With the result that the bottle broke, leaving the unfortunate young man's head, hair and face plastered with the thick, brown mustard. Officer Farrell made the arrest and testified to seeing one of the bellizer- ents plastered with mustard and the other bathed in blood. 3 Cubles Discharged. . The stories of the two men differed materially, but Cubles told the most | straight and was dis- | charged by Judge Meskill, fined $7 and costs. Annoyed His Wife. .

Continuing Byko sald “I know lots of young ladies who would be glad to show their babies. If she was sensi- ble she would too but that shows she is not sensible.” Regarding the fight he claims that Cubles came up to him last night and after a féw preliminary words at once opened hostilities. Byko denied that he has been annoying Mrs. Cubles and said he had never been warned to keep away from her. Fr Martin Frisk, of Henry street, was in court today on a breach of the peace charge but was placed on pro- bation and given another chance. His wife testified that he came home last night and showed signs of drink. He became angry and used profane lan- guage, finally finishing up his wrangle by smashing the dishes. Mrs. Frisk d that they have nine children and although her husband drinks fre- quently he supports them. Frisk did not have much to say but when Prosecutor Andrew produced a small flask and asked him what was in it he sald “Bitters.” Bitters nothing, that is pure alco- hol. Aren’t yvou an alcohol drinker?” asked the prosecutor. | Judge Meskill then took a sniff of the bottle and declared that it smelled lke whiskey. Frisk, however, insisted that it was a mixture of Nash stomach bitters and water. Gets Another Chance. Case is' Continued. Upon the request of Attorney P. F.

P. SUCCESS sen. Elihu R;o( Addrésses New York Repubi.can State Convention. Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 18.—Address- ing the New York republican state convention which met here today un- der the novel condition of being with- out power to nominate candidates for oftice, since the new primary law calls for their selection by the voters of the party at the primary election on September 28, United States Sena- tor KElihu Root, the temporary chairman of the convention, pointed out the most essential factors which might lead to republican success this fall. It is, as he noted, the first time in eighteen years that the republican party of the state comes to the elec- tion of its state government and its national representatives as the party of opposition beth in the state and nation. The party was about to ap- peal, he said, to the voters of the state not only for a judgment upon the conduct of the government by the democratic party at Albany, but also in Washington Says Democrats Failed. He charged that since the cratic party took possession of the national government a year and a half ago, with a program *by which they proposed to set free every Amer- jcan from the incubus of too great success by others, to reduce the cost of llving, and to give new life and prosperity to American production and commerce,” it had failed. He took up particularly the experi- ments with the tariff, which he as- serted had been carried out in a spirit of hostility to American industry, and suggested that “perhaps the time has now come when the American people are ready again to try the protective system upon its merits and to call for legislation inspired by a spirit of friendliness toward American indus- try.” He believed no one could claim any reduction in the general cost of living as a result of the tariff for revenue only. Raps Financial System. He likewise attacked the demo- cratic program in relation to the fi- nanclal system and the control of trusts and corporations, He remarked that elght months had passed since the banking and currency act became law, and that the ‘delay in putting this into operation, together with the proposed legislation against trusts and corporations had had. an ill ef- fect on the count “The spirit of the dominant party.” he said in deal- ing with these business problems, im- pressed the enterprise of the country “with a sense that the government is hostile.” Enterprise halts.” he continued, “because it distrusts and fears the democratic party. In the meantime, while private enterprise is repressed, government control grows. It has bheen discovered that by grading the income tax and fixing a high exemp- tion, practically the entire tax may be .drawn from the great industrial communities of New England, the Middle Stat and the Central West, while the disposition of the mone raised by taxation may be determined by representatives of other parts of the country which have paid none of the tax; so that one set of Americans is to pay the money and another set of Americans is to spend it.” He pointed to the $85,000,000 voted to build railroads in Alaska, and the $25,000,000 voted by the House for good roadr, @&s ‘“the prelude of schemes running up into the biljjons” for spending the money taken from rich states by taxation. timates Progressive Movement. His estimate of the Progressive movement he reflected as follows: “In this controversy with the Democratic party the Republican party stands alone. The threat of a third party, which alarmed many Republicans two years ago and still vexed us one vear ago has practically disappeared. It is now plain that it never had an real substance apart from the pow- erful personality of Mr. Rooseveit.' At the coming state primaries the Republican voters are to select can- didates for twenty-four offices to be filled by the voters of the entire state: United States Senator, Judge of the Court of Appeals, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Comptroller, Attorney General, State Treasurer, State Engineer and Surveyor, and fifty delegates at large to the constitutional convention. Under the conditions of the new primaries, Senator Root saw many pitfalls, He saw defects in the pri- mary law, but urged upon the Re- publicans that it was their obvious duty to accept it for the present in good faith. The duties of the con- vention, he said, were to adopt a platform upon which the Republican candidates chosen at the primaries might stand; to approve the proposa of the National Committee of the party to make representation in the national conventions conform more closely to the Republican vote in the several states: and to represent the Republican voters to the state in con- sulting about the policy to be followed {by the party In selecting candidates so that the voters might act effectively at the primary election “with a com- mon purpose to secure party success {at the regular election.” Unfortunate He foresaw an unfortunate result if in each place the republicans were to vote at the p as they naturally n for res of their “own vicinity, or if the voters of one large place were to vote in that way, while the republicans of all the rest of the state divided among a great number of candidates. l “Our opponents will have no such demo- s0 Results, trouble,” he continued. ‘“More than POINTS OUT FACTORS |ZZis Holiness Pope Pius X.

The voters in the republican primary, scattered through sixty-two counties, unbossed, will fol- low nobody's direction, but will act each according to his own judgment, and it will be necessary that they themselves shall consider what will be the effect of their action in regard to the distribution of candidates.” For the chief offices, for which men widely known would be candidates, he saw less trouble over the geographical cohesion, but he believed it would be impossible for the voters to make up a list of fifteen delegates at distributed throughout the state with- out some previous understanding. looked upon it as a dut vention to remedy this situation in purt by drawing up recommenda- tions, leaving the voters to accept as much or as little as they choose.
