Herald “Ads” Mean Better Business PAONESSA ANDHALLORAN NEW MEN GIRD LOINS FOR HARD FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF CONVENTION Mayor’s Compromise is Turned Down Flatly and Gauntlet is Tossed by Congressional As- pirant Early Indications Point t.o Slight Majority for Hal- loran — Ward Caucuses " Prove Interesting. Declining to grant the request of Mayor A. M. Paonessa that he be given control of the delegation to the state convention in return for a prom- ice that ex-Mayor Joseph M. Hallor- an would have absolute control of the congressional delegation, friends of the latter are this afternoon making ready for one of the hardest fights that a democratic convention floor has witnessed in many years. The Paonessa crowd will go to the gathering at K. of C. meeting hall on Main street, at § o'clock tonight bent upon the purpose of wresting from Halloran control of the convention and selecting a state delegation that is agreeable to Paonessa’s wishes,! while friends of the latter are girding their loins in an effort to hold what appears to be but a slight margin in Halloran's favor over Paonessa. Analysis of Candidates. Perusal of the lists of delegates chosen in the six wards indicates that the congressional eandidate has prac- tically the entire third and fourth ward delegations, a goodly share of | the first and second ward members and a sufficient number of members from the fifth and sixth wards to hold the balance of power. The mayor's office at City hall was one of the busiest in the city today. He was visited by the recognized fac- tional leaders from the time of his arrival this morning and informal conferences were the order of the day. Halloran was also seen in conference with friesids while representatives of both men spent the day lining up such delegates as were considered of independent or doubtful mind. Conrercace at Noon Although Mr. Halloran haa no gom- ment to make concerning the reports, the persistency with which claims of direct proposals by Paonessa men cal- culated to grease the convention wheels tonight are being heard leads one to believe their truth, A delega- tion of Halloran men, headed by the candidate, conferred at noon today with the ‘“triumvirate”—Paonessa Registrar T. J. Smith and James P. Kiniry—and the meeting was said to havebeen anything but harmonious or productive of the fruits for which it was called. The business is sald to have been a compromise, Paonessa offering to Halloran the congressional delegation in return for the state delegation. | This the Halloran men declined to ac- cept, apparently contented that they held' the whip hand and re-enforcing their refusal with assertions that no individuals or groups could delegate powers that belonged to the conven- tion along. After a discusion pro and con, during which as an additional tn- ducement, Kiniry is said to have agreed to have the congressional con- vention held some time prior to the original daths, the party adjourned, no agreements having been reached, it is sald. Excitement Prevails. Delegates to the democratic city convention were elected last night at caucuses staged amid scenes . of great excitement, during the course of | which one fist fight was staged and a | second disorder was quieted by the arrival of a minion of the law. The several wards selected dele- gates in numbers apportioned by the town committee. In the fourth and sixth wards, reeolutions were intro- duced endorsing the candidacy of ex- Mayor Joseph M. Halloran for con- gress. Convention Tonight. At 8 o'clock tonight in the K. of C, meeting hall on Main street, the 77 delegates-elect will gather In conven- tion to be presided over by Lawyer Davil L. Dunn, chairman of the town committee. The meeting will select | 16 delegates to the state convention, 16 delegates to the congressional eonvention, four probate convention delegates and a delegation to the county convention, the number to be announced this evening. The mat- ter of nominating candidates for senator and representatives in the general assembly will also come up. A slate, which is understood to be the only one in the field, will be brought in with the name of Morey Borlen for senator and John J. Kiniry and John F. Callahan for rep- resentatives. Mr. Borlen was a can- didate for city treasurer at the last elty election; Mr. Kiniry is an active party worker and has been men- tioned on several occasions in the past for democratic nominations; Mr. Callahan is a member of the present board of park commissioners. Delegates Selected. The delegations from the six wards are as follows: First Ward—T. w. Hinchliffe, James Sposato, John J. Riley, James Dawson, Albert Volz, Fdward X.

Greenan died as a result of burne which the police said his wife Mary confessed he had received when she threw boiling water on him at their home Monday night. She said that he had been drinking and had- ahused her. She had a marriage certificate she said to prove that she was married to Greenan in this city in 1918. Because her husband had been drinking heavily since he received a legacy of $5,000 two years ago from an uncle, she said she had been forced to work in a mill to support herself and her two children.

RAIL STRIKE LEADER STANGELY MISSING {Johnston Disappears Dur- ing Peace Rumors—Offi- cials Deny Overtures Washington, Sept. 6.—At the mo- ment when rumors of impending par- tial settlement of the rail strike were in wide, though controverted circula- tion today W. H. Johnston, president of the international association of ma- chinists one of the largest of seven rail unions now on strike has dis- appeared completely. Mr. Johnton's assoclates and his family professed ignorance of his whereabouts but were unanimous in their confidence that he was on offi- clal and important duty. At machin- ists headquarters here inquiries broubht the reply that he was ‘“in Pittsburgh, Baltimore or New York.” Adding to the mystery was the es- tablished fact that Mr. Johnston had a conversation yesterday with Secre- tary of Commerce Hoover before he dropped out of sight and was reported to have informed the secretary that settlement prospects were bright. Chicago, Sept. 8 (By Assoclated Press)—Union officlals at the head- quarters of the railway employes de- partment of the American Federa- tion of Labor today continued to deny the published reports that a meeting of the policy committee had been summoned to meet here tomorrow in connection with peace moves in the shopmen’s strike. Intimation ! that there possibly would be a meeting of union chiefs in the east was given by John Scott sec- retary of the railway employes de- partment but he would give no defi- nite information. Asked if the policy committement were on their way to Chicago Mr. Scott said: “They are going the other way.” He said B. M. Jewell head of the railway employes department had not returned from the east. Mr. Jewell is said to have been registered at a Baltimore hotel on Saturday. COAL STRIKE WILL ENDANGER HEALTH Such Is Fear Today by Dr. Fred P. Lee, Superintendent of Muni- cipal Health Department. That the after effects of the coal strike will be reflected in a marked degree in health conditions about the city is feared by Dr. Fred P. Lee, sup- erintendent of the board of health, who expressed himself this morning as of the belief that the Rocky Hill sanitarium will be filled to capacity soon after the cold weather sets in. There ahe now 13 pitients in the in- stitution, the capacity of which is but 20 beds. The health board has had trouble inducing tuberculosis patients to accept hospitalization, but with lit- tle coal in the homes of the poor, Dr. L.ee feels that there will be more calls for beds than the city can take care of. Not only in cases of tuberculosis, but in all diseases will the coal sit- nation have serious effects, Dr. Lee believes. Under favorable conditions in the coal market, the winter prob- lems of the health board are great, lut with the added troubles incident to the lack of fuel, Dr. Lee anticipates a busy season LEGION'S SPECIAL CAR Trolley Will Leave Center At 12 | o'Clock Noon, Instead of At 9:30 A.

GENERAL AND JUDGE John J. Dowd, in Plea to Senator, Claims In- junction Was Issued in Violation of U. S. Con- stitution Senator Robinson, in Senate Today, Openly Claims Federal Court Has Ex- ceeded Its Authority. New York, Sept. 6.—Initiation of proceedings for the impeachment of Attorney General Daugherty and Federal Judge Wilkerson of Chicago on the ground that the strike in- Junction granted by the latter at the formers’ request was in violation of the constitution, was urged on Sen- ator Borah in a telegram dispatchal today By John J. Dowd, chairman “of the general strike committee of the eastern raflroad shopmen. The message addressed to Senator Borah, as chairman of the senpate committee on education and labor, follows: “‘On behalf of 25,000 railroad shop« men on strike in the New York met- ropolitan district we urge upon. you' the immediate necessity for the im- peachment of Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty and Federal Judge Wilkerson. 3 Violation Clatmed. “The injunction against the strike ing railroad shopmen requested by the attorney general and issued by Judge Wilkerson constitutes a viola- tion by high government officials of the constitutional guarantees of American freedom and of specific federal statutes without precedent in the history of the nation. “Soft words of interpretation spokep in ‘high official quarters’ aft- er the issuance of the injunction can- not mitigate the plain language and intent of the document. Nor can they wipe out the astounding admis- sion by the attorney general reported in the press the day the order was issued that he would use the power of the government to maintain the open shop.” Hits At Free Speech. The Arkansas senator declared that the injunction “abridged freedom of speech and of the press and the right of people peaceably to assemble.” He argued also that it violated the section of the Clayton act which, He sald, implied “that laborers may or ganize and act in concert for the purpose ~f mutual help without the risk of prosecution under antitrust laws.” Hits At Injunction Washington, Sept. 6.—The injune. tion obtained by the government against the striking railway shopmen was declared today in the senate by Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkan- sas, to be violative of both the con- stitution and the Clayton anti-trust act, Senator Robinson charged that the federal court exceeded its authority in issuing the temporary restraining or- der and declared that the alleged ad- vantages to be derived from the order “‘are more than offset by the perman- ent impairment of the reputation of the federal judiciary for integrity and impartiality which must result from such an unwarranted assumption of authority.” iixt KERIN-KITSON "¥T8% Local Young Couple Married at 8¢ Mary's Church by the Rev.

New Haven, Sept. 6.—Resolutions which were adopted Monday by the Sgandinavian grand lodge of Connec- ticut International Order of Good Templars, at its annual convention in Naugatuck were made public here to- day with the proceedings of the body. Among the resolutions was one deal- ing with national prohibition. This contalned these words: Hits At Shipping Board “We demand that ‘congress make it definitely clear (if doubt there be) that the traffic In alcoholic liquors on board vessels owned and operated by our government is a violation of the 18th amendment; that the proposal to amend the Volstead act to permit the sale of so-called ‘light wines and beer’ is a deception and a fraud, since every sane person knows that what advocates want is the sale of liquor with sufficient alcohol to have a ‘kick in it.’ Urge Severe Penalties lahan, John F.

Would Deport Aliens Approval of the bill passed by the lower house of congress providing that allens who are convicted of vio- lation of prohibition laws be deported was given.
