Althgush organized but a few weeks the New Britain chapter of the Dis- abled American Veterans of the World war did splended work in spreading Christmas cheer among disabled men in various state hospitals, .

N IPUNCHED ON NOSE, SKULL FRACTURED Main St, Business Man in Hospi- tal, Friend Under Arrest James Pope, of 20 Myrtle street, is held In bonds of $2,600 as the result of an altercation he is alleged to have had with Phillp White of Meriden in the Edwards Clothes Shop at 208 Main street, late Saturday afternoon, White is at the New Britain General hospital with a possible fracture of the skull, and for a time grave fears were entertained for his recovery, At the hospital today it was stated that he was somewhat improved though his condition is still considered seri- ous, Pope was placed under arrest by Sergeant George J. Ellinger and Po- lleeman Patrick McAvay and at the time he was booked on a charge of assault and breach of peace but later when the case took on a more serious aspect, the police decided to hold Pope without bail, and he occupied a ceil in the police station until ar- raigned in police court yesterday morning before Judge G. W. Klett, He was represented by Judge W. I Mapgan, and following a plea of not guilty, the case was continued until next Monday. White, the injured man, and Ed- ward Goldstein are partners in the store where the alleged affair took place. Pope has been a friend of Goldstein, both rooming at the Hotel Grand on Myrtle street. Pope, it is claimed by the police, often visited Goldstein at his store and during busy time assisted n the capacity of clerk. About 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon Pope appeared at the store and wait- ed on customers, going out and re- turning several times. About 7 o'clock, it was sald, it was seen that he had been drinking and he was called to the rear of the store by White who, it is alleged, said: “Come on out, you're a good fellow, I'll kiss you,” This display of affection, it is claimed, riled Pope, wherupon he is alleged to have struck White in the face. The latter cried for help, and Goldstein and a clerk, on entering a rear room, found him bleeding from the nose. The police were summoned, and Pope was taken into custody. A short time later White collapsed in the store and he was rushed to the hospital. PLAN TO IDENTIFY MER ROUGE SLAYERS Claim Is Made That Hooded Kidnap- pers Lifted Masks, Disclosing Identity. Bastrop, La., Dec. 26.—Secret serv- ice men who have werked on the case several months said *here today the state would be able to identify several members of the masked mob Which Jast August kidnapped five Mer Rouge residents, including Watt Dan- iels and Thomas Richards, whose de- capitated bodies were taken from a nearby lake last week. A farmer will testify at the open hearing, ordered by Governor Parker to begin January 5, that he witnessed the seizure and spiriting away of the quintet and recognized some of the abductors when they lifted their hoods to drink water they had forced him to get for them, the investigators said. The farmer was held up by the band on the Mer Rouge-Bastrop high- way, it was said, and sent for water by the thirsty men. The investigators declined to dis- close the witness's whereabouts, but it was intimated that he is somewhene in Mississippi under protection of a federal officer. Plans for the open hearing here will be formulated at a conference in New Orleans next Thursday of those conducting the inquiry. The coroner's inquest over the bodies of Daniels and Richards and the report of the New Orleans pathologists who conducted the autopsy will be discussed. Christmas dinners were served to the troops stationed here and at Mer Rouge. Officers of two companies of militia here and newspapermen were entertained at a dinner given by the chief of the department of justice forces conducting the investigation here.

The federal government consequently, it was said, had been forced to pay higher interest rates and rajse its taxes to unprecedented fig- ures, Collection of the data by the cen- sus bureau is regarded as one of itg ardest tasks, second only to the cen- sus of population. The bureau's rep- resentatives must go into every county in the union and in some instances will have to search records of schoor and road districts as well as the files of other local authorities.
