According to the witness's story, they #ent up Church street and along Main street. They noticed Patrolmen Danlel Cosgrove and An thony Kozlauskas coming along Main street some distance behind them, Squillacote said, but did not | pay any attention to them as they could think of no reason for the police following them.

Reaching the corner of Elm and Park sree Squillacote id that they stopped for a minute or so when Grabeck shouted across the street for them to stop the noise and %0 home. One of the young men in the party gave the policeman a “razz", the witness said, whereupon Grabeck ran across the street Squillacote said Yhat he was not facing Grabeck as he came across the street, and the first thing he knew, he was struck on the back of the head with Grabeck's club, The policeman s then alleged to have twirled him around and struck him rain on the forchead. The witness sald that he tried to t an explanation for Grahec: but the policeman only beat him more. Squillacote said that he told Grabeck that he would go along vith him {f he was arresting him when he went to get his hat which had fallen on the ground, the assanlt was continued and he was knocked to the ground. He said that hile he was on the round, he was struck and kicked When one of his friends attempted to give him his hat. Grabeck is al teged to have chased him with his ~lub. The complainant said that “e was suhiected to a continnal beat ng on the way to the police bov n snite of the fact that he wen villinglv and offered no resistance When the patrol arrived.

Philin Panarella was cnlled upon to tell his story of the affair, and his version sauared with that of the first two witnesses. He was strucl a glaneing hlow on the back by Gra beck, he sald, although he made no attempt to interfere with the police man. The fourth allezed victim of Gra heck's club wielding was Anthonv Pignatella, who claimed that he re ceived a blow on the right thigh from Graheck when the policemar started swin~ing right and left with the stick. The witness corrohorated the stories of the previous wilnesses Anthony Desena was the fifth fo ‘ostify and after geciting his story was questioned regarding a pitch of wine that was supposed to have nlayed a part in the card game at Squillacote's house, but he de that they had anv wine at all.

He said that he treated nose and could not tell at first whether it was broken or not. The next witness was the one whose testimony brought forth the questions regarding the reasons for changing his mind as to the justi fication on the part of Grabeck for wielding the club. He was Frank nitt, who appeared reluctant to estify. In answer to Chairman Dunn's question, he admitted that he had made the statement that it was a shame the way Squillacote was treated, but he added that he had changed his mind since.

Patrolmen Cosgrove and Kozlauskas heard loud talking and singing and told them to keep quiet and go home. They stopped singing, according to the testimony and proceeded- along Main street, talking among themselves. Cos grove and Kozlauskas walked along some distance behind them to make sure they did not stop any place and resume thelr noise. Grabeck who was on the west side of Main strect, saw the young men and the two policemen walking some dis- tance behind them, so he walked along the west side of the street Arriving at the eorner of Frank- lin square and Main street, Grabeck | said that Squillacote walked away from the rest of the: bunch and made an offensive remark to Cos- grove. With this, Grabeck said that he shouted to them to keep still and go home. plied, so he went across the street and grabbed Squillacote, telling him to go home and keep still, or he would lock him up. Squillacote then is alleged to have asked Gra- beck what he was going to lock him up for, and Grabeck told him that he knew well enough. The complainant is then alleged | to have told Grabeck that he couldn’t lock him up, so the police- man placed his hand on him and told him he was under arrest. With this, Grabeck alleges that Squilla cote struck him in the ear and again under the eye, knocking his club out of his hand. Grabeck thed | went at Squillacote to protect him ed self, he said, using his fists only uillacote fought against being taken to the box, Grabeck sghd, mak- ing it necessary for him to strike him with the club. While they were standing at the box, the pris- oner is alleged to have made an- other pass at Grabeck, and when he did so, Grabeck struck him on the arm with his club. Patrolman Cosgrove and Kozlaus- kas were the other two witness:a heard by the board, their stories differing in only minor details from Grabeck's. Commissioner E. A. Parker sald that probability seemed to be lack- ing in the case regarding a police- man running across the street He said that when he first saw Squillacote, he was very much put out about the case, as it appeared that the young man had been abused, but stories he has heard since have wiped out his sympathy for the man.

The motion was scconded by Commissioner Par- and Commissioner William F. ge expressed himself as being in tavor of dismissing the charge. made Syracuse Gives Walking Papers to William Holden.

C. Hemen- way of the editorial staff of the Hartford Times. Others present who spoke for a short time were Rev, John L. Davis of New York, formerly district gov- crnor of Lions club and former pas- tor of the local M. E. church, and W. C. French, principal of the Cen- tral Junior High school, who has returned after a year's leave of ab- sence. Mr. French is past president of the club. P. F. King, chalrman of the board of education, and former | president of the club, also spoke. Dave Young, Scotch comedlan, led the singing and musé was furnished by Joe Fazzina and his piano-accor- dion. The attendance prize, donated | by Attorney Stanley Traceskl, was won by Harry G. Hancock. In his discussion of the medical practice act, Mr. Hemenway said in part: eryone probably s familiar with the need for a new law to gov- ern the practice of the act of heal- :ng. Some well informed people have known for years that condi- tions in the state were not all they should be for the protection of the lives and health of those who are dependent upon doctors, but it re- quired a grand jury investigation and the sentencing of some people to jail to interest the state at large in the situation. “The history of that grand jury inquiry and the main facts which were brought out are familiar to most of you. Jt suffices to say that it was learned that Connecticut was a dumping ground for the fly-by- night alleged medical colleges of the ‘country to dump the output of their diploma mills. It had established the unenviable reputation of being one of the eastest states for the poorly qual- ifiled or even entirely unqualified practitioner to get a foothold. “'Heretofore the custom has been to recognize the different echools of healing a3 they acquire standing and to appoint a board to conduct exam- inations in each school. The board was composed of practitioners {n that school. That made each school the custodian of its own morals and conduct. “That is all abolished in the new law. There is to be one examining board, if the law passes, and that board will not include the represent- atives of any echool of healing. It is | to be composed of la. men. Hereafter | Connecticut isn't go.ng to take &0 much interest in the school of prac- | tice to which the applicant for a li- cense belonge as it does in his funda- mental fitness of character and train Ing to assume responsibility for the | care of the sick. g “Hereafter, if this law | Connecticut will require a certain | tundamental training and kaowl- edge. Once he can assure the ex- aminers that he has that training and if a fit person to be allowed to practice, the licensee {s at liberty to practice according to any school he |sees fit. It is taken for granted, of course, that a physician who is well trained will not use any method which is not suitable. Furthermore, the board is authorized to appoint a grievance hoard and the physician who abuses the right to practice may be summoned before it. “Now what are to be the require- ments? In the first place no one now in practice who has been legally licensed and whe has practiced no < fraud in obtaining his license will be deprived of his right to practice. A | reasonable knowledge is to be re- quired of physiological chemistry, biophysi biology, parasitolo toxicology, human physiology omy, pothology, embryolog hyglene, etc., in other words a mini- mum of training in the basic physio- logical sciences. A minimum of gen- eral education also will be required. “Is there anyone here who wants !to be treated by a doctor whose training is any less, regardless of the school to which lie belongs. “One thing should be mAde clear because representatives of certain { schools are sure to raise a cry about | the doctors’ trust and to charge that they are being discriminated against. | When this cry arises bear in mind |that no barrier against any school ‘or |cult is raised by this proposed law. |Indeed it is required that all exam- {ination shall be so conducted as not to discriminate against the particu- lar views of any bonafide organiza passes, - tion, sect or school as to any reme- | dies or treatment of any system of therapeutics. | “Nothing could be fairer than that and nothing could be more reason- able or intelligent than this proposed new method of determining the qualifications of those who ask the right to heal our ills. After all the thing to be interested in is not the right of men to earn a living by practicing a profession which they may not have properly and ade- quately learned, but the protection of the public health and safety. That is the one thing to keep In mind. If Connecticut had had |1aw that is now asked we should have escaped much of our recent trouble, By all mcans let us have it now that the evils of the old system |and its dangers have been pointed out to us. Let us, as good citizens, {put our influence hehind this legis- lation and demand that it be enacted into law.” BUILDING ROARD MEETING The organization meeting of the building commission which has been postponed several times, will be held tonight at 8 o'clock, and the elec- | tion of Rickard Viets as chairman is expected. Three members of the present board were appointed last {week, Commissioners Viets and John ‘Walsh being the only members of the old board remaining. The latter will not accept the chairmanship. and since it is the mayor's wish that a member of the old board head the commission, the election of Viets is | practically assured. the kind of a | SRR S KANSAS GIRLS NEED NO ROUGE, REPORTERS SAY At Least That is Opinion of Those Who Interviewed Miss Vada Watson.
