WATERBURY MEN HELD FOR LOTTERY Three Are Indioted—Alleges Prizes Not Paid Waterbury, < Feb. 17 (P —Secret indictments against Frank A. Greg- ory and Nathan N. Polancer of Wa- terbury and Arthur Greenburg, also inown as Arthur Greenberg, of Iartford, are the basis of an agree- ment entered into between United :tates Attorney Frederick Tarr in ston and former Assistant United states Attorney James A. Carroll in tast night's developments in the in- quiry into the victory double action reasury balance lottery, with head- .narters in Waterbury. “Lost” $3,000 Chiet Deputy James A. Tighe of| he department of justice in Boston last night admitted that the threu men named are indicted for con- ducting & lottery and will appear in Lioston Friday to plead to the charges, under the terms of the agreement. The investigation is the result of an investigation started by IKaregan Dagavarian, a Charlestown, Mass., man who was defrauded of $3,000 in the lottery, he alleges, Federal investigators connected with the bureau of investigation of the department of justice in Boston are in Waterbury checking up fur- ther details of the activities of the lottery here, according to John| Dowd, agent in charge of the bu- reau. It is expected more arrests in the case will be worked up by the Investigators. Department of| justice officials agree that the two| Waterbury men held are probably| only the operating agents of the| real owners of the lottery In Water- | bury. Hints that the investigation' may strike several prominent men in this city are well founded, the| investigators indicate. | Another Winner Loses. | Joseph A. Bergin, counsel for Wil- | liam Cerino, proprietor of a physical | culture gymnasium here, who says | that he won $3,000 in the pool and | was never paid, has turned over his facts to the federal authorities, he stated today, and will prosecute the heads of the lottery if they can be found. Polancer and a man from Hartford, according to the attorney, refused to settle the claim of the | physical instructor and claimed that | the ticket he held was a counterfeit. | Eftorts to locate Polancer her | failed. He disappeared from | his home on Williow street several | | | days ago and neighbors are unable to give any information about his whereabouts. Complete Exposure. | Complete exposure of the gigan- | selling ring, believed to | have its headquarter in Waterbury, is thought imminent today, as a re- | sult of secret investigation carried on during the past few weeks by federal officials. Meanwhile operators of at six other lotteries in conducted sales guardedly today ' and refused tickets to unrecognized applicants, Tickets to the “old re- liable treasury balance” the “poli- cy” and the “square deal” lotteries, along with others known only by word of mouth, were obtainable here in a few stores making a spe- cialty of gambling tickets, TILSON CONDEMNS FARM RELIEF BILL Declares It Unconstitutional and| Like Sovietism ‘Washington, Feb. 17 (P—I.egisla- tion such as proposed in - the Me- Nary-Haugen farm relief bill leads in the di tion of Sovietism and en- actment of the measure would be a long stride toward that condition, Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut ,the republican leader, declarcd in the house today. “It means,” he said, “that a par- | ty, ticular class of our people acting through representatives of their own | choosing, are to be clothed with tremendous powers over the very means ot life itself affecting vitally the lives and frotunes of the whole people. “I cannot bring myself to belicve that the courts will ever sustain such legislation.” ( The house leader attacked princi- pally the sections of the bill provid- | ing for selection of a farm hoard by the president from a list of previ- ously nominated individuals, he contended, “ight to select agents of the govern- | ment without interference except | vith the advice and consent of the | enate The selection method, he declar is “utterly vicious if not reso- | utely unconstitutional” and cited cgal opinions and court decisio; in attempt to show that the consti- | tution never contemplated such a digression, 1 Tilson charged that if farm relief | legislation fails at this scssion, | “those who have so persistently in- | sisted upon one particular bill or nothing at all, will not be free from blame for the result.” “I do not believe,” he declared. | “the bill to be a solution of the farm | relief problem at all. T believe not only that it would not work well, | but that the attempt to work it would make matters infinitely worse I believe that in the long run the one who would suffer most from such a law would be the farmer | himself. “As I try to visuali probably happen in case it were at- tempted to put such a law into operation, I can sce the delicate mechanism of trade and commerce thrown out of its normal adjustment into helpless confusion. Instead of prices being regulated hy the law of supply and demand they will be | determined by the edict of the Loard.” what would Sussex County.

Window Washer Wins | ning a few rods. | flect one moment of the sport en- Award for Broken Leg Richard Fox of 176 West stree, this city, a window washer who broke his leg some time ago while | employed about his duties at the Fafnir Bearing Co. plant, has been awarded compensation of $13.75 a | week for not more than 520 weeks as long as his total disability lasts, | by Compensation Commissioner Leo J. Noonan. The Fafnir Bearing Co., under the general statutes, is held to be the | principal employer, Edward Me- Grath of 232 Hastford ;\\'enu“who contracted to wash the windows at the plant and who furnished Fox for the work, is not subject to the pro- visions of the compensation act be- cause he employs less than five men. Hence the llability of the Fatnir concern, The local firm is insured by the American Mutual Liability Insurance Co. and is also liable for the proper medical, surgical and hospital bills incurred by the claimant. Fox, while washing windows at the Fafnir factory, attempted to raise a window which was stuck. It suddenly released and shot to the top of the frame with the result that ||d Fox lost his balance and was forced | to jump, landing on the ground and | breaking his leg. Body of Man and Woman | Found in Chicago Street Chicago, Feb. 17 (P—The hodies of a young woman and a man were found in the street early today un- | der circumstances which led the | police to believe it a case of mur- der and sulcide.

Both had been shot through the head, and Rosenthal's hand clutched a pistol. 4 Rosental was married and the father of one child. According to the pollce, Miss Glick was a sister of Mrs. Rosen- thal.
