CITY INSURANCE REACHES CRISIS Departments May Not Approve of Gommittee's Recommendation | Recommendations of the common council’s special committee on fire insurange coverage on municipal properties will come before the de- partments affected this week with a strong likelihood of unfavorable ac- tion in many instances. The report contains 23 separate recommendations to boards, the most important of which is the sug- gestion that insurance on school properties be distributed on a more equitable basis. Such a proposal having alrefdy gone down to defeat at the hands of the board, it is fore- cast that no changes will be made at this time. However, the commit- tee will be in session Wednesday afternoon with two members absent DENEES EVASION AFTER COLLISION State Witness Corroborates Ex- planation and Saves Driver Testimony of a state’s witness, Edward Norkie, of 439 Stanley street, in police court this morning, that James Walsh, aged 41, of 65 Monroe street, had returned to the scene of a collision in front of prop- erty known as 118 Rockwell avenue about 4:40 Saturday morning, saved Walsh from conviction on the charge of evading responsibility, Judge D. Saxe sald. He sus- pended judgment but remarked that |the case was very close and he re- minded Walsh that the law demands that automobile drivers stop and make known their identity in cases o fthis nature if they would escape punishment in court. Walsh represented by Judge W. F. Mangan pleaded not guilty, and said he was driving his automobile on Rockwell avenue when it struck a milk delivery team owned by the for a few seconds he drove away fonly to return after leaving his car in the rear of his home. He be- came excited after the collision, he said, otherwise he would have re- mained longer on the scene. | Sergeant John C. Stadler testified that he was detailed to investigite the accident and went to .Valsh's home but he was not there. He re- \quested that a warrant for Walsh's jarrest be issued. Saturday after- noon Walsh telephoned to Captain Kelly and learned that he was wanted, whereupon he reported at the police station with a bondsman. Ernest Hall of Kensington testi- ;llcfl that he had charge of the milk [team and Walsh continued on his |way after striking the shafts and |damaging them. Norkie, however, lsaid he saw Walsh return between five and ten minutcs after the col- |lision. Walsh said the police maust United Milk Co., but after stopping | Saxe told him there was absolutely no justification for driving at a rate of speed to even approximate that testified to by Sergeant Feeney. Some time there might be serious results from taking chances in this man- ner. Wife Finds Other Woman’s -Photo Stanley Kripaitus, aged 36 of 189 Hartford avenue, pleaded not guilty to the charge of assaulting his wife. H: was represented by Attorney Thomas J. Cabelus. Officers Walter Malona and Wil- liam P. Hayes testified that they ar- rested Kripaitus yesterday afternoon I shortly after 3 o'clock after having been to the home half an hour earlier and seen Mrs. Kripaitus with black and blue marks on her arm. | Kripaitus was not at home then but (returned in ap intoxicated condi- | tion, according to the testimony. :. While Officer Malona was testify- iins, Attorney Cabelus objected to | the questions.asked by Prosecuting | Attorney Woods. “I'm not going to | ask you how to put on my case, I'll | tel you that,” Mr. Woods said to the defense attorney. “Well if you did you would be bet- ter off,” Attorney Cabelus replied. The hearing was interrupted long enough to summon Officer A. C. Walinznus to interpret Mrs. Kripai- tus' testimony and when it was re- sumed, the charge of drunkenness | was added, Mr. Woods saying it was | preferred at the time of the arrest but overlooked when the warrants were prepared for court. Kripaitus pleaded guilty to the charge. Mrs. Kripaitus testified that her husband appears to be concerned about strong drink to the.exclusion of everything else. He is not inter- ested in the household expenses, she said: & Cross-examined by Attorney Ca- | belus, Mrs. Kripaitus'said she had been told her husband was interest- ed in 2 woman in New Haven and she found a woman's photograph in his possession. He took it from her. Asked whether or not her husband spoke to her about having male company in the house, she replied negatively and said the trouble | started when she refused to iron his shirt because she had no time on account of being employed in a res- | taurant. A daughter of the couple testified that she saw her father holding his hand over her mother's mouth and | B mouth with a pan cover. Czaphcka testified that his wife has falled to prepare his meals. for several days. - She has been working in a factory’ for six months, but she is- mot obliged to, he said. Last night“he remonstrated with her for failing. to prepare the meals but he did not strike her, he declared. Judge Saxe continued the case for one month in charge of the proba- tion officer, sayimg he dil not wish to send the man to fail and he hoped the couple may be able to iron out their differences and keep out of court. Threatens Family With Cleaver Stanley Broff, aged 43, of 452 Stanley street, was charaCterized by his wife and son, Edward L. Broff, as a drunkard. Last nigat he chased the members of his family about the house and threatened them with a meat cleaver. Mrs. Broft testified that ever since she became acquaint- ed with her husband, 24 yeard ago, he has been a drunkard. He has never supported his family. Officer Gustave W. Helberg tes- tified that he was called in and found the house in an uproar. A few weeks ago he was called in and learned that Broff had :hreatened to shoot everyone in the house. In reply to Attorney Albert A. Greenberg, Edward L. Broff, a son of the accused man, denied that the family automobile was at the bottom of the trouble. He admitied that he broke the lock on the car a few days ago but said he was oblized to reach the bank before closing i‘me. Broft denied that he neglected his family. He also denied that he drinks heavily and drives customers away from the store as nis wife and son charged. He paid a tribute to his wife as an industrious, bard work- ing woman. Attorney Greenberg said the case struck him as one for the probation officer. Judge Saxe finel Broff $20 and costs for drunkenness and breach of the peace and put him on probation, He warned Broff that he will go to jail if he comes before the court again under similar circumstances. He should let liquor alone and at- tend to his business and his fam- fly.

She wanted him arreit« ed and when the officer took him td the police box to call.the patrel he kicked and fought. He wis intoxi« 5 cated, the officer said. Herzog denied that he-was intoxie cated and refuted Mrs. Badet's” tés« timony that he annoyed her by threatening to throw her off. the roof. . The reason he resisted arrest was that he felt he was being ar« rested for nothing. Judge Saxe warned Herzog that he will be sent to jail it he:is ar« rested again. He would not be in trouble if he did not drink, Judge Saxe said.
