JUDGE SAE FACES BIG COURT DOCKET Unusually Heavy Galendar Dis- posed of as Week Closes Family trouble, a street fight and alelged violation of the motor ve- hicle laws were aired before Judge M. D. Saxe this morning,in police court. Prosecuting Attorney J. G. ‘Woods presented the state's cases. John Mulvihill, aged 31, of T4 Church street, pleaded not guilty to the charge of breach of the peace. Bupernumerary Officer Loviner Johnson testified that he arrested Mulvihill at 11:50 last night for arousing the neighborhood near 394 Park street. Persons living at that address said Mulvihill rang the door bell and tried to gain entrance. Officer Johnson said Mulvihill showed signs of having been drink- ing but not sufficient to be charged with intoxication. Mulvihill in his own defense testi- fled that his home is in Milford and he came to New Britain about four months ago to work in a factory. He was drinking last night “in a certain place” and gave a stranger $5 to buy more liquor. The stranger did not return and Mulvihill went looking for him. Thinking he had turned in at 394 Park street he tried to locate him and in so doing arouscd the neigh- borhood. He said he had never been arrested before. Jndge Saxe impos- ed a fine of $5 vithout costs. The case of Anthony Barnowski, aged 22 years, of 371 Broad street, charged with reckless driving, was continued until August 26, as Baro- nowski 18 in bed with injuries sus- tained in an automobile collision on Plainville road last Monday night. Otto Kent of 134 Columbia street, was fined $10 and costs for drunken- ness and breach of the peace and was warned by Judge Saxe that he is in danger of being sent to jail if he continues drinking. He was ar- rested at his home yesterday after- noon on complaint of his wife by Ofticers Strolls and Liebler. Officer Strolls testified that Kent was shouting and otherwise disturb- ing the peace and had done damage in the cellar. Kent said he has been working at night for 20 years and feels the need of liquor. Yesterday he drank too much and became unruly as a re- sult. He admitted having been warned to discontinue drinking, on a previous arraignment in court. Rudolph Hanson, aged 27, of 450 Main street, was fined $5 and costs for breach of the peace and assault- ing Valdemar Rydquist of 402 Church street and the later was fined $10 and costs for his part in a fight at the corner of Main and Church streets about 2 o'clock this morning. Officer William Grabeck made the arrest. Rydquist accused Hanson of annoying him for two weeks with- out reason. Last night he struck Rydquist and the latter retaliated. Rydquist admitted having been ar- rested before, while Hanson had never been before a court. Iver Erickson, aged of 111 Lawlor street was advised by Judge Saxe to stop drinking. Mrs. Erick- #on testified that her husband is a model man when sober but very abusive and disagreeable when drinking. Last night he was under the in- fluence of liquor and threw him- self on the bed in such a way as to hurt a small child who was sleoping with the mother. The latter pushed him over and he became angry and pushed her out of bed and kicked her. 8he struck back and ran screaming to her mother, who lives in the sec- ond floor tenement. Police head- quarters was notified by telephone and Officer Hellberg and Super numerary Officer Lovines Johnson arrested Erickson for breach of the peace and assault. Officer Johnson testified that al- though Erickson had been drinking he was not sufficiently under the influence to be so charged. Erickson testified that he had a few drinks with his landlord ana being tired he lay down on the bed. He knew he was near the child, who is under care of a phy- siclan, but he was not hurting him. He denied kicking his wife. He would not have pushed her had ghe not struck him and pushed him out of bed. He admitted having been arrested once before and he also sald he was aware that liquor made him ugly. Judge Saxe sus- pended judgment and warned him against coming before the court again. Peter Netopski, of Seymour s(rrcl) who was fined $10 and costs yester- day morning for his part in a drunken brawl, was fined $10 and costs for breach of the peace and| drunkenness and warned by Judge Saxe that he may expect to be sent to jail unless he leaves liquor alone. Officer Hayes testified that Ne- topski's wife complained . to him about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and he went to Netopski's home and arrested him. A coffee pot was on the floor and there were other indi- cations of a melee. Netopski was intoxicated, the officer testified. Netopski testified that his wife and another couple were drinking and induced him to join them. He did not want to drink as he realized that liquor made him “crazy” and had resulted in his ar- raignment in court yesterday. How- ever, his wife told him to forget about that case and he did to the ‘extent of two drinks. The upset con- dition of the tenement was the re- sult of dancing by his wife and the other couple. Everett M. Williams aged 24, «f 1008 Corbin avenue, pleaded nct guilty to the charge of speeding on Stanley street. Motoreycle Officer ‘William O'Day testified that he fol- lowed Williams from the junction of Hartford avenue and Stanley street to the Paragon on West Hartford road at 10:45 last night. Willlams passed several au.omo- biles and did not reduce his speed at the Allen and Francis streets in- tersections of Stanley street. From Hartford avenue to No. 7 fire station Willlams drove at the rate of 40 miles an hour and when overtaken he was going 45 miles an hour, ac- cording to the ofticer. Willlams said the officer’s testimony was true but there was light traffic on the road. Judge Saxe said there is nothing in the new motor vehicle laws giv- ing motorists the right to speed any more than there was in the former laws. His understanding of the law is that fast driving is permissible only when there is absolutely no danger. He imposed a fine of $15 and costs. The case of John Baker, aged 51, of 490 East Main street, charged with operating an automobile while under influence of liquor, was con- tinued until August 25 under $300 bonds on request of Judge William F. Mangan. Officer A. C. Walinczus arrested Baker on South Main street yesterday afternoon. WORLD-WIDE MOVE T0 DEFEND SAGGO (Continued From First Page) legal history,” the Tageblatt. The Vossische Zeitung urges that the men be pardoned, declaring that their guilt has not been proven con- clusively. says Berliner New York Mobilizes New York, Aug. 20 (R —New York's entire force of 14,006 police- men, ordered out when word reach- ed here of the Massachusetts snu- preme court's decision adverse to Sacco and Vanzetti, were back on emergency duty today for their vigil against possible disorder. All subway and elevated stations, public and semi-public buildings, all bridges over the Last river, resi- dences of officials and prominent persons, were again under heavy guard. The precautions are similar to those taken last week following !way stations. Special police arrangements are being made for the demonstration called by the communist Sacco-Van- zetti emergency™ committee in Un- ion square Monday afternoon. More than 1,000 police, it is planned, will be at the scene and 1,000 in reserve in the neighborhood. A gathering of 50,000 people is predicted by the leaders of the committee. “Mother” Bloor Pleads Washington, Aug. 20 (®—While police stenographers took careful notes, “Mother” Bloor, 63, profes- sed radical, last night urged the cause of Sacco and Vanzetti here be- fore an audience of 300 including Inumerous policemen and plain clothes detectives. Four uniformed policemen stood outside with twice that number within the hall, while secret scrvice men were ‘“planted” among the spectators. Again Asks Publicity The citizens national committee for Sacco and Vanzetti today sent another long telegram to Secretary of State Irank B. Kellogg stressing three requests previously made. These were for the publicati files of the department leged to bear on the Sac 1se to American spapers of the review of the case given to Ar- gentine papers by ~the Amebican embassy, and for Mr. Kellogg to recommend to President Coolidge that he stay the exccutions pending a presidential inquiry The committee charged that the review given out in Bucnos Air was written by a Massachusetts offi- | efal who assisted in convicting Sacco and Vanzetti and who later became United States district attorney here, “We respectfully ask you” the telegram read, “to take cognizance of the tide of feeling which has arisen throughout the world against America because of the belief, sin- cerely held, that America has perse- cuted and is about to send to their deaths two Italian anarchists.” England has one of the most un- usual restaurants in the world, baby aurant where a two-course dinner is served to youngsters under five.

DEMPSEY'S WIFE ILL Estelle Taylor, Stricken Suddenly in Chicago—Three Specialists Hurry to Bedside—Relapse Feared. Chicago, Aug. 20 (P—Three spe- clallsts have been called into con- sultation by Estelle Taylor, wifc of Jack Dempsey, after a somewhat serious turn in her condition, it was learned today. The excitement attending the trip from the coast and the enthusiastic reception here was reported to have led the screen actress to fear a relapse. Dempsey yesterday cancelled all i his engagements so he could be with his wife until she is resting easier, and although her condition is not regarded as alarming he is devoting all his time to making her more comfortable. Dempsey said he thought that if everything moved alonz as it is now she would be all right in a few weeks, His friends, however, ex- pressed fears that he would worry too greatly and this perhaps would affect his chances to be at Gene Tunney when they meet next month.

STATE'S ENGINEER | ANSWERS QUIGLEY | | (Continued From First Page) Connecticut ri is to correct certain questions of fac Mr. Quigley explains that as long as | factories continue to discharge their {acild wastes into the sewers mo lmethod depending on bacterial puri- {fication can be successfully emplo; .ed. Generally speaking, this asser- ition is correct. Undoubtedly it was | the metallurgical waste liquors which cause the sand filtration beds ito become inoperative. “The experimental work of inves- {tigation carried out by the indus- !trial wastes board appears to war- | irant this conclusion. “Mr. Quigley however, overlooked | the fact that during the past several | vears, the great bulk of industrial waste_arising from the factories of New Britain have been removed | from the sewers, as a result the {sewage as it now reaches the di | posal area is no longer acid in r ction. There is no reason at this| time why any of the standard | {methods of treatment cannot be| { used with entire success. | | “Mr. Quigley is reported as hav- ing said that he is not opposed to | the treating of New Britain's sew- age before it is discharged into the | istate waters but that he is opposed | |to wasting the city’s money in the | | construction of a disposal plant which will be unable to accomplish [the result sought. It seems quite | probable therefore, that if his atten- {tion is fnvited to the changed con- ditions over those of ten years ago, {he will not only not oppose the dis- ! , charge by New Britain of its duty ! to the rest of the state but will ac-| jtively support a program which is endorsed by all those having the I best interests of the community at heart. “It seems possible in Mr. Quigley's campaign against sewage treatment ,may have serious consequences on | carrying the project to completion. | The state water commissioner’s ! recommendation made over a year | {ago was to the effect that an en- i gineering survey should be under- i taken by the y, for the purpose | of securing necessary data as to | volume of sewage to be treated, the { determining of the type of plant to ! | best meet the city's needs and the cost of installation. Due to yvour| interest fn the problem, a sum of | ,money was made available to carry ! | ou this survey. “Most of the work has been com- ‘ pleted and the essentlal data now in | 'hand. Tt would appear that if the | city will now call into consultation | an engineering specialist in such matters all the necessary prelimin- | ary work could be finished in the near future, Including an accurate | cost estimate. Such a procedure | would effectually dispose of such arguments as are advanced by crit- ics and would likewise settle the | question of cost of the undertaking. | “This matter has been gone into at some length and for the express | | purpose of inviting your attention to what appears to be the advisability of pressing to as speedy a conclu- sion as possible, the survey begun last summer. “Very truly, yours, “S.
