AGE OF CHIVALRY “HAS RENAISSANGE Husbands Defend Wives From Annoers, Gourt Is Informed New Rritain has at least two hus- bands whese chivalrous propensi- ties are highly developed, it was shewn in police court today, when two recent melees were described before Judge M. D. Saxe. Leuis Raczkowski, aged 25, of 12 Gilbert street. who was arrested last Saturday night on charges of breach of the peace and assault and resist- ing arrest. was fined $20 and costs on the latter charge, with judgment suspended en the other count, the trouble in which he found himself having resulted from his action in rushing to the defense of his wife after @ man had insulted her and struck her in the face. Peter Swin- tik of 138 Winter street, the other chivalrous husband, testified against John Muchewicz, aged 48, of the same address, who was charged with breach of the peace and as- saulting Mrs. Swintik, and Judge Saye suspended judgment with the remark ihat the appearance of Ma- chewicz's eye, which was badly dis- colored and swollen, indicated that he had been sufficiently punished. In the Rackowski case, the arrest was made by Supernumerary Officer Henry Zajkowski about midnight Raturday and the testimony was to the effect that Raczkowski and his wife were in Mrs. William Fiedor. cayk's store at 211 Broad street drinking soda when a man whose identity was not learned insulted by winking and leering at her. She suggested to her husband that they leave the place because she objected to- the stranger's actions, and when she gave expression to her disgust, Fiedorczyk, who was in charge of the store, told her she could leave if she did net care to stay. The stran- ger slapped her across the face and éalled her a'vile name, she said, al- though Fiedorcayk testified that he did not hear that part of the af- fair. Racikowski, angered at the at- tack on his wife, went to her de- fense and Fiedorczyk joined in the fght. According to Mr. and Mrs. Racskowski, Fiedorczyk aided Racz- kowski's assailant, but according to Fiedorczyk, he was only concerned about trapsterring the fight to the street. At any rate, Officer Zajkow- ski_happened along in time to see Fiedorezyk and Raczkowski in & “kicking match,” and after separat- ing them he arrested Raczkowski, who resisted with the assistance of his wite, the latter blocking the of- ficer s0 that her husband was able to wrest the nightstick away from him. Tries to Strike Officer According to Officer Zajkowski, Racziowski attempted to strike him on the head with the stick, but cskowskl denied this, saying the . itlcor swung the stick so close to s head that he grabbed it with his ~:nd to avoid being struck with it. 3 It was, the blow grazed his head, . suid, Walter Popeller of Booth rect testified that the officer was interferrcd with by Raczkowski's wife and he saw Raczkowski secize the nightstick and raise it with in- tent to strike the officer on the rcad. Popeller claimed that he saved the officer by wrestling the stick from Raczkowski and giving i* back to the officer after the lat- ter had overpowered Raczkowski. Jtaczkowski, on the other hand, ac- cused Poppeller of having followed him when he was in custody of the ofticer and goaded the officer on to make the arrest. Attorney David L. Dunn, repre- senting Raczkowski, claimed that there was provocation for Racz- kowski's action in pummeling Vie- dorczyk, as any decent man would have acted in defense of his own wife or any woman who was insult- ed and assaulted, whether physical aggressiveness or other form was given to his retaliation. Mrs. Racz- kowski inststed on learning the identity of her assailant for the pur- pose of having him arrested, the at- torney pointed out, and when Fie- dorczyk claimed not to have known him the fracas was aggravated and the officer happened along and made the arrest. As to the resistance Attorney Dunn stressed the dis- crepency in the version stated, and Judge Saxe said he felt there might have been provocation for Racz- kowski's actions in the store. but he was not within his rights when he did not submit to arrest. Conditions would be poor. indeed. he said. if policemen engaged in the perform- ance of their duty were resisted and attacked promiscuously. swintik Defends Wife Machewicz was arrested Monday night by Supcrnumerary Officer Zocco on complaint of Swintik, who testificd that Mre Swintik < seized forctbly by the left arm by Machewicz, who tried to throw her down a fight of stairs Swintik. go- inz to his Aefense, slapped Machewicz and when the latter at tacked him.

Judge Save said he felt Machewicr should ot puniched further in view of the Saintik gave him nife's beating Trio Serested on Party Albert Meisnor of 134 Curtis strect; Emil Frater, aged 43 of 45 Hartford avcnue, and Mrs Marg Engle, aged of 25 Rooth strect, were found guilty of drunk- enness. Ofticor Louis 1. Harper tes- tihed that he arrested the trio on Broad strect about 7:15 last night after complaint had been made at police headquarters that 1wo men and a woman were making a dis turbance in a lot on Broad strect. near Clinton street. Meisner was represented by Judg: ¥ .Mangan, who said the month of August was the only period of the year that Mcisner was not cmployed He will return to work the first of next month and undoubtedly will not cause trouble for anyon: ther after. as he has resolved to avoid the company of Mrs.. Engle .with whom he has been arrested recent- ly. Judge Saxe ordered a continu- ance for one month on probation. Frater admitted that the trio had “a couple of drinks™ out of a bottle which he threw into the bushes as the officer approached. The bottle, containing liquor of a low grade, was recovered by the officer. Judge Saxe imposed a.fine of $5 and costs. In the case of Mrs Engle. who recently served a jail sentence for | vlelation of the moral code, Judge | Saxe ordered a committment to the state farm for women. | Brothers Fined for Assault | Saul Lazar, aged 27, of 415 Allen | street, and his brother, Jacob Lazar, |aged 29, of the same address. were |fined $25 and costs each for as- | saulting each other. A third brother, Thomas Lazar, was also assaulted, sustaining an injury to the back of the head and having his hand bit- [ten by Jacob. He attempted to sep- jarate the brothers .according to his |versian, but Jacob said he was | forced to defend himself against the | other two. Officer John Griffen testified that | he heard a racket as he was passing |the Allen street house about 10:30 last night, and on investigating, found a closed knife in Jacob's hand. Saul appeared in court with | head bandaged, the result of the at- | tack. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney ireenstein told Judge Saxe he | weuld charge Jacob with assault | with a deadly and dangerous wea- | pon but there was no evidence eb- {tainable that the knife was open. | Jacob accused Saul of entering his bedroom last night and demand- ing a cash settiement of a debt. He told Saul he could not pay him. For | dispute about mutual debts and Jacob said he has tried to have a legal scttlement made. At any rate, the disagreement came to a head and a bloody fight was in progress when Offfficer Griffen happened on the scene.

Se excellent were the costumes that the judges refused to make a decision on the best looking group, award- ing the Nathan Hale playgrounds the prize for having the largest number in line. Matthew Meskill was marshal of the parade and Charles Jones was flagbearer. The playgrounds lined up in the follow- ing order: Smalley park, Smith, Vance, Burritt, Nathan Hale, Willow Brook and Washington. There were about 600 children in line.

(Continued from First Page) Davis, undersecretary of state in the Wilson cabinet, He was expected at the capitol later in the day to “‘meet and greet” many of his friends and political assoctates here for this levening's event. The gaily decorated downtown section close by the capitol grounds took on a dismal appearance this afternoon as the rain thoroughly soaked the flags and bunting and sent crowds scurrying into hotel lob- bies. State troopers to the number of 300, here to cooperate with Al- bany police in preserving order, went about in natty black slickers, hawkers fell back into doorways to sell their “Al Smith brown derbies” and “Smith-Robinson” badges and buttons.
