MAY HAVE TO HOLD THO CONVENTIONS Ontlawed Democrats in Texas Promise Some Trouble Dallas, Tex.. Sept. 11.—UP—With anti-8nith democrats outlawed by the excentive eommittee's action, twa sepurate state democratic con- venii ere in prospect here today s gathered to organize, pacty nominees and endorse nrtional ticket. Fotlusing the drastic action of the atats tiva committee, control- led iy v=gulars, in aummarily oust- g d-icgutes opposed to the candi- dacy of Governor Alfred E. Smith for presidant, & rump convention of the bolting element appeared certain. Moody leader Ied by Alvin 8. Moody of Houston, | the anti-Smith group caucused yes- terday, but did not announce to- day's plan of action. Out te exterminate every vestige | of opposition to the New York gov- ernor in the party, the executive committee decided contests between Smith and anti-Smith delegates from six counties in favor of the Smith cohorts and a seventh delegation, uncontested was denied seats be- cause of the political complexion of its leader. Issues Decree Then the committee proceeded with a decree that all delegates must adhere to the national ticket candidates, and any delegate failing to pronounce the party shibboleth would be reported to the convention credentials committee. Every county leader was ordered to scrutinize be- liefs of his delegates. Anti-Smith delegates from Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Palo Pinto, Wichita and Bosque counties found the door closed to them, as did also the uncontested delegation from Erath county, barred because of the opposition of its leader, T. Mitchell, to Governor Smith’'s candidacy. Bolters were removed from with- in the executive committee’s ranks as far as possible when Mrs. J. Y. Webb of Dallas, holding a Denton county proxy, was ejected. The com- mittee was, however, without power to expel Benton McMillan of Zavalla county, a 8mith opponent, who re- fused to resign. Loyal to Party 8till loyal to his party, McMillan ks announced that while he could not 3 vote for 8mith, he would not vote for Hoover. “I have never voted for a republican and never will,” he said. Governor Dan Moody's speech, ac- cepting rcnomination, was awaited eagerly today. The governor has been an outspoken prohibitionist. Before the democratic national con- ventfon ut Houston he pledged the Texas delegation not to vote for the i the work as soon as the frost arrives, becaus his work as a truck farmer would come to an end. “The town gang (rc-d workers) will not be al- lowed to work without supervision under my administratica, because 1 expect to drop in on them unexpect- edly at regular intervals” he sald. He expressed satisfaction at the selection of John Carbo as second selectman and seconded the nom- ination of Mr. Carbo who a few min- utes previous had run against him for first selectman. He feit Mr. Carbo's wide experience as a road builder would be of great value to the town. C. Fred Johnson, who was not a candidate for reelection, was the gecond selectman during the last administration. The only other change in the ticket was left vacant by the resig- r.ation of 8. Chase Coale. Mrs. Dem- ing was nominated for the place by Mrs. William Scott of Worthington ridge. American Legion hall was also crowded by democratic voters. After Joseph Carbo and Frank Pierpont received an equal number of votes, a second ballot was called and six votes separated the two candidates. Seven votes separated the total re- ceived by William Cole and John Lewis in the race for constable. The democrats did not name three grand jurors. leaders argue that this procedure is unnecessary since there are a judge and an assistant judge in the town. Wooden Leg Causes Man to Be Caught Haddam, Conn., Sept. 11 (UP)— His wooden leg too conspicuous & mark of identification, Orrin Fre- dette, 18, of Pawtucket, R. I, was back in Haddam jail today after a day and night of freedom. Fredette, who escaped early Sun- day with Harold Jackson, a New Rochelle, N. Y., negro, Wwas recog- nized by a Westerly, R. I., police of- ficer who saw him limping along the highway into Rhode Island yester- day. The youth confessed his identity and said he had spent Sunday night with Jackson at the latter's home in New Rochelle, He had hitch-hiked his way thus far on his way to Pawtucket, he said. An immediate request to New Rochelle police that they apprehend Jackson revealed he had left home. In addition to the charge of rob- bing an Old Saybrook store for which Fredette awaited trial before his escape, he now faces the addi- tional charge of attempting to break jail. 20 Barns Burned by Lightning in N. Y least twenty barns, all filled with hay and grain, and located in vari- ous parts of Jefferson county, were | burned by lightning during a terri- | fic electrical storm last night.

The resolution was presented by Premier Augustine Waldemaras of Lithu- ania. Rejects Proposal The assembly rejected the pro- posal on the grounds that the Kel- logg-Briand pact was not yet in force and that delegations were not empowered to discuss it at present. Premier Waldema! was author- ized to reintroduce his proposal at the next assembly. In an address couched in concili- atory and exp'anatory terms, Lord Cushendun, aciing foreign minister of Great Britain, told che assembly that the Kellagg pact was sure to have importamt, if not spectacular results. He sald the new generation would be reared with the idea that war was a national disasted and that armaments were necessary only for defense, Those whose work had made the Kellogg pact possible, were worthy of being included among the histor- ic benefactors of humanity, in Lord Cushendun's opinion. Reviews Work Reviewing the work of the league for the past year, the British states- man observed that no topic had re- ceived more frequent mention than disarmament. He said he could un- derstand and sympathize with the disappointment of Hcrmann Mueller chancellor of Germany, over the slow progress. But the difficulties met by the preparatory commission on disarmament have not been fully appreciated. He explained the dif- ficulty of reconciling conflicting na- tional views. Lord Cushendun emphasized that an agreement between two states would not always be acceptable to the third, four or fifth. Therefore it might be necessary to modify pro- posals or, possibly, make a fresh start. In this statement he was thought 'to be referring to the Fran- co-British naval accord. He said a very measural agreement had been reached and it would be a great mistake for the world to as- sume that no progress had been made, or to despair of a satisfac- tory outcome. Hypnotized Students Pass Examinations Glasgow, Scotland, Sept. 11 (UP) —How a group of Cambridge stu- dents was hypnotized before exam- inations and how all but one pased the examinations was related to the British Association for Advancement of Science by Dr. D, M. Buchanan, young Cambridge scientist. “We hypnotized them as deeply as possible and treaed them twice a week for two or three months. Then we told them they would be able to do anything they wanted to more easily, accurately and quickly than ever before. With one excep- tion all passed,” Buchanan said. He concluded saying that a hyp- notized person does not do things against his better nature, such as kill someone, and that no one can be hypnotized against his will, Elizabeth Oakes Engaged To Sidney Colford, Jr. Newport, R, I, Sept. 11 (UP)— Mr. and Mrs. Francis J.

Wittensellner, aged 22, of Windsor, in speeding and cutting in and out of the line of traf- fic on West Main street S8unday aft- ernoon, according to the finding of Judge M. D. Baxe in police court to- day. Motorcycle Officer Louis E. Harper testified that the young man was driving towards Plainville at the rate of 40 to ¢5 miles an hour when arrested, and Wittenzellner, after pleading guilty to the charge of reckless driving, said it was neces- sary for him to risk his safety and that of others on account of his mis- sion. Prosecuting Attorney Woods told him he might have injured him- self and others, and Judge Saxe fined him $25 and costs. Martin Rosal, aged 28, of 24 Al- len street, pleaded guilty to the charge of specding and was fined $10 and costs. Motorcycle Officer David Doty testified that he followed a light delivery truck operated by Ros- al through Washingt . street and Farmington avenue from Broad to Allen streets during the noon hour yesterday, and clocked him doing between 35 and 40 miles an hour, without regard for intersecting high- ways. Rosal had nothing to say. Youth of 17 Fined $100 Chester Janik, aged 17, of 184 Stephen street, Bristol, was fined $100 and costs and given a suspend- ed jail sentence of 60 days on the charge of driving while his license was under suspension, on recom- mendation of Prosecuting Attorney Woods, Attorney Lawrence J. Gol- on asked that Janik be placed on probation to pay the fine but Proba- tion Officer Connolly called the at- Dancing will | tention of the court to the fact that the young man is alrecady on proba- Windsor Man Fied $35 in Gourt tion to pay another fine. Judge Saxe sald the oftense was aerious and he did not believe the young man was deserving of the consideration re- quested. After court, however, he notified Attorney Golon that he would allow 60 days for payment of the fine and costs. Motorcycle Offi- cer Harper made the arrest on North Burritt street about two o'clock this morning. Benny Zablocki, aged 37, of 280 High street, charged with violation of probation, was warned by Judge Saxe that he will go to jail if he does not respect the terms of pro- bation. The case was continued for two weeks to give him a last chance. The case of Carl Nelson, aged 35, of 43 Black Rock avenue, charged with non-support, was continued un- til Bept. 30, and the case of William Karbonic, aged ¢5, of Farmington avenue, charged with non-support, was continued until Sept. 18 on re- quest of Attorney Thomas F. Mc- Donough, his counsel. Finod for Assaulting Boy William May, aged 27, of 40 Dewey street, charged with assault- ing a 7 year old boy, was fined $10 and costs, execution of the penalty suspended. Officer W. J. McCarthy testified that he made the arrest on complaint, and Patrick J. O'Mara, aged 13, of Edst Main street, testi- fied that May slapped the boy. knocking him down, and then kick- ed him and caused him to fall over a pipe that was concealed by a hedge. May testified that the trouble, which occurred last Sunday evening about 8 o'clock, was caused by the boy, who thumbed his nose behind May's back after May had warned him and O'Mara against “talking wise” in front of Koplowitz's store on Dewey street. May admitted that he slapped the boy, mussing his ‘hair, but he did not kick him. The boy man away after being slapped and stumbled over the pipe fully 15 feet away, according to May. Prosccuting Altarney Woods told May he had no right to take it upon himself to correct the boys, That is the function of the police depart- ment, he #aid. Judge Saxe was in- clined to consider the incident of minor seriousness, telling May he should not have lost control of him- self over the actions of “a kid,” who apparently was not old enough to czuse anyone enough t to men tion. The hoy was not to the witness stand, but after court he de- nied May's testimony about thumb- ing his nose, and his parents said he had a cut on his side resulting from his fal! over the pipe. SCHOONER BEING TOWED TO BOSTON Three Masted Lamberer Lincoln Coming Into Port Boston, Sept. 11 (UP)—The three-masted lumber schooner Lin- coln, reported in distress following a collision with the Boston col%r Sewall's Point six miles south- southeast of Cape Cod last night, to- day was en route to Boston in tow. Radio advices received at the Charlestown navy yard this morning stated that the coast guard cutters Burrows and Active had taken the pLincoln in tow ,and it was pre. sumed that the cutters were pro- ceeding to Boston. Indications were that none of the Lincoln’s crew had been injured and that’ the schooner, while badly damaged, was in no danger of sink- ing. The collier, en route from Balti- more to Boston with a cargo of coal, craft, operated Ly the Mystic Steam- ship company. This company alse owns the steamer McKenmey, which recently lost 14 members of its crew in a Pacific storm. The Lincoin's home port is New York, the achooner having beem used in coastwise trade between that city and St. John, N. B. Suicide Fights Off Would-Be Rescuers Middietown, Sept. 11.—(UM—1In an attempt to commit suicide iast night a man gave his name to police only as Sullivan, fought off two attempts by rescuers to save him after he jumped from a river steamer just as it docked here. When he ignored a life preserver throwh to him seve eral men put out in a tug but he re. fused to leave the water. A policeman and a civilian then went out in a boat and dragged him into it in an exhausted condition. He was arrested charged with breach of the peace. The steamer was on its way from Hartford to New York. Bebe Daniels Denies Will Marry Hitchcock New York, Sept. 11 (UP)—Bebe Daniels, motion picture actress, de. aicd’ today stories that she was en. gaged to marry Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., international polo star. “There is absolutely no truth te the ‘rumors,” she said. “We are friends but nothing more than that and I resent the use of my name without my consent.” was reported to have escaped ser- ious damage and its crew of 35 men were all accounted for. Immediately after the collision. the cause of which has not been determined, it was feared that the Lincoln, leaking badly, might go down. Subsequent investigatign showed that the schooner, while seriously damaged, probably would remain afloat. Five coast guard boats and two steamers answered the schooner's distress calls. The Burrows and Ac- tive succeeded a few hours later in getting lines aboard and took the crippled craft in tow.
