Ktiempted on Cathole Road STATE POLICE NOTIFIED Senator Walcott to Speak at Ber- lin Grange Hall Tomorrow Eve- ning—Miss Lyman Speaks in New Britain—Grange Activities, Police circles were again stirred into activity last evening about 9 o'clock when the Meriden police re- ceived a report that an unsuccessful holdup by three would-be bandits had been attempted on the Cathole road in Kensington, Only jast week two robberies occurred on the road, making the sixth time in (wo months that bandits had visited the road. Sergeant Schuerer of the Merl- den police received a telephone call from a motorist who stated that three bandits had attempted to stop his automobile on the Cathole road near the Greenbacker farm. The motorist, who failed to give the sergeant his name, said that he was driving along the road when a member of the trio, holding a re- volver, stepped into the middle of the highway to stop his car. No- ticing a car parked on the side of the road with two other men near it and sensing that a holdup was be- ing attempted, the motorist increas- ed the speed of his automobile and raced by the bandits. The lights on the parked car were out, according to the motorist. The Meriden police immediately relayed a report of the atiempted holdup to the state police at Hart- ford and to the New Britain and Berlin authorities. At the same time, Officer McMahon was sent to the road to investigate. All the police authorities notified by the Meriden department responded to the call and a thorough search was made of the road. The investigation proved fruitiess and failed to produce a clue, Cathole road. known as the fav- orite tramping grounds of spooners, has been the favorite place of ban- dits during the last year. After l‘hP holdups last week, the police receiv- ed descriptions of the gunmen and found the car used by the holdup men. Later it was discovered that the car had been stolen in Meriden. Speaks in New Britam At the opening fall meeting of the Social Workers' club of New Britain held at the Center street headquarters last evening, Miss Eu- nice Lyman, 787 year ol resident .of Kensington, adareased the club on the subject “Thrills of a Tong Life.” DPossessing a vivid memory of her many experiences, Miss Ly- man held the attention of her lis- teners. She told the club of days spent in South. Africa during the Boer war, contrasted present day ttitudes with those of earlier dayn and told some interesting accounts of the time when she taught school in Topeka, Kansas. Among those who were her pu- pils at that time was Charles Curtis, now republican candldate for vice president. Miss Lyman recently re- ceived a preat deal of attention as a result of this fact and when some of her other pupils read accounts of her receipt of a letter and honors from Senator Curtis. she received letters from many others scattered i all parts of the world, she sald » last evening.

The rally s being con- ducted under the auspices of the Republican Women's club of Berlin who have worked hard during the past week to make the affair the greatest political event ever held in Berlin, The club was very fortunate in se- curing Senator Walcott to accept its invitation to speak here and all the people in town who are interested are invited and urged to come. Senator Walcott has been honored and praised by Herbert Hoover. Only yesterday he received a cablegram from Ignace Paderewski, great statesman, congratulating him upon his recent success and again ; thanking him for the relief which he brought to the Polish people dur- ing the war while wotking under Herbert Hoover on te food commis- sion. He has had numerous experi cnces in the political ficld and in government work. The club expects the republican voters to welcome Senator Walcott by turning out in large numbers. Bongs will be sung by a sextette of (‘hllh members and food will be on sale. East Berlin ltems The Community club meeting last evening was well attended. A membership contest was planned, the campaign to be conducted under two team caplains, Max Sugenhime and Mrs. Krank Cobey. The con- test will run for several months and the losing sidc must give an enter- tainment and banquet to the win- ners.

The removal of gate tenders at the Wesi Main street and Broad | street railroad crossings and their replacement by electric flashlight highway signals has been asked by the New Haven railroad, the select- men have been informed, and the public utilities commission will hold a hearing on the matter next Wed- nesday morning. This action of the railroad is the result of the virtual cessation of train service on the “Canal Line” from New Haven to Northampton and the substitution of motor conches. It is planned to eliminate gate tenders all along the line, and officers of all the towns affected have been notificd to be present at the coming hearing. ' The employment of a gate tender at Broad strect was begun on June 1. 1903, the petition to the public utllities commission states, and the man is on duty from 6 a. m., to 6 p. m., daily except Sundays. A tender was placed at the West Main street crossing on September 26, 1599, and his hours of duty were fixed ut 6 a. m., to 10 p. m., dally, including Sunday, but the Sunday service was discontinued on April 10, 1919, The railroad expresses its desire to install electric flashlight high- way crossing signals of a type al- ready approved by the public utili- ties commission. All train service except one daily trip of a local freight has been taken off this line, the petition explains, and it feels flash signals would be adequate. It plans to stop all trains on the line and flag them over the crossing. The hearing will be held in the commission's room, No. 41 at the State Capltol, at 11:15 o'clock Wed- nesday morning. First Selectman { James Simpsor will attend. Cars are switched across the West Main street crossing at frequent in- tervals during the day, but only a‘ few cross the Broad street one. It is thought that these, like the daily freight, will be flagged over. The heavy freight trains on the Canal Line have recently been take noff because they are too heavy for some of the bridges. They have been re- routed around through New Britain, and only the local freight now comes up from New Haven through Plain- ville, The proposed changes would re- late only to the two crossings men- |tioned. The East Main and FEast street crossovers, which are travers- cd by the main Waterbury-Hartford line, would not be affected. Sherman Heads Assessors Charles R. Sherman was clected chairman of the board of assessors at its first meeting last night. Mr. Sherman, who Is connected with the Plainvifle Electrical Products Co., had never held public office here un- til he was elected Monday to serve the remalning two years of Robert J. Coe's term as assessor. The other |members of the bhoard are Axel Johnson and Stanley M. Smith, last year's chairman. ; The board acquainted itself with its duties and adjourned. This year the assessors will recelve the assist- ance of a paid expert, W. A. Bailey, who has been instructed by the re- valuation company and will have charge of the permanent property | records. Tegion to Hold Rallics Rrock-Barnes post., American Leglon, has voted to hold two rallies to stimulate voting and to follow out {the Legion's custom of seeking to bring out all voters.

Whie the American Legion does not enter into politics, it does believe that it is the duty of every eligible voter to cast his ballot, and the local post, in secking to bring out the electors, is following the prece- dent which it set four years ago. Selectmen Appoint Threo David Kauffman was reappointed special officer last night at the first meeting of the new board of select- men. Officer Kauffman, who has al- ready served for two years, will again do traffic duty at Brbad and Whiting streets during the hours when children are on their way to or from school. The selectmen also appointed Myron Rogers and William 8. Eaton as members of the committee in charge of the Strong fund, a fund for assisting the needy. Legion Barbecue Brock-Barnes post, Americdn Le- glon, will entertain more than 50 members of the Branford post Sat- urday afternoon at a barbecue to be held at a nearby grove. the exact location of which has not yet been revéaled by Commander Theodore Fanion, chairmaa of the committer on arrangements. In a dual contest this vear for the largest number of members, Rranford defeated Plain- ville by raising its membership to 120, which was ten better than the local post's mark. This is no dis- credit to Plainville, as the T3ranford post has a la'ger territory from which to draw. If Plainville had won it was to be given a clambake. All members of the local post are requested to be present at the post rooms promptly at 2 o'clock Satur- day. In case of rain the barbecue will be postponed until the following Saturda; Castle Stores Opening The formal opening of the enlarg- ed Castle Stores, Inc., will take place tomorrow.

To suspend jor at least postpone the tragedy, Captain Guckin ordercd the locked up for the night. His sen- | tence in police court this morning | by Judge Joseph M. Donovan, upon Attorncy Janies T. Mather, was the outcome. Suhowski's record in local police circles is not an enviable one, On August 8, 1926, he was fined $25 and costs for drunkenness and breach of the peace; March 27, 1927 he was given a suspended jail sen- tenee of three months for assault and breach of the peace; on April 3. 1927, he was sentenced to 60 in jall for drunkenness and breach of the peace; and on April 8, 1928, and September 1. 1928, charges of assault and breach of the peace were nolled on payment of costs, In presenting the case to the {court this morning, Prosccuting At- itorney Mather poinie out that in his opinion Buhowski was on the border line between sanity and in- [sanity. The tragedy of last Tues- day apparently impressed itself on Suhowski's mind to such an ex- tent that he had actually consid- ered taking the lives of his wife and children, according to Mr. Mather. Suhowskl expressed no surprise at the sentemce of the court and ex- |pressed hifs willingness to submit to the examination by alienists, Sccond Case Since Tragedy Aecording to Mr. Mather, the case this morning is the second of its nature which has been called to his attention since the double murder and sulcide last Tuesday. Last eve- ning a woman visited his home and asked that her husband be taken into custody because he had threat- ened to kill both her and their young child.

Opluion on Voting Privileges Due to the many questions arising as to who is emtitied to vote at the national election on Tuesday, No- vember 6, Corporation Counsel Wil- llam N. DeRosier has filed the fol- lowing opinion with City Clerk Thomas B. Steele and a copy has been mailed to the registrars of voters in cach voting district: 1. Can an elector retain his vot- g privilege in Bristol, if he has had a residence in another town for more than six months or in another stute for more than one year, but has not been made an clector in that town or state?” The answer is “No." “2. If his name has been retained on the voling list i I'ristol during the period of absence, does that af- s eligibility 2" right of a person to vote whose name hud been r-tained on the voting list although he had Dbeen residing in another town for more than six months, can be suc- cessfully challenged. 1f a person hus been made an elector in Bristol, and later has been made an clector in another town, must he again be made an elector before voting in Bristol, or have the. registrars the authority to replace his name on the voting list?" I know of no provision of law which authorizes registrars to re- place on the voting list the name ot an elector who was formerly an elector in Bristol. then removed to another town establishing a resi- dence therein, and then subsequantly returned to Bristol. In my opinion it 18 necessary for such a person again to be made an elector in Bristol be- fore he can vote here. I under- stand that thie has not been the practice followed by registrars in the past. J “4. Where, if at all, must a person be made an elector if he has been a resident of another town for about & year and has returned to Bristol within the last three weeks?" The answer to this question s to be found in Section 10 of Chapter 305 of the 1921 Public Acts, which provides: “Every person who has been ad- mitted and registered as an elector in any town, and who has removed to another town in this state, shall retain his right to vote in state and national elections in the town from which he removed for a period of one day less than six months from {the date of such removal, and during such period he shall have a residence in the town to which he has removed for the purpose of becoming admit- ted to the privileges of an elector therein. “ 'This provision applies only to versons who are already electors and docs not cover the case of those who have not been made electors in any town.” Health Officer Stlent “I am perfectly satistied with the verdict of the city council,” was the only response which Dr. B. B..Rob- bins, city health officer, would make in connection with the statement of Councilman Homer H. Judd in Wed- nesday’s Herald that the health offi- cer had agitated the vaccination of vesidents of the city during the #mallpox epidemic of last winter for his own personal gain. Mr. Judd yesterday denounced the city eouncit for passing for payments bills pre. mented by Dr. Robbins during his (Judd's) absence from the Tuesday night meeting. Mr. Judd, in commenting on the health officer's brief statement, said that he was disappointed as he had a number of other facts in connec- tion with the health department which he felt should be brought: to the public's attention. The attitude of Dr. Robbins, however, made such octlon unnecessary, according to Mr. Judd. although it is probable that a further discussion will result when the council holds its next meeting.
