Whether the letter sent by Day to Paonessa will result in the two offi- cials appearing ‘on the same plat- form for verbal battle is a question since the school committeeman does uot ‘accept the mayor's challenge as Ziven. The mayor took exception to Day's claim that he is prompted in his opposition by political motives, and that he is standing in the way of education. This declaration, cred- ited to Day during a discussion at & meeting of the High School Parents and Teachers' association Tuesday night, moved Paonessa to demand of the speaker either that he prove his allegations or retract. He sug- gested that they meet in a school suditorium to debate the issue. Would Debate Before Officials Mr. Day, however, suggests that the debate be had at a meeting of the board of finance and taxation or at a joint meeting of the board and the common council; also that the (uestion to be argued be whether the school committee's plan for an addition to the present building, or the suggested scheme for a new school in another seetion of the city, is best for the city's intevests, The mayor has frequently stated he does not consider it proper pro- cedure to have the school board plan acted upon by the board of (Continued on Page 27) JUDGE LOSES PATIENCE JAILS WIFE BEATER Husband Punches Man Pretecting Woman Fleeing for Life “I'm going to give you something for your stomach. We've been un- usually lenient with you ip this court for some time, suspending jail sentences and fines,” Judge M. D. Saxe told Louls Raczkowski in po- lice court today, as he revoked the suspension of & 30 days' jail sen- tence imposed in August by Judge toche, and added a five day sen- tence to it. Raczkowskl, who is 24 years of age and lives at 14 Gilbert si.eet, was assaulting his wife on Silver street at 2:45 o'clock this morning when she ran screaming to Michael Havalis, who was driving a milk de- livery truck, and jmplored him to! save her. Havalis took her into the | truck and RaczKowski followed her | and in his own words, “belted him | in the jaw.” Supernumerary Officers Zocco and Cole were at the corner of Broad and High strests when Havalis com- plained to them of the assault, and the officers found Mrs. Raczkowski sitting on the curbstone, unable to walk because of a sprained ankle some time later after a search for Raczkowski. She accused her hus- band of having beaten her besides taking her pay, which she earned on a press in a local factory. He | threatened to shoot her, according | to her complaint. Raczkowskl, who has been before the court several times within the past few months on account of do- mestic trouble, denicd that he was drunk. “I had my brains with me,” he said. His wife was walting for Probation Officer Counolly in front | of the police station at 6:30 last | night, he said, her intention being to obtain a divorce or a separation. He talked to her for a while and she started up Commercial street with him, but she had gone only a little way when she suggested that they go to see a friend of hers on Broad street and get some liquor, as that was the only remedy for her state of mind. “You get liquor and make your wife drink it, don’t you?" Prosecut- | ing Attorney Woods shot at him. | *No, she gets the liquor and makes | me drink it Raczkowski replied. | “Docs she have much trouble get- ting you to drink it?” Judge Saxe interposed. “You left two children at home alone, didn't you, while you and your wife walked around the streets drunk. You ought to be ashamed of yourself,” Mr. Woods told him. “I know I can’t drink. My stomach 1s all shot,” Raczkowski continued, ignoring Mr. Woods' shaft, but Judge Saxe apparently had heard enough and sentenced him to fail. The children are 13 and 7 years WAS ILL FOR TEN WEEKS Dead Woman Prime Mover in Early History of Church in New York City—Resigned After Friction in 1908, Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 12 (P—Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson, at one time a leader in the Christian Science church, died here today at the age of 87. She had been ill for 10 weeks. Mrs. Stetgon was born at Wald~ boro, Me., and was the daughter of Peabody and Salome Sprague Sim- mons. She was educated in schools at Damariscotta, Me., Newcastle, Me., and the Blish School of Ora- tory and the Metaphysical college of Boston. Receives Degree The late Mary Baker Eddy con- ferred upon her the degree of Chris- tian Science Doctor. Mrs. Stetson’s husband, who died several years ago, was Captain Fred- erick J. Stetson. They were married at Damariscotta, Me. Beginning the practice of Chris- tian Science healing in 1884, Mrs. Stetson the next year preached on alternate Sundays in the mother church, in Boston. She was sent by Mrs. Eddy to New York city in 1886 and became one of the organizers and charter members of the First Church of Christ Scientist, New York. Mrs. Stetson preached regularly in the church and in 1888 became its pastor, which title was changed in 1895 to first reader. She continued in that office until the rule of rota- tion was fnaugurated making a term three years. Her total tenure of of- fice as pastor and first reader was 17 years. Raised $1,250,000 When the New York: Christian Bcience Institute -was chartered in 1891, Mrs. Stetson became its prin- cipal. 8he raised $1,250,000 to build the First Church in New York city and dedicated it free of debt, as soon as it was completed in 1903. The entire sum was contributed by Mrs. Stetson and her students. After her years of labor in behalf of Christian Science, friction arose between Mrs. Stetson and the moth- er church. 8he resigned her mem- bership in the First Church, New York, in 1908, Mrs. Stetson has been staying with hcr nephew, Major Harold W.

STORY OF STOCK DEAL MISLEADING Governor Tells How He Came to; Buy in Watkins' Firm PALLOTTI ALSO EXPLAINS Officials Say Anderson Told Them He Was Sclling Personal Stock That They Might Recoup for Previous Deal Which Falled, Hartford, Oct. 12 (®—Gov. John H. Trumbull and Secretary of State Francls A. Pallotti today explained the transactions by which each was able to buy 100 shares of National Associated Investors, Inc., stock be- low the market price as the pay- ment of an obligation by J. Verner Anderson, former representative from West Hartford in the legisla- ture. Wipe Out Previous Debt The governor and secretary of state said that Anderson, office man- ager for Roger W. Watkins, who | has pleaded guilty to embezzlement, sold them the stock at a price that would wipe out a previous debt in- curred by Anderson as the result of stock sales to the two state officials | which turned out unsatisfactorily several years ago, Gov. Trumbull said at that time Anderson was soliciting subecrip- tions for an automobile insurance company being organized and that both he and Judge Pal- lotti bought some of this stock in order to “help out” the former West Hartford legislator.,, The insurance company did not materialize and their investment was a total loss. Sald ok Was Own ‘If Anderson had not told me the stock was his personal holding in the compzny and that he wanted to transfer it to square himself for the other deal, I certainly would have investigated the company before ac- ceping it,” Gov. Trumbull said. “It was not until after my broker sold the stock that I heard rumors about the company.” C9AST GUARD CUTTER BELIEVED IN DANGER {Springs Leak Off Califor- | nia Coast—13 Men on Board [ San Francisco, Oct. 12 (A—Coast guard officers announced here to- | day that their vessels in northern | California waters had been asked to |go to the aid of the coast guard cutter Smith, which was reported in | | distress 30 miles oft Point Arena, |Cal., about 300 miles north of here. | The Smith, which had been used | for harbor detail here but which had been assigned to patrol duty, was said to have encountered high scas off the northern California coast.

STARVING EX-SOLDIER STEALS LOAF OF BREAD Jobless and Desperate, His Plight Saves Him From Arrest Driven to desperation by hunger and lack of employment, an ex- serviceman whose name and address are withheld for obvious reasons, stole a loaf of bread in front of the Economy store at 537 Main street and was caught after a chase through Center, East Main and Elm streets yesterday, but was not ar- rested on account of the sympathy Joseph Puskarz, manager of the store, felt for him. This is the first case of theft or other crime to come to the attention of the police in this city in some time, traceable to indus- trial slackness, Supernumerary Officer Muszynski, who is doing speclal duty at the Main street railroad crossing while the pavement is be- ing laid, was called by A. Merrick, driver for the Bond Baking Co,, who told him bread had been taien every morning for five days, and he and Puskarz lay In walt yesterday to catch the culprit.

The fellow, who is unmarried and lives alone, de- nied that he had taken more than two loaves of bread, and said he would not have taken any but for his inability to obtain work. Senator Curtis Loses Black Campaign Hat Chicago, Oct. 12 (P —Another campaign hat has been left in the west, but unlike Governor Smith, who gave away two brown derbies on his western trip, Senator Curtis, the republican vice presidential nominee, lost his big black hat in Janesville, Wis,, last night. The sénator was exasperated when he couldn't find his hat after the meeting at Jahesville last night, but he cheered up again today when he found a duplicate here of the broad rimmed black felt which he has been wearing. Friends believed a souvenir hunter got away with the senator’s hat. “Babe” Ruth Almost Mobbed by Crowds Union City, N.

Many Visitors There Special trains had brought hun- dreds of out of town visitors to take part In the Smith reception and rally. A group of Tennessee democratic leaders joined the Smith special train at Knoxville and accompanied him to Chattanooga. They included Senators McKellar and Tyson, Rep- resentative Samuel McReynolds, Mayor Ed Bass of Chattanooga and District ~Attorney General M. N. Whittaker of Chattanooga. Still Asleep Knoxville turned out a large crowd to grect the nominee but he was still in bed when that town was reached. The crowd cheered and sang “The Sidewalks of New York,” but failed to get a glimpse of the governor during the brief stop. A line of more than 50 automo- biles followed behind the nominee’s car in the procession through deco- rated and crowd-lined streets to the Memorial auditorium. 5000 Hear Him The auditorium, ecapable of seat- ing more than 5,000, was nearly filled when the governor, brown derby in hand, was escorted in by Gov.

NDERSEA SALVAGE CRAFT OFF WAYS Ioventor Believes “Submarine Lifeboat” Gan Defy Storms \LAUNGHED AT BRIDGEPORT Survivors of S-4 Victims Watch Strangc Boat Slide Into Water— Will Be Given Test Of Cape Charlcs, Va. Bridgeport, Oct. 12 (UP)—One of the strangest ocean-golng craft in the world—the first ‘submarine life- boat"—-was launched here today. As the climax of ceremonies par- ticipated in by municipal officials, Simon Lake's reconstructed 17-year- cld submarine “Defender” slid down the ways at the Bridgeport Dreage and Dock Co. and into the water. Three persons to whom the launch ing had a particular significance at- tended the ceremony. They were Mrs. Frederick O'Shields, Mrs. Frank Snizek and. William Goering, all of Bridgeport. The two young women lost their husbands, Goering his son, when the S-4 sank off Province- town, Mass., last December after a collision with the coast guard de- troyer Paulding. The “Defender,” one of the small- est practical submarines in the world, and the only privately-owned | submarine in the United States, has been equipped with special devices to permit it to salvage sunken sub- marines while resting on the ocean tloor. Captain Sloan Danenhower, sub- ngprine engincer, has superintended refitting the old craft. The “De- fender” was built by Simon Lake, inventor of the modern double-hull submersible. Next month, Danenhower, Lake and a crew of six will take the De- fender to Cape Charles, Va., where, in the presence of naval officials, they will attempt to demonstrate the vessel's salvage efficiency in heavy weather. Can Ignore Bad Weather “Our boat is not a ‘belle weather’ craft,” Captain Danenhower told the United Press. “Salvags operations |can be carried on from the sea- Dottom, using the ‘defender’ as a {base, no matter how stiff the blow |at the surface.” The “defender” does not sub- { merge by diving as do war-type sub- jmarines. A two and one-half ton jmushroom anchor is drawn up inside |the boat amidships. When the sub- | marine is to submerge, the anchor s lowered to the bottom. Water is {taken into the ballast tanks until the {Weight of the craft is reduced to a |ton. Then the boat is drawn to the lottom by a windlass. The defender | thus can hover over a sunken boat or rest on hydraulic-cushioned wheels on the ocean floor. Divers may leave and re-enter the {boat by means of a trap door in the bow leading from a special compres- | sion chamber. “Post. mortems, of course. are | tutile,” said Danenhower, “but we | feel that had a submarine equipped as the ‘defender’ been available when the S-4 sank off Provincetown, many of the crew might have been saved. The defender would not have been balked by the heavy weather that prevented diving from surface craft until all the survivors i suicide attempts in Five Ships Have Reported Sighting Huge Dirigible —Course Changed to Avoid Head Winds— Passengers Exceedingly Air Sick, By the Asoclated Press. ¥ar over the Atlantic the dirigible Graf Zeppelin was west of the island of Madeira this afternoon and head- ed for the United States over & southerly course that probably will carry her past Bermuda. 301 Hours Out Thirty and a half hours out of Friedrichshafen, the huge air liner prasscd over the city of Kunchal en the island of Madeira with a good 3,000 miles to travel before hitting, the American coast. At 10:30 a. m., tern standard time the steamship Euclid reported the Graf Zeppelin about 60 miles west of Madeira, After passing Gibraltar early this morning, the big ship which had vlanned to head for the Azores, be- gan to swing south to avoid strong headwinds and Dr. Eckener notified the Zeppelin station at Friedrichs. hafen that he planned to strike Lakehurst, N. J.,, by way of Ber- muda. Passengers Airsick The wireless station at 8t. Mich. ael was in communication with the Graf Zeppelin and from messages picked up it was learned that the passengers were exceedingly airsick. Although the dirigible apparently was planning to Ay south’ of the Azores, sharp lookout was being maintained there for the ship. The Azores are approximately 600 miles northwest of Madeira and it was not expected that the ship would reach them before late tonight, if she should head that way. Seen By Ships At least five ships reported sight- ing the Zeppelin at various points between Gibraltar and just beyond Madeira, where the steamship Eu- clid made the latest report. In view of the long southern de- tour made by the airliner it was not thought that she would reach Lake« hurst before Monday morning.

Officer Hopkins saw the young woman walking through Commercial street, past the police station at 5:55 o'clock, holding her hands to her mouth. Her fingers were covered with jodine and when the officer ask- ed her what the trouble was, she told him she had drunk a bottle of the liquid. The police were unable to learn the reason for the act, but the Bristol authorities reported that the young woman had left home at noon without stating her destination. At the hospital today, it was sald that she spent a restless night but her recovery is expected. Only a small amount of fodine reached her stomach and it is believed she lost her nerve and tried to expel the liquid when she felt it burning her throat, Bhortly before 7 o'clock, Mrs. Margaret Andachichl, aged 23, of 363 Main street, seized a bottle of lysol and drank some of it during an argument with her husband.
