BUSINESS LEADERS SUPPORTING SHITH Loergan Lists Prominent Men Acfinhsomsm (Special to the Herald) Bouthington, Oct. 13 — Alfred E. Smith, the “liberal” was held up as the man of the hour by Augustine Lonergan, democratic candidate for United States senator, at a demo- cratic rally in Southington last eve- ning. He proclaimed the New York governor, as the greatest executive the state has ever had and dclar- ed him to be the one man in whom the country at large can repose con- fidence in the upbuilding and rend- Jjustment of business during the next few years, “Governor Sfith has won the con- fidence of all the business leaders of the nation, and this is almost en- tirely due to the great record he established during his eight years as governor of the state of New York,” he said. *Elihu Root, one of the outstanding republicans of the coun- try, has praised Governor Smith on more than one occasion, and the opinion of Mr. Root is shared by the rank and file of New York state and has now spread beyond the bounda- ries of that state into the far reaches of the nation, Lists Business Men for Smith “Connecticut is, to a large extent, an industrial state, and it is not an unusual thing for the republican campaigners to go up and down the state predicting that depression in business will surely follow demo- “cratic succeas in the elections; that there will be short time achedules in the factories and lower wages will prevail. They are making a systematic campaign practically from house to house to spread the doctrine that working men ‘and women will surely lose their posi- tions if Governor Smith is elected. Contrast this with the action - of John D. Ryan, head of the Ana- conda Copper Co., in urging the support of Governor Smith for president; of Owen D. Young, of the General Electric company, being an enthusiastic supporter of the gov- ernor; of Mr. DuPont, of Delaware, pledging his support to Smith; and President Rae, of the Pennsylvania railroad system, declaring that 8mith stunds for a ncw order of things in business and in govern- ment; of John J. Raskob, an officer in one of the largest corporations in the country, resigning his posi- tion in busiress to accept the chair- manship of the committes working to bring about the election of the democratic party leader. “Governor Smith's administration, it he is elected, will do nothing to disturb business in the United 8tates, but instead it will tend to stabilize industry and to permit the small business man to have & standing in the community as well as the certain few. It requires very little argument to show that the en- tire campaign of the republican organization is based on selfishness, seeking to retain control of govern- mental affairs so that those, al- ready immensely rlch may add to their large holding: Ex-Congressman Lonergan spoke at a rally in the town hall under the auspices of the democratic town committee. The attendance was large. Every seat was occupled and many were forced to stand. Pickett Attacks John F. Pickett of Middletown, eandidate for state comptroller, cri- ticized Gov. Trumbull's slogan, *Pay &s you go.” “That would be all right if we're golng any place,” he said. Mr. Pickett declared that the wel- fare of people who need care in state institutions is neglected by the administration so that it may live up to its “Pay as you go” policy. He criticized Gov. Trumbull for reflect- ing on Gov. Bmith’s record in New York state. The Connecticut execu- tive in a recent speech sald that the New York executive had pun the Empire state into heavy debt. “But he didn't explain that that debt was for the care of widows, orphans, ex- servicemen, the insane and the sick and for the development of the rural school system,” Pickett sald. *“No, Gov. Trumbull didn’t say that be- cause he didn’t have the courage to admit something good about a dem- | ocratic candidate for offiee. “Compare the records of the two governors and you will find that, ‘while 8mith has been progressive and has spent money to care for people who needed care, Trumbull has done nothing.” Pickett concluded with an attack | on J. Henry Roraback whose com- pany, the Connecticut Power, was granted a franchise by the 1927 legislature allowing it to help itseilf to land. dam sites and ‘water power in the Housatonic river wvalley. Pickett said that Trumbull| ‘was governor in name only and that the real power was Roraback. Other speakers at the rally were | Charles W. Camp, first selectman of | Southington; Mayor A. M. Paonessa of New Britaln and Congressman Anthony Griffin, New York. Gerald P. Crean, leader of the 8mith for | president organization, presided. The rally was ended with the pre- sentation of the *Political Follies” by a group of New Britain yourg men. The songs and dances were greeted with extended applause. CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY A surprise bridge party was hela in henor of Miss Frieda Stavneger at the home of Miss Rase Greenberg last night. The occasion was Miss Stavneger's birthday. Guests were present from Hartford, Springfield, and New Haven. Prizes were awarded to Miss Bessie Kapla®, Miss Gus Levenson and Miss Martha Blumenthal. Miss Stavneger re- ceived many beautiful gifts. CULLEN LEAVES HOSPITAL Thomas F. Cullen, cify hall jan- itor who narrowly escaped death two weeks ago when he fell out of a sec- ond story window in city hall, re- turned to his home from the hospital yesterday. Cullen’s fall was broken by an ornamental lantern near the entrance to the municipal building, but he suffered a severe gash in his leg, and fractured ribs. He will probably be unable to resume his duties in city hall for several weeks. Light and | Chamberlin Off From Paris to Germany Paris, Oct.

He has not accepted that opportunity. His answer to me is an evasion,” the mayor declared. Mayor Paonessa had suggested o public discussion in a school audi- torium. Mr. Day countered with a { proposal that a discussion be had be- loro\lhe board of finance and taxa- |tion%and the common council and | that the subject to be debated be whether the school committee has reached the proper soiution of the | 8enlor High school problem or if a | rew school in another section of the city is to be preferred. Drops Dead in Parade Of New London Italians New Lendon, Oct. 13 (UP)— Elaborate observation of Columbus Day here was marred by one death and the injury of nine persons in & fireworks accident. Joseph Longo, 72, dropped dead of heart disease while parading with Italian-American residents. As the climax of a celebration at- tending the unveiling of an heroic statue of Christopher Columbus, a fireworks display was presented. ‘The final dynamite bemb of a bar- rage went wild and shot into the crowd. John D. Maynard was struck in the abdomen by a frag- ment. It was believed he would recover.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1928, SOUTHERN WONEN CHEER MRS, SHITH Entertain Her as Husbend Gets - Swatch of Rest r Smith’s Train En Route governor's wife accepted the hospi- tality of southern women last night for the first time In her life and went.on her way with their cheers ringing in her ears. While her campalgning husband ‘was saatching a few moments rest between parade and speech in Nash- ville, Mra- Alfred E. 8mith, never before \n the *“solid south” hustied to & reception given in her honor by the women democrats of Tenneasee. Hundrods Sice Hee Under the direction of Mra. Henry H. Horton, wife of the governor of Tennessee, hundreds of women and many men, whose fortitude allowed them questioningly to enter the re- ception room of the Hermitage hotel, clustered about Mrs. Smith, her two daughters, Mrs. John A. Warner and Mrs. Francis J. Quillinan, and ,her traveling companion, Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson. » The men peered in through the door just to look, but most of them remained to shake the guests' hands and be smiled upon, Mrs. 8mith, in an orchid metal- brocade frock and purple hat and shoes, greeted each member of the reception line with a hearty hand- clasp, a smile, and & few ‘words of thanks for the good wishes ten- dered. Mrs, Warner Receives Mrs. Warner, who is recovering from a severe cold, took her place in the receiving line, listening to each assurance that her father would carry Tennessee with atten- tion and levelling her gray eyes upon ull comers with interest. Mrs, Quillinan, a bride of four months, experienced her official re- ception in the role of the daughter of the pregjdential candidate. Bhe started timidly, sliding behind her mother and sister on cvery occasion, but before the hour was over, she was assuming her full share of the greetings and eagerly grasping every extended hand that came her way. “You'll be a good campaigner yet,” encouraged her elder sister as the two were escorted through the lines of people on their way to the auditorium, More Functions Ahead As the party left Nashville for a few hours rest before the special train reached Loulsville, where still more functions await the women of the party, the two girls were ad- mittedly tired. They sighed in uni. son as they stepped on their car, but Mrs. 8mith said she was sorry it ‘was over, She was amiling brightly at the end of the day as she was when she started and was looking forward to the Louisville stop with eagerness to rieet some more of “these lovely southern women.” Liquor Major Issue Smith, he sald, has “deliberately made the question of state control of liquer traffic’ the major issue while the “democratic national com- mittee and party are conducting & militant liquor campaign in the north and east, and an evasive and soft pedalling campaign upon the question of liquor in the south un- der smoke acreen of intolerance and religious prejudice.” Mr. 8immons asserted that during September democratic speakers made an intensive drive in the south to round up the masses of the peo- ple under the iash of party loyalty and regularity, and that in so doing they evaded the question of prohi- bition and immigration. Further, he decldted, those who are ‘“heart and soul” for the retention of pro- hibition have been told that “they are not opposed to Governor Smith because he wants to destroy this great reform but because of their bigotry and sectarian prejudice. “I defy and spurn the man,” Mr. Simmons sald “who attempts to drive them with the party lasA, who seeks to deter them upon the grounds of party loyalty from the free exercise of their righteous con- victions.” The North Carolina senator pre- dicted dark days ahead for the dem- ocratic party if it “shall win a vic- tory by compromising, bartering away and trading its principles for expediency's sake.” Such a victory, he declared, would be “more disas- trous than many defeats,” and re- sult in party dissension and disrup- tion and possibly disintegration. “It is to save the democratic party from such a fate,” Mr. 8im- mons said, “that 1 am opposed to the election of Governor Smith. I am willing to cast my fortunes in the balan THO STOWAWAYS WITH COMMANDER BYRD Life Will Not Be Easy For Them 0Oid Seamen Assert—Will Have to Work Hard San Pedro, Cal., Oct. 13 P—Two unnamed stowaways rode the high seas today antarctic bound, with Commander Richard E. Byrd, avia- tor-explorer, but if the predictions of ‘old salts” hers mean much there is little glamour about the trip for the pair. The old time seamen snickered when they heard the news. Life on a whaler is & hard one at best, they said, and for stowaways it is a cease- less grind. The stowaways will "work their passage good and plen- ty,” the seamen believed. Discovery of the self-invited pas- sengers was learned of here when Captain Oscar Nilsen, commanding the whaler C. A. Larsen, flagehip of the Byrd exploraton fleet which sail- ed from here Wednea-“y night, wirelessed A. Grove Knu . Knut- sen, agent for the Ross 8eal Whaling Company which owns the Larsen, said Captain Nilsen's message gave no more information. SIR ESME HOWARD WILL | FLASHES OF LIFE: W. C. T. U.

[/ GALAVICH JALED FOR KNIFING WIF Stabber Given 30 Days in M- ition to Fine of $76 An undergarment, & house dress, & sweater and a corset which Mrs. Walter Galavich of 353 Elm street was wearing when she was stabbed by her husband in September 23 were displayed in police court today when Galavich was arraigned on the charge of aseault with a deadly and dangerous weapon. The clothing was saturdated with blood which flowed from the wound. The case was continued a few days ago in order to have Galavich examined as to his mentality and Attorney B, J. Monklewics, at the outset today, told Judge Saxe that Dr. Ramon Lekston, who made the examination, was satisfied that Gal- avich was entirely sane. Sergeant Thomas J. Feeney testl- fled that he found Mrs Galavich bleeding from a wound, at a gaso- line station on Eim streest ehortly after noon on the day in question. He had her taken to New Britain General hospital at once and the following day he arrested her hus- band. There was no question tha. Galavich had been drinking, the sergeant sald. The woman had run out of the house and called for help as she realized she was losing blood from the wound. Mrs. Galavich testified that hlr' husband was the victim of liquor, being unable to control when under the influence or while recovering from a spree. He threat. | ened her a number of times and compelled her to run out of the house to escape his attacks, affe testified that Mrs. Galavich had & knife wound in the back of the right side approximate- ly 1% Inches deep and % inch wide, It healed nicely in five days. Attorney Monkiewics did not put on any defense but claimed that the state had not proven the charge. He asked that the local court take juris- diction but Prosecuting Attorney ‘Woods said the case should be sent to superior court under $1,000 bond. He sald the fact that Galavich was drunk when he stabbed his wife, Was no excuse. Judge Saxe said he was ready to take jurisdiction and he asked At- torney Monkiewics to make a sug- gestion as to the penalty. The de- fense counsel asked that & suspend- ed jail sentence be imposed, with probation, to allow Galavich an op- portunity to brace up. He has a printing and calendar business and | also a store and should be allowed to look after it, the lawer said. He is not criminally inclined, the attorney declared, and would never be in difficulty with the law but for his weakness for liquor. Prosecuting Attorney Woods ask- ed that a heavy fine and a term in | Jail be imposed. Mrs. Galavich can very well take care of the business and in fact wants to be allowed to do s0 independently of her husband. £he has sald she will never live with him again, Mr. Woods said. It would be a travesty on justice to allow him to go free on a sus- pended jail sentence after he had almost committed a homicide, and there was evidence before the cou.t that he had visited a number of “speakeasies” and after having be- come half drunk, declared to & com- panion that he was going home and stab his wife.

Rawlings, state health di- rector, in an interview here on win- ter health fashions. Clothing ought to be such as to provide protection against chilling side and to prevent heat stasis, ex- | cessive perspiration, malfunction of the skin and too much relative hu- {midity in the air spaces between body and garment while the indi- vidual is inside heated buildings.. These requirements are met far more satisfactorily by the modern woman’s dress than by that of men. “The weight of a woman's cold weather clothing is about one-tenth of what the text books on hygiene figured on 20 years ago,” said Dr. Rawlings, “while that of men has remained about the same. Women thave abandoned heavy undergar- ments for the more sensible plan of protecting themselves against expo- sure to cold by wearing furs, wool- en overgarments and coats that may be laid aside eaflly within doors. “Men, on the other hand, cling to heavy undergarments which ot only cause an unfavorable differ- ence in the amount of heat radiated and the amount of perspiration but 1157 Wilcox street, moving the body while the individual is out- influences the functioning ef the skin. “One important factor in the difticulty with the winter garments of men s that they shut out light rays from the body 8o that the hands and face make up the whole area of the body exposed to thess rays. This is especially true of gar- ments that are lined. The light, un- lined garments of women admit light rays freely.” BERG'S RESIDENCE VISITED BY THIE So Far as Known, Nothing of Yalue Is Takon The first floor tenement in & house at 18 Highland street, occu- pled by Park Commissioner and Mrs, Arthur E.

Yahn of 22 Highland street went into the tenement to air it, she ob- served that the bureau drawers had been opened. It was also noticed that articles in the pantry had been disturbed, the theory being that someone crawled in and was not careful to replace what was upset. Detective Sergeant George C. El- linger is investigating the case, which does not appear to be along the line of the many other burg- laries about the city during the past several weeks. In practically all the other instances, the tenements were thoroughly ransacked in the hunt for cash and jewelry, but in the Berg tenement, Mrs. Yahn would not have known anything had occurred but for the fact that the drawers were open, The police do not know positively that this cntrance was not made by the key workers who are sought for the other jobs, but the difference in the appearance of the tenement from that of the others is striking. Although keys were used to gain entrance to many of the other tene- ments, the burglars have also clam- bered through windows as appeared to have been done in the Berg case. There was no way of determining the time entrance was made, About 8 o'clock last night, Patrol- man Otis Hopkins picked up three men on Washington street and had them questioned by Detective Ser- geant Ellinger. They said they were canvassing for insurance, and the sergeant was satisfied that there was nothing on which to connect them with the house breaks. Mrs. Salpore Motta of 97 Mitchell street reported to Officer Joseph Kennedy that two men were prowl- ing about her property at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, and at 3:05 this | morning word came that someone was in a house at 16 Talcott street. Officers Peter McEvoy and Maurice Flynn investigated and reported that nobody was found who did not belong in the house.
