"The case of Benjamin Bolomon of : day, Oct, 30, at the American Le- | Francis street, New Britain, charged with manslaughter, was again post- poned last evening at the session of the Berlin town court due to the fact that the findings of Coroner J. Gil- bert Calhoun of the Hartford county have not been completed. The coro- ner held a hearing last Wednesday afternoon but has not made his final decision on the fatality. Solomon was arrested a few weeks ago ea a technical charge of man- slaughter after his car had struck and killed Mary Jennings of Perel- val avenue, Kensington, and seripus- 1y injured Alice Chapman, also of Kensington. He was released on bonds of $2,000. John Beatrice of Percival avenue, Kensington, charged with reckless driving, was feund not gullty by the court and was discharged. He was arrested late Baturday evening by Constable George Kanupa after a car which ho way driving crashed into one operated” by 8am ‘Senaldi, also of Kensington, on the Beach Swamp road. John E. Blackburn of Cambridge, Mass., charged with reckless driving, was found not guilty and was dis- charged by the court. He was ar- rested by the state police in connec- tion with their drive on the Berlin turnpike. John Kerbelon of Brooklyn, N. Y. was found gulilty of driving an over- lcaded truck and was fined $35 and costs. He was arrested by the state police. Three other cases were scheduled to appear before the court for dis, posal but the accused failed to ap- pear and the court ordered the cases continued for a week.

Lyman of Kensington, who was & teacher of the republican nominee for the vice presidency, and who ‘was an invited guest at the Hartford rally at which he spoke last week. She wrote that the enthuslasm of his reception amd the response to his speech must have been gratifying to him and to all. I enjoyed everything. May the optimistic prophesies as to the results come true. I think they will Addresses Local Club Col. H. Russell Wood of Hartford addressed a large gathering of re- publican women yesterday afternoon at the Worthington Community house under“the auspices of the Re- publican Woman's club of Berlin. He directed most of his specch toward clearly setting forth all sides of the present campaign and speaking with the view of relating the significance of the platform of the republican party. Speaking on what he contended to be one of the main issucs in the campaign, Colonel Wood explained the need for a high protective tariff %o protect the working man. He stated that should the republican party win the election its viclpry would vouch for a protective tariff and the common laborer would have no fear of being thrown out of work because foreign goods could not overrun the markets of this coun- try with toreisa prices. The speaker continued on to say that the Women will be given he greatest creiit for the enforcement of the pronibition law in case of o rcpublican victory because it 18 a well known fact teat the vote of th> women whl by the declding issue in the coming elcction. In commenting upon Mr. Raskob's statenfent that there has been no prosperity under republican admin istrations of the past few years, Col. Wood pointed out that the great wealth of the chairman of the democratic national committee came to him while republicans were in office.

Co. and the Standard Steel & Bearings, Inc., have agreed to cooperate with the town in resurfacing Woodford avenue and sareguarding and resur- facing Pine street, and each factory will bear one-third of the cost of the improvements, the selectmen announced today. Work has been started on ripping up the old surfacing, and the con- tractors will begin to lay the new pavement next Monday. It is esti- mated that the total cost of the work will be $6,000, of which the town will pay only one-third and the factories one-third apiece. The two streets, which are really continuations of each other, have been in bad condition for some time and there have been numerous com- plaints, but no money was available tor new paving until the udget for the new fiscal year was approved the recent town meeting. At that ime the item for road work was somewhat increased over that of a year ago, the sclectmen explaining that they wished to lay, on several streets, & pavement which cost slightly more but would last consid- erably longer than the former type of surfacing.

It was understood, however, that the bishop Intended to report on deci- sions taken by the house of bishops at their recent meetings and to ask that the diocese pledge itself to carry them out.

GRETA GARBO and OONRAD NAGEL FRIDAY TIM McCOY in “THE ADVENTURER” ANNUAL GRANGE FAIR Given By PLAINVILLE GRANGE Thursday and Friday I Bristol News YALE INSTRUCTOR ADDRESSES RALLY Dr. Harris of Divinity School s Bt RAPS {8TH AMENDMENT Dr. Claffey Also Speaks—Early Moming Fire—Tax Delinquents Pay—Attempt Being Made to Have Smith's Train Stop Heve, Bitterly assailing the 18th amend. ment and the Volstead act and de- ploring the bigotry which had crept into the present presidential cam- paign, the Rev. Dr. Malcolm Harris | of the Yale Divinity school urged held last evening in the Red Men's auditorium to support Al Bmith, “the Happy Warrior,” and the en- tire democratic ticket. “I. believe the moral imsues of this campaign are on the side of Smith,” asserted Dr. Harris. 1 think the 18th amendment is & bu- rcaucratic infringement on “the rights of the people. Only a few days ago when 33 persons in New York city died from poisoned liquor and Mayor Walker asked the as- sistance of the department of jus- tice to apprehend those responsible. he was informed that the govern- ment could do nothing, it being their contention \hat when poison was placed in the alcohol, it no longer remained a beverage, but a poison.” In attacking the bigotry phase of the campaign, Dr. Harris stated that it was unbelievable that such an attitude could be fostered by persons who declare themselves Americans. He told of his acquain- tance with Al S8mith while residing in Aloany from 1923 to 1926 and called attention to the fact that in spite of the fact that republican opponents had kept the closest scru- tiny on Al Smith's private and po- litical life, they were never able to unearth the slightest bit of scandal. Hoover and the republican ad- ministration of the past eight years was assailed by the speaker, par- ticular reference being made to the ofl scandal. Lieut. John Pickett, candidate for state comptroller, called attention to what he termed *the extr: gant administration of the’ republi- can party in the state fof the past several years. Mentions New Slogan “The republican party now has a new slogan,’ asserted Mr. Pickett. “It used to be, ‘Vote the republican ticket and have a full dinner pail;® that has now been changed to ‘Vote the republican ticket and have a full garage.’ For a time I wondered Just what they meant to fill the garage with but now I know. Why, with nothing but ofl.” The failure of the state to prop- erly care for the tubercular chil. dren at Niantic and for the insane and mentally weak was criticized by the apeaker. He flayed John Henry Roraback for his part in state af- fairs and questioned the need of an election, pamticular reference being made to the declsion of the legisla- ture not to sanction a bond issue to take care of the state unfortunates following a meeting at the Hartford club at which Roraback presided. He also pointed out that at the present time it is eosting §$11 more Per person a year in ahe state than it did ten years ago. Dr, Claflcy Speaks Dr. M. F. Claffey, candidate for representative from this city, spoke briefly, calling attention to two acts of legislation passed by the last gen- cral assembly. Particular reference was made to senate bill No. 185, which perimtted 30 days' grace for the payment of taxes after which time interest at the rate of nine per cent would be addel. Tn five years time, according to the meaning of the act, the city had no alternative but to dispose of such properties on which taxes had not been paid and liens placed, he pointed out. He also criticized the amendment to the charter of the Connecticut Light and Power company, page 223 of the special acts, in which the company 8 given the privilege of laying gas mains on any eity street or state highway across public parks and private property, without re. course from property ewners. Saction 2 of the same act, he pointed out, nermitted the same comnany to dam the Housatonie river at any point between Derby and Falls Village and that abutting property awners would have no reconrse althongh their nronerties were inundated by the backwater. Talke Tnemnloyment Ferman Konnlemann, eandidate for congress from first congressional his listeners at a democratic raliy, county while op July 1at of this year there were but §3,000. This i spite of the fact that the pepulation of Hartford had increased $0.000 dur- ing that period and that the pepu- lation outside of the capital city had increased another ¢0,000. He also spoke on tarift, saying that the protective tariff. so eften speken of by the republican 3 protected only such industries which contributed to the eefters of that party. The pretective tari®, he pointed out. had falled te protect the hat business in Danbury and it was poasible to buy hats in Italy asd Csecho-Slovakia cheaper than they could be bought in this ceuntry. It was also pessible to purchase suits in these countries cheaper than the cloth itself could be bought for in Rockville, “We stand for & pretec- tive tariff that protects every indus. try and every workingman and rebs ino one,” asserted Mr. Kopplemann. William 1. Barrett candidate fer i representative was seated om the | speakers’ platform but did net speak. Judge John Matthews, former can- didate for governor of New Jersey, missed train connections for this city and was not able to reach here in time to speak. Large Crowd Presest In spite of the rainy weather, ap- proximately 700 persons, & number of whom were women, attended the rally. Joseph F. Dutton, chairman of the local democratic town eom- mittee, presided. Early M Fire Fire, which broke out ut 2:45 a. im. today, caused damage estimated Ly Chief John H. Hayes at approxi- mately $1.500 in the store of Joseph Marcinkiewic on Talmadge street. The loss to contents was placed &t 181,000 and to the bullding, which is owned by Jacob Zarik at $500. Squad A and Hose Company No. 1 responded and extinguished the blaze with chemicals. The fire, in the opinion of firg de- partment officials, started in the rear of the store where a large quantity of matches were stored. A cat, left in the bullding as a protec- tion against rats and mice, was ‘emothered. Pay { Tax Delis 8ix personal tax delinquents each paid into the city treasury the sum of $3.80, when breught before Prosecuting Attorney James T. Mather and Tax Collector Frank B. Riley this morning. Want Smith to Stop In spite of the fact that the schedule of Governor Alfred Smith's private train calls for but four stops within the confines of the state ef Connecticut, an effort is being made to have a one-minute stop made in this city, The train {s due to pass through Bristol at 6:35 p. m. to- morrow evening and special arrange. ments are now heing made te ac- commodate the large crowd which it il.oxpected will gather at the local passenger station. Joseph F. Dutton, chairman eof |the democratic town committee, in- |tended to get in touch with rall- road officials today to see if the above arrangement could not be made. Prospective Supernumeraries Five prospectiv pernumeraries will be given a course of training at the police school maintained by the Hartford police department before they are officlally recommended for appointment by the city council, it was announced this morning by | Commissioner Homer H. Judd. The men, who succemsfully passed the city examinations recently, are Wil- liam T. Leishman, F. J, k, |A. Caruso, Frank K. Day and War- ‘rirgton Purrington. Purrington during the past summer was em- ployed as a special officer at Lake Compounce. These candidates for appointment, together with the supernumeraries uow attached to the force, appeared jbefore a meeting of the police eom- missioners last evening. They were all urged to attend the Hartford school one night a week for a speci- fied length of time and were given |to understand that thoss who did at- tend wagld be given the first consid- eration when appointments te the regular force were considered.
