It was a minor accident, but it resulted in the arrest of Zablocki on charges of driving while under the influence of liquor and while his license was under suspension, and Golec on charges of driving without a license, and evading responsibility. Sergeant P. J. O'Mara and Officer J. M. Liebler, who were detailed to {nvestigate, found Zablocki in & store near the scene of the accident. The truck was on the street, the front spring and front right wheel damaged and the glass in the right door broken. Willlam Scheuy 71 Winthrop street gave the police the registration number of the car which was towing the truck, and after arresting Zablocki, the officers went to Alden street and question- ed Golec, who denied that Mazur's car had been out of the yard. The officers noted, however, that the radiator was warm, and Golec ex- plained that he had been using it to pull down a tree, thus accounting for a mark on the rear axle where a rope had rubbed off the accumulated mud. Asked to produce the rope and show the tree, he did 80, but the police ecalled his attention to the weakness of the rope for such a Job and Golec then said he had also used a chain. Asked to produce the chain, he showed one of the type used on dog collars and Bergeant O’Mara and Officer Liebler decided that he was not truthful, and brought him to the police station, where Zablocki identified him as the driver of the car. According to the police, Zablocko had been repairing the truck and 100k it out to try it. He was unfit to drive, the police allege spite the fact that the not on its own power, under the law he was the operator. He plead- ed guilty in police court today to both charges and asked that a con- tinuance be granted to allow him an opportunity to engage counsel.

FIANGE Allege Frand in Suit for $5,000 Filed Today CLAIM THEY WERE DUPED Zaworoncks Say Thelr Niece and Man She Expected to Masry In- duced Purchase of House and Treated Them Cruelly. Fraud, swindle and mistreatment are claimed in a $10,000 action brought today by Mr. and Mrs. John Zaworonek, an aged couple against their niece, Mary Zaworonek, alias Mary Panasewich, and Nikolay Pobrezny. The writ, issued by Attorney Ed- ward A. Mag states that on May 13, 1925 the defendants contrived a plan and knowing of the weakness of the plaintiffs induced them to invest over $5,000 in the purchase of a house at 3.5 Broad street, the title to go to the defendants and the plaintiff, John Zaworonek. Both parties were to move into the prop- erty, and the defendants were to marry and take interest in the sup- port of the plaintiffs in a satisfactory manner, it is alleged. Thereafter it is claimed, the plain- tiffs were under the defendants e clusive control; and while so acting in a figuciary, capacity fraudulently and with andue infiuonon fris the plaintiffs to pay ever to the de- fendants whatever John Zawaronek earned, it is said. It is claimed that since 1925 Zaworomek: parted with approximately $4.000 by force. The defendants further collected irents, never married and it is claimed that Probreany has a wife and children in Russia. The plaintiffs claim that at every turn they were treated harshly and cruelly, the defendants making it impossible for them to continue living with them, refusing to support them and when asked for ‘the money they advanced for (Continued on Page 14) PREMIER BRATIANU OF RUMANIA RESIGNS Believed M. Maniu Will Be Asked to Form New Cabinet Vienna, Nov. 3 P—Vintilla Bra- tlanu, premier of Rumania since the death of his brother Ion on Novem- ber 24, 1927, resigned today. The three principal leaders of the opposition parties, Tullo Maniu of the national peasant party, General Ffoza Averescu of the people’s party and Nicholas Jorga, of the national party, will be received by the re- gency this afternoon. It is probable that M. Maniu will be asked to form a cabinet in which event Nicholas Titulesco, who re- cently retired from the Bratlanu cabinet, will become foreign minis- ter. The resignation of Vintilla Bra- tianu apparently brings to an end, at least for the time being, the long rule of the Bratianu family in Ru- manian affairs. Vintilla was never the dominating figure that his brother had been, but he had always had a share in' his late brother's con- fidence and acted as a trusted col- league and adviser. The death of Ion Bratianu ayear ago left the political situation in Rumania in somewhat of a turmoil. Jon had been a dominant personal- ity in Rumania for a quarter of & century and even the late King Fer- dinand and Queen Marie never were in a position seriously to dispute his judgment. Ton was the arch foe of former Crown Prince Carol and his policy of retusing to permit Carol to return to Rumania or to have any- thing to do with the Rumanian gov- ernment was followed by Vintilla. Even with the Bratianus out, how- ever, it {s not likely that there wili be much change in the attitude of the Rumanian government towards Carol, who is now in exile in Paris, while the Rumanian throne is be- ing occupled by the seven year old Michael under a regency consisting of Prince Nicholas, Patriarch Cristea and ‘G. Buzbugan, president of the supreme court of justice. The National Peasant party in particular has opposed the premier- ship of Vintilla Bratianu. It held & huge mass meeting at Alba Julia some time ago. A march on Bu- charest was organized by some of the peasants, but this petered out and never reached the capital.

The cost of the Memorial Gateway was shared by Yale alumni, and by the National Collegiate Ath- letic Association, which received contributions from 224 colleges and universities and from 279 prepara- tory and high schoois. Location of Memorial The Yale athletic fields are locat- ed in the outskirts of New Haven about a mile from the Unlversity and are divided by Derby -avenue. On the north side .of the highway are the Bowl, the Lapham Field House, and the tennic courts. On the south side are the baseball dia- monds and the track. Where Derby avenue crosses high ground and separates the northern fields from the southern, the highway for a dis- tance of 120 feet has been widened and converted into an ornamental plaza. At the entrance to the north- ern fields and directly in front of the Yale Bow! has been erected a lofty gateway of brick and stone 70 feet wide and fifty feet high. Over the arched entrance is carved the inecription—"Walter Camp Field.” Extending from the Gateway on either side for a distance of about foyr hundred feet is a low orna- mental wall 1n keeping with the character of the Memorial. Upon tablets set into the walls flanking the gateway appear the names of the schools and colleges which. con- tributed to the Memorial. This is the Memorial which, to- gether with the approach and en- closure, was designed by John W. Cross, Yale 1900, of New York city. Prof. Nettleton Presides Professor George H.

Negro Accidentally Killed in Bridgeport Bridgeport, Nov. 3 (UP—Electro- cuted in some unexplained manner when he touched a sand cutting machine which he was working at the Bridgeport Casting Company on North avenue, Arthur Belcher, 35, negro of 46 Reservoir avenue was instantly killed at 11 o'clock last night. A short circuit in the wire leading to the motor which furnishes power for the machines believed ‘o have charged the machine with electricity. Belcher was working on the ma- chine with S8amuel Black, negro, of €93 North Washington avenue. When Belcher grasped a metal portion of the sand cutter his body gave & violent jerk, he uttered a scream and his writhing body fell to the floor. He was unable to let go of the machine until his fall pulled the electric wire from the socket and broke the flow of current.

By BYRON PRICE (Associated Press Staff Writer.) | One of the memorable political | campaigns of history is ending. in u dizzying burst of effort and enthu- | slasm, As Hoover swings through th west, and Smith makes his final rounds among his neighbors in New York, millions of their fellow-citi- zens join in noisily to lift the drama to its proper climax. Party rallies are in progress in metropolis and hamlet, and party workere every- where are lavishing advice on every wavering voter. Final Talks Monday Most of this tumult will end to- night, when Smith speaks in New York city and Hoover at Pueblo, Colo.. While scores of the lesser fig- ures of the stump wind up their | speaking tours and turn homeward to cast their own ballots on Tues- day, it will remain for the nominees themselves to sum up the argument in radio addresses Monday night. As they prepare to close their doors, both Smith and Hoover head- quarters are predicting victory. As put out by publication, these predic- | tions on either side sometimes go the | length of forecasting a landslide. | When they talk privately, the esti- | mates of party lieutenants are less sweeping, but even then each insists that enough votes have been won to insure the election of his candidate. These claims are advanced earnestly and defended warmly, whether made on behalf of Hoover or on Smith. Forecasts Overlap Of course the details of these forecasts overlap, and both cannot | be correct. It has been the sort of campaign to aroyse unusual expec- tations, and pafty leaders down along the line have made surprising reports to their superiors—reports which even the most enthusiastic of the experienced politicians hesitate to believe. Some democrats even now are claiming Pennsylvania and Michigan, and some republicans are claiming Georgia and Arkansas. When such predietions are voiced in the presence of any leader of the opposing party, they are greeted with ridicule. Yet they illustrate the vague hopes which are afloat upon the twisting currents of this cam- | paign. Even though they are so con- flicting that one set or the other must be regarded as untrustworthy, the more studied predictions of the politiclans, as mule privately meet at certain points and are worth analysis. Republican Beliefs | | | They disclose a general agreement ithat expectations of a Hoover vic- tory are based on the premisc of a| !republican sweep through the east and west, enveloping the border and | perhaps a part of the south; and that expectations of a Smith victory rest on a supposition that he will |hold the south, take a good part of Ithe east, and pick up a few addi- | tional states here and there along |in the far west.
