Fifteen arrests for violations of the motor vehicle laws were made by the police over the week-end, the charges including speeding, evading respounsibility, driving under the in- fluence of liquor, violation of the rules of the road, resckless driving and lesser counts. Judge H. P. Roche was on the bench and Prose- cuting Attorney J. G. Woods prescnt- ed the state's cases. Did Not Evade Responsibility Solomon Weissman, 38, of 35 Le- gion avenue, New Haven, was dis- charged after a lengthy hearing on the charge of evading responsibility. He was driving a truck south on South Main street about 11:15 Sat- urday forenoon and a dog owned by Judge W. F. Mangan ran into the street and was struck by the truck ‘Weissman claimed that he and a companfon stopped and got out but the dog was out of sight, having Tun into the State Trade school yard. It developed that the dog died on the premises. James G, Williams of 158 South Main street, who conducts a gasoline station on the old Devitt property, witnessed the accident and followed Weissman to Berlin, where he was caught up to him and told him to return to the scene, which he did. Officer Axel Carlson had been call- ed by Williams in the meantime and after interviewing several wtnesses, arrested Weissman, Attorney A. A. Greenberg repre- sented Weissman and contended that the latter had done all the law re- quires a prudent driver to do under the circumstances. Had the dog run to Glen street or an equal distance the motorist would not have been expected to follow, Attorney Greenberg argued, and Prosecuting Attorney Woods replied that all the evidence indicated that Welssman was guilty. Judge Roche | found it necessary to interrijd the argument at one juncture to te”l the prosecutor and’ the defense attorney that their duty was to present the case and the court did not wigh them to exercise their oratorical powers at cach other's expense.

Tothill said his mother-in-law fainted in a Main street store and he was in a hurry to get her home. He did not recall having passed other cars, his mind being centered on his mission because his passenger seemed to be in bad condition. He admitted that he did not have his certificate of registration or his op- crator's license with him but he pro- duced them later.

Ser- geant Feeney mdde the arrest on South Main street, URUGUAY GUARDS HOOVER CLOSELY (Continued from First Page) that reports of communist plots and demonstrations were unjustified. “A few local radicals shouted $1.50 to $5.00 $1.50 to $85.00 $5.00 to $20.00 vivas for Sandino and Sacco and Vanzetti in the streets last night, and that is all that happened,” he said. “The people of Uruguay and of Montevideo are entirely happy that Mr. Hoover is here. We have been, and are friends of the United States and hail Mr. Hoover and his good will mission wholcheartedly. It is & great mistake, if a handful of irre- sponsible persons representing no- body but themselves can by street shouts be allowéd to create the im- pression of a demonstration against Mr. Hoover.” Members of the IHoover official party also felt that no importance should be attached to the affair. Nevertheless the government as well as the municipal authorities, desiring to take every precaution, have thrown cordons of mounted police around the hotel where Mr. Hoover is stopping. Plain clothes men also mingled with the crowds in the lobbies and corridors. Mr. Hoover has his quarters in an entire upper floor, where today he received distinguished callers. The cntire scene was extremely pictur- esque as visitors constantly arrived while police in plumed helmets and say uniforms gave a touch of color. This morning all members of the American colgny and other English speaking residents called at the ho- tel to welcome Mr. Hoover. He stood in one of the corridors on (he first floor shaking hands with his compa- triots. Outside, across terraces and & broad, palm-lined avenue, stretch. ed a beautiful beach dotted with bathers. It is the time of summer holiday here. After the {informal reception to Americans at the hotel, 8fficials es- corted Mr. Hoover to the legislative palace in continuation of the pro- gram of calls and formal receptions which were destined not to end until after the official banquet late to- night. Despite the strenuous program that he carried out in luenos Aires, Mr. Hoover appeared to be in fine physical condition today and seemed to be enjoying hM experiences. He felt that his frank and free es- changes of views with the presidents of various countries would result generally in better understanding between the governments of North and South America. He expected to have time to present the viewpoints of the many subjects of interest in the Americas, and their future rela- tionship before leaving here for Rie Janiero tomorrow. He was to be re- ceived by the chamber of deputies and President Campisteguy will give a dinner in his honor tonight. En route to Montevideo on the Argentine cruiser Buenos Aires, Mr. Hoover sent a radio message to President Irigoyen of Argentina say- ing he believed that from his visit and the exchange of ideas there wonld result a better understanding of the problems facing Argentina and the United States. This was takem to indicate that Mr. Hoover felt much better prepared for the tasks ahead in the conduct of his own administration in relation to Latin American republics. ‘When the Argentine cruiser arriv- ed in the harbor, a salute was fired from the guns of Cerro fort and the Urugua cruiser Montevideo. Foreign Minister Rufino Dominguez welcomed Mr. Hoover and escorted him down the gangway which was decorated with the stars and stripes. ‘The preaident of Uruguay was wait- ing on the pler with members of his family and expressed his pleasure at the visit, Mr. Hoover spent the night at the Women Parque hotel where ntire floor had been reserved for him. One wing of the hotel contains the casine of Montevideo where roulette and other games of chance are operated under government monopoly. This is one of the largest gambling ca« sinos in the world. Mr. Hoover's message to President Irigoyen said: *“1 carry happy recollectio of your country and its people. The wonderful progress made by the Are gentine republic of which I had read, has been fully confirmed dur- ing this memorable visit to your favored country, but the generous hospitality, courtesy and aigh cul- ture of its people had not been ade- quately described. While still en- joying the hospitality of the cruiser Buenos Aires, which your excellency 80 kindly placed at my disposition for the voyage to Montevideo, T can- not fail to ask you again to accept the sincerest thanks of .ay col- leagues, my wife, and myself for all that has been done to make the visit to Argentina an unforgettahls episode In our lives. I beg you, Mr. President, also to extend our thanks to your distinguished colleagues and to the members of your family. Know That We Know —AND HE'LL KNOW IT THE MOMENT HE SEES IT.
