‘ SCARES FANLY, FACES JAIL TERM Wile and Children Live in Foar of Piorkowski Accused by his wife and daughter 3 being & toper, Walenty Plorkow- “ski, 52, of 45 Horace street, was fined $5 and costs by Judge M. D. Baxe in police court today on the charge of drunkenness, and Wi given a suspended jail 'sentence of 30 days on the charge of breach of the pesce, with a warning that he will be obliged to serve the sentence If Probation Officer Connolly sees fit to have him arrested or if his fam- ily has further trouble with him. Officer Cirnelius Keough testi- fled that he made the arrest at 4:45 o'clock New Year's morning on com- plaint, finding Piorkowski intoxicat- ed in the hallway of his home. Mrs. Plorkowski testified that her life has been threatened several times by him and she and the others of the family live in fear. In her testimony, Mrs. Piorkow- ski mentioned disturbances caused last week and Attorney L. J. Golon, defense counsel, objected - on . the ground that the complaint alleged an offenge on January 1 only. Judge Baxe sustained him but Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Greenstein claimed that it was not necessary to set forth several separate dates on a breach of the peace charge. Attor- ney Golon insisted that it was, whereupon Mr. Greenstein amended the complaint and alleged breach of the peace on December 28, 29, 30 and 31, in addition to January L “What's your plea?" he demanded of the attorney. “You might as well have every day in the calendar,” the attorney answered. Under the amended eomplaint, Mrs. Plorkowski was permitted to tell of her husband's actions on the days mentioned, when he used im- proper language and aroused the entire household. Her daughter testified thut he came home late at night and hanged on the door, but he was not admitted becaus> of his conditon, and he spent New Year's Eve in the hallway. Probation Officer Connolly was ealled to testify but Attorney Golon objected to a general statement, whereupon Mr. Greenstein rested for the state and after Attorney Golon rested, Mr. Greenstein asked Judge Baxe to muke a finding. “Guilty” the court replied and Mr. Greenstein called Mr. Connolly to the stand to iake his statement. According to Mr. Connolly, Pior- kowskl has threatened twice to kill his wife and steps were being taken recently to have him committed as #n inebriate. There are nine chil- dren in the family, their ages rang- ing between 6 and 29 years-of age, and they are unable to live In quiet en account of his actions.

The county pays one third of the widow’s pensions and all applications are checked in our office. I am secretary of the board of county commissioners and treasurer of the Hartford county temporary home, Mr. Graham is secretary of the building commis- sion. I “ave nothing to conceal and the records are open for public in- spection. I have been careful to at- tend all committce meetings and eonferences. “As a member of the building eommission of the new ceunty build- ing, I secured the contract for the builders hardware for the Russell & Erwin Manufacturing company in competition with Sargents. Also the valves for Beaton & Cadwell and gave the B. C. Porter Sons an ep- portunity to bid on the furniture in a limited competition. At the re. quest of Richard Covert, state cen- tral committeeman, I put up a fight ° and succeeded in securing the ship- ment of one hundred car loads of stone from Bedford, Indiana, over the New York, New Haven & Hart- ford and Ontario & Western in com- petition with the New York Central and B. & A. on the ground that the New Haven was a Connecticut corporation. The vote was 4 to 3. Also at the request of Dick Covert T secured the position of assistant superintendent of the new county building for TLouis Holt of New Britain and he is now at work.

I have frequent conferences with Miss Ruth Bristoll, the local juvenile prebation officer in regard to commitment of the children to the county home and sometimes miake personal investiga- tions of doubtful cases.

R. CROSSING NOT AMPLY GUARDED (Continued from First Page) Erbe was too busy on the west side of the cromsing to warn Hoffman of the impending danger until the last minute. White Light Showed Erbe's lantern was of the usual type employed by crossing tenders, showing red on one side and white on the other. The red glass was turned away from Hoffman, Mr. Vos said,’and the white light was swal- |lowed up in the glare of headlights. Mr, Hoffman stated today that his vision was clear but that the red warning light was not turned toward him, When Erbe became aware of the Hoffman car, he quickly turned and flashed the red side of the lan- tern. Hoffman stopped within & few feet, Mr. Vos stated, but he was al- |ready on the tracks. His engine ilulled' and the eight occupants piled out hastily just before the on- coming train hit the car. Mr. Vos and his wife stated that Erbe was doing all he could at & job that was too much for one per- son, but they said they believed there should have been 8 man at each side of the crossing. Their |statements were corroborated by Mr. Hoffman. The quick stop of Mr. Hoffman may have prevented a more serious |accident, Mr. Vos said. A car driven |by Harry Carp of Bristol was di- [rectly behind the New Britain ma- |ehine and would have gone into the {tracks had not it been forced to stop when Hoffman applied the brakes, and Carp would not have | had time to fiee his car as the oc- |cupants of the Hoffman machine |did. STATE WILL HAVE BALANCE HALL SAYS (Continucd from First Page) Estimates for the year cnding June 30, 1929, indicate that after providing for deficiencies in current applications and allowing for the completion of the purchase of the proposed state officc building site and the purchase of the airport in Groton, there will be an available cash balance in the general fund of $1,600,000 as of June 30, 1928, which is carried forward in the es- timates for the year ending June $0. 1930. The estimated available resources including available cash balances for the fiscal year 1929-1930 are $37.- 650,000. Those for the fiscal year 1930-1931 are $36,970,000. In estimating these reaeipts the board has made allowance for the probable logs of income from prison labor in the eveat that the Hawes- Cooper bill is enacted and becomes effective during the biennfum. It has also been assumed that the present satisfactory ecopemie condi- tions 4n the state will prevail. For the fiscal year 1929-1930, the board estimates the following expendi- tures: Ordinary recurring expenses and fiyed charzes $21.400,000; capi- tal out lays $12,100,000; centingen- cles $675,000; total $34,175,000. For the fiscal year 1930.19%1, or- dinary recurring expenses and fix- ed charges $21,980,000; capital out lays $13,280.000; contingencies $505,000; total $35.765,000. After making allowance for re- reipts to be added to appropriations it is estimated by the board that the jlable cash of the general fund as of ths close of each fiscal year of the bisnnium will be in ex- cesg of $250,000,000. ORINK WATER IF KDNEYS BOTHER Take a Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Pains or Bladder Is Irritated. Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take |salts occasionally, says a noted au- | thority, who tells us that toe much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts |to expel it from the bloed. They become sluggish 2nd weaken: then |you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in |the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tengue is coat- ed, and when the weather is bad you |have rheumatic twinges. The urine {gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief twe or three times during the night. To help neutralize these irritating acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous | waste, get four ounces of Jad Balts |trom any pharmacy here. Take a | tableapoenful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been useq for years to help flush and stimulate #luggish kidneys; also to neutralize |the acids in the system se they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure and makes a delightful ef- fervescent lithia-water drink.

D. C., Jan. 3.—The Paraguayan Chaco, area of the Bolivian and Paraguayan houndary dispute is no minor morsel of land. A territory more than 100,000 square miles in area, a region larg- er than the States of Pennsylvania and New York combined, is the | subject of controversy. Beginning in 1879 Bolivia Paraguay have repeatedly tried to reach an amicable division of the | ¢haco. An agreement to arbitrate {has been made, hut the dispute has not yet reached an arbitration commission. Indians Roam the Region *The Chaco is an Indian terri- tory,” says a bulletin from the Washington, 1. C. headquarters of the National Geography Seciety, ~and is known as Paraguay Occi- dental, distinguishing it from Para- guay Oriental, lying east of the Paraguay River. “It is a continuation of the gentine Chaco, a low-lying, level, grass-plains country east of the An- des foothills. The disputed arca is la wedge between the Pilcomayo River and tho Paraguay River. roughly an equilateral triangle 500 miles on a side. Previous negotia- tions accepted Rolivia's rights to the base, or northern part of the tri- angle, and Paraguay's rights to the apex. How to make an acceptahle upside down ‘A’ out of this 100,000~ square mile unpartitioned *V' is the question. Lines Drawng “Drawing hound lines in the Paraguayan Chaco has its humorous aspects, Diplomats of the two na- tions drew lines on their maps in 1879, again in 1857, and in 1894, but no surveyor could have heen found to lay out any of the irritat- ing lincs. Loud might Paraguay and Bolivia argue; the Chaco be- longed to the Indians. U'ntil after 1900 few white men hold enough to penetrate the Chaco came back to tell the story. Expedition after ex- pedition, some with as many as two hundred soldicrs, went in and wiped out by the Tndians. Because of the aborigincs the geography of the Chaco remains hazy to this day. “For more than two centuries the Paraguay River scvarated savazery end civilization. Travelers on yp-to- date steamers looked out on one bank and saw the towns and ranches of Spanish Oricntal Para- guay and on the other a shore empty gave for an occasional sil- houette of feathered horsemen bristling with spears, Refuge of Inca Tribes “Two centuries ago the wilderness became a refuge remnants of Inca tribes that fled fpanish oppressors in Rolivia and Peru.

The New Britain police were not notified of the capture and were on the lookout for Briggs and Gonch after they had been caught. Later in the evening the Meriden police inquireg of Lieutenant Bamforth if the capture had been made and word was sent back in the nega- tive. Finally, the Meriden police learned at the reformatory of the capture here and the search was discontinued. Chief W. C.
