A hundred years from now historians will say that was the most barbarous age of modern enlightenment.” Tydings traced deaths from alco- colism from 2,611 in 1910 to a low point of 680 in 1920 and a high point of 3,185 in 1928. He said ar- rests for drunkenness in 385 cities rose from 465,763 in 1914 down to 201,339 in 1920 and back up to 466,- 806 in 1 L From his figures he concluded 1,- §00,000 persons in the United States were arrested for drunkenness last year, or one of every 66 men, wom- cn and children in the country.

A committee of five members of th: council was appointed by Mayar : Quigley to investigate the matter. $17,900 Spont on the Project “On December 15, 1915, this com- mittee reported to the coumncil the expenditures of $17,900 or the city's money in the ic2 business. They recommended that the city continue to harvest ice and that the boari of finance and taxation be request- ed to appropriate $6,000, in the budget of 1916 for repairs. This committee also recommended that the board of public works include in their budget of 1916, $3,000 for a road from Schultz’s Corner to the ice house. The motion was made that the board of water commis- sioners appear before the board of finance and taxation immediately for an appropriation to\make re- Jair: There was considerable dis- cussion concerning the malter i the council, several of the mem- bers feeling that it was useless to spend any more money. When the vote was about to be taken, and it appeared doubtful that it wouldl pass, Mayor Quigley left his chair and talked from the floor of the council chamber in favor of the ap- propriation and urged its adoption. The result was that it was carried and in December 29, 1915, a special meeting of the common council was called and a special tax was levied in order to appropriate $4,- 100 for the repairing of the ic2 house. “So you see, there is the record of his own action as mayor, and when I say he plunged us into the ice business, I say the record proves it. Record of Potato Business “He plunged us into the potato business, too, but he hasn't said anything about that. He raised 3,102 bushels on 43 acres and bought 4,- 536 bushels, a total of 7,638 bush- els, and we had to hire a man to take them out of cellars, including his own, and put them on the dumps. For that reason, I say he is not only extravagant and wasteful, but inefficient as well. And be care- ful of what he says because he is also extravagant in speech. “Mr. Quigley insists the water question is not an issue in this cam- paign. As I told the workers down Look out for your little homes. Let us first pro- tect and secure the water rights we now have and we will have enough for the present. Then let us go on with whatever negotiations is to be carried on, but be careful who we have in office. Don't let Quigley's crowd get control of that water board! Don't let them get at the sewer contracts! If you do. you'll pay and pay right through the pocketbook. “Quigley but when he had the opportunity he didn't do it. He says he will reduce taxes, but when he was in oftice he doubled taxation, and now he comes to you and says you didn't mind pay- ing it then because times were good |and wages were high. Be careful of that sublety. Does he mean that he makes times good, or that I can make them bad? “During this campaign I will stick closely to the record and T will make him stick to his own record of three terms in office. And on Friday night, I will speak at the Senior High school auditorium and will have plenty more to tell of his record and achievements in office.” Attorney McDonough was intro- duced this noon by Mayor Paonessa who thanked the L. T. & C. work ers for the cooperation given him and urged the election of McDon- ough. Quigley Hoarseness Victim His voice sq hoarse that he was barely able to speak above a whis- per, former Mayor Quigley was able to talkk for about two minutes at a noon day rally at the Stanley Works, but during that time he took a sharp rap at his democratic opponent, At- torncy P. F. McDonough when he said “Don’t believe all the things that McDonough is trying to tell you.” His voice broke several times dur- ing his talk and with the further handicap of a high wind it was with difficulty that he was able to deliver hia message. He urged the voters to come to the polls and vote for him. He apol- ogized because he was not able to speak longer because of the condi- tion of his throat. Chairman Harry Ginsburg of the republean town committee was in charge of the rally and he introduced Mr. Quigley, William H. Day, candi- date for comptroller, and Donald L. Bartlett, defeated candidate for the republican nomination for mayor. Mr. Day’s talkk was given along the same line as that which he delivered at the Landers, Frary & Clark gate. He =aid the republicans will give the people an energetic, economic and cfficient administration if they are clected to office. Bartlctt Addresses Co-Workers Mr. Bartlett gave the feature talk to his fellow Stanley Works em- ployes after he was introduced by At- torney Ginsburg as a good sport and a good republican, In opening his talk he said he and Mr. Quigley had a little go" last week but it was within the ranks of the republican party. The party wanted Mr. Quigley e was per- fectly satisfied, Mr. Bartlett said. He asked that all who voted for him at the primary, vote for Mr. Quigley and the entire republican ticket at the election next Tuesday. He said the city was facing some problems in the next two Yyears. Sewage disposal and water supply re major items, he said. Mr. Bart- lett said other cities have looked ahead 75 years while New RBritain W only go cight years with its present water supply. “You want a man in the mayor talks of T(’asscssmcx\Li chair who is experienced and re- sponsible, and there is no man who is more capable than George Quig- ley. He has had the experience in past years and has studied the sub- Jjects,” Mr. Bartlett said. In conclusion he urged his lis- teners tb elect a man who knows what he is doing when he serves the city. “Pull the top lever,” was his parting advice. Mr. Quigley will speak at the Russell & Erwin gate tomorrow noon, but no decision has been reached relative to his Friday and Monday talks. It is expected that he will speak on both of those days, however. COURT WAITS UNTIL SQUAW IS RECOVERED (Continued From First Page) guilty to a lesser charge than first degree murder. From Buffalo City hospital, where the former model of Henri Marchand, artist and husband of-the dead woman, was taken when she collapsed yesterday, came encour- aging reports. Attaches there said she was sitting up in bed, but still was “very sick.” They promised to have her in court this afternoon ‘it humanly possible.” Lila's trial has progressed to the point where counsel are ready to start summation. After the jury brings in a verdict on the charge that she conspired to have Mrs. Marchand murdered because of her love for the artist, the state still must dispose of the charges against Mrs. Nancy Bowen, an aged illiter- ate squaw. It was Mrs. Bowen who confessed that she beat Mrs. Marchand with a hammer and strangled her with chloroform. Through an interpreter, the old Indian told how Lila had ictured Mrs. Marchand as a ‘witch” who must be killed before she spread death through the reser- vation where Nancy lived. At first Nancy had employed magic charms in an attempt to drive the life out of Mrs. Marchand. TFailing in that, she started for the Marchand home on the morning of March 6, carry- ing a basket containing magic earth, a hammer and chloroform. Mrs. Marchand was playing the radio—a devil's box which Nancy had never seen before—when the old Indian entered. The squaw wished to make certain that this ‘was the “white witch” before she proceeded to the Killing. “Are you,” she asked Mrs. chand, naively, “a witch?” Carelessly, as if trying to humor the old Indian, Mrs. Marchand an- swered, “Yes. So Nancy beat her to death, pour- ed chloroform down her throat and was gratified to note that when the Mar- witch died the *‘devil’s box™ stopped shrieking. In the struggle Mrs. Marchand had knocked over and smashed the radio. YANCEY SAFE AT BERMUDA HARBOR (Continued From at a low height, about 100 feet above the surface of the sea.
