Set at One of the most sordid cases yet 1o come to the attention of the local police and involving alleged crimi- nal abuse of two little girls was brought to light today following an investigation nto the disappearance of two Plainville children which was Instituted by Detective Sergeant Ellinger after he had been informed of the situation yesterday by Con- stable George Schubert of Plainville. Schubert reported to the local po- lice that John Posadas, Canal street, Plainville, had complained to him that two of his daughters, aged 12 and 13, had been missing from their home since last Wednesday after- noon. The younger of the two girls is alleged to have returned to her home sometime yesterday and after hearing her story, the police set about on the new angle of the in- vestigation which resulted in the arrest today of Michael Motto, about 20 years of age, who is al- leged to reside on Dwight street, this city. He was booked on the charge of indecent assault after he was questioned at the local police station and following the story re- lated to the police by the 12 year old girl. The other man arrested gave his name as Lewis Megdalis and his address as £¢ Church street. Both of the men are believed by the police to be married. Motto picked the two little girls up after they had been dismissed from a Plainville school last Wed- nesday afternoon and is alleged to have driven them in company with “another man who is still being sought by the police to a house at 91 Putnam street, this city, where the assaults are alleged to have taken place. Megdalis is being held on a tech- nical charge of breach of the peace ‘pending the finding of the older of the two sisters, who is still at lib- erty. Officers William Hayes and Joseph Gigliotti arrested Motto while Ser- geant Michael Flynn brought in Megdalis. Both men are being held under bonds of $2,000. SHOTS FAIL TO HALT REFORM SCHOOL BOYS Fugitives From Meriden | Institution Escape in Newington Officer Edward Musczynski was detailed by Lieutenant Mathias Ri- val at 5:30 last night to search about the South street neighborhood in the hope that he might find the trail of three boys who were report- ed missing from the Meriden School for Boys. As the officer was driving on Maple Hill he spotted the youths and stopped. As he was attempting to get out of the car one of the boys recognized him and sounded the alarm with the result that all three ran away in the direction of New- ington. Musczynski got in touch with | Constable Walsh of Newington and both officers rode about the back roads in the vicinity of the Sequin golf links for an hour or more be- fore finding any further trace of the boys. They finally saw them as they were driving along Willard avenue. ‘When they were about 200 feet away frcm the boys the youths ran into the swamps along the road with the officers in close pursuit. Con- stable Walsh fired six shots into the air to frighten the boys and cause them to stop. They continued on into the woods and according to the of- ficer's report had not been caught| when he left the scene shortly be-| fore 9 o’clock. Constable Walsh in the meantime had recruited Constables Olsen and Dessell to aid in the search and they continued to scour through thej ‘woods. Meriden, Oct. 10 (F)—A statewide search was under way today for six inmates of the Connecticut State School for Boys who escaped from | the institution. Two of the boys some time last night climbed through a window in their cottage and fled under cover of darkness. They had been pre- ceded by three others earlier in the daz and one on Tuesday, Escape from the school which is not modeled along prison lines is comparatively easy, as no elaborate guard system is used, officials said.

NORTHEND DISTRICT SCHOOL DENOUNCED Photo, Parents Make Heated Plea fo| Board of Education INSIST ON NEW BUILDING| Four Year Fight for Impwovement Climaxed by Appearance of Dele- gation Before Board of Educa- tion at Meeting Today. “We're on the war path and we intend to fight for improved school | accommodations in our district,” President Francis A. Clark of the Northend School Parents and Teach- ers’ association said today in an- nouncing that 15 or 20 parents will appear at this afternoon’s school meeting and demand a new building on Bassett street. At least five of the group will make a plea and will take up var- ious phases of the need. The entire group visited the Linceln school re- cently and then went to the Nor- thend school. The spokesmen will make ..comparisons of the two buildings and will point out the great advantages enjoyed by children in the west end school as compared with the Northend school children who live in the southern section of New Britain. Mother Will Withdraw Children One mother announced she would positively take her children out of | the school and keep them home rather than subject them to the odors and diseases she claims pre- vail in the building. Another family s planning on moving out of the district because of the inferior &c- commodations there, it is said. That the parents’ protest will be with emphasis was indicated by Mr. Clark. They have reached the point where they believe the present school 1s unsuitable for children. They argue that the bond market is at its best point and bonds could be sold to advantage if the school board agrees to go ahead with the construction plan. The unemploy- ment conditions would be relieved to a certain extent if the school were built, they claim. Fight is Four Years Old Four years ago the parents began the fight for a new building. 'l‘he school board spent money to repair the structure but that did not stop | the parents in their demands for a new building. Petitions have been sent to the board and at the No- vember meeting of last year, three representatives, President Clark, T. W. Hinchcliffe and Benjamin F.| Clark made pleas. A definite plan has been mapped out and the Parents and Teachers’ association representatives will pre- sent it this afternoon. Several ex- | ecutive meetings the plan was being arranged.

Hun- dreds of cases, hospital officlals said, had been treated in their out-patient departments. It was belleved that the total treated since last Saturday night would run close to 600 per- sons. Prohibition Administrator Lewis had today denied a “hands off” policy for the Legion convention and said that the arrest of intoxi- cated persons was purely a local po- lice function. He was explicit in not blaming conditions on the Le- gion, stating that it was apparent that there had been an effort on the part of liquor peddlers to capitalize the big celebration.

MANNING (Washington Bureau, N. B. Herald) Washington, D. C., Oct. 10—Con- tinuing its bitter attack on the plan of the state of Massachusetts to di- vert water from the Ware and Swift | rivers to augument Boston's water supply, Connecticut, through its spe- cial counsel, Benedict M. Holden, has filed in the United States supreme court 75 exceptions to the findings of the special master fn the contro- versy, Charles W. Bunn. These exceptions go into every phase of Bunn's report, attacking findings of law as well as findings of fact, and even questioning the ne- cessity of the proposed project it- self. Holden has also questionsd the findings with reference to its effect on navigation and power cemacity as well as pollution, irrigaticn and fish life. Chiet among complaints registered by counsel for Connecticut was that the finding of the master that the plan, as provided for in the laws of Massachusetts, was to divert the “flood waters” of the Ware river, is in error. Holden also charges that there is error in the finding that the amount of water to be withdrawn by Massa- chusetts is two per cent of the av- erage normal flow; that the maxi- mum diversions are at high water, and that it is the plan of the above state to take no more water than has been authorized by the secretary of war. With respect to the question of the law of navigable streams, coun- sel for Connecticut contends that the master is in error in his determina- tion that one state may divert waters of an interstate stream into a water- shed other than it own, without the xpress permission of both the states hrough which the stream passes in its normal flow. Challenged also was the ruling of | the master that, in so far as power capacity is concerned, Connecticut resources are not damaged and citi- zens of that state may be compelled to accept a financial settlement for property rights damaged. Attorney General Joseph E. Warner, of Massachusetts, recently filed a motion to schedule the case for hearing in the high court at which time he stated he had no in- | tention of filing exceptions to the re- port of the master, _ The coffins, resting on a purple, amounting to from five to six inches; | ‘DIP’ IMPRISONED FOR TAKING PURSE: Pickpocket Who Robbed Local Man Faces Boston Court LEGIONNAIRES BACK HOME | Eddy-Glover Post Members Who | ‘Went to Convention Return on Special Train and Declare Hub Is Great City.

Another Step in Fight The filing of today’s notice of the intention of the attorney general to appeal to the supreme court of errors is another step in the legal controversy in which Prof. Levitt seeks to compel the attorney general to file complaint in the superior court With a view to ousting the members of the public utilities com- | mission for alleged material neglect | of duty. | In commenting on the filing of the ‘appe&l today, Colonel Averill said | the real point at issue, so far as it | concerns the office of the attorney general, appears to have been lost sight of in the general considera- tion of the question relating to the members of the public utilities com- mission. The issue, 5o far as it concerns his office, is a determina- tion of the question whether alle- | gations in a petition such as was [flled by Prof. Levitt, must not be rue. “In the original petition,” said Colonel Averill, “several allegations were made of claimed material neg- |lect of duty on the part of the | members of the public utilities com- | mission. The attorney general in- | vestigated the allegations and found them to be untrue. The superior court held that the filing of & pe- tition, signed by at least 100 electors, required the attorney general to file complaint in the superior court, and the supreme court of errors held that such a complaint must be filed | unless the allegations contained in the petition ‘are manifestly untrue.” “The supreme court decision was right and proper in determining the point then at issue, but the question | of whether a complaint must be filed when the attorney general knows the allegations are manifestly untrue has not been determined.

Representative Thure Bengtson and his colleague, Representative William F. Lange, defeated Willlam J. Quigley, in the republican pri- maries held from 4 to 8 p. m. yes- terday in this city, to nominatg can- didates for representatives at the state election in November. The to- tals in the six wards were: Bengtson 1,509, Lange 1,331, Quigley 737. The three candidates were at re- publican headquarters shortly after 8 o'clock, but the first ward to come in, the sixth, did not report until after 8:30 o'clock, and it was 9:20 before the second ward, the last to report officially, was brought in. The race in the three upper wards was close, the totals for the fourth, fifth and sixth being: Bengtson, 489; Lange, 470; Quigley 445. Quigley gained by chief strength in the fifth ward. ‘When the results in the third ward came in, about 9 o'clock, Quigley fell far behind, and then when the results of the first ward were officially annournced, and Quig- ley saw that he had no chance to be a candidate on the republican ticket, he stepped forward and congratu- lated Mr. Bengtson and Mr. Lange, and told all present that he will go out and work for the election of the nominees over the democratic party candidates. Bengtson’s Friends Aroused The strength shown by Represen- tative Bengtson was not surprising to his workers, who were confident that the vote in the first and third wards alone would be sufficient to nominate him over Quigley, and as the voting turned out they were cor- rect, Bengtson receiving 524 in the first, his home ward, and 300 in the third. The drive against Bengtson had the effect of rousing his sup- porters in all sections of the city, and one of the features of the pri- mary was Quigley’s defeat in the second ward, the home ward of Mayor Quigley. Despite the strenu- ous efforts of the Quigley organiza- tion, the candidate polled only 121 votes in that ward, where Mayor Quigley personally directed the cam- paign. Sixth Ward Fails Quigley Another surprise to political ob- servers was Quigley's poor showing in the sixth ward, where he received only 78 votes.
