MAN STABBED BY DINNER GUEST
 MAY NOT LIVE
Former City Sheriff Capozzi Is Held In $1, 500 for
 Stabbing

John Capozzi, former City Sheriff, and also former special policeman, today made a statement from his cell at police headquarters to the effect that he was not responsible for the stab wounds found upon Leonardo Mainiero his political rival who is in a critical condition at the Bridge port hospital.
 Capozzi was held in bail of $1,5OO for hearing in the city court Satur- day on the charge of assault with in- tent to kill. Mainiero's condition is regarded as critical, for today he ex- perienced much difficulty in breath ing. It is feared that a stab wound over the heart penetrating between the third and fourth ribs may have penetrated the lung while danger is infection is feared for another deep wound in his left groin.
 CapozZi was one of a committee of arrangements for a complimentary banquet rendered Louis Mainiero. a cousin of his alleged victim, at Leh- mann's Shore House last night. Leon ardo Mainerio, a brother, and friend were on the car with CapozZi, due at the railroad station at mid night. returning from the dinner. Ca pozzi lives at 8S Madison avenue, and ordinarily would have remained on the car to get to his home. But he alighted at East Main street, along with his cdmpatriots.
 How the lbattle started the police When Leonardo reached the Second precinct station, supported by his brother and another man, he was bleeding from a wound over the heart and one in the left groin and was so weak that Sergeant O'Connell prompt 1y called the ambulance corps.
 Mainerio said Capozzi was the man who had stabbed him and several policemen were at once sent SCOUT ing the neighborhood for him. Ser geant Hazel met Capozzi and two others in East Washington avenue, near Hallett street, and placed Capoz- zi under arrest. N He searched >Capoz- zi, but found no weapon, not even knife.
 Mainerio was in the operating room at the hospital when Capozzi was talk en there in the automobile patrol in custody of Sergeant Hazel. Mainiero looked at CapOZzi for a moment, said Hes the man" and Capozzi was re- turned to the second precinct charg7
 "We had all been drinking" said Capozzi today. 'I don't know just how the trouble started, but I do know I had no knife. Look at this. He stretched out his blood st ed left hand and showed a gash C. one of the fingers. If had the knife I wouldn't be cut, would I?
 ''They got me down and kicked me" he added, displaying scratches and bruises on his face and hands as proof of the rough treatment he charged.
 Bad blood has existed between the two, 1t Is said, because Mainiero se- cured a position in the street depart ment as foreman for which Capozzi had been striving.
 Capozzi's wife recently became vio- Iently insane and nearly choked one of their little children to death when neighbors interfered. She has re- covered however and is now living at Madison avenue. Capozzi has been in trouble with the police several times.
 Mainfero Is 32, married, has chill dren and lives at 134 Howe St.

ARNOLD NOT
 A CANDIDATE Former Senator in 22nd District Viii Not Accept a Re-
 Nomination

Senator Thomas Arnold, Jr., who has been considered the most likely nomi- nee of the Republican party for re- nomination in the 22d district, has mo- tified the party managers who have urged him to enter the race this fall that he cannot accept another nomina- tion for that office. Senator Arnold told a Farmer reporter last evening that h4made up his mind not to run for the Senate this fall and while he appreciated the interest shown by his friends he had determined on his course.
 Senator Arnold could in all likeli- hood have had the nomination without moving a finger for 1t had he cared to make known his willingness to run. Now that he is out of the race there is talk of naming either Prosecuting Attorney Alexander Delaney or Julius Tesiny. The latter would like the nomination very much, while MT. De- Laney would run only at the urgent request of his party.

ROOSEVELT WOULD
 ERADICATE EVILS
Discusses the Constitutions Soon to Be Adopted By New States of Arizona and New Mexico

Denver, Aug. 3o-When Theodore Roosevelt's train pulled out of Denver this morning the Colonel had deter mined on reaching Pueblo to discuss the constitution soon to be adopted by the new States of Arizona and New Mexico.
 Colonel Roosevelt expected to argue in favor of an elastic and easily amended constitution for each State. He believesthat even in the best of constitutions evil points may crop in and if the constitution is tied up by a clause making amendment difficult or impossible the people are practical ly pOwerless to correct these evils. The Colonel was expected to say that in constitution making the idea should be progressive throughout and as the Colonel is said to have expressed him. self privately, that "a dead hand should not be laid on a. new State.''
 After his brief address at the lay ing of the cornerstone of the Y. M. c. A. at Pueblo, Roosevelt will leave this afternoon for Ossawatomie, Kas.,- which he will reach tomorrow morn- ing sfresss V
 At last nights banquet United States Senator Guggenheirn, one of the seven Guggenheim brothers, was a prominent figure and he had an opportunity to hear James R. Garfield and Clifford Pinchot champions of the Progressive Conservation ideas, attack the Ba1lin- ger conservation idea behind which. it has been charged, the Guggenheims and J. P. Morgan stand.

STAMFORD "OLD GUARD" FACING CONTEST WITH
 DISSATISFIED CITIZENS

Much of thes opposition to the ~Osd Guard" grows out of it's selfish att tude toward opening up Barnurn ave nue to trolley cars. Many of the cst- izens believe that the politicians wanted to keep the trol1eys out to keep the population of the town down and themselves in power.
 The name of Arthur Sammfs is much heard as a possible candidate for selectmen against the machine Sammis is an accountant, and a fear less and competent citizen. He got in bad with the "old guardn some time since when he insisted on the probe for certain accounts
 Another element that seeks change in local government are the law and order people who claim that liquors are freely dispensed in certain un1f- censed places, with the tacit consent of the authorities.
 In contrast, attention is called to the punishment inflicted on a citizen whose dog parked and the success that greets the efforts of Stratford justice when 1t drags hoboes off pass ing railr1aG trains.

Special to The Farmer.)


 Stratford, Aug. 30.-The s'old guard", whose motto is i've always surrender to the corporations" but never resign from office," has called a caucus for Thursday night, when they propose to do up the whole bus mess, naming a town ticket, as we'll as men for state and county places. The fact that town offices are to be named in the same caucus as state offices has caused a protest from the young element, which will be fncreas- ed soon by the accession of 40 or 50 new Republican voters who would participate in naming candidates for town office, if the caucus for this purpose were put over as it should be.
 Opposition will be made in the eau GUS. Much of it is directed at Judge of Probate Charles H. Peck, upon the ground that there is "too much Peck" Judge Peck not only holds the pro-, bate office, but the office of repre- sentative 7.n-7 is said to desire to continue to hold both these places.
