FIXING RESPONSIBILITY
FOR ADVERTISING FRAUDS

Hartford, March 1.-THE newspapers

State Business Mems Association was
sponsor Of the bill which brought out
the newspapers and the latter built a
sort of annex to the measure and this
was accepted by the business men,
House Bill 125 provides for a penalty

or by placard, sign or otherwise. -
Ralph o. wells OF this city ap-
peared for the business men and said
the bill is a. copy of the Maseachu-

also the so-called sample" shoe

JudSon And Pullman
Leaving Today For
Fornight's Outing

States Attorney stiles Judson and
City Attorney John S. Pullman left
today for a vacation trip to Ber-
muda. They plan to be gone about
two weeks. The States Attorney has
been working very hard at the pres
emit session OF the criminal Superior
court and this in connection with his
numerous engagements in the civil
courts, has caused him to think that
he needs brief rest.
The trial of Theodore Raymond,
which closed yesterday, was a long
one requiring a. great deal Of prep
aration. Another case which kept
Attorney Judson busy was the matter
of Joseph Moran of Stratford, charged
with bigamy. Moran was found guilty
by a. jury but the verdict was set
aside by Judge Greene yesterday af-
ter a motion by counsel for the ac-
cused, who claimed the evidence re-
garding Moran's first marriage was
insufficient. Moran knew the State
could strengthen its case, however. so
he pleaded guilty and was sentenced
to States prison for not more, than
two and not less than one year.
Bench warrants against the New
Haven railroad officials charged with
responsibility for the Westport wreck
were also sworn out by the States

WOOD CLAIMS NEW RECORD
Although Aviator Lost Out In Race
Against Train.

Against Train.
c. Marvin Wood, flying in a Moisant
monoplane, broke the no stop record
for a distance run, according to his
own claim. The official record hereto
fore was 224 miles. Wood figures he
covered 2S7 miles.
Wood did not follow exactly the
program he had laid out for himself
of racing a Pennsylvania railroad flyer
from New York to Washington. He
made a brave start from Hampstead,
L. l., but got lost in the fogs of lower
New York bay and although he fol-
lowed with reasonable accuracy the
route Of the Pennsylvania from New
York to Baltimore he never once
sighted his pacemaker. Confused by
the maze Of tracks around Baltimore
Wood landed at Gaithersburg, Md,
twenty-eight miles north of this city.
He had been in the air continually for
4 hours and As minutes. His claim
to having t~raversed 2S7 miles is open
to further analysis.

Followed BY impeachment Action
Governor William Suffers specula
tions in the New York stock marke
came out in the open before the join
Legislative investigating committee.
The testimony showed the governor
a heavy loser and indicated that Will,
he had a $685. debit against hin
with n exchange firm he used cam
paign contributions to speculate will
another broker.
A clerk for a stock exchange house
identified mysterious Account No
800" as Suffers and a member of an.
other firm, Melville Fuller, not only
admitted that Sulzer had been a Gus
toner with a debit account running
to nearly $50, 900, but added that he
was testifying with lips unsealed" at
the governors suggestion.
The clerk who testified said he had
been told that Account No. 500" was
the governors by his employer, who
added that he was proud to have the
governors account"
Further testimony was adduced, and
a list of checks introduced, tending to
show that part of the speculation was
carried on with funds contributed to
Suffers gubernatorial campaign. None
of these checks was reported in the
governors sworn statement Of cam.
paign contributions. This, according
to counsel for the committee, con
stitutes violation of the corrupt prac'
tees act, conviction on which would
mean automatic disbarment from
holding any public Office.
There is a good reason to believe
that the report of the Frawley com.
mittee will amount to a demand for
Impeachment and that after receiving
it there will be nothing for the lower
house of the legislature to do but
order that Governor Sulzer be put on
trial before the court of impeachment,
which consists of the senate and the
court of appeals, sitting together. The
court of appeals, o in recess, will
not until next month. Inc
governors trial, therefore, could not
begin at once.
Whether or not the committee will
come back to this city to dig deeper
into the relations between the gov
ernor's campaign checks and his ad-
ventures with stock brokers is to be
determined at a meeting on Monday.
Probably it will not.
The committee has heard that the
governor in his sworn statement failed
to include twenty-five or thirty checks
in addition to those already exhibited
at the hearings, but all of them are
for small sums. The committee and
its counsel believe that their east is
proved and that further evidence
would be mere duplication.

August Dog Days Are Busy Days Here

There seems to be no end to the understandable, to be
sure-yet often such as can be used until late into the Fall,
which are continually finding their way to the bargain tables.
Indeed, it is q doubtful. if there is another time in the whole year
when such exceedingly wantable merchandise, and so much of
it, can be picked up for such trihing sums.
Add to the attraction OF these August economies the lure
OF broad stocks kept up to the minute-a store that is roomy
