BROTHERS CLAIM
 PICKET, NOT KNIFE,
 CAUSED BAD WOUND
Two Held in Bail of $1O,O00 Third Is In the
 Hospital.

Much doubt is expressed as to whether the wound inflicted in the ab- domen. of Carmine DeTuzzi., an Italian painter living at 69 Ives court, during an alteration last evening with An thony and Conc DeTuzzi, brothers of the victim, was caused by a knife in the hands of the be11igerents and the testimony given in the city court this morning along with the statement giv- en by Carnaine to the local police at St. Vincent's hospital, leads to the be lief that the near mortal wound was inflicted by his coming in contact with a sharp pointed picket on the fence.
 Both Anthony and Conc DeTuzzi deny stabbing their brother and have which they claim entered Carmine's body during the struggle which ensaed in front of the residenee of their mother,e Mary DeTuzzi, 36 Commercial street, at g o'clock last evening.
 The DeTuzzi brothers are engaged in the painting business Last even ing, Carn1ine, who is boss of the gang, berated Tony for work he did on a painting job recently in Orchard street. This led to a fight during which Car mine it is now believed, became i'm paIed on a picket which broke with his weight At St. Vincents hospital his condition is reported as very fla vorab1e to recovery.
 In the city court this morning Tony and Conc were ,arraigned before Judge Frank L. Wilder, charged with assault with intent to kill and their eases were continued until one week from Saturday, under bonds of s1o,ooo each.

POLICE
 MISTAKE LEvERTY FOR BOLD BAD MAN
Pharmacy Agent Ha1ed to Police Headquarters As
 Crook.


 Archibald J. Leverty, 62 James street, mentioned prominently in the last contest for the Democratic town chairmanship,g was arrested yesterday in Stanford, s1on the suspicion that he was collecting money under false pre- lenses.
 Although MT Leverty was. released immediately after being brought be- fore Chief William Brennan of the Stamford police department, he had the experience of being tapped on the shoulder by a policeman and carted to police Headquarters.
 Mr. Leverty is the agent of the Con- nectieut State Board of Pharmacy in it's campaign to warn the storekeepers who violate the recently adopted law that prevents the sale of proprietary medicines and compounds without a permit and without the name of a li- censed druggist on the packages. The pharmacy board is allowing a reason able time for grocers and other unll- censed persons to get rid of their stock of medicines before prosecution. So many expressed the desire to pay the license fee immediately, that MT Leverty had been collecting permit money on his rounds of the stores In one of the Stamford groceries, the proprietor doubted the credentials car rieda by MT. Leverty, but he paid. Then he tipped off another grocer that a stranger was collecting money, repre- senting himself as an agent of the

"Gus" Ganung Escapes
 From State Hospital
 And Is Caught Again

August Ganung,. a former resident of this city committed to the State hospital at Middletowna about two years ago, escaped from the asylum Tuesday evening and was arrested at Waterbury last evening. When cap tured he claimed that he was un1a.w- fully committed to the state institu- ton. The asylum authorities were notified of his capture and this
 morning they returned him to Middle town where he will undergo another examination by the asylum physicians. Tn the meantime Probate Judge Paul Miller, of this city, has issued a re- straining order which will keep Ga- nung at the asylum until the finding of the examining physicians has been returned after which a recomnaitt- ment order will most 1ke1y be issued.
 Gannng was operated upon several times while he lived in Bridgeport. because prominent surgeons thought he had an abnormal brain and that an operation would relieve pressure of a. bone on his brain, which was be- lieved to have given him criminal tn dencies. He was arrested several times as "a user of narcotics. a==s

WAR DEPARTMENT GETTING DATA ON
 MUNIT ION PLANTS

Washington, Aug. 12-Announces ment that the War Department had asked American manufacturers Of TFaF munitions for data as to their facilities for, furnishing supplies, particularly in the event of an emergency. led to some speculation here today, aTthough on cials explained that hhe action was in accordance with the usual practice both in normal times and in war The announcement declared emphaticsllv that no purchases Of war supplies was contemplated at present
 The step, it is explained. was made necessary because of the fact that practically every private plant in the country is taxed to it's capacity filling orders for the Warrfng nations of Eur ope. General induiry has been. insti- tuted to ascertain whether ezpansion of facilities has kept pace with the demand and whether the government would be certain of a source of sup ply to supplement the output of -fts4 arsenals and armories. which ordinar- fly produce only a part of the supplies needed.
 It is expected that Congress at It's forthcoming session will enact Iegis-' lation to strengthen the national deE lenses necessitating increased de nands for supplies aside from any emergency that may arise.
