TRY TO COLLECT
 DEBT WITH GUN
Then Things Happen That Would
 Shame the Movies

Another chapter in the history of 1 the Coppola-Fa biana family feud was added today in police court when, ! after lengthy hearing characterized by much conflicting testimony and frequent tilts between counsel, Jos- eph Coppola of PA Washington street and Joseph Fabiana of 131 La- fayette street were fined s25 and costs each by Judge James T. Meskill for breach of the peace and assault Coppola, represented by Attorney A. A. Greenberg, took an appeal with bonds fixed at $150. Fabiana was represented by Attorney P. F. Me- Donough. He paid his fine. It was testlned that the accused are the lead CTS of the two factions and were the principals in the fight Thursday noon at Lafayette street in which revol- vers, knives, razors and other weap- ons were used Salvatore Coppola, Salvatore Castanga and John Spaina, who were 'among those present. at the fight, were discharged
 The case was stubbornlya contested by Attorneys Greenberg and McDon- ough, objections were frequently en- tered and Prosecuting Attorney George w. Klett was kept busy acting as peacemaker. Although both ap-. peared for the defense, there was lively battle to determine which of the accused participatd the outbreak. Among the dozen or more witnesses not one was found who did not affirm that he had been a hero in the fight, or tried to be one.
 It developed, from the testimony, that Fabiana set out to collect an al- legged debt from the Coppolas and "packed' along a fully loaded .32 cal iber revolver, two razors and. two sharply pointed files. He contended that they were carried in self defense as he understood that the Coppolas were looking for him.
 It was testified by the other side that Fabiana had threatened to "do away with the entire Coppola family and to shoot the mem bers one by one. The Coppolas testified that Fabiana had waited for Joseph and Salvatore several days and that his actions were highly suspicious. It was alleged that Salvatore Coppola also packed" a loaded revolver and used it threat eningly the day of the fight. This he denied and the allegation was not sub- Stantlated.
 Fabiana testified that he did not draw his revolver until the Coppolas knocked him down and tried to put out his eyes with sharpened nail- pulling machine. Salvatore Coppola admitted that he would have shot his assailant, if he had a gun.
 It was testified that the feud started when Fabiana advanced enough money to bring his sister-in-law, pretty Angelina Baguss, 1 s years old, to New Britain from Italy. He appar- ently did not expect that she go- ing to fall a victim of Cupid right off and was very much provoked when she was married to Salvatore Coppola about a month ago. Since then, it was testified, he has been trying to collect the money paid for the ticket from Coppola and threat enening to do them injury.
 After court, Miss Angelina Coppola, Salvatore sister, complained to Chief of Police Willim J. Rawlings about Fabianas threats and said she feared he would carry them out. She was told to keep the police informed and appeal to them, if there is further trouble.

For fifteen years she has held supervisory and administra- tive positions of responsibility in the schools of Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Arizona. For eight years she has been an active worker in the National Education Association and her address given at the Oakland meeting last year has been published in numbers of the leading educational journals of the country. This month it appears in the Journal of Education, published in Boston.

Arizona in the constructive work done for the schools of the state This new state is about to face number of edu- cational problems that have already come to the older states. Miss Boeh- ringers wide experience and special administrative studies fit her for grappling with these problems.
 The state educational office is the only one being sought by the women of Arizona and the opportunity comes to the voters next Tuesday to elect a woman whose qualifications are away above par.
 It is known to many that the trend of the west is in the direction of recog- nizing the womanhood of the enfran- chised states by electing a qualified woman in the state educational office Washington, Wyoming. Idaho and Colorado all have efficient women in this office. Wyoming and Colorado have elected women to this office for twenty years. Washington, with woman in the state educational office. now holds first rank in the U. s. in public school efficiency. Voters of Arizona, let us seize this opportunity to nominate for State Superintendent of Schools the person whose prepara- tion for this responsible office is of the highest and best.
