WOMAN RETRACTS
 THEFT COMPLAINT
Mrs. Bielor Tells Court She
 Loaned Prisoner $40O

After filing a complaint with the authorities last July accusing Krikos Ragdasarian of the theft of $4OO, Mrs. Blanche Bielor of 134 Winter street again came to his rescue in police court this morning, informing Judgo James T. Meskill that she only loaned him the money because he was ill and needed hospital treatment. As ta result of her testimony, given with great apparent reluctance and only as a result of close questioning by Pros ecutlng Attorney George w. Klett, the accused was discharged following a finding of no probable cause. The ar 1aignment was another chapter, the police say, il one of the Queerest and most unexplainable cases with which they have been brought in contact
 Mrs. BielOr appeared to have a vague idea relative to the alleged theft and had to have her memory prod ded continually by Prosecutor Klett. She persisted in her contention that the money was only loaned, that she has recovered a part of it and only wanted the authorities to locate I<ri- kos and collect from him. Judge B. F. Gaffncy appeared for the defense, his appearance resulting from Mrs. Bielor's seeking his aid.
 Bagdasarian was arrested in Wor- cester, Mass, and returned to this city by Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth. In court today he showed no signs of his two attempts at sui eide by hanging in a cell yesterday.
 Last spring he was arraigned in ,+oh came to his rescue that time, re- talned an attorney and paid the fine.
 Tony Karpenski of s2 Silver street, charged with assault upon Tony Pey- scemsl1i, was discharged after being warned to behave himself hereafter when out 10 Q party. It was testified that William Bogasz invited them to his home and the trouble started soon afterwards. The accused claimed self defense.
 James Madden was sent to jail for 10 days for breach of peace at his home at 99 Franklin street where his wife is reported as being seriously Ill. His daughter and son testi ed that he caused much trouble at home yesterday, refused to allow their mother any quiet and called her bad names. Prosecutor Klett said that MaOOGn n0S gwen 1nuCn CrOuDle or late and said that almost every man on the police force has been called in at some time or another to check his activities along undesired lines.
 Hearing of assault charges against David Gorfain of 55 Oak street vas continued until Monday upon his re- quest for time to get witnesses He is accused of treating Mrs. Mollie Seick- man of 58 Snalley street roughly.

VOICES GRATITUDE
 FOR THANKSGIVING
Mrs. ]. A. Traut Thanks All Who
 Contributed to Hospital

Mrs J. A. Traut, who did so much the New Britain General hospital a { pleasant one, has prepared the fol- lowing statement for publication, voicing her thanks and the thanks of all others interested in this philan- thropical movement:
 Never since the foundation of our hospital was the appeal for Thanks giving day and harvest time dona- tions met with such generous impul- sive considerate response.
 "F'Or two days nurses, assistants, di- rectors, owners of automobiles and Walker & Co.'s teams were calling for, delivering, counting, itemizing and listing the bounteous store of dO- 1 nations. To enum crate them all, gifts and giVerS, in the columns Of our gen. 1 erous papers would be imposing on ! good nature. plan had been de- vised by which each donor receives a card of thanks from the hospital di- rect-that, too, has shown itself to be impra ctical, because many ad- dresses were omitted where the names were inscribed on the package, many packages were simply marked "a friend" The committee on dOna- l tions begs the public's indulgence Tor any omissions that are sure to occur
 under the above explained c1rcum- 1 stances. Ono and all who have so loV- ! ingly and thoughtfully contributed, i citizens and out-of-tOWn donors, all 1 are assured of the deep gratitude of
 the inmates of tho New Britain Gen | eral hospital. Not one of the one
 hundred and four inmates but had his
 share of the good things provided for i them, barring of course those patients 1 whose diet was closely confined. i Everybody else had turkey, all the
 turkey they should and could have, and everybody was made as happy as ! their conditions would allow
 lover two hundred names would need to be printed of donors of private
 citizens-think of the task, loving
 though it be, for a paper to state the
 gift of each giver.

 ton with generous supplies, filling an

STILL THERE ARE FOLKS.
Who Say Husbands Are of No
 Earthly Use.

No longer are police court sessions going to be interrupted by the crying of infants even if their mothers are summoned to appear as witnesses. For some time past, especially in non- support cases, infants in arms as well as those able to toddle about, have caused annoyance.
 This morning woman appeared ac- companied by two children. They caused no disturbance before court and did not appear likely to but Chief Rawlings and Prosecutor Klett took no chances. Fortunately the wo- man was accompanied by "hubby' and he was delegated to act as nurse while the presence of his better half was needed in court

automobile, thoughtfully delivered by the donors.
 Monetary contributions also were received to the amount of $34 dollars from friends. We trust it will meet with their approval that this donation be used to cover some lasting need for the hospital instead of purchasing g viands with the same. It is the hos pitfalls desire to be worthy of it's gen. erous donors by practising frugality in the right place.
 Bristol and Plainville directors of our hospital provided ice cream, and delicious it was, too, for the whole in stitutiOn, and a large amount of table dainties Whetted the appetite of those gathered around the festive board.
 Every one was remembered and a visit to the hospital by chairman proved a deNght-so many smiling faces gratifed to have been remem- bered; greeted the caller.
 '"The school children, God bless their generous hearts, vied with one another in trying to give their best on this occasion. A list covering forty eight typewriter pages giving names and donors and their con- tributions has been the conscientious work of the hospital employees. Not one will be forgotten, none omitted so far as human effort at accuracy goes. Recognition by cards will be made later to each school.
 The innovation of Neighbcrhood collections has indeed proved a great success.
 The impression is held by some of the Thanksgiving Day donors that the material sent in is intended for inn mediate use. While of course it takes a large supply to furnish one too i'll to partake of general diet-say ninety four persons with a real Thanksgiving dinner, the amounts of groceries and edlbles in general far exceeded the possl b1lity of immediate consumption Truly 1t was Harvest Festival, With the result that promises to last so far as Jellles and canned goods, groceries, are concerned through the greater part of the winter. For which each and all of the inmates of the New Britain General hospital give thanks to the public for it's generous, warm heart response to the appeal made in it's behalf through the newspapers churches and schools of our city and in neighboring towns to whom the sincere appreciation of the hospital executive board is herewith extended

PROMINENT ISIPLEMANT
MAN VISITING HERE

j. A. Craig of Evansville, Wis,
an extensive manufacturer of farm
machinery and former president of
the National Implement and Vehicle
Manufacturers association, is the
guest of H. J. Hodge. His visit is
in connection with association mat
tiers.
When asked if the dealers were
not making a pretty vigorous pro-
test on account of the advancing
prices on everything in the farm
equipment line, Mr.. Craig said they
were and that it was a matter Of
as much regret to the manufactur
er as to the dealer and farmer, but
that the manufacturers are power
less to help II, as the price of all
material has advanced and that the
increased cost of steel alone is 1925
per cent over the prevailing price
year ago and that manufacturers
are experiencing great difficulty in
getting sufficient quantities to keep
their factories running. He added
that manufacturers appointed a
committee to investigate this tre-
mendous advance and found that
the market is being regulated by
the law of supply and demand and
that even the high price they are
required to pay is actually less than
the steel mills could get for all Of
their output from foreign buyers.
The manufacturers he says, look
for high prices for some time even
If the war should suddenly come to
an end, and are retrenching in ev-
cry way they can in order to keep
the cost of production to the mini
mum.

KANSAS CITY PATHFINDER
RUNS TOO FAST FOR ROADS

While running fifty miles an
hour on level stretch of road be-
tween Clay Center and Industry
yesterday afternoon a National Six
touring car carrying the pathfind-
ers for the annual trade tour of
the Kansas City Motor Dealers as
ISOLATION struck an elevated cul-
vert. The car held the road but the
rebound threw Donald d. Davis, a
Kansas City motor car dealer and
Fritz Hinkle. a reporter for the
Star, out of the back seat into a
wheat field fifty feet from the road.
Hinkle and E. f. Peake, secretary
of the dealers association, and j..
T. WEIGH, who were also in the car,
were unhurt. Davis was thrown in
to a ditch and suffered deep cuts
on the face and shoulders and a
fractured leg He was attended by
"a physician at Industry. The tar
arrived here last evening and pro-
ceeded on its way today.
THAT elevated culvert is an ex-
ample of lack of proper supervision
in road building" said Mr. Peake.
If each county had a highway en-
gineer whose instructions came from
the state highway department, hun
dreds of such accidents would be
avoided and it wouldn't be long
until culyerts we're built on level
with the road, as they should be. ="
