Worden who worked in a garage at Norwa1k ac- cord1ng to the testimony made the ac- quaintance of a couple of women who sought to entertain him after they found he had $500 saved and had It with him. They took him to their home where after couple of days of gay living Worden awoke to the fact that the women had most of his $500. He was then. told that in order to protect the good name of one of the women with whom he had been CO., habiting he must marry her. They gave him time to think it over. Wor- den concluded to get out of town and stole car from the garage and drove to New York where he traded it for another car receiving $100 to boot. When this money was almost ex- hausted he slipped back to Norwalk to see how things were going and was nabbed by the police. He went to wethersfield for a term not less than one year nor more than one and a half years.

WILSON COMMITS
 PARTY 10 LEAGUE
(By United Press

Washington, May 10.-The fight for the control of the Democratic party is in full swing, with President Will son determined to commit the or ganization unqualifiedly to the ratifi- cation of the Versailles treaty and the covenant of the league of nations without the Lodge reservations, and to go before the people at the No- vember elections with this as the para mount issue.
 This is the interpretation which political leaders here today placed upon the letter of the president to Oregon Democratic leaders, made pub lie at the white house last night. In this letter the president said that the Democratic party had the honor of the nation in it's hands and that the Lodge reservations to the league cov- enant were utterly inconsistent with that honor as well as destructive of the role of world leadership, which the United States must assume.

 New York, May l0.-The conserva- tive element dominated the Socialist national convention when the tenta- tive platform and declaration of prin- cfples were drafter today. Both of the documents are moderate in their tone, but the radical element in the convention waged bitter fight against them.
 The declarations declare that the Socialist party should seek to attain it's end by orderly and constitutional methods. The socialization of in- dustries should be brought about as rapidly as technical conditions will permit, the platform asserts.
