BOHEMIAN DEFAULTS
 IN CIVIL ACTION

An echo of the now famous Burns raid was heard in Bridgeport today, when the case of Frank CoZza of Broad street, against Lieut.. Fred A BoZeman, of the Burns Detective Agency, was brought before Judge William M. Maltbie. in the Superior court.
 Attorney Jacob Klein. who repre- sents Cozza, told the court that Boze- man could not be located. As a re- suit, judgment by default will be en- tered against Bozeman, and notice to this effect will be sent to him in care of the Burns agency in New York.
 A hearing in damages will follow in two weeks and it is believed that this action will force the Burns operative to appear in Bridgeport.
 Cozza brought suit against Boze- man for s5,OOO damages on the grounds that the detective inflicted personal injuries upon him, Cozza, during an alleged third degree ses- sion in police headquarters. ~.
 Bozeman recently forfeited s20G bonds in the Common Pleas court. when he failed to appear to answer charges of assault.

FARMERS AWAIT DECISION ON THE
 LOAN OF FUNDS

Washington, Oct 15-A new state
 ment of the governments financial
 policy is expected from the Federal
 Reserve Board late today, following
 the demands of various groups of
 farmers and producers for further
 extensions of credit by banks. Gov
 ernors of Federal Reserve banks were
 in conference with members of the
 Reserve Board, in a final session. with
 and Comptroller of the Currency
 Williams attending as ex-of1cio mem-
 bers of the board.
 The farmers, having completed their summing up arguments and
 presented them formally to the board,
 were anxiodsly awaiting the decision but by no means hopeful that their urgent pleas will be granted. AL though no intimation has come from the board of what steps it may take to further ease the credit situation for the producing elements, the feel ing was strong that the board will not make a radical departure from it's established policy. Nor is it expected l that the board will feel justified in 1 going so far as to indicate to mem bers' banks of the Federal Reserve system that the commercial paper of agriculture interests be given prefer eence over other paper of so-ca1led i esseitia1 industry.
 The attitude of both Governor Harding on the board and Secretary
 of the Treasury Houston toward the various groups appearing before ] them in eleventh hour appeals for i aid was believed to indicate that the | Federal Reserve Board will decide that it's functions, limited by law. ! would render it impossible to set up certain banking privileges for an l agricultural class. as distinguished | from all other classes of essential i producing or industrial groups. l These higher officials expressed l themselves in sympathy with the aims l of the farmers but have expressed 1 themselves power1ess, under the law, i to exceed certain limits.

 Great excitement reigned around two voting machines on the bottom floor which were being demon strated by two men. All the women eagerly awaited their turn to take a hand at the lever. It was truly surprising how quickly the majority of them grasped the correct methods of using the voting machine. One of the dem onStrators even rema-/ ed he thought the women caught on more readily than the men. Of course there are all ways a few foolish questions asked and conspicuous among these was one asked by a fairly young married wo- man if her husband could come in with her while she voted in case she forgot what to do, as she claimed she would vote the same ticket as he would. Another inquired if she could take as long as she wanted to vote.
 Many of those who came last night were employed in the local depart ment stores. One well groomed wo- man, a social and philanthropic leader in this city, made the remark that she was trying to look intelligent and in quired of a friend whether or not she was succeeding.
