The $25,000 damag suit against Klemens Kalkowski of this city by Mrs Ada Wrinkle for the death of her husband, Louis Winkle, was thrown out of the superior court today by Judge Maltbie granting a motion for non-suit and taking the case from the jury.
 Failure of Proof
 Judge Maltbie said in substance the suit was an action for injuries result ing in death and the plaintiff must prove that breach of duty by the de- fendant did result in death. There had been failure of such proof the judge said.
 The death certificate and the physi- clans said that Wrinkles death Sep tember IT. 1921. was caused by a fractured skull and kalkowskis so- called confession-on which the suit against him was based-was to the effect that Wrinkle fell down the stairs from Kalkowski's saloon to the eel lar, that Kalkowski found him there and with Mike Mich carried him to another room in the cellar and laid him on some bags thinking the man was drunk and would sleep of his condition and recover from his injuries About g o'clock at night Kalkowski found the man still breathing easy and thinking the fresh air would do him good carried him out and laid him in the grass in the rear yard Wrinkle was found there dead the next morning.
 Has Not Been Prosecuted

EXPECT BATTLE OVER DEMOCRAT PRIMARIES Proposal to Change By. Laws Will Meet Opposi-
 ton, Is Report.

At the democrat city convention to pc held March 3l, resolution will be introduced to supplant the present convention and caucus system with direct primaries for the election of candidates for city and county of flcers and for delegates to the county and state convention.
 A lively battle on the adoption of the proposal is anticipated. The con- Vehtion plan has many supporters who are reported to be lining up op- position to the resolution that would put this system out of existence.
 Both democrat mayoralty candi- dates, Messrs. Halloran and Paonessa are Tn favor of the primary system. MT. Haloran has advocated the change for many years, while MT. Paonessa has also been in favor of the primary plan for electing candi- dates to the city ticket.
 On the other hand, opponents of the measure to amend the commit tees bylaws, assert that the conven- tion provides q pre- election stimulus 'iiAN'i S to1lS btiltlltS llle y. Campaign speeches, speeches second- ing nominations and other addresses enliven the convention and invariably points are brought out that have been productive of votes, they claim
 In accordance with rules, Lawyer David l.. Dunn, chairman of the dem- ocrat town committee. has been in- formed by mail of the proposed change. A copy of the communica- tion follows:
 Mr. David l.. Dunn
 Chairman, Democrat Town Con-
 mittee.
 Dear Sir
 You are hereby notified that at the city convention to be held in the spring of 1922, the following resou- tion will be introduced;
 Resolved: That the rules of the democratic party of the City of New Britain, Conn.,, in force since 1910, regarding the present method of cleo ten for candidates in the city election candidates for county office IS and the election of delegates to the state con vention. be amended so that the method of voting, beginning with the spring election of 1923, instead of be- ing the present method of conven- tions and caucuses. become the direct primary method.
