New Haven. Oct. 3-Results of yes terday's little town elections in 143 of the 169 towns of the state failed to show any general trend toward the Democratic party, althou%4i the Demo cratic won in a number Gf instances, turning over the management of af- fairs. while in other towns there was switch in the opposite direction. In the majority of cases the G. O. P. maintained control of the towns strongly Republican.
 As has been the case in previous years the local issues transcended the party interest.
 Darien Democratic.
 Notable exceptions in favor of the Democrats were East Haven, in New Haven County, where the Democrats made a clean sweep of all but one of- fee by small majorities, the independ- ents and many dissatisfied Republ- cans aiding in the overturning of the town; in Stonington, New London County, which went into the Demo- cratic column for the first time in eleven years; Darien, in Fairfield county where all the principal offices went to the Democrats for the first Holland county, the home of Mrs. Fannie Dixon Welch, new vice chair man of the Democratic State commit tee, which switched into tie Demo- cratic column, and Windham.
 Notable changes from 1 mocratic to Republican rule were in Simsbury. where a Democratic selectman of 12 years standing was defeated by a Republican. and in Prospect. New Haven county; Bolton in Holland county, and Windham.
 G. O. P. Holds Stamford.
 Stamford remained in the Republl- can fold as the largest Aef the cities voting while MiddletoWn was carried by the Republicans by a reduced ma- jority in a record vote.
 Consolidation won by goodly ma jority in Middletown, being one of the principal issues.
 Manchester boosted it's Republican majority and gains and losses were nearly equally divided in most of the other towns heard from, so far as party strength was concerned.
 A combination of Democrats and a citizens movement in Enfield resulted in the defeat of Edward BremaSe, Re publican, for selectman.
 Women voters played a prominent part in the elections in all towns, and women candidates for office were elected in a number of cases.
 Andover elected two women con- sta bles.
 Miss Mary E. Lewis was chosen on both tickets as town treasurer and town agent in Canton.
 Women as members of local school boards, and board of library directors were chosen in the majority of towns.

DRAWN AROUND
LABOR LEADERS
Chicago Police Forge Chain
of Evidence Against
Accused Trio
CONFESSION CLAIMED
Claimed That an Efficient Organlza-
ton For Carrying On Bomb War
fare is Revealed.

Chicago, May 15.-Marked prog
ress in the gathering of evidence
against the big three"-"Big Tim"
Murphy. "Frenchy" Nader, president
of the Building Trades Council, and
Con" Shea-was announced last
night following conferences of Off
Gals lasting several hours.
Though no official would give any
hint as to the nature of the volumn-
Gus new evidence that it is admitted
has been garnered by investigators
during the last "A hours. it was said
that a startling new line of inquiry
developed that forged strong chain
of circumstances from the actual per
petrators of the bombings and
murders straight to the big three. y
Meantime attorneys employed by
the big three We're preparing to re-
new their fight today before Chief
Justices Scanlan, of the Criminal
Court, in am endeavor to have the
cases assigned without delay.
Extreme caution of officials in dis
cussing new developments is ia ken as
assurance that a number of indlct-
ments are yet to be asked.
The three men involved, who were
among the $50 seized several days ago
following tn murder of two patrolmen
seeking to arrest four bombers, not
only were living off the unions but
were double-crossing them, it is
claimed.
Books, memoranda, letters. files
and other matter, it was said, told
how these men used the money col
lected as union dues to employ slug
gers to intimidate other organized la
%" unions.
Playing both ends against the mid
die proved such a lucrative business,
according to the police, that the
t,iumvirate itself was split by dissen-
sion and jealousies at the time the
arrests brought at least a temporary
end to its career.
Speculation arose as to what eX-
tent the 10 unions who refused to
recognize the Lands wage award will
stand bv Murphy, Nader. Shea and
the other defendants in their trials.
According to one report, preparations
have already been completed for the
raising of huge fund for the defense
of the accused labor men.
Henry Barrett Chamberlain, oper-
ating director of the Chicago Crime
Commission. who attended Yesterdays
conference and who has been acting
as spokesman for the police and other
organizations at work on the cases,
declared that while the State was pre-
pared to 90 to trial the moment the
indictments were returned he thought
some further time would be asked.

She lives for those who call her

POPULATION SHIFT
Representative Tinkham Would Have
Census Report Show Franchise
Statistics of Voters

Washington, May l5.-Continuing
his campaign for legislation to reduce
the representation in Congress of
Southern States which are alleged to
disfranchise the negro voter, Repre-
sentative George Holden Tinkham, Re
publican, OF Massachusetts, will intro
duce in the House today bill for a
special census of population upon
which to base reapportionment
Representative Tmkham wants such
census as will show not only the
race and color of all inhabitants, but
whether or not the right to vote at
the last Presidential election was ex-
ercised by persons 81 years of age
and over"
The Massachusetts member says if
there is continuation Of the nulliti-
cation of the equal suffrage clause of
the Constitution it may bring great
civil discord, if not revolution, in the
republic
Publication of population and vot-
ing statistics, Mr.. Tinkham proposes,
shall be published by States. coun-
ties, cities and minor civil divisions,
and the special census snail proceed
at once.
Quoting from the report on the last
census. Representative Tinkham said:
"In the last annual report OF the
Secretary Of Commerce the Director
of the Census recommended that leg
islation should be enacted for new
census i'm the following language:
"'There was such shifting of the
population just prior to and follow
ing the census date that there has
been considerable dissatisfaction with
the result of the count. 1t has fire.
ouentlv been contended that the dis
tribution of the uopulatiOn. as shown
bv the reports of the fourteenth cen
sus is abnormal; that prior TO the IN
numeratOn there was Il great move
ment from rural to urban districts.
which. since the enumeration, has been
neutralized in large measure by re-
verse movement. and that this SHIFT
irg of the population affected the to-
tails for certain States, thus infuenc-
ing the auuortionment Of representa-
tives in Congress. The proposed leg
islation has my approval
"No bill anuortioning Representa-
tives among the several States since
the census of 1920 has been passed by
Congress ar will be passed until next
voar. and it would seem highly desir-
able. under all the circumstances. that
a new censns should be taken 10 do
Justice to all of the various States in
relation to Federal reoresntatlon,
nearly everyone Of which States was
seriously affected by the disloration
of populations in the early months Of
1890 when the census was taken.
"The bill ! have drawn nrovideS for
census TO be taken Immediately
upon its passage.
at also nrovides in addition TO the
regular schedules that schedules shall
ho established which will allow the
Ccnsus Committee which formulates
tho now aprortionment hill TO have
