Say that he exerts a two

and you have twelve pounds ev-

out for yourself, friend. These
statistical matters are very inter

brain.
And then take the push of the

SELF DEFENSE is CLAIM
OF OLD HERMIT'S SLAYER
Dandone Tells Coroner Hultz Shot At
Him and He Beat Him To Pre-
vent Further Assault

Bridgeport, July Coroner John
j. Phelan, in announcing today that
he will probably hold his inquest on
the case of George Hultz 20 years old
Topstone hermit Friday morning at
$3.50 o'clock, said that the reason for
not holding it earlier is to give the
state police a chance to check up on
several points in John Dandone's sign
ed confession.
Dandone, the coroner said. makes
the claim that he did not kill Hultz
until the aged hermit had fred gun
at him from the doorway of his cabin
as Dandone was passing the place
about $3.50 o'clock on the night of
May 4. After being fired upon Dan
done says he dashed toward the cabin
wrested the gun from Hultz and threw
it to one side, beating Hultz over the
face with log-pike to prevent the
man from doing him bodily injury.
The alleged slayer claims the re-
mains of the gun which he says he
wrested from Hultz should be some
where in the ruins of the shack which
was destroyed by fire after the killing.
Although the ruins have been thor
oughly searched by state police and
volunteer searchers,, they will be
combed again today for traces of the
weapon.

London July 9. - Reparations
formed the chief subject Of discussion
at today's meeting of the British cab
met. Steps were taken to collate the
various views of the cabinet members
who over the weekend had given in
tensive study to the problem from
documents supplied by Lord Curzon
the secretary for foreign affairs.
1t is expected the opinions of the
different schools of thought will
crystallize within day or two in
simultaneous statements on the sub
ject in the house Of commons by
Premier Baldwin and in the upper
house by Lord Curzon.
These ministers probably will pre-
sent a careful analytical survey of
the entire Ruhr controversy reviewing
its historical features as we'll as the
attitude of France. Belgium and Italy,
so that the British parliament and
public may have a clear, basis on
which to form a Judgment as to
whether Great Britain shall act alone
or make further efforts to join hands
with France.
In diplomatic quarters the sue
cessful elimination of the Lausanne
conference and the settlement of the
sarre valley question by the league
council at Geneva is regarded as
slightly facilitating favorable issue
in the reparations situation. It Is
thought In these circles that with the
difficult questions of the Ottoman
debt, the evacuation of nstantinople
and security for foreigners out of the
way the allies can now concentrate
on the Rhtneland and work unitedly
for a solution.

PROBE CLEARS O'MARA
OF SHOOTING PAVANO
New Britain Policeman Did
Not Use Revolver
During Raid

Mayor Paonessa and Chairman
Dunn of the police commission have
conducted an investigation of the
shooting of Joseph Pavano. a youth.
during a raid on alleged rum runners
on the road to sPlainville last week
and are convinced that the bullet
which brought Payano down was not
fired by Patrick O'Mara of the New
Britain police force. Policeman
O'Mara assisted a number. of state
policemen in arresting Psyano and
three others.
1t is said that after the raid Po-
liceman OMara returned to head
quarters and showed his gun to Chief
Hart. All chambers were loaded and
the weapon did not have the appear
ance of having been discharged.
The investigation by the mayor and
Mr.. Dunn was made as the result of
a complaint filed by James Pavano of
969 Stanley street. father of Joseph.
who protested against the shooting Of
the boy. 1t is said that the father
insisted the shot had been fired by
Policeman O'Mara but his insistence
weakened and he was willing to ad-
init tndl II might nave CoEle IIout
the revolver of another policeman.
A state policeman is said to have ad-
mitted since that the bullet which hit
Pavano came from his gun.
According to a story which Mas
gained circulation the statement has
been made that Pavano's friends
would have avenged his death II he
had died of his wound. A traffic po-
liceman on duty today was approached
by a foreigner whom he did not
know who said. in a friendly way.
that there would have been couple
of dead policemen" if Pavano's wound
had proved fatal. He did not ofkr

Prosecutor H. G. Camp to
Resign--Warren D. Chase
to Be Appointed to His
Position.

Southington. July 9-Rumors which
have been prevalent here that Prose
cutting Attorney H. c. Camp would be
replaced mn the local town court, took
definite shape today when 1t became
known that Lawyer Camp Is planning
to resign the position. He will be
succeeded by Lawyer Warren D,
Chase. The appointment of Mr..
Chase will come as a surprise, as
Lawyer Camp has held the office for
a long number of terms. 1t was an
nounced. unofficially, that Lawyer
Camp would be made assistant pros
ecutor.
The appointment of prosecutor for
the town court rests in the hands of
Judge Thomas Welch of the court,
and although he has made no definite
announcement concerning the ap-
pointment, 1t is a definite fact that
Lawyer Camp is through and is to be
succeeded by Lawyer Chase.
Several times information has been
handed to the police concerning the
activities of we'll known hooch dis
tributors, and this information was
taken to the office of the prosecutor,
without subsequent action, it is re-
ported. Not long ago, a squad OF
state police entered the town and
raided ten different places, securing
sufficient evidence to convict in four
or five of them, but the warrants are
said to have been made out by States
Attorney Hugh NJ. Aleorn.
Those who claim to know, claim
that the resignation of Mr.. Camp
shows the guiding hand of the states
attorney.
Southington is regarded as the
oasis for thirsty souls and has been
the center of distribution of hooch in
large quantities. 1t is being peddled
about the streets from various houses
under the noses of the authorities and
yet no attempt has been made to stop
it. II is reported that there is large |
still in the vicinity where bootleggers |
from New Haven, New York and
points in Massachusetts, secure sup |
ply of liquor.
The matter of cleaning up the town |
was first taken up by the Southing- |
ton Businessmen's association. This |
action was prompted by the appear /
ance here every weekend of more |
'drunks" than there were before pro-
hibition. II is expected that war will
be declared on the bootleggers here. as
one step in the announced campaign
