VETERANS CRITICIZE CHA nF COMMERCE Diss Harts Depee.. < Libra
 Failed to o.,d he.s Conn.
 ... Drive

communica ton was transmitted this afternoon to the Chamber of Commerce by New Britain chapter of Disabled American Veterans of the World War in which the chamber is taken to task for its alleged failure to support the veterans in their recent drive for fund to support recrea- tion camp for servicemen at Mantle. The communication thanks those who assisted the drive committee and then expresses regret at the action of the chamber, which, according to the veterans forgot the disabled in our city and failed to aid us in our good cause for our buddies who can't af- ford vacation and who are still suf- fering from their wounds received in the late war"
 Commander Dewey Selander who with Adiutant Fred Fleischauer sign ed the letter, explained this afternoon that the chamber of commerce had been asked early in the drive to as- sist by naming committee to solicit subscriptions among the businessm en. This the chamber promised to do, Mir. koCihlIlti tHpidlisU, anu IWO Hl6IuDeIS ; of the committee were named at the meeting that he attended Convinced that this phase of the drive would be well cared for, Selander who acted as chairman of the drive committee instructed his solicitors to seek no funds from busin essmen. After the drive had closed he learned that the Chamber of Commerce team had col lected nothing and he believes that considerable amount of money was lost to the drive because of the com mittee's failure to act.
 The letter placed in this afternoons mail follows:
 We, the members of the Disabled American Veterans of the World war, New Britain Chapter. Noy5. wish to express our sincere thanks to all fra ternal organizations and citizens who assisted us in, our camp fund drive and who gave so generously in be- half of the disabled veterans of our city: also to our loyal committee who tried all in their power and worked so hard to reach our quota of s7,500.
 We regret the fact that our local Chamber of Commerce forgot the disabled in our city and failed to aid us in our good cause for our buddies who can't afford a vacation and who are still suffering from their wounds received in the late war We trust in the future that the spirit of 1918 shall not die but shall live in mem ory of all citizens and veterans who fought for right and justice.

DOLLS UP TO MAKE GOOD
 IMPRESSION ON JURYMEN
Mrs. Klimek, Alleged Husband Slayer, Acts When She Hears of
 Effect of Pretty Clothes

Chicago, July 17.-Marcelled and wearing a new dress with chic sum- mer bonnet, Mrs. Tilie Klimek, un- der sentence of life imprisonment for poisoning her third husband. ap- peared in court yesterday to answer to a charge of assault with intent to commit murder in connection with the alleged poisoning of her fifth and most recent spouse.
 Attorneys and court attaches gasped in surprise at the new Mrs. Klimek who at her first trial appeared in the slovenly garb of the tenement dweller.
 She was impressed apparently by the fate of that other stolid peasant woman, Mrs. Sabelle Nitu Crudelle, sentenced last week to be hanged for killing her husband and gossip at the county Jail that such a verdict would not have been returned had Mrs. Crudele been more attractive.
 Mrs. Klimek's case and that of Mrs. Nellie Koulik. her cousin who faced a like charge, were continued until August. The two women were indicted after the bodies of several of their deceased husbands and other relatives had been exhumed and quantities of poison found in the bodies.
