RECORD BREAKING CROWDS

Of the many great attractions that the New Britain theaters have presented, and there were any number of them, there has never been one yet that could be called q close second to Rudolph Nalen- tino's last and greatest production, The Son of the Sheik." In the past three days over twelve thou sand people have been accommo- dated at the New Palace and every one of them agrees that "The Son of the Sheik" will take it's place among the immortal works of other great artists of the world. One well known dramatic critic summed up his review with the following: Like a great creation of a novelist or a great painting by an artist it is presented for its romantic per lection, artistic achievement, the crowning accomplishment in a career of masterpieces "The Son of the Sheik' will be shown at the New Palace for the last times to-
 day. The picture will be shown four times in order to accommodate the remaining thousands who have been unable 10 attend the previous

Couple of Italian Journalists Quarrel Over FasCist-Fight Near
 Nice.

Nice, France, Sept. 8. (P - Two Italian journalists fought nine round rapier duel at sunrise today before a group of twenty local newspapermen assembled in the hills behind Nice.
 The duellists. who quarreled over the fascist question, were Leonardo Camphglioni editor of the Italian page in the Nice paper La France" and Giuseppe Porta, reporter em- ployed by I'll Pensa Libra Latina" a fascist paper published in Nice.
 Porta was wounded In the arm and was carried to the home of a friend Neither principal was will ing to call his honor satisfied. The duel resulted from personal written attack which Porta made upon Camphlioni. Four local French reporters, none of whom had ever seen a duel, arranged the af- fair, which the seconds carried out with the assistance of duelling primer.
 Three women tainted at the sight of the blood streaming from Por- ta's arm, and this caused more ex- citement than the duel itself.
 Feeling between the fascists and anti-fascists has been running high in Nice for some time, and 1t is feared the duel will only serve to increase the bitterness.

 Nelson last night was seeking some one to take charge of his 240 acre farm and 27O sheep. His three minor children expect to live with married daughter while he Is in iail Because each of the men served five days on bread and water in April, 1925, prior to an unsuc- cessful appeal to the state supreme court their first stretch of the diet will be only Is days. Carson said he was not hungry when Sheriff Smith provided him with his eve ming meal. He was arrested late yesterday and spent his first three hours in jail reading.
 Physicians Protest
 Despite a report to Dr. lssiah I,ukens, pioneer physician and Teka- nah mayor, that both Nelson and Carson are under weight and might suffer harm A'om their meagre diet, and that such a diet was murder ous and cruel" County Attorney Rhodes said no physical examination would be given the men by the county physician until they develop unmistakable symptoms of illness. While Carson was looking over lis habit for the next two months Max Saltman. 16, who has six days to go before beginning another ten day stretch on bread and water, was enjoying the regular jail menu taken | from Sheriff Smiths table. In the four days he has been given regular food, he believes he has added sev- eral pounds to his weight.

 County Attorney Rhodes, while not subscribing to the judges pre- scribed menu, said he was loyal to him and would see that his orders were enforced. He said there was "too much sob stuff being displayed over the judges sentence which has been in usage for years"
 In Carson's first meal he was given rye instead of white bread. as suggested by doctors. Sheriff Smith says the men may have all the bread desired but that so far no prisoner has eaten an entire loaf at one meal.
