GREAT HARRINGTON MAN SHOT AND ROBBED
Body of Garage and Dance Hall Proprietor Found
 This Noon

Great Harrington. Mass. Aug 27 OP) - Carlton E. Roraback. proprietor of a garage and dance hall two miles south of here, was found dead with two bullet wounds in his stomach this noon. The po- lice declared he had been murder ed and robbed.
 Roraback had built up a recrea- tion center about his filling station on the main highway but quite dis tant from any neighbors. One of his employees, Charles J. Kellogg. let the place shortly before 2 o'clock this morning. Roraback had then gone to bed in the little cot tage adjoining the garage. Charles Coons, another employe, opened the place for business at about 8 o'clock but did not go near the cottage as his employer was ac- customed to sleep until late in the morning. When at last he began a search, he found the body of Rora- back clad only in underclothes in the garage, the doors of which were shut.
 The police found one bullet i'm bedded in a door panel of the cot tage which led them to believe that Roraback was called from his bed and shot down as he stood in the i doorway. The body was then dragged into the garage.

SL0yAK!AN EXILE ON
 VISIT TO THIS CITY
Rev. Dr. Jehlicka of War saw Outlines Woes of
 Homeland

Electing to follow the life of an exile in Poland rather than forego his campaign for an independent Slovakia, Rev. Dr. Francis Jehlicka, professor of moral theology and sociology at the University of War saw, is in New Britain advancing the interests of his homeland as the guest of Rev. Lucyan Boionowski
 Father Jehlicka, who is leading one of the two international political factions working in Slovakia's in terests, the other being a home rule movement, is frequently referred to as "Slovaiia's De Valera"
 His campaign is of interest not only to the Slovallian colony in New Britain, but also to the large colony of Poles, since his homeland is at the southern border of Poland and, the visitor ayers, a plebiscite to determine which of the bordering countries Slovakia would chose to unite with, would show a great ma jority favoring Poland.
 Father Jehlicka spoke interesting ly today of the European situation. On May 30, 1918, pact was signed at Pittsburgh in which Slovakian leaders agreed to forego the previ- lege of a plebiscite and unite with the Czechs to form a new nation, with the understanding that Slo- vakia would have it's own parlia- ment, it's tribunals and it's own ad- ministration of government. Several years of suppression, and exploita- ton which robbed the district of its wealth, according to Father Jehlicki' brought demand for enforcement of the treaty terms. The Czechs at | this juncture admitted, the visitor says, that the treaty was signed as claimed, but having been signed in America on Memorial Day it was not a binding contract and was merely another scrap of paper.
 Although Czechs and Slovaks are both of the Slavish race they have no interest in common. the former being friendly to the Red" move fContinued on Page 25)

 The little group, battling for breath, stumbled toward the en- trance, the leader said, and on the way saw several men lying on the floor, but could not tell whether they were dead CT injured.

Near Riot Occurs as LinCOlns Buck Regulars at Primary
 This Afternoon
ENTIRE PROCEEDINGS
 MAY GO TO HIGH COURT
Max Spelke Appears As Leader of Lincoln Republicans While Chair man Warren S. Abel Marshals Op- position-Main Issue Is Whether State Or Party Has Control ot Primary.


 Stamford, Aug. 27 P-Amid tur- moil, recriminations and hotly word ed arguments, Stamfords' republican primary for choice of delegates to various party conventions and cleo ton of a town committee opened this afternoon.
 The Lincoln republicans were out h force to buck the regular organ ization and amid the uproar there were intimations that the results of the primary might be the basis of an appeal to the superior court. The main issue appeared to be as to whether the primary was governed by party rules or state law.
 The dispute broke out as soon as the gathering was called to order by Warren S. Abel, chairman of the republican town committee who had proceeded to read list of names of officers of the primary. Prosecutor Max Spelke objected to the list and kept interrupting the reading of 1t, he claiming that all officers had to | be elected under the state law. MT, Abel said that party rules gave him 1 the right to make the appointments. He named Adelbert II. Skeel as moderator and Mir. Spoke voiced f his objections vigorously
 Cheers For Spelke
 Scores of Lincoln republicans who were present cheered Mir. Spelke and howled at Chairman Abel, and at times the meeting was very turbu- lent, Side arguments started, and l the participants were often so eX- cited that others thought there would be personal clashes. MT. Spell ke brought stenographer to make a record of the proceedings as he had intimated that the entire prt, mary action might be thrown into superior court. Daniel r. B. Hick- ey house clerk and leader of the Lincoln republicans, once tried to make a speech but MT. Abel ruled him out of order and MT. Hickey took objections. Hickey claimed he was on the point of offering a sug- eestion to settle the trouble.
 The Lincoln republicans had brought ten thousand printed ballots for use but Chairman Abel ruled them out and insisted that the bal lot prepared by the town committee alone should be used.
 It was 12:45 before the primary proceedings were ironed out suffi- ciently for a start in the voting for delegates and town committeeman

Secondhand Furniture.

Like most people. you'll he tempted

you welcome chance to save money.
But don't buy a piece of furniture
second hand until you have priced 1t

furniture prices to be safe. and natu-
rally they are in poor position to
judge values.
Furniture deteriorates with age, es-

that two identical pieces. one new and
one 10 years old. may differ widely i'll

exactly how old furniture is unless
YOU recognize az Old-fashiOned pattern
or design. Old furniture that has heen
carefully handled may look newer
than relatively new furniture that has
been carelessly treated.
How can you tell. then? Deal only
with reputable people, or people VINO
will hear investigation and who can
furnish references. In few cases Is
furniture worth more than 25 TO 30
per cent Of It's original cost price. IT
