LEWIS UPSET BY STATE POLICE ACT Asks Supt. Hurley Why Youths
 Were Taken Away GRISWOLD IS SATISFIED
Nurse Board Meets and Appoints Committee To Investigate Appl- cations For PoSition-Dr. William c. Bowers Dies in Bridgeport.

Out of the haze Of bewilderment that seems to have surrounded the recent episode of the state police in appropriating Andrew Dorbuct and Percy Parker, wanted In Berlin for the burglary of Henry Suprenant' s drug store in Kensington and In trying the lads in Hartford court, Prosecutor Charles r. Lewis has protested to Superintendent Robert T. Hurley, of the state police, de- manding that an explanation of the incident.
 Judge George G. Griswold, who with Lewis, waited patiently at the court for the appearance of the two men, is more mild in his state meuts concerning the incident and states that as Judge Schatz's sen- tence to the Cheshire reformatory is in accordance with his ideas of justice there should be no further action on the matter. He stated that it is the first time that any thing of that nature had ever come from the state authorities and he believed that it was more In the manner of an accidental mix-up than any formulated plan of state or Hartford police. He further stat ed that he believed some cxplana- ton would be forthcoming from the state authorities in the next few days.
 Dorbuck and Parker appeared before Judge Schatz yesterday and were sentenced 10 a term in the Cheshire reformatory by the Hart ford magistrate. The pair had pre- Nlously confessed 10 a long string of burglaries similar to the Kensing- ton affair and gave information that led f. the arrest of Harlan Walbe- off, ,lef Hartford and Howard Beau mon. of Rocky Hill who are being held by the Hartford police for the Glastonbury authorities in connec- tor with burgaries in that town.

Opponents OF the present Senator'S.
Waiter r. George and e. D. Smith,
who are seeking denomination, are
streesing their votes for American adj
herence to the World Court as one OF
the major issues of the campaigns.
South Carolina Democrats on An.
gust 81 and Georgia Democrats on
September will select their sena-
torial nominees through Statewide
primaries.
Senator George is opposed for re.
nomination by r. B. Russell, chief
justice OF the Georgia Supreme Court.
Il am unalterably opposed to the
League of Nations, the World Court
and any and all combinations and al
nances which involve us in the trick
cry, schemes, disputes and wars of
European powers" Justice Russell
said in announcing his platform to
the Georgia Democrats.

serted, and it behooves every pa
triotic citizen OF Georgia who believes
In America for Americans to lend his
best efforts-not In my Individual in
terest, but for the cause whose banner
am carrying. I am bitterly opposed
to policies of internationalism as ex-
pressed by Senator George in voting
this country into this compact for
foreign powers. My convictions on
this line are so deeply rooted that
they are unshakable and unchange-
able"
Senator George asserted that the

Mr.. Brown is attacking Senator
Smith for voting for the World Court,
and the Senator is defending his
Action.
II am In favor Of the League OF
Nations as conceived by Woodrow
Wilson, but, since the Republican
party crucified the great war Presi-
dent and rejected his plan to insure
the peace of the world, am OPP
posed to the Republican scheme of q
world court, in which the United
States would have little or no au-
thority," said Mr.. Brown.
First, believe in using brains
instead of bullets. and oppose the
resort to bullets until brains have
tailed In every effort. Second, It IS
a doctrine in the Platform Of my
party, and / believe In nay- party.
