ditions was fired on as he stood in
the kitchen door of his home after
being awakened by his wife, who
had heard an intruder coming UP
the basement stairs. The bullet
shattered one of the door panels.
The councilman switched on flood
lights installed in his backyard
when his life was first threatened
and ran outside and exchanged
shots with his assailant Meanwhile
neighbor, Ed Hardesty. awakened
by the firing, seized a gun and shot
from his bedroom window at sec
ond man who had appeared near
the Ross home. Both attackers then
fled. None of the bullets took effect.
In the meantime, the basement OF
the Ross home had become a mass
of flames. Firemen quickly extin-
gulshed the blaze and found that all
of the cellar walls had been SPRAYED
with gasoline. A large pile of papers.
wood and coal also had been heaped
up in the coal room and set atire.
Police yesterday revealed that on
Friday night an attempt was made
to blow up Ross home. The Incl
dent had been kept secret that
speedler investigation might be
made. Officers said his home had
been flled with natural gas and the
electric current switched on. evil

With The Democrats
On the democratic side the same

pass upon went merrily on over the
weekend. Forecasters were many.
Some of them in analyzing the New
Haven primary situation drew the
conclusion that former Mayor David
E. Fitzgerald with town chairman
Mccoy squelched the independent"
movement headed by Thomas E. Ca
hill, general registrar, and Frank S.
Bergin. who wanted to be chairman
and its influence will be, in their
opinion, that the independent
movement in the state at large has
been deprived of its nucleus. Among
those who studied the democratic
charts were many who claimed that
through FitzGerald the hands of Ma

State Chairman Walsh had been so
materially strengthened that the

Monday Day of Fasting
 For Palestine Jews

Jerusalem, Oct. 18 R-The chief rabbi of Palestine. Abraham Hako- hen Nook, proclaims for next Mon- day . period of general fasting and mourning by the Jews on account of the ''outrages'' which occurred on tho day of atonement at the wailing wall. the holiest place in the world of jewry.
 On that day AnElo-Arab police in- terfered with the observances and attacked the Jews. The tension has been heightened by the action of the Moslem supreme council which a few days ago suddenly began build- ing operations upon the wall. The Jewish authorities, considering this another provocation, has asked the government to prevent the Moslems violating the status quo.

 All Die From Rabies

Harbin. North Manchuria, Oct. IS. UP)-A strange tale of a mad hen which attacked three persons, who later died of rabies caused by the fowls wounds. was related in soviet newspapers from Valivostok.
 The hen was one of a flock owned by the wife of an invalid living on a small farm near Vladivostok. Mo- ticing the fowl was i'll. the woman confined it in the house while she worked in the fields. The hen attacked her husband scratching and pecking him severely, and then turned upon the woman and her daughter when they returned home in the evening.
 All three persons showed signs of rabies and died shortly afterward.

Candidate for Governor of NeY
 Yort MakS Stirring Plel

Binghamton. W. r., Oct. ls N- A vigorous denunciation of religious bigotry and intolerance was made by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his first campaign speech as democratic can- didate for governor of New York.
 Departing unexpectedly from . prepared address in which he praised tho record of Governor smith. as against that of Herbert Hoover. MT. Roosevelt attacked this un-Americanism. this vile as- sault of the principles in which our country was founded"
 These conditions Mr. Roosevelt told an overflow crowd in Central high school last night, are "particu- larly we'll known around Bingham ton. But 1t isn't half 70 bad here as 1t ts in . lot of other places"
 Calne From South
 T have just come from the south and have seen down there in the southern states circulars that any man or woman in this audience would be ashamed to have in their home. have seen circulars that were so unfit for publication that the people who wrote them and printed them and paid for them ought not to be put in jail. but ought to be put on tho first ship and sent away from the United States-here the speakers words were drowned out by applause.
 Down there in the south," con- tinued MT. Roosevelt, "and out there in the west have had people come up to me and talk to me about the 18th amendment to the constitution people who are complaining about us in New York because they said we didn't care anything about the 18th amendment to the constitution.
 Won't Vote For "Al"
 And then these same people in the same breath would turn around and say they wouldn't vote for AL fred E. Smith and they would never read and didn't care a damn about the sixth amendment to the consti- tuition of the United States-the one guaranteeing religious liberty throughout the nation."
 Mir. Roosevelt said he noticed the conditions chiefly in sections where there is the least education"
