JACKSON LAUNCHES
NEW JUDGE FIGHT
Prosecution Ready to Battle
Attempt to Keep Out
Montgomery.

Whether Governor Ed Jackson.
George V. Coffin, Republican chair
man, and Attorney Robert I. Marsh
can seek change of Judge today
became a new issue in the prosecu-
ton of the trio on charges of at
tempting to corrupt former Gov
ernor Warren r. McCray.
Special Judge Oscar H. Montgom-
cry OF Seymour sent word through
Criminal Judge James A. Collins
that he would be here at 2 p. m.
Monday to entertain a motion for
the change Of judge which defense
attorneys have announced they
would file.
Judge Montgomery indicated that
If the motion is in proper form, and
he does not find the time limit for
presenting it has expired, he will
grant it.
Special Prosecutor EmSley W.
johnson declared the prosecution
would resist the move to change
judge again. Montgomery is the
second judge in the case, Judge Col
Inns having disqualified himself
after the indictments were re-
turned.
State to File Brief
Johnson said the State would file
a brief Monday contending that the
defense cannot seek a further
change in judge, because it partici-
pated in selection of Montgomery
after Collins disqualified himself
thereby exhausting the one change
Of venue the law allows.
The defense, it is understood, will
contend that it did not ask Collins tc
step aside and had nothing to dc
with causing the first judge change
Thereby it is entitled to its motion
for change Of venue now.
The question of whether Judge
Montgomery or Collins shall submit
a list Of three judges from which
a new judge would be chosen, in the
event the motion for the change i:
entertained, is expected to arise
Monday. Attorneys are searching
for precedents to settle this.
Against Trial Delay
Attorney Clyde Jones of defense
counsel said the motion for change
of judge was being filed now so il
would not delay the trial, set fol
Feb. z. .....
Prosecutor William r. Remy tart,
ly commented that the motor
hardly could be filed after the tria
started, the law providing that i
must be filed before.
Prosecutors viewed the defense
announcement as a move to delay
the trial, despite Jones declaration
The motion will allege that Mont.
gomery is biased and prejudiced tx
such extent it will be impossible fol
the defendants to obtain q fair anc
impartial trial, Jones said.

MONTREAL, Quebec, May 81
Despite appeals for help and hope
that time would alleviate the flood
condition in Lake st. John dis
trict, there were indications today
that the situation was becoming
more critical.
Although up to now the rising
waters have resulted only in the
loss of property, there is grave dan
ger of heavy loss of life.
The level of Lake st. John con-
tinuesto rise and the Indians, who
at this time of the year are COM
ing south from the northlands, tell
of there being large quantities of
snow there. This indicates that
there is little prospect of the wa
tiers receding for some time.
The booms at st. Joseph D'Alma
are being hard pressed by the great
amount of water, and should they
give way under the pressure, sthe
village of st. Joseph will be COM
pletly enveloped by the rushing
waters.
In other villages the residents
have been forced tn quit their homes
and take refuge in the hills out
side the village No less than six
centers are completely cut off from
the outside world, and some of
them have not received food sup
plies for nearly a week.

series of anti-Italian demonstra-
tons. They made heir headquar-
tiers at the Restaurant Gear.
Police and firemen attempted to
rush the restaurant and found its
entrances barricaded. Firemen
played hose on the students, but 1t
was answered with volley of coffee
cups, saucers, wine glasses, decan-
tiers and stones.
The f1remen finally were forced
to retreat in front of the barrage

Battle With Soldiers
The gendarnes then rushed the
building and students retaliated
against the soldiers, who carried
drawn bayonets, using chairs as
weapons. The fight was vigorous
and a number on both sides were
knocked unconscious.
Police finally were able to.restore
a semblance of order after they
had fired into the crowd. Ten
demonstrators we're carried away
on stretchers but it was unknown
whether they had been killed. In
addition to three known to 5e dead
as result of this last outcropping
of the anti-Italian sentiment, many
were said to be wounded and in
serious condition.
