MORALE BELIEVED
 ALREADY MARRIED
Police May Arrest Alleged BiSa: nous N. Yy Bridegroom

That Paul Morale, one of the principals at a double wedding at Crescent, N. Y, Friday, was once arrested in New Britain, that he is already married and that he may face Q charge of bigamy as a re- suit of his marriage Friday, are statements gathered at the New Britain police department today.
 Morale was arrested in New Britain for keeping a disorderIy house. He and an inmate of the house-the woman he married Fri day-were fined in police court here on June 27, 1927. It is thought that Miss Dykar, whom he married Fri day, changed her name from Ste phanie to Estella. The young woman, who gave her age as 21, was sen- tenced to the state farm for women. Morale served time in jail for the offense and after his release it was expected that he would be deported. At the present time his mother knows nothing as to his where abouts.
 A young man who said that he had loaned Morale $50 a few weeks ago came into the station Saturday evening to see If he could locate Morale He identified photo in the police gallery as Morale.

GREEK CATHOLIC
 CHURCH YEAR OLD
First Anniversary Will Be Ob-
 served on September 2

The first anniversary of the St. Mary's Greek Catholic church on Winter street will be celebrated with a banquet at the Ukrainian hall on Erwin Place on Monday, September ?, which parshioners and city offi- cials will attend.
 On September 2, 1928. the church became independent of the rule and jurisdiction of the Greek Catholic Bishop Constanty Bochoczcwski of Philadelphia. Rev. Basil RuWniak received the pastorship of the church but remained only for a short time and was transferred to Bridgeport. Since December 15, 1928, Rev. Peter PaskiewiCz has re- tained the pastorship and the parish has progressed since his coming.

cities from 1914 to 1927 supported this by showing "the same character istics as the curves for deaths from alcoholic insanity"
 Per capita consumption statistics of Great Britain, showing reductions of 61 per cent for spirits and 31 per cent for beer from 1913 to 1928, accompanied by similar reduc- ton in deaths from alcoholism and arrests for drunkenness" is contrast ed with the opposite trend of such manifestations in America. From this, the association draws the con- clusion that the American death and arrest rates are ''irrefutable evidence of a steady raise in liquor consumption.
 Before And After
 Confning its study of the illicit production trend to federal figures on seizures of liquor, apparatus for making it, and materials, be- cause state reports of seizures are not available" the association finds evidence of a steady increase. Dis tillng apparatus seized in 1920, it says, amounted to 15,416 pieces, compared with 261,611 in 1928, while liquor of all kinds seized totaled 153,735 gallons in 1920 and 32,4T4,- 234 gallons in 1928, and mash seiz- ures amounted to S,556, ,695 gallons in 1923 and 26,594,533 in 1928.

 CTS and Obtain S19

Where peters will go next to ex- ercise their amourous natures is the question which is bothering the po- lice. for everywhere they do go, they are chased by bold, bad bandits, who look upon loving couples as their legitimate prey.
 Early Sunday morning two cou- ples in one car from New Haven were parked on South street near the junction of Stanley street. An auto drove up and halted close by. Waving an Automatic pistol at the occupants of the New Haven car the driver got out and ordered them to separate. The other men also got out of the car, waving pistols.
 From Vernon Hotchkiss they took s4 and from Robert Tuttie, New Haven, they took s15. The girls had no money taken and at the police station acclaimed to give their names, when they told their story to Officers O'Day, Blanchette and Auida.
 One of the boys in the New Haven car remembered the reg7s- tration of the bandits machine. This was sent out over the police tele- typewriter and Hartford police re- sponded with the statement that the car had been reported stolen there just a few minutes before the tele- type message came in.
 Sunday morning the owner of the car came to the local police station seeking more information about his car. No trace has been found.

 Mother Natures own roots, leaves, 1 barks and berries and is blended in sucn a way that it is not a make shift preparation. These roots, leaves barks and berries are collected from | 2ll corners of the world and each has it's own duty to perform on the sufferers system. Those who wish
 to enjoy the birth given right of every man, woman and child, which is sound health and happiness, should go at once and meet the Bon- Tone man at Miller X Hanson's Drug store, 30 Church strete, New Britain. He will tell you why Bon-Tone is the foremost medicine on the mar
 llet today. He Will tell you of the thousands right here in your city who owe their good health to this great remedy. No, he will not make any claims for Bon-Tone but will show conclusive results that have been obtained by Bon-Tone.

 up around my heart and almost
 choke me. Often l would get dizzy
 spells and everything would go black
 before me and l would have to grab
 hold of anything handy to keep from
 falling over. These conditions kept
 getting worse until my nerves be-
 came shattered and the least little
 thing would annoy me so I would
 get all excited over nothing.

Milan, Italy, Aug. 12 (Pl-Chained squadron of police. Sante Pollastro, Italy's Gerald Chapman, and the most notorious bandit of postwar years, arrived here today after a two-years fight against eXtradition from France.
 Pollastro will be tried Oct, and will have to answer for a score of crimes, including the killing of five policemen. Two of the policemen were marshals and the other a ser geant. Pollastro maintains he killed only two of the policemen.
 The Italian, who has a keen mind and an unusual range of education. was the leader of a band which first became prominent some years ago.
 Pollastro confessed to the Italian police numerous felonies he had committed, but defended his kill ings.
 T wished only to preserve my liberty. I would have killed 10 per sons rather than lost that" he said. Among his accusers is an anarchlst named Derosa, former member Of his band. Pollastro says Derosa came from America to begin reign of terrorism and betrayed him for a reward of $500
 Pollastro's arrival at the Milan prison caused a near riot when oth- CT prisoners rushed to get glimpse of the bandit and were beaten back by prison guards.

Faithful Dog on Guard,
 But on Wrong Veranda

Sometimes even dogs mind slips q cog. if it is an ordinary dog it is quite all right, but when it is of the type made famous by the antics of Strongheart and Rin Tin Tin, it is news.
 Today the dog warden has a Ger man police dog whose mind slipped q cog Sunday evening. He thought he was at home, but he really wasn't. However, he mounted guard on the rear porch of 72 Briad street and refused to let the tenants either in or out. They had to use the front door, causing them much inconvenience. He was guard ing the rear porch for his master. A. J. Cote and his family, the ten ants, were strangers. He protect ed them from their own home.
 Officer Muszynski came on the beat and Louise Cote reported the matter to him. Since the owner of the dog could not be found, he was turned over to Dog Warden Thomas Ruskie.

.SLAPS DAUGHTER
 THEN KICKS WIFE
Week-EDd Drama Repeated
 Again in Willow St. Home

Although they were cruising about looking for speeders Officers O'Day and Harper were ready for anything which came along. They were going down Willow street Sunday night. In front of 63 Willow street large crowd of people gaped at the house. Noises of breaking crockery and fall ing chairs were heard. The officers stopped their car to investigate.
 Inside of the house was a bedlam. Mrs. Egantes Montinook and her daughter Vera were weeping Both had been attacked by Egantes, their husband and father, who had been drinking. The wife showed a bruise on her knee where she had been kicked by her husband and the daughters face was reddened where her father had slapped her.
 Every Saturday and Sunday it is like that?" Mrs. Montinook told Judge Stanley J. Tracesd this morn ing. He comes home drunk and then he chases us outside and beats us. l didn't cross him. I only asked him why he beats our daughter"
 Egantes, who works in junk yard, had nothing to say. He was fined s1o and costs by Judge Traceski and placed on probation. The probation officers also were recommended to investigate family conditions of the Montlnooks.
 Eyadcs Blame. Fined S25
 Charged with evading respons- bility after an accident in front of 77 West street, John C. Farley, 34, 94 West street, was fined $50 and costs with s25 remitted by Judge Traceski,
 Officer Harper testified that on complaint made by Henry Garcia. T7 West street, he went to the home of Farley Saturday evening to see what damage was done to his machine. He found that the front axle was bent so that the front wheels of the car were dished in. A fender was also damaged. The accident happen ed in front of 101 Oak street where Garcia had his car parked
 The officer then went up 10 see Farley to ascertain why he did not stop to investigate the accident. At first, the officer said, Farley declared that he believed the accident to have been too slight to bother about, but later he said that he did not have his drivers license with him at the time. Officer Harper then arrested him for evading responsibility. The officer also found that Farley's car had a bent hub and hub cap on the right front wheel. Officer ODay corroborated Officer Harper's testi- mony.
 A small boy who witnessed the ac- cident said that Farleys machine stopped for about minute after the accident. Garcia said that Farley came to see him last night and offer ed to pay for-the damage so that the case would not be in court James P. kentzegi also claimed that Farley came to Garcia Sunday evening and offered to settle for the damages if the case would not be brought up in court
 q believe that this man has not violated the law claimed Judge William r Mangan, representing the
