SCHMIDT UNAWARE
 OF PENDING SUIT
Garbage Collector Not Informed
 of Action by Pennington

Louis Schmidt. city garbage col- lector. has not yet been informed of any steps taken by the town of Pennington in connection with the complaint that his drivers are cart- ing garbage into that towa. and lit tie concern is being expressed by Schmidt and the department of health. both regarding the com plaints as unfounded.
 At Schmidt's home 1t was stated today that the plot on which dump ing has been taking place. is clearly shown as being we'll within the limits of the city of New Britain. The Pennington line cuts property of the collector. but the portion within the neighboring town has never been used for garbage dis posal and it will not be necessary to make such use of it. he assures. Dr. Richard w. Pullen, health superin- tendent, went over the premises yes terday with engineers maps and was satisfied that there is no occa- sion for complaint from the town of Pennington.
 Dr. C. J. kilburn, Pennington health officer, has turned his com plaint over to Daniel A. Markham, county health officer. The legal steps planned are limited to the ar- rest of Schmidts drivers for vio- lating the statute which prohibils carrying of garbage over town lines.

connect Stuka.
 Suspect Pair of Theft

Suspect Pair Of Theft
 The police. however. are fairly certain that Stuka and Alderman stolen a roadster owned by Rudolph Poglitsch of 74 Seymour street. which was parked at East Main and Spring streets. This is the car which struck the parked car on East street injuring Alderman so badly he was caught by the police. Officer Will liam Grabeck saw Stuka and Acker- man in Main street restaurant about 11:45 o'clock Thursday night. and they were together when they turned into East Main street a few minutes later. Poglitsch's car was stolen few minutes after mid- night and the police theory is that Stuka and Alderman stole it.
 Stuka. who was arrested in 1921 with Alderman for burglary in Max kennedy's store on Park street, re- turned to New Britain only a few days ago, having been in New York for some time. It is believed he ran away from the East street crash and seeing John Avitable's car un- der a shed at 125 Smalley street. jumped into it and sped towards New York. At North Haven the railroad crossing the gates were down for a passing train but he crashed through, missing a colli- sion with the locomotive by inches. and a few seconds later the steering wheel had left his control and the car plunged down an. embankment
 Threatens With Gun
 Leaving the wreckage, he warned Enc Tralor, gate tender, to keep his distance or he would shoot him and a short distance further along the highway he entered Dudley's garage where he took a car owned by Ed ward Boyle. In Hamden this car was found in ditch. wrecked. and the wild driver was unconscious be- side it.
 Today, warrant was issued for the arrest of Alderman, on the charge of theft of Poglitsch's auto mobile. It is said he admitted to Sergeant OMara at the hospital that he stole it but he would not say that Stuka was with him.

 Must Ask "Is It Right
 'Of course. today even the lisp. ing child understands the need for watching. The automobile has taught us this. and in a few years when the airplane is in general use. we shall have to develop the art of watching in five directions at one time. It is possible that the necessity of con- stantly watching in a physical sense Is 70 fatiguing or dvertiE thateta is 90 fatiguing or diverting that many have ceased to watch in a much more import ant sense, This age is % con- cerned with the checks and bal ances over which the banker pre- sides that it is dtsposed to skim over, or entirely disregard the checks and balances which make for the moral we'll being of the world. What we need today is . rising gen. eration which will not ask itself. can I get away with it, but, is 1t right. We have need every moment to con- sider the rectitude of the thoughts and impulses which come to us, to carefully consider tho consequences of our projected actions-to watch, and principally to watch ourselves. Entirely too many people are con- cerned with watching the other fel- low.
 Now, as to the hnal word-pray. This is quite old fashioned. It isn't even mentioned among the intelli- gentsis. and according to the teach ing of many alleged scientists 1t is 'hokum.' But two thousand years of the worlds finest accomplishment has rested upon it. Carlyle tells us that he who strongly desires a thing is always we'll favored by chance. Perhaps, chance plays muc h smaller part than many of us think. But constant urge from within im- pels us to reach out in the direction of our ambitions goal. and con- sciously or sub consciously We are influenced to do the things which lead toward that goal If we seel, after worthy ends. we shall tend to- ward them in spite of the fact that on occasions distresaingly frequent we may become discouraged. be- cause our performance fails 70 far short of our aims.
 T should be most happy if to- day were able to plant in . single mind that is here present. one help full thought, and if one boy or xlrl who has not thought along these lines would take away from here a determination to work. to watch and to pray. have accomplished q good days work. ,..,. ...g...

'The handsome reward the gov ernment is offering for information leading to the recovery of the pouches and their contents is stim- ulating much public interest" said Inspector Breslin. Numerous citi- zens are working for the reward, as we have received countless letters containing information. All this in- formation, however. has been of no value"
 He added that unless something unforeseen" turns up or unexpect- ed evidence develops, there will be no arrest over the weekend.
 Tn bag containing the currency was consigned to the Ansonia Ma tional bank from the Federal Re- serve bank of Boston and dfsap- peared while in transit. The other bag. containing checks, was being sent from the Ansonia Electric company to the Merchants Nation- al bank of New Haven.
 Burgess Questioned
 Esko Burgess. 37, Ansonia post office mail messenger whose work includes the handling of mail pouches, said he did not receive the currency pouch from Railway Clerk John Curry. of New Milford, who was on the train which is sup posed to have brought the bag to Ansonia from Boston. Burgess also told the postal inspectors that he had placed the other pouch on a train for Bridgeport, which Is on the route for mail matter.
 Inspector Breslin said the check up showed that four pouches were consigned to Ansonia, but only three were delivered.
