Court Positions
 Goal of Lawyers.
 Developments of considera ble im- portance to New Britain's legal fra tcrnity arc beginning to take form and within a few months Will De before the public to the exclusion of the ordinary run of matters con- corning the profession. A deter- mined effort will be put forth, II $ expected, 10 place a democrat ln one Of the local court judgeships soon after the legislature conNenes, and shortly thereafter there will be contest. for the prosecuting attor- neyships of police court.
 Hardly had the election of Dean Cross as governor and the local democratic nominees for shc lcgls- lature been assured in November when discussion centcred on the possibility of busting the present magistrates of the city and police courts. who are republicans, but few days later ii was freely report ed that there might be no changes, or at the most, one. As time wore on it developed that no assurance can be given that either judge Will be replaced. because of the repub- lican majority in both houses Of the legislature.
 Veteran politicians, including
  some who have served in the legls- lature. are not certain as 10 the procedure, one view being that i'll the event of bills being introduced to reappoint Judges Traceshi and SaAe, the governor would be obliged to approve their adoption within three days of the time he received them, or exercise his veto power. in which instance the legislature could override the veto, but another view is that the governor would not be required to act on such bills within three days because they would not be in the form of enact mcnt of laws. If the latter is the correct view, the governor could withhold his approval of the biI's until the legislature adjourned and then make recess appointments to the judgeships.
 A condition which may add 10 the possible mplications concerns the amount Of promising the demo- cratic governor will be obliged to do with the republican legislature. Obviously there will be more lucra- tive and important plums 10 be dis rributed than local court judge ships and inasmuCh as many Of the appointments of the governor must he approved ny the legislature neither the executive nor the law makers will be in position to ride roughshod oyor each other. Just hat place tho julgeships will hay" in the general shutflc remains to be sccn.
 AS to the prosecuting attorney sAips, which will not be acted upon by the common council until the April meeting. changes are already being rumored.

today in the northeast section Of
the city.
1t is believed the gunmen were
seeking &. 100000 alcohol ship

enormously thought was attached
to the train.
The holdup had all the ear
marks of a movie thriller.
AS the train came to a halt at
a water tower between Chelteu-
ham and Lawndale, the bandits
surrounded Engineer Joseph Fac
ser and William Fithian, the con-
ductor, waving pistols. They or
dered the men to remain quiet.
Fithian, weyer, dashed
towards the cabin of the loco
motive and in the ensuing Con-
fusion Faeser got into the engine
and pulled the whistle. AS the
train gathered speed the bandits
opened fire, but their bullets
bounded harmlessly off the steel
plates of the cabin.
Police were unable to find any
trace of the men. Residents
nearby said they heard several
trucks speed away after the loco.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May IT
0N.SD BY the tape, it is only
a mile and a quarter. BY the
watch, it is just a few seconds
more than two minutes. To the
eye, it is a series of split-second
impressions that beat upon the
retina until the conscious mind
reels under the impact. But
there is nothing quite like it this
side of the hereafter, and so the
fifty-SiXth running of the Ken
lucky Derby will play upon the
heart strings of a nation late this
afternoon and make it hearken
to the magic of its song.
A fast track is virtually guar
anteed by the Weather Bureau.
Forecaster L. Kendall predicted
fair Derby weather during the
early part of the day with prob
able showers in the late after
noon. A drop in temperature is
expected. bringing a possible low
of so degrees in the afternoon.

a day gone materialistic, the great
