 New York, Was 28

 Dewey M, Parker, one-time commander Of q rum chaser of the coast guard fleet operating out of New London, IS charged with the murder and is being held in New York.

 Parker, who shared his apartment with the 2S year old woman, denies the charge. Police have been un- able to break down his story that he found the girl, her head enyel- oped in bedspread, sprawled across the bed when he entered the place Sunday night.

UNSAFE SIDEWALKS
 BEING TABULATED
Police List Defective PaYementS
 for City Engineer

On suggestion of City Engineer r. A. Merriam, approved by Mayor Quigley, the police department will make weekly reports of defective and unsafe sidewalks about the city. Already 75 such reports have been turned in by the police, and the pub lie works department will keep a card system so as to keep Tn touch with conditions in all sections of the city, making repairs where needed.
 Mayor Quigley of late has been concerned about the cost of damage actions against the city, resulting from unsafe sidewalks and he agreed with Engineer Merian that the police are in an ideal position to observe the walks, as practically every street is covered day and night. Mounted officers observe de- fleets in the roadways and the pa trolmen will hereafter be held &C., countable for reporting the side walks.
 Corporation Counsel J. H. Kirk hams recommendation was that ad- ditional inspectors be appointed to the public works department but the cost would be prohibitive in the opinion of the city engineer, who, in a communication to Mayor Quig- ley on the subject, pointed out that there are approximately 200 miles of

In the past. the West Ends and Maple Ends have met quite regularly each Thanksgiving Day for the city title, but it appears at present as if a third contender must be considered. The western and northern gridders played to a scoreless tie at Muzzy field last year.
 It is probable, according 10 ofti- clals of the older organizations, that the Pioneers will be played at Muzzy field on Sunday, November 23, by either the West Ends or Maple Ends, the opponent to be decided by the toss up Of a coin. The team drawing d bye will meet the victor of this game on Thanksgiving Day for the crown.
 Both the West Ends and Maple Ends have enjoyed only mediocre success on the field of combat so far this season. The former outfit scored for the first time at Water town Sunday afternoon when II whipped the town eleven, 70. The Pioneers, although they have had little opportunity to exhibit their wares this year, extended the East Hartford Senators before lowing in defeat, 13-7. several weeks ago,

win give the Democrats an oppor-
tunity to say:
1.-THE corrupt police department is
inherited from preceding city adj
miniStrations and because of the
civil service code. the new admins
tration could not get rid of these
officers without definite and sworn
charges Of violations Of the police
oathS.
THE present Republican DONNA
ton of the courthouse is utterly re-
sponsible for the appoir.tees who
were guilty of law violations and
the blame must be placed on the
right party"
The prosecutor is preparing an
"out" for himself, it was pointed
out, in the statement that he is
without sufficient funds and inves-
tigatorS to make the probe more
extensive.
'"This office is SO crippled for
means that our probe can't be
sweeping and probably won't extend
outside of the city," Stark declared.
This indicates what his defense
will be If only policemen are named
in true bills.
Stark fell down on the grand jury

ton, one Of the foremost G. o. P.
leaders Of the county declared.
Republican and Democratic chief
tains believe the federal investiga-
tons and arrests have not influenced
vote one way or the other. Stark S
probe, however, may prove an i'm
portant political factor. That is, If
it results in anything, which the his
tory of past investigations started by
the prosecutor lead many to believe
is unlikely.
If Stark, as is declared, is con-
centrating all his attentions on cor
ruption and law violations in the
city and succeeds in indicting q
group of policemen, many Of whom
will be Democrats, and does not
indict any county officers, he is lay
ing himself open to charges OF using
his Office for political purposes only,
it was pointed out.
On the other hand, If he obtains
indictments of many policemen and
only few minor county officials,
the entire affair can be called a
political move" by the Democrats.
But If he names both policemen
and important county figures, he
