ACCUSES EMPL0YE
 OF STEALING SS5O
Fruit Dealer Tells Police He
 Failed to Turn in Money

Walter Piorkowski of 215 Glen street is not wanted by the New Britain police, it was said at head quarters today, an investigation last week by Sergeant T. J. Feeney of the detective bureau into complaint by the young mans employer, M. NJ. krikorian. having disclosed that Pl- orkowski did not collect and with hold any money in this city.
 Sergeant Feeuey learned that col leCtions were made by Piorkowski in Plainville. Bristol and Forestville, while in krikorian's employ, and aC- cording to the latter, the young man pocketed approximately s850 and left the city. Krikorian deals in fruit and produce on Glen street and Rockwell avenue.
 After Sergeant Feeney's report was presented to Assistant Prosecut- ing Attorney W. NJ. Greenstein, the latter would not issue a warrant for Piorkowski's arrest for the reason that there was no evidence that the alleged theft was committed in New Britain. Sergeant Feeney learned that PiorkoWski left the city at least q day before krikorian reported the case. The alleged peculations have been going on for three or four months.

YIELDS BEER PIPE
 IN ATTACKING WIFE
GaSSA World War Veteran Saved From Jail by Her Plea

After hearing Mrs. Constant Szia- bowski's story of abuse and assault inflicted by her husband over a long period, Judge M. D. Saxe in police court today declared it was time Sziabowski changed his attitude and unless he did so he would be sent to jail. He ought not to hide behind some illness he has and beat his wife this way" the court said.
 SziaboWski is 3 5 years of age and for several months has been out of employment His wife testified that he was gassed in the World war and the government has been supporting the family, but he does not show any inclination to find work, choosing to spend his time drinking wine and beer. When she speaks to him about his habits he attacks her and last night she complained that he struck her in the back with a pipe used in the manufacture of beer, so OiAi'Nio diAlSo OulliNdll dllu 1Ddnlel J. cosgrove arrested him on the charge of breach of the peace. Off, cer Sullivan testified that he has been called to their home at 114 Putnam street several times in the past four months on account of Szia- bowski's rampages.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. M. Greenstein suggested that the case be continued on probation in view of the testimony about Szia- bowskfs physical condition resulting from service in the war, and Mrs. Sziabowski asked that this disposi- ton be made as she did not want jail sentence imposed. Judge Saxe imposed suspended jail sentence of 20 days, with probation, but made it plain that Mrs. Sziabowski must not be obliged to submit to cruel treat ment such as she described Attor- ney Martin F. Stempien represented Sziabowski.

CARIBBEAN OFFERS
 BUSINESS MISSION
Industrial Consulant Says Con- merce Better Than Diplomacy

Wllliamstown, Mass, Aug. 19 LP American business has the oppor- tunity 10 make a greater contribu- tion to the welfare of Caribbean countries than the American diplo- mat. Whiting Williams. Cleveland industrial authority and consultant, told members of the Institute ot Politics today.
 MT. Williams, in speaking at the general conference on the United States policy in the Caribbean area, said he sees no possibility whatso. ever Of our refusing to play a vast ly important part in the social and commercial as well as the political development" of the Caribbean countries.
 TO deny them either the needed capital or the hoped-for diplomatic cooperation is much more hurtful 10 them than to us" he said. What we can hope for is that both our business and our diplomatic repre- sentatives may feel the highest pos slble sense of responsibility and re- speCt for the feelings of these peo- ples of a culture widely different from but not inherently inferior to our own"
 Stability Increasing
 He urged closer study of cen tral American problems and a care ful selection Of diplomatic person. mel.
 Dana Munro, chief Of the division in the political atmosphere" of the United States department of state said there has been a definite trend in all Of the Caribbean countries to- ward more stable conditions in re- cent years. Increasing contact with the outside world and realization Of the evils of revolution, he said are arousing a strong public demani for the settlement of political dis putes by peaceful means.
 "A complete and salutary change in the politac latmosphere" of the Nlcaraguan republic has been ac- complished, he said, with the estab- llshment of government "unques- tionably representing the majority of the people" and with prospect Of fair contest in the next election in 1882
 Mrs, Helena Hill Weed of Nor walk, Connecticut. formerly corrc- spondent for the nation with the Forbes commission in Haiti. deClar- cd No responsible official of the United States government has ever asserted that the Haitian interven- ton, save in it's very first days was justified by law or conscience. Whatever newspapers may have said, or officials may have hinted al, the official findings of ever; government investigation of the question have proved quite the con- trary. The intervention has been one of pure self-interest at the ex- pense of Haitian independence anl territorial sovereignty"
 Wants World Court
