 At the end of the fourth inning time was called for few moments while the two cedar chests which were giv- en by the Putnam State Trade School Athletic Association were drawn off. The large chest. first prize, went to Miss Nellie Cutler, Shore Avenue, Norwich. and the small chest. second prize, was won by George eomager, lewett City

of some other person when she made the assault that nearly became a mur- der.
 Mrs. Zella was asked by the pro scouting attorney whether or not Mrs. Zemba had ever threatened her before. She said she had not directly made threats to her but had told man that she would "get her." Mrs. Zella.
 During the testimony of Mrs. Zella. Mrs. Zemba talked considerably in Polish and at one time smiled. She is a woman apparently in the fifties, wears glasses. and was dressed cheap ly. She wore gray coat, white stockings and black shoes.
 After Brzuch had been sworn as in- terpreter he was requested to tell Mrs. Zemba that she was charged with shooting Mary Zella and trying to kill her. Through the interpreter she re- piled about "some man" the inference being that she was acting for an- other. The defendant admitted that she did shoot Mrs Zemba but said that she did not intend to kill her. She said she fired the first shot to frighten Mrs Zemba and that the next two shots. the ones that took effect, she fired to hit her hand.
 Mrs. Zella is 36 years old. Her hus- band is John Zella and they have six children. Little is known of Mrs. Zemba It is said that she calls Jew ett City her home. She has been seen hanging around Putnam. often at the railroad station. 1t is believed that she had been sleeping outdoors. She ap- pears greatly under nourished. Even though the city has provided food for the woman since she has been locked up she has eaten but little, the officers say, complaining that food distresses her. She has stated that she procur- ed the revolver last March but has given no explanation as to why she got it.
 Following the adjournment of court Prosecuting Attorney Johnson said that there is a statute which allows the sheriff of the county to ask the su- perior court to appoint a commission to examine prisoners where there is doubt as to their mental responsibil- ity and it is thought that this proce- dure will be taken in the case of Mrs. Zemba.

 the third bullet grazed her throat. Mrs. Zella then ran to the city dump where some men were at work to seek protection. Peter A. Gardner, city health officer, was at the dump. He took the wounded woman to the Day kimball Hospital. After her wounds were dressed she was discharged. Mrs. zemba was later taken into custody as she was walking along Grove St.
 The motive for the shooting does not seem clear. It ia said that the Zella's have some furniture that Mrs. Zemba claims and that she demanded that 1t be turned over to her. The demand was refused. Since that time 1t is thought that the woman has erooded over the matter. It has also been intimated. by the woman herself, that she was carrying out the wishes

RELIEF FROM CURSE
 OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Creek physician says, Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause"
 But immediate relief has been found. A tabet called Rexall Order nes has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the system into the lazy. dry, evacuating bowel called the colon. The water foosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle, thor eugh, natural movement without form ing a habit or ever increasing the dose.
 Stop suffering from constipation. Chew a Rexail Orderlie at night. Next day bright. Get 2z for 25c today at the nearest Rexall Drug Store--Wii- ifs B. Carroll.

PoMFRET LOSES
 IN CLOSE GAME

A pitchers battle between Back more and Frenko ended in to 0 win for Franko of Warrenville. each pitcher allowed ' hits and walked one man. Playing fine ball and aided by their very competent coach, Rev. William Dunn, Warrenville held the Pomfret Town Team scoreless. Father Dunn's team scored one run in the third and one in the eighth inning making a very interesting game.
 Blackmore opened Pomfret's sixth with a single. Donlon followed with sacrifice hit and T. Hanley. running for Blackmore. tried to make third and was thrown out sliding into the base. Pomfret lost q good chance of scoring here as Kelley sent a smashing double after Donlon had sacrificed.
 The Town Teams rooters showed their loyalty as it was estimated fully two hundred followed the team to Warrenvile. Father Dunn will ap- pear in Pomfret at a later date and a record crowd is looked forward to.

AN ELECTION IN SA\ID
 DOMINGO

An important line in the news rom Sauto Domingo is that the revolution there which overthrow the government was consummatcd without bloodsheI or loss Of life What happened was this: The idea Of opposition 10 the prevailing ad- mins,raton took hold Of the ma iority Of the people, and as 2 fai" and honest election in Santo Do- mingo is more often promised thaH carried out. II Was necessary to change the administration hy q show of force Ordinarily this would have involved fighting the admins tration's troops. But reyolution succeeds quickly if the troops go over to the revolutionists. That is what happened in Santo Domingo. the national guard seeming 10 share the popular distaste for the prevail ing administration and being per fccuy willing 10 loan their services 10 the governmental opponents.
 Thus one town after the other was taken o.yr all within a few days The insurgents had all the guns and that was all that counted during the sumpmary election. The clocton- or reyoIution-startcd Sunday and by Tuesday all the towns and pub lie buildings in the Dominican Re public were in the hands Of the na- fioual guard and the entire island was as quiet as usual
 It takes two days or so for the national guard 10 reach all the necessary towns and for,rcsses in the Republic. Perhaps il takes this long b,cau-c some oC the travel must he done on foot. AS none ot the goyrrnmeu, officials. from the president down, were in q position 10 offer resistance, and ds the ma tonaI guard vas bound 10 haze its way, inc revolution was quick and satisfactory to the insurgents
 To lhe general public it must hay- been 2 good show ali around. Per hapS there now is some hope Of low er 'aHrs and less bureaucracy.
 l. in time the nrw snt-up turns out 10 he no better than the old, ~hy. tho national guard can simply no0d another election in tba 'me- houorcd manner,

A BILAILD DISCOVERY

The civic era of one surprise alt- CT another has resulted in the h.- lated discovery that according 10 the city charter there is no such ofic- as assistant corporation counsel. The Mayor, who added this finding as an encore 70 the comptrollership con troversy, cites the charter and tells interested officials that from now or the advice of an assistant corpora ton counsel is Of no particular value to the city-unless such counsel is obtained with the consent Of the Mayor.
 The corporation counsel at pres ent is out Of the country and vii. not be back for several months, It is quite likely that he left under the impression that Mir. Camp would attend to the ci,y's legal affairs dur ing his absence; if he had thought otherwise he probably would haye mentioned the subject to the Mayor before leaving. This suggests, too, that the corporation counsel also probably was under the impression there were no techuicallucs pres. ent 10 prevent the fuuCtionm9 O. his assistant corporation counsel
 It is peculiar business all around. Let all the city officials be- gin studying the charter most assiduously, so that other little CT TOTS of government, if they exist, may be found. r city business is tc he conducted in complete accord with the charter this document will require more than porfunctory patching at every legislative session only 10 be shelyed and foreotten be- tween such sessions. Perhaps ], would be wise 10 appoint new commission to study the charter 10 ascertain whether there are any other points not being followed.

Nevertheless the monthly arrests for drunkenness for 1929 is 5l4 as com pared with $40 for the previous three year period. or an increase of 5GG.
 In a table of convictions for in dictablc offences, or fclonics for the Province, the percentage of increase from 192G-192S was 4lct.
 Americans reading the Canadian report would be msled by the table Of the commission which shows that one fourth Of the arrests for drunk cnnesS in Montreal are of foreigners, A proper translation of the French word would be non residents, for il includes those who are visiting the city from any other place in the pro- vince or the Dominion. The number of Americans arrested in Montreal for all offences is not over per cent of the total arrests.
 The sale Of beer in the province is not controlled by the Commission but is sold by licensed tavcrns. Because the sale of beer in the taVerus has not increased at so great a rate as the sale of wine and spirits in the IlSpElISdl itS- tllti . lS tI i'fiNoiluhI' contention raised by the friends Of sobriety 10 have the wine and spirit" also sold in the tavorns. This o' course would simply mean q return to the saloon system.
 II is hard 10 find anything in tn" report that would lead an American 10 believe that Quebec has found solution 10 the liquor problem. The bright side of the picture is the lar2o number of American tourists who come to Quebec to crpoy good liquor" and the money that they leave behind. But there are those who do not wish 10 make their pro vince 8 place of dissipation or 10 live on American tips. They would like to sec real industries organized, mo dern farm machinery introduced ant real production stimulated so that they might have money to improNc the scanty educational opportunities afforded Quebec youth. They wish tc improve living conditions and cni down the present fearful and unn"c- ossarv high death rate, but this lS quite impossible with the present drinking habits of the people Of the province.
 When some prominent American visitor comes 10 Montreal, his on thusiasm is sometimes so kindled b> the tastes of its liquor that every thing looks rosy 10 him, and he i' blind 10 the misery and short com ings of the people in that province caused by the liquor traffic there.

PAVING THE INSTtILNII\IS

IL was said by various economists several years ago that when the in evitable commercial and industrial slowup arrives the billions Of dollars obligated on installment purchases would intensity the situation. Thou sands, if not millions, of citizens, 1t was said, would find it more con yeniont 10 cease paying their in stallmcnts and thus give up their equities in the property being pur- chased on the payment plan.
 Sufficient time has elapsed since the stock crash 10 gain fair knowledge of the effect of install ncnt selling in such contingency. T. appears that the dire expccta- tons have not matcrializcd. Rcturn- ed goods have not glutted the market. People as q rule continue 10 pay their instalments, even if it ncCessitatcs the subtraction Of the money from capital account-that is to say. from savings. The last thing the average individual thinks Of doing is 10 pass up possibility Of owning something on which he has already made substantial payments
 There is no denying. either, that many lines of business will be accelerated considerably when q fair proportion Of the outstanding in stallmeut accounts are paid out, Such liquidation is steady and con ~tant.
