MLXUPS FEATURE
 POLITICAL FIELD
Party Lines Ignored in Several
 Heated Campaigns

Washington, Oct. 21 R-Political cross currents are forcing a patch work design in the 1880 congress sional campaign with both parties involved in the occasional mixups.
 In scattered contests over the na- tion, democrats are supporting re- publicans, republicans campaigning for democrats, vets supporting drys in some instances and drys espous- ing campaigns of vets.
 The tumble of party labels is per haps most noticeable in Pennsyl- vania where some republican leaders have announced opposition to the re- publican gubernatorial nominee. Clifford Pinchot, while some dry democratic chieftains have deserted their candidate, John Hemphill. to announce for the dry republican nominee.
 La Toilette to Talk
 Out in the northwest, Senator La Toilette, republican, of Wisconsin. is preparing to take the stump in behalf of two democratic candidates, Senator Thomas J. Walsh in Mon Colorado.
 Reports of party switches come from the heated Nebraska senatorial race where Senator George W. Nor lis, republican opponent of the Hoover administration, is fighting Gilbert N. Hitchcock, democratic nominee. MT. Hitchcock received assurance of support from the democratic senatorial committee after he had demanded explanation of published report that the com- mittee was pursuing a hands off, policy In his campaign.
 Down in Alabama, the republicans refrained from putting up sena- torial candidate in the race between Senator Heflin and John H. Bank head, the democratic nominee. Hefin was forced from the demo- cratic ticket for his failure to sup port the presidential candidacy of Alfred E. Smith in 1928.
 The wet and dry issue is just as well mixed up. There are dry dem ocrats and wet democrats, dry re- publicans and wet republicans, with all degrees of dampness in between.
 Senator Fess of Ohio, the chair man of the republican national committee and an advocate of na- tional prohibition, is working as hard for the reDublica0 eaoaforj q l candidates in states where they happen to be wet as for those in states where their platform is dry. Senator Tydings. of Maryland, the chairman of the democratic sena- torial campaign committee, is an un-relenting foe of national prohibit ton but he is giving as much at tention to the campaign of dry dem ocratic nominees as of the vets.

BLOOMS AND FRUIT
 GROWING ON TREE
DeYine Picks Apple From One
 Side, Blossoms From Other

A new freak of nature, a Baldwin apple tree with blossoms on one side and ripe apples on the other, has been discovered by Thomas J. Devine of South High street, this city, in Addingham, Pa, where ne is vacationing.
 Fearing that his statements on the matter would not be believed Devine went to the trouble to pack the blossom and ripe apple in q cheese box and send them with letter to a friend in this city. It cost him 27 cents in postage stamps to send the parcel but he figures it would be cheap compared with the price in effort he would have to put forward in trying to prove it to the boys about the "Tabs" rooms.
 His letter follows:
 "Winsted has nothing on this place. Even Ripley himself would be surprised. Between kicking over pheasants in the paths as you walk and picking up freaks of nature l am having a great time.
 T am sending you one of the freaks. This is off a Baldwin apple tree on J. J. Foleys farm here in Addingham, Pa On one side of the tree it is loaded with ripe apples and on the other side with apple blossoms.
 T know if I were to go home and say that this happened they would say they always thought l was crazy but now they know it. This is wny I am sending you the apples and the blossoms from the same tree.
 Sincerely.
 TT. J. DEV1NE."

 SPEEDING DRIVER
Bristol Man, Objecting to Police
 Methods Here, Fined

'The officer didn't pull it right" was the complaint made at this mornings session of police court by Anthony Mastroboni of "A Barnes street, Bristol, when he was arraign- ed on a charge of speeding.
 The complaint didn't carry much weight with tho court, however, for despite the fact that the policeman's method did not meet with the ap- proval of Mastroboni he was found guilty and fined $10 and costs.
 Mastroboni was arrested about 10:15 o'clock last night by Officer James Cronin after a chase from the corner of Broad and High streets through North street to Oak street. The officer testified that the Bristol man was travelling at the rate of 5D miles per hour on Oak street. He had been drinking but was not suf- ficiently under the influence Of liquor to be charged with drunken driving according to the allegations of the arresting officer.
 Mastroboni's complaint that things were not done right in New Britain was made when he took the stand to testify. He prefaced his remarks with the statement that he thought the whole affair a joke when the officer pulled up alongside of his car accompanied by girl. He fur ther< stated that if Officer Cronin had been any kind of q policeman he would have mentioned something about his tail light being out.
 After having listened attentive;y to the story of the Bristol man Prosecuting Attorney Joseph C. Woods interrupted him to remarl, that he surely must have felt out ragged.
 When asked by the prosecutor if he had been drinking last night Mastroboni said: "I woud't say that" He did modify that state ment to the effect of saying that whatever the officer said must be right after listening to Sergeant Feeney who was on the desk when he was brought in tell the court that there was a decidedly strong oiOl ol dINOilol oll HIS DTtdIll.
 Fined For Beating Wife
 Michael Gobrenowicz, 34, of 145 Cleveland street, who was arrested last night at S:30 by Officer William Politis and charged with assaulting his wife was fined $10 and costs by Judge Stanley J. Traceski who found him guilty of the charge.
 He also placed the man on proba- tion with the remark that he should send him to Jail. AS Gobrenowicz was leaving the stand the judge re- marked that one sure way for him to get himself into jail was to ap- pear before him again on a charge of beating his wife
 His wife appeared on the witness stand to testify with d badly bruis- cd and discolored eye as the result of the husbands attack yesterday.
