Defendant Wins
 in $5,OOO Suit
Jury Deliberates One Hour Before Returning :.
 Verdict

After deliberaung about an hour I joury returned defendants ver- Gict in the $5,000 civil action of Emily Pace against Edith Lease In superior court today. The plain tiff sought to recover for injuries she suffered when she was struck by the defendants motorcycle on North Main street on July 7th, 1880.
 The plaintiff testified she was crossing North Main street to her home at SIP North Main street when she was run down by the cycle sustaining severe injuries. It was maintained by the plaintiff that the defendant kept the cycle for the use of her son, Clarence Allen but that on the day of the accident the machine was being operated by David Piercey.
 Yesterday afternoon, Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis representing the defendant, moved for a non- suit on the grounds that the plain tiff had failed to prove ownership of the cycle and also failed to es- tablish the agency between the defendant and the driver of the machine.
 Judge John Richards Booth oc- cupied about three quarters of an hour in delivering the charge to the jury which elected George L.. Clark of Milford as its foreman. The firm of Gager & Cohway repre- sented the plaintiff.

 New York, Nov 1e.-(UP)--A substantial recovery in railroad shares along with a rising grain market turned the stock market upward to-day after early irregu- 1arity.
 Nearly all stocks were up frac- tions to more than points as the trading reached the fifth hour. Volume continued small.
 The turn in railroad shares came simultaneously with the presenta- ton to the interstate commerce commission of the railroads sug- gestions for use of funds to be de- rived from increased freight rates.
 The railroads plan was in line with expectations, namely forma- tion of 8 credit pool to lend the funds to the weak roads rather than give them the money out right. These loans were to be paid back by the carriers.
 Another item in favor of the roads was word that railroad labor had drawn up a definite program which was to be laid before ex- ecutives this afternoon. This pro- gram, 1t was learned, would in- volve discussion of shorter hours, thus increasing the number of men employed; pensions and low CT wages. The railroad executives and representatives of brother hoods were In session this after noon. and their meetings were ex-

 The whole action was part of a plot of Superintendent Charles l.. McCorkle to oust Dr West from of- flee, Nicely said. He accused Me- Corkle of seeking Dr Vests dis missal because he feared the prin- cipal was to be elected superin- tendent.
 Assistant District Attorney John D. Downes in the first state argu- ment said the case should have been settled by the school board. "when the board found, it was in hot water, 1t passed the buck to the prosecuting ofiice," Downes said.
 He said the evidence against pr West could not be disregarded even though the method of obtain ing evidence was "distasteful."
 '"The states attorney apoiogized for the states case" former Judge I, G. Lazelle, presenting the first defense argument, said. "He in- jected into the story that West Is fighting for his salary, not to vindi- cate hts good name. He knows that is O lie. because West Is on leave of absence on full pay"

SOME FACTS ABOUT LIFE IN WATERBURY.
Strong Reasons Advanced as to Why Milk Fund
 Should Be Supported
ALL FEEL HARD TIMES

The sale of tickets for the Milk Fund game Thanksgiving morning began yesterday and already re- suits indicate that the school chil- dren who are selling the tickets in- tend to put the game over.
 Columbia school, in addition to its allotment, has requested 300 additional pasteboards. Driggs has asked for 50 more, and five other schools have also sent in request for more.
 It has already been announced that Supt Donovan has offered a $20 gold piece to the high school pupil selling the greatest number of tickets and $10 piece to the grade student disposing of the greatest number. To-day, one of the grade principals, added $5 prize for the grade student selling the second highest number.
 There are very few indeed who have not been adversely affected by the period of economic depres- sion through which the country has passed during the past two years. Nearly every one of us have felt hard times" in one way or another. and we perhaps have all done our share of complaining. When we read of situations such as we are hereabout to describe, how ever, we suddenly realize that for the great majority of us at least, things could be far worse.
 Right here in our own city, Is family of six persons, the par ents and four children ranging from one and one-half years to 12. The father. an honest, hard work ing man has been out of work for months, but has been employed part time by the city. The mother Is an invalid, her condition prl- marily due to lack of proper nour- lshment. For years the parents worked in an endeavor to pay for a little one-family house. Out of-work, with no regular wages, the father has been unable to meet payments, the mortgage has been foreclosed, and the house lost Pretty hard. And the children? :? They are at school every day, poor, bewildered, youngsters on whom misfortune has early placed q heavy hand. They are among those to whom milk is given every morning. The giving of half pint of milk day Is n tragically slight thing to be doing for such youngsters. but even that cannot continue to be done in the schools, unless money for the Milk Fund comes from some source. That source must be the citizens of Waterbury. If children like these are to be kept in health, they must have food, for lacking the latter they will soon be without the for mer. Support for this Milk Fund means carrying many little chaps through this period of crisis. until hard-working men and women, brought by misfortune to distress, may once more be able to provide adequately for their children.
 If you cannot send contribu- ton to pr Donovan, buy ticket for the Milk Fund game Thanks giving morning. Fifty cents, the price of ticket, Is all we ask. Ten thousand tickets sold means $5.000 and that means milk for the kids.
