Donations of vegetables, fruit
meat or anything in the edible line
will be greatly appreciated at the

task of providing 200 meals is found
to be more costly than anticipated

A reclaimer petition has been hled for the hats included in the bank rupt stock of Boyd's Haberdashery
 store. formerly located in the
 Brown Block in Exchange place, IL was announced at the regular ses- sion of the United States bankruptcy court before Referee Carleton l.. HoadIey this morning. The report of the trustee was to be given m

 Phillip Bernstein stated 10 the court that reclaimer petition nau been filed and he was waiting the arrival of the lawyer for the com pany filing the petition. The case
 was adjourned until the attorneys
 arrival.
 The petition ip bankruptcy was filed bv Sidney YavetZ, former pro nrietor. and the first meeting of creditors was held two weeks ago at the last court session. Attorney Mill ion H. Meyers was appointed trus- tee at that time. :, Because one of the creditors had
 received a judgment in the common
 pleas court against one or the appl,- cants in bankruptcy Referee Hoad- lev allowed that creditor to take nossession of the car listed as one Of inc assets. The unusual situation arose in the case of Emile Gagnon, former garage proprietor. Ills as sets were listed as about SZoo against liabilities of around S4oo. Included in the assets was a Paise car. 1927 model, which Deputy Sheriff Benjamin l.. Brady had at tached last November G. Kenyon, vice president of the Kenyon Motor ;v,a plained to the court that the com mon pleas judgment had been en- tered one day before Gagnon had gone into bankruptcy. Releree Hoadley gave permission for the Kenyon company to sell the car ana poly the proceeds against the plll owed the company by Gagnon. No trustees or appraisers were ap- pointed in the cases of Jan Gakapa or William J. Blechner who listed no assets. Liabilities in the case of Ca kaba were listed as $500 and in the case of Blechner as $1,4OO.
 Attorney Fred c. Dauch was ap- nointed trustee in the case of the Malfronte Motors, Inc, whose assets were listed as $1,000 against liabil-
 ities of about $S,00O.

 them to be installed in house In
 the East End. Referee Hoadley con- timed the case temporarily. Attor-
 ney Max Traurig. trustee in the case of c. E. Johnson Electric company

 He will continue his investigation but it will be some time before he makes his finding as he has several other cases under consideration. The cause of death, according to coroner, was a crushed chest.

BATTLE OF BALLOTS
 AT NAUCATUCK Democrats Have the Top Lever in Election Con-
 test To-day MEANS MORE VOTES
MEANS MORE.
CBy Democrat Staff Man)

Hartford. May 1.-The secretary of states office to-day was aware of two instances where pulling the "top lever' on voting machines meant votes for the democratic party rather than for the g. o. p. candi- dates. One of these places was Naugatuck. where the regular an- nual borough election was taking place.
 When the democrats last fall suc- ceedcd' in electing q democratic gov ernor, they gained the right of hay Ing their party lever placed at the top of the voting machines instead of in second place. While the demo- crats maintain a governor in office, they will be entitled to hold this position.
 Heretofore. due to the many years that the republicans have controlled the state offices. many have come to the conclusion that the democratic lever belonged in second place on the votin gmachines and that the g. o. p. lever had alright to the top place.

~ UR good old Potomac River Is
real muddy. Wednesday the
river was badly discolored, but
yesterday more mud came
downstream and changed its color, so
that it looks like a we'll baked loaf Of
bread. 1t will be at least a week, or
perhaps 10 days, before it is clear
enough to permit anglers to cast for
the rockfish
Quite few bass were reported caught
last week end between Chain Bridge
and Little Falls. Other anglers, using
the Snagging method, landed 80 shad
and few herring. and still others.
fishing for catfish and carp, landed the
former weighing as high as is pounds
and the latter from 20 to 81.
From the lower Potomac George
Knight, our correspondent at Leonard
town, reports that l., B. Huntington,
trolling, caught 80 rockfish. These fish
weighed from To 10 pounds and were
caught off Tall Timbers, Ragged Point
and in the mouth of Brettons Bay.
E o. Craig, a Washington angler,
fishing off Lovers Point, in Brettons
Bay. landed 40 hardheads, weighing
from to 8 pounds
Knight reported that hardheads are
biting well in the lower Potomac and
that the big majority of the fish caught
are being landed by using soft crab as
bait. He said there are plenty OF soft
crabs. When asked about the trout. he
replied that only few are being taken
by rod-and-reel anglers.
Good reports have been received from
