If Willie Buck, 54, of 20 Union street had stuck to the maxim as- sociated with all Chinese laundry owners and said 'No tickee, no shirtee," he would not have been in police court this morning. But Willie, a long time resident of this city has become more or less &C., quainted with American custom and decided to depart from the iron -clad rule about the absence of the ticket equalling no laundry and as a result he was arraigned before Judge John F. McGrath this morning on charges of embezzle- ment by bailee. A continuance of a week was entered.
 When Willie was asked to plead to the charge he rambled off on a long story in which he dropped into the Chinese sing song voca- bulary. Prosecutor Emil Hummel asked Attorney Fred Bauby, ap- bearing for Willie what the &C., cused was saying.
 Attorney Bauby explained to the court that Willie had taken some laundry from one Joaquin Llorca of 10 Chatfield avenue, and as usual, handed the patron a Chin ese ticket. A day or so later an- other youth came in and said he lost his laundry ticket but explain ed he was in dire need of his clothes. Sympathetic Willie asked the youth to look over the laun- dry in his store and select the clothes he thought belonged to him.
 The youth chose clothes he be- Iieved were his own and departed, after signing his initials on the ticket attached to the laundry. Then Joaquin entered the shop and exhibiting his laundry ticket asked for his laundry. Woe betide Will lie,-he had given Joaquin's laun- dry to the other youth. His ex-

THURSDAY DATE
 FOR DOLLAR DAY
Biggest Shopping Event Ever Held in the Brass
 City
WATCH THE PAPERS

The proposed Dollar Day to be held in Waterbury through the CO., operation of members of the Wa terbury Merchants Bureau is as- suming the proportions and all the aspects of an old fashioned county fair. Thursday, date of the big day, has been red-Iettered by prospec- tive buyers who have been watch ing the calendar since the date of the initial announcement.
 The stores will make 1t day long to be remembered when they post their banners announcing in big letters the respective bargains to be offered and the shoppers will stage a parade lasting from the opening of the stores doors until the 5anitors order a halt and lock the doors again at night.
 All that will be missing to make 1t a real old fashioned fair day will be a band. There was some talk of signing Pete Shea and his Matta- tuck Drum Corps to give an old time concert on the green but to date nothing definite has been done in that respect. Merchants how ever, feel that they need no brass band to tell the Waterbury buyers of the wonderful bargains to be offered on Thursday.
 They feel that when the shop pers stroll into their respective stores the goods themselves will answer all questions and speak for themselves as to their quality. They explain that there will be no unloading of unsaleable stock on Dollar Day but instead the goods will be of the finest quality we'll worth the purchase price.
 The merchants will do all in their power to make this dollar day a success and leave it up to the shoppers to come to town to hold up their end. All signs point to the looked for success because already the buyers are laying plans to storm the stores in a big way. It is reported that by the time the stores close there will be nothing left for the salespeople in the stores to do but clean the counters of sales markers and price tickets. It is the plan of good many of the buyers to make a day of 1t by starting early in the morning and continuing their shopping through out the day. This can be done easily for when hunger signs make them selves felt, there are innumerable places around the shopping district where the purchasers can stop in for q brief respite and appease their appetites.
 Watch the papers for announce ments concerning this big day, Dol lar Day. and remember the date, THURSDAY!

DOCTOR DOYLE OF NEW YORK HOLDS
 THE SPOTLIGHT
Sentence of 30 Days for Contempt Approved But Seabury Gets No Answer to Questions

New York. Aug 1.-CUPL)-- The legislature of New York, most populous state in the union. may be called into special session to force an answer from the re- luctant lips of Dr William F. Doyle, who refused to answer questions that "tend to incrimin- ate." He is now in jail for con- tempt because of that refusal.
 Doyle has been asked if he split with politicians any of the esti- mated $2,000,000 in fees he re- ceived for obtaining permits from the board of standards and ap- peals. He has refused to name the persons with whom he shared his huge income.
 The ruling of the court of ap- peals at Albany yesterday. affirm ing Doyle's 30-day sentence on the contempt charge. stipulated that Doyle could be held in contempt only for refusing to answer the Hoifstadter legislative committees s questions on the bribery of public officials.
 This opened up number of possibilities.
 One was that Doyle might an- swer the question relating to brib- cry, thus purging himself of con- tempt. and go free. When he ap- peared before the committee Sam uel Seabury, prosecutor, asked him a number of questions not specifically related to bribery of public officials. Doyle refused to answer, but he did say he never split nickel" with the standards board"
 Another possibility was that the legislature might not be able to vote wider autohrity to the committee until after he ex- piration of Doyles sennetce. In the meantime Doyle might be able to return to his home in Deal, N. J., and remain permanently out of the Jurisdiction of the commit tee.
 Meanwhile, United Press dis patches from St Johns, Que, where Gov Franklin D. Roose- welt stopped overnight on his homeward journey after an in- spection of St Lawrence river power sights, indicated he was res ceptlve to q request for a special session.
 Lacking official word of the courts decision. Roosevelt de- clined to comment. But mem- Der of his party said the go~ ernor probably would call the legislators together if asked to do so by Seabury.

TOMMY LOUGHRAN, using high
i ~ specialized left hand with I'M
usual skill, has como a long way
in his struggle to mingle with the best
in the heavyweight division, after the
Sharkey affair. His two finest per-
formances were against Max Baer and
Ernie Schaaf. Campolo may be a
harder barrier to hurdle. No one can
say for sure. as the tall South Ameri-
can has fought SO little in the last nine
months. He may be as rusty as an old
hinge. He has needed much more
active competition than his mana3eTc
have provided, but in spite of this he
will be hard for Loughran to take #
he is at MS best.
Loughran is the best boxer now
working in any class. But Campoio is
a fair boxer and much harder
puncher, so it will be up to Loughran
to keep the tall one OF his balance
most Of the evening. At least this is
the first Spring chance TO see what the
heavyweights have to offer in the face
Of a large slump.
Just what the difference Is between
base balls used in the two big leagues
has not yet been definitely established.
The five leading A. L. hitters average
over 10 points above the five leading

too young for these vital statistics to
stand as final proof. The American
League ball looks a trife livelier. but
mid May is no spot to prove any clear
