Quick
for fretful
upset children

A IL children are subject to little
"A upsets. They come at unex-
pected times. They seem twice az
serious in the dead Of night. But
there's one form Of comfort on
which a mother can always rely;
good old Castoria. This pure vege-
table preparation can't harm the
tiniest infant. Yet mild as it is, it
soothes a restless, fretful baby like
nothing else. Its quick relief soon
sees the youngster comfortable once
more, back to sleep. Even an attack
of collie, or diarrhea, yields to the
soothing influence of Castoria.
Keep Castoria in mind, and keep
a bottle in the house-always.
Give it to any child whose tongue is
coated, or whose breath is bad.
Continue with Castoria until the
child is grown!

Finnei Hunter, 21, colored. of 27 Vine street was charged with breach of the peace in police court this morning, According to the testimony of his wife, Hunter when he is slightly 'gin-ized" goes a. hunting for her with 8 knife. To prevent practices from developing into a habit Mrs Hunter has found occasion to call the police into their home several times. Judge John F. McGrath to bring the do- mestic issues of the Hunters to a the warning couple until to-mor- row morning to make up their minds. Either Hunter is going to pledge his word to discontinue flashing knives or he is going to find new place of residence. If he fails to find one of his own choosing the court has promised him a steam-heated apartment on Whalley avenue, New Haven, some times called the county jail.
 Hunter on the witness stand to- day claimed that his wife has been trying to make things uncomfort- able for him. He claims that he was ''perfectly all right" the other morning when two cops entered his house, punched him q couple of times, searched him and made him take off his shoes. When he put the shoes on his feet again his sister-in-1aw ran out of the house and called another cop. When Hunter walked into police court yesterday morning and inquired of

 Shouts and curses came from ! the prison courtyard, mingled with the orders of guards and soldiers. Prison officials withheld all information.
 Soldiers arrived with bayonetted rifles and machine guns. Meanwhile, attachments of guards and officers spread out in search for the warden and the six escaped convicts.
 Nearly two hours after the es- cape no word of the warden's fate had come to the Leavenworth po- lice department or the sheriff's off, flee.
 The convicts fled west from Leavenworth in an automobile which was parked outside the pris- on, but wrecked it in a ditch a short distance from the city. From there they apparently fled on foot, taking the warden with them. A search of the automobile and on the ground around it failed to show any blood spots.
 Prison officials two hours after the escape still withheld the names of the fugitive convicts.
 It was established the car in which the convicts drove away from the prison walls belonged to hunter who had parked it near the penitentiary. Prison officials at first believed the car might have been left there by accomplices.

 After the judge has told Powers that he must die, Powers counsel, J. Ed Law, will move for new trial.
 The motion will be overruled au- tomatically and then Law will say to the upper court that his client could not have fair trial for three reasons, namely:
 He was tried in a community seething with rage against him. 2-He was denied the opportun- ity of presenting the two mythical characters who might have done the murders.
 3-The state did not break down in any point Powers story that the last time he saw the woman he IS accused of murdering in Clarks- burg, West Virginia, was in Union town, Pa, a month before her death.
 The opera house was packed by townspeople as Farmer Nathan Richards strode into the court room and returned the jury's verdict. The crowd was convinced that the stocky Powers was guilty not only of Mrs Lemke's murder

MADRID LOSES
 BIG CITY TITLE

id.-(UP)-Spain has just completed another census, which reveals that it yet has no city with a million residents.
 Great pains were atken to count every one in Barcelona, the larg- est city of Spain. in the hope that the census would show 1.0OO,0OO residents. But the tabulations de- veloped that Barcelona had failed by 22,869.
 Even though the Catalan capi- tai Is not in the million class. 1t has had 0 remarkable growth. Ac- cording to the census of 1920. It's total population was 710,3S5. and according to the calculations made by the municipal government in 1928, 1t had 840,931 inhabitants
 As in most Continental Euro pean cities, there is a big surplus of women over men. The differ ence is S7,13s, which means there are approximately 9 per cent more women than men.
 Many years ago Barcelona and Madrid were big rivals in the ques- ton of population, but recently Barcelona has forged ahead. n 1920 Madrid was still ahead, with 75O,seG, but in 1928 it alrendy was behind Barcelona, Madrid then having s0e, 400 inhabitants.

day seized Warden Thomas B White, broke the locks of the front gate of the prison and fled with the warden in an automobile.
 The men, all known as desperate criminals, were armed with dy- namite. As they fled through the gate, they closed it behind them, and then smashed the locks in such a way as to prevent anyone either entering or leaving the prison.
 They forced White in the auto- mobile and started across coun- try. A few miles away pursuers found the car wrecked by the roadside.
 They reported that there was no blood in the car, and no sign of either the warden or the prisoners.
 They were believed to have fled into nearby woods, taking White with them.
 Details of the escape were not at once available. It was not known how the men had been able to escape from their cells and reach the warden's office.
 Sheriff Roy Murray ordered every available man to the prison. while machine gun squads were sent out. There was confusion in- side the prison, and it was feared a riot was in progress.
 Entrance could not be gained at once by endorsements from the sheriff's office and the city police due to the smashed locks which held the gates shut.
 Shouts and curses. intermingled with sharp commands. could be heard from outside the walls.
 The names of the escaped men could not be learned at once. Off cers in the prison, reached by phone, refused to discuss the af- fair, saying they had no time to talk and 1t was from city police

 The story of McGraw's lifelong battle against diversity and afflic- tion, of 20 years as a paper ped dler on a street corner. of his fru- gality so he could buy a small home, and his struggle to meet payments on the home, was re- vealed when a mortgage company elected him from the house.
 But McGraw's spirit, that car ried him through many tight sit uation, was not beaten.
 McGraw conceived the idea Of benefit dance, the proceeds to be used to reclaim his home. The owner of a large home, admiring McGraw's spirit, offered it rent free. Police authorities joined in his plan. An orchestra volunteered its services. School boys said they would act as ushers.
 Others joined enthusiastically in the ticket sale, assuring the blind veteran that he will recover his modest home

 Chairman Edouard Herriot, for mer premier of France, vainly shouted and pounded for silence, and refused the suggestions of del- egates on the speakers platform that the meeting be adjourned. When Alanson B. HouGhton, for ner U. $. ambassador to Germany. arose to deliver a speech for which he had crossed the Atlantic, he was howled down. Other delegates sat with hands to ears to drown out the clamorous jeering.
 Police failed to restore order. Only three arrests were made. The rioting lasted two and half hours, and was rebroadcast to all of France until one of the agitators tore the microphone from the wall. When Herriot finally con- scented to adjourn, the peace" meeting was ended.

 Almost immediately thereafter the commanding officer of the mill itary post at Fort Leavenworth was requested to send troops.
 The car in which the convicts escaped was parked short dis tance from the prison entrance.
 Whether 1t was left there by ac- complices on the outside or whether 1t belonged to one of the prison employees was not known.
 Crowds of curious began gather ing around the penitentiary, but were kept at a distance.
 All guards on all shifts were summoned to the prison.
 There was some delay in getting additional guards into the prison. The gates finally were forced and thrown open and the extra guards rushed into the prison building.

 Paris, Dec 11-On the night when Senator William E. Borah, chairm.s Of the foreign relations committee, was to have Teen heard by transatlantic radio at a peace and disarmament meeting held in the Palais du Trocadero. thousands of militant F'renchmen crashed the gate. And the result was the wild est tumult that Paris has heard since the armistice.
 There were thousand. pacifist delegates, representing 30 nations in the International Union of League of Nations Associations. But arrayed against them, with voices, fists and canes, were some 1000 shouting, bowling, cat-call- ing French patriots.
 ''Vive la Francep drowned every attempt to read messages of peace. Anti-fascist yells of Murderer" greeted the Italain representative who attempted to speak. "Liar!" screamed other troublemakers at the German delegate.

 The squabbling, chiefly between Lenz and Culbertson. had its origin in Lenz's protest that Culbertson was delaying the game. Neither the Culbertson approach forcing bidding system or the Lenz one-two-three system had any marked advantage in the play or last nights game. The most interesting hand of the tournament to date, was deal lO9, which ended play about 1880 a, mr and trying to find a system in the bidding of it would drive an actu- ary crazy.

M LenZ dealt, and bid one clup without outside strength. Mrs Cul- bertson had as perfect an inform atory double as could be imagined MT Jacoby stuck in redoubie which must be classed as a border line psychic.
 MT Culbertson, knowing that his wife held somewhat more than three quick tricks, chanced a one spade bid, wanting to show strength but being unable to bid no trump with no club stopper. MT Lenz passed and Mrs Culbertson bid two spades, fearing to raise higher without an ace in another sult;
 MT Culbertson seeing from ms hand that Mrs Culbertson could not possibly hold more than one and one-half quick tricks in dia- monds and hearts combined. ana supposing from the one club double that she had little or nothing m the line of high cards In that suit, knew she must have at least ace, queen and one in spades. But since she had no suit worth bidding over the spades, is seemed evident that she must have four. probably 10 ace, queen. jack or ace, king, Jack. MT CulD0TISOH lilcIclOiO, JohiI the bid to four spades, a daring maneuver.
 MT Lenz won the first trick with the king of clubs, but instead of cashing the ace, also, switched to another suit. MT Culbertson ran the trumps, discaSded two remaining clubs in his hand on Mrs Culbert- sons fourth and fifth hearts, fines sed diamond with Mrs Culbertsons fourth spade, and scored six-odd and rubber.
 The breaks were with the bidder in that deal, but for the most part the hands of the evening were built for defense. The Culbertsons were set eleven times and the Lenz- Jacoby team IA No slam was bid and an unusually high percentage of hands were played out at bids of less than game. With the margin between the teams remaining SC slim, both sides were scratching ] hard for small scores to bolster {; the total.
