Vigilante Fires
Shot, That Starts 1t
Henry Roach, Mistaken for Prowler and Beaten Up,
Decides to Forgive and Forget

the police the residents of that Sec
ton of the city have been alarmed
of late by the actions of some
strange man, who has been proving
around the neighborhood trying
doors and peeking into windows.
Some of the male residents have
been on the alert for him. Among
the vigilantes has been John Byce.
He was asked to keep his eye on
the residence of Mrs. Thomas S.
Cochrane who was one of several
annoyed.
About 1890 o'clock this morning
Henry Roach, a neighbor of Mrs.
Cochrane, but stranger to Byce
came strolling home Byce observed
him and challenged him from q dis
lance. Roach continued on his way
without answering him. Evidently
thinking to frighten him if he were
the prowler Byce fired a shot into
the air. Roach was startled all right
and darted to the rear of his home.
Byce went after him and the two
men had a fist fight. 1t was reported
that Roach was badly cut when
''socked" on the head with the butt
of revolver. When neighbors part
ed the struggling men, Roach was
Immediately recognized. 1t was a case
of mistaken identity, as Mrs. Coch-
rane explained this morning. Roach
was not willing to press any charges
and the police made no arrests.
Marlboro street had it's share of
excitement for the night. Five cops

careless about where they leave bot
ties containing poison:
Timothy Sullivan, 80, of 1919
Boulevard, trolley car starter for
the Connecticut company and sta
toned at the West Haven car barn,
died in the New Haven hospital
shortly after o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon, after he had accidently swal-
lowed a small amount of lysol think
ing it medicine. Walking into the
hospital without assistance, he gave
his name to a nurse, and collapsed.
He succumbed shortly afterward.
Investigation by the police re-
veals that Sullivan went to the sec
ond floor of his home yesterday after
noon. In about five minutes time
his wife, Margaret, heard him
scream and then he called her to
help him. The woman rushed to his
side and helped him to the doorway.
Mrs. Sullivan, according to re-
ports, ran into the street and stopped
an autoist. Sullivan was taken to
the entrance of the hospital. Getting
out of the car, he walked into the
establishment unassisted. He col
lapsed once inside. He was taken
to the emergency room and failed
to respond to treatment. He sue
cumbed 10 minutes later"

(World Copyright 1881 by the
United PreSS)

London, July 9.-UP)-soviet
Russia's five year plan Is working
out successfully and-exactly &C
cording to principles introduced
years ago, Nicholas Bukharin, one
of the outstanding figures of the
communist regime, told the United
Press last night in an exclusive in
terview.
"Josef V. Stains recent speech
ordering enforcement of greater re-
sponsibility of administrators and
greater emphasis on the per-
sonal initiative of the worker
did not in any way constitute an ad-
mission of failure" Bukharin. who
came to London for the interna-
tional congress on the history of
science and technology, said.
"On the contrary, the success of
the five year plan was just why
we decided to apply more strictly
than before a principle introduced
years ago."
Bukharin said the new phase in
Russia merely meant an intensifi-
cation of the struggle for socialism;
that anti-soviet factions were
frightened" by the five-year plan;
that the problem of economic crises
never could be solved within the
capitalistic system and that opposi-
ton to the Soviets in Russia had
been fundamentally shattered.
He discussed at length the British
press Interpretation of Stains
speech as acceptance of capitalism
principles and failure of the five
year plan, insisting that Stain was
merely applying old principles with
fresh vigor to push the plan ahead.
"These principles" he said, Are:
"F'irst, responsibility of directors
of industrial amalgamations.
Second, careful economic calcu-
lation, which, incidentally, was first
raised long ago. Stain only empha-
sized the necessity of carrying out
previous decisions.
Third, payment of workers by
the piece rate in accordance with
the labor performed, in order to
stimulate all processes. This Is not
for the benefit of capitalists. how
ever, but for the benefit of the
workers.
Fourth, obligatory principle of
raising the level of existence of the
| workers."
There has been no alteration ofthe
Soviet economic policy. All of these
| measures were planned and signify
an intensification of the struggle
for socialism. 1t is absurd to treat
them as a change in the direction
| of capitalism"

WHEN MAKING PRESERVES, PUT UP A
LITTLE AT A Time

According to a leading home
economics expert, it is better to
make preserves in small quanti-
ties frequently, than to put up "a
lot" at one time. Cooking in large
quantities prevents even cooking,
causes the fruit to lose it's shape
and prolongs the cooking period.
In preserving, remember that
refined cane sugar is the recog-
nized standard of housewives all
over the country. Now is the time
to watch the markets so you can
put up your <avorite fruits when
