MEXICAN FOILS
HOLD-UP PLANS
OF HICHWAYMAN

Put your hands UP and hand
over your CASH.
This contradictory order, REIN
forced by the point of a knife, was
directed at a Mexican laborer near
the Kendall store on the Holtville
to Brawley highway last night.
The Mexican, unsung because his
name was not discovered by depu-
ty sheriffs, put his hands up. But
he put them up rapidly, and brought
them down more rapidly. and in
them a heavy shovel was firmly
grasped.
The shovel connected with the
psychological spot on the would-be
robbers head, he gasped, and fold
ed up like a trick bridge table.
Stamina won, however, and the
robber leaped to his feet, staggered
to car where confederate wait
ed. and made his escape.
The Mexican was an employee
of the proprietor of the Kendall
store. He was irrigating when a
car drove up and stopped just
across the ditch, on the highway.
One of the men in the car got out,
came into the field, and pricked
the Mexicans stomach with the
knife.
Perhaps the Mexican was tick
lish-at any rate the conduct of
the robbers did not meet with his
approval.
On the report In the sheriff's
office is the following brief nota-
tion

aid"

the side of a coupe driven by Louis
Gales, damaging both cars consid-

Hernandez, entering an intersec-
tion, did not see the other car in
time to avoid a collision, with the
result that the automobiles were
badly wrecked. Both drivers gave
Calexico as their home.

 Anna was thrown into the air, while William managed to hang ori- to the fender, being dragged a dis tance of about 100 feet, the suits allege. The force of the impact was 50 violent, 1t knocked the shoes from Anna's feet and tore off parts of her clothing, 1t is alleged. The heel on Williams shoes were torn through by the dragging, the suit says.
 Anna suffered a fractured nose, 8 fractured leg in two places. in- ternal injuries, widening of the sutures of the skull, due to the separation of the skull bones, loss of hearing, dislocated ankle and bruises, wounds and contusions of the head, face and body. She was confined to the Waterbury hospi- tai for 10 weeks the complaint states.
 William sustained a fractured shoulder and fracture of three ribs in addition to other injuries which prevented him from following his usual occupation as 8 waiter in local restaurant. The suits are re- turnable to. the superior court the first Tuesday of December.

Golden Jubilee
 of the K. of C.
(Contlnusd from Page i.)

The late Rev Michael J. McGiv- nev. q native of Waterbury, ls credited with being the source of inspiration for the foundation of Inc order which now boasts of c membership of over S0O,0O0 and har councils established through out the United States, Canada, Mexcio, Cuba, the Philippines and with the prospects of the charter of the order being amended to permit the establishments of the society in Europe. Father McGiv- ney died on August IA, 1890 at the age of 39 years of age. His body is buried in the family plot in old St Joseph's cemetery. His brother the late Rt Rev Monsignor Patrick J. McGivney, national chaplain of the order for many years, died in Rome in 1928 and is also buried here. Rev John McGivney, another brother, is at present the supreme chaplain of the order. His present residence ig in Bridgeport.
 Sheridan Council was organised here in April. 1885, three years after the institution of San Salva- dor Council No in New Haven. Within Q few years after the or ganization of the first branch of the society here Waterbury boast ed of four other councils, Barce- Iona, Carrollton. Hendricken and Rev John A. Mulcahy council. By consolidation Sheridan absorbed three of the societies.
 |. In view of the fact that the founder of the order is buried here 1t Is more than likely that the su- preme council, which convenes in Washington, D. C., during the conn ing year may either sanction @ ra- tional pilgrimage of all knights to Waterbury or arrange a special program of exercises here in hon- or of Father McGivney and his brothers who have been honored by the society.
 Grand Knights Charles McDon- aid of Sheridan council and Maur- ice Wrenn of Barcelona council will shortly name committees to take charge of all arrangements for the golden jubilee celebration here. Regardless of the actions of the supreme officers Waterbury plans to commemorate the event and pay tribute to the memory pf Father McGivney.
 Supreme Knight Martin H. Car mody has named District Deputy Dr T. F. Baxter of Thomaston and Past District Deputies Edward J. Real, William T. Farrington and John J. Carroll of Waterbury and Emmett Baxter of Naugatuck as a temporary committee to undertake the preliminary arrangements for the 50th anniversary celebration of the establishment of the order of Knights of Columbus

Free to Ignore the dangerous possi- bilftieg of a presidential election kear. The present five congressman gre, with possibly one exception, expected to seek renominafion. It is well known that Representative Tsonergan, who served in the 63rd. 65th and 66th congresses, would like to receive the democratic nomination for U. S. senator. Re- cent civic elections, especially that in Hartford, might serve as a damper on his enthusiasm for the higher off1ce, as his candidate for the democratic mayoralty nomtn- htion was handily defeeted by Mayor.elect William J. Rankin with the backing of former Ma tional Committeeman Thomas !. Epe1lacy.
 10 offset the Lonergan candi- dacy for U. s. senator the name of Homer Cummings of Stamford, veteran democratic political figure, has been prominently mentioned recently. MT Cummings once fornl- ! cd an important member of the triumvirat0 of Cummings, Spellacy, and Fitzgerald, long titular heads of the state democratic party.
 With one congressional seat possibly open in democratic ranks there has been no rush to file 1n- fentions for the position of con- gresaman-at-large. Had the 1881 legislature redistricted the state this office would not have been considered. Lack. of ac- tion forces the state to follow a measure that was passed as long ago as 1921 when the state antici- pated redistricting following the 1920 federal census.
 In 1880 two veteran republican kongressmen, Schuyler Merritt of stamford and D. Hart Fenn of .Wethersdeid, were busted from their seats. The former was rec nominated but lost to Judge Will liam |, Tierney of Greenwich, while Mir Fem failed of renomiYi- htion when Connecticut valley to- bacco growers banded against him and succeeded in nominating Col onel Clarence w. Seymour of West Hartford. He was defeated by Au- gustine Lonergan, democratic can
 Either MT Merritt or MT Tenn might wish to return to congress via the ongressman-at-large route. However, the former is ranked among the leading gubernatorial candidates on the republican tick ct, while MT Fenn has definitely retired. He probably could be per- suaAed to return to public life, tnasmuch as he has no chance of securing the first district nomina- tion. Seymour and Paonessa loom as the opposing congressional can- didates there with Lonergan out of the race.

Repub- lican leaders lean strongly towards Hartford's retiring mayor, Walter E. Patterson as their strongest hopeful
 or hand it would seem as If more strength reposed in the dem- ocratic party than in the republi- co for the position. It shouldn't go a-begging for lack of material. It might for lack of interest in the position. 1t is one more reason why the legislature should have re- districted. Congressmen at large while possessing the same. powers as any congressman elected from c district, are not popular offices.
 Connecticut has had experiences with the position. In fact 1t was not eliminated in this state until the formation of the fifth district. Re- presentative John Q. Tilson was the states last congressman-at 1. large. From 1909 to 1918 he served in this capacity, succeeding the late Governor George l.. Lilley of this city. The latter was quite out spoken in his criticism of the once to which he was elected three times and worked to eliminate it.

The lower end of. the valley, Derby and Ansonia might contest this, though
 Hartford has Augustine Loner- gan; New London, Richard F, Freeman, New Haven, John O Tilson, and Greenwich, William L. Tierney. Bridgeport might claim the right to have a congressman, but so could stamford, Danbury New Britain, Norwich or several other places. Geographical distri- button is often ignored in the in- terest of party strength, never for party harmony.
