Several months ago Ernest ran
away from his mother and was
found in Banning, where he had
gone in an attempt to reach his
father, according to police.
Head borrowed the gun used in
the killing from neighbor, Tom
Murphy, Brawley transfer man, ex-
planning that he wished to use it
on a hunting trip. Sharp now has
the gun.
The retired banker made a full

Inquest will take place this af-

may be issued after the inquest.
Deputy District Attorney D. H.
Wolford and Sharp are investigating
the case.
An element of mystery is added
to the case by the report that two
shots were fired at the scene prior
TO the fatal shot. Just what the
two shots had to do with the diff
ficulty or who fired them has not
been determined as yet.
Puryear, it is reported, was not

would be increased thousandfold. Similar action is being taken in practically every town in the Naugatuck valley. not to men, ton a number of the shore cities, such as New Haven and Bridgeport. Hartford has not yet decided to follow this example, but the disease is not as prevalent there as it is in the southern parts of the state.
 In most of the cities and towns where school has been postponed the authorities have set the date of opening for the middle of the month, generally the l4th or the 2lst. one to two weeks latet than the normal opening In our case the school authorities did not set date, but postponed school in- definitely. Again we think the wisest course has been taken. There is nothing to guar antee that school can safely start within one or two weeks. Therefore, there will be no necessity for the local school board to change the opening date several times, thus adding confusion to the state of uneasiness that ex- ists in the homes of many Waterburians where there are children of school age.
 When it becomes definitely certain that the epidemic of infantile paralysis is on the wane and the health authorities have con JUL llleIi II "HF Ue tihlS tO tlhih VI PSh- hitting school children to fraternize freely with each other. Until then we should con- eern ourselves more with aiding the health authorities in preventing the spread of the disease. Such precautions as the state board of health advises might we'll be adopted by all communities in which there arc infantile paralysis cases. Among them are strict quarantine for those afflicted and those com ing in contact in any way with the sick per- son. We know for a fact that this is not relgiously followed right here in Waterbury.
 People living in houses where there is quarantined case should be extremely eau tious. Certainly nobody wants to be guilty of carrying the disease into household of young children. This is entirely possible without the carrier being taken sick. Be considerate of others. Medical advice of course should be promptly secured if there is any indication of the disease. Prompt at- tention may mean prompt recovery. Co., operation with the public authorities is go- ing to mean lot in quickly ridding this city and the entire state of the disease. Why not rally to their support'

Hartford is interested in school athletic field for the use of its high school athletes. according to reports drifting Naugatuck val leyward In the past the Hartford schools have been privileged to use the athletic fields of Trinity College when they weren't being used by the college students. Naturally this doesn't allow the schedule that field solely for high school sports would. The same situation prevails here in Waterbury. There is no enclosed field where the high school may benefit by paid attendance at sports. We still think that this is the time to start such work. It not only would provide work for many, but would be much cheaper now than ten years hence,

Is England Tottering?

The biggest problem in the world right now. as far as America is concerned is not Russian Communism. but British recovery. The threatened bankruptcy of Great Britain, with its governmental crisis, has raised the question more pointedly than ever, whether the British Empire is going down. In recent years, especially since the World War. it has often looked as if that empire were beginning 10 break. Colony after colony shook off its old status and gained, by peaceful pro- eedure. virtual independence. Dominions like Canada South Africa and Ireland make their own laws and even levy tariffs against the mother country. India has engaged Tn long and bitter fight for independence. or at least autonomy under the British flag and the outcome is uncertain.
 It has seemed to many that the loosening of legal ties made no difference or even improved the situation tying the empire to- gether more strongly with voluntary bonds of sentiment. But sentiment seldom has much effect on the pocket nerve. And when Great Britain, after years of almost hopeless struggle to bear the burden of stag gering war debts. business stagnation and unemployment confesseS that she cannot pay expenses serious questions are raised which concern many nations beside herself. Finan- eial collapse might mean an orgy of infla- ton like that which Germany and Russia went through after the war. Red ink in the ledger might lead to red revolution. he coalition government emerging from the crisis at London has a task comparable with Britains recent war job. It is task in which the dominions and colonies cannot or will not help as they helped during the war.
 It has been said that the last century was Britain's greatest. Many have seen decline already begun. If the Empire is really be- ginning to suffer the fate of ancient Rome. perhaps the United States is rising to take her place. But intelligent Americans will find little joy in such reflection. It happens that our greatest world rival is also our best friend among the powers. It happens that the British have a genius for political ad- ministration and the handling of other races which Americans have not yet devel- oped. England SO far has been the torch bearer of Anglo-Saxon civilization holding political and moral sway over one-fourth of the world If John Bulls power should fail Uncle Sam would be very busy and wor- ried old gentleman. Britain has long been and is yet. the chief force for stability in shaky world. America is not ready to take her place - not yet

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1881
Action Demanded

We presume that the finding of the Hart ford county grand jury on the fatal air crash near Newington in July will cause the state to reverberate with the cry of Resignation Jumping at conclusions we might be quick to echo that. The finding stated that Deputy Commissioner Jack Lenox was to blame for the fatality and that his superior, Commissioner Morris deliberately withheld certain information about the accident as we'll as being lax in conducting the investi- cation of his department The investiga- tor for the Department of Commerce IS also subjected to criticism for his report on the deaths of the two army armen.
 The Hartford county grand jury has also States Attorney Aleorn. It has rarely failed to get its man. We don't presume that it would allow this opportunity to pass without laying down drastic penalty. While it doesn't recommend criminal action against Deputy Commissioner Lenox nor the aeronauties commission it leaves 1t to be understood that this can be taken if neees- sary and if the authorities are asked to do so. A copy of the finding awaits Governor Cross at Hartford where he is expected to arrive from New Hampshire Thursday.
 Army investigators were prompt to place the blame for the crash upon an unknown civilian plane which headed straight for the squadron, causing it to alter its course dur ing which two of the planes crashed. Deputy Commissioner Lenox, while admitting that he was near the army planes, denied vehe- mently that his maneuverng was in any way responsible for the fatality, Both he and Commissioner Morris were at the scene of ths crash shortly after it occurred, the former having flown back to Brainard Field and taken an automobile to the sanatorlum where the planes had crashed to the ground.
 Personally the resignations of Mir Morris and Mir Lenox might save the governor con- siderable embarrassment especially so if he feels compelled by the grand jury report to demand them, However the governor may view the matter in an entirely different light. He may assume the attitude that there has been so much undercovcr criticism of hls aeronautics commission since its appointment that it won't hurt to proceed slowly in the present unfortunate instance. Replacing the republican commission with democratic in- eumbents failed to agree with many stom- achs Politics might still be playing as much part as it did before There has been a lot of stir and fuss about the com mission, its youthful head and its older deputy. for some months now. Some dis counting will have to be indulged in by the governor as we'll as residents of the state. We are willing to wait few days before turning thumbs down on Mir Morris and MT Lenox.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-02
Convincing Proof

That there is going to be good show of spirit in the republican party this fall IS quite evident from the results of yesterdays primary. The expected defeat of the United Front faction was so one-sided that 1t be- comes apparent that it was nothing more nor less than an attempt to dictate certain policies or the nomination of certain otfi- cials to the duly-eleeted heads of the town committee Chairman Conway and his aides experienced little difficulty in turning aside this threat. Their margin of victory Wa even greater than that of Mayor Hayes over Mir Kennedy last week.
 Offhand we should say that the election of next month will be spirited. Republicans will be united behind the candidacy of George Tracy. Of that there can be no doubt. And it will pay no man or faction to proceed contrarywise even though Chair man Conway does maintain that he will not dictate any nominations, but will accept the wishes of the delegates. Of course, they are pessimistic of the republican chances of oust- ing the present administration from office. We don't think that any broadsides, finan- cial, or otherwise, can convince the general public that Mayor Hayes hasn't done all in his power to put Waterbury on sound basis.
 However. it will be for the benefit of the entire city if there are two united parties in the field A minority that can give good account of itself is bound to command more respect than one which will accept its de- feat more or less as matter of fact Of course what the republican party IS looking for even more than respect IS votes It desires to convince the electorate that II IS better qualified to run the city than the reigning forces. It doesn't seem as if the public is quite ready for that change just now. Even though the 8. o. D. is probably in better shape to enter an election than in some few years it will find the task of un- seating Mayor Hayes one that can't be ae- complished in a month or two.

kATYDIDS AND EARLY
 AUTUMN
Hartford Times)

This cold spell looks might bad, It feels pretty good especially at night, but 1t certainly makes it seem as though there might be an early fall. Take it early in the morning-yesterday you could see your breath plainly. If you happen ed to be waiting for bus at 7:30 q. m. That is not characteristic of August.
 Of course, the weather man says 1t is not a sign that summer is over. He states definitely that 1t is only an Arctic blast that will pass away. It was not the weather man who guessed that 1t was the Nau- titus cruising in Arctic waters and pushing the ice up where the wind could get at 1t.
 But is the weather man always right? He has instruments and maps and charts and things and his prognostications are based on science. But does he always get the right answer? We won't attempt to answer that, because we have the greatest respect for the United States weather bureau, and besides we print the forecast every day.
 A farmer in Slmsbury heard a katydid on August 1. That means there will be frost in the middle of September. Katydids always mean frost in six weeks. They meant 1t before there were any weather bu- reas. Furthermore, as If one katy did was snot enough. there were plenty of them to be heard by the second week in August.
 They are dreary little chaps, katydids. At least they have al- ways seemed so to us. particularly when their strident voices drift out of the shadows of black woodlands on those soft summer nights, when the moonlights turns the cloth on the tobacco fields into frosted sil- yer. They prophecy the death of one of the pleasantest times in all the New England year-the time when long, langurous evenings hold rest and contentment. the time when the ripe crops mean fresh vegetables and when the late summer flowers fill the air with sleepy perfume. They don't men tion the crisp days of fall that will relieve the buggy heat of the dog days; they forget to tell us that. before the trees are bare. they will be glorious in red and gold. They leave ou the part about football games and the pleasaont smell of burning leaves in the Indian sum- mer. No-S,ey sust shriek that the summer evenings are dwindling. that in a couple of moons we shall no longer be able to sit out on the porch and watch the stars come out.
 After all can they be so accurate. when they do not tell the whole truth? And besides the scientists say tat they make tat noise by rubbing their legs together. That may be true in point of fact. but anyone who has listened to them knows that it does not stand to reason. Good superstitions ought to stand to reason.

ested in such things as where cells rear their young. etc. are indulging in nine-day feast over a great discovery. They believe they have solved the enigma of the halibut. The haibut has never been an enigma to us It has always been aemost tasty bit of sea foood when nicely broiled. A good hali- but steak is worth ten-mie hike any day in addition to Friday. But to get back to our scientific discovery. Hitherto nobody knew where the halbut spawned The lar vac of the fish have been discovered up around the Gulf of Alaska which doesn't make the halbut an Eskimo by any means. It just means that good things have small beginnings after all, We'll eye our next hunk of halibut with even more respect than usual.
