DIAL TELEPHONE
 DIRECTORY OUT
The New System Will Go Into Effect Saturday
 at Midnight
BOOKS FOR 19,OOO

The summer issue of the tele- phone directory. having a blue cover with a red band, and con- taining the new dial numbers to be used after next Saturday at mid night, made it's appearance this morning when the telephone com pany started a delivery of 13,000 copies. The company expects to complete distribution of the direc- tories by Friday night.
 The company Is using a fleet of six small trucks, each in charge of one of its commercial men who acts as supervisor, and the assist ance of twenty local boys of high school age to complete the task. For some of the boys this Is their fourth or fifth season as delivery men, and many of them are fol- lowing routes they took in past deliveries.
 Commenting on the work of de- livering Waterbury's directories, Harold G. Davis, local manager of the company, said: Because of the fact that all telephone num- bers have been changed, and that after the change to dial service next Saturday at midnight the old directory will be utterly useless, we are using extreme care to see that every subscriber receives the new book.
 We have instructed the boys to ring the doorbells and hand the directory to the subscriber or to someone on the premises. Even If no one answers the bell they are to make sure that new directory is left at the door. These pre- cautions ought to make it fairly certain that no one will be over looked.
 However. if by Friday night there are subscribers who have not received their copy, we would like 10 have them let us know by call ing the business office. Although we expect to complete the delivery by Friday night, we shall keep four cars and four men on hand all day Saturday until midnight, to take care of those who may have been skipped and who call in for a new book. Crews and cars will also be maintained Sunday and Monday for the same purpose"
 Mr Davis cautioned subscribers against using the new dial num- bers until dial service becomes op- erative next Saturday at midnight. For the present the old directory should be used. After dial opera ton becomes effective, subscribers should destroy the old book and consult the new directory for all calls" he said. Calling from memory. from pocket memoran- duns. or from uncorrected tele- phone indexes will result in fall ure to reach the desired party. and will cause only annoyance 10 the one who is wrongly called"

insulting. Some ill-feeling existed
 between the two families over
 money matters for the past seven years. When he was passing the
 Tiso residence he became bolster
 ous and started to swear Mrs. Tiso
 to pacify him and to have him stop telling the neighborhood what he thought about the family went out into the street to reason with him.
 She witnessed her son being knock
 ed down and when she went to his , assistance was bitten on the hand.
 Her husband later entered the fray. It was the contention of the state that Iianniconne used a knife, but
 the states principal witness insist
 ed that he had no weapon with
 him.
 Judge T. v. Meyer found both parties guilty and committed them
 to jail. The cases will be tried again
 in the court of common pleas in the fall.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-07-14

Caetano Tiso, Al, of 21 Griggs street, father of nine children, was sentenced to jail to-day for period of four months when found guilty in police court of the charge of as- sault and breach of the peace. An appeal to the court of common pleas prevented the execution of the sentence this morning.
 Vincent Ianniconne, 37, of 76 Branch street, states principal wit ness in the case and also defendant on the charge of breach of the peace, was given a sentence of 30 days. He spent five days in St. Mary's hospital with three knife wounds about the body and chest. According to some witnesses to-day he was the aggressor in the fight, which involved two families.
 The argument. which established the fact that ill-feeling existed be- tween the Tiso and Ianniconne families was over the insignificant sum of eight cents, clerical error made by Anthony Tiso, 21, son of Gaetano. In the battle royal Mrs. Tiso had a finger on her left hand badly bitten by Ianniconne, while the latter's wife suffered more than a headache from the hair pull ing match in which she found her self engaged rather unexpectedly. Young Tiso was knocked out of the picture. according to his own story.
 T stabbed him all right. He was going to get me. He had knocked my boy down and I saw my wife with her hands covered with blood an I went into him to protect my family" was Tiso's explanation of the encounter, which occurred on Griggs street on the evening of June z7th Young Tiso and Ianniconne were arrested that night, but the elder Tiso did not surrender to the police until near ly week after the fight.
 This morning about ten wit nesses were called to the stand. Ianniconne claimed that he had words with the Tiso youth over the difference of eight cents. The dis pute he admitted was limited to an exchange of words in a store on North Main street where Tiso is employed. Witnesses testified that Ianniconne after telling Tiso that if he weren't such a kid, he would sock him one in the face went home. An hour later while walking down Griggs street with his wife, Ianniconne claims that he was at tackled by the Tisos and wounded.
 The Tisos and other witnesses inssited that Ianniconne had been drinking and usually when he had a few in him became aggressive and

Dreaded Penal Station
Made Into Bird Haven

The Dry Tortugas are series of
islets, ten in number, at the extreme
end Of Florida keys, belonging to Mon
roe county. They are low, barren and
desolate, except where partly covered
with mangrove bushes. Fort Jeffer-
son on Garden key was used as
penal station during the Civil war,
and it was here where Doctor Mudd,
O'Laughlin, Spangler and Arnold were
sent to serve out their terms of i'm
prisonment after being found guilty
by military commission of partici-
patton in the assassination of Presi-
rent Lincoln. All Of them were par
doned by President Johnson, except
O'Laughlin, who died there.
In 1904 marine biological labora-
tory was established on Loggerhead
key, one of the islands, at which much
important scientific work has been
done. In 1908 the United States gov
eminent set aside the entire group as

Tulips Romans Planted
Thrive on English Soil

In many parts of England are the
remains Of Roman camps built by sol
diers Of nearly two thousand years
ago. All have fallen into ruins and
most are now buried under several
feet of soil. But it is possible that
flowers which the Roman soldiers
planted still live and bloom year after
year. Near the sites of many Of the
camps in the south Of England tiny
red tulips make their appearance each
spring. They are quite different from
any other tulips seen in that country,
and are found nowhere but in the
neighborhood of Roman camps. Still
more curious, the bulbs from which the
flowers spring are found at depths of
five feet and more underground. The
most simple explanation of this pecu-
liarity is that they were planted near
the surface In the ordinary way by
the Romans, and with the passage of
years they have become more and
more deeply buried, like the ruins of
the camps themselves.

Famou. Tapestry

The Gobelin tapestries originated in
the work of former dyer, named
Gobelin, who in the Fifteenth century
came from Reims to Paris, the family
having discovered a marvellous scarlet
dye which attracted great attention. In
the Sixteenth century to the manufac-
ture of dyes was added the manufac-
ture of tapestry, which founded the
fortune of the family. Some of the
family were granted titles of nobility
and some became leading statesmen OF
France. In the reign of Louis XIV,
the government took over the Gobelin
tapestry manufactures and they re-
main a state activity.

Clever French Cypsies
Prey on the Ignorant

Superstition still flourishes In France
as thriving commercial proposition,
despite the advance Of general educa-
ton. Apparently any gypsy with
fluent tongue can make an easy though
dishonest living. The latest example
is reported from a village near Amiens,
writes the Paris correspondent Of the
London Daily Telegraph, where a
tradeswoman, Nine. Dobersecq, has
been swlndled of $1,000 by two for
tune tellers.
The first gypsy appeared under the
guise of hawker of lace. AS she dis
played her wares she mentioned that
there had been many fires In the dis
trict, and that it was under the curse
Of a particularly malicious demon.
Having thus aroused the tradeswom-
ans interest, she offered to tell her
If she herself was threatened.
Taking three hairs from Nine. Do
bersecQ's head and wrapping them in
paper, she burnt them. Nine. Dober-
secq swears that before the ashes
dropped to the ground she saw on the
scorched paper a sign of cloven hoof.
That made up her mind for her. She
paid the gypsy $500, which the latter
said she would return after the notes
had been blessed with magic rites.
Later another gypsy called upon
Nine. Dobersecq, and said that they
we're having trouble with the evil spir-
it. A much larger sum would have
to be blessed before the spell could
be broken. AS she was given to un-
derstand that her own daughter was
threatened by the powers of darkness,
the tradeswoman handed over $500
more.
