Young Girl Changed Her Disposition So
 She Escapes Prison

Palmer, Mass, July 1-UP)- Miss Cleo Camuse, 23 year old Ok lahoman who likes an occasional cigar, was freed to-day after spending a week in county jail for operating a second hand taxicab with stolen number plates and without insurance.
 As results of the intercession of Cleo'se sister and an attorney, Judge Harry J. Burdick revoked the 60-day jail sentence he im- posed 8 week ago. The girl had appealed and was remanded to- jail in lieu of $1,000 bail.
 Cleo, formerly of Norman, Okla, had been working in New York bank until recently, and the judge advised her to return to her job and to live with her sister and

Crime in Waterbury has more than doubled in the past two years according to the annual report of criminal cases disposed of which was submitted to the state con- troIler today. The report for the year ending June 30, 1882 shows there were 130 cases disposed of as compared to SO cases in 1923 and 113 is 1890.
 The necessity for the appoint ment of Assistant States Attor- ney William B. Fitzgerald for the local office can be seen by the re- port showing the big increase from 1929 to date. States Attorney Law renee L. Lewis assisted by MT Fitz- gerald and County Detective Ko- land filling round out the person mel of the office. The trio has been very busy during the past two years and last year inaugurated a new system by having four criminal sessions during the court year in- stead of three as in the past.
 In the report submitted today it is revealed that burglary and robbery with violence head the list of offenses coming before the court. There were 26 of the former and IA of the latter. Eight arson cases on the docket is great in- crease over previous years.
 There were 23 trials held, of which eight were by jury an 15 by the court. There were six convic- tions by juries and two acquittals. The court convicted 13 offenders and acquitted two.
 Sixty-eight of the total cases were disposed of by the accused pleading guilty. There was nolles entered in 39 cases.
 During the year there were f1ve bench warrants issued. two of which included those ogdered In the cases of Alfonso Russo and Mrs Bruno Blekis. The former was arrested and brought back from England. Mrs. Blekis was arrested on arson charges and after being sentenced, attempted suicide by drinking a poisonous solution m court.

crucial territory.
 In this connection, the question of the vice-presidency and the rnayoralty of New York played im- portant roles.
 Roosevelt people were under stood to have approached Speaker Garner with overtures that he be the running mate of Roosevelt. Up to the time of to-day's balloting, their oyertures apparently had not borne fruit and 1t was understood that persuasive gentlemen here and in Washington were working on" Garner to get him on the ticket and to have him induce the Garner delegates--90 strong from California. and Texas-to swing the Roosevelt chariot.
 At the same time, there were many anxious conferences over the New York situation. With New York casting at the peak only 31 of 94 votes for Roosevelt, there was big prize at stake.
 John F. Curry, Tammany lead CT, was trying to save Mayor James Walker of New York, who faces possible custer by Roosevelt should the latter concur in the views of the Seabury Investigating commit tee as to Walkers conduct in of- flee. Curry doesn't want Walker busted, as it might be blow to his Tammany control. There is no suggestion that Roosevelt's man. agers are being approached to ''trade' in this matetr, and Roose- welt has repeatedly said the ques- tion is outside the realm of poli- tics. In fact he has resented in- situations that his course might be influenced by presidential aspira- tions. But if his decision should be favorable to Walker-and could be made now, it is understood that the Tammany folks would probably turn to Roosevelt.
 Curry is perplexed as to what course he should follow.

 Convention Headquarters, Chi- cago, July 1.-(UP)-The battle for ballots to bring to a decision tonight the democratic presidential nomination went on furiously today after Governor Franklin D. Roose- welt had failed on three ballots this morning to achieve the needed two- thirds vote.
 Worn from long hours, some leaders on both sides sacrificed sleep to carry on important baf- gaining negotiations.
 James A. Farley. manager for Roosevelt, discarded the advice of his associates that he rest few hours before resumfng his hunt for needed delegates votes. and went about on secret errands.
 He and his friends still claimed they could "crack it."
 The stop Roosevelt people, on the other hand, predicted Roose- welt was washed up" since he made only slow progress in the first three ballots and did not reach even the 69O mark which many Roose- veltians had claimed in advance for the first ballot.
