 In Wilson, Conn, and several other places the scheme has been worked successfully. Captain Will liam P. Keegan of the local de- tective bureau has checked up on local complaints concerning ad- vertisement solicitors, but has found no evidence to suspect that the names of either the motor vehicle department or the state police are being used here for illegal pro- fits.
 According to the explanation of Captain Stiles the trick is worked by having someone call the intend- cd victim on the telephone and in- formed him in nice, polite way that Inspector Doe of the motor vehicle department is calling" After an exchange of greetings the inspector proceeds to inform his listener that he Is sending friend around to talk to him about matter that it of great personal interest, your cooperation will be appreciated by the boys and lit tie remembrance card may prove of inestimable value in event of any trouble in the future, etc. The little matter is cash dona-

 Hold Up Case
FOUGHT THREE MEN

Nearly two weeks ago three Wa terbury youths assaulted Spencer Judd of Southbury as they att tempted to compel him to give them a lift in his car from Lake Quassapau to this, city.
 T don't remember much about the three of them although one of them gave me a good whack in the nose as you can see by that mark there, but will sure know the one hit" exclaimed Judd yes- terday afternoon as he called at police headquarters and asked for assistance in gaining admission to the Waterbury hospital for the purpose of identifying a patient.
 Whats your idea of going up to the hospital" he was asked.
 q heard in roundabout way that there is fel1er up there with an injury to his head. I want to get one look at him and to ask him some questions. think that he is the one hit." explained Judd. Accompanied by Sel geant Henry Johnson, Judd visited the hospital and at his own request was per- mitted to ask doctors, orderiies and nurses few questions. Later he took a look at the patient with the bandaged head. That's not him." admitted Judd. Hospital records proved that Judd was right. The injured man had been in the hospital more than a week before the night the young man was beaten up.
 "Why do you think you will know this fellow, if you ever see him again?" asked the curious po- lice sergeant.
 ''I'1l know him all right. hit him on the head with hammer. He's got my trademark and I got his," answereds Judd pointing to his battered nose.

Bonus Battle
 Features Meeting
designations in Order at New Haven County
 Session

designations of several officers were rendered last evening at the New Haven county district meet ing of the Connecticut American Legion as the result of the views taken on the bonus question at the national convention in Portland, Oregon. Several letters denounc- ing the action were read. most of them insinuating that the more indiscreet members of the Legion were in control and that the re- suit of the vote did not represent a fair point of view of all Legion members.
 More than 500 county delegates attended the meeting including about 200 members of the auxi- liary. Reports of the delegates to the national convention were read. A motion to exempt the veterans from the two cent tax on checks was denied. ,,..
 Among the local people who at tended were: Captain Newton w.. Alexander, Frederick Gidell, Har- old Kenney, Harry Slason, Joseph Brenneis, Barney Shea, Miss Vic- toria Liebreich and Miss Lucy Shanahan.

He is not to run this year for represen- taeiye, once more. He explained today that he is retiring in order to make way for another New Ha- ven democrat that the New Haven democratic organization considers worthy of the honor.
