CRACK '45' TEAMS
 MEET TOMORROW
Championship to Be Set- tied at Contest in
 Hibernian Hall
A HOT BATTLE

Much has been written the past few weeks about champion "45" players, but nobody knew where to place teh honor. The question will be decided at Hibernian hall tomor- row afternoon when teams from all over the city will gather ht 2:30 o'clock under the auspices of the Clan-na Gael and l. R. A. clubs and have it out, once for all. The intention was to hold the contest at the club rooms on Baldwin street, but so many teams decided to be represented 1t was found necessary to secure larger quarters. hence the reason for taking the larger hall.
 Teams from upper Washington Hill. the Brooklyn district and oth- CT places will be on hand with their crack players so that tho game will be one of unusual interest. Tom Byrncs, Michael Mccormack and captains of various other teams have promised to compete. but re- gnrdiess of all the promoters ol the game claims that they will prove more than a match for the best of them and that when the result is announced the public will no longer be in doubt as to the game of the champion "4b" card players in Waterbury.

SALE OF LIQUOR
 IN DRUG STORES
Treasury Dept Agents Made Visit to Various
 Places About Town
SUITS MAY FOLLOW

Several of Waterbury's best known drug stores have been vis- ited the past two days by repre- sentatives of the U. s. treasury de- partment or that particular divi- sion which has charge of govern mental permits for the sale of H. quors. Tho usual formality of checking up on the amount of gov crnment spirits sold and the num- bcr of properly filed prescriptions was followed out. No report has yet been made of the check-up.
 On the last appearance of the treasury men four or five druggists were found In Il rather embarrass- ing position and 1t was rumorcd that they would have fl battle to gave their government permit. No public announcement is ever made concerning the disposition of cases involving the government and drug stores or the occasional doc tor who is found to have failed to measure up to all requirements.
 Druggists who have uneasy minds about the number of pre- ucriptions filed or the guilty feeling of any irregularity are as pleased to see the U. $. treasury car pull up in front of their places of bus mess as the owner of a speak easy or club when the federal enforce ment agents start getting sociab1c.

QNS0-A sack and curious

police with clues they believed
linked the killing Of Charles

Of slayings which included Vim

Krebs' body, . bag over his
head, was found in his car on q

was tied with rope knotted in the
odd manner used In the other
murders.
Unlike the other cases, how.
ever, KrebS was not stabbed by
ice picks.
Police believed he was stran-
gled in Manhattan and his body
abandoned here by his murderers.

WALKERAT KIN s
FUNERAL RITES

NEW YORK, Sept. 1 Q.N.SO.-
Seemingly on the verge Of a
collapse, Mayor James j. Walker,
who has been under a terrific
strain for weeks, attended the
funeral today Of his brother,
George F. walker, an insurance
man, who died last Monday at
Saranac Lake.
The mayors face was deathly
pale as he followed the mahogany
casket, bearing the body into the
spacious st. Patrick's Cathedral
where a requiem mass was cele-
brated. Five thousand persons
crowded the cathedral to its
capacity.
However, the mayor definitely
planned to go to Albany tomor'
row for the resumption before
Gov. Franklin D. RooSeVelt's re-
moVal hearings.
There was no intimation from
Walker himself whether he con-
sidered, as reported, withdrawing
from any further defense against
the charges of unfitness to hold
office on the ground he had not
received a fair trial.
Supreme Court Justice Ellis j.

which he denied q petition to
have the. governor declared with

HUGE TURNOVER
IN NHOU5E SEEN

The greatest turnover in the
House of Representatives in all
its history was predicted today by
political Seers Of both major
parties, after viewing the havoc
primaries have wrought so far,
and looking forward to the bitter
wet-dry fight being made in hun
dreds of districts.
The turnover has little connec-
tion with the Presidential race.
For one thing. for the first time
in two decades Congress has been
reapportiOned on the basis of the
decennial census of 1880, and 27
old Congressional districts have
disappeared.
With several important States
still to act-including New York,
Wisconsin, Georgia and others
the disappearance of districts, re-
fusals to run, and primary results
have already eliminated 50 old
members.
Six more must 60 later, as

Island, Vermont, Virginia and
wisconsin each lose q member un.

To Offset Antagonism
Aroused in France

BERLIN, Sept. 1 (I.N.S.).
In the hope of offsetting the
antagonism aroused in France,
the German government today
undertook a worldwide de-
marche, serving notice upon
al signatories to the Versailles
Treaty that unless her demands
for arms equality are granted
she will withdraw from the
League Of Nations disarma-

BY delivering the "ULtimatum"
to all of the former allied powers,
Germany hoped TO obtain favora-
BILE reaction in many quarters,
thus dulling the edge of the harsh
criticism emanating from Paris.
Italy, at least, among the
larger powers and many smaller
nations are expected to lend q
svanpathetic ear. to Germary's

countries scale down their arn1a-
u1aa&s to the limits imposed by

Hanford MacNider has resigned
as minister to Canada to take
over direction Of the fight to win
the world War Veterans vote for
President Hoover, it developed to-
day.
A few hours after MacNider's
resignation was announced at the
White House. former Gen. Henry
j. Allen director Of Republican
publicity, revealed that MacNider,
formerly national commander of
the American Legion, would pro-
ceed from Ottawa to Chicago and
take over the same position in
Republican headquarters he held
in 1928.
The G. o. P. management is
anticipating an uphill fight to
align the former service men be-
hind the President. From all
reports. it appears certain that
the American Legion convention
In Portland this month is going
to go on record in favor Of i'm.
mediate payment of the veterans
bonus, and a vigorous fight on
the floor is expected over a reso-
luton condemning the Admins
trat1on'S eviction with u. 8.
troops of the bonuSSeeking army
from washington.
MacNider is regarded as one
OF the most popular commanders
the legion ever had. and as such
the Republican strategists are
banking upon him to do yeoman
service in converting the former
soldiers to the Hoover cause.
