The destruction of the liquor has not only provided the basis of a law suit against the owners of the "Oid Kentucky" agency but has prompted fl searching investigation of A suspected "hi- -jacking" of con- siderable valuable liquid Inerchan- disc from Il government warehouse which supplies drug stores through out New England with bonded rye intended for medicinal purposes only.
 The liquor, ten cases of "A pints each, was shipped 10 Inc Ridgewood Pharmacy on Willow street last April. Joseph Delaney the proprietor. engaged the herV- ices of a prominent local chemist to conduct an analysis of the beV- craze. His report was not only 10 tho effect that the liquor failed to measure up to requirements, but was apparently not government stuff. Mr Delapey's prccaution brought about a series of develop rnents. He notified the New York firm which sold the bonded rye to him and also the Industrial Alco- hol Bureau, which comes under the supervision of the II. S. Treasury department. Samples were taken from this city on May 5th and on two subsequent occasions and sent to New York and Boston. Govern- ment chemists substantihted Tn: report of the local chemist and the

liquor was found not to be of gov ernmcnt issue.
 A chcckup with the warehouse from which the ten eases were ih- sued disclosed inc fact that some one had tempered with the orig inal supply and had caused sub- stitution. On orders from the U. S. Treasury department, MT De- Ianey sealed up his supply until yesterday when epresentatlVcs ar rived and supervised the destruc" ton of the liquor. Ten cases, 24o pints in all were permitted to trickIe into n convenient sewer ns the gentleman from lie treasury department watched. Willow street has never witnessed such "a tras . cdy" in many years, but whats Z9o pints worth $500 when Uncle sam iinda that some of his officials were apparently lax in their work and allowed someone to pull Fast one on them. The substitution wasn't too fast" for MT Delaney.
 The next chapter in the case will be written in the courts. The firm of Warren and Mcintyre of Ne" York city have started action against the agency which sold the liquor 10 MT Delaney. It must either refund the money received in the deal or furnish ten cases of real bonded stuff that will meet all Inc rigid requirements of Uncle Eam.

 Acording to authentic informa- ton obtained by the Democrat today, however, ex-City Clerk O'Donnell will not consider the nomination of senator. either. It is understood, though, that party leaders are endeavoring to bring pressure on him to run in the in- terests of the entire party ticket. It is felt that if he runs he will aid Congressman F. w. Goss greatly in garnering many extra votes fin the 18th district.
 Should ex-City Clerk O'Donncll fatly refuse to run 1t means that either cx-Alderman Blcwitt or MT Walker will be picked. The latter. it is understood, is in Il very recep- tive mood while ex-Alderman BleWitt might also be considered in the same class.
 The 18th senatorial district con vention will be held on October 11th. Between now and then. thcre- fore, it will be necessary for the E. 0. D. leaders to round out their slate and decide on one candidate.
 In the 18th the candidate has been decided upon. He will be Judge T. V. Meyer of the city court The Italians want to have the nom ination given to Attorney George J. Crocicchia but 1t is understood that they will not oppose Judge

Sweeping Gains
 During the Week
(continued from Page 1.)


 Late in the week, the trend of the good news slung in favor of the railroads. Heads of eastern roads agreed on the four system of consultations set forth by the in- terstate commerce commission. Car loadings made a better than sea- sonal showing. The receivership suit brought against St Louis-san two small bond holders was dis missed.
 Late in the week. the Nickel Plate situation seemed improved. That road has to meet on october l maturity of 6 per cent notes or $20, 900, ,000. It admits 1t can pay only 20 per cent of that amount out of funds borrowed from the Reconstruction Finance Corpara- ton. The balance Is to be made ups with 3 year percent notes. Less than week remains to ob- tain necessary deposit of bonds to make the plan effective.
 A wide open break in Nickel Plate 6s for time upset the mar ket for railroad bonds and stocks. The issue rallied subsequently along with . general rise in rail- road issues.
 Tobacco company shares profit ed by increased consumption of cigarettes. Aviation issues were whirled up by pools. Automobile stocks also were largely under pool domination. Oils held well in the face Of price cut in gaso- line by Standard of New Jersey Coppefs were strong on expecta- ton of q further advance in the price of the metal. :.

 Usual and Unusual Needs
 Even before the economic de- precision the Waterbury hospital had q maintenance problem. To- day it has Il much more serious one. because more patients are re- curing the inexpensive service of the wards and semi-privatc rooms, while fewer are able to afford the private rooms.
 The amount which patients pay for service rendered Is always far below the maintenance cost. Last year 1t was about $130.000 less. In other words, the hospital gave thisi amount of free and less- than cost service. ,.
 The endowment and the state appropriation made up nearly $i0o,000 of the shortage. The bal ance of $31.000 was cared for largely by contributions
 Everything depends on the con- tinuance and the increase of this subscription support.
