Jones calling Mrs Smith and mak- ing a date to be down town early and be among the early birds gath ering the early worms in the form of bargain purchasing.
 This is one way to lick Depres- sion and we all wish to do that. We should all like to take a crack at the guy who has had strangle hold on our pocketbooks for a long time. We'll, with days like Thurs day. when the merchants are really offering worthwhile purchases at prices so low that one wonders how 1t, can be done, we all can take part in bid for the return of our long lost friend, Miss Prosperity.

Public utilities in the form of bus lines and trolleys, the aters, parking space proprietors, restaurants, trucking companies telephone companies. milk compan- ies are all lending helping hand to make this Waterbury Day a success.

Number of the
 Delegates
(Continued from Page 1)

On the 2Sth the local primaries to elect delegates to the city con- vention will be held. It is Chair man Crary's plan, as in past years to have the delegates thus elected meet few days later to elect the delegates to the state convention. Knowing that Waterbury is Smith stronghold, Roosevelt lead CTS in the state claim that the dele gates to the state convention should be elected on the 18th.
 "In past years when the central committee set the date for eau cuses' we always considered that to mean primaries, also, and not conventions. We have always been upheld in the past" said Chairman Crary this morning. Therefore, we will proceed with our original program this year in conformity with past practices unless the state officials can show us any good req son for changing. The state rules require the filing of the names of the state delegates 10 days before the opening of the state conven- ton. We will do this.'
 Chairman Crary at last nights meeting of the town committee re- ceived the unanimous support of the entire membership present on the Smith stand here. "Waterbury Is unquestionably all for Smith," said Chairman Crary to the com mittee. The body entirely agreed with him.

based on reciprocal exchange of goods.
 'I am pleading" said Roosevelt flor a policy broad enough to in- clude every part of our economic structure. A policy that seeks to help all simultaneously, that shows an understanding of the fact there are millions of our people who cannot be. helped by merely help ing employers because they are not employes-the farmers, the small business man, the profes- sional people. In much of our pres ent plans there Is too much dispo- sition to mistake the part for the whole, the head for the body.
 II favor economic planning"
 The only reference to Governor Smith by name was made in the discussion of the St Lawrence project when Roosevelt said My distinguished predecessor" had prevented private interests from grabbing the states power rights.
 A major portion of the gover- nor's address was. concerned with the public utility issue.
 The government itself should not engage in the utility business if it can find private initiative and private capital willing to under take the business for reasonable and fair return on the capital necessary" Roosevelt said. ! Roosevelt blamed the republi- can party for intensifying the de- pression by it's tariff policy.
 "A proper tariff policy must be a complete reversal of the methods of the present administration" he said. Reciprocal exchange of goods so necessary to us and to all nations is the only realistic meth cd of making goods move"
 Roosevelt, whose reception here included numerous conferences and meeting with Governor Floyd B. Olson, the only farmer labor executive in the country, was scheduled to leave to-day for the east where he is to speak at Rochester. N. Y.
 The significance of his effort be- came more apparent with the warm welcome he received, not alone from democrats, but from essive-republicans and farm er-laborites; at a luncheon a mem- Der of each of the three groups pTeulCled HIS uOIIlludLlOH anu elcC- tion.
 Apparently Governor Roosevelt $ outlook on governments affairs is popular in this vicinity, and his packers hope to capitalize on it to win electoral votes from the re- publican column if he is nominat- ed. From all<parts of the north west democratic leaders came to St Paul to talk with him.
 His visit drew unusual atten- ton from the public. as well as the political leaders. Persons lined the streets when he, drove from the train to his hotel.
 It was the portion of his address inherently replying to Governor Smiths charge of demagogry which, as might be expected, ex- cited the most interest in the au- dience at the dinner.
 By reiterating an insistence on help for the workingman, the small home-owner and the farmer, MT Roosevelt made it clear that he would stand emphatically by the philosophy he set forth in the ra- dio speech that drew Mir Smiths criticism: The avowal that the Hoover administration economic relief efforts had ignored the for gotten man."

OPPONENTS OF SOLDIER BONUS
 BEGIN ATTACKS
Rep Laguardia, Republic can of New York, Was the First Witness to Ape pear Against It

Washington, April 19-UP)- The opposition to the s2,000, ,000,- 900 soldier bonus bill opened it's attack on the measure before the house ways and means committee today with Rep. Laguardia, repn., N. Y., as the first witness.
 Every demand and every re- quest made by veterans since 1919 has been responded to by con- gress." he told the committee, tracing individual legislation. More Than 313,700 veterans are now 10 a degree benefitting from disable ment legislation, he added.
 ''If this was strictly a question of the bonus and finances of the country were better I do not be- lieve this committee would be holding such an extended hearing" i" Laguardia said.
 The original bonus was for the purpose of assisting the veterans at an age when he might need as- sistance, he maintained.
 Laguardia said he was sure leg islation would be passed to rescind interest charges on loans to veter- ans.

 piainville manufacturer, gave him the stock corporation idea in a spiritual revelation" Other mem- bers of the church, including the 83-year-old Peck, claimed to have had the visitation.
 Alcorn related how Stokes came to America in 1916 and spread his divine healing" gospel in Atlantic City, New York city and Boston before coming to Hartford.
 Cecil attempted the same work, Alcorn said. but found his talent fay in financial matters. Cecil has heen more or less of an adven- turer for some time," the states attorney said. He was implicated jE numerous stock corporations which "blew up," including the Continental Airports. Inc. of New Haven.
 The Consolidated Research cor poration, which caused Stokes ar rest here, was put up on a shoe string" to manufacture and sell coal made from coal dust and coke, Alcorn said. It's office was in the church.
 Here Alcorn quoted Jesus to the money changers in the temple: |,
 My house shall be a house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves"
 Alcorn read extracts from let ters of Stokes to Elaine Gorsl1y of Hartford, who invested $1,000 and complained to authorities. Stokes told her the coal invention was 'as result of our spiritual and psychol- ogical work, :" predicting 1t would make millions for investors. Defense Attorney Butler said AL corn had been quite little harsh" with Stokes and said he had ad- vised Stokes and Cecil to plead guilty only because there was a technical violation"
 Butler said Stokes had lived in his home for a year and was a per- sonal friend. He said many Hart ford doctors had sent patients to Stokes whom they had been unable to assist and Stokes had cured them.
 Stokes knows nothing of finan- clal matters and was influenced by his son, the lawyer said. to lover capitalize his enthusiasm
 Mrs Stokes invested $700 and all she and her husband got in return was $412.67 in salary and $2S.25 In expenses. Butler declared.
 Stokes took the judges decision calmly. Butler said he had no money but 1t was expected one of lis wealthy parishioners would loan him the $1.000 to pay his fine.

have HOOD collars placed on all deliveries announcing the event. The telephone operators will call all subscribers and tell them about the big bargains being offered on Thursday. ~
 Remember. that Waterbury mer- chants have announced that they intend to make this "Waterbury Day. bigger success than that of last October. Well. that's saying 8 mouthful because last October's Waterbury Day. was generally ac- ceded to have been the most sue cessful event of its kind in the shopping history of the city. Well, Waterbury merchants don't make idle boasts. They are not in the habit of saying a certain thing is so, without it's coming true. Their announcements will be carried in the columns of the Democrat to- morrow. Your attention is called to these announcements and adver- tisements and it is suggested that you MT and Mrs Shopper, take the the night off and have a good time perusing the ads. You will find there some startling announce ments. As you start to read, you probably will assume the same atti-- < tude you usually take when read ing the messages of the merchants -only looking for what you want. After you turn page after page, you will realize that these messages are not carrying ordinary announce ments. They will be telling you that their. stores have bargains never be- fore dreamed of. And as you glance at the prices you will find that to be true. It will be brought home to you in a surprisingly. poignant manner when you visit the stores to find if those startling announce ments are true.
 Get on the band wagon and make your dollars count on Thursday by visiting the stores. Take advantage of the bargains being offered be- cause they are real bargains where every dollar spent in their pur- chase means dollars worth of re- turn to you. Spring is in the air. so let's all shake the last ties of win ter with its gloominess and join in the song, Were Gonna Put That Sun Back In The Skyi'

 It will undoubtedly be the claim of the defendant that the machine had not been used for transporta- tion. purposes, but that the liquor had been removed from the res- taurant with some equipment and placed in the rear of the building. This particular raid was made by Federal Agent Ralph Johnson, as- sisted by Patrolman Patrick Moy- Ian of the emergency squad.
 All three accused in yesterdays roundup are under bonds for ap- pearance this afternoon before United States Commissioner Harry A. Krasow. Continuances under bonds are expected to be made.

 whether the raid was due to a protest from visitors to the post office or the postal authorities the agents refused to divulge. It is well known. however, that many complaints have been made about men panhandling along Scovill street and spending their receipts in the several speakeasies in that section of the city. A raid has been pending for some time.
 At LoRusso's place cider and wine were confiscated. This raid like at McGrath's attracted large number of spectators. who viewed the removal of the evidence with interest.
 { Cy Bassett and Ralph Johnson, who directed the raid at 38 Canal street which resulted in the arrest of former Alderman Charles Schnitman were in charge of yes terday's squad of seven agents in all. PatroImen Daniel J. Carson and Patrick Moylan of the emer- gency squad took, part in the three visits.

 From state prison came the word also that the authorities of that institution were greatly inter- ested in Anderson's capture and stated that circulars with his pho- tograph would be printed and dis that a reward may be offered for his capture.
 Young Anderson has had a very unusual police career in Water bury. He is regarded as one of the here. His fieetness of foot has cops. Given a foot or two handi- cap and the young man will out; distance any cop on the force and will not stop. for bullets or night sticks.
 The young man who when last arraigned before Judge John F. McGrath, claimed that he didn't have a chance here and was framed was arrested on December g, 1880 after assaulting a young NOludA ObGA tiC ACdQ WAtl q bOttlt and attempting to rob her. The incident occurred on Orange street. An hour after the incident Ander- son was caught in blind alley by Patrolman John Winston and placed under arrest.
 When brought into the superior court he was charged with being a habitual offender. He was found guilty of the charge of as- sault and on his record of four arrests was given the term of 20 to 30 years.
 The state police believe that the young man will make his way to Waterbury and have asked the lo- cal police to be on the alert for his appearance.
 Anderson is married and when in city court in December 1880. shout cd out that his wife wns anxious to get rid of him. He was on pa- role at the time from states prison.

 Smith at the Jefferson day ban quet here last week declared he would flight to the end" any can didate who tried to align poor against rich. He did not mention Roosevelt, but his declaration was generally considered to have been aimed against Roosevelt. The New York governor in a previous speech had declared the Hoover administration, while aiding busi- ness, had forgotten the man lat the bottom of the economic pyra- mid"
 Senator Dill of Washington, a Roosevelt leader. said of the gov. ernor's address last night:
 "The speech impresses me as a forward looking one, in which Governor Roosevelt takes big view of the economic situation.
 Governor Roosevelt rises above petty differences. in which others may indulge. He thinks of the public good, not of class.
 ''The other night, in his radio speech which Smith attacked. Gov Roosevelt spoke only a few min utes. None of his friends has any doubt that what he said at St Paul represents his real views" 4
 Rep O'Connor of New York, a member of the Tammany delega- ton in congress. said he thought Roosevelt showed "a real concep- ton of the situation" and Init the proper note"
 Democratic Leader Rainey of the house believed the Smith, Roose- welt incident was washed out" and saw mo reason why we should have to talk about it any more."
 Governor Rooseve1t's position is that of everyone" Rainey com mented. What he wants is what everyone wants. The question is how to do it. The speech is a sound one."

ATLANTA MAYOR
FACING RECALL
FOR WET VIEWS

ATLANTA, Ga, March IS. (U.P,A
Atlantans voted today in one of
the most bitterly contested elections
the city ever has experienced-the
recall of its prohibition mayor,
James l.. Key.
The election was called by city
council just a week ago on the
strength Of a petition sponsored
by the Greater Atlanta Prohibition
and Law Enforcement club and the
Atlanta Federation of Trades.
DRY" elements in the city have
been working for the recall of the
mayor since he declared Americas S
prohibition law could not be en-
forced, while in Paris witt. other
American mayors last year.
Ironically enough, one of his
companions on that tour-Mayor
John c. Porter of Los Angeles
faces a recall election of his own.
Organized labor which avowedly
is as anti-prohibtion as Mayor Key
entered into the fight against him
because of his alleged unfairness
to labor. His action in vetoing a
bonus to laborers in a city con-
tract and in sponsoring a success
full movement for reductions of the
salaries of all city employees were
most prominently mentioned.
Since his return from the highly
publicized European tour, Mayor
Key many times has repeated his
prohibition utterances. He
opposes prohibition on the ground
that it is not enforceable and IA
vors government regulation Of
liquor traffic under state option"
His refusal to cease talking
against prohibition publicly caused
his dismissal as teacher of a Bible
class at Grace Methodist church
here. Friends of the mayor Or
ganized an interdenominational
Sunday school class for him, which
has met regularly with large at
tendance in a downtown theatre.
The three Atlanta daily news
papers editorally support Mayor
Key and oppose his recall.

MANY TRIBUTES
PAID MEMORY OF
GEORGE EASTMAN
Death OF Famous Inven-

Numerous Friends.
BY ROSCOE SNIPES
United Press Staff Correspondent

ROCHESTER, N. Y, March 15,-
Old friends of George Eastman who
built a fortune on kodak films and
gave most of it away, talked today
of the hobbies, fancies and qualities
of their 77-year-old comrade who
wrote MY work is done, why waltz"
then carefully eXtinguished his Gig
aret and killed himself.
Their comment their praise, their
stories of the boy who started his
life work on a So week job, worked
as bank clerk and perfected a
Photographic film because the old
fashioned plates were a nuisance,
came today from every part of the
world
They came as Rochester, the city
Eastman made beautiful, lay blank
eted by heavy snowfall. They bore
witness to Eastman gifts of millions
for hospitals, science, Fairgrounds,
music, drama and the arts.
All night and early today they
piled up, as the philanthropist' S
body lay in the Eastman home, a
beautiful residence half hidden
from view by heavy growth of trees
and shrubs buried under the heavy
snow.
Eastman had been ill for years;
seven years ago he passed guidance
of the huge Eastman Kodak COM
pany employing 10000 persons to
other hands.
Monday, shortly after noon, East
man asked his secretary and at

FOLLOWING SERIOUS BURNING

top and sides are padded with
blankets.
Physicians said the purpose
of the cOntrivance is to keep
Doty warm while the bOdy's
surface is built up for skin
grating. His back and legs
are most severely burned. The
danger, noted skin specialist
explained, is that the burned
areas might start bleeding.
Within three months - if
Doty continues to "cheat" sci
enee-his doctors expect to be-
gin grating on new skin.
The "oven man" was burned
when an automobile in which
he and two friends were en-
route on a fishing trip, over
turned. The other two we're
burned to death.
DOty's hobby was fishing,
and in a way, his countless
hours spent in the open, ply
sicians believe, is one reason
he is still alive. He built up
a marvellous resistance, they
explain.
Some of his fishermen
friends visit him often. He
refers to them as "the gang"
"The gang has been SWELL"
DOty said. "They come i'm and
we play cards. They don't
seem to make me feel / am
sick"
