and Michael Stance, 81, who is one
of three suspects in the custody of
the Waterbury police.
The fourth, who has disappeared
from the city, but who is well
known to the police is reported to
be Ernest Ladd, ALA Bugs Moran,
the monicker given him by his pals.
Ladd has been involved in other
episodes which brought him into
official contact with the police.
Stance is expected to be ar
raigned in police court tomorrow
morning and remanded for trial at
a later date, giving the police more
time to carry on their search for
Ladd and to investigate the pos
sible connections two others may
had had in the case. The two who
are being detained by the police
on the technical charge Of
vagrancy are Joseph Burns, 81 and
Irving Gaess, %. both Of this city.
Stance, Burns and Gaess were ar
rested at the Waterbury hospital
last Wednesday morning when
they called ITO inquire as to the
condition Of Robinson, the recog-
nized leader" Of the gang.
Burns and Gaess have previous
records and If either the state or
local police can obtain sufficient
evidence against them to warrant
holding them as witnesses the
necessary charges will be made.
The local angle Of the case has
been Investigated by Lieutenant
Joseph Stevens and Detective Will
liam Foley. Lieutenant Schatzman
and State Trooper Russell Olsen
have represented the state police.
Since the night of the hold-up
and shooting the police have pur-
sued every possible lead or clue.

Children Who Are
Falling Behind in School

Children who are falling behind
in school, have no interest in play,
are underweight, listless and run
down are the greatest source Of
worry to tired anxious mothers.
They may not secure from their
food the vitamins they must have
to maintain growth and health, to
keep up with their playmates.
Father Johns Medicine contains
exactly the food elements which
are so often lacking in the diet and
in form which is easily taken up
by a weakened run down system.
Among other valuable ingredi-
ents Father Johns Medicine con-
tains the purest medicinal cod liver

Waterbury Day to
Be Thursday

To provide every convenience
for the shopper, the committee has
arranged for free trolley and bus
service from $3.50 to IL in the
morning. Cars and buses from
all parts Of the city will be operat-
ed every few minutes during the
free riding period, to the center OF
the town.
For those who have their own
cars, parking places will be fur
nished at reduced rates. The park
ing spaces are located near the
shopping centers.
The stores will be kept open I'M
til 9 o'clock in the evening. Extra
clerks in each store will be on
hand to provide ready service in
courteous style. Theaters are CO.
operating by reducing their admis-
sion prices in the afternoon. Des-
taurants will offer special Water
bury Day menus.
It can be seen from the above
plans that the committee has gone
to great pains in arranging for the
comfort and convenience of the

carried out by the merchants and
other business men, cooperating in
the big sales event.
The idea behind Waterbury Day
is to bring the shoppers into town
so that they may take advantage
of the amazing bargains being Of
fered at prices hardly believable.
There are no catches about the
plan. 1t is an honest city-wide
propect wherein the merchants Of
fer their best wares at the smallest
conceivable profit.
There have been other sales
events, large in scale and proper
ton, but none equals waterbury
Day." That is a sort of pet day
for merchants and shoppers. They
like to have this day set aside for
their own edification and profit.
The merchant profits by the sale of
the goods; the shopper profits by
purchasing worthwhile goods at
breath taking prices.
The shelves of the merchants
stores have been stocked-with
honest to goodness merchandise
and wares Of all descriptions -
They are expected to be cleaned
when night and closing time
comes. 1t will be remembered last
year when the idea of Waterbury
Day was first preached, there was
some hesitation concerning its ac-
ceptance. Would the shopper CO.
operate? Would he appreciate
that the merchants were sincere
in offering certified merchandise at
cut prices?-these and other ques-
tons arose. When the big day
arrived, not few of the cooperat-
ing merchants were dubious about
1t success. How the day was ac-
cepted--the thousands of people
choking the main thoroughfares-
the thousands of dollars turned
over the counters-Is now history.
The biggest sales event in the city's
annals was the mark set up. 1t
proved beyond a doubt that Mr.
and Mrs Shopper will cooperate
when they know they are being
offering something worthwhile.
So, with last years event still
fresh in everyone's mind, the mer-
chants and shoppers eagerly await
this Thursdays Waterbury Day.
The idea Is catching-it's in the
air-Mr and Mrs Shopper are pre-
pairing for 1.-THE merchant is
preparing-What a day 1t should
be!-What q day!

years event includes the follow

can be squeezed into the 80 spaces.
1t Is likely that the presidential
electors Of each party will be put
on the button. There is no way of
splitting on these electors, anyway,
SO this punching would not cause
any legal question to be raised.
Four years ago there were 81
places designated on the local vo-
ting machines. This year, though,
there are %, due to the fact that
two extra officials will be voted
for-eight electors instead Of seven
electors instead OF eight and a con-
gresham at-large.
In the city election OF last year
the entire 80 buttons on the To-

mated by the legislature the local

Washington State Republicans
have held their biennial session,
adopted a platform, selected pres
idential electors, named delegates
and alternates to the national con-
vention in Chicago next June,
elected Mark e. Reed as their new
national committeeman, commend
ed president Hoover and the Re-
publican elective officials, adopted
dry policy and adjourned.
But
They have left a long trail OF
dissatisfaction, both behind and In
front. From some standpoints the
was badly handled po-
litically. The fact that the Re-
publicans adopted a dry plank was
not because Of leanings that way,
but by reason of inability of either
faction to develop anything that
looked like leadership.
Just as at Bellingham, when a
wet plank was adopted, so at Sc
attic. the dry plank was the result
of dickers or rather inability to
dicker, or attempts by amateurs
to pose as professionals.
Even at that it is a question as
to whether or not the dries or the
vets, taking the individual dele
gates, were in the majority. Most
probably the individual dry vote
was the largest.
One thing stands out: Congress
man Ralph A. Horr, of Seattle,
ayowed candidate for the United
States Senate might just as well
stop now. His name called forth
ieers. boots and cat-calls from all
sections of the state. Mr.. Horr
was simply overplayed. and then
muffed the ball by failing to show
mn when needed by his cohorts.
On top of this, his reasons for
falling to arrive on time, as he ex-
nlained in the morning paper IN
Seattle which has stood as bus
sponsor, was childish in the ex-

There was plenty of governor
ship gossip at the convention. The
Hartley people had little to say,
altho some of the officers, appoint
alive, Were actice. The other cleo
tive state officials Were NOSE con-
spicious by their absence, some
thing never before noticed at a
state convention. Not one was
present.
The Gellatly forces were out
making hay, such as there was TO
be made.
But there was apparently no
crystalization behind any one
candidate. In fact the Gellatly peo-
pie were as disappointed as were
the governors friends.
Rumors that John Dore, Seattle's
mayor-elect, would get into the
race were current. These were
squashed by Dore later.
There was also some talk among
the younger element that Ed
Davis of Dayton; former speaker
of the House, was good timber for
governor. One staunch Hartley
supporter made the suggestion that
he become candidate for lieuten-
ant-governor instead. Davis's 10y
al friends hoped to the idea of
racing him for governor. Davis was
non-committal but naturally was
pleased.
The stock of Frank w. Hull was
not boosted.
There was an undercurrent, how
ever, that all the cards in the deck
have not been exposed as yet and
that somewhere lurking in the
background is a dark horse not
being groomed.
