Trading on the Waterbury far
mers' market was reported gener-
ally slow which Is usually the case
on Monday mornings. Only Few
products of which supplies were
light were in active demand. Due
to the fact that the end OF the
fresh vegetable season Is near at
hand the quality OF several pro-
ducts has recently averaged poorer
Mcintosh apples Of No. grade
were scarce and averaged higher
in price with demand active. Poor
quality apples OF other varieties
continued in generally slow de-
mand. Native grapes were prac-
tically off of the market with the
exception of q few small lots. Spin
ach was in heavier supply and
lower while demand continued
fairly active. The drop in the To-
cal price of spinach was due
chiefly to lower prices In New
York city where offerings from this
section had been sent.
Caulifiower was liberal on the
farmers market but consisted
m ostly a poor quality stock. Po-
tatoes were somewhat lighter In
supply and showed a slightly hign-
err price tendency. A limited guam
titv of ripe tomatoes OF average
quality brought from SO to GOO

Parsnips continued In fairly ac-

SAY OUTPOST CAPTURED

Quayquil, Ecuador, Aug 2e.-tF,-
Federal infantry, artillery and air
planes stormed Quito, the capital Of
Ecuador Monday to stamp out the
revolt started by military supporters
Of President-elect Neptail Bonifa2.
The drive on the capital came from
the north and the south, it was Of
ficially announced.
1t was the first time airplanes ever
took part in an actual battle In
Ecuador.
The battle started at Sis a. m
when federal forces captured the city
Of Magdalena, six kilometers south OF
Quito. after brisk fighting. and then
pressed on toward the capital.
Five infantry battalions and two
regiments of artillery were taking
part In the action, according to the
official announcement.
Before the battle communique was
issued 1t was said the leaders of the
rebels, who had set up a provisional
government, we're hemmed in.
A rebellious political group aided
by a contingent of soldiers had set
up the new provisional government
in Quito, but they were asking for a
parley.
This information was contained In
the first dispatches received from the
capital since the revolt occurred Sat-
urday. At that time part of the reg.
ular Quito garrison gained control Of
the city after heavy fighting.
The rebels were supporting the
movement of Neptali Bonifaz. who
vas elected president last fall and
was to take office next month. The
provisional government of Presiden,
Moreno. however, argued that Boni-
faz was ineligible because he was
born OF Peruvian parentage. Con.
gress agreed with him last month.
President Moreno was reported tc
have taken refuge in the Argentine
legation at Quito.

ATTACKS HITLER'S STAND

Berlin, Aug. 2o.-R-Defying all
the political parties Of Germany to
Dust his Junker government, Chan
cellor Franz Won Papen has laid be.
fore the nation year-long resuscita-
ton program that will risk nearly
half billion dollars on the immi-
nent return Of prosperity.
The chancellor launched his pro-
gram fox harassed Germany before
a meeting Of Westphalian farmers at
Muenster Sunday. He gave defiance
especially to the outspoken Nazi lead
er, Adolf Hitler, and served notice that
he would keep the seat Of power
thus:
IF necessary I shall use force to
bring about recognition Of the equal
rights applicable to all German citi-
Gems. I am freely determined to
stamp out the smouldering fires Of
civil war and to suppress increasing
political unrest and political acts Of
violence" .
Then came the surprising Junker
scheme to coax back prosperity and
to give more than 100000 OF Ger
many's 100000 jobless something to
do. It was based on this premise:
Eve proceed from the consideration
that important signs point to the fact
that the bottom OF the depression has
been reached. hence all efforts to re-
invigorate industry will contribute to-
ward actual revival"
The heart OF the scheme itself.
roughly. was:
More than two billion marks (cur-
rently about $47e,000.00O can be
risked on the program, which has
been approved by the Reichsbank,
and which should be financed by a
system of tax certificates.
All taxes of a nature likely to hin.
der production. such as the turnover
tax and the transportation tax. due
between November II this year, and
the same date next year. and esti-
mated at 1900, 100000 marks, will be
handed back to the economic life Of
the country in the form Of certifi-
Gates. The taxpayers can borrow the
equivalent of these certificates from
the Reichsbank for use in his bust
ness. In addition 700.000,000 marks
will be advanced to such industries as
will increase their employees. The
government hopes this will give EN-
ployment to at least 1.750,000 men.
The chancellor's speech was consid-
cred especially in the light of the
opening Of the Reichstag and the
Prussian diet on Tuesday. and the
rumored Hitler Centrist coalition.

THREATENED STRIKE
OF RACING AIRMEN
IS AVERTED monday
Reduction in Prize Money For
National Meet Caused Dis.
pute; Compromise Made

Cleveland, o., Aug. 20. - up - A
threatened strike Of pilots partici-
pating in the national air races here,
was averted Monday when a COM
promise between them and air race
officials was reached after an all
morning conference.
The filters claimed that the prize
money offered in closed course events
totals only % per cent Of the amount
previously advertised.
Sunday night they signed petition
agreeing to withdraw from further
competition unless the prize money
offered for the events was doubled.
L. w. Greve. president of the cor
poration, expressed surprise at the
demand. The information concern
ing the reduced prizes was posted"
some time ago, he said.
Approximately 100000 In prizes for
the closed course events was offered
IN the invitations to contestants, the
filters said.
But after making their plans upon
that basis. they found the actual to-
tai offered was $4,000. including the
$4,000 awards for the Thompson
trophy race. the outstanding speed
event of this years program.
