NIECE OF MRS
 OGDEN ARMOUR
 TO BE MARRIED
Alice SiIverthorne, Once Tried to Kill Raymond De Trafford, Man She Is to Wed

Paris. Feb 13 -~ OUP) - The banns for the forthcoming mar riage of Alice Silverthornc, niece of Mrs ogden Armour, and Ray mond De Trafford, the man she once shot, were posted yesterday in the town hall at Neuilly, an aristocratic suburb of Paris.
 'I can only say it is true" Miss S,iiverthorne said. We are going to marry, but it was decided just a few days ago.
 "I must talk again with Ray mond, who also is in Paris, before l can say when or where"
 The wedding will culminate a strange romance, during which the bride-to-be, then the wife of Count Frederick De JanZe, shot De Traf- ford as he was leaving Paris on a train from the Care Du Nord. Her divorce proceedings against the count were pending at the time. The shooting occurred in 1927. She was fined for assault but not held.

CUMMINGS TO

 FOR ROOSEVELT
He Will Probably Handle the Campaign of New York Governor in State of Conn

That former National Commit teeman Homer $. Cummings of Stamford will become the gener- alissimo of the forces backing Gov ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt for the nomination of president on the democratic ticket. is now practically assured. Predictions that the form CT opponent of ex-Governor Smith in 1924 would join once more with forces opposing the nomination of the happy warrior" were made by the Democrat recently and yester- day, following conference in Washington at which Cummings was present, it was announced that the Stamford man would swing once more back into the limelight, this time behind the can- didacy of Roosevelt.
 Eight years ago Cummings back ed William Gibbs McAdoo against Smith. The convention was dead locked and John w. Davis was nominated. Four years ago when Smith received the nomination Cummings sat back and did not push the democratic campaign in behalf of the New York governor.
 Now, with Roosevelt in the race he has jumped into the campaign once more; and once more as Smith

The newspaper said that the desire of some of the Soviet leaders to fight 1t out" with Japan had resulted in q bitter conflict" in the inner councils at Moscow. The Soviet government was declared to be pledged under the pact not to in tervene in any affair affecting the Pacific coast-a purported stipu- lution of peculiar interest to the United States.

 The Japanese consul at the same time at Vladivostok, Siberia, near the Manchurian border and on the Pacific, reported "war-like" activ- ities by the Russians. The Soviet officials have repeatedly em- phasized their desire for peace. It was admitted by the Soviet dele gation at Geneva recently that cer- tain changes were being made to strengthen garrisons on the Man. churian frontier.

POOR HAVE INCREASED
 IN STATE
Share of the Persons Classified as "Paupers Was l9OO- They Have Grown Greater in All Parts of Conn

Waterbury's share of the persons classified as paupers in Connecticut on June 30, 1881, was approxi- mately 1900 persons, it was learned to-day. The biennial re- port of State Agent Raymond F. Gates of the department of state agencies and institutions, filed with Governor Wilbur L. Cross. shows that at the close of the two-year period on June 30, 1891, there were 13,693 under the heading "pauper' listed on the state records.
 This increase in paupers is very noticeable, not only in Waterbury but in the state as a whole. Wa terbury's list of persons receiving charity from the city public well fare department is very much greater than 1t was a year ago. As for the state as whole, there were only 2,474 paupers listed and in 1880 there were 5,082.
 During 1881, though, the in- crease was over 100 per cent. Re- lief afforded throughout the state to the poor, indigent, insane, feeble minded, tubercular and the foreigner ranged from simple ne-

The measure would call for the elimination of the present city courts and justice courts and the establishment of a district courts system. About 36 district courts would be set up in the state. Wa terbury would be the seat of one of the districts but Naugatuck's borough court and the justice court in Middlebury would be wiped out, those two towns coming under the Jurisdiction of the local tribunal. Similar eliminations would follow throughout Connecticut as whole.
 The whole bilf is aimed at the justice court system but the repub- lican leaders of the state, sensing g. shortening in their patronage powers should the measure be passed, successfully blocked its enactment.
 Thomas Hewes of Pennington is chairman of the general committee on the new district courts bill. As- sisting him are Assistant Attorney General John H. King of Williman- tic and Judge Ralph H. Clark of Derby.

Farmers Grow Too Much Short Staple
MILLS REQUIRE
MORE OF LONG
STAPLE VARIETY
u. S. Factories Cannot
Consume So Much Short
Staple And Orient Conn
betes Abroad.

North Carolina cotton farmers have
been producing far too much cotton
of rs inch staple and under. The
mills of the United States cannot con-
sumo it all, and the cotton cannot be
exported to advantage, since it must
be sold in competition with cotton
grown in India and China where la
Dor is very cheap.
According to the best information
available 90 per cent or more of the
cotton manufactured in the United
States is 1916 to l 1-6 inch staple,
and the mills of this country and En-
rope require more cotton of these sta
pie lengths than is now available. Ex-
ports of cotton to England have de-
creased greatly during the past two
or three years, and this is partly at
tributed to the fact that they cannot
get the inch and better staples they
need.
The market demands long staple
cotton in quantity. Neither the cot
ton buyers Or the local mills are in
terested in buying a few bales from a
small grower. They want large lots
of cotton that are uniform in staple
length and quality, and they therefore
look for the better cotton in sections
that have standardized their produc-
ton by growing one improved variety.
