so, HEALER IS HAILED
 TO COURT
Pasquale Gall0tti, CObbler, Fake Doctor, Released From Hartford Jail, Brought Here to Face One of His Patients

A shoemaker who failed to stick to his last and who turned "charm doctor", to cure physical ailments was introduced in police court this morning In the person of Pasquale Gallotti, A, of 131 Brook street. Hartford. His local engagement was made possible on his release from the Hartford county jail where he had served 113 days for failing to cure his patients and to impress the court officials of his insolvency.
 Charged formally with obtaining $52 from Mrs Rose Santosatta of 14 Bronson street, Gallotti through his conncel, placed himself at the mercy of the court. He ad- mitted his guilt and "declared him. self destitute. The fact that, the Hartford sentence was meted out with the knowledge that Water bury was also waiting for him in- fiuenced the court to give Gallotti a chance to return to his former trade, shoe repairing. with the un- derstanding that he would make an effort at restitution. The case here was disposed of with a sus- pended jail sentence of sixty days. IHe accuSeu WaS pIdcctu +OIi pIo- bation for a period of six months.
 Ms Santogatta, suffering from physical ailment learned from ia friend in Hartford that Gallotti possessed a "cure" for her troubles. A contact was established between her and the shoemaker miracle worker. She paid $51 for the loan of charm that was to effect a cure, The "charm" was a. piece of soft lining as used in coats. It was sewed up in apiece of blue cloth. Gallotti of course had a liytle hocus- pocus ceremony to per- ferm in placing it on one of his "victim patients"
 Shortly before Mrs Santogatta became conscious of the fact that the charm was the bunk, the would be miracle man was placed under arrest in Hartford. Judge John F. AacGrath was informed this morn- ing by an attorney from Hartford that 1t was the prevailing impress sion in thatrcity that Gallotti had cleaned up considerable money, so pressure was brought to bear on him to part with a few dollars

They face food shortage and an urge of police authorities that they move before the week end. They face pos- sible unsanitary camp conditions. Last night, orderly but grimly, they paraded through the capital streets in a mass manifestation of their demands. .
 Meanwhile other groups pre- pared to move on Washington or were enrOute.
 The 1000 World War veterans at Los Angeles who swore to get to Washington and stay until the bonus is paid" faced the prospect of their number being halved due to lack of transportation.

BATTLE TO THE LIMIT
 STARTED
Five Eastern States Gath= CT Their Cohorts Around Smith Standard in Fight to Elect Shouse and Bury Gov Roosevelt

New York. June S-tU. P.) - Alfred E. Smith will lead the drip ping wet democrats of five east ern states in fight to the. limit to elect Jouatt Shouse permanent chairman of the democratic nation al convention--and the issue will be Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Roosevelt. according to Shousc and other Smith workers. broke faith" by announcing his support of Thomas J. Walsh, the dry Cath ollie senator from Montana who refereed the 1924 Madison Square McAdoo- Smith contest.
 Roosevelt, according to smith workers, made the Walsh move in a new bid for dry support in west ern and southern states--an at tempt they said to be 'all things 10 all men in all places". Smith forces denied. however. that they would fight Walsh because he was a dry.
 The decision to "go the limit" for Shouse came during q conference of Smith workers, here. and force cast bitter struggle in the first round of the Chicago convention.
 The strategy of the Smith cam- paign 1t was believed, would be 10 convince the democrats of the Da- ton that Roosevelt had aliena.ed democrats in the five eastern states which would make Roosevelt nomination worthless to the party. The Smith forcer. it was indicated, would reveal that bitterness fy their fight for Shouse.
 The campaign plan. which aleo calls for the nomination of Alfred r.. smith, and necessarily must "stop Roosevelt" was the principal development in day that include l many affecting the course of the democratic party in the Chicago convention.
 Among them:
 Smith forces hailed John D. Rockefellcr Jr's appeal for repe;.l as a blow to drys and to Roosevelt forces, who. they said. hoped to in sert plank in the democratic plat form calling for rc-submission but worded 10 satisfy the southern and western drys.
