WHAT CATHOLICS
 BELIEVE AND WHY
Subject of Address at Sec 0nd Church Forum Last
 Night
BY w. II. KERRISH

"Christian Unity as a Catholic Views It. was the title of a talk
 delivered last night at the Second
 church by William F. Kerrish oi
 Boston. The fundamentals of tho Roman Catholic church are that it
 Is one, it is holy, Catholic and Apostolic. the speaker said. He
 explained that 1t is one because
 1t is the same thruoghout the world. it is divine because it has
 visible body and was founded by Christ. He added that the Ro- man Catholic church Is divine and
 infallible in its teachings on re- ligion and morals and pointed out that Christ told St Peter was the rock on which he would build his church and, therefore, gave the latter the power to interpret his doctrines. Popes since St Peter
 are the spiritual successors of St Peter, the speaker stated.
 The sacrifice of the mass was explained by the speaker. as a re- newal of Christ on Calvary. Con- cerning the preaching of doctrines of the church, he said if priest breaches doctrines not in accord ance with the church he is silenced
 because the teachings are not those of the priests but are those of Christ as interpreted by His Apds- ties.
 We believe" he said, "that Christ established but one church,
 the Roman Catholic church, and in
 1t alone can be found the fitness of the moral applications of the teachings of Jesus Christ"

SPRINGFIELD M0T0RIST WINS DISCRARGE
Legal Difficulties Based And Wallis
 Gains Freedom
No New Testimony Marks Case Which Started Last August With Bad Accident on Meriden Road in Which Chester L. Gould Was Seriously Injured

An automobile accident on the Neriden road which resulted in Chester l.. Gould, %, well known telephone company employe being seriously injured early on the morning of August 11th and had ak it's sequel a 935, 900 lawsuit filed within 24 hours time, was recalled tD'mind again today when John w. Wallis, A, faced Judge T. ". Mey- or on the charge of operating a mo- tor vehicle while allegedly under the influence of liquor.
 The complaint was not a new one. It was filed on the morning ef the accident, but the case has been continued from time to time t. await the recovery of MT Gould. The latter suffered fractured skull and was in the shadow of death several times. He has partially re- covered from his experience. Wal lis, insurance company has com pensated him for the damage to his car and his personal injuries. The $35,000 suit has been adjusted satisfactorily apparently to parties involved.
 Today Wallis received a dis charge from the serious saccusa- tions. No new testimony was re- corded. Judge Meyer reviewed the evidence as given last October. There was no evidence to link Wal lis with the actual operation of the car. It was his machine, but he was only passenger in 1t at the time of the crash. The police couldn't refute his statements to the effect that he was not the driver. The accused consequently was given the benefit of the doubt and dis charged.
 On the morning of August 11th. Wallis was driving out the Meriden read on his way home to Spring field. He had spent the previous afternoon and night with some friends here. Wallis, incidentally. is we'll known here owing to his interests in realty developments. He was driving a brand new car on that particular day, fact which had attracted the attention of sev- eral policemen. About o'clock in the morning passing autoists came

company kept up its schedule on all lines, practically. by maintain ing crews on the job throughout Saturday night keeping tracks cleared and switches from freezing.
 The city street department CO., operated with the Connecticut company and all motorists in gen. eral by getting a huge force of men on the job at o'clock yes- terday morning. About 300 men were pushed into service, clearing the center streets of their snow covering and sanding dangerous hillsides.
 However, no extra help was used by the street department, the usual crews being utilized. During early Sunday morning, also, five blows were kept constantly on the go. No extra. trucks were used either, the regular force of vehi- cles being pressed into service for the extra Sunday work.
 This morning was bitterly cold with the mercury down low in tht thermometer. Towards noon, how. ever, the mercury began to rist and hopes were held out for mildel weather. If the weather does be. come milder 1t is figured it will be a big help to the merchants and the Christmas shoppers.

Waterbury had practically re- covered today from the driving snow storm which struck the city Saturday afternoon and ragged un- til the early hours of yesterday morning. Several inches of snow fell and the fall was followed by frigid weather which was felt throughout Waterbury today as everybody turned to stoking up stoves and furnaces.
 The central streets of the city were cleared today and traffic was proceeding as usual. Yesterday, though, church-goers, on foot and in automobiles. found it hard travelling in the morning. As the day wore on, however, sidewalks were cleared and roads were travelled down or shoveled out with the result that pedestrians and cars appeared in larger numbers. The telephone, lighting and power and Connecticut companies escaped with little or no bother. No unusual wire trouble was ex. perienced by the telephone and power companies. The Connecticut

upon the new car in n ditch. On one side of the road was the wreckage of a Ford car and in 1t was the unconscious form of Gould. Wallis was found by Patrol men Vincent Begg and Alfred Overton of the motor patrol walk ing around the wrecked car sn a dazed condition.
 After Gould had been rushed to St Mary's hospital in a serious con dition, Wallis was locked up on the charge of driving while under the influence of liquor. He was ordered held for trial under bonds of $5,OOO. While waiting at police headquarters for friends to post bail for his release Wallis had pa pers served on him, making him a defendant in the $35.000 damage suit as described. Property held in his name and that of his wife and located in Springfield was placed under attachment.
 On the day of the trial Wallis claimed that he was in the car. but was not the driver. He attributed the crash to the fact that 1t was reaning heavily at the time and that either Gould or the friend who was driving his car made an error of judgment of distance in passing each other.
 In the three other cases on the city court docket today, James Dessureau, 17. of Willow street. charged with breach of the peace. was given nolle. Richard Burns. 4S. of Woodtick road, was given 15 days on a breach of peace com plaint. while Vincenzo LaMattino. 50, of 123 Francis street, was given the alternative of paying $5 a week for the support of his wife or serv- ing 60 days. LaMattino has been involved in several actions on Il similar charge. His case once went to the superior court. He claims that he Is unable to pay. His wife insists that he has money. but re- fuses to advance any to her.
