 ruary 13, 1892. She was a passen- ger in the car of Miss Joan Deegan of Naugatuck. Other passengers in the car were Betty Gervais of Wa terbury and Helen Wakelee of Wolcott.
 According to the complaint the roadster was being operated east erly on Wall street and had prac- tically crossed the intersection when the bus, operated southerly on Temple street. turned sharply to the right, striking the smaller machine.

ter of the American Red Cross. The session was held in the Lin- coln House, with John M. Burrall, chairman, officiating.
 Mrs Edith E. Ladd, executive sec retary, presented an interesting re- port on the national convention which was held in Washington, where speakers of International note took part in the deliberations of the convention. The keynote of the convention was the unemploy- ment situation and how the Red Cross chapters were meeting their responsibilities in cooperating with other organizations, and the new veterans legislation and the means of meeting the problem in the most efficient manner.
 Report on home service was given, showing 255 veterans cases acted upon during the months of March and April, 67 of these being new and reopened claims.
 Report showed a great capacity in the field of production. To date the chapter has received 39,120 ready made garments from nation al headquarters and has on order 237 dozen more. which will be re- ceived in the near future. 54,690 yards of material for dresses, shirts and nightclothes have been receiv- ed, and part of this material has been made up into garments under the direction of Mrs Frank l.. Bug den, chairman of production. Mrs Bugden with a staff of 125 volun- teer workers. and IS church and sewing societies, giving 14,256 L <xP tAn vSl lNtA tAd garments. Mrs Bugden and her the Brown building, placed at the disposal of tho chapter through K. Hayden Brown. Without the volun- teer workers, the local chapter could not have accomplished this herculean task. It is entirely due to their efforts that we have been able to take care of the thousands of school children whose parents were in need through the distress of circumstances.
 Mrs Percy deForest Warner, chairman of distribution, with her corp of 40 volunteer workers, have distributed the ready made gar- ments received from Washington and the clothing made locally to 2,267 families. The distribution room was open from November 1 to April 29, 1888 and will reopen August 1, 1883 to take care of about 1000 children who will be returning to schol the first week in September.
 There are branches under the Jurisdiction of the Waterbury chapter. Thomaston, under the splendid chairmanship of Mrs John |. Braxl, has cared for over 100 families during the past winter. Children and adults have been clothed, and 990 ready made gar

Eagle Brewery
 to Start Again
(continued from Page 1.)

The authorized capital stock is $250,00O or 12,500 shares of V20 par value. Fifty thousand dollars has already been subscribed. The necessary permits will be obtained when production is about to start. The work of renovating the brewery will be started at once. In view of the fact that the plant was completely dismantled when sold to Messrs. Larson and Healey for storage purposes several years 1t will be necessary to purchase and install complete new equipment. It is estimated that five or six weeks will be necessary for the installa- ton work and an additional two weeks to perfect production plans. The plant should be operating by August.
 The old Eagle Brewing com pany enjoyed a splendid reputation throughout New England by virtue of the splendid quality of its pro- ducts. It was announced today that the new company would delay operations to maintain the prestige of its predecessor. An experienced brewmaster will be engaged short ly to undertake the task of prepar- ing the beverage for public con- sumption.
 The reorganization of the forces of employees, truckers. salesmen, agents and members of the office staff will mean work for Water burians. All preferences will go to Waterbury residents. The sale of stock will mean a Waterbury. owned corporation.
 Mir Larson, president of the Eagle Brewery Company, is also president of the Eagle Storage Warehouse, Inc, president-treasurer of the A. N. Larson Furniture Company and Waterbury Storage Company and for years has been head of one Of the states moving and trucking companies, the A. M. Larson, Inc.
 MT Culhane is wel-known in banking circles and is head of the George T. Culhane Company, stock investments.
 MT Healey is president and treasurer of the Howard w. Con- ner Co.,, Inc, and secretary-tr treas urer of the Eagle Storage Ware house, Inc.

Vets Sweep Up i New York State
(Continued from Page 1.)

So overwhelming was the VlCtVIy that many upstate election omciais did not bother to count the vote last night, since even in the few dry sectors the tabulation could not influence the result. Returns from 6,7S8 precincts out of S,837, repre- senting 46 counties of the state's 62, gave, for the wet delegates, 1,7O2,676; for dry delegates, ls2'- 6S6.
 Some villages reported no dry votes, or only one. The Bronx proved the wettest county in the state, voting 186,573 for the repeal slate, 2,S67 against proportion or 65 to one. Manhattan voted wet by 51 to one. Only four small counties, out of the once-solid up- state dry bloc, were definitely re- corded in the arid column. Appeals of national and state democratic leaders for a huge wet vote to serve as an incentive to other states to vote speedily for repeal were amply followed in per- centages, though attempts to get out a big vote failed. Only about half the eligible voters went to the polls. nj,
 Formal ratification of repeal will be accomplished by the 150 dele- gates, chosen at large, at 8 conven- tion in Albany, June 27.
 The list of repeal convention delegates, who will merely rub ber-stamp' the mandate of the people of New York state, includes Alfred F. Smith, President Mich olas Murray Butler of Columbia university, former secretary Of state, Elihu Root and Representa- tive James w. Wadsworth. The 15O delegates are evenly divided among republicans and democrats.
 Smith, who has been credited with having done more than any individual toward bringing about re-submission of the 18th amend- ment to the nations electorate will be chairman of the convention. Wadsworth will be first vice-chair- man, Mrs Norman B. Mack, widow Of the late democratic national chairman, second vice-chairman mad Mrs Ruth B. Pratt, former congresswoman, secretary.
 Washington, May 24.-(UP)-. The entire resources of the demo- cratic party are being thrown into the fight for repeal of the 18th amendment.
 With full administration back ing, Postmaster General James J. Farley, national democratic chair man, declared he was sending in- structions to every party leader to support and speed up the repeal campaign. Repeal was one of the paramount issues of the party platform.
 Farley, cheered by the over- whelming wet victory in New York state, was hopeful that repeal would be a reality before the close of 1893. New York was the sixth state to Vote for repeal. Thirty six notifications are necessary.
 As exclusively predicted by the United States last week, the Farley announcement is expected to be the forerunner of a vigorous campaign to be launched immediately upon the adjournment of congress. President Roosevelt will participate.
 The president, according to close friends, is preparing to issue a statement urging his supporters to rally to the cause of repeal, partic- ularly in the south where bitter fights impend.
 Already the administration has sought to aid the repeal campaign by promising that $220,000.000 in new taxes proposed to congress will be eliminated as soon as the 18th amendment is removed from the Constitution.

(COntlnued rom Page 1.) had bought between s5,0O0 and $6,000 worth of clothing, Mrs Jelke recalled having bought "a lot of clothing" but said she did not know the exact cost.
 !. T remember buying 60 pairs of stockings, six night gowns, nine combinations, 35 pairs of gloves, nine dresses, 12 bags. four evening gowns. and an evening wrap, on one occasion" Mrs Jelke said.
 Asked why she had purchased things on a wholesale basis at that time, she said that her husband was in Europe, that she wanted him to come home, and that she figured that if she ran up such heavy bills he would come home.
 The former Alabama society belle was smartly dressed, as yes- terday, in & blue sport ensemble and light tan jacket, with sport shoes and light stockings.
 Mrs Jelke admitted having writ ten her husband in January, 1882. about five months after their sep aration. and also in December.
 Asked if she had tried to find her husband in 1892 she replied:
 'No, why should IF"
 Regarding previous testimony that her husband had bought clothes for the Countess Drough- eda" in London, she admitted there was only one purchase-when she. her husabnd and the countess went to the London wool shop of W. Bill. She said Jelke bought bolts of cloth for her and the countess.
 Mrs Jelke admitted having talk ed with their former Paris chauf- feur and maid in Paris this spring regarding the divorce suit. She merely refreshed their memories. she said.
 Questioned regarding her tastes for the arts and sports, Mrs Jelke said she liked to watch polo matches. enjoyed reading and the theater, but disliked opera.
 Did you know all about your husbands opera box?" Sisson ask ed.
 "Oh. yes." replied Mrs Jelke with seeming sarcasm, T knew all about that"
 Discussing their social life in this exclusive watering place, Mrs Jelke said she felt languidly" to- ward the Newporters. While here. she said, she attended functions at the William H. Vanderbilts. and the Austin Greys. Once. she said. she refused to go to a fashionable ball at the Vanderbilt.s because the weather was disagreeable and the driveways muddy. She also declined to attend a luncheon at Cornelius Vanderbilt's
 Mrs Jelko said she always had a struggle to get the proper clothes to wear.

Prosecutor to

 The willingness of the committee to discuss the controversial matter sets at rest recent rumors to the effect that the bill would be al lowed to die in committee. What action the committee will take is as yet unknown, but 1t is a 50-5O bet that a report may be sent into the senate Thursday.
 The house to-day retained on the calendar the bill taxing ath- letic fields of all schools in this state. Owing to recently formed opposition it was decided to post pone action at to-day's session.
 The house also retained on the calendar the bill requiring certifi- cation of bonds for all cities under 90,000. Only four cities would be exempt by this ruling, Waterbury, New Haven, Bridgeport and Hart ford.
 The senate adjourned after a brief session during which 6 house petitions asking substitution of the Alcorn town control bill for the state liquor control bill, were re- fererd to committee.
 Two measures regarding regula- ton of the size and weight of trucks also were referred to com- mittee.
 The appropriations bill and council of education bill, which were starred for action. were not discussed to-day but retained their places on the calendar.
 Hartford, Conn, May 24.-(UP) Unless the general assembly sets up an emergency relief commis- sion, with appropriate powers and a reasonable appropriation for ex- penses, the state cannot hope to benefit from the $500, 0,000,0 900 fund established by the federal govern ment for direct unemployment aid to the various states.
 Such was the assertion of James w. Hook, chairman of the Con- necticut unemployment commission, and Leroy A. Ramsdeil, chairman of the Connecticut social Work CTS committee.
 Hook and Ramsdell conferred on the provisions of the fedaral act. They said Connecticut taxpayers would bear a proportionate burden of the half-billion dollar fund whether or not they obtained Q share in it's benefits.
 A senate bill which has been before the legislature since January calling for establishment of an em- ergcncy relief commission would satisfy tho federal requirements if enacted, it was said.

 Pecora had to fight with sena- tors to get some information from Morgan. There were moments when it appeared he might resign if he took the advice of friends in the hearing room.
 Tt has been said frequently" Pecora said in urging publication of the list of banker borrowers, "that tremendous power has been exerted not only on banks. but up- on private industry as well. by pri- vate bankers. This has been charged on the floor of congress. The information have asked for, and unless the committee prevents me. if spread upon the records.
