SIMMONS GUILTY | ON THREE COUNTS
IntercessiOn of Mrs L. T. Alexander Warrants Sus=
 pended Sentence

Willie Simmons, 34. of 46 French street was found guilty on all three counts of intoXication, breach of the peace and resistance when he appeared before Judge Edward Mascolo in city court to- day. He was given suspended sen- tences on the first andthird charg- es but sentenced to 30 days in jail on the second, with execution of the sentence suspended.
 In disposing of the case, Judge Mascolo said Mrs. Leila T. Alex ander, head of the Pearl Street Neighborhood House had interced. ed for the accused who had good record, and the problem confront ing the court was what to do with the offender. He explained that Simmons brought all the trouble on to himself by becoming involved with police who attempted to ar rest him on the night of Aug. II.
 The court imposed the suspend ed jail sentence "as a warning that people cannot carry weapons and get away with it."
 Simmons, it will be recalled, was picked up at Cherry streets by Pa trolmen John Walsh and Joseph Collins. simmons was intoxicated the officers testified in city court last week, and had removed his shoes. He had been singing and attracted a large gathering. The officers brought the man to the police box at Bishop and North Main streets to ring for the patrol, when suddenly Simmons slipped out large pocket knife and slashed at Officer Walsh, cutting him severely across the fingers. Officer Collins swung . his night stick and Simmons went down and to St. Mary's hospital. In court this morning, Simmons still bore evidence of the head injury, wear ing 3 large strip of court plaster on the side of his head.
 Henry J. Collette 23, of 169 South Elm street was given a nolle on breach of the peace charges when his case was called In city court today. James B. Me Farland, 34, of 221 Alder street was giv-n 2 nolle on payment of s5 on charges of having no operators license.

HOME ACCIDENTS
 FOUND FREQUENT
StatistiCian D DesCrib e s Unusual" Mishaps in
 State Since January

Since last January 1, the State department of health has kept d careful analysis of all accidents occurring in Connecticut, and this analysis reveals how very easily one may be overtaken by an ac- cident even in his own home anu how minor mishaps may easily turn into fatal ones. William c. Yelling, director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, stated in the de- partment's weekly broadcast today. Mir Yelling declared it was esti- mated that about 150 injuries oc- cured for every accidental death, which would bring the number of Connecticut accidents each year to about 175,000.
 In the first place, Mir Yelling said, accidents are very likely 10 happen right in the home. Even encouragement oe furniture may be hazard, since the department has record of the accidental death of person who fell over chair at home one night in January. A fall from a rocking chair also proved fatal. A fall from bed, with foot caught in the shooting, resulted in death. Many deaths have resulted from falls down stairs and from falls on slippery tile in bathrooms.
 "We have even the case of a death resulting from burns incur red by putting feet in an oven," Mir Yelling said "A tight shoe caused blister resulting in infec- tion and death. Smoking in bed has frequently caused conflagra- tions resulting in death. Again, we have the case of an infection and death resulting from the scratch of a needle, trivial at the time but intimately as fatal as q rifle bullet.
 '"The great antitoxin for acci- dents is caution, more caution and still more caution. Do not let familiarity even with your own home breed too much contempt tor stairways or slippery floors. "In closing this brief review, and in looking over the data from which I have drawn the material. 1 am struck with the fact that so many accidents seem to have been preventable. There is in almost | every one the element of person. al negligence. Let me urge all of you to give a little more thought to your environment, and when the | unusual seems to be appearing, don't neglect it as you would us- ually do. but be alert to greet the situation"

Relief from the 12-hour split shift and the six-day week pro visions of the restaurant code is the aim of the national restaurant code authority, according to A. F. Garder of Chicago, president of the National Restaurant association, speaking at meeting at the Hotel Bond, Hartford last night.

O'Leary's Candidacy
 Stirs Local Leaders
Chairman John H. Crary States He is Not Interested in
 Local Mans Ambition to Obtain Nomination

the local leaders today, the Water bury state delegation will go to New London as avowed supporters of Congressman Francis T. Malon- ey of Meriden for the U. S. sen- atorial nomination but entirely un- committed as far as the local man for the congressman-at-large nom ination is concerned.
 Two other names in the state have been mentioned in connec-' ton with the latter nomination, one being that of former Represen- tative William M. Citron of Mid- dletown. The other name is that of Attorney Thomas McDonougn of New BritIan. The local state delegation two years ago voted for Attorney Citron and he went on the state ticket. It Is possible that if he is in the race to the fin- ish this year that he will have the support of the Waterbury dele gates. However, there is still the possibility of a compromise can- didate appearing on the horizon.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-23

Waterbury's delegation to the democratic state convention in New London is not likely to sup port the candidacy of Dr. Arthur F. O'Leary of this city for the nomination of congressman-a large judging from the attitude of Town Chairman John H. Crary to- day. Dr. O'Leary's candidacy dropped like bonn bshell on the democratic leaders of the city yesterday. When talked with to- day Chairman Crary stated that he had no interest in Dr. O'Leary's candidacy and did not know that the local man was in the race from an official standpoint.
 Dr. O'Lcary, Chairman Crary explained, has not come to him and informed him of his willing ness to accept the nomination of congressman-at The doc tor claims that he has entered the race as the result of continued urg- ings by party leaders of the state.

Political Gossip

Not since ex-GOvernor "Al" Smith campaigned both for president and against Roose- welt gold program have the voters of Connecticut been "treatcd" to the old slang word, "baloney", but they are getting it back once more. Secretary of State John A. Danahcr, who in republican campaign speech recently stat } ed that those who support the democratic ticket are stuck ers," declared last night at a meeting of Nliddlescx county g. o. D. women in Haddam that the claims of Governor Cross that the present state deficit Is the fault of the repub- lican-cOntrOlled legislature is ''what Al Smith described apt ly as political baloncy." The spectacle of a republican can didate for office copying democratic leaders ."baIoney" phrase is likely to make the Jcffcrsonian pceved. However, judging from the start-on of the Danahcr campaign the Connecticut voters are in store for slam bang, slang-colorcd series of addresscS<by the Mer- iden man.
 Throughout the state the question is being asked as to whether or not cX-COmmis- S;o of AFnfDu NnI,ioIne Doh bins B. StOcckel or Norfolk, member of the Yale faculty, will accept the nomination for governor on the g. o. D. ticket. There are many who feel that he would make an ideal com promise candidate so as to WiIcox-Lavcry tanglc. How ever, ex-Commissioncr Stocck- el has issued the following statement: II am not a re- ceptive candidate. am not seeking any delegates, and so far as l know none of my friends are attempting to ob- tain delegates for me. am the nomination" At the same time there is a feeling in the state that Stoeckcl may yet be the man.
 For the first time in his po- litical career Representative Francis w. Hogan of Torr.ns- ton. deputy motor vehicle commissioner. has declared his s,,tnnfinnc of Governor Cross wishes if nec- cssary. Representative Hogan has always been a staunch supporter of Governor Cross policies in the legislature. He Is now candidate for the sen- ate nomination on the demo- cratic ticket in the 18th dis trict and has announced that in his platform will he includ- cd a pledge to vote against the return of Richard T. Higgins to the Public Utilities cOmmis- sion. Commissioner Higgins is a democrat and also chairman of the Public Utilities cOmmis- sion. Representative Hogan in the last two sessions of the legislature however, has fought bitterly and his decision to move for the busting of Hig- gins is easily understood.
 Representative John P. Kie- ley of AnSOnia, who until re- gently was in charge of the To- cal office of the motor vehicle department, and who is now working in Hartford, will not seek the rcnOminatiOn on the democratic ticket this year. His announcement has caused scramble among others with ambitions to become legiS!a- tors, among them former Rep rescntative John G. Fitzgerald, wcll-knoWn in this city. Ex- Representative Fitzgerald ad- dressed the St. Francis Xav- fer Holy Name society here about three years ago. A . three e-cOrnered fight for the nomination is expected, though with Alderman Edward Clancy and Attorney Orvin w. Ahko- witZ also seeking the nOmina-

The bidding was not outstanding.
North and South can make six clubs,
but, unfortunately, they had a part
score of 60, and West opened the bid
ding. East and West also had
part score of so points, and both
sides we're vulnerable. After bid
ding up to four clubs, North and
South sold for four diamonds, but
North decided to double. What
odds?" muttered North to himself
recklessly. -Four diamonds puts
them out anyway"
In accordance with the best social
usage, North opened the king of clubs.
South helpfully dropped an encour-
aging club, thus permitting West to
make four diamonds, doubled. All
West had to do was draw two rounds
of trumps and then take the heart
finesse. If North exits by returning
a heart, the fourth heart in dummy
will be good for a spade discard. If
North lays own the ace of spades he
will win grand total of one spade, one
heart and one club; so it was six Of
one and half a dozen of the other.
From the bidding South should
suspect that West holds one club, at
the outside. Therefore, he should
overtake the king of clubs with the
ace and Immediately come through
a spade. OF course, it's a guess
whether to play spades or hearts, but
since dummy holds the 10, 9 of hearts,
the spade is the better shift. More
over, making a shift while the second
club is still in dummy provides an
other exit for North. South should
certainly take advantage Of the one
opportunity he has to win the lead.
1t served him right that the oppo-
nents made four diamonds, when the
correct defense is so childishly simple.
