FAMILIES UNDER
 GUARD FROM THE ARMED BANDITS
Gangsters, Who Kidnapped Woman Yesterday, Are
 Not Captured

Monroe City, Mo, Jan 10-(UP) Members of two East Missouri families were under protective
 guard to-day as police continued
 search for four heavily armed des- peradoes who terrorized them in spectacular series of crimes. The families were those of Roy Car penter, school teacher whose wife was kidnapped by the gang as a shield against gun-fire of police in three brisk encounters, and of Julius Jackson, to whose home the
 bandits took Mrs Carpenter and
 held her captive for eight hours. About D. m., after a day spent at the Jackson home where meals
 were ordered cooked at the point
 of rifles, the bandits drove off, lib- erating Mrs Carpenter on a deso-
 late side road. She returned home later.
 The quartet, believed to have slipped through police lines, first was encountered at Hannibal,
 where two of them stole an auto mobile. Police Chief w. J. Schneid-
 CT and Sergeant Omalee Baker
 gave chase, only to be met with 8 burst of rifle fire. Pursuing the
 fleeing car, Schneider and Baker
 caught up as it arrived at the Car penter home, where it was joined by 8 second bandit car. The stolen
 car was swiftly parked behind the house, and three men rushed in-
 side, Kidnapping Mrs Carpenter while fourth bandit, concealed in a roadside cu1vert, held off po- lice with rifle fire. Then all fled, taking the woman.

GARDEN

Showing at the New Garden the- ater today for the last times Is the Four Marx Brothers in "Duck Soup" and "The White Sister" with Helen Hayes and Clark Gable.
 The added attraction tonight will be Auction Circus with Sam Bar low as master of ceremonies.
 Clara Bow, the ever -firey, makes her latest screen appearance in "Hooplo", her second starring film to be released under the banner of Fox film. The production is slated for a two day engagement at the New Garden theater beginning to- morrow. In this story of carnival life that dramatizes the hatreds, the desires, the romadce and the loves of the Big Top, Clara Bow Is said to reach the highest point of achievement in her colorful career. The roles she plays is reported as so well suited to her capabilities, that 1t promises to be the most im- portant portrayal she has ever undertaken. In "Hoopla", Miss Bow depicts the part of fiery carnival dancer, and the environment of the open-air show forms a kaleidoscope background for her constantly changing emotions and the fire or her personality. The story Is built around this young dancer who makes a wager that she can win the love of a certain young man. The young man happens to be the son of the carnival's chief barker. He is a youth whose nature is far removed from the hectic surround ings of the carnival and he falls an easy prey to the well-polished wiles of the dazzling dancer. It is his sincerity and his naive manner however, that work an change in the nature of the girl. For the first time in her life she is confronted with the real meaning of love. The boys father objects to the affair, and there follows series of incl dents in which these three attempt to straighten out their tangled lives. The climax is reported as one of the most ingenious of all the Clara Bow classics. The cast in support of Miss Bow Is headed by Preston Foster and Richard Crom- well and further includes Herbert Mundin, James Gleason, Minna Gombell. Roger Imhof and Flor ence Roberts.
 The companion feature is sky way" with Kathryn Cdawford and Ray Walker. It's blazing drama of q born adventurer in the high ways and skyways of llfe--the story of a high flyer with q high temper who got what he wanted by fighting for it---and he wanted plenty. The featurettes are "Leave 1t To Dad". Hollywood Parade, and Fox movietone news.

manufacture of liquor. He was arrested yesterday afternoon when federal and local officers raided the old Lockwood farm off the Middle bury road and made a large seiz- ure. A 500-gallon still was found in operation. Four large vats con- taining thousands of gallons of mash and 200 gallons of alcohol were seized.
 The raid was conducted by Capt Daniel J. Carson and members of the local emergency squad, Pat rick Moylan, Fred Hickey and Ed ward Roach. Four federal agents from the Hartford and New Haven offices took part in the confisca- tion.
 Treola claims that he does not know the name of the owner of the premises or the still. It is ex- pected that the federal authorities will make a checkup on ownership before the accused is arraigned in the U. S. District court. Local police consider the loca- ton of the still one of the best they have discovered in years. A barn almost filled with hay screened off a partition. In the cellar close to heavy walls and on a cement flooring the big boiler was operated.

fspecIal To The Democratl

Naugatuck, Conn, January 10 A dispute over a quarter in a stud poker game Saturday night at the Polish American club on Bridge street in which Joseph Kit reys of 64 Anderson street was al legged to have been stabbed with 8 knife after having been struck and elected from the club during the argument, resulted in fines for three Union City residents in court this morning. The case lasted near 1y two and one half hours and the courtroom was damned with spec tators.
 Eugene Zakrczki of City Hill street was fined $25 and costs: An thony Cicio of 34 Spring street was Gned $2O and costs: and Stephen Eondyinski of 17 Hopkins street was fined $1O and costs. Deputy Judge Hugh Hearns in fining these men said there was no question but what there was an assault and said that if some of the members of the newly formed organization composed of representative class of citizens" feel they can "de- grade the organization" by gam bling there they should be made to realize they cannot brawl with out paying for it.
 "Keep Sabbath Day.
 Remember you keep holy the Sabbath day." he said, after fining Che three. It had been brought out that it was Sunday morning when the dispute started. The charge of assault against Walter Wodkecz of 115 Prospect street was not proved by the state and Prosecuting Attorney Martin Caine recommended he be discharged in view of the fact he seemed to be 9. simple spectator. Judge Hearns did so.
 The state was trying to prove that Cicio cut Kitreys after the game. Kitreys had lost, he testi- fled, and the state claimed Cicio used a knife which had been used in preparing hot dogs to cut him in the right hand. The defense claimed that Kitreys had stuck his hand through the window of the clubhouse after being elected, be- ing given the 'bums rush." as At- torney Caine phrased it.
 Claim No Knife
 Attorney James l.. Dalton re- presented the defendants land pro- WlLilCoSc6 WllO tcStllSu no knife was used, that Kitreys re- ceived a backhand slap in the nose from Eugene Zarczki which caused the latter's nose to bleed. It was claimed blood on the floor and on exhibits offered came from the nosebleed, but Attorney Caine, in showing Q bloodstained shirtsleeve worn by Kitreys brought out through testimony by Dr Charles Kennedy that 8 cut in the sleeve was directly over q wound in the wrist.
 Testimony revealed that in the stud poker game, which cost five cents to open and the limit of raise was 90 cents, a dispute developed Joseph is said to have called Eu- gene a name and the latter called him one back. A fight then devel-

cped which ended with Joseph be- ing elected, with a black eye, bloody nose and bloody shirt. Kitreys testified Cicio used the knife on him. He said he returned from the clubhouse Sunday morn- ing about 4:45 and his wife ban daged his bleeding hand. She could not stop the flow of blood, he asserted. He was attended by Dr Charles Kennedy.
 | A pair of pants, shirt and a coat were shown the witness and he said he wore them Saturday night and claimed the blood on the shirt and the cut on tho shirt came from the injury to his right wrist and that the cut in the cuff of his shirt sleeve came from the alleged knife blow. He said Cicio struck upward at him. He said .he blood on the pants came from his in- jured hand and said blood on the shirt came from his nose which was said to have been injured in the argument.
 Attorney Dalton cross ques- toned thew itress. Under cross ex- animation Kitreys admitted he was playing cards and lost $3 but de- nied he got angry. He admitted Ee was elected from the clubhouse. He said he broke the window with his elbow after he vas thrown out He said he saw a knife in Cioio's hand but was not able to describe the kind of knife he saw. A cur tain with alleged blood stains on 1t was identified by the witness as being one hanging in the window of the clubhouse. He admitted that it was blood on the curtain. And still you say someone stabbed you" Atty Dalton said.
 Kitreys said that possibly the blood got on the curtain when he was elected from the clubhouse.

Most observers believe that re-

there is little fear that any severe

made will occur.
If that is true, there is one in

can make that will bring him "civi-

give his family something that can
not be adequately measured in dol
lars and cents-a higher standard of
living. And, through the act of
building it, he will stimulate recov-
cry. No dollar we spend does more
to provide employment and to slim
ulate industry. than the c%onstruc-
ton dollar.
