Mickey is coming with eonsid- erable pleasure, he says, because he wants to do his bit in the program for the Riddle show to be staged at the Poli theater on the 22nd. The Riddle show is being arranged through the cooperation of MT Fitzpatrick, the Waterbury lodge of Elks and the Democrat in connection with the Elks' Christi mas charity program this year.
 The boys ana girls who attend ed the show last year remember the swell time everyone had. The price of admission was some form of food, whether in package, bot tie or can. There were lots of good food stuff brought last year and 8 good many needy families had better Christmasses because they were given well filled baskets. There is only one request to the boys and girls planning to attend this year and that is-don't bring perishable food.
 Mickey Mouse will be master of ceremonies for the program this year and what a show he has in store for the boys and girls! He wants to keep it a surprise, but something never heard of before Is going to be staged this year. Keep the date in mind-Saturday morn- ing, Decent Der 22d, and plan to welcome Mickey Mouse.

CODE VIOLATION
 LEADS TO ARREST
Fire Marshal Obtains War; rant in Drive to Compel
 Respect for Laws

First steps in what appears Co be a determined drive by the fire marshal's office to Insure safety of egress from tenement buildings in case of fire were taken today with the arrest and arraignment in city court of Edward Gottlieb, 2S, of 13O North Main street. Gottlieb was arrested py Patroiman John Winston after Fire Marshal Dennis J. Lahey swore out warrant against the North Main street man. charging him with violation of the fire code by wilfully obstructinG egress from tenement building.
 Gottlieb, in city court, asked for postponement of his case and was granted a continuance till Saturday hy Judge Edward Mascolo. Accord. ing to the fire marshaIs office. Gottliebs car was parked near an exit to the Kenwood apartments, 13O North Main street, when fire broke out in the building Oct goth. Since then, it is claimed, he has failed to heed warnings given by the marshals office and the car was still in the same parking place lest night.
 The fire code section of the city ordinances carry fine of S25 and costs for each offense of the type, while fine of $25 for each day the section is violated is also pro- vided. It is believed that the arrest of Gottlieb marks start of the drive against similar alleged violations, In a number of recent alarms, fire- men have been greatly handi- capped by cars, parked near rear exists from buildings and by other obstructions.

JUROR TAKEN ILL;
 CASE IS SETTLED
Unexpected Ending ir $l0,OOO Action in
 Superior Court

Illness of one of the jurymen hearing a civil action in the local superior court, inadvertently caused the action to be settled out of court today. The suit. Frederic c. Simons, administrator, against Michael A. Haddad, went on trial last Thursday and was to be re- stunned this morning before Judge John A. Cornell and the same jury.
 D. H. Bacon of Derby did not re- port at 10 o'clock when court opened. Half an hour passed and still there were but II jurymen. k the meantime counsel in the case; Attorneys Michael V. Blansfield and Harry J. Beardsley for the plaintiff and Attorney Walter D, Monagan for the defendant, began to discuss settlement terms.
 Five minutes passed, and then 10 minutes. Finally, counsel decid- ed to settle the issues out of court. After the adjustment was reported to Judge Cornell, in walked MT Bacon, pale and not feeling well. He excused himself to the court and announced he had been taken i'll on the way here.
 The suit asking $10,000 damages was based on the death of Mrs Margaret Simons, Feb. 7th. The in- juries causing her death were at- tributed to a fall she suffered in the defendants store on Madison street, Oct. 28th. Her husband. Edgar was the original plaintiff. but his death occurred shortly after the institution of the civil action and Frederic Simons was permitted to be substituted as plaintiff.

NEUTRALITY HELD
THREAT TOPEACE
Chicago U. History Head
Sees Change Needed to
Avoid War.
Rx the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, August 1.-THE United
States, to avoid "the next war" must
alter its traditional policy of neutral
ity, Bernadotte Schmitt, 1890 Pulitzer
prize winner for history, said today.
Prof. Schmitt said in an interview,
ITO avoid becoming involved We viii
have 10 modify our traditional policy
Of neutrality. If We do the latter we
will suffer huge losses"
However we may dislike the fact,
we are inextricably involved in the af-
fairs Of Europe and we must evolve
a policy toward Europe which viii
strengthen the forces OF peace and
save our own skins"
Prof. Schmitt became chairman Of
the department of history at the Uni
versity Of Chicago when william e.
Dodd went on leave as Ambassador to
Germany.
IF we stand by our theoretical
rights, We can't escape war" he de-
clared. The position of the United
States as a neutral would be no
stronger than It was in i914-19l7, he
pointed out, and unless we do some
thing-like cooperation with the
League of Nations-there is nothing
to prevent a repetition Of the story:
$4,000 Americans were killed because
an archduke was slain"
