Celebration Ends h Second Arrest

His second visit to city court in two days resulted this morn ing in a 15 day sojourn at Brookside for George Opalenilx, 54, of Emerald street, who has a ready faculty for getting into trouble.
 Yesterday George had his case continued for two weeks and then went to celebrate. He celebrated by causing trou- ble in a restaurant and Patrol- man Carl Hespelt placed him under arrest. George didn't like that idea so he took few pokes at the officer with his hands and feet.
 George didn't even get a chance for one of his famous city court rations this morning. "Fifteen days" said Judge Ed ward Mascolo when he saw George. "Ncxt case"

INSURANCE CO
 PAYS THE CLAIM
Withheld Money Owing to Suspicion of Arson Case
 Withdrawn From Court


 Settlement out of court of the $5000 civil action of Clarence Wolk of Oakville against the Norfolk Mutual Fire Insurance company, was announced today. The case was pending in superiar court. The plaintiff is reported to have re- covered over $SOOO in settlement of the case.
 The suit arose from fire in the plaintiffs dry goods store in Oak vile May 12, 1888. As result of this fire, Samuel Wolk, brother of the plaintiff was arrested and charged with arson. At a lengthy trial in the Litchfield superior court he was successfully defended by Attorney Michael V. Blansfield of Waterbury and the jury brought in an acquittal verdict. The trial was held in Litchfield with state police and state fire officials prom inently taking part.
 The state charged Samuel Wolk set fire to the store and then jumped into a river near the store to put out the fire in his clothing. The accused said he went to the store after returning from a dance to get some gasoline for his auto mobile that had become stalled ond that there was an explosion, prob ably caused by sparks form his cigar.
 In the civil action brought by Clarence Wolk in the local court, it was claimed that his store was next door to the store of his broth er's. He took out an insurance poll icy with the defendant company in February 1883. Attorney Blansfield represented the plaintiff in the civil and Attorney Walter W. Symth ap-

TEXTILE INDUSTRY
SETS SEPTEMBER 1
AS WALKOUT DATE
Committee Pushes Preparations
to Have Allied industries
Join Move
STRIKE PROGRAM Definite
Nearly 900, 900 Workers Will
Quit Work, Gripping Practi-
caIly All Mills

Washington. Aug. 27.-(AP)-The
strike committee Of the United Tex
tile Workers, with plans completed
for general strike in the cotton tex
tile industry on September (, Monday
began preparations for q similar walk
out in the silk, rayon and wooden in
dustries.
Francis ]. German, chairman OF the
strike committee, said 1t was highly
possible" that the walkout Of silk,
wooden and rayon workers would be
simultaneous with the cotton strike.
The committee said it would an
nounce the exact strike hour on
Thursday. Other sources, however,
disclosed that secret instructions al
ready in the hands Of regional lead
ers, called for q general stoppage Of
work at midnight Friday.
1nasmuch as the industry is ope-
rating on five day week, with mills
closed on Saturday, September I, and
Monday Labor Day. September 3,
the walkout will not become actually
effective ysltil September I.
The projected walkouts will affect
nearly $4,000 workers, Of whom some
10000 are employed in the nations
cotton mills. While the unions MEM
bership represents an actual minority
Of this number, 1t includes the skilled
workers performing key operations
which, whom suspended, will cripple
most Of the mills.
President Thomas +. McMahon Of
the United Textile Workers has call
ed meeting Of the entire executive
council for Tuesday, at which rep
lesentatives Of the wooden and worst
ed, silk, rayon and dyeing divisions
will be present.
Meanwhile early Intervention by
the national labor relations board
was expected. The strike chieftains
have indicated they would prefer its
mediation services to those OF any
other agency.
German indicated the union was
prepared for long conflict with the
industry.
He said q statement by George A.
Sloan, chairman OF the cotton tex
tile code authority, that the strike
was "inconceivable," would be an
swered by himself and william Green.

AND BROWN
CONTINUE TRACING
VAN METER CLUES
st. Paul Police Chief and Aide
Return From Mystery Trip
Over Week END

st. Paul, Aug. 27.-(P,-Negativ
results were reported Monday by
Chief of Police Frank Cullen and De-
tective Thomas Brown who returned
here from mystery" week lend trip
following the police shooting here
Thursday night Of Homer Van Meter,
Dillinger lieutenant.
The officers admitted their trip was
concerned with Van Meters activities,
adding no money in addition to the
81 800 found on Van Meters body had
been recovered, no line OH the where
abouts of George Baby Face Nell
son. another gangster, had been OBJ
tanned, and no arrests were expected
Although the two had variously
been reported as having gone to Iowa
and Indiana. they refused to say
where they had been.
Regarding q statement from an UNI
named witness Saturday that he saw
two men, one Of whom he believed
resembled Nelson. flee from the scene
Of the Staying. Chief Cullen said he
believed the witness may have mis-
taken two officers for companions of
the gunner.
Cullen said two detectives went
around the block when they saw Van
Meter run into the blind alley in
which he was slain to cut off pos
sible escape through the block, add
ing:
There were no other men with
Van Meter out there"
The officers denied they had been
searching for the body Of John Ham,
ilton, another Dillinger gangster re-
ported from various sources to be
dead.
A half dozen interpretations had
been placed on the mysterious trip.
One was that Cullen and Brown
had gone to Indiana to sift an un-
derworld tip that John Hamilton,
member of the Dilinger gang, was
dead and that his body had been
buried somewhere near Chicago by
his pals after he had been reported
fatally wounded by deputy sheriffs
near st. Paul last April in the gangs
flight from Mercer. Wis. Various re-
ports Of Hamilton's death never have
been confirmed.
Another was that officers were try
ing to trace an automobile believed
purchased in Chicago by Van Meter,
who also was q Dillinger mobster. An
Illinois motor vehicle registration card
made out to q Henry Adams" was
found on Van Meters body after he
had been shot by four St. Paul police
officers, including Chief Cullen.
Van Meters body has been sent to
his former home at Fort Wayne, Ind.
and it was considered probable here
that Cullen and Brown may attend his
funeral there some day this week.

new TIFF BETWEEN
FRANK AND AL seen
Another Break Predicted Over
Smiths Support Of Liberty
League

Washington, Aug. 27.-R - The
capital. ever alert for political por-
tents, wondered Monday whether the
democracy's one-time Damon and
Pythias Prank and Al''-are hav-
ing just another tiff or have parted
for good.
Tuesdays meeting in New York Of
the American Liberty Leagues exec
utive committee is awaited for what
ever it may contribute to the answer.
Because Of the colorful personali-
ties involved, the question predomi-
mated among the many that have
arisen since President Roosevelt's jolly
but cool reception to the union of
property owners fathered by Alfred
+. Smith, John w. Davis, James w.
Wadsworth, Jouett shouse and 9TH
ers. The meeting possibly will be
held In Smiths office In the Empire
State building.
Past alliances and the present dis
lance between Roosevelt and his pre-
decessor as Democratic presidential
nominee has ceased to arouse much
comment Of late. But the Smith af-
filiations with the new forum for
interests and the White
House hints that this organization
forgets the rights Of people In its un-
easiness over the prospects for prop
critics, led to conjecture as to whether
what happened two years ago could
or would happen again in 1885.
