should be no tamperin9 with TYDOL'S high

of TYDOL developed patented device ia

AUTO HITS POLE, DRIVER ARRESTED
MargiOtta' Faces Serious Charge as Result of
 Accident

Charged with violation of the motor vehicle laws and driving while under the influence, Barto- lomeo Margiotta, 2G, of 46 Webb street, was given a continuance till Wednesday in city court this morn- ing.
 Margiotta was arrested Saturday night after the car he was driving struck a telephone pole at Hamii- ton avenue and Silver street, near old St Joseph's cemetery. The car was badly damaged.
 Patrolman Patrick Hobart, who made the arrest, said that he was walking along Hamilton avenue when the car ran up on to the side walk and hit pole. Running to the scene, he found Margiotta ly- ing in the road. Another man, Michael Santoro, 30, of 40 Wall street, was passenger in the car. Patrolman Hobart said Margiotta admitted that he was the driver. A further investigation was made by Detective Henry Johnson and Pat rolman Thomas Bergin.
 Frank McCann, Al. of 195 North Main street, was given a discharge on charges of breach of the peace brought by John F. Dowd of Mer- ry street. Dowd claimed that Mo- Cam struck him while he was at the office of Attorney Morris Rob- in. where McCanS has floor space. Attorney Robin substaptiated Me- Cams story that he did ninsti- gate the trouble, and Judge John F. McGrath discharged McCann.
 Andrew Druskinis, 47, of 36 Hill street was given a suspended sen- tence on breach of the peace charges.

Error Of Judgment
 Cause Of Accident
Judge Els Rules in Favor of Defendant in $lO.OOO
 Action Katherine Fellows Injured in Crash

Issues in favor of the defendant are found by Judge Arthur F. Ellis in a decision handed down today in superior court in the civil action of Katherine E. Fellows, of Nauga- tuck against Mrs Margaret l.. Smith. The plaintiff claimed $10,-
 900 damages for injuries suffered when the defendants car in which she was riding operated by Steele
 c. Smith collided with a machine
 operated by Francis J. Moynihan
 on Baldwin street, July IT. 1882. Judge Els in a page decision states 1t is not an easy case to de-
 eide. He points out that the plain
 tiff as a guest passenger cannot,
 recover unless the defendants
 agent was acting in reckless disre-
 gard of her rights. There was cer-
 tainly little testimony to indicate
 the don't-care-what-happens spirit,
 the decision says, but there was
 much evidence to show that the
 collision was caused by a momen-
 tary error in judgment.
 Judge Els finds the speed under
 which the car was operating was reasonable and that the warnings alleged to have been given the driver to be careful were in fact
 not given The plaintiffs repeated and obvious exaggeration of her condition after the collision and the long period in bed and con- finement to the house for several months casts doubt upon the ac- curacy of her testimony concern Ting the collision itself, Judge Els states.
 He concludes saying the whole thing presented picture of a man driving at reasonable speed in the center of the road, who when confronted with an oncoming car, while passing a parked truck, committed a sudden error of judg- ment and on the impulse of the moment turned the wrong way. Attorney John F. McDonougk and Attorney Henry J. Freeman appeared for the plaintiff. Mascolo. Mcknight & Dauch represented the defendant.

 ELECT CHAMBER
Only a Matter of Form and to Show Love for
 MussOlini

Rome, March 26-U.Po-ltal- ian voters, turning out in great numbers to register their support of Premier Benito Mussolini, elect ed yesterday a chamber Of depu- ties whose main function will be to arrange it's own death. Official re- turns announced to-day showed that 92.25 per cent of all registered voters went to the polls to vote TOT the sole chamber ticket presented 400 men nominated by the Fas- cist grand council from 1000 names presented by the Fascist considerations representing every form of national activity.
 There seemed little doubt, from the complexion and spirit of the crowds, that the voters went as much to show their support or MussoUni as anything else. He was cheered frenzied1y by long lines of voters waiting to register their bal lots when he went to cast his own vote Though it is not possible in- telligently to forecast how long the new chamber will live, it Is certain that. by reforming the constitution as regards the parliamentary sys- tenn, it will vote it's own death and the birth of the guild economic legislature, in which categories of sections of the national life will carry on the work of the state, substituting direct personal interest and expert knowledge for party politics.
