|CIRLSTOWAWAY OF NEW BRITAIN :.
 COMING BACK
FOurteen-Y -Year-Old JOa n Bailey Will Be Met By
 Her Parents

New Britain, Conn.,, Aug. 14-O. P.)-Mr. and Mrs. Leslie J. Bailey will be waiting at the dock with a check to greet their daughter, Joan, 14, when she arrives in New York Friday from France aboard the liner Champlain.
 The check will be given officials of the French line, for Joan is en- route home as a stowaway, who sailed aboard the Normandie, gain ing the distinction of being the first to so accomplish passage across the Atlantic on the new queen of the seas.
 Waved Her Goodbye
 Joan and her brother, Jimmy, 1S visiting an aunt in New York, in- spected the Normandie just before sailing time. Unknown to her bro- ther, Joan decided to make the voyage and when the Normandie pulled away from the dock, she waved a bood-bye to the amazed Jimmy standing on the wharf and then took a turn about the ship.
 By the time her parents were notified of her seafaring decision the Normandie had dropped her pilot and 1t was too late for Joan to be sent ashore.
 Assured Payment
 When her father assured pay ment of her passage, the girl was put aboard the Champlain as a paid passenger for the return trip.
 The Bailey's will go to Manas- quam, N. J., where they have a summer cottage, after the Cham plain docks, to spend the remainder of the month.

GET RICH QUICK
 SCHEME KILLED

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 14-(UP) Another get-rich-quick "chain" enterprise came to an end today when police held Mrs. Nellie Rand Maslen, 46, who, 1t was charged, operated a "5,000 for $5" scheme in which the names of more than 2,250 players were'recorded on the books. Many others, police be- lieved, were paid off inasmuch as a confiscated bank account showed a balance of only $3,345 whereas, on the basis of the number of par ticipants. there should have been $11,250 in the reserve.
 Prosecutor Thomas J. Conroy, announced the money would not be returned to the players but would be divided between the city and state, under the general confis- catory statutes.
 The scheme was halted last month and auditors set to work upon the books and charts which were seized. Mrs.

FISHERMAN IS FLOWN TO SHORE
 WHILE DYING
Stricken With Mysterious Malady-An Autopsy
 Has Been Ordered

Boston, Aug. 14.-(UP) Flown to shore through dense fog by coast guards after being stricken with convulsions 125 miles at sea, 8 Chelsea fisherman died a few minutes after reaching Chelsea Marine hospital to-day. Mystified by the fatal malady, doctors or dered an autopsy. The victim was Martin Shanahan of the crew of the steam trawler Penguin of Rockland, Me.
 Stricken Early To-day
 Shanahan was stricken early to- day while the Penguin was in the vicinity of Georges Banks. A request for aid was radioed the coast guard, and the cutter Ossi- pee, patrolling the Banks, respond ed. Shanahan was taken off and found to be seriously i'll. The Ossipee radioed for plane to transfer him to a hospital. A "pea soup" fog hung over Massachusetts waters as the coast guard Amphi- bian 139 took off from the Salem base with four men aboard.
 Plane Flew Blindly
 For hours the big plane cruised blindly over the fogbound Allan. tic. guided solely by the radio di- rection finder. before it located the Ossipee. Starting for. Bos- ton with the dying fishernfan aboard, the Amphibian's crew To cated the beam from the radio bea- con of Boston airport and reached here an hour later. A waiting ann bulance carried Shanahan to the Marine hospital but he succumbed before doctors could diagnose his ailment. The rescue plane was in charge of Lieut.. Victor Tydlaclla, with H. w.

 tice. The suspect was previously under bonds of $5,000 on a local assault charge, having been ar- rested on a warrant secured by Sal vatore Cocchiola, who claimed that Mario attacked him few days ago. Waterbury police will waive their right to prosecute Mario, Chief In- spector William P. Keegan said this morning, in favor of the more serious New York charges.
 Willing to Testify
 New York police say Mario is known to them as "Lonardeli,"
 According to the information se- cured by The Democrat, Mario de- clared that he was willing to ap- pear in court as a witness against the men he named as being in- volved in the white slave ring.
 The prisoner is said to have been positive in his statements and ir his linking of several names and places with the vice ring, naming at least one place in Waterbury and several in nearby towns, places easily reached from here.
 The report also was that Mario had described in detail the means by which he claimed girls are brought into western Connecticut from New York city, placed in one of the disorderly houses and moved from place to place.
 Mario was arrested Monday on a warrant by Patrolmen Fred Hickey and Patrick Moylan of the vice squad. Police immediately set bail at the high figure of $5,0O0 giving no reason for such a high amount. It was revealed yesterday that Mario had been under suspicion and his prints forwarded to New York. Study of the fingerprints re- suited in wire from New York yesterday afternoon informing local police that Mario was wanted there.
 New York police said that late in 1882 Mario was arrested on a burg lary charge, but skipped bond while awaiting trial. He could not be located, though a bench warrant for his arrest was issued. Also fac ing Mario in New York are charges of assault and robbery.
 A resident of this city for almost three years, Mario at one time worked in a Meadow street florist shop. A few months ago he was questioned when fire which broke out in his apartment caused consid erable damage to a Center street building. A cigarette butt, careless ly discarded, caused the blaze.

TWO HUNDRED DIED TN ITALY FLOODS
(Continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.) bursting from the dam swept down the northern hillside to join the local rivers which empty into the Pc.
 King Victor Emmanuel was re- ported on his way to the flood area.
 Villagers in the Ovada district of the Ligurian Apennies gathered in muddy streets before the ruins of their homes to-day while auth critics called the roster of residents to determine the loss of life.
 Pending a complete check, auth critics estimated a death toll of perhaps 200, including 1S0 in the district close around Ovada. They said they believed that reports of from 600 to 1000 dead would prove to be great exaggeratoins.
 Whatever the loss of life, the tragedy was one whose extent no on tried to minimize.
 Torrential rains burst dam 192 feet wide which confined the waters of Lake Orticella, 5k miles long. The water smashed down thruogh the country with irresi- tible force, overwhelming the hamlets in its path and jcining the waters of the Stura and Orba riv- CTS. Roads were flooded. High way and railway briges were torn away ad traffic was paralyzed. Telegraph and telephone lines were washed away by the waters and great masses of mountain earth and rocks, loosed by the rains, crashed downward.
 On Roofs of Homes Inhabitants who could not reach high ground took refuge on the roofs of their homes but many of the homes-authorities estimat- ed about 200-collapsed under the water pressure and those on top of them were carried to death.
 Thought the flood hit the area at 1880 D. m. night had fallen be- fore rescue work could be really organized. because of the prostra- tion and this delayed the count of the victims.
 The first regiment of artillery and the second battalion of en- gineers, regulars. were at work all night and coordinated rescue and relief efforts at dawn to-day. King Victor Emmanuel. shocked by the tragedy, was reported near , ing the flood zone after a hurried trip from his summer home at San Rossore.
 
 Villages Destroyed Many villages were destroyed by the flood. Seven of them - Ghiaia. Cremolino. Faiello. Silvano, Oapriata, Predosa and Borgo - were completely engulfed. All who could escaped to high ground, but the death list was expected to be heavy.
 Military authorities were caring for the survivors. Roads leading from Milan, Turin and Genoa were crowded with trucks filled with soldiers and supplies.

(Continued from Page 1.) in the city, they have been ac- corded warm support by shoppers of the city. And why not? They know when they enter a store that Is one of those joining in the move ment, they will make purchases that are really worth while at prices far below the normal price. The good old dollar bill will have rubbed qualities, in that 1t will be found to stretch to proportions not normally applicable in purchasing power.
 Dollar Day is not an entire strange event in the city therefore needs no special introduction to shoppers of the city. It's past rec ords speak for it as a gala day of bargains offered at prices within reach of everyone's pocketbook, regardless how small it may be. That Is the idea behind the move- ment.
 Stores All Prepared
 The stores will be ready for the crowds that usually come to town on Dollar Day, as soon as the doors of the cooperating stores are open. The merchants ask that the shoppers come to the city early or Dollar Day and make their pur. chases 50 that they can avoid the last minute rush at closing time It ihelps the clerks in the stores who will no doubt be tired as the afternoon wears on and by coming early to the stores the shopper has the advantage of selecting the bar gains at his or her leisure.
 The stores will be open from g o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the evening. Those nine hours should give every shopper ample time to make a trip to the city and purchase the bargains desired. Dol lar Day doesn't come very often but when it does, it should be treated as an old friend for good news in the form of extraordinary bargains comes with it.
 Read Democrat Advs.
 Again it is suggested that the Announcements of the participating merchants be read in the columns of The Democrat today and a se- lection of the merchandise pro- posed to be purchased, be made before the trip to town is made tonnorrow. The announcements are clearly set forth and provide en- tertaining reading in themselves On election day, the advice given out is to get down and vote early On Dollar Day tomorrow, the same advice can be offered-get down town and buy early.

Nearly one thousand of them will be utilized to trans port 7,500 men to the camp. The remainder of the 17,000 New Eng land trops, including the local con- tingent, will be transported by rail. Major General Fox Conner, who recently visited Waterbury, will command the New England First Corps. He and his staff left the army base for the camp Monday morning.
 Waterbury units, more than 300 strong, will mobilize at the armory Saturday morning and will entrain for Philadelphia, New York, at 2:50 o'clock Sunday morning from the ocal railroad station.

 crat to the effect that removal from the regular primary lists faced many signers of the petitions of the minor parties, that "the edi- tor of the Democrat should stop worrying about the registrars re- moving from the voting lists the names of those who have signed our petition".~
 Today's action by Republican Registrar Taller indicates that Publisher Pape of the Republican and American is the one worrying because his regular forces are be- ing opposed by the independent sop. group. It is the g.o.p. regis trar citing in republicans for re- moval from the regular republican primary list not the democratic registrar.
 Notice One Week Ahead
 Under the law persons who are cited to show cause why they should not be removed from the primary list of any one party must be served with a notice not later than one week before the party primaries take place. The demo- cratic primaries take place Mon day night so that there is not time enough to comply with the law along this line. Those cited must also receive two days notice.
 Therefore. Republican Registrar Taller is in a position to cite the signers of the four minor party pe- titions whose names are on the regular g.o.p. primary list and the making out of the citations will begin tomorrow. More than 200 regular g.o.p. primary. voters were found to have signed the petitions of the minor organizations.
 Sergeant Duggan to Act
 Sergeant William Duggan will direct the serving of the citations. At the hearing. expected to take place next week, Republican Reg istrar Taller and a deputy narned by G. O. P. Town Chairman Fred erick w. Palomba, will sit. The matter being entirely . republican. matter. the democratic registrar or democratic town chairman will not participate.

Nv the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCtdteu FIeSs'
Senators who specialize in foreign
relations may find the coming con-
gressional session an especially busy
one. Half a dozen treaties are await
ing the Senate's approval.
Among them is the one calling for
American adherence to the World
Court, but it is considered unlikely to
be brought up again after the thump-
ing defeat it received last January 80
The two most controversial subjects
are copyright treaty and the Argen-
tine sanitary pact, both considered
likely to be reported out by the For
eign Relations Committee.
Copyright Treaty Situation.
Last year a virtual agreement was
reached TO ratify the copyright treaty
along with bill revising copyright
laws. While the treaty provides auto
matte copyright of literature, music
and similar artistic productions in all
the so or more signatory nations, the
bill goes a step further. Over the
protest of the American Society OF
Composers, Authors and Publishers
the old copyright law imposing a
mandatory fine of $3.50 or more for
violation of copyright is stricken out
Actual damages will be the basis of

CHEMISTS TO HEAR
DR.. DU WGNEAUD
Review of Research in Endocrine
Secretions to Be Given
at Rochester.

In recognition of his work on en-
docrine secretions, DR.. Vincent du Wig
neaud professor of biochemistry at
the George Washington University
Medical School, has been invited to
present paper before the Symposium
of Organic Chemistry, which meets
Monday in Rochester, N. Y, it was
announced at the university today.
DR.. du Vigneaud will present a re-
view of the research work done
throughout the world in the chemical
isolation, Identification and synthesis
of endocrine secretions, substances vital
to the well-being of every person. Uni
versity officials expressed qualification
that one of the faculty, primarily
physician, should be invited to appear
before group composed of chemists.
In DR.. du Vigneaud's laboratory at
the university, much has been ac-
complished in the study of the en-
docrine secretionS, or hormones, which
fall chiefly into one or the other of
two large and significant groups of
chemical substances. One group is
made up of substances classified as
proteins, substances related chemically
to egg albumen. Of the protein en-
docrine secretions, the two principal
ones are those of the pituitary gland.
which acts as regulator of all other
glands of internal secretion, and the
secretion of the pancreas, the insulin
OF which is so necessary for the
prevention of diabetes.
DR.. du Vigneaud's study of nsulin
has been from the standpoint of its
chemical structure, to permit the
chemical production of a substance
which will have the same effect as
