jected on an unfavorable commit
tee report.
Conn. Man Wrote It
The Resolution charged Q Con-
necticut delegate actually wrote
the plank, but his named was with
held.
The committee reported It felt
the hearing unnecessary, because
of expense involved and the lack
of benefit 1t would bring the or
ganization.
1t was suggested, however, that
later on the executive committee
might investigate the activities OF
the Connecticut delegation at the
1888 convention.
The convention voted down an
other resolution which would pro-
hiit veterans, serving In congress,
from occupying places on commit
tees at national conventions.
$1,000 To Test Act
The much discussed veterans
preference act, declared unconsti-
tutional by the attorney general,
came before the session and an ap-
preparation of $1,000 was voted to
make test of its legality in the
courts.
E. P. Armstrong, state service
officer, declared he had spent sew
eral weeks securing data from
other states where similar acts
were passed and found that In in
stances where the constitutionaiity
had been questioned, the statutes
had been upheld by the supreme
court.
1t was understood q procedure
already has been mapped out to
bring the act before the courts inn
mediately after the convention.
A resolution was passed pledging
the Connecticut delegation to the
national convention to urge action
be taken to move more veterans
into white collar jobs.
Several Measures Beaten
A petition to exempt veterans
from paying the state old age PEN
sion tax was defeated, as were
three constitutional amendments
which would have prohibited the
state department from enacting a
tax on enrolment fees, barred all
past department commanders from
voting at conventions unless attend
ing as delegates, and substituted
two vice commanders, without
rank, for the present office of SEN
Tor vice commander.
Col, McCook Drew Bill
Toward the close of the days
business session, Col. Arson T. Mes
Cook, national executive commit
teeman to the 1888 Chicago ma
tional convention. appeared volun-
tarily before the assemblage to adj
nit he drew the anti-infationary
plank Of that years platform.
He said 1t was composed ION the
spur Of the moment" to protect
both the gold and silver advocates,
and called "for sound American
dollar"
"As to $4,000 or $4,000, 00o,"
he declared, II know nothing about
It."

vestigation of the case. The finding
states that on the night of July
Sd, about 10 o'clock, Berkeley was
crossing the intersection on his
way to work at Settlers Village, To-
Gated on the northerly side OF
Chase Park avenue.
When Berkeley started to cross
the intersection he was proceeding
northeasterly. Altstock was driving
a 1888 Ford sedan easterly. The
traffic light overhead at the inter-
section showed amber because 1t
was under repair.
The finding states that when
Altstock's car approached the in
tersection, it was going at the rate
Of so miles an hour. Berkeley was
struck when he was half way
across, and thrown for a distance
of about rs or SO feet, says the
finding. The car travelled at least
100 feet, leaving brake marks of 80
feet on the highway, the finding re-
lates.
Injuries Sustained
Berkeley sustained compound
fractures of the skull, a crushing
of the upper chest, fractures of the
ribs, a crushed abdomen and his
left leg was almost torn away
from the knee, the finding reports.
Coroner Smyth says there is a
sharp conflict in the evidence as
to the rate of speed Altstock was
travelling when he struck Berkeley,
but considering the physical facts,
supported by credible testimony, II
is clear he was travelling entirely
too fast across the intersection.
The coroner says 1t is true that
Altstock was unfamiliar with the
highway, but the amber light,
plailny visible for at least 500 feet
before he reached the intersection
should have put him on notice that
the intersection was there and his
speed should nave been substan-
TALLY reduced.
Right to Highways
The coroner also points out that
the pedestrian has the right to use
the highway in q reasonable man.
ncT anu that ~ 40 AASAAANOANs ePOA'

use care when approaching the in
tersection.
The coroner also mentions that
another witness, Mrs. Mabel Cros-
by of New York city. who had
criticized the traffic light, the speed
of the cars and alleged unreason-
able delay of the hospital ambu-
lance in responding to the emer-
gency call. left for Saco, Me-. an
nounced she would object to testi-
flying. Being beyond the borders ol
the state, Intending says. she could
not be subpoenaed. The coroner
says he is satisfied there was nc
unreasonable delay in the arrival OF
the ambulance from the Waterbury
hospital. In concluding, the find.
ing states, "said death was due to
the criminal negligence of the said
Leon F. Aitstock."

him. The story in the American
to the effect that Chairman Crary
was to be ousted from his post at
the head of the committee was
declared erroneous by the entire
gathering.
No Place Contests
No contests for places on the
democratic ticket are anticipated
this year. Therefore the regular
organization states of delegate sto
the two conventions are expected
to be the only tickets filed a week
from tonight. OF course there Is
nothing to stop any group from
filing a ticket of delegates. Such
action would cause a primary, OF
course.
Two Changes Required
About the only change in the
coming democratic ticket will be
the office of alderman held by
Deputy Registrar OF Voters John
T. Derwin. Alderman Derwin will
not seek denomination. Deputy
Sheriff James Z. o'Leary will not
seek reelection as a city constable,
either, and thsl Will entail another
change IN the ticket. Otherwise, no
changes In the elective Offices are
contemplated by the regular DEM
oepatic organization.

over Egypt, which the Egyptian
government has permitted. In
event o fwar such permission would
be breach of neutrality and safe
guards are envisaged to prevent
such aerial transport.
Would Handicap Italy
If Great Britain were interested
in enforcing any such ban, a for
midable obstacle would be erected
to italian planes flying between
Italy and the colonies. They
could not fly westward by way of
Italian Tripolitania because that
would take them over the Sudan
and all of Ethiopia. They could
not fly Immediately to the east be-
cause there is British-mandated
Palestine. Further on is French
inundated Syria. Permitted to
cross that they would have to fly
over Arabia, which is reported
for Ethiopia.
French opinion. like British, is
almost despairing.

Nazi concern over the known UNI
