ris of New Haven, Secretary William M. Greene of Hartford, Treasurer Fred P. Holt Of Hartford, National Committeeman Archibald McNeil of Bridgeport and National Committee woman Mrs. Fannie Dixon Welch of Columbia. Chairman Smith will call the meeting to order.
 Considerable importance is at tached to the selection of the per- manent chairman in view of the fact that an effort is to be made to ouSt McNeil as national commit teeman. The "keynoter" and per manent chairman will have the power of ruling on various parlia- mentary questions raised at the con- vention. A contest on any one of the chairs rulings will immediately show the respective strength of the "old guard" and new guard" in the convention and it is likely that such move will be made early in the session, which takes place in New Haven May 18th and 18th.
 Cummings Backs McNeiI
 Attorney General Cummings is backing McNeil for reelection to the office of national committeeman. Senator Maloney is attempting to maintain a neutral stand in the "old guard"-"new guard" fracas. Governor Cross, if chairman, would favor anybody opposed by the "old guard, it is believed Therefore, the selection of the "keynoter" Is a serious problem for the conven- tion arrangements committee.
 In the meantime the "old guard" is scouting around for candidate 10 oppose McNeil. They had Paul R. Connery of Norwalk all groomed for the job but Attorney Cummings had both McNeil and Connery ln Washington, D. C., two days ago and gave them heart-to-heart talks and it is now feared that Connery will attempt to avoid getting into a contest.

COrdianne First
 MT. Codianne last week applied for permission to operate busses between Waterbury and Lake Com bounce through Wolcott and Bristol His application was followed by one from the New England Transporta- ton Company, asking permission to use an alternate route between Hart ford and Waterbury through Bris- told and Southington. Its present route is through Southington.
 The North East Transportation Company of Waterbury is the third applicant, asking permission to ex- tend its route in Waterbury on Wolcott Road through Wolcott and Bristol, to Lake Compounce.
 Contest Now On
 The three cornered battle for the franchise is apparently the result of a conviction that a bus line which provided transportation to Lake Compounce, a popular summer re- sort, would prove lucrative at least during the summer months. The new highway makes Bristol much easier of access than formerly.

 Detectives found the gun to have been fired only once.

 Machine Leading
 Vital political consequences may flow from the democratic battle over gubernatorial nomination. Half way through the count, Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, backed by the Nash- Kelly Chicago machine, was leading Gov. Henry Horner but with the latter's great rural strength still to be recorded.
 Observers believed Horner would win and go into the campaign as the democratic opponent of c. Way land Brooks, republican, who ap- peared to have an unbeatable lead over former Gov. Len Small.
 The Homer -Bundesen aggregate vote in the democratic primary was running far ahead of Brooks Small totals. But bitterness of the factional democratic fight may swing ma chine-controlled Chicago democratic votes away from Horner to Brooks support in the November election.
 Some Late Returns
 Borah, Idaha liberal, carried the downstate agricultural communities by small margin in Tuesdays preference primary, but his lead there was too small to overcome the vote which the Chicago publisher rolled up in his home town.
 Returns from 4,770 out of the states 7,430 precincts gave:
 Knox 273,969.
 Borah 210,729.
 President Roosevelt, unopposed in the democratic preference balloting, apparently boiled more than 1,O00,- 900 complimentary" votes.
 A downstate Landslide" won the democratic renomination for Gov. Henry Horner against the Chicago machine sponsored Herman N. Bundesen.
 Returns from 4,914 precincts gave: Horner 475,075.
 Bundesen 50l,237.

 Native Troops Invade
 Asmara, Eritrea, April 15--(UP)-- Native troops of Italian Eritrea, comprising the Eritrean army corps, occupied Dessye at dawn today without resistance.
 The bloodless occupation of the commercial capitals of northern Ethiopia put the Italians on the last stage of the advance to Addis Ababa. It completed an astonish- ingly rapid advance from Lake Aschangi, where the Ethiopian northern army was broken.
 Italian native troops encircled Dessye last night and entered at dawn from the four points of the compass, to hoist the tricolor on the Ghebi, the imperial palace of the emperor and his grand war headquarters until he evacuated it.

 Robert Quinlan, Paul Raybeck Louis Betts, Stephen Wrobel charged with breach of peace, as- sault and injury to private prop erty in connection with the Halas disturbance. Wrobel is a special Danbury policeman. Each was placed under $1 900 bond for arraign- ment in police court during the day John Stacey, charged with breach of peace and assault on Simko, also was held in $1 ,000 bond.
 To Move Its Plant
 As result of the rioting, it was understood the company planned definitely to move it's plant out of the city, and probably out of the state. Two automobiles, in the yard of the Halas home, were smashed by rocks, police said, and the presence of several hundred spectators before the disturbance began led authorities to believe the assaults had been deliberately plan ned beforehand.
 It was the most exciting event since the strike started at the mes- senger plant almost eleven weeks ago. More than 150 workers walked out in protest of an announced plan to install labor-saving machin- cry which would throw ten workers out of jobs. At present about 30 are employed at the factory, 15 of them boys. A company official, in intimating the plant would move, declared there hasn't been enough police protection to guarantee safety to our workers"

DC. CRIME UNIT
ADVOCATED
AT MEET

Formation of a District Crime
Commission was strongly advo-
Gated at a meeting Of more than
400 civic leaders, representing a
score Of organizations, at the
Mayflower Hotel last night.
Newton D. Baker, Secretary Of
War in the Wilson Cabinet, de-
scribed the working Of such a
commission in his home city Of
Cleveland. Work of the Balti-
more commission in prevention
and control of crime was also
described.
Other speakers we're Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings,
Dean Justin Miller of the Duke
University law school and Dis
trict Commissioner Melvin C..
Hazen.
Essentials Listed
Following the meeting, a citi
zens' committee of 81 members
was named to organize the crime
commission for the District. Dean
Miller, in his address, named as
the essentials for success of the
work the following: Trained per-
sonnet: proper equipment; CO.
ordination of effort; facilities for
research.
Describing the work of the
Cleveland commission, Mr.. Baker
pointed out that it keeps a record
of every known criminal in the
city, and cooperates with all
agencies interested in offenders
from the time of their arrest un-
til completion of sentence and
probation.
He advocated that the Wash
ington commission operate under
the Community Chest. This was
done in Cleveland, he said, until
last year when the Chest was
forced to drop the work. The
commission now operates under
private subscription.
One of the greatest causes of
crime, Mr.. Baker said, is the prac.
t1ce of granting trial continu.
anceS. To meet this, the Cleve-
land commission keeps and pub
fishes records of continuances so
that the public may be informed.

Great work has been done by
the Montana Children's Home s.
Hospital, this last year, according
to District Supt. Ernest j. Crosse,
who is here in the interest of the
home. In an interview with a Tri-
bune-Herald reporter he said:
There is a great demand for
little girls, while boys 60 just as
fast. Our medical work is handi-
capped at present because the hos
pital and girls home are closed
to the citizens of Helena for hos
pitalization work. Our boys home
in the valley is doing greater
work, for we had to remodel it
for girls and boys together.
In 1884 we cared for 343 child
rem and in the last 80 years we
have taken care of 5,088 children.
Ninety per cent have made good
citizens, and out of that number
81 came from Big Horn county.
"Anyone who is interested in
taking a child may apply to Ernest
