While those working quietly for the nomination of Attorney Upson are not divulging their latest plans 50 far the fact that the well known barrister is in the field for the place on the 6. o. D. ticket is known to the camp headed by Attorney George J. Crocicchia, who made the run in 1894.
 G. o. F. Planning
 Attorney Crocicchia Is prepared to enter the g. o. p. senatorial con. vention in the 18th district this year to demand that he be given recog- hilton once more in view of his will- ingness to run in 1884. Failure of the party leaders to honor the re. quest of the packers of Attorney Crocicchia will result in the bitter est primary ever held for 8 6. o. ?. senatorial nomination in 18th dis trict.
 At the same time democratic lead. CTS are not taking any action in view of the fact that the party's incumbent, Senator George T. Cul. hane, is seriously Ill at his home. Senator Culhane, who achieved statewide notice because of his legislative work in the 1885 session of the General Assembly, is now re- covering from an attack of illness. l.. the event that he cannot be Q candidate for reelection the demo. cratic leaders of the city will confel with him on the question of suit. able leader. Several other leading democrats of the 18th district ara being mentioned.
 Independents c?
 Republican and democratic party leaders of the city, alike, are now wondering whether or not the in. dependent democrats will enter can- didates for senatorial and house posts in Waterbury. Should the if1- dependents decide to do so they would cause additional worry to the r. o. D. and democratic chieftians, 1t is clanmed. The parties late this summer will each nominate two candidates for the house of repre- sentatives, one senator from the 18th district and one senator rom the 18th district. The incumbent representatives from Waterbury arc Attorney John D. Thoms and Dan- iel J. Mahoney. Senator Culhane represents the 18th district and Sem ator Joseph H. Lawlor represents the 18th district. They are all dem- ocratS.

Only One Arrest In
 First Two Months Of
 '36On PoIice Records
During Year of IO35, 5o Operators Were Taken Into Custody Here on the Allegation of Driving While
 Under Influence of Drink-62 Arrested in '34


 compiled the grand total of one ar- rest for driving under the infiu- ence of liquor.
 This cuts exactly in half the rec- ord for January and February of 1036, when two arrests for drunken driving were recorded. The current month, only one week old, has ale ready marked against 1t two arrests for this cause.
 Increase Noted
 A noticeable increase in the num- Der of arrests began also in March of 1895. During that month five persons were booked at police head quarters to answer to charges of driving under the influence, due in some measure, it is believed, to the natural seasonal influence in traffic.
 Figures compiled to-day give for the first time the total arrests here for drunken driving for 1895, show ing slight decrease from the pre- vious year. Drivers brought in by police for operating their cars un- der the influence totaled 59 in 1895 and 62 the previous year. The largest number of arrests, 10, was made in october, followed by nine during the month of August, and nine during December.
 Difficult Problem
 Apparently because the drunken driver is becoming an increasingly difficult problem, the state depart rnent of motor vehicles this year instituted Q special bulletin service for the press of the state by which 1t is hoped to publicize the menace to the general safety.
 Figures are presented flor the in- formation of those interested in the traffic accident problem of the state and particularly in alcohol as a causation factor" according to the initial release last month.
 The department reported an in- crease in 1884 license suspensions because of convictions for operat- ing under the influence of liquor, of 42.7 per cent. A slight increase over 1884 is reported for 1885. It notes with no attempt to advance infer- ences," that repeal became effective January 12, 1884.
 Arrangements arc being made by the state department to secure monthly reports for 1883, 1884, and 1886 regarding arrests made by the police of various cities and towns of the state.

New Traffic Court
 Opens In Park City
Bridgeport Plan of Dealing With ViOlaOrs of Motor
 Vehicle Laws Watched With Interest

Commissioner Connor, who recently opened to the general public the hearings on motor vehicle violations conducted by state inspectors, is understood to be an enthusiastic advocate of the segregation of mo- tor vehicle law violation cases from the regular police court, and their trial by special session. He has on several occasions charged police courts with being too lenient with offenders and @ short time ago, in an address in Waterbury, declared that many of the cases were osten- sibly fixed"
 The traffic court established yes- terday in Bridgeport is the first of It's kind, according to reports, in Connecticut. It Is said to be identi- cal to the night traffic courts held In New York city.
 Influence Evil
 Separation of the motor vehicle violation cases will not only tighten the burden of the police court, 1t is held but will also serve greatly to eliminate reports of "fixing," in the cases of drivers who reputedly have influence at the right" sourc- es. Tn @ court devoted exclusively to offenses against the motor vehicle laws, 1t will be virtually impossible to extend favors, proponents of the new plan believe.
