Naugatuck, Feb. 2e.-"I certain ly knew nothing of any trick on Pierce E. Freeman and in my opinion, someone outside of the democratic party played the trick Warden John J. Sheridan said to- day when asked if any member of his faction made Q phone call to Mir. Freeman issuing c bogus invi- tstion to come to the Neary build. ing where a session of the republi- can town committee was being held.
 The warden admitted he was in the vicinity of the town hall at the time but pointed out that if he had planned such @ trick, he would have tried to conceal his where- abouts.
 T can't understand why any member of the democratic party should be connected with such 6 scheme, he declared, adding that there would be no sense in @ demo- crat playing joke on another democrat. MT. Freeman and I have been friends for years," he said.

 There are several democrats who aspire to the position now held by Mir. Cook, republican, and thus far the examination ranking of the local applicants has not yet been an. llounced.
 After the ranking is announced, the highest candidates name will probably be selected and the senate will then pass on this nomination.

Picture of Russia
 Russia, Land of Goddess Men" Is the title of motion pictures to be shown by Frank E. Smith, Sunday evening at the Methodist church at 7:46 o'clock. Mir. Smith paid his first visit to Naugatuck in December, and was accorded the honor of being the first speaker in all the three years of the popular Sunday evening pro- grams, to be invited back by the congregation immediately at the conclusion of his presentation. At that time, hc showed films on China, Japan, and Hawaii. Young, though he Is, Mir. Smith has travel cd far and wide throughout the world, and has the enviable ability to capture some of the thrill of his wanderings and give 1t to his aud- fences.
 In the motion pictures, Russia, Land of Goddess Men,, MT. Smith will give e humorous but syinpa- thetic introduction to- humanity's great social experiment, and will ex- pand on such interesting points as the historical background of Rus- sia, why the Soviets outlawed re. ligion in 1871, what necessitated flve-year plan and its successor, and the future of the church in @ communistic state. MT. Smith per- sonally photographed all the films he will show, and they reflect views that were eye-openers to an Ameri- can youth in the midst of social upheaval. The program is open to the public, and only a voluntary offering will be received to defray M. Smiths expenses. A worship service will begin at 7:46, and will be featured by the hymns of George Coles stebbins, who celebrated his ninctieth birthday last Wednesday. He lives in Catskill, N. Y. and is . member of the Methodist church there.
