HoHyvood, City's Squatter Tolun,
 WiH Go Way OfAH Fesh--PoLice
Notices Sent to DweIIers to Vacate-Shacks to
 Be Burned Down

Hollywood, the squatters' colony in the Golf Lots along the Naugatuck river, was threatened with extinc- tion today. Police said that the squatters had been warned to leave the village today and had been told that the rude shacks along the river banks would be burned down or torn down.
 Lieutenants Patrick Moylan and Fred Hickey brought the warning to the squatters yesterday, following a report to police by Health Ohlcer pr Edward J. Godfrey that the colony is unsanitary and a menace to the public health. Deputy. Superintend- ent Daniel J. Carson said that the Walter Holmes estate, owner of the property, had also complained about the squatters.
 Some 25 or 30 men make their homes in the rough huts at the colony. The buildings are ram- shackle affairs, made of old pieces of wood, scrap tin and steel and other junk. The place is over-run with rats, and each spring the squatters have been forced to flee when the waters of the Naugatuck river rose over their banks. In the 1886 floods several of the squat ters were marooned by the floods and rescued by firemen.
 Hollywood has been the scene of many stabbing affrays and fights of every description. Several per- sons have been seriously injured in brawls there. The eyesight of sev- eral of the squatters was seriously impaired two years ago from the drinking of home made smoke, |" manufactured from wood alcohol.
 Police hold that with the depres- sion over there is no need for the men to make their home at the yil- lage. Several of them, they say, are already working, and most of the others can secure jobs. Deputy Supt. Carson said 1t had been learned that one of the squatters had been pay ing another, and stronger squatter, rent of $1 week for a shack that neither of them owned.
 Police said they would probably give the squatters another day to remove such of their belongings as are worth moving. Then the village will be destroyed.

Wilby Figures Also To Mount; Crosby To
 Show Small Decline
Only Approximate Figures Now Available Actual Totals Will Be Out After Oct. l-LeavenwOrtl
 Growth Means Spread of Institution

prediction of the Democrat, made last May, that more rooms at Crosby will have to be made available for Leavenworth students. Last year, with registration of some HOO students the conditions were 50 crowded that two of the classes were held in the Crosby building. And last year'stotal was less than a 100 increase over the previous yearI
 The approximate figures for 1oS7- 38 show that no less than 1869 pupils have. applied for entrance. This increase of about 25O over last year will create quite a situation fl, regard to taking care of the pupils. It is probable that the matter will be taken up at the next board of education session.
 Crosby high school, which has been losing students, again shows a drop of approximately fifty. In Sep- tember, 1886 the total was 1,491 and at the present time only 1,450 stu dents have registered. The Wilby totals are: 1886, 1,7O4; 1887, 1870. Nc figures could be procured at Sacred Heart High school, which usually has about 125.
 Members of the board of educa- tion staff had no exact figures in regard to Waterbury's 1937-38 ag- gregate high school freshman total but 1t was stated that it is going to be slightly smaller this year. The increase at Waterbury Catholic High is partially responsible for this decrease and 1t is also true that it may be the evidence of the first signs of the declining birth rate.

Compensation Agreements

Injured July 1e, 1886, while work ing on the estate of William H Kirkbride of Torrington, Charles B McCaskell was today granted com pensation award by Commissioner James M. Lynch, which entities him to total disability payments from July IS, 1887, to August 1e, 1887. Pre- vious voluntary payments had been made from July IS, 1886, to July l6, 1887. The award also orders that McCaskell shall 50 back to work on the estate and attempt such tasks as he is able. He will receive regular pay and partial disability payments under the terms of the latter order. McCaskell received injuries to both legs when an automobile pinned him to wall.
 Commissioner Lynch today dis missed the claim of John DePaoli against Ernest Booth and the Tor. rington Casting Go. The claimant brought his action on the basis of claim of hernia, but Commissioner Lynch finds no compensable claim
 The following agreements in which compensation will be paid weekly during the period of total disability were filed today and ap- proved at the ofiice of the compen- sation commissioner:
 Treadwell F. Weeks and Lawrence T. Weeks, Thomaston, finger injur. les, $i2.67 beginning July 19.

(Continued from Page D of the fame of his own prodigious golf game His golfing won him many friends in the movie colony, but 1t also attracted SO much atten- ton that his past life was exposed.
 Here Seven Years
 He had been here seven years, consorting with such persons as Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, Oliver Hardy and Guy Kibbee. They all came to his rescue when he was accused, and encouraged him for q month to op- pose extradition back to Jay, N Y.
 But he surrendered voluntarily last night and was consigned to three New York officers who had come and waited to get him. They boarded 8 Union Pacific train at Q o'clock.
 A hundred persons were at the station to see Montague away. The officers had omitted handcuffs. Accompanied by his lawyer, Jerry Geisler, the dapper, 22o-pound ac. tors idol strode into Municipal Judge Leroy Dawson's court and waived hearing on 6 fugitive com. plaint. The matter of his extradi- ton was in the hands of Gov. Frank P. Merriam, who had been trying for two weeks to decide 1t, while Montague's friends in the movie colony swamped him with letters asking mercy.
 Fight for Vindication
 Geisler said his client was ready to return at once to New York and fight for vindication. He was acc cused of complicity in @ $7oo road house robbery in 1880. 0eisler said that Montague always had wanted to return, but his friends had dis- suaded him.
 For years, Montague was e mys- terious parsonage in Hollywood. He summed publicity.
 It was said that Montague would play for a side bet, but he would never appear in public or enter the usual competition. He would not discuss his past life and never would he pose for a picture.
 Finally the Essex County, N. r., prosecutor saw Montague's picture in @ magazine. It was a rare snap shot, one that Montague had tried so hard to avoid.
