DIVIDENDS FOR
 HOLIDAY GIFTS
Waterbury National Bank
 Pays Depositors of Fora mer Local Bank

The Waterbury National Bank has approximately $9,c00 which it would very much like to get rid of before closing time at 3 o'clock this after noon.
 No, 1t isn't a charity fund, 1t rep- resentS the remainder of 8 dividend of 10 per cent declared recently by the defunct Sandits & Traurig com pany. Until noon today $5,1O0 had been paid to the depositors who called. The dividend represented a cash total of slightly more than $14,0OO.
 The superior court granted per- mission for payment of the dividend, upon application of the Waterbury National Bank, receiver. Chase Kim ball, trust officer of the Waterbury National Bank, said today that the applications for dividends by de- positors is somewhat faster ill this instance than it has been upon pre- viouS occasions. Payment of this dividend will bring the total pay ments to 45 per cent of original de- poSitS.
 Checks were, first distributed or Wednesday, but the larger number were passed out yestreday, and fur ther calls were expected today. The funds will be handy for Christ mas shopping. The larger number of dividends to be paid are only small amounts. according to MT Kimball. and this is undoubtedly re- sponsible for the delay.

Fewer Liquor, Beer Permits
 Favored Here
Local Dealers Asked to Join Movement to Re.
 strict Issuance

Support of Waterbury liquor dealers is being sought by the Connecticut Liquor Dealers Association in that organizations move to re- duce the number of liquor and beer permittees in the state. The association plans to present before the 1889 General Assembly a bill dras- tically limiting the number of establishments which can sell liquor and beer by the drink or package.
 The credit committee of the asso- ciation, which has been studying the problem for several months, be- lieves that the present situation can be improved only by restricting the number of permits which are issued by the state. Permits have increased sharply in number in 1897, according to the committee, and ruinous com- petition has resulted.
 In several cities and towns of the state, ordinances restricting the number of permittees in the com- nunity have been discussed. But only state law, the association feels, will bring any lasting benefits.
 The association has sought to have the state liquor control commission issue 8 ruling limiting the number of permits, but that body has de- clared it has no such powers under the law. The encouragement has informed the association that per- mits can be limited in number only by legislation.

| diately after Thanksgiving at which time 5000 letters were sent to vari- ouS families in the city. Directors of the sale have thus far had what is considered to be excellent re- sponse since 3,287 of these letters have been acknowledged by com- pleted sales. It was said that 1,232 of the letters were returned with out funds enclosed.
 Although the drive is still $1,000 short of the set quota it is believed that of the 4,000 letters remaining unheard from, many of these will find their way to the headquarters of the league sometime next week or during the week following. It was pointed out that the league has already had 692 new subscribers for the present year which is said to be by far the greatest number real- ized since the sales were begun in Waterbury.

S-S RECORDS HELD
 AS CONFIDENTIAL
Government Refuses to Divulge Information in
 Relief, Criminal Cases
Special to The Democrat

Washington, D. O., December 24 - The Social Security Board today informed Senator Lonergan Demo- crat), Connecticut, that under it's pledge to keep its records confi- dential, it cannot divulge informa- tion to assist in the investigation of relief and criminal cases.
 Requests for such information had been presented, Senator Loner- gan said, by various taxpayers as- sociations who believe that 1t is in the public interest to investigate relief cases to determine eligibility, and also to assist in criminal prose- cutions by making Social Security records available.
 Senator Lonergan was told by the board that the nature of the infor- nation in its possession would not be especially helpful to those desir- ing it. Moreover, the board has ob- tained this information voluntarily and readily because of its pledge to employers and employees to keep 1t confidential. The report said that the board is confident that If 1t changed its policy there would be a charge of bad faith and consequent reluctance on the part of employers and workers in the future to furnish information necessary for the ad- ministration of the act"

JUST who shall possess the du-

termined at least temporarily tonight
at Turner's Arena when George Kov-
erly and Laverne Baxter squirm in q

It was the unorthodox tactics Of
Koverly which triumphed over the
equally evil ways of Baxter in their
last argument and local graphing
fans loved it 50 much Promoter Joe
Turner has been forced to risk the
safety OF his patrons for the lure of
a capacity crowd.
AT that, Turner plans enlarging his
caullf1oWer crucible by ripping out a
wall, and perhaps this is an inexpen-
sive way of accomplishing that end.
Even if they don't remove the wall,
however, it's a cinch the referee s
shirt Will be removed some time dur
ing the proceedings.
Koverly Acts First.
X OVERLY, it will be remembered,
planted a right to Baxter's Jaw
while the boys were receiving what
ever instructions they absorb from

seemed to take quite bit of villainy
out OF the towering twister, since La
verne wasn't his usual usurping self
after that.
Baxter since has disgraced himself
In fine fashion, however, and again
is ready for the role of villainy. Both
have played an important part in
booming the rassling racket here.
The preliminary card also is stocked
with villains, the foremost of these
probably being Joe Cox, Kansas Citys
