 talk about the staying, and the dis trict attorney, H. B. Kinsolving, had assured them that they need not talk about the staying. It was be- lieved, however, that they would plead self defense, alleging that Denhardt had made threatening gesture toward his hip pocket when they met him on the street here Monday night, indicating that he was about to draw pistol.
 Deahardt was slain on the eve of his second trial on charge of hav- ing murdered Mrs. Taylor, his fiance He was 61, she was 40, and her fam fly had objected to their marriage plans. She was found shot to death on a road side last November. He said she had shot herself; the state produced circumstantial evidence in an attempt to prove that he shot her. The first jury disagreed.
 The brothers all are in their 40s, settled, respected citizens. They met Denhardt on the street, and, before some 10 witnesses, two of them pro- duced pistols and opened fire. Dem hardt died instantly, a bullet through his heart. DOC" and Roy Carr sur rendered pistols. Jack was not armed

Eleven Men, All Depart.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 22.-(UP). '-GoY. Wilbur |. Cross win admin ister the remainder of his fourth term with the assistance of a cabi- net, of Il men which will "advise and confer" with him on matters of state interest.
 The cabinet, comprised of state department heads, will meet at least four times year, and more often If the governor sees it to issue a call. Its creation was authorized by the 1887 General Assembly.
 The governor named these men:
 Those Appointed
 Education Commissioner Ernest w. ,Butterf1eld, Motor Vehicles Com sioner Michael A. Connor, Tax Com missioner William H. Hackett, Finance Commissioner Edward F. Hall, Public Works Commissioner Robert A. Hurley, Agriculture Com missioner Olcott F. King, Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald, Health Commissioner Dr. Stanley H. Osborn, Bank Commissioner Walter Perry, Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone and Public Welfare Com missioner Frederic c. Walcott.
 No Departments Merged
 When the act creating the cabi- net was passed, the governor said: "1t was expected that certain de- partrnentS would be merged.
 This was not done. As a result, the governor has found 1t difficult to select only II of the commissioners as they now exist. After considering the matter very carefully, he has decided to appoint the commission CTS, on the understanding that he will find it necessary at times to call into conference other commission CTS and sometimes heads of the various state institutions"

 mount to party lines," said ,M-. Rowland. He continued: Any fair-minded Republican will see the advantage of this plan"
 An Obvious Slight
 This last remark, the Independ- ent Democrats feel, was an obvious slight to their party, and meant that MT. Rowland felt it necessary to apologize to old Republicans for the fact that the high command of the local COP. had found 1t nec- essary to join with another group in this years city election.
 Independents All Bosses
 It has been apparent 10 observers for several weeks that the Inde- pendents are directing the Fusion party campaign and that Republi- cans have been relegated to the background. Early opposition of Re- publicans to what they termed e "sell-out" ticket has been augmented by this fact.
 The question of patronages has also caused great dissension in the Fusion ranks. Sen. Culhane, nom. inally Democrat, would be in po- sition to extend favors to his friends if he should be elected. This has Republican leaders fearing that the G. O. F. workers may be left out in the cold" when 1t comes time to give out jobs.
 Added to this Is the fact that in being SO generous with their job promises, the Fusionists have in q number of cases pledged the same post to two or more individuals. This has been responsible for a great deal of pickering and dissension.

election. The motion to quasi, mandamus proceedings of the merit plant counsel was denied by Judge Dickenson Tuesday.
 Reports that more than 1000 oi the names on the petition said Lc have 5000 signers are Implications has been current among counsel in- terested in the case. Although to full fill the 15 per cent requirements oi the city charter, about 5000 name! are necessary, the question now arises whether the fact of 8 number of Implications might not throw reasonable doubt on the signatures of all who subscribed to the peti- ton.
 Check Some of Them r.
 But the city counsel has mol brought this issue before the court The corporation counsel has agreed to check as many of the names as possible within the given time and file his answer to the alternative writ of mandamus Monday, as stip- ulated by the court.
 Attorney Gager urged the court to bring the matter to trial on the writ of mandamus Tuesday. He also urged that the corporation cunsel make his plea at the proceed ings today so that the merit system counsel would have time to get the matter onto the machines.
 Only One Day
 Attorney Smedley told the court that he had only one day in which to file a request for a declaratory Judgment which would become ef- fective in time to assure placement of the proposal on the voting ma chimes, if the judgment were granted He also remarked that only fifteen days from the time the motion tc quash the mandamus was denied September 20, remained for merit system counsel to file answer.
 Validity of Petition
 It was the contention of the city's counsel at the earlier proceedings that the merit system counsel should have sought declaratory Judgment on the validity of their petition last May before the matter was brought to petition form, resulting in 1t consideration and defeat on grounds of illegality by the board of alder men. Thus, the supreme cotlr might have decided the matter anc obviated the present proceedings now become an important issue ir the current political campaign.
 Chairman Upson In Court
 J. Warren Upson, Republican town chairman, was in court today but was not heard in his capacit. as counsed for the Republican al dermen who represented tht minority vote in the Board of Al dermen's decision over legality O. the proposed petition. Judge Die kenson has given an opinion 1T denying the motion to quash thu mandamus to the effect that thu aldermen were not within their dis cretionar ypower in deciding on tht legality of the proposition by thu merit group, .,
 The merit system counsel now must await checking of names or the petition and, thereafter, an swer to the alternative writ on tht petition and, thereafter, answer tt the alternative writ of mandamu' by the city's counsel with the pros pect of trial on this procedure some time Monday.

 Although the states of Wheeler and O'Mahoney will see much of the president on this trip, the Roosevelt special will speed through Nebraska at night. Senator Edward R. Burke D., Nebraska, was No. 3 in the high command of Democrats who joined to prevent enactment of the judic- iary bill.
 It appeared that the president would defer until his return any ac- ton in connection with problems arising from appointment of Asso- ciate Justice Black. Reports that MT. Black by telephone before the latter sailed from Southampton, England, were denied by sources close to the president.

opened. Through last night and through today until 4 p. mi. the, Jap aneSe and Chinese attacked and counter attacked in complete disre- gard of life, and they stopped only because they were exhausted. Re- ports from the front lines said that the fields on which grain was ripen- ing 8 few weeks ago, now black in ruin, were strewn with the bodies of men and that of dead and wounded, caught in the thickly strung barbed wire entanglements, were shot to ShredS.
 Eight Times RepuIsed
 Eight times, at one point, Japanese infantry attacked ill face of direct machine gun fire, marching in or dered waves. As one wave wilted, another advanced. The Chinese, unable to contain themselves, went over the top themselves and killed those who got through the barbed wire.
 Fears for Nanking-at least from today's bombings-were dissipated when communications were restored and 1t was ascertained that damage was comparatively slight. A Japa- nese spokesman asserted that four Chinese planes were shot down in the Nanking raids, whereas Chinese asserted that four Japanese planes were downed. The spokesman as- serted that much damage was done.
 Biggest Aerial Drive
 The spokesman went on to de- scribe -bombings in what he, said was the biggest aerial drive of the war -the two raids on Nanking; raids on Canton; bombing of three Chi nese warships in the Yangtze mi- way between Shanghai and Man. king; bombing of the Kiangyin forts on the Yangtze.
 Others he said, would be forth coming on Nanking-probably daily "unitl we have attained our ob- jective, the end of hostilities." '
 He said again that though the warnings to foreigners and non -com- batants held good that the Japa- nese would seek military objectives and that the residence of General issimo Chiang Kai-shek, strong man of the government was not now considered military objective.
 The Domei agency said that in the third raid of the day on Ranking, during the afternoon, Japanese planes concentrated on Hsiakuan, a congested area between the city wall and the Yangtze river.
 The bombs destroyed military trains concentrated at the Hsiakuan station of the Shanghai Nanking railway, setting them afire.

 She has lost 15 pounds, looks as many years younger, and feels bet ter. she says, than ever before.
 T even like my corsets. They're not too tight and they feel-well they feel just like somebody was holding me closet"
 She had just driven onto the sound stage at Major studios in the front seat of 1900 model automo- bile, which chugged to halt, with Charles Butterworth at the wheel, in front of New York department store set.
 Playing Bad Girl Part
 Mae was playing the part of a bad girl with a good heart, a singer at Trigger Mikes saloon, who not only could, but did sell the Brook lyn Bridge to Yokel, and who finally fell in love with the hand some detective who was pledged to drive her out of New York.
 It is a typical Mae West picture, with some variations, which she hopes will get by the censors.
 Every time I think up 8 good line. they cut 1t out because they somehow think it has a meaning all its own, when I speak it." she said. "Only few weeks ago pie ture was released in which trained nurse told a patient to take off his clothes. He did (nearly) while she stood there and watched him. Well, that was fine, when she did 1t.
 "But can you see me in a picture telling anybody to disrobe? Say, they wouldn't let me do that even if were playing the part of nurse, which I wouldn't be, anyway"
 Baby Blue Bungalow
 The days shooting having been completed, Miss West led the way to her pink and white and baby blue bungalow on the lot to finish the conversation. On the front stoop was an embroidered mat which said: ,.. ...,. %
 Come up and see me sometime !'
 Inside all was silk and satin, with white carpet and a pale blue bath and water colors of the hos. tess, mostly nude, on the walls. In one corner stood g white marble statue, carved by Gladys L. Bush, and showing every bit of Mss West, au naturel.
 In another corner was a white piano. In @ third were the trap drums, complete with tom tom, which she likes to pound whenever she can find a piano accompanist On the tables were fashion maga . zines printed at the turn of the century and showing the kind of clothes which Miss West Is begin- ming to make fashionable all over again.
 How She Earns Living
 "They are pretty clothes" she said, and wearable, but we weren't talking about clothes. We were talking about sex-and sex or gla- nor or whatever you want to call 1t, Is how I eafn my living. It's my particular style and it's becom- ing harder and harder to put across. Any other actress has 8 whole troupe of bright young writers thinking up things for her to say. l think up my own things to say, but havea troupe of experts who tell me l can't say 'em. don't see why every word I utter has to be con- sidered immoral by somebody.

 Launch Tests In April
 Present plans Of The Democrat and the Police Department is to launch thVl tests again in April of 1888. Plans are being made even now to make these tests even more comprehensive than those just fin ished. While 1t is presumed that by April all bicycles will satisfy in essential safety features, such as light, rear reflector, bell and brake, more attention will be paid at that time to light adjustment proper focusing, poor lights, tires cemented, inflated, and wheel adjustment.
 It is also planned next spring to award metal registration tags, which can be affixed to the front of the handlebars, to those successfully complying with all requirements. These will be numbered and to make 1t worth while, the low and preferred numbers will be given 70 these satisfying other conditions which will be stipulated next spring when the second testing period Is announced.
 Inspect Last Group
 Yesterday afternoon between 4 and 5:30 Captain William Duggan of the Police Accident Squad, Neil Maloney and William Kane of the Waterbury Democrat inspected the last group of boys and girls at Wa terville park. One of the few in- stances where a rejection for faulty brakes occurred almost upset the perfect record of this feature. The youngster, however, went home, re- paired the brakes, and returned in time to be recertified and win his Merit Card.
 S4hould any bicycle owner, whose inspection blank shows check af- ter light, horn, bell or klaXon, rear reflector, and brake, fail to receive a Certificate of Merit within the next two days, he is asked to get ln touch with the Bicycle Safety Cam paign manager at The Democrat.
 VIII OeL AetVeE
 Those who fail to receive the cards will get letter later this week, explaining why their bicycles were rejected. But as in practi- cally every case where some safety feature was lacking or deficient the owner promised to take care of the matter, it has been decided and recommended by officials in charge of the test to send everyone who had his or her bicycle tested a Ger tificate of Merit. So those who haven't up to now received any will get theirs later this week or the first of next week.
 The Waterbury Democrat extends cordial vote of thanks to the cycling public, mostly the boys ane girls, for its complete cooperation with its representatives and witl Captain Duggan and James Little of the Police Department in making tile safety campaign so successful and trusts that next spring all wil be back and accompanied by hun dreds of other enthusiastic bi' cyclists.
