Apple To Be Crowned
 As "King Of Crops"
Connecticut Anticipates More Than Two Million Bushels--New England at Least 9,230, ,O00 Bushels

An apple day keeps the doctor away"
 If that old saw Is true then New England doctors are due for some lean days, for the Department of Commerce reports that New Eng land will have record crop Of apples this year.
 Therell be so many apples thi5 year that New EnglanderS can have their fill of apple pie, apple sauce, sweet and not-so-mild cider, and apples in every shape and form. The popular song says. You like tomatoes and I like tomahtoes, you like po- tatoes and l lick potahtoes" but orchardists are saying, We like apples"
 Tn Connecticut the forecast is for 100000 bushels which is 550,000 bushels In excess of the harvest in l936 The five-year average in Con- necticut from l928-l93 was l,472,000 bushels.
 In New England a crop totalins 9,230000 bushels was predicted, nearly double thath of 1886, and exceeding the five-year average of 1928-l932 of 8,723,000 bushels.
 Good Set of Fruit
 Apple trees in New England blcs- somed well and a good set of fruit was secured quite generally. The present prospect is for the largest crop of apples in New England since 1883 or since the heavy losses of

GOOD MARKETS. IN NEW ENGLAND Five to Ten Percent More Than Last Year-Report
 For Week

Boston, July l6-(UP)--Whole. sale business in New England mar kets still is running 5 to 10 per cent above last year, Dun & Bradstreet. Inc, reported today. Manufactur- ing activity is experiencing . slight decline.
 Rate of new orders has fallen off. Shippers will use only 3.3 per cent more cars for the third quar- ter than in the corresponding 1886 period. The increase is found in shipments of iron and steel, na-. chinery and boilers. Traders pre- dict good increase in building ma terials, ore, and clay products.
 Vacation Trade Heavy
 Vacation trade is heavy, seaside resorts reporting an unusually large number of visitors. Retail business as Q whole, however, has declined with the hot weather.
 Electricity consumed in New Eng land last week registered a gain of i3.i per cent over last year, was 2.T per cent better than the previous week. The last two weeks of June saw freight car loadings increase ' to 8 per cent over last year.
 Labor difficulties are settled in the wool trade but the volume of business Is only moderate. Prices are firm. The goods market is dull with . brighter outlook for the fall. Worsted and woolen yarns show little activity.
 Turnover IS Cotton
 Turnover in the cotton goods market was good laJt week, and finished cottons are selling well. Prices are slightly firmer. Business is picking up in cotton yarns the market firmer and the outlook more promising. Rayon prices are firm in 6 quiet market.
 Shoe manufacturing is Irregular, some factories decreasing lWoduc- ton while others continue their output at high rate. The lecther market is firmer and trading a bit improved. Hides are experiencing more demand with firmer prices.

trees from extremely low etmpera- lures during the winter 1o33-l934 Good crops of Duchess, Wealthy and Mcintosh are in prospect, while Baldwins will be only a moderate crop this season. The large amount of rainy weather in June enabled the fruit to make good growth but was also favorable to the develop ment of scab particularly on sus- ceptible varieties.
 For the United States the apple crop on July is estimated at l94 million bushels which Is 65 per cent larger than the unusually small 1936 crop that totaled ii8 million bushels. This crop prospect is also 18 per cent greater than the i've year average production. Larger than average crops of apples are in- dicated for all sections of the coun- try except the western states. Cool rainy weather during blossom time interfered with pollination in irn- portant areas of western states and reduced the set of fruit to some ex- tent. Growing conditions during June for the country as a whole were favorable for the development of the apple crop.
 Double Crop Seen
 Present conditions in the eastern apple states outside New Eng land forecast a crop over double the very light crop harvested last year, and 37 per cent greater than the five-year average, 1928-2932. In the western box apple states of Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and California the expected crop is 10 per cent larger than the 1936 crop but 10 per cent below the five-year average. With an abundance of moisture during the month, fruit is reported as of good size but scab is becoming more prevalent in the im- portant apple areas of the east and middle west.

Boston, July i5-CUP)-Myrnf Lqy, Claudette Colbert and w. c Fields were named today by Statt Rep. Francis Xavier Coyne as among screen stars who fool the public by using fake names" Coyne, a Boston democrat, has filed a bill to compel all public performer" and screen actors, boxers and wrestlers-- to use their right names" or be barred from Massachusetts appear af1ces.
 Right names of the three stars named, he said, are. Myrna Loy-- Myrna Williams Hornblow. Clau- dette Colbert-Lily Chuchein. W. C. Fields-William Claude Dunkinfield Tn caustic criticism of HollywoodS & high-priced performers, Coyne said
 Stars Are Only Amateurs
 About 90 per cent of the so-ca!led stars are, in fact, amateurs. Through hlgh-powered exploitation, they have been built up to artificial heights and gullible public has been forced to swallow them"
 He predicted his bill would start nationwide action against fake name performers and that within the next six months" every state would have similar legislation.
 The Coyle bill, to come before Massachusetts legislators next Janu- ary, would impose penalties of a si,000 fine or six-months imprison- fnent for first offenders, a $2,00o fine or six months Imprisonment for sec- ond offenders and statewide ban on performances, either in person or on the screen, for third offenders.

GROUP ,
 BEING HUNTED
New York Police Want to Find Attorney, Eight
 Other Indicted Men

New York, July 15-(Up) An eight-state search was organized to- day for J. Richard (Dixie) Davis, attorney for the late Dutch Schultz, and eight others indicted with him as leaders of q $100, 900, ,000-a.year numbers game racket. Some believed that Davis, who has been missing from his usual haunts for several weeks, and at least one of his co-de- fendants, Abraham (Bo) Weinberg, might have met Schultz's fate. Schultz was killed by rivals in New ark, N. J., in lo35. Three men named in the same indictments, which were handed up to Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora yesterday, already are in police custody.
 13 Counts Charged
 Each indictment consisted of 13 counts, one charging conspiracy and the other l2 charging operation of Q lottery" on stated dates between Dec. g, 1882, and Jan. 1S, 1887. Con. viction on all counts would mean total sentences of 26 years-two each for the lottery, and one for con- spiracy.
 The indictments were the result of an intensive investigation of Davis activities by Special Prose- cutor Thomas D. Dewey and his staff. The grand jury charged that Davis and his co-defendants had dom- mated the policy racket by force, and that the operators had used an in- tricate scheme to fix" the numbers on which payoffs were made by con- trolling the rnutuel figures ct the racetracks. Numbers were based on mutuel tickets for various races. The indictments said that after schultz's death, Davis became one of the operating heads of the racket.

PRESIDENT FRY \ HAS CHALLENGE
Man WhOt Sat Down Him- self to End Strike,
 Queries Union Men

Detroit, July l5.--(UP).--Walter L. Fry, president of an auto seat cover company, who once ended Q sit-down strike of girl employees by sitting down himself, called upon the United Automobile Works union today to incorporate and prove its responsibility and ability 10 fulfill contracts" "Then," he said in a letter to union officials, T shall consider signing your submitted con- tract"
 Fry also distributed to his work CTS a pamphlet setting forth his reply to the unions demands and declaring tht due to these con- tinued harassments, managing this company is now non-protitable aggravation."
 Tt is for you to decide whether this plant shall run or whethe Tit shall shut down and the work go elsewhere" he said.
 Too Many Bosses
 He added that there were "too many bosses" trying to run the com pany and "too much loss of con- fidence in Fry and too much placed ln the union." The result, he said was constant interruption of work and loss of wages to workers and profit to the company. He suggested that all company operations be stopped until employees can or can- not prove their responsibility Then, he said, Ego to work, stop the incessant petty grabbing and thank God that you have a job.' Fry end ed a sit-down strike on February l9 by sitting down with the strikers and announcing that you'll have to get me of this strike before I'll get you of yours" S
 Union officials said they had not received his letter.

York, Massachusetts, Rhole Island and New Hampshire say: Every driver or operator of a carriage or other vehicle approaching the intersection of a street or public highway shall grant the right of way at such intersections to any carriage or vehicle approaching from his right"
 It Is to be noted in the statutes that because motorist Is ap- preaching from the right does not make him absolutely right. It Is incumbent upon operators in all streams of traffic to accelerate their vehicles at intersections and defer to others when the situation so de- mands.

Famous Carrie Welton Fountdin
 T0 Remain On North Main Street
City Reconsiders Decision to Move Monumental
 Landmark
Aslns the bells!
 Blow thc whlstlesl Stsrt thc celebration!

EOg the Carrie Welton fountain is saved. The heinously -hatched plan of some unsentimental persons to move the fountain on to the steEr or even to put 1t in some re- uUie spot for rom the location in Which l sgw Waterbury grow from a sunall sleepy town into a bustling cihg nay been goiled. And, twirling then EaSwAaaasS viciously, the vil- lains have gone into hiding, there no doubt to start some other ne- farious scheme.
 Statement Issued
 Supt. of Parks James j. Curtin told The Democrat this afternoon that the fountain will not be movCi. It will even, he said, be placed in working order again so that either thirsty human or horse can quatf cooling draughts of water tthe hu- mans from bubblers, the horses from the trough, MT, Curtin eXplained)
 "We got so many calls and let ters of protest against the moving of the fountain" said MT. Curtin, "that 1t would be out of the qucs- tion to move 1t, One man told mo, with tears in his eyes, that Water- bury wouldn't be Waterbury with out the Soldiers and Sailors monu- ment at one end of the Green and the Carrie Welton fountain at the other The fountain definitely will not be moved"
 Protest Voiced
 The roars of protest that arose when the talk of moving the foun- tain began could be heard In Beacon Falls, A large portion of the city's population was virtually up in arms over the idea. When someone said that the fountain wasn't used much now and that its removal would fa- cilitate traffic in Exchange Place, they said merely: "Piffle."
 This afternoon, as workmen dug up Exchange Place all around the fountain in preparation for paving, the horse atop the monument seem- ed to raise his head little higher. You could elmoSt hear him say: fIfrmpph Try to move me, would saeyp"
 And tonlght the city can sleep in pence, iie slilmber no longer dis ttssSe by fears that the monument might be removed The dastardly plan has failed ignominously and the fountain Is safe for posterity.
