The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-09

But the votes for the lesser Of
fees on the state ticket showed
about an equal pace of the Socialist
candidates and the Republican with
the candidates polling around TO-
00J votes against ths Democratic
candidates $4,000 plus.
Factor In Socialist Vote
Question as to effect of various
charges against leaders of both ma
jor parties in the grand jury ac-
tions at Waterbury and Bridgeport
was raised today and, for the most
part, was given place as factor
in the Socialist vote showing. Some
leaders remarked that the voters
had "lost confidence" in the ma
jor parties; but pointed out that
the Socialist ticket head, McLevy,
had carried such Republican strong
holds as WatertoWn, Prospect and
Bristol, where no grand jury reac-
ton would be found.
Although Prospect, Bethany and
several towns in this section fur
nished grand jurors for the Water
bury investigation, these places gave
McLevy votes comparable with Bald
wins and some of them cut the
last election margin of Governor
Gross about in half. McLevy polled
20 votes more than Baldwin in VOL
colt.
Evidence of Cutting
So far as the mechanics of the
election yesterday were concerned,
evidence of the cutting which gave
McLevy his huge total appeared
early in the day. In at least two
districts, women who wanted to
split" for the Socialist party at
tempted to pull down buttons be-
fore moving party levers and Gus
todian Harry Leary was called to
repair the damage.
Although rainy weather has been
described as Democratic weather."
yesterdays drizzel turned out to be
the makings of a fast track for the
Socialists, in terms of other years.
The remarkable showing of McLevy
after his polling of 469 votes here
in 1886, slightly more than 300 four
years ago, had leaders of the ma
jor parties back on their heels, in
some instances today.
McLevy's Name Everywhere
In the state today it was NC
Levy, McLevy, McLevy," the Bridge
port roofer who once polled 38,438
votes for the governorship, yester-
day polled an estimated more than
100000. In Bridgeport, McLevy poll
ed more than $4,000 votes against
$4,000 for Governor Cross, 5000 for
another native son, Baldwin.
Waterbury was outstanding in the
state, however, where support of its
local Democratic candidates was
concerned, and Democratic leaders
pointed to this fact while express
ing amazement over the McLevy
showing. The leaders were agreed
that apparently both major party
organizations had brought numbers
of voters to the polls yesterday who
pressed buttons as they pleased, re-
CARELESS of utilization.

minor groups. There was almost a
band wagon movement yesterday
which halted with considerable
emphasis the trend toward Democ-
ratio and allied movements which
made it's spectacular appearance in
the presidential election of 1882.
New Deal Had Triumphs
But the New Deal had bona fide
triurnphs in California and New
York.
Republicans came back with a
bang in pivotal states and scatter
ing of lesser political areas. They
won all or part of the senatorial and
gubernatorial prizes yesterday in:
Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Kan
sas, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minnesota,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin
and wyoming where Democrats or
minor parties now hold the offices
from previous elections. Return OF
those 16 states wholly or in part to
the Republican fold re-establishes
the. COP. as a political organiza-
ton buttressed on a national scale
House gains, less conclusive as tc
state sentiment, covered an even
wider national field with 5 states
Or more reporting election of Re-
publicans to currently Democratic
seats or Republican candidates in
the lead.
A normal off-year house turn
over would be around SO seats. In
the Senate and among the governors
it had been expected to be consider
ably less than complete and incom-
plete returns now indicate it will be.

Chief Justice Names
Judge Ernest Inglis

Judge Simpson, under normal cir
cumStances would preside here until
the start of the Christmas recess in
December. Judge Frank p. McEvoy
was scheduled to take over the local
bench commencing January 10, 1899.
Some special arrangements will be
necessary in the event that regular
sessions of superior court, criminal
and civil, are to be conducted here
during the lengthy continuance of
the conspiracy trial
1t has been generally estimated
that the trial will last for at least
three months, inasmuch as three
weeks might be consumed in the
single task of polling the Jury. Pos
sibility that the trial will be In SeS-
sion five days week, Monday
through Friday, has been mentioned.
Unless some further dilatory pre-
lirninarieS arise, there is possibility
that the trial will be set down for
a date prior to December |. The
majority of defense counsel have ex-
pressed a desire for early trial, and
Judge Simpson, who will set the
date, has publicly expressed the
opinion that the trials should be
held speedily.
The mandamus action filed by
Peck and WaterhouSe in an at
tempt to gain inspection of the
minutes is not expected to delay the
trial, due to the fact that it is an
action separated from the trial

senate by a plurality of more than
475,000 over John Lord O'Brian OF
Buffalo, his Republican opponent.
Rep. James M. Mead, endorsed by
the President for the senate seat
made vacant by the death of Royal
s. Copeland also won an everwhelm-
ing victory with a plurality similar
in size to Wagner's.
The returns indicated that the So
year old Dewey's personality and his
prestige as prosecutor of racketeers
enabled him to outrun by far the
rest of the Republican statewide
ticket.
But in the state legislative and
congressional races the Republicans
showed to better advantage. They
gained full control of the New York
legislature for the first time since
1882 and gained two seats in the
House at Washington.
One of the Democratic congress
men, defeated, however, was Rep
John j. O'Connor of New York city
who sought reelection as Republic
can and as a foe of the New Deal
He lost to James H. Fay, New Deal
Democrat who defeated him in the
primary.
Lehman's reelection, narrow as his
margin was, constituted victory
for President Roosevelt, who thrust
the New Deal into the state cam
paign by personally endorsing the
governor and the entire Democratic
slate.
Republicans, however, were jubi-
liant over the i11roads made into the
normally heavy Democratic guber-
material plurality.

trial Of such proportion.
Judge Simpson said today that HI
had been asked by Judge Inglis t.
preside at the hearing on Mr.. Al
corn's motion for trial date. Chiei
Justice Maltbie said that he hao
left the decision as to who would
preside at tomorrow's hearing to
the two superior court judges in
volved.
Judge Inglis 10 Take Over
Under such circumstances, it will
be Judge Simpson who will set the
trial date, and Judge Inglis will take
over Immediately upon the arrival
Of the date set.
1t was Judge Inglis who appoint
ed Special Prosecutor Alcorn to take
over the municipal investigation
which led to the impaneling Of the
grand jury.
He Selected Grand Jury
The same Judge Inglis selected
the grand jury from list supplied
by Mr.. Alcorn, and charged them
with their duties and rights, before
they started the investigation which
led to the arrest of Mayor Hayes
and 25 others on conspiracy charges
Practically all court procedure
connected with the conspiracy cases
has been completed with Judge
Inglis presiding. Until August he
held court here continuously on
matters pertaining exclusively to the
grand jury trial,
He and Judge Simpson are the
only two superior court judges who
have had any participation in rul-
ings ON Waterbury angles of the
grand irlry's charges.
First Named in February
Judge Inglis was first appointed
to take part in the court angles of
the Waterbury municipal investiga-
ton on February 4. 1t was he who
issued the bench warrant for the
arrest of Mayor Hayes and the other
&c named in the Waterbury con-
spiracy charges. His refusal to open
the grand jury minutes for inspec-
ton by the defendants still stands
despite an appeal to the supreme
court of errors.
Attempt to See Minutes
A new attempt by defense coun-
sci to obtain permission to view the
jury's minutes was started yester-
day when Daniel j. Leary obtained
issuance of a mandamuS against
Foreman Carl Lundgren of the
grand jury, ordering him to show
cause why the minutes should not
be inspected.
Judge Simpson granted the man
damus and ordered a hearing Tues
day morning at 10 o'clock. Deputy
Sheriff Albert Francis of this city
served the papers on Lundgren at
Ansonia last night. ordering his APP
pearance here at that time.
Alcorn Has No Fears
Special Prosecutor Alcorn said
today that he did not think there
was anything to" the mandamus
action, and refused to be worried
by it," So little does he consider
its possibilities that he was not GER
tain today whether or not he would
bother to appear Tuesday for the
hearing. Il think as a matter of
foFmality I might appear" he said.
Foreman Lundgren, himself an
attorney from Ansonia, said that in
event Mr.. Alcorn did not appear he
would represent himself.

"That's the last one,' he probably
said to himself.
He probably thought, too, about
the fire helmet, the OK yoke, and
the sheriff's badge which adorned
the walls of his chambers.

Land Grant Kosciuszko's
Reward for Aiding u. s

Like all other Revolutionary Of
hcers, Thaddeus Kosciusko, the
Polish patriot who aided the United
States, received a land grant from
congress. But he left the United
States soon after the Revolution
and did not file a claim for his
lands until he returned in 1897. He
then selected 500 acres, a colonePs
share, from a map.
Most Of the grants had been par
eeled out by that time, so he was
obliged to take tract on the ex-
treme westerly edge of the bounty
lands. This tract, according to John
Howard Galbraith, in the defunct
Ohio Magazine for November, 1907,
was few miles north Of Columbus,
Ohio, on the east bank of the Scioto
river, in Perry township, Franklin
county, Immediately south of the
Delaware county line.
Kosciuszko left the United States
again in May, 1893, and before leav-
ing, made will leaving his Amer
lean property to be disposed of by
Thomas Jefferson, the money to
be used in purchasing the freedom
Of negro slaves, and in their educa-

Caterpillar, Fly, Wasps
Honored With Memorials

Even the humble caterpillar can
boast a monument which a king
might envy. for the "CactoblastiS
Memorial Hall" at Boonarga,
Queensland, was erected to the
memory of the caterpillar which de-
stroys the prickly pear, according
to a writer in London Answers Mag
azine.
The most elaborate case of insect
commemoration on record was the
funeral staged by the Roman poet,
Virgil, for his pet househy.
The cost Of interment was 1000
pounds. and the ceremony took
place from Virgirs town house in
Rome. The chief mourners were
friends Of Octavian, afterwards the
Emperor Augustus, and a lengthy
funeral Grafton was delivered by
Maecenas before the hy's golden cof-
fin.
Making a pet Of a pest is one
thing, and putting up a memorial to
a pest, as such, is quite another.
Yet this, too. has been done-in
Westmorland.
The hamlet of Week suffered q
severe plague Of wasps in 184l, and
a memorial stone to mark the occa-
sion was erected nearby on the
moor. Since then, an annual pro-
cession has been made to the stone,
where a brief service Is held.
Afterwards, a wholesale attack is
made on all the wasp nests in the
district.
A pet goat belonging to a Slav
was buried in a rich coffin covered
with flowers. Candles were burned
round the draped bier, and the body
was carried in solemn procession.
In the same month, a Pekingese
dog was buried in a costly marble
vault in Denver City, U. S. A., after
