COMPENSATION AWARD LARGE
Brewery, Insurer Cited as Liable in Unusual Find-
 ing Here

Compensation which may aggre- gate $5,729 in weekly payments of $11 each, in addition to hospital and medical expenses, is provided in an unusual finding issued today by Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch in favor of Robert John Wilson of Main street, Oakville, Conn. The award provides that the compensation shall be paid by the Largay Brewing Company, Inc, and its insurer, the Maryland Casualty Company of Hartford.
 Wilson was injured while en- ployed by Gerard Patzold, head of the Connecticut Service Company, to construct large sign for the ad- vertising department of the Largay company. The award is not made against Patzold because he did not regularly employ five men and therefore is not within the con- pensation statutes. The case will be appealed to the superior court by the respondents insurance company
 Commissioner Lynch, in ruling tiiuo Aui6dy 10 ICopOiiolUlC, HlFOhCs the following section of the com- pensation act: When any principa employer shall procure any work tt be done, wholly or in part for him by contractor, or through him by a sub-contractor, and the work SC procured to be done shall be part or process in the trade or business of such principal employer, and shall be performed in, on or about premises under his control, then such principal employer shall be liable to pay all compensation un- der this chapter to the same extent as If the work were done without the intervention of such contractor or sub b-contractor.

FALSE ARREST IS
 CHARGED IN SUIT
Motorist Claims "Humilia- tion";; N. Main St. Acci-
 dent Cause of Action

False arrest is charged in $5 1000 suit brought in superior court today against Motor Patrolman Vincent Begg by Rosario Ciaccio, Jr., p, of 5l Long Hill road. The suit, return able to court in September, alleges that the policeman arrested Ciac- cio unjustly and without reason.
 Ciaccio, who was given a dis charge in traffic court Monday when arraignled on a charge of failure to give the proper signal. claims that as a result of being arrested and presented in court, he was greatly humiliated", was caused great mental distress" and was obliged to incur heavy expense.
 The writ, prepared by Attorney Joseph c. Guilfoile, says that on June 28, Ciaccio, while driving up North Main street, halted to allow a car to leave a parking space at the curb, As he did so, 1t Is claimed his car was struck by an automo- bile driven by Albert Rice.
 Motor Patrolman Begg says, the writ, talked with Rice and then brought Ciaccio to headquarters, where he placed him under arrest and notified him to appear in traf- fic court. Ciaccio claims he was held at the police station for half-hour.
 In city court, says the writ, Rice's own testimony showed that he had sufficient time and sufficient room to stop before hitting Ciaccio's car.
 Also brought in superior court to- day was a $l ,000 damage suit by Ciaccio against Rice. He claims he was shaken up and injured when his car was struck by Rice's machine.
 It Is claimed in the writ filed in the suit that Motor Patrolman Begg failed to question two witnesses who were at the scene and who would have explained the accident.
 Ciaccio, through his counsel, claims that his arrest and the at tendant publicity have damaged his reputation.

 Portion Is Available
 A portion of the complete jury list, from which the jury to try the issues of the sensational case will be selected, was also made available today. Ninety-six from Waterbury and lesser numbers from surrounding towns of the county are included.
 Highly interesting with regard to the three Bethany jurors is the fact that Tyler D. Davidson, a member of the grand jury, is also & member of the board of select men of Bethany. With William L. Wooding and Ralph R. Downs, also selectmen, he named himself. MT Doolittle and MT. Tomlinson to the jury list from which the selections were made by the New Haven County jury commission.
 Another interesting fact is that Roland H. Camp, one of the six members of the Citizens Govern ment Association whose names are affixed to the complaint in the $60),0o0 civil action against former Controller Daniel J. Learr, one of the defendants, was on the original sclectiye list rendered the jury commission by the Waterbury al- dermen. He was not nar1ed to the panel by the commission, however.
 Unlikely To Be Called
 Il Is hardly logical to speculate that the four members of the grand jury who are on the ordin- ary jury panel could possibly be called for jury duty in the trials of those they accused of conspi- racy in their report of May l9. Un- der no circumstances, it Is believed would such condition be allowed to exist.
 It is likewise unlikely that any of the ninety-six Waterburians on the jury panel will be called to serve on the all-important group

MASS. WANTS TO
 PROBE RAILROAD
Bill Creating Special Board Nears Approval; Hincks
 Ruling to Be Appealed

Boston July 16-(UP)-A bill to create special commission to in- vestigate the New Haven railroad today seemed headed for approval of the Massachusetts legislature.
 The senate advanced the bill by . 25-to-l4 roll call vote this morning after once rejecting 1t 2l-to-l9 but then reconsidering. The house ale ready had approved the inquiry and $5, ,O00 for its cost.
 Despite the drive for final ad- journment, the bill was admitted when the legislature was informed yesterday that Federal Judge Carroll c. Hincks at New Haven. Conn, had refused to grant Massachusetts re- quest for a stay of execution in his order authorizing the New Haven railroad to abandon 88 stations on its Old Colony branch serving lower Cape Cod P
 The abandonments go into effect tomorrow.
 District Attorney Paul A. Deyer announced he would appeal from Judge Hincks' ruling before the fcd- eral circuit court of appeals and that fin the event that court sustains Judge Hincks. will carry the case to the U s. supreme court"
 Urging creation of the seven man inquiry commission, Senate Presi- dent Wragg said something should be done when a federal judge in an- other state rules over the local au- thorities in this state.'
 Meantime, the state public utili- ties commission was to resume It's hearings into the abandonment re- quests Monday

CHINESE CLAIM
 MORE VICTORIES
Report Jap Navy Motor Boats Sunk-Warship
 Set on Fire

Shanghai, July l6. (UP)--New Chinese heavy artillery sank two Japanese navy motor boats and set fire to a warship of Hukow, an of ficial Chinese communique asserted today
 It was asserted that additional artillery, and fleet of fast motor torpedo boats, had arrived at Kiu- kiant, where the Japanese were trying to drive their way up to Han koW, the provisional capital
 Japanese admitted that they were meeting stiff resistance but asserted that they expected soon to trap a large force of Chinese and proceed up the Yangtze.
 Chinese mobile units, formed to harass Japanese in guerrilla war fare, were reported active in south western Shantung province, in southern Hopeh province and in southern Kiuangsu province, accord ing to Chinese communiques, mobile units recaptured Tuckinshien, in I1Opcl IioEiiiCC.
 Peace talk continued here. Semi official sources said that Great Bri- tain, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland, under British leader ship, were sounding out both Jap anese and Chinese as to basis for peace proposals, planning to offer them in September. This was based on the assumption that despite the present stout Chinese resistance, the Japanese would have captured Han kow by then.
 There seemed some doubt that the Chinese would accept any pro posal which the would-be mediators might advance. Consular sources estimated that the Chinese had suf- ficient supplies and financial re- sources to continue the war for at least another year, particularly If they stopped payments on foreign debts.
 Japanese continued their mass airplane raids on Canton "Psycho- logical" attacks were made on the city last night. Planes kept droning over the city so that townspeople could hear them, but only two bombs were dropped, both by one plane.

NATIONAL GUARD
 CONTROLS PRISON
Disorders at Arizona In= StitutiOn Cause GOver-
 nor to Take Action

Florence, Ariz., July l6-(UP)- National guardsmen took command of the state prison today to halt an unparalleled series of escapes resulting from crowded conditions and a lack of funds with which to employ an adequate number of guards.
 A company of infantry, equipped with machine guns, rifles, and gas bombs, arrived. It was indicated that 1t would immediately build a stockade near the prison in which to herd convicts who had been permitted to sleep outside the walls because there wasn't enough room for them inside.
 Twenty convicts had escaped in the last six weeks; five escaped Thursday. Tn placing the prison under martial law, Gov. R. c. Stan ford said that "escape" was not the word with which to describe the method of departing of the mis- sing convicts. Because most of the guarde were out looking for con- victs who had escaped" before they had simply walked away.
 The commanding officer of the regiment was placed in charge of the prison by the governors de- cree. superceding Warden John O Eager who had informed the gover- nor that there was "a situation which I can no longer control"
 The prison has a population ot 739, but only 16 guards. Eager said its physical confines and equip ment were adequate for less than half It's number of inmates. For weeks 200 trusties-men with good records and men serving short terms--have been sleeping un- guarded outside the walls.
 Pagers appeal to the governor said that chaos had ruled at the prison after recent escapes.
 During some of the recent dis orders." he reported, "all the guards were out chasing convicts."
 He did not reveal the nature of the disorders.
