Publication of Relief Items Demanded
Law Violation Seen
as Endange ring Fair
BACKER SUFFERED IN
JURY, FEARS LOSSES,
ATTORNEYS ALICE

An amended complaint in the
Redwood county fair gambling
case was filed last week by
George A. Barnes and Leon H.
Brown, attorneys, in behalf of L.
E. Backer, plaintiff.
Amendments to the original
complaint against the fair board,
charging that they permitted open
gambling on the fair grounds, in
clude arguments proposing to
show that, Mr.. Backer has suffer-
ed material damage and ire
parable injury and that the acts
of the board in allowing gambling
have been degrading and hum
iliating" to him.
The complaint as amended
charges that violations of gamb-
ling laws on the grounds with the
knowledge and consent of the fair
board, amount to continuous
public nuisance" during the oper-
alton of the fair.
1t argues that, because of it, the
fair directors are apt to lose their
appropriation from the county
commissioners and states further
that many persons refuse to at
tend the fair because of gambling.
Gambling may eventually des-
troy the purpose of the fair, the
complaint alleges, and the char
ter may be forfeited. The argu-
ment goes on that use of the
buildings may then be abated and
that such an occurrence would
destroy the value of Mr.. Backer's
stock in the Redwood County
Agricultural society.
As defendants, the fair board
has 20 days in which to file an
amended answer or stipulate
that their original answer stands.

SALESMAN WINS
 DISCHARGE HERE
New Haven Liquor Agent Found Not Guilty of
 Drunken Driving

Frederick A. Ziegler, 38, of 545 Townsend avenue, New Haven, a liquor salesman, won discharge on drunken driving count in city court today. Judge Edward Mascolo freed the accused, declaring that there was reasonable doubt in his mind as to ziegler's guilt.
 Ziegler, arrested several weeks ago, denied being under the influ- ence at the time of his arrest. He admitted having had several "shots" while making business calls about the city.
 Three civilians and two policemen testified at hearing two weeks ago that ziegler was definitely under the influence of liquor. He was rarest- ed after his car had struck two other automobiles on South Main street, near Liberty street.
 This morning Clifford Andrews, a passenger in one of the cars, said he believed the accident was caused by John Minor, driver of one of the cars. Nevertheless, he. said, Ziegler was under the influence.
 A nolle was given Joseph Toma- saitis, 29, of Al South Leonard street. charged with breach of the peace.

DR. LORD EXPLAINS
 PNEUMONIA TYPES
Forum Speaker Advises Prompt Service By
 Physician

Speedy Summoning of doctor when the first signs of pneumonia accur so that the various types of sera may be administered within short time was described as means of saving many lives of pneumonia patients last night by Dr. Frederick T. Lord, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical school Dr. Lord was speaker at the public health forum of the Waterbury Medical Association, the Waterbury Depart ment of Health and other agencies, held at the Medical Association building.
 Symptoms of pneumonia are a cold, accompanied by fever, sharp pains in the chest and signs of blood in the sputum. Dr. Lord remarked. Most types of the disease can be conquered if the specific type of the serum indicated is administered within 72 hours. Such treatments IS not as effective thereafter, he re- marked
 Dr. Lord explained that there are about 30 different types of pneu- monia, although types 1 and ? com prise the majority of cases, and types l, 3, 3, 5, and 8 comprise more than 80 per cent of the cases. Within recent years serums have been developed which, if admins tered in time, will break up most of these types of pneumonia. A separ- ate serum has to be used for each type. For some of the types, no ser um has yet been developed.
 In most Eastern states, particular ly in Massachusetts and New York, he said, laboratories have been es- tablished in various sections for the testing of sputum from suspected pneumonia cases. Such test is nec- essary in order to ascertain the type, because a particular serum has to be used for each type. This again, he said emphasizes the great i'm portance of calling a physician i'm mediately because only by that means can the disease be diagnosed, sample of sputum taken, sent to the laboratory to be typed and the prop CT serum obtained for that particu- | lar type.
