 He was member of the Water bury lodge of Elks and prominent in the affairs of that organization. Friends said he was looking forward with great anticipation to and ElkS' banquet to be held soon.
 Associated With Father
 After leaving high school, he was associated with his father in the op- eration of the fruit store in the cen- ter. Since his fathers death, he and his brother, Albert, were partners in the enterprise.
 One of the city's best known Italian-American residents, "Chas" Bauby had friends by the score. Those who knew him narvelled at the consistent interest which he had in his work, and at the way he man. aged hard and laborious tasks with out making any complaints. Possess sor of an engaging personality, he always had cheery word for cus- toners who entered the store.
 Lover of Sports
 He followed sports of all kinds for many years, and liked nothing bet ter than to take part in a lively discussion about football, boxing, baseball or some other form of ath- letics.
 His wife, Mary Monaghan Bauby, died about 10 years ago.

Judge Allen May Be
 Named High Justice
Continued from Page D

Recently, Miss Allen has been sit ting as head of a tnree-judge fed- eral tribunal hearing suit chal- Ienging the constitutionality of the Tennessee Valley Authority act, one of the pillars of the New Deal.
 Miss Allen has defended vigorous ly the entrance of women into the business and professional world, and has contended that the American home has not suffered thereby.
 T think in certain ways women have changed American politics for the better, particularly in their par ticipation in juries," she once said, You can hardly judge women's ef- feet on politics merely from the ac- tion of individual womeA office holders. We don't judge mems effect on politics in such manner. And it will take long time for women S effect to register so that we can properly appraise it.
 But the constantly Altering into the home of information about gov- ernment through mothers now as we'll as fathers, is making itself felt"

BUTCHER IS DEAD
 OF STAB WOUND

Lowell, Mass, Jan. 10-(UP).-A Westford butcher died of a heart stab early today after he allegedly charged against 10-inch knife his business partner held as a defense during friendly argument George Wolkwich, 50, succumbed at a hospital here despite blood trans fusions. His partner, Paul Voropay, 40, was held on a murder charge at Westford for appearance in Aver court today.
 Two witnesses, Philip Woroby and Amelian Minko, said the store pro- prietors got into a friendly argu- ment" while going over their books. The argument developed into a brawl, they said, when Wolkwich made remarks about Voropay's wife. They were released under bond as material witnesses. Voropay told po- lice that when he was thrown against the meat-cutting block, his hand fell on the butcher knife. He picked it Up and held it against his chest, blade forward he said, and Welkwich charged into it. Wolkwich died on the operating table two hours later.

 prised of the existence of such an evil, in committing to Limbo this nsfariogls contrivance which has been depriving already indigent households of the very money needed for feeding babies, buying clothes, paying rent and procuring, in extreme cases probably, life-or- death medical care. For this bit of humanitarian service to your less fortunate fellow, feel certain the public will be grateful.
 Furthermore, when it is generally realized that you have accomplished this great service to the public in spite of your numerous other duties the magnitude of such an accom- pliallment becomes doubly great. With a full appreciation of your preoccupation with such matters, l am not at all surprised, as other civic-minded men have profeSsed to be, that you have not as yet been able to find time to devote to the extirpation of another iasidious and thriving termite, the numbers" CT policy" game. am confident, ill view of your conlmendable action in the gambling machine crusade, that you will launch a prompt, effective and relentless campaign against its blood and blood-sucking brother, which has literally been putting it's hands into the pockets of working men and taking nickels, dimes and quarters. I earnestly hope that you will meet with success in your ef- fort to this end.
 It has always been the proud boast of Waterburians that our city has something on everybody" and although I imagine this may have been qualified on occasion, l feel sure that we have as much, II no more, than the city of New York in this branch of endeavor, the elimination of vice. They have a 'Dewey" and so have we. Good luck to both of them!

 Our government is conducted by the people through representatives of their own choosing. It was with singular unanimity that the found- CTS of the republic agreed that upon such free and representative form of government as the only practical means of government by the people.
 Such an amendment to the consti- tuition as that proposed would crip- pie any president in his conduct of our foreign relations, and it would encourage other nations to believe that they could violate American rights with impunity.
 I fully realize that the sponsors of this proposal sincerely believe that it would be helpful in keeping the United States out of war. am convinced it would have the oppo- site effect.

ENGLAND WILL
 BUILD BIG NAVY
Continued from Page D

(Contlnued rom Page D
 It has been reported that Japan intends to build three gigantic bat tleships of 46,000 tons each with 16- inch guns. Confirmation of this report would mean that Britain, and presumably the United States, would follow suit. Hence naval ex- perts would not be astorished to find that the new British naval es- inmates. to be published in March, revealed plans for two or even three battleships of 46,000 tons or more.
 France also is expected to increase her battleship program because of Italy's new construction.
 Italy Got Start
 Italy obtained a start in building of 35,000 ton ships by laying down two 35,000 ton ships il' October, 1884 France retorted by laying down one in October, 1885, and one in Janu- ary, 1897. Britain laid down two January 1, 1887; on on April g., 1887; one June l, 1887 and one July 20, 1887. Italy's ships are to be com pleted late in 1889; one of Frances is to be completed in 1889, the other in 1940. Four of Britains' are to be completed in 1940 and one in 1941.
 Whatever the result of any Italian building, 1t was reported here, France and Britain intend to main tain unquestioned supremacy in the Mediterranean.
 United Press dispatches from Paris reported that Britain and France alrsady were discussing the new Italian program under sn agreement foS technical collaboration drafted 8 month ago.

 Corp. Counsel At Work

Corp. Counsel At Work
 Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor said that he was working on an opinion for which the con- troller has asked regarding the separation of payroll items such as trucks and drivers. It will be ready tomorrow, it was expected.
 Other opinions, sought by both Mayor Hayes and the new control Ter on the matter of payments by the latter'S office, are pending, he said.
 Officials explained that it has been custom for at least score of years to make payment to employees who are on an annual basis of the differences due them before the books are closed for the year. In- asmuch as Controller Rowland signed the last payroll, they con- tend that he has given his seal of approval to payment of employees without consideration of these items by the board of finance.
 Given Tacit Approval
 For this reason, they say that he has actually given tacit approval to the payments included on the list totalling the publicized 1885, which is reprinted, as follows, for consideration of the items under attack:
 Following is the complete list of items for December added after the finance boards meeting Dec. Is:

Ignorant of Method
(Continued from Page D

MT. Rowland apparently is ig- norant of the method of payment of considerable number of city employees" an official told The Democrat. Else why should he question, 1f indeed, he he does, the dozen payments on his list of December disbursements which are definitely monies due en- ployes to bring their annual pay up to date.'
 Reference is to twenty payments made to individuals, some of them employees of the controllers office, who are paid on an annual basis and have sums due them at the last of the year which do not regularly come under the payroll items. At the present, it was developed today, many city employees have 8 pay com- ing on the same basis, pay which was not in their checks which Con- troller Rowland got out last We'd nesday, some later than the usual time.
 Payroll Stamp on Way
 At his office today, it was said that the payroll stamp would arrive tomorrow and that the city en- ployes might expect their checks on time Wednesday.
 One item on the list, "$11, 1887 .92 to the New Haven Construction company" showed payments for work on Meadow street, the work arranged for by the city engineer ing department, the amount paid fixed by that department Another item, "S32,52950 to L. Suzio Con- Struction company" was for the work familiar to everyone in Wa terbury, that on Willow street, and was similarly arranged for by the engineering department, the price set before the work sarted. Pay ments have been approved by the board of finance in general for all of this city work.
 Altieri Go. Payment
 The Altieri Construction company Q1 itemS), was paid $29,21573 for rental of equipment and work done, while Santalucia, for Is items of work, received $7,37950, in the list of December payments. Work on the municipal golf course, which in December added a score of extra WPA employees, was handled by the Altieri company, among other work. Santalucia had several trucks working and the pay of drivers is included in the items, according to the controllers comment before the last meeting of the finance commissioners.
 Commissioners Differ
 The commissioners, all agreeing that they intended abiding by char ter provisions, were divided over the interpretation of the charter as re- spects certain payments by the con- troller's office of amounts due from the city. The commissioners called to the attention of the controller at his first public appearance before them that his bond of $50,0OO was adequate protection for the city in the matter of using judgment about what should be paid at such times as the board meeting was not sched- uled in time to accord reasonably prompt consideration of such mat ters.
 Try Further Exposures"
 Meanwhile, today, the Republi- cans were preparing to attempt fur. ther exposure" of the concerns which have done business with the city. Search was made of record. in the town clerks office for name. of officers of concerns with view to create what officials called "s smoke screen" over the office cur. rently being used to provide politica fuel for the generally defeated Flu.
