decision as to procedure. Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin, Registrars John T. Derwin and A. O.. Taller, and Mechanic Harry Lcary appeared be- fore the board on various matters besides the canvass and the pur- chase of new machines, including questions by Mrs. Kilmartin about distribution of costs of printing ball. lots and such, responsibility for elec- tion payments.
 The board of aldermen is expect ed to undertake some action on the purchase of the machines at Mon- days meeting. But whether the money can be found out of other appropriations to satisfy Commis- sioner Goss in his stand that the city should not commit itself to fu- ture payments unprovided in cur rent estimates leaves purchase of the machines in dubious position.
 Upson's Statement
 The statement of Chairman Upson in criticism of the stand of Com missioner Goss and the latter's mo- ton passed by the finance board is as follows:
 "It is incredible" he declared. Every intelligent voter knows we have had a corrupt city government and that the basis of 1t is a clogged- up voting list with phoney names. We have been working for years for redistricting because smaller dis tricts will make illegal voting harder and we have been working for re- canvass to clean the lists.
 Now after years of fighting for these things, and getting the alder men to split up the districts, we find we are likely to continue to have corrupt government because the board of finance says 1t can't find the money. The people of Waterbury don't want their boards of finance and aldermen to register in favor of continuance of cor rupt government. It would involve practically no expense this year The voting machine company is willing to rent the machines anG accept installment payments over term of years.
 This action by the board of finance shows the worst kind of interest in better government. II indicates 1t wants to continue the same type of government we have had just for the sake of a few dollars"

(COOCuueQ ITOIu fdBe 1/ asserted, Nationalist navy units cap- tured a LoyaliSt coast guard boat of San Carlos de la Rapita. The boat was loaded with great quanti- ties of valuables including gold, sil- yer and obpects of art, it was said, and had Il Loyalist leaders aboard. The boat was trying to get to Tar rangona from Castellon de la Plana, the Nationalists said.
 A Nationalist radio dispatch from Salamanca said that the Natioalist infantry along the coast destroyed three Loyalist tanks and five armor- ed cars with their liquid fire.
 They Drive Ahead
 The Nationalist navy campaign offset the disadvantage which the Nationalist suffered from renewed rain and wind storms. Despite the bad weather, the Nationalists drove ahead both along the coast and in their new offensive in the Teruel sector where they were trying to straighten their line, so that they would have continuous front front facing eastward from t he French frontier to the coast opposite Alcala de Chivert-and, they hope, soon as far as Castellon.
 NationaliStS admitted stiffened Loyalist resistance bot halong the coast and in the Teruel zone but asserted that they were making progress. Loyalists denied any losses of moment.

7onaorrolu Ends Baby Contest Entry Period

 S2OO Cash, Other Prices, in Competition

the PICTURES which will be taken of ENTRIES FREE.
 Standings Nearly Ready
 Then, the standings of the numer- ous candidates for the $200 cash and other valuable prizes awaiting the winners will be published in THE DEMOCRAT. Returns are coming in even now but 1t is too soon to make any announcements about the leaders because the en- tries haven't closed.
 This is the time to remember that every baby entered in the CONTEST receives a lovely gift from THE DEMOCRAT. And that every baby under five years of age Is eligible and has an equal chance to win if not the $100 cash which is the grand first prize, in addition to a beautiful loving cop and the title, MOST POPULAR BABY"-then, some of the other prizes, $50 or $25. second and third, with loving cups; 12 fine portraits of baby, fourth prize; five awards of $5 each, fifth prize.
 Introducing Master Thompson
 Today we'll put the boy baby first in mentioning pictures of the en- tries. Here is Glenn Thompson, year old son of MT. and Mrs. Clar- ence Thompson of 133 Porter street, and a fine outstanding young man, to be sure. Glenn, asked what he thought about THE MOST POP ULAR BABY CONTEST and his chances of winning, told the BABY EDITOR:
 "Shucks! When I roll up the sleeves of my new sleepers-of course, my rompers have short sleeves, anyhowe-then I'll get enough elbow grease so this CON- TEST will be duck soup, in the vernacular. I'm going to be a foot ball player and I'm going to sea, too. So you can understand that mere competition in which girls are entered is nothing in my young life. Can I use the $l00 bucks? Who couldn't? It will buy & bicycle, sled, roller skates, books, and a new catcher's mitt when my team gets going this spring. Girls! Pooh. pooh, to them!"
 Sally Ann Retorts
 On the other hand, Sally Ann Signore, 17 months old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Dominic Signor Of B Highland avenue, Beacon Falls, had very different angle on the CON- TEST.
 You know, it has not been my privilege to meet many young men from Waterbury" she remarked. But from what I read about them in THE DEMOCRAT, should say that they are a rather egotistical lot. They all seem to feel that wonl- ans place is in the home, If not on the dance floor, and fail to stress the more important things in life art, literature, music. When I grow up I'm going to be an artiste and know lots of famous people. If I win the CONTEST, the money will be saved for lessons"

time. His assistant, Mir. DtCorpo, did not arrive until about noon with the public works records. MT. Larson also arrived about noon.
 Picture of All Meetings
 The books brought by DiCorpo, three in number, will present to the jury picture of all meetings of the board of public works who supervise the street, water and sewer depart ments. Several individuals ,flo hired out trucks and equipment to the city's departments have already ap- peared as witnesses. Phil Coppeto, president of the Abrigador Diggers, who received three-fourths of mil- lion dollars for city construction work, is among the missing witnesses.
 Larkin President of Bar
 Attorney William J. Larkin, Jr., is president of the Waterbury Bar as- sociation, prosecuting attorney of the court of common pleas, a former judge of city court, and 8 member of the law firm of Carmody & Thons. He was a familiar figure at general assembly sessions, especially when Waterbury bills were sched- uled for hearing.
 This was the first appearance of MT. Larson, and 1t came as 8 matter of surprise. Recall of MT. Smith and MT. Jackson also came as sur- prise, although there is not definite proof that they testified when called on previous occasions.
 All Waterbury
 Today's session was an "All-Wa- terbury" affair, the witnesses, until noon, being all local residents. For the past two days, by arrangement of Special Prosecutor Alcorn, audi tors have been working on the books of the Waterbury Democrat. This arrangement was made when John A. Hayden, business manager of The Democrat, and member of the board of finance was a witness be- fore the jury few weeks ago. The audit is undoubtedly in connection with reports that The Democrat did a large amount of the city's job printing during the past several years. Auditors are working at The Democrat instead of bringing the

books to the courthouse.
 Supt. Roach was the last witness Of the morning session, arriving at about 12:30 o'clock. He was called on a previous occasion.
 The jury did not adjourn the morning session until l:3O o'clock. although the usual time for ad- Journment is o'clock. In past days when the morning session has ex- tended past l o'clock, there have been occasions when night sessions were held. Supt. Roach was the last witness to leave.

 CarmO0y Calle0
 Former States Attorney Terence F. Carrnody of the law firm of Car mody 6 Thoms, was also ques- toned briefly yesterday afternoon at a late hour. His appearance was undoubtedly in connection with fees paid his firm for legal services. For mer Mayor William E. Thoms, also of the firm, has made two appear ances before the jury, but has not as yet been questioned.

Pasquale Perriello, president of the board of aldermen, Attorney Herman J. Weisman and Democratic Committeeman David E. FitzGerald of New Haven were other witnesses of the day. Perriello was not questioned and was expected to return today.
 Business Record
 Devino, who is in the contractors supply company, is believed to have profitable business with the city prior to January of this year, and 1t Is with this respect that the jury is questioning him.
