ficiently improved to come to court Tuesday," Slavin and Fleming have been absent from court for the past week due to illness. Fleming col lapsed in the courthouse January 6, from nervous exhaustion.
 All Depends on Fleming
 The start of the trial next TueS- day depends in part on the report which the two defense doctors, Jo- seph F. Burke and Daniel P Grif- fin, and two others to be named by MT. Alcorn, submit to the court Their report will be handed to the clerk of the court tomorrow noon
 In the event they report Fleming sufficiently recovered to go on trial with the 25 others Tuesday, there will be no necessity of further ar- rangement. Judge Inglis has assign ed the case for Tuesday, with the condition that if Fleming's health would not allow his attendance, the trial might be postponed.
 There Is also the possibility that the trial would start Tuesday ever if the physicians declare Fleming is not in condition to attend. It is within the jurisdiction of the spec ial prosecutor to sever Fleming's case from the others and proceed delaying the Fleming trial until the others are completed. Special Prose cutor Alcorn will confer with De- fense Attorney Healey when the medical report is rendered and ir that conference it is expected the question of trial next Tuesday, de- lay due to Fleming's condition, o1 trial without Fleming will be de- cided.
 Special Prosecutor Alcorn could not be reached for a statement to- day. He said yesterday that he would be unwilling to announce the name of his medical commission inn mediately.
 Attorney Healy said that every thing depended upon the findings o1 the medical quartet.
 Court Room Rearranged
 Meanwhile the courtroom was completely rearranged for the trial Fourteen chairs, for the ten men and four women, including two al- ternates, have been placed in the jury box. The jury room is kept locked at all times. Spectators will be allowed a minimum of space be- cause of the large number of de- fendantS, attorneys, witnesses and newspapermen who must be accom- modated.
 Six farmers, one laborer, two car- penters and three women will be congregated in the jury box to hear the evidence and decide the issues.
 Doctors Deny Alcohol
 Dr. Burke and Dr. Griffin denied yesterday that use of alcohol at- tributed to the condition of Elem ing. Dr. Burke's testimony was cor roborated by Dr. Brennan.
 Concerning Fleming's ability to go on trial next Tuesday, Dr. Burke said, T believe he will be able phy- sically to come-what the effect of his coming will be I cannot say"
 Dr. Griffin said that when he first examined Fleming January 9 he was hallucinatory, and had a vague notion of some conspiracy or plot afoot to do him harm.
 He said that when he visited him again January 16 there was a de- finite improvement.
 Dr. Griffin suggested to MT. Flem- ing that he go to a sanitarium for a complete rest, but said yesterday

Others Injured

Others Injured
 Other ct.Sdren injured were Ar thur Boulanger, II, and Claire Bou- langer, 13; and Mary Rose Mo- Kenna, 13, of Meriden road, all companions. Degnan was likewise injured. A passenger in his car, Es- ther Brieve, 27, of Culver street Naugatuck, suffered painful hurts
 Roberts, suing as administrator of the estates of his children, claims that the fatal accident was caused by the negligence and carelessness and speed with which the Degnan car was operated. He claims $15,- 900 for the death of each of his two children.
 According to the complaint, both children were injured January 20 1888 and both died January 21, 1888 as result. They were horribly mutilated by the impact of the car, which apparently skiGded on the snow-covered shoulders of the road.
 Near Roberts Home
 The accident happened within a stone-throw of the Roberts home at Todd and Meriden roadds, Wolcott. The children had been sliding in a driveway and were preparing to say goodnight and depart when the tragedy struck them.
 The firm of Carmody 6 Thoms represent MT. Roberts in the litiga- ton.
 Degnan was sentenced to Jail for six months on charges arising from the fatal accident.

ORATORIO TO BE
 STAGED SHORTLY
Choral Society to Offer Elijah Membership
 Drive Planned

The Waterbury Choral society re- stunned rehearsals after the holiday season recently at Canadian Legion hall, 109 Bank street. Before the re- hearsal a business meeting was held at which a set of bylaws drawn up at a previous committee meeting was voted upon and approved as was a budget plan for each concert. The budget plan covers all expenses for one concert including the music used. Every member is held responsible for the sale of six so-called associate membership tickets, each of which admits two persons. This eliminates all dues and payments for music and leaves the member practically free of any expense. This plan as adopted by the Waterbury Choral group has been worked out to great success in several musical organizations throughout Connecticut.
 Kenyon Congdon, the society's musical director, will start rehearsals for Mendelssohns great oratorio Elijah" in about two weeks time, and to insure a good balance for this presentation the society is, at this time, conducting 8 drive to increase the membership to at least one hun- dred persons. All those interested in joining the society will be cordial ly welcomed Monday evening, Jan- uary 23, at the rehearsal hall, 109 Bank street, at 8 p. m.

Kentucky Candidate Asks
Hatch Bill Protection
BY the Associated Press.

.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 3.-Sec-
retary Of State Charles D. Arnett,
candidate for the Democratic NOM
ination for Governor, charged in a
telegram to United States Attorney
General Frank Murphy today he
was being illegally harassed by "use
Of the w. P. A."
He asked protection" under the
newly enacted Hatch bill prohibiting
most Federal employees from taking
an active part in political cam
paigns.
At the same time Mr.. Arnett ap-
pealed to Kentucky Attorney Gen.
eral Hubert Meredith to "see to it"
that State employees do not "vio-
late the spirit of the (Hatch) law"
II am opposed on the one hand
by Federal employees, actively en-
gagged on behalf of one of my oppo-
nents, and on the other by the or
ganized forces of the State govern
ment," he said.
1t. Gov. Keen johnson and John
Young Brown, opponents of Mr.. Ar
nett, are supported, respectively, by
Gov. A. B. Chandler and Senator
Alben w. Barkley.

zens are puzzled as to how the three,
not constituting a quorum, could
appoint new members of the coun-
Gil. The charter provides that the
council fill vacancies in its own
membership.
Three members of the Seat Pleas
ant Council are Government en-
ployes. They are Van Moreland,

Prince Georges Problem.
The bill creates further. more
far-reaching political problem in
Prince Georges County, where two
of the county's Democratic leaders
hold Federal appointments. ].
Hampton Magruder of Upper Marl-
boro is collector of internal reve-
nue. for the Baltimore district, which
includes Washington, and Kent R.
Mullikin of Laurel is director of
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton in Baltimore.
At the 1886 Democratic National
Convention in Philadelphia Mr.. Ma
gruder was delegate and Mr.. Null
likin was an alternate. The Hatch
law forbids their participation in
conventions while they hold their
Federal posts
In the District one of those af-
fected is United States Marshal
John B. Colpoys. who, 1t is expected,
will have to. give up his post as
chairman of the Democratic State
Committee for the District. His case
was singled out by the President at
a press conference to illustrate the
vagueness as to the bills applica-
ton.
Mr.. Colpoys today declined to
comment on what he would do ex-
cept to say, Il will obey the law
He added he had not looked into
the matter sufficiently to make a

Man to End in Ruins Of Sum-
Wells Predicts in New Book
Unprepored to Handle New Powers
And Inventions, Writer Declares
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 3.-H. G. Wells,
gloomily surveying a civilization In
a new book published today, sur
misses that "the universe is bored
with man" and that humanity,
which began in a cave, will end in
the disease-soaked ruins Of a slum."
The British man Of letters who
popularized science and made his
tory best seller bases his pesshmism
on conclusion that:
New powers, inventions, con-
trivances and methods are not the
unqualified enrichment Of normal
life that we had expected.
They are proving dangerous and de-
vastating in our eager but unpre-
pared hands"
Science Alters Environment.
In 33O-page volume called THE
Fate Of Homo Sapiens" Mr.. Wells
makes these points:
/. Science and invention have
altered the material environment Of
humanity.
2. The disruptive, driving force Of
bored and unemployed young mer,
which must find an outlet, probably
will shatter human life altogether
under the new conditions.
3. The present mental organiza-
ton of our species is insufficient to
control the existing situation.
Somewhat glumly the writer con-
cludes, however, that the salvage Of
mankind is still just possible" by
'willful and strenuous adaptation
by re-education of our species now
forthwith" to fit it for a kind Of
universal democracy. This educa-
ton would be along a more inter-
national and more widely under
standing scale than ever yet has
been conceived.
Mr.. Wells added that today
catastrophy is well on its way -
but education seems still unable to
get started"
Critical of Chamberlain.
He dealt in this fashion with
European leaders:
Hitler-An unqualified horror"
Mussolini-"Vain, rhetorical and
immensely energetic often, as
schoolboys say. bit of an ass
which Is much more endearing"
(than Hitler.
Chamberlain-"Es Essentially igno-
rant, narrow minded, subconsciously
