 Don't fear that President Roos- evelt will run for 6 third term. It would be the biggest fool mistake ever made. People will never tol- crate e third term for him. The phesident has more sefse than to try t. I'm sure"

tion. If a depositor is in 8 hurry or has difficulty in making out deposit slip, he finishes them out, and when depositor wants a check cashed, he sees that 1t is cashed. His desk is nearest the door and he meets everyone, has a pleasant face. an amiable disposition, good- looking, neat in appearance; and first, last and always he is for the bank and of the bank. Now, ladies and gentlemen, have described Carl Olsen, Yes, he was the Waterbury Trust Company and under him that bank prospered. l say that without him 1t would have re- mained stagnan. Of course, MT. Seeley in his testimony told you that Carl Olsen was g. trusted em- ploye. Can't you see this young Ol- sen entering the bank as an errand boy, getting to the bank early, stay- ing late. Now, then, with these facts in mind, analyze the states accusation against Carl Olsen. The two episodes on which the state lays stress to prove to you beyond 8 reasonable doubt that Carl Olsen was a perfect banker and 8 partic- ipant in the alleged corrupt agree ment to rob the citizens for eight years was the fact that at the re- quest of Dan Leary in 1883, he brought currency to the city hall and was given in return for 1t, a city check; and that subsequently, in 1895, at the request of MT. Leary he brought currency to Leary at the Diamond Ginger Ale office and gave 1t to him in return for @ city check. And MT. Alcorn claims to you that these two epi- sodes attempt to prove to you be- yond 8 reasonable doubt that Carl Olsen is a crook
 Loved And Admired
 Now, Frankie Burns or Frank J. Santalucia. But like Frankie Burns; I like that name better and will use it because find that that name well becomes this great. big, outstanding fellow whom every- body loves and admires. Apparently the controlling criticism of Frankie Burns is that he owns and operates restaurant opposite the post of- flee where intoxicating liquor is sold. I wonder if Frankie Burns was charged in this information because of his business. Others of his na- tionality received very large sums of money and were paid with un- numbered checks as Frankie, but they are not charged with conspir- acy. I assume that the states at- torney's only point of proof against Frankie Burns Is that he failed to report for taxable purposes some trucks and equipment, and, there. fore, he couldn't have furnished the trucks and equipment for which he was paid to the city. Now, the state has proved just the contrary by the introduction of purchase orders. Re- member. all this information came from the state. The states evi- dence is that the trucks were fur. nished and by Frankie Burns, that the equipment was furnished by him. You remember the state put in evidence the small blow. com- pressor, the jack hammer, steam rollers and shovels. They were all used by the city on different jobs and approved by the street depart ment. Doesn't the prosecution place you in doubt when by evi- dence of the city's records, it proves that Frankie Burns furnished equip- ment and truck hire and was paid for 1t in the regular manner that every claim against the city was paids

(Continued from Page 1) fight against increased payments to the state based on the nightly handle" at the tracks.
 The report of a conference com. mittee, passed by the house, which would have given the state an es- timated $500,000 additional dog track revenue annually, was defeat. ed in the senate, 19 to 18. with two senators paired and one senator voting present" It was the grst time since the dog track contro- versy started that the senate had revealed its sentiment by roll call.
 Vote Was Warning
 A hamburger of the catastrophe which was to engulf the govern. or's whole tax program was the roll call vote of 127 to 90 by which the house rejected the proposal for an increase of two cents on each pack age of cigarettes. This tax would have been collected directly from the distributors of cigarettes. An alternate proposal to collect the tax by the placing of state revenue stamps on each package was killed by a roll call vote of 124 to 96.
 After these two roll calls, house Speaker Herter (R) Boston, left the rostrum and urged that the defeat of the entire program by rejection of the accompanying measure tc reduce personal income tax exc emptions from $2000 to $1,4oo. The defeat of this proposal was effected by voice vote, and the program was scuttled.
 Liquor Tax Survived
 The only measure to survive was that which would increase from 40 to 95 cents a gallon the tax on hard liquor, and from 10 to 49 cents . gallon on certain types of wine.
 Before the house jettisoned the taxation program, 1t had voted a moderate tax on ''beano" games and a substantial tax on trusts and in- tangibles, but both these measures were lost in the general defeat that ensued.
 Retaliating against the house for its irsistence that dog track taxes be increased, the senate submitted a $2,0O0 salary bill for the house measure fixing Q legislators salary at $3,50O. The $2,0O0 bill will come before the house Monday or Tues day.

Wright was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $150 on assault charges after an incident at his home in June, 1888. It was charged that after 8 quarrel with his wife over his attentions to Miss Milburn, he took a rife out into the yard and fired several shots at a woman he thought was his wife. Then he hied to his yacht and went on a cruise with Miss Milburn. Coast guardsmen chased him through Long Island Sound and ended the idyl by capturing him and turning him over to police who had charged him with assault with intent to kill. At his trial he said he was shooting at a chicken coop, not at his wife, and the complaint was lessened to one simple assault.
 Wright Is the son of the late presi- dent of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Go. Miss Milburn is the niece of Devereaux Milburn, the polo player. Her father is Ralph Milburn of Clearwater, Fla.

The case Is rested on the Stlpula- ton of ownership of the articles and briefs filed by opposing counsel, MT. Fitzgerald said.
 MT. Upson's statement to the court is as follows:
 "The position of the respondent is that the Connecticut statute forbid- ding the use of contraceptive devices does not apply to the use of such devices by married woman for req sons of health upon the prescription of a physician. It is the contention of the respondents that if the Con- necticut statute forbidding the use of contraceptives has the universal application claimed for 1t by the state, 1t Is unconstitutional.
 'The respondents contend that that state may proceed to the con- fscation and destruction of these contraceptive devices only if the state proves beyond 8 reasonable doubt that they were not used by married women upon the advice of 8 physician for reasons of health. Inasmuch as the state has made no such showing, the respondents do not feel that there is any reason why they should proceed with the introuction of testimony, and they take the position that the state has completely failed to offer evidence upon which the court may find that the contraceptive devices seized were kept with intent to violate the law.
 "The question here is primarily as to the construction of the Connecti- cut statute prohibiting the use of contraceptive devices. The respond ents contend that the statute permits the use of contraceptive devices by married women upon the advice of a physician for health reasons. The state, on the other hand, contends that the statute prohibits the use of any contraceptive device by anybody regardless of the physical condition of the user or the opinion of the physician as to the desirability of preventing pregnancy.
 If this court adopts the statutory construction for which the respond ents contend, these proceedings must be dismissed and the contraceptive material must be returned to the re- spondents. If this court decides that the construction of this statute for which the state contends is the cor- rect one, no evidence that the re- spondents could introduce would af- feet the result. Therefore, the re- spondents have concluded that the introduction of further testimony is unnecessary.
 "The state has failed to offer any evidence to indicate that the contra ceptive devices in question were not held by the respondents for the pur- pose of distribution to married wom- en upon the advice of a physician. It is contended that this failure on the part of the state constitutes fatal deficiency of proof and that, there- fore, the court must order the con- traceptive devices returned to the re- spondents.
 "The position of the respondents and the construction of the per- tinent statutes for which the re- spondents contend have been very fully set forth in the brief filed by the respondents in support of their motion to dismiss. No additional dis cussion of the law seems to be nec- essary under the circumstances, and the respondents are satisfied to have this court decide upon the questions involved in the light of the memo- randum of authorities already pre- sented and upon the record in its existing form"
