CHARGING ARMSTRONG
WAS GIVEN WORKS

New York, Sept. z (Stan Kur-
man for CNA)-The accused sat
as Judge and jury this week, found
themselves innocent-then plast-
cred a penalty on the accuser.
General John Phehn, Bill
Brown and D. Walker Wear of
the New York State Boxing Com
mission were the gents who held
court to sift charges directly
involving them, by Manager Ed
die Mead that Henry Armstrong
had been robbed out of the light
weight title which he lost to Lou
Ambers at the Yankee Stadium
a couple of weeks ago.
Mead brought out three specific
charges against referee Arthur
Donovan, who as third man in
the rink took five rounds away
from Armstrong for low punches
Tho Commission completely exen-
Grated Donovan and suspended
a month for factions detrimental
to boxing Al WE'LL, Amber's
pilot. who has been conducting a
running squabble with Mead ever
since the fight was arranged, was
suspended for Four months for
the same reason.
Esth suspensions will be lifted
temporarily thirty days prior to
The third meeting between Arm
strong and Ambers set for Nov
2, as a welter title test. The sus-
pensions will go back in effect
Immediately after the fight.
Mead's charges against Dono-
a were:
/. When the boys met in the
center of the ring to get last
minute instructions, Donovan
warned Armstrong against low
punching but failed to caution
Ambers.
2. Donovan parted the fighters
several times when Armstrong
was getting the best of the
action inside.
3. Donovan had orders to call
fouls against Henry.
Donovan ard Frank Fullam, one
Of the judges in the fight, denied
that they had been private in
structions.
Bpxing-writer Lester Bromberg
refused to testify on stories that
he had written charging Donovan
had been given separate instruc-
tions by General Phelan and that
Lullam was a last-minute nominee
as judge.
Mead, apparently fearful of an
tagonising the Commission, back
ed down on a dress-room state
ment that Commissioner Bill
Brown had said that Armstrong
wuold lose six rounds on fouls.

November defeats should be ascribed to local issues of no major signif- canoe or should be acceptde as evil dence of a conservative trend away from the new deal. It appear now that the latter judgment will pre- vails.
 Calm Business Pulse
 Observers generally place that construction on the Iact that Presi- dent Roosevelt and his aides recent ly have been saying things calculat- ed to calm the business pulse. These reassuring words have been offset a bit, 1t is true, by other developments. The nomination of Thomas R. Amlie. Wisconsin liberal or radical, to the interstate commerce cmomission, jared business and the conservative wing of the Democratic party. Sim ilarly, Mir. Roosevelt's handling of some patronage matters, notably in Virginia, might be interpreted az ir1- tended to strengthen new deal Dem- ocratic organizations at the expense of the opposition conservative fac' tion-all of which would be designed to perpetuate new deal policies by nomination and election of q new deal president in 1940.
 Administration moves calculated to reassure business included 6 White House announcement that the New Deal program had been laid before corgress-that no sur prise reforms were up af,yoaeS sleeve. There Is some doubt among influential Democrats that the rec tnainder of this session will pass without at least one more spectac- ular proposal from the president. but that doubt appears predicated more on suspicion than fact.
 Utilities Reassured
 MT. Roosevelt spoke reassuringly of future development of publicly owned electric utilities, suggesting that adjustment of the Common wealth and Southern Corpn.. con- troversy in the Tennessee Valley had removed grounds for further fears of federal encroachment. President Wendell Wilkie of the Utility Hold ing company immediately proposed that the presidents power policy be put in writing and 1t is notable that Hopkins now proposes a meeting of minds"

 The latter experiments originated with Dr. Foter, who came to Con- necticut State from Cornell Univer- sity. He discovered the horse-radish fumes more toxic than those of the other two vegetables, and that they would kill human tuberculosis or- ganisms from two to four times as quickly as onion :apors. Exposures of these organisms for periods of even less than an hour proved fatal when they were incubated at body tenn perature.
 These same organisms have been shown to be highly resistent to sun light and powerful antiseptics.

 The bacteriologist, however, Cau- toned against excessive claims for his experiments.
 T am not presenting these ex- periments as a cure for disease, but I am to show that an interesting phenomenon has been disclosed. What the future of these experi- ments may bring is purely prob lematical. and within the scope of any suggestion that may make at this time."
 pr. Foter plaps to extend his tests to determine the effects and ap- plicability of his finding In labora- tory experiments on living animals He will he said, pursue his assump- ton that a certain chemical con- stituent of the three vegetables Is responsible for the toxic effect on the many form of bacteria with which he has worked.

MaryA. Sheron Death of Beloved Resident of Wol- colt Sure ct
 Mourned by
 Old Friends
BY THE OUT EASTER


 When Mary A. Sheron of l77 Wolcott street died the other day, 1t made many of the few remain ing members of Old Out Easter families think back to the early days of the Church of the Sacred Heart and revive the important part the Sherons and others just like them, played in the success of the establishment of this im- portant church in a community which had few residents, although the lines easterly went to the town limits.
 Drawbacks
 There were many drawbacks in the early days, but the parish- toners were persistent, hard and energetic workers on account of their love and admiration for the beloved Rev. Hugh Treanor. He knew them all; he called almost daily at the various homes, knew almost every member of the household, and so erdeared him. self into the hearts Of all that whenever he called for aid the entire parish responded. He never scolded from the altar: never sought the limelight by any dis play of letter writing, kept his people well informed of everything in connection with the parish work; personally interested him. self in the success of each mem Der of the church; confined his activities to the priesthood solely. and never at any time lost his hold among the people, the builders and background of this, the third Catholic parish of Waterbury.
 Altar work in those days was performed by the real interested friends of the church. The Sherons, including Mary more than did their share; they were there to do their part after each and every service held in the edifice.
 Old Newsboys
 old newsboys now grown to manhood, can never 'orget the old fashioned Sheron home, at the corner of Wolcott and Oak streets. The Sherons were all good cooks, especially Mary. Every time a newsboy called with his paper. or whenever any other boy Or girl called on a similar errard, there was something waiting for them on the dining table. Freshly baked beans, pie and cake were often served to .hese young people in the days we have in mind. It was not an uncommon thing to see various children of the neigh borhood seated at the eheron table, or enjoying a bite or two of home made foodstuffs in the kitchen. Mary sheron never forgot the young of her day. She loved and therefore sought their coin- pany.
 No wonder then, tear or two dropped from their wet eyes as they reviewed the numerous kind acts of this little and thoughtful parsonage, who lived and died among the families of the old Wolcott road, even though many of the older lot passed away some years ago. But their children lived, and 1t was with them that Mary Sheron often discussed the changes in time, and the hard ships that went with The early days of organization of the church of the Sacred Heart.
 Often times church work iS for- gotten and seldom appreciated, at least on this earth.
 We hope 1t won't be in the next world.
