131 Marriages
In Waterh ury
During June

An increase Of so per cent in
local marriages over June Of last
year was recorded last month, ac-
cOrding to a compilation at the
Office Of Town Clerk Mary C. Kill
martin.
There were 131 marriages in
Waterbury last month, as COM
pared with SO in June Of 1888.
This years total may be increased
by the filing of additional certifi-
Gates for June weddings.
Local residents were particle
pants in IA marriages taking place
in other Connecticut cities and
towns last month. This compares
with 20 Waterburians in Out-of-
town marriages in June, 1889.
On one day, June 20, there were
more than 30 marriages per-
formed in the city. This Is be-
Meved to be the highest total ever
recorded on single day.
There were 107 sets of marriage
intentions issued at the town
clerks office last month. The re-
mainder Of the 131 couples Sc
cured their intentions before the
month began.

YOUNG 'TARzAN'
FINALLY Gagged
Congress Avenue Strong
Man Stages Demonstra-
ton Following Hearing

Joseph Sanford, 10, of go Congress
avenue, arrested yesterday a few
hours after he was given another
chance In city court, was sent to the
Cheshire reformatory today by
Judge John L. Gaffney who said he
hoped the youth would make an
effort to mend his ways.
Sanford was arrested by Officer
Joseph Norton who said he followed
him home yesterday on an intuition
that the youth might cause another
disturbance. In fact, the officer
said, 1t was not long before Sanford
chased his mother with a shoe
makers knife, but was held and
turned over to him before he could
do any damage.
Testimony yesterday disclosed
that Sanford had wrenched a kit
chen range from the wall, driven
his fist through two doors, and
broken some windows In his home.
The act was called an exhibition
of strength" and also a means Of
venting bis anger at his parents
and because they did not give him
everything he wanted.
In passing sentence today Judge
Gaffney said that because the youth
gave his word yesterday and did not
keep 1t, he could give him no con-
sideration.
However, hope you will make
an effort"

CONDUCT HEARING
ON COMPENSATION
Meriden Man Files Claim
for Injuries Sustained
in Fall

A decision has been rendered by
Compensation Commissioner James
M. Lynch In the case involving
Charles McKone of 181 Carter ave-
nue. extension, Meriden, claimant;
Rubin Simon, doing business as the
Hartford Roofing and Sheet Metal
Co., SO Franklin avenue, Hartford,
employer; and the American Mutual
Liability Insurance Co., Of Hart
ford, insurer.
Hearings were held by the COM
missioner at the county courthouse
on June 4th and 14th, and 1t was
ascertained that the claimant was
injured in a fall on January 26th
Of this year while carrying sheet
metal for his employer. The fall in
jured his back and right arm, and
caused him to be sent to Charlotte
Hungerford hospital, where he was
discharged on February second. The
hospital bill totalled STATS. The
compensation paid him by the COM
pany was 1929 weekly, a computa-
ton which was later Sound to be
incorrect. In addition to the hos
pital bill there were other doctors
bills, for treatment at the time of
the injury. Partial incapacity still
continues, as the claimant has not
yet been able to return to his former
work.
Commissioner Lynch ordered that
compensation of $10.79 be paid
weekly from January q until May
%, the period Of total incapacity.
After May % payments for partial
disability must be made, amounting
to half the difference between what
the claimant received before the in
jury, and what he has earned since.
Reasonable payment must also be
made, according to the commission
er, for transportation and medical
expenses. The question Of specific
injuries is left open for the present.

Friends Desert Him.

London, July 10-(UP)-The APP
pointment of the Duke of Windsor
as Governor General of the Bahia
mas, a post heretofore conferred
upon "ossif1ed generals" comedies
with reports that he and some of his
most loyal friends have come to a
parting of the ways.
His friends privately reproach him
for suddenly leaving his post as a
Jason officer with the French army
when the Germans broke through
the French defenses to the north.
1t was understood that Major Ed
ward Dudley (Fruity) Metcalf, the
Dukes lifelong companion who is
now in London, will not accompany
him to the Bahamas.
The appointment came as a COM
plete surprise since it was under
stood here that everything had been
prepared for the Duke and the
Duchess to take up residence in
England. They are now in Lisbon,
Portugal, and it is believed they will
go directly to Nassau.
1t was revealed that while the
Duke and Duchess were in Spain as
refugees from France, the Duke ne
gotiated with the British govern
ment as to whether he should re-
turn to Britain. Sir Samuel Hoare,
British minister to Spain, acted as
negotiator.
1t was understood that the gov
eminent agreed to permit their re-
turn provided they did not cause
any embarrassment to the royal
family or the government and that
the Duke would not insist on special
privileges for his wife or himself.
Subsequently, however, the Duke
inquired what post he would get in
the war office and the government
solved the problem, 1t was UNDER
stood. by appointing him governor
Of the Bahamas.
