Merited!

Ralph Pernatozzi, 70 years old, of 122 Clover street, who stole 75 cents worth of city-owned sand cement to fill holes in his drive way so that his horse would find the going easier, was granted an outright nolle in city court to- day.
 Prosecuting Attorney William K. Lawlor, pointing out the mans age and previously good record, recommended the nolle, saying Pernatozzi had been warned.
 The prosecutor said the sand cement was stolen from in front of Pernatozzi's house where workmen had left it overnight during pro- ject on Clover street.

Der contests by Jack Beall of the New York Herald-T Tribune politi- cal staff.
 Republicans are expected to pick up from ten to twelve Senate seats, in this writer's interpreta- tion of the fall political scramble for places. Four Democratic in- cumbents are already on the side- lines by virtue of primary defeats. Eight more are listed as facing hard fights.
 Senator Maloney is included in this group and the Herald-Trib- une says of his chances: "One of the hardest of all the fights sched- uled this fall is to be that of Senator Maloney to come back for second term. He will need a great deal of independent sup port this year to win, according to Senate colleagues. ="
 Democratic senators who face "cinch" elections include: Charles O. Andrews of Florida; Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona; Theodore G. Bilbo of Mississippi; Harry F. Byrd of Virginia; Tom Connally of Texas; Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee; Joseph c. OMahoney

THOMASTON MAN SEEKING $15,0OO
Helen and Edward Burr Defendants in Suit Based
 on Auto Mishap

A suit asking damages of $l5,0oo was filed in the court of common plase today by Henry Osowiecki ot Thomaston, acting through his father, Alex Osowiecki, against Helen and Edward, of Plymouth.
 The complaint charges that on October g, 1889 at about 7:30 in the evening an accident occurred on Route 6, Plymouth, when an auto mobile driven by the defendant, Helen Burr, swerved out across the road without any hand signal be- ing given by the operator, so that the boy, who was riding motor cycle, could not help running into it. It is charged also that the car was without any tail light, as re- Quired by the law.
 A a result of the negligence of the defendant, Osowiecki claims to have suffered severe decorations and abrasions, as well as having to be operated on for loose bone chip in the knee joint. He will never re- cover the full use of his knee, &C., cording to the complaint.
 Atty. J. Warren Upson will rep resent the plaintiff in the action.

SUSPENSE STUDS
 KIWANIS FARLEY
Question of Speaker al TOmorrOw's Meeting
 Eclipses Late News

Will there be a speaker at the Kiwanis luncheon tomorrow or will there not? This question has sud- denly eclipsed the latest war news in popular interest as tlie fateful hour looms and the necessary ora tor still eludes your committee. Said committee has been Zealously beat- ing every bush and hedge but with out flushing a single silver-tongued spell binder, a species very rare at this time of year, it being their mating season.
 For a while the committee figured that they had a natural lined up for this week. They had planned a debate between couple of wellows who, they heard, had something to get of their chests. One of them, a chap named Wendell Willkie, was willing but the other guy, whose name escapes us, wouldn't partici- pate. It is hoped however. that this exchange of ideas can be worked out later, and if not before the local Kiwanis club, then somewhere else Madison Square Garden or some where.
 Personally, we don't understand why the committee doesn't get hold of John Burrall and get him up there in front of the club to tell about the Foot Guards recent tour of duty at Mantle, preparatory to the job of protecting us peace-lov- ing Connecticut folks from all ene- mics, foreign and domestic. We saw the genial major, in full regimentals returning from the Mantle cam- paign, and right fit and grim he looked. It made us sleep a whole lot better that night pust to have noted the steely glint in his military eye.
 And if not Maj. Burrall, then how about Lieut.. George J. Scott, fresh from the Ogdensburg maneuvres where he was connected with the commissary department and kept firing in those quarters of beef and heads of lettuce until even as var- acious a guy as Herman Goering would have called enough"
 Maybe by this time. this weeks speaker has been located. for you can't stump this sterling committee forever. They will produce somebody. depcnd upon 1t. the sole questions being those of identity and subject. which aren't very important anyhow. The main consideration is that Kiwanis will meet at the Elton, regular time. and they'll be haran- gued even If Prexy Idris Alderson has to do it himself.

committee will be called to fix the date for the Waterbury primaries. Should the September 20 date be fixed for the conventions and cau- cuses, the primaries here will prob- ably be fixed for day between Sep- tember to IA.
 Only a Few Weeks
 In any event, only a few weeks will elapse before the nominating conventions and great political ac- ticity is in store for the next several weeks. In the 18th senatorial district the nomination is being sought by Senator George T. Culhane, three term veteran, and Attorney Michael V. Blansf1eld, administration backed candidate. In the 18th district, there are three contestants, Senator Ed ward Egan, ex-Senator Joseph H. Lawlor and William ripper" Con- ley.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully, who has endorsed MT. Blansfield in the 18th district, said today he had no con- mitment to make in the 16th district fight. There are apparently we'll founded reports that the mayor will refrain from endorsing either MT. Egan or MT. Lawlor, each of whom has a large following.
 Eight Days in Advance
 The local party rules require that the town chairman announce the date of the local primaries at least eight days before they are to be held. On the fourth day before the primary the town committee is to be in session between and g D. m. to receive slateS of delegates from those seeking nomination. Primaries must be held at leaS tive days be- fore convention.
 Scheduled to be held here this fall are two senatorial conventions; town convention, which will name candidates for representatives and justices of the peace; probate con- vention and a congressional conven- tion, each of which will name local delegates to district probate and con- gressional conventions which will make the actual nominations.
 The voting in primaries this year is expected to be districts rather than wards, in view of the senatorial contents, and perhaps contests for the representative nominations.
 In Hartford, organization Demo- crats are reported considering a maneuver by which no primaries would be held this fall but instead candidates would be nominated by organization-controlled delegates to a city convention last spring. Mayor Scully said that no such attempt to dominate the choice of candidates would be made here, and that open primaries would be held.
 Primaries are the democratic way" said the mayor. land we'll have them here in Waterbury"

SIR GEO. PARISH
 IS PROPACANIST
Senator Wheeler's Buga= boo Has No Authority to
 Speak for Britain

Washington. Aug. 27.-(UP)-Sen Bennett c. Clark, D.. Mo, predict ed today that the Senate "has not heard the last" of Sir George Paish, British economist who was de- nounced yesterday by Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, as the man who claimed responsibility for get ting the United States into the Wrold war.
 "Paish is a professional propa- gandist," Clark said, "and I may have something to say about him in the Senate. I ran across him years ago on a train going from Kansas City to St. Louis, and I heard him I telling fellow-passergers that dire things would befall the United States unless it cancelled the war debts of Great Britain, France and other countries"
 Wheeler's charge stirred the Sem ate, and brought statements from Sens. Carter Glass, D., Va, and Er- nest Lundeen, ELL, Minn., that Paish ought to be kicked out" of this country. The British embassy here issued a statement saying that Paish was not in this country on any government mission and that his business was his own. Wheeler quoted Paish, onetime ad- wiser to Lloyd George, as saying that he was responsible" for getting this country into the last war, and that he planned cross-c country speak ing tour designed to get us into the present war
 He Changed It
 "I said to him, that is a broad statement" Wheeler said. Then he qualified it to the extent of saying, well, everything short of war"
 Wheeler said he contacted the state department to find out if Paish had registered under the law re- quiring registration of foreign agents visiting this country for pro- paganda purposes. The department, he said, had no record of any regis tration for Paish.
 Paish, according to Wheeler. came to the United States in November. 1916, on "a special mission" On that occasion. he hcarged, Paish admit ted spreading war propaganda.
 London. Aug. 27 - CUP) - Com- menting on criticism of the activi- ties of Sir George Paish by United States Senator Burton K. Wheeler. authoritative quarters said today that the Noted British economist does not have authority to speak for the British government.
 Sir George Paish is an elderly gentleman with a distinguished past engaged in a private lecture tour of the United States" the quarters said in asserting that Sir George does not represent any government dee pertinent.
 In the UntIed States Senate Sir George was criticized by Sen. Wheel CT as a propaeandist seeking United States entry into the war.

 Light hedge shelling in the face of limited demand carried prices of 1 to 3 points at the opening, but these losses were replaced by small net gaines when spot house and trade buying developed after the call.
 Follow-through support remained light, however, and renewed hedge pressure around midday eliminated the advance.
