During Absence
Judge Takes Quick Action When Human Exhibits Are
Brought Into Court—Neighbors Testify That
Woman Provides Wrong Environment for Family
Three little boys were presented
In court this morning as human ex
ilblts of a mother’s neglect. The
condition of their bodies and their
wearing apparel and the testimony
of their 18-year-old sister and sev
eral interested neighbors was suffi
cient to convince Judge T. V. Mey
er that it was a case in which the
mother’s personal indifference and
wdlful neglect were responsible.
The result was the imposition of a
six months’ jail sentence on Mrs
Anna Delinkaitis of Riverside
street.
While the ordinary circum
stances of the family were of an
unusual nature the testimony was
sufficient to indicate that Mrs Del
inkaitis by her conduct made mat
ter* unbearable and that her chil
dren were being reared in a very
unwholesome atmosphere. Neigh
bors and special welfare inves
tigators had words of commenda
tion for the 18-year-old daughter.

a very efficient and able street
snuperlntendent, hlH work being

Trolley Stop I nsettled
The borough board came no
nearer to a solution of the relbd
of congestion caused by north
bound trolley cars taking on and
off passengers at the terminal on
South Main street than they have
in several months. It was expect
ed that at last night's session a
remedy for the condition would be
advanced. Burgesses Maurice An
enberg and Tracv Noble who were
named a committee to confer with
General Manager Charles Chapman
of the Connecticut company pre
sented a report of tip- conference
held last Thursday with the com
pany official. Burgess Anenberg re
ported that a proposal was made
to have the north hound trolley
stop on North Main street and that
a safety zone he established, lie
stated that both he and Burgess
Noble were first inclined to give
this a trial but that since the con
dition had heert gltepgd. He pre
sented a map submitted by Man
ager Chapman of North Main street
where it was proposed to establish
the safety zone. Burgess Noble
stated that he at first thought the
suggestion might he tried out hut
kat he had thought the matter

Adamson took the matter and gave
It consideration. Burgess Burke in
Jquircd from Burgess Noble if he
I had suggested to Manager Chap
man the possibility of putting on
an extra man during the rush
hour to assist in collecting fares.
Burgess Noble stated that he had
suggested this to Manager Chap
man hut he stated that this would
be impossible as the company was
not making any money. Burgess
Burke stated that the company
puts on an extra man in Waterbury
during the rush hour. Burgess
Sheridan expressed the opinion
that the board was being given a
run-around by the Waterbury man
ager. He said that Manager Chap
man. in his opinion, did not treat
the board right in the controversy
lie said the Waterbury manager
had not showed up at any of the
hoard meetings and it seemed to
he a case of where the board was
supposed to cater to him.
Burgess Noble expressed the
opinoin that the only solution of
the matter was to force the com
pany to collect fares at some other
point. Burgess Anenherg offered a
motion that the company he or
dered to collect fares at some other
spot. There was a question as to
the extent of the power of the bor
ough in the matter and Warden
Creen consulted Borough A tty
Martin L. Caine. A tty Caine stated
that he would like to have time to
go into the matter thoroughly be
j fore giving a correct opinion.
There were several angles to the
question he stated, one being that
it a state highway and there may
be a, conflict. Ho said he had an
idea of the procedure to be fol
lowed hut would not want to give
an opinion until it was a correct
one. The matter was referred to i
Atty Caine with power to act to
settle the matter.
Adopt By-Law
The hoard adopted a by-law gov
erning the conduct of members of
Hie fire department. This will be
incorporated with those already
adopted. The new rule reads “Dis
courtesy to the public, movements
tending to create dissension, crit
icism of superior officers or of
members of the department, or the
wilful ignoring of superior officers
or other members of the depart
ment shall be construed as breach

ingly.”

Well Known Family
Washington, Aug. 19.— (UP).—
Mrs. Belle Case La Follette, "wisest
and best counsellor" of the family
that dominate liberal political
thought and Wisconsin politics for
a quarter of a century, is dead.
She was the widow of "Fighting
Bob" LaFollette, who from district
attorney became congressman, gov

before his death in 1925, an Inde
pendent presidential candidate.
She was the mother of Senator
Ttobert M. La Follette, Jr., young
est present member of the United
States senate, and Philip La Fol
lette, now governor of Wisconsin.
The careers of her husband and
sons were Mrs. La Follette’s ca
reer. Khe made countless speeches
for her husband in her early cam
paigns. She was a valued member
of his political councils. She is
credited with aiding her son's suc
cessful careers.
in her husband's campaigns,
Mrs. LaFollette proved her ability
as a public speaker, addressing vot
ers from street corners or the back
seat of an automobile.
"She Is my wisest and best coun
sellor." La Follette wrote in his
auttobiograpliy. "Her grasp of the
great problems, social and eco
nomic, Is unsurpassed gy any of
the strong men who h.ave been asso
ciated with me in my work.”
After her husband’s death In
1925, Mrs. LaFollette undoubtedly
could have succeeded to his place
and have become the first woman
senator. But she rejected that
honor to help her oldest son win
the post.

PEACE IN EUROPE I
HELPED OUT BY
BIG NEW TREATY
Non-Aggression Between
France and Russia Was
Agreed Upon To-day
(Copyright 1931, by United Press)
London, Aug 19—A long step
toward peace In Europe was be
lieved to have been taken today
with the conclusion of a treaty of
non-aggression between France and
Soviet Russia.
The United Press learned that the
pact had been Initialed by repre
sentatives of France and Russia In
Paris, concluding negotiations start
ed in May.
The pact binds these nations,
two of Europe's most Intense polit
ical rivals since the World war, to
maintain strict neutrality In event
the other Is attacked witho'ut pro
vocation by a third power or group
of powers.
Otherwise, it was understood, the
agreement closely follows the lines
of the Oerman-Sovlet union neu
trality accord.
The conclusion of the treaty was
regarded as a significant mile
stone in the relations of France
and Russia In recent years. It
furthermore was believed certain to
have a strong influence on other
European- nations.
The Soviet authorities repeated
ly have charged France with par
ticipation in alleged anti-Russian
plots. The Moscow press, govern
ment controlled, frequently has
pointed to France as Ihe future
leader of the "capitalist war”
against Russia. French diplomatic
relations with Moscow often have
been severely strained.
The almost unbroken strain on
relations since the war, due In part
to the fact that Poland (considered
a foe by the Soviets) and France
are allies, has been Intensified by
such Incidents as the Ramzln Sa
botage trial at Moscow last fall,
when Raymond Poincare, the
French general staff and others
were charged with plotting an "In
terventionist war," against Russia.
The French edict of October, 1930
providing a licensing system which
virtually put an embargo on Soviet
Imports to France, added to the
strain.
The situation proved Irksome to
both nations, and negotiations were
begun for a commercial treaty
which also has been developed to
a "satisfactory" point, It was un
derstood in London.
Paris, Aug 19—(UP)—Repre
sentatives of France and Soviet
Russia have been negotiating for
a treaty of non-aggression, It was
admitted In reliable quarters to
day.
Officials at .the foreign ministry,
however, said that they "have no
knowledge" that the pact had been
concluded, as reported from Ion
don.
