Woman Urged For Governor In Connecticut Mr?. Josephine E. Maxim May Be Named by Demo? crats in Effort to Save Ticket From Defeat Crisis Confronts Party Extraordinary Action Is Planned to Combat Popu? larity of the Republicans NEW HAVEN, Sept. 15.?A mpve ment to nominate a woman for Gover? nor was launched among delegates to the Democratic State Convention in session here to-day. It is reported htat a large number of the delegates, as well as many of the leaders, be iirvB that such action would be a skil? ful policy stroke on the part of the Democrats of the state. Mrs- Josephine E. Maxim, of Hart? ford, was regarded as a likely candi? date. Thos3 who are urging the nomina? tion of a woman advance these reasons in support of their argument: Mismanagement of the state Demo? cratic organization by the Spellacy Fitzgerald-Longeran-Cummings leader? ship has displeased a number of the independent voters and something extraordinary must be done if success is to be attained in the November elec? tion. A woman candidate would be un? hindered by old factional alignments and could act independent of the bosses. A woman candidate for Governor would draw the support of many suf? fragists who otherwise would vote for Everett J. Lake, the epublican Guber? natorial candidate. It would be a nation-wide advertise? ment for Democracy of Connecticut. The strong compromise nomination of Lake assures Republican bucccss unless the Democrats do the unusual, it is said. The nomination of a woman might spell success. Thomas J. Spellacy, of Hartford, de? livered the keynote speech after the convention was called to order to-night. Numerous conferences were held, and it was apparent that the deadlock in the matter of selecting the state ticket due to the eleventh houT refusal of Homer S. Cummin?s to stand for the nomination for United States Senator, would throw the convention into a long session. Compromise names mentioned in the Senatorial speculation are: Represen? tative Augustine Lonergan, of Hart? ford: Assistant Attorney General Spellacy, Charles D. Lockwood, of Stamford, a law partner of Cummings; General Henry Bishop, of Bridgeport,, a manufacturer and capitalist, and Professor Henry W. Farnam, of Yale. Gubernatorial prospects are: Charles E. Hart jr., of Waterbury; Judge Jo? seph P. Tuttle, of Hartford, and Mayor David E. Fitzgerald, of New Haven. ii ? ? ' Meads Pleads Guilty to Killing Fellow Student Sentience of 15 to 20 Year? at Hard Labor Imposed in Dart N mouth College Case WOODSV1LLE, N. H., Sept. 15.?Rob? ert T. Meads, of La Grange, 111., the Dartmouth college junior who shot and killed Henry E. Maroney, of Medford, Mass., a fellow student, after a drink? ing bout in a college dormitory last June, pleaded guilty of manslaughter to-day. He was sentenced to Berve fif? teen to twenty years at hard labor in the state prison. Meads's plea and the sentence came unexpevtedly. The grand jury's indict? ment was for murder. Young Meads was .taken to the courtroom from the county jail in the automobile of his father, A. H. Meads, of Chicago, a law? yer, to make the formal answer to the indictment. At the direction of the court, the indictment for murder was read, and Meads was asked his plea. He replied "I plead guilty of manslaugh? ter." Again Meads showed entire self-con? trol, hearing the sentence without any show of feeling. His father spoke with him. and after a few minutes he was leturncd to the jail, where he has been since June. There his mother and sis? ter, who have lived near by all summer, awaited him. Maroney, a senior, who had passed all his examinations and with classmates was celebrating" the approaching com? mencement with a spree, was killed by Meads in Maroney's room, on the col? lege campus, in the early morning of June 16. The tragedy uncovered rum-runnins operations at the college in which Meads was alleged to have been a lead? er. Maroney, a senior, went to Meads's room late on the night of June 15 tc obtain more whisky. There was an ar? gument over the price, in the course ol which a part of Meads's stock wa: taken without payment. Drys to Seek Impeachment Of Lax Judges (Continued from page one) men who will not nullify the will of the people by making changes in the Volstead act, the very nature of which would be an over-riding of the Consti? tution." The charges against Federal judges were precipitated by a statement of Atticus Webb, Texas league superin? tendent, who told the conference that some judges in his state had been re? leasing "known bootleggers" with fines of $100, and that such sentences had put all such violators on notice to rer turn to the illegal traffic. "Some of those judges coddle the bootleggers and moonshiners down there," Webb declared. "Arrests have been followed by light fines in scores of cases and the criminals have gone back to make more. It is a serious situation and one that all persons be? lieving in proper law administration should pay attention to." Mr. Baker told the conference the way out of the situation was a "revolu? tion in this judge business." The conference was warned by Peter Schreiber, district superintendent for the league at Toledo, that their revel? ations were "only providing munitions for the wets" and urged that such crit? icism be held to th# minimum. The reply he received was a chorus of "No; let's tell the whole truth." Criticisms of the Bureau of Internal Revenue were made by Samuel Wilson, the league's attorney in New Jersey, who declared Governor Edward had "ma'de good" on his promise to have his state as "wet as the ocean." He said that enforcement of prohibition laws was "at low tide" in New Jersey be? cause of a steady flow of liquor through permits to wholesalers issued by the Federal government. "You cannot dry a morass," he con? tinued, "np long as streams flow into it. And the TJnited States government is letting liquor flow into? New Jersey through wholesale permits which we are* powerless to check."

Drunken Man Said to Have Kidnaped Baby Detectives Find Witnesses Who Saw Stranger Lift ) the Cirelli Child Out of an Unguarded Carriage Parents Are Prostrated ?Return Expected When the Intoxicated Custodian So? bers Up After His Prank Hope came to the heart of Mrs. Emil Cirelli, of 112 Main Street, Union Hill, N. J., yesterday for the first time since her twenty-month-old daughter Clara was stolen from the baby carriage Tuesday, The theory is now advanced that her child was stolen by an intoxi? cated man, who did not realize his ac? tion, and may return her as soon as he sobers up. Both Mrs. Cirelli and her husband were prostrated at their home yester? day, almost frantic with their grief. To them detectiv<;? reported that out of the meager clews obtained two bolster up the theory that the kid? naper was intoxicated. ? The man who took the child in the few moments that Mrs. Cirelli was! up stairs with her friend, Mrs. A. Zacchia, at 137 Union Street, threw a cigarette butt in the baby carriage after removing Clara. Andrew Duthie, of 528 Newark Street, six blocks from where the child was taken, reported he had seen an intoxicated man stag? gering alontj with a child in his arms. The description given by Duthie cor? responds to that of other persons who saw the man take the child out of the carriage. Detective Lieutenants Charles Gill man and Frank Stanford had been un? able to make any further progress than this up to last night. Cirelli is part owner of a tailoring and clothing store at 301 Bergenline Avenue. Yesterday he said he could not account for any motive in *he kidnaping. So far as he knows he has no enemies, he said, and does not belong to any Italian society, secret or otherwise. The kidnaper is described as wear? ing a dark gray suit and a straw hat. The baby wore a pink dress, red sweat? er, white silk coat and cap, brown stockings and black shoes. The child also had a gold bracelet on its right arm.
