have left a. political will which is
likely to have an important bearing
on the future of his constitutionalist

former minister to W'ashington. and
one of the most influential members
of the party. or Tang Shao-Yu. The

Unit Rule Put in Force

LEXINGTON. K52. May 15.——The
Kentucky delegation of 26 to the
Democratic national committee was
ln’tructed for William Gibbs Mc-
Adoo for the presidential nomination
after his supporters forced adoption
of the unit rule by the state con—
vention which adjourned here early
today after a session marked by
great commotion and disorder.
The unit rule was adopted after
three roll calls and over the strenu-
ous objection of supporters fo Os-
car Underwood. United States Sen-V
ator from Alabama. who asserted
their intention to take an appeal
from the decision before the national
convention at New York. since two
degelates from the Ninth Kentucky
District had been instructed for Un~
derwood. It was held, however.
that despite the district instructions,
the state had a. right to declare for
the unit; rule. .
The McAdoo forces dominated
the convention through a coalition
with the state administration. but
did not obtain their desire without a
bard fight. Four minority reports
wer erejected on roll call.
“I T. Bill. contending in behalf
of Senator Underwood made :1 vi-
gorous speech against the unit rule,
mentioning McAdoo's name in con-
nection with Teapot Dome. but was
howled down- He was unable to
make himself heard for several
minutes, and when he resumed it
was along another angle. ,
The convention adopted wha
was regarded as a veiled stand on

Duplicate Auto
Marker Puzzles .
The Local Police
The Norwalk police today are
investigating a counterfeit auto-
mobile marker which they have
in their possession. ' The marker
was found in the center of the
uptown district and turned over
to the police.
The marker is of considerable
better quality than that issued
by the state. Instead of being
of pressed steel. it. is made of
solid brass and weighs over a
pound. The number and letter
on the plate evidently were made
in a mold. The numbers are 8-3.
\Vhoever made the marker did
a skillful job even to duplicating
the sombre grey and black which
the slate paints markers. The
counterfeit marker will be turn-
ed over to the state police. Under
the law. an automobilist can
use a temporary marker if the
original is lost, but he must no-
tify the Motor Vehicle depart-
ment and secure new plates.

Today was a. double holiday in

desert their felt hats the women sue-
cumbcd to the lure of the magical
spell of Dollar Day advertisements
of the merchants in yesterday’s
Sentinel. with the result that long
before the opening hour of the
stores the streets were thronged with
eager shoppers. ,
Many merchants came to their
stores this morning and had to force
their‘way through the crowds to un-
lock their doors. Throughout the
day. the shoppers came alone and in
groups. And even some of them.
fearful of losing some of the wonder-
ful offerings brought the children
with them.
Two policemen were on hand at
the Bon Ton Shop in Washington
street. where a. hundred or more wo-
men congregatcd and eagerly clam-
ored for admission.’ They 'formed
in line. long before the store was
open, and as the morning advanced,
the crowd grew larger. Some women
left baby carriages on the sidewalk
and before entering, smilingly asked
the policemen to keep an eye on the
baby.

also drew crowds to the sales.
In connection with the South Nor-

flocked to take advantage of the
bargains offered. Although several
new clerks were added to the sales
force they were all kept on the jump
to take care of the visitors. At
noon over 150 women had registered
in the.Boston store book. ,To the
first 200 registered souvenirs were
given.

Of Police
Alexander Brady was found dead
in his bed this morning at a board-

conducted by Mrs. Thomas Reardon.
It is thought that he was accident
ally asphyxiated by escaping gas
from a jet.that was left slightly
open. -
The man who has been employed
at the Crofut and Knapp Hat com-
pany. seemed to be in good spirits
yesterday and it is thought that
when he retired last evening he did
not turn the jet completely off.
The smell of gas attracted resi-
dents of the building this morning
and upon entering the room they
found it filled with gas and Brady
lying in bed. The police were noti—
fied and Dr. Robert M. Wolfe and
Patrolman Reynolds went to the

Dr. Wolfe stated that Brady had
evidently been dead since about 12

At a Meeting of the Playground
committee held yesterday afternoon
at the Norwalk High school definite
action was taken to petition the City
Council at its adjourned meeting to-
tlon Commission of seven members
to be appointed by the mayor, this
commission to carry on the play-
ground work in Norwalk. According
to Chapter 245 of the State Statutes
of May. 1919, provision was made
by the legislature for just such a
commission, the members of the
commission to be appointed for
terms of five to seven years and at.
ranging for the term of office of
one member expiring each year. a
new one to be appointed in the va-
cated place by the mayor also. The
Statutes states that members of such
a. commission shall serve without
pay.
George Buchanan. superintendent
of schools. chairman of the Play-
ground commlttes and of the Junior
Red Cross committee. was designated
as the person to make 1he presenta-
tion to the Council this evening. It
was pointed out at the meeting that
Norwalk was the only large city in
the state without such a commission
and for this reason it was felt that
the State Statutes formed an oppor-
tunity for Norwalk to rank with the
other cities not only of the same size
but much smaller, in the recrea-
tional movement. Those present at
the meeting were: Michael Riordan.
Norwalk Playground Association
which had previously done its work
in Norwalk before the war. Miss

gion. Frederick Moran. Kiwanis

Whether or not Norwalk will have
a, permanent organization with legal
background now depends upon the
Council and Mayor and than is no
do other than give Norwalk an op-

pany him to a lawyer's ofllce. “'ar-
go did so, and there he was asked
what he intended to do concerning
charges preferred against him by 17-
year-old Lucy Salter of South Nor?
walk. \Vargo decided to marry the
girl. he testified before Judge John
\V. Banks in the Superior court yes-
terday afternbon.
They went di tly from the
lawyer‘s office to {g town clerk, ob—
tained a marriage license and imme-
diately appeared before a justice of

“‘argo. who refused thé'eafter to
Iiv’e with his girl-wife brought suit
to have the marriage annulled.
He claimed originally that he had
married under duress. but that
charge was withdrawn yesterday af-
ter “'argo admitted under cross-ex-
amination that he had consented to
the marriage and that the necessary
steps to complete it had been taken
_\vithout physical force having been
employed. although he asserted the-
