Drew, who lives at the Elks club.

charge of driving an automobile
while under the influence of liquor
changed to violating the rules of
the road and then had that. charge
nolled when his case came before
Judge John Godillot in Town court
yesterday. Drew was represented
by Attorney Hugh Lavery of Bridge-
port.
Counsel for Drew claimed that
his client is suffering from heart
trouble. and that the liquor which
was smelled upon his breath was
prescribed by a. physician to be
taken at regular intervals as a steim-
ulant.
Peter Klemish of Greens Farms,
aJso charged with driving a. car
while under the influence of liquor,
had a novel explanation and the
court agreed to change the charge
to operating a. car with defective
lights. Kiemish claimed that when
his car figured in the accident he
was rendered unconscious. and
some friends poured the liquor
down his throat to resusciate him.
He was fined,$5 and costs on the
improper light charge.

M. Herrioc declared that Prince

Versailles which he said furnished
a basis of security. justice and law.
He cited the resolution adopted by
the third assembly of the League
which. in harmony with the league
covenant. gave birth to a concrete
movement for the reduction of arm-
aments. He insisted upon the im-
portance of the fact that eighteen
powers..in expressing their views on
the proposed pact of mutual assist-
ance. accepted the pledge of assist-
ance whether or not they agreed
with the pact u a. whole.
Great cheers were given when M.
Herrlot declared that it was France
herself who had proposed the arbit-
ration fcnture of the London agree-
ment for a reparation settlement. He
hoped. he said, that one of the re-
suits of this fifth assembly would be
the incorporation in its program for

declared France had no illusion that

mier Herriot alluded to the violation

buo rather because the opponents of
the endorsement resolution probably
realizing that the La Follctte sup-
porters would inevitably carry the
day‘; refrained from entering into
prolonged debate 'with the sponsors
of the resolution. The resolution
was passed. 48 to 32. with 14 dele-
gat~s not voting and 17 absent. The
opposition to the resolution came
mainly from Hartford delegates,
while the chief support for the reso-
lution was given by Bridgeport and
New Haven delegates.
'n the discussion that preceded
the roll call on the endorsemént re-
solution. the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties. were held up to ridi-
cule by the La. Follette supporters.

the following were elected vice-pre-
sidents: Daniel A. Gorman. of Dan-

Among the other resolutions pass-
ed was one urging the passage of a
bill in the next legislature requiring

ber shops.
A resolution proposing
salaries of compensation

86.000 aroused lively debate, but
was defeated. '

principal may be able to grade
the prospective student according
to the report card."
