SAYS AUTO WAS
 READY TO KlDNAP
 GIRL OF IS YEARS

A sensational story of a~.fut1s 7rid- mapping plot, in which an. a.ubomUbi1a was pressed into service as a means of spirft1ng away 1s years old girl, reached the ears of the Charities au- thordties today, when Mrs Lobtis Boerum, 393 Pembroke street, asked the Charities officials to seek her brother, Walter Thompson, whom she believes to be in Norwich
 She said that Walters pretty Hftle daughter, Ivy. is now harbored at her home whither she fled after she had suffered borrowing experiences In NorwaIk. Alarmed at the supposed attempt to kidnap the child, MrB- Boerum has now turned to the author fties. She seeks police protection as we'll as aid in locating her brother.
 Mrs. Boerum says. that Waters sec ond marriage led him to place hls daughter in charge of relatives who neglected her. The child, badly scar red from burns, says that among other unseenly actions, relatives in the Nor walk home set fire to her hair which was almost completely consumed. Let ters to her cousin, Jessie, in this city revealed a state of affairs to Jessie'a mother, which led her to send the girl money to come to this city.
 The police were asked to locate the girl Tracking her to Bridgeport, they asked the Bridgeport authorities to take a hand. The local police decided that the girl ought not to be forced to return to Norwalk, and left her alone.
 Night before last, Mrs. Boerum says. the attempt was made to kidnap the child An automobile was hidden in a dark section of the street near her home, and she, becoming suspicious. kept the car under surveillance long enough to be satisfied that it was there to take the girl away. She kept Ivy under her eye throughout the night and then took the matter up with the police.

Believing that he has committed some objectionable crime from which he can only be dissolved by the most terrible death, self-inflicted Charles ". Golf, 40 years of age, formerly a resident of NorwaIk and Darien but more recently living at 997 Stratford avenue, this morning gained access to the American Tube. and Stamping Works in Stratford avenue and at tempted to hurl himself through the grinding hopper which feeds fuel and metal to a fiery furnace of 5000 de- grees heat
 His attempts would have been suc- cessfu1 had his body been but little smaller as he would have passed through the narrow apperture. Fail ing in his first attempt at going through head-first he again tried by sliding down feet first, when discov- cry of his awful spredicament was dis covered by stokers and he was extri- cated as he was passing through the mouth of the hopper above the molten iron.
 Upon the report of a strange luna tic being found in the company's yards badly burned Supt. Johnson accom- panied by Surgeon J. H. Finnegan ha astened to the spot where they found Golf suffering from first and second degree burns about the arms and legs. He was treated upon the spot and taken TO 1akeVleW nome Tor conI1ne- ment.
 Golf, who formerly lived in Darien, where he was well-to-do, removed to NorwaIk. Seven years ago he was committed to, the Middletown hospital for the insane and later discharged was again committed to Lakeview Home. He became so rational that about two weeks ago he was again released in the custody of his wife He has recurrent attacks of morbid insanity in which he believes himself guilty of a sin for which expiation by death is the only means of salvation to his soul.

SENATOR ARCHIE M'NEIL JR'S
 REPLY TO DEMOCRATIC TOWN
 CHAIRMAN MICHAEL J. DIVER

was glad that he was successful in
 landing the place. I am seeking no credit for helping him. would glad ly help as good a Democrat as Buck ingham any time.
 MT Dwyer is again in error when he accuses me of dragging his name into the controversy with Frank O'Rourke, chairman of the Seventh district. I did not mention his name in any statement which I gave out in this controversy. MT. Dwyer says further that my insult to Frank c. O'Rourke will be resented by the voters of the Seventh district Why, I have offered no insult to the chair man of the Seventh district; on the contrary, I was grievousIy insulted by him when he signed a petition alIeg- ing that I was not a, bona. fide resi- should be stricken from the primary lists. This baseless charge has already been dismissed by the city attorhey and the registrars.
 'I did make the statement that the primaries will show how MT. O'Rourke and I stand in the district, and I still stand back of that statement. I shall do everything that I can honorabIy to further the ganization' in the Seventh district, but will be ready 10 congratulate MT. O'Rourke. and his friends if they are victorious on prf-- mary night. I accept his challenge to see who is the better man in an open fight and promise him an hon orable and fair one. If the Purity Leagues tickets. are successful at the primaries this fall and their candidates are the choice of the Democratic city convention, I hereby. assure Michael J. Dwyer. town chairman and every other Democrat in the city that the nominees of the convention who ever they may be will have my loyal, en- taustastfc and sincere support.

State Senator A. McNeiI, Jr.,, today issued the following statement in con nection- with the interview pubIiShd in the local newspapers yesterday with Democratic Town Chairman M. J. Dwyer explaining his reasons for re- tiring from the trusteeship of the Con necticut School for Boys:~
 ''I have read Town Chairman Michael J. Dwyer's statement over carefully and regret that the real author of the article did not sign his name to it. If George Mara, William w. Bent. or Lynn w. Wilson are looking for a personal controversy with me, let them come out in the open and fight, instead of using the signatures of others to petitions and communications in the papers.
 However, as MT. Dwyer saw fit to allow the use of his name for the ar ticle in question, he is naturally re- sponsible for it's contents, even if he did not write it. He is correct in his assertion that he did not solicit the position of trustee of the Meriden School for Boys. Without any sugges- tion on his part I sought this honor for him, with no ulterior motive in mind at all, and regret exceedingly that he has seen fit to resign so hastily and for so little cause from. a posi- ton that would enable him to serve the state with honor and credit. .
 ''r voted for Denis MuIvihin for coun- ty commissioner in the Democratic caucus when he was selected by but one vote and I also voted for him in the senate. The record shows this statement to be true, and the tales by Republicans for the purpose of creating strife are too ri- diculous to discuss.
 'As for ex-Mayor Buckingham and the Workmen's Compensation. Com I did what I could for MT. R11clzineharn in my h1lrnI1le wav and
