FATHERS DEATH WAS ACCIDENT

Accidental death is the finding of Coroner John J. Phelan in the death of Michael Marina, who was killed on the Brewster turnpike one week ago in jumping from motorcycle sidecar to save the life of his daugh- ter riding with him at the time. Coroner Phelan held the inquest in Danbury and the testimony brought out that F'arina and his daughter were in the sidecar, while Victor Berradi was the driver. Nearing Storm s bridge a sharp curve heightened Farina so much that he placed his daughter in his seat and jumped. The momentum of the motorcycle hurled him over a fence and upon the rail road tracks, striking upon his head. His skull was crushed and he died within a short time. His daughter escaped unhurt, the the driver was bruised somewhat.

Washington, May 1-Forewarned by the Department of Justice, those responsible for the maintainence of order in every city and industrial cen ter were prepared today to act at the first sign of any disorder inshgated by the radical elements. While re- ports continued to arrive that Com 1nunist agitators were still doing all in their power to arouse the workers to a May Day show of power.'' early today no instance of violence mad come from any source.
 Assistant Attorney General Garvar expressed the opinion that the pre- cautions taken had materially damp ened the ardor of the radical leaders. Special care had been taken to safe guard the members of congress, the three federal judges and an attorney known by the department of justice
 to have been selected by agitators for assa sSination.
 Agents of the department were in-
 structed to keep in close touch
 through the day with the radical groups to report developments, and
 to cooperate with the authorities in the maintenance of order but not to ''incite'' or excite the paruci pants. MT. Garvan announced an amazing amount of money had been spent by the Communist Labor party in the distribution of propaganda and in preparation for demonstrations The 1 money had been traced, he asserted to Amsterdam where it had been sent from Russia. Much of the liter | ature in the possession of the depart ment indicated the work of Russian agents and numerous calls for dem onstrations were made in the rame 1 of Soviet Russia.
