HOLDS LACROIX
 BLAMELESS FOR
 W0MAN'SD SDEATH
Coroner Finds Horger Fatal ity Caused By Glare of
 Trolley Light.

Ray LaCroix of this city was held blameless for the death of Mrs. Julia Hopger, aged 62, by a finding made today by Coroner Phe1an. The coro- ner declared LaCroix was driving carefully at the time of the fatality but because of the glare of a trolley car headlight and rain on the wind shield, his view of the street was somewhat obstructed.
 The accident happened on Golden Hill street Jan. g last. LaCroix was approaching the corner of Middle street w4en Mrs. Horger started to cross the street to meet her son-in- law, who was waiting to talzS her to her home in Trumbull. GaCroix said he did not see the woman and did not know she had been, struck until he heard shouts from bystanders.
 Mrs. Horger worked in the Grown Corset Go. plant and was on her way home when she was killed. Wit nesses said she started to run across the street and evidently did not see the automobile.

COMMISSIONERS
 TO GET RULING
 ANENT REFUNDS
Cannot Decide Which Lii quor Dealers Are Entitled
 to Money Back.

The question of which liquor deal CTS are entitled to refund has prov ed a puzzle to the county commis. sioners and they will probably ask State Attorney General Healy to make ruling on the question within a short time. Within the past few days many dealers have visited the offices of the commissioners in the county courthouse and all have de- manded a refund regardless of whether they have been using the IL. cense since July 1. 1919.
 The law simply provides that the money shall be refunded to the deal CT for the unused portion of his 1i- cense when he surrenders the license It does not state definitely when the surrender shall be made. Commis- sioner Frank B. Ballard stated this morning that it will be difficult tc prove whether a dealer has beer selling under his license since last July.
 No money has yet been refunded because it is a lengthy process, re quiring a requisition on the treasurel of the place where the dealer is To cated and the return of the money t it back to the dealer. No none, was received for 1920 licenses, S, there will be no complications abou that. The commissioners took onl, applications for 1920.

AUSTRIAN WAR
 VESSELS HAVE
 BEEN DAMAGED
Principal Parts of Machin- cry Destroyed or Remov-
 ed, is Report.

Geneva, Jan. 17-Austrian war ves. sels which, under the terms of the peace treaty must be handed over to the allies, have undergone a sec ond "Scapa Flow" but on a smaller scale, according to a telegram re- ceived here from Turin by way of Lugano.
 The despatch states that the al- lied naval commission which arrived recently at Cattaro confirms first re- ports that the Austrian fleet had been seriously disabled.
 The Austrians were said to have de- stroyed or removed the principal parts of the machinery of the ships, render ing them incapable of navigation, only the hulls remaining in good condition. Repairs, it is said, will require several months before the vessels can be made ready for the sea.
 The fleet includes one battleship, 30 large cruisers, four torpedo cruisers, F torpedo boats and some smaller craft.
 The Austrians are declared to have acknowledged the damage but have blamed the Czecho-Slovaks and the Jugo Slavs. The ships eventually will be lowed to Toulon and Marseilles fol repairs.

In this way the board hopes to ctnter the responsibility and they make no bones about saying that changes in administrative policy must be made at once.
 l The president of the Board of Ap- portionment in speaking of Superin- l tendent Slawson buying books which l were later removed from schools when they were protested by the Irish resi- l dents and it developed that he had no authority, said that the audit 1 would show this up and that MT. i Slawson was engaged to meet the ed ucational ends and not run the board i or the finances of the department. l It was stated this morning that the l audit has already reached an exami- nation of the second year books and it is expected to be completed by the | middle of next week.

ssSOViet'' In Power
 Al Prison
Sweeping Investigation At Fort LeavenwOrth
 Is Ordered. PRISONERS WERE
 OPENLY MISUSED

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. IT. -Preparations for carrying into effect orders of Federal Judge John c. Pollock, that a sweeping and compre- hensive' investigation be made into conditions at the federal disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kan |sas, were begun today by Fred. Robertson, U. S. Dis trict Attorney for Kansas.
 MT Robertson said his plans as yet were entirely tentative. He added, however, that he expected to go fully Into charges made yesterday at the trial in Kansas City, Kansas, of eleven former inmates of the barracks that for several months in 1919 the institu- tion was governed by a soviet com mittee of prisoners and that their re- gime, sanctioned Joy the officer who was commandant at the time, devel-
  which crime fourished and prisoners openly were mistreated. The com mittee, it was declared came into ex- istence as part of the settlement of general strike called in protest against the release of 113 conscien- tious objectors.
 As evidence that Judge Pollock be- lieved the barra cks investigation should be far reaching, court officials today pointed to his instructions to the jury in the trial at which evidence was brought out. Judge Pollock said
 That portion of the case which to 1 the mind of the court is one of the most unusual and singular things | that has ever been heard in the his 1 tory of this government, one of the | most unusual situations ever present | ed in a court of justice, is this. They | had a strike in the military prison; the convicts refused to work; with the approval of the government this in 1 stitution was turned over to be run by committee elected by the pris- oners. Those there for punishment operated the prison. As a result o1 l this situation there grew up what any i reasoning man should have knowr would result, a rule of anarchy, cor 1 IupGlOH, dIlo S4QSSIHS oliOIl, mob rule.

Headquarters in London Received No Corporations Ten Months Before We Finally Came to Aid of Allies - Department Interfered.

Washington, Jan. IT, Rear Admiral Sims told the Senate committee investi- gating naval awards today that when he was ordered to England in March, 1917, just before the United States en- tered the Svar, he was in structed by the Navy De- partment ''not tc let the British pull the wool over your eyes'' and that Eve would just as soon fight the British as the Central Pow ers."

U. s. Aerial Mail Held to Garry Medicine to
 Fordham Hospital. HOPED TO REACH
 NETWORK, AT 5

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The United States aerial mail plane to New York was de- layed this morning to wait for a package of anti-toxin, rushed by automobile from the University of Illinois at Urbana and which is urgent ly needed at the Fordham hospital in New York for treatment of three cases of food poisoning.
 The call for the anti-toxin was re- ceived at Urbana at o'clock this morning in a message from Dr. John Riegelman, medical examiner of the Bronx which said the package must be in New York in less than 24 hours or 1t would be too late. Because trains do not make the trip quickly enough 1t was suggested the anti toxin be forwarded by airplane
 4A D. <al1C CRg 1IIdlldS0I Ol l1lS CIl1lSO States mail service here was appealed to, ahd promised to hold the first mail pla1e,, scheduled to depart at day. break, until the precious package was received.
 Two girls in New York, whose pa rents and two brothers died after eat ing tainted olives, and a youth, who also was stricken, can escape death only by use of the anti-toxin, attend ing physicians believed.
 The anti toxin was perfected by Professor Robert Graham, head of the chemical department of the Univer- sity of Illinois, and first was used at Detroit in the cases of a, number of persons who had fallen i'll after eating olives.
 In the Detroit case five persons who attended a dinner October g, died within four days of a srange food poison, newly discovered and called botulism. Two others were danger ously i'll for weeks. All had eaten ripe olives.
 pr. Graham announced he had per fected an antf-toxin for botulism and physicians administered to the two sufferers. They recovered. pr Riegelman announced the new remedy gave great promise.''
 Botulism, physicians say. is a taste less, odorless but frightfully poten poison, deposited in the food by 2 germ, which in itself is impotent. I cannot live in air, does not thrive ol give off poison in the warmth of thf body, but lives and breeds in sealed cans or oxygenless jars. There is no way to detect the pres ence of botulism, physicians says. The anti-toxin arrived shortly afte o'clock from Urbana, but carbureto 1 trouble delayed the start of the plan still further. At 9:45 a. m. me chanics were still struggling with tn motor, but the pilots expressed hop that they could reach New York b, l 5 P. M.
