urer's Successor Decided
on BY Coolidge
SUBMITS NAME
FOR APPROVAL
Burrell Alleged to Have
Misused His
Office

Boston, Sept. 4.-The resignation o1
State Treasurer Fred j. Burrell, which
was announced last night, and specula
tion as to whom Gov. Coolidge would
appoint as his successor, were the prin.
cipal topics of discussion in political
circles here to-day. Rurrell, who was
elected in the Republican ticket last
November, resigned as result of a
disturbance in the party that followed
repeated allegations that he had solicit
ed advertising from banks for an agen-
cy which he conducted.
In announcing his resignation, the
state treasurer said. Il do so not
because ! did any wrong, but because
the pain and anguish of mind that has
come to my aged mother and the mem
bers of my family by the unwarrant-
ed attacks upon me has grieyed me,
and rather than cause them any fur
ther pain, | am sacrificing myself"
He requested his supporters through
out the state not to vote for him at the
coming primaries as he has mo fur
ther wish to hold public office.
Although Burrelfs name is the only
one to appear on the Republican bal.
lot as candidate for state treasurer
at the primaries next Tuesday. the
Associated Republican Clubs of Massa.
ehusetts already had the consent of
James jackson TO oppose him on stick
ers. Mr.. Jackson recently resigned his
position as New England manager of
the Red Cross to make the race. In re-
ply to letter from the Republican
state committee suggesting that he
withdrew his candidacy Burrell refused
to do so.
Frederick N Kerr of Winchester also
announced himself as candidate to
oppose Burrell on stickers at the pri-
mary and Robert M. Washburn of
Worcester said he would run as an
independent candidate for state treas

In addition to the pressure, which
various political organizations had ap-
piled to Burrell in an effort TO force
him to relinquish his position, Gov
Coolidge has appointed legislative
to investigate Burrell's con-
duct of his Office. The governor also an
nouneed that he would no longer ap-
prove as state repositories any banks,
which continued to do business with
Burrell's advertising agency.
The audit of BurrelPs accounts as
state treasurer, which the executive |
council ordered State Auditor Alonzo B. |
Cook to make was another outgrowth |
Of the affair
The governor received the resigna- |
tion of Mr.. Burrell in the morning mail |

sion of the executive council for early |
afternoon to take action on his success

luthoritatively, had decided on man

opinion of Attorney General Allen on
certain phases of the matter, was to
iubmit the nomination to the coun-

developed a nervous condition which

The family of Arnold Sawyer, the
nine -year-old boy, who was badly in

bile running over him, felt much
pleased with his improvement in the

physicians will not be able to tell his
chances of recovery until tonight He
yomited considerable blood. He was
considered TO have about an even
chance of recovery Friday. His face
is badly bruised and gives him much
pain. He was able to talk some with
his parents last evening. Persons who
saw the accident differ in their opin-
ions as TO the speed of the automo-
bile. However, measurements show the
car dragged the boy 40 feet and, upon
estimates which have been compiled
upon brake tests, if the brakes were
working properly. the car was going
about 20 miles an hour. One witness
estimated the car went 75 feet, after
the child was hit.
