Chicago, July '. (By Associated d
 Press) Warrants for the arrests of
 the president and secretary of To- | peka, Kas.. local union of the Santa Fe shop crafts were issued today un- der the Kansas industrial court act with warrants for other striking union officers to be issued soon. The issu-

 been made over the country as the
 result of disorders caused by the strike.
 State troops were still held in readi- ness for action in Illinois but the governors of several other states had thus far refused to mobilize their military forces.

FRESH AIR CAMP FUND
 IS STILL UNDER $3,OOO
1925 Received Today Brings Total Up to Only 2,445.3O
 More Needed
CONTRIBUTIONS TO FUND
 FOR FRESH AIR CAMP.

| Twenty-Five dollars were received al Fthe Herald office today to be added t
 the sum that is being raised for thf 1 benefit of many of the less fortuna { children of the city, the benefit ot
 their bodies and their minds through 8
 two weeks vacation at the Fresh Air
 Camp in Burlington. The fund is
 slowly growing, too slowly, if we may
 be pardoned for saying so considering the character of the work. The pros pect of raising s4,ooo is still possible, however, and it is not yet time to call a halt to the negotiations.
 Yesterday afternoon 65 small chill dren made their way through the center of the city toward the Baptist church, where they were met by mem bers of the Rotary club and taken in machines to the camp. Could one have seen these youngsters and had one taken the pains to note their con- dition, a contribution from the indi- vidual would surely have been forth coming. Little faces, not overburden- ed with happiness and slight bodies, showing the effects of too little nour- ishment and fresh air, were on their way to a rebuilding process. There was an appeal in every face to the lover of children, there was that which caused the desire to do some thing for the child One of the finest things that could be done for them was about to take place-they were going on a vacation. Too bad, it is, that they do not parade upon their re- turn, then one could see what had been done
 Contributions to the camp fund will be received with pleasure at the Her aid. Send in yours if you can.

REPUBLICAN DRIVE 70 LIMIT TALK
 ON TARIFF BZLL FAILS w HENA 7E:
 BONUS H NEXT MEASURE ON SLATE
FEEL PAONESSA CAN
 TURN 65,000 VOTES Probability Is That Party Will Finance Campaign,
 Friends Say

Democratic leaders who have visited this city twice within the past month are making a systematic canvass oi the entire state in the interests oi Mayor A. M. Paonessa as candidate for lieutenant governor, and to the various cities and towns they are presenting the argument that Pao- nessas name on the ticket can be re- lied upon to switch 65,000 republican votes to the Jeffersonians.
 The visit of the party leaders to this city preceded announcements in out of town papers that a boom had been started to place Paonessa on the ticket it became known today. It is understood that the mayor made it clear to those who approached him that he would not finance his cam paign and that if the party felt he was of sufficient value from a vote getting standpoint it would have to furnish the necessary funds. It is said that the present canvass has been started with this understanding and indications augur well for the To- cal mayor landing a place on the ticket.
 In practically every quarter, Mayor Paonessas ability to draw the socall- ed foreign vote" is not questioned. Particularly among the Italian cleo tors is there believed to be very strong likelihood of switching many votes In New Haven there is es- timated to be 10000 Italians; in Bridgeport. 3o,ooo, and in Waterbury S5,ooo. Investigation discloses that 90 per cent of these voters are reg istered with the republican party With Paonessa a candidate, it is be- lieved an enormous turnover would result.
 In the meantime, Mayor Paonessa is making no effort to have his name placed on the ticket If the party wants him to run and is willing to finance the campaign, he is willing to enter the race, he has been quoted by friends as saving.
 Friends If the mayor and oppon- ents of the other, say that his ability to draw votes is so far greater than is the congressional candidate's- Joseph Nj. Halloran-and they antici- pate that New Britains place on the fall ticket will go to Paonessa in preference to Halloran.

WOUNDS PROVE FATAL
 TO DE VALERA'SLIEU7.
Charles Burgess, Who Tried to Fight Way to Freedom,
 Dies at Hospital

Dublin. July (By Associated Ramon De Valera's chief lieutenants died this morning from the wounds he received on Wednesday while try ing to fight his way clear at the sur render of the republican garrisons in the Sackville street area.
 Cathal Brugha (Charles Burgess) was one of the most prominent of the republican leaders who opposed the terms of the Anglo-Irish treaty.
 Brugha was De Valera's minister of defence in the first Dali Eireann cab met, directing the campaign against the British in south Ireland. When the terms of the treaty became known he declared his opposition to the past. His address against ratification of the past was one of the principal features of the debate in January last He accused Griffith of having broken an agreement not to sign the treaty until the document was sub mitted to the Irish cabinet, and he gave active support to the campaign of De Valera against the provisional government dIler the treaty was signed.
 He was a party to the pact be- tween the factions under which the June elections were held and was re- elected to parliament.
 When the dispute between the fac tions broke out anew Brugha sided with the insurgents.
 In the end he refused to surrender and dashed out of the Granville ho- tel where the insurgents were making their final stand only to receive mor- tai injuries.
 It was announced at headquarters today that the republicans had burned the Masonic hall at Ballinas- Joe, Galway.

SHERIFF REQUESTS
 LOCAL POLICE AID
Hartford County Official Wants New Britain Supcrnumeraries For Service
 In East Hartford Railroad Yard

Chief William J. Rawlings has re- ceived from Sheriff George H. Gabb of Hartford county. request that as many supernumerary police officers as possible be detailed for service at East Hartford, during the present railroad labor trouble.
 Today Chief Rawlings conferred with Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham and Chairman David L. Dunn of the police commission. Noth ing definite will be done in the mat ter until next Tuesday night when the police board holds it's regular month ly session.
 The matter of sending local police men out of town for work of this nature involves some possibilities and before any definite action is taken the board and the head of the police de- partment desires to know just where the men and the city stand in case any injury is sustained by an officer while. performing his duty. There seems to be an impression that an understanding should be had from the railroad officials as to just what stand will be taken under the en- ployers' liability act. Should one or more of the local men be hurt, it is not felt that the City of New Britain should be held responsible, and as there is no definite information as vet from the railroad officials this matter will have to te cleared up.
