ELECTRIC WIRE KILLS
 POLICEMAN AND YOUTH
Norwich Bluecoat Runs Against Same Cable That Snuffed Out
 Boys Life.

Norwich, April 7.--Second Ser geant John H. Kane of the Norwich police department 5S. and Herbert T. Spears, Is. were electrocuted last night about o'clock when they touched a suspension cable on an electric light pole on Crescent street in front of the home of Weston c. Pullen.
 The Spears boy had been play ing in the street with companion and just as trolley car was ap- preaching he touched the cable and dropped to the ground. r Sergeant Kane's death came when he too touched the pole when sent to investigate the boys death, all though before he received the fatal shock he had twice touched the pole without injury.
 Line Superintendent N. c. Pierce of the Norwich gas and electric de- partment upon being notified or the two deaths investigated but could find nothing wrong. The circuit was closed pending an investigation. The pole carried the wires of the Frank lin street arc circuit with 1000 volts and ground detectors at the power plant showed the circuit to be nor nal.
 Sergeant Kane is the first Nor wich policeman to lose his life in line of duty. He joined the force in 1890 as a regular and became tec- ond sergeant in 1912. He leaves his widow and three daughters all of this city

 FOR AIDING SICK SAILOR
Five on S-ff Commended By Navy Department for Mcritorious
 Conduct.

Washington, April 7.--The navy de. partment has officially commended five members of the crew of the sub. marine s-11 for exceptionally meri- torious conduct in connection with efforts to bring medical aid to sick seaman, marooned on the boat in Provincetown. Mass, harbor. Feb ruary 15, last.

 The official report of the incident that when George c. Vim, an en- gineer was taken violently ill aboard the submarine a severe northwest storm. which held the craft in the harbor. presented an apparently im- possible task of reaching the shore nearly a quarter of mile distant.
 Two of the crew failed in an at- tempt to reach it in the submarines 13 foot boat. and then Carlson. the strongest man on board" took the boat alone and succeeded in reach ing a schooner 50 yards ahead.
 Borrowing a dory, Carlson re- turned in it to the submarine and Carlson, La Chappelle and Osgood then succeeded in reaching the shore In the dory after an hours struggle against the wind and sea. They re-. turned with a physician to attend Winn. The men underwent the hard- ships of another fierce struggle in a half swamped boat, in which the water froze almost as it came in when

NEW YORK REPORTERS POKE FUN AT, SMITH

NEW YORK, March 3.-A song and story picture of Charles F. Murphy. chieftain of Tammany Hall brushing along with Governor AL fred E. Smith as democratic pres ioential candidate in 1924 was ex- hibited tonight at nirth- making dinner of the Inner Circle, new organization of state political writ CTS and the New York City Hall Reporters~a ssociation.
 In a musical burlesque the writers jabbed fun at everybody in poli- tics from the Pharaoh Tutankha- men down to Governor Smith, Presi- dent Harding, Mayor Hylan and a lot of lesser lights. The governor, himself, was an interested speeta- tor.
 Once the play harked back some 5000 years to depict Governor Smith in one of his earlier incarnations as King AwTut Tut of tn e. Common People. Evidently Aw-Tut had a lot of trouble with the officials Of his chief city including gas cutoff ordinances and ferry boat projects.
 The scene following was filled Tut-Tut's tomb and finding there some scrolls showing that Al Smith. in the incarnation of AwTut-Tut succeeded one Wa-Gee Harding as king. Among the mummies sur- rounding Aw-Tut-Tut was that of King Reel. of whom Will Hays is the present day incarnation. The finding of this treasure provoked a ditty entitled: The G. 0. P's Gone to Bust Since Willie Joined the Movies"

 WHEN IS EASTER DAY CHURCHMEN ASKED


 MT. CARMEL. Pa, March a. By United Press. )-Tne question of whether April l is tho correct day on which to celebrate Easter this year is raised by the Mt. Carmel Item, which asks for clergymen's opinions.
 If astronomical and ecclesiastical authorities are correct in their deduc tions. April s should have been desis- mated as Easter Day this year and not April i. This paper says: Easter Day this year, according to 1923 cal endars. occurs on othe same day as the Paschal full moon, while the au- thorities of old declared that it must come on the Sunday following. The World Almanac states if the full moon falls on Sunday, then Easter Day is cthe next Sunday. Professor De Morgan is quoted in the "Catholic Encyclopedia as stating that Easter Sunday is the first Sunday which oc- CUTS after the first full moon follow ing March 21. And this year the first full moon following March 21 will be on April l, at SEQ a. m., according to the almanac. If April 8 is the cor rect day for celebrating Easter, then ,the Greeks are the only ones who will be following rules maintained for ages.

 "The outrageous refusal of the re pubiicaA leaders to allow a vote ii Congress on the Henry Ford pro posal for the control of Muscl Shoals is. in my opinion the out standing infamy of the sixty-sevent Congress. It was shameful disr gard of the real will of the Ameri can people"
 Representative Almon of tn Eighth district said:
 "The work of this republican Con gress has been distinct disappoint ment to the country. There has bee much legislation for the benefit 0 the big interests and but little fo the good of the masses. The big an outstanding mistake was the failur of the Congress to respond to the de mands of the farmers of the countr and accept the offer of Henry For for Muscle Shoals.

M0REH HOUSE GRAND
 JURY TO TAKE UP M0BCASES MONDAY
State Will Ask for Indictments Against 50 Persons, At- torney General Coco
 Announces

NEW ORLEANS. March 3.-tBy Associated Press)-Attorney Gen. eral A. V. Coco and George $. Guiop left here tonight for Bastrop, La, where on Monday grand jury will be drawn to consider the evidence adduced at the recent open hearing into hooded band outrages in More house Parish, alleged acts of the Ku Klu Klan. Indictment sagainst to 50 persons will be asked by the state.
 T. Semmes Walmsley, second as- sistant attorney general, and State Senator Howard Warren of Shreve- port will join the attorney general the early part of next week.
 Monday will be given over to the organizing of the grand jury and the charge by District Judge Odon. MT. Coco said data pertaining to the murder of Watt Daniel and T. F.. Richard and the lesser Morehouse Tuesday.
 Mir. Coco said he intended to place the responsibility of the jurys &C., tions in the matter squarely up to the people of -dorehouse Parish. He said that if klansmen are selected on the jury he will place them upon their honor to indict for the crimes he will charge. In addition he said he would ask them 70 repudIate their klan oath and support that of the United States and the sovereign state of Louisiana.
 Mir. Coco said he would question the jurymen as to their klan affilia- tions but the fact of membership in the klan will not in itself disualty man to act as Juryman. A
 Six men on the federal rrand jury at Houston, Tex, Wednesday, ad- mitted to Federal Judge Hutcheson that they were klansmen," said MT. Coco. That game jury the next day returned an indictment charging Ed ward Young Clarke of Atlanta, for mer acting imperial wizard of the Ku klux Klan with violating the Mann or white slave act. Those six men who admitted their membership in the klan did theil duty regard legs of the oath of the klan and where a higher officer of their order was involved. I have hopes that klansmen, if there by any of the Warehouse jury, will likewise do their duty as the Texas klansmen did"

EVIDENTLY ITS OVER, FOR LAST REMNANT
 OF OUR BOYS RETURN

NEW YORK, March 3.-(By Unit ed Press)-"And they won't come back till it's over over there."
 Evidently it's over. for the last remnant of the American Army of Occupation arrived home today on the liner George Washington. The remnant consisting of Maj. Gen Henry T. Allen and 54 men who had remained behind when the bulk of the force sailed to wind up affairs in Berlin.
 In 1917 General Pershing with a few picked men in civilian clothes started for France as the advance pguard of the millions of Tanks who swarmed across later and ended the war. There was no excitement when Pershing sailed; there was none today when Major General AL len. also in civilian clothes, walked down the gang plank. the last man home from the war.
 General Allen will report at Wash ineton in few days and then visit his home at Paris. Ky. He said the Americans were sorry to leave Ger many, and the people regretted their 6eparture.
