DAUCHERTY RECORDS
 HID FROM SENATORS

Washington, Oct. z5.-The senate committee that is investigating the de partment of justice under Daugherty has failed to secure the books of the brother of the former attorney general, who is a banker in Washington Court House, Ohio. The committee Is asking the courts for an early decision that the banker present his books.
 The attorney general did not appear before the committee. This is his legal right, though his refusal to appear is .considered an acknowledgement that he has something to conceal.
 What that something" is can be in- ferred by a statement by Senator Ashurst, last summer, who declared that Daugherty's refusal was subtle and dis ingenious"
 In urging his colleague to read the seven volumes of testimony before the committee, Senator Ashurst presented this sensational summary:
 "The testimony lays bare in the de partment of justice cupidity and revenge under the regime of MT. Daugherty; i frequently exhibits the itching palm oi an extended official hand; it runs the gamut of human emotions. Attempts to stir up revolution anc | incite rebellion in the territory of . neighboring friendly country have . place in this picture.
 "Such illegal plots, counterplots, es. pionage, decoys, dictagraphs, thousand dollar bills and the breaking of lock! and the exploring of senator's offices come and go in the pages of this testi mony These devices, these plots, coun lterplots, spies, thousand-dollar bills anc ubiquitous detectives were not employed by the former attorney general to de tect and prosecute crime, but were ire quently employed to shield prohteers bribe takers and favorites."

LABOR ACCIDENTS IN
 CZECHOSLOVAKI IN 1923

Labor accident statistics comrnuni- cated to factory inspectors in Szecho- slovakia in 1923 show a total number og 36,975 accidents as against 33,58O in 1922, of which 271 were fatal as against 276 in 1922.
 The number of accidents is, 1t will be seen, tending slightly to increase The reason is that account is now taken of accidents which were not previously registered, and also that, inexperienced workmen are being employed on dan gerous work.
 The number of accidents Is divided as follows among the various branches of industry, according to statistics re- ceived by the International Labor Office:
 Extraction of raw materials......, 1078 Blast furnaces ............................. 45l Stone quarrying and glass works 2os1 Metal working industry ........-.....-..- 1910 Mechanical engineering .................. 6258 Wood industry .............................. 2556 Textile industry 2SO4 Manufacture of foodstuffs............. 2443 Chemical industry .......................--. 1402 Building industry ..................-....... 584S Miscellaneous ............................ 5o3S

RockveN Park Lagoon Guard
 Returns 10 Grind On Gndiron
Grafton o'Connell, Life Saver, Goes Back to Bos- ton College to Train for Football Season.
Especial to the Herald.)

lbpecial to the Herald.)
 Bristol, Sept. 19.--After a summer replete with activity, which meant an average of three to four lives saved day, Life Guard Grafton o'Connell of the Rockwell Park bathing lagoon has entered upon his training with the Boston Col lege eleven to add to his laurels on the gridiron. It was the local boy who tore off a 30 yard dash in 1921 for touchdown which broke up the annual classic with the Holy Cross eleven. which had arrived in Boston fresh with victory over Harvard. The following year O'Connell, in his old position at right end, paved the way for Holy Cross" downfall by a brilliant recep- tion of forward pass and run over the chalklines to score.
 Guard O'Connell has been in charge of the bathers at Rockwell Park for the last three years and, during that time, his rescues have been a source of city-wide comment.
 On one occasion during the last summer, three helpless bathers were pulled out almost within five min utes of each other. With hundreds of bathers in the pool at one time a guard must keep a sharp eye about the waters.
 This occurred one afternoon last July when an apparently good swim mer was seized with a cramp in a deep part of the pool and went down. Swimmers nearby thought that the man was fooing and paid no attention but not so with Guard O'Connell. He jumped into the wa ter and forging his way to the scene dove down to reappear with the helpless swimmer in his grasp. The man was removed to the shore and recovered only after strenuous ef- forts at resuscitation.
 Being of a modest nature, MT. O'Connell has taken his rescues more as a matter of course and rarely has made mention of his rec ord. His commendable work could not escape observation, however, as members of the park commission as we'll as citizens quickly realized that Rockwell Park had lifeguard Of more than ordinary ability and one who took his post seriously His ex- treme care in handling young swim mers at the lagoon and his vigilance brought many words of praise when his name was mentioned and the park commissioners made sure that he would resume his duties when the college term ended for the sum- mer.,
 Grafton O'Connell is native boy the son of the late pr. T. G. and Mrs. O'ConnelI of Main street. He attended the Bristol high school

has been increasing at the rate of 1000 each year and. with the in creasing registration Of automobiles resulting in street and highway traf- flc problems which cannot easily be solved. 1t is probable that the an- nual death rate may be in the neigh borhood of 30,OO0 in 1880.
 "'rhe collection of public accident statistics and their analysis is prob ably the most important phase of ac- cident prevention work at the pres ent time. Col, James Sinke, director of public safety of Grand Rapids, Michigan. will explain the system under the universal accident report forms adopted by the National safe- ty Council, Mark Groves, New York state tax commissioner, will outline the organization and operation of the New York Motor Vehicle Bureau which keeps an accident record for every motor vehicle driven in the state. Many well known leaders of the safety movement will speak.

where he won renown as an athlete and later attended Dean academy. At the latter institution. he served as captain of the football eleven for two seasons. After his graduation, he entered Boston College, where his athletic prowess soon demonstrated itself, He readily won post on the eleven and his football letter, so that he was regarded as mainstay of the powerful team.
 His friends anticipate greater hon. ors for him this fall, as he Is in the pink of condition due to his strenu- ous summer.
 In addition to being an athlete of much promise, MT. O'Connell is a cartoonist of no mean ability and his sketchings have already appear ed in the newspapers of Boston and vicinity as well as in local publica- tions. He was prominently known as an illustrator of great merit prior to his collegiate career.
