SILENCE GREETS S250 CHARGE CLAIM
Coolidge Said to Have Taken Pay
 for Memorial Address
ENOCH WEBB, of Ias nearly ROO fIestenfI

Bridgeport Oct. 26.--Officers of the United Patriotic Societies, Inc, which was organized from the seV- era veterans and auxiliary organi- cations to take over the preparation of Memorial Day cegemonies, de- cIined to comment on the reported statement of Attorney Joseph J. De- vine in a Jersey City speech that President Coolidge while vice presi- dent had been paid s25o and ex- penses for making an address here.
 The statement of the Democratic national committee from Washing ton in which 1t was said everybody else donated his or her services for the meeting,' was questioned. It was explained that the expenses are met by the municipal government, and that all services are compen- sated, in connection with the Memo- rial day celebration.
 It has been customary to make an allowance for speakers, William r. Lounsbury, member of the execu- tive committee stated, but he could not say whether or not Vice Presi- dent Coolidge was remunerated. There was no reason why he should not have been, Lounsbury said.
 He recalled that Major General Henry T. Allen was the speaker at the last exercises of the kind.

WORK IN YALE DORM
 LIKELY ID GO ON
No Indication That Corporation
 Will Change Plans

New Haven, Oct, 27,-The Yale News today discussed the action of the prudential committee Of the cor poration, in the matter Of new Connecticut hall on the college cam pus, Saturday. The committee had voted 10 send signers of a protest petition against the dormitory uni- Iersity statement descriptive of the building and its needs released on Friday, and 10 inform them that in its opinion referendum on the con- struetion and reconstruction of buildings lis not a feasible way of administering physical properties"
 The News says the committee ac- ton indicates the corporation has no intention of stopping the construc- tion.
 The News says the information the , prudential committee obtained was given out in print four days before the university officially announced it, As to the objection against a referendum the News says:
 iAV tlCGllpll pl d lGH p'lllulIs on the campus is felt to entail mat tsrs of sentiment which place it in another sategory," and the demands Of the petitioners "could hardly be described as referendum"
 The News adds that "in all the present rabid discussion over the campus the president, Mir. Angel, with characteristic loyalty, has si- lently accepted criticism refecting on him but resulting from other peoples mistakes. Instead of clear sug himself, as he could easily have done of all blame, he has kept quiet for the sake of other individuals"
 The News says a complete mis- understanding is the most concise result of the controversy 10 date" It says that Dean Jones appeared be- fore the corporation and was asked if the faculty would approve the new building or not, and that he re- piled to an effect that he thought they sursly would. He didn't say that they had been criticized. The News says 1t may have been that the dean spoke too confidently, but whatever the dean did or did not do. the cor poration. without, so far as can be seen, anything more than an opin- ion for justification considered fur ther criticism unnecessary and plunged ahead with the whole busi- ness, The chief hlunder would still appears to lie with them"

tsncclal 10 the Herald.)

tSnccial to the Herald1 Ncwington, Oct. 2T.--Anton Fal. so of l5 Portland street. Hartford was killed yesterday morning at Maple Hill, Newington, wSen an au- tomoblle in which he was riding with party of friends turned oNel several times, throwing out all the occupants with the exception ol l1also himself. After an investiga- ton of the affair, John Castagno of q Portland street, Hartford, the driver of the automobile, was arrest ed by Constable Raymond Hollcran of Ncwington and was released un- der bonds of $lNpO for Il hearing on charge of criminal negligence.
 In the automobile with the dead man and the driver were Mir. and Mrs. Antonia Tusia and son, Dola- mick, of 209 Windsor street, Hart ford, and all were more or less in- .ured though it is thought not scri- ously.
 According 10 Castagno, tho party started out in a hired automobile from Hartford. The concern rent ing the car makes a speciality Of let ting cars out 10 be driven by mem- bors of the party renting them. He stated that when they were round- ing the turn in Elm Hill a rear wheel on the automob broke catapulting the machine off the road. It turned over several times and all were thrown out except Falso. Falso was pulled from the wreckage but he was dead. An examination of his injuries revealed that he had suffered several broken ribs, his lungs were punctured causing hem orrhages of the stomach and death was almost instantaneous.
 He was a student at the Hartford public high school and would have been junior in January. He grad uated from the Henry Barnard school in Hartford in 1922 with hon OTIS and was prominent member of the North Street Settlement Workers and was recently elected manager of the settlement basket ball team.
 He is the son of Mir, and Mrs. Giuseppi Falso of Hartford and be- sides them he leaves one sister. Mrs. Ella Pappagallo and one brother, John Falso. The body was removed to the undertaking parlors of Laraia and Sagarino in New Britain and arrangements for the funeral will be made there.
 The turn at which the accident happened is exceptionally dangerous 10 a strange driver, and although 1t vas not ascertained at what speed Castagno was driving, he insists that the broken wheel caused the turn over.
 The New Britain police were mo- tified of the affair and Policemen Michael Massey and John Liebler responded. They took Castagno to the New Britain General hospital but he left there soon after saying that he wished to be taken care of by a Hartford physician. He is now under a doctors care.
 Mrs. Tusia's condition became worse last night so that it is thought that she may have serious injuries. She is also being treated for her wounds. Her version of the accident is that the car wSle rounding the sharp curve skidded or else the wheel slipped from the drivers l grasp and veered off to the wrong side of the road, hit telephone pole and toppled over.
