FATALITY RECORDS NOT
 ALL PROPERLY LISTED
Motor Vehicle Dept, Checking Up On Automobile Deaths Credited
 in state Cities

Hartford, Dec. IS tP'--Bclioying that certain cities of this state have IIncn credited in national surveys of motor vehicle fatalities with deaths Vhjch resulted from accidents occur ring elsewhere, the state motor ve- hicle department has brought the matter to the attention of the Ma tionaI Automobile Chamber of Com Im"r,r.
 It has been pointed out that deaths in hospitals within cities as 8 result of injuries sustained in accidents outside of the cities are chalked up
 in some of these national surveys as fatalities within the city limits.
 Most of the national compilations of this character are based on re- ports obtained from the health de- partmcnts or bureaus of vital sta tistics in the cities listed. Under ihis system, T man might he fatally injured in an accident in Branford
 and be taken 10 the New Haven Cen craI hospital. and when he died the fatality would be listed under New
 Haven and not Branford. This prac- ticc is thought by the motor vehicle department to account for the fact 1 that tho National Automobile Cham her of Commerce survey for the first nine months of this year shows 27 fatalities for New Haven, whereas inc records of the motor vehicle de- partmpnt and the New Haven police show only 3.
 Lesser discrepancies are shown with regard to Bridgeport and Hart ford.

Judge Advocate in S-5l Probe Declares Skipper of City of Rome Told Untrue" Story of Fatal Crash Off Block Island EXOnerates Undersea Craft Officers.

Boston. Dec. IS Pl-A charge that the story told by Captain John II. DichI of the City of Rome of the sinking of the submarine S-51 in collision with his vessel off Block Is land September % was "wholly un- true" was made today by Licuten- Commander Charles A. Lock wood, judge advocate, before the naval board of the inquiry inycsti- Sating the disaster.
 Exoncratcs Sub Crew
 Summing ID at a session of the court convened today at the Charles town navy yard, Commander Lock- wood said the S-51 was not at fault in any way for the collision, and that the City of Rome was entirely to blame. The judge advocate said the conduct of the City of Rome was "rcprescnsiblo." The S-51 he maintained. was a crossing vessel and as such had observed all the rules of the road.
 Commander Lockwood said that the fact that the S-51 was allowed 10 approach within GOO feet of the City of Rome without any action showed a lack of attention on the part of the officers and crew of the latter vessel. He described the City of Rome as q blind ship" with only one man in the pilot house 10 steer and kcp lookout.
 Flames City of Rome
 In questioning the story told by Captain Diehl tho judge advocate said the captain had not been in the pilot house at the time the S51 was sighted as he had said, but had come mp after tho first blast of the ships whistle.
 Tho collision. Commander Lock- wood said, was 'the result of neglect on the part of both officers and crew of the City of Rome and no blame attached to anybody in the naval service"
 Defends steamers Crew
 Earl Farwall, counsel for the own CTS of the City of Rome, who fol- lowed Commander Lockwood, said he did not think the naval board should take the responsibility of passing on the question of which vessel was at fault except 10 the extent that the naval personnel were concerned, The proper place for decision of this question. he said was the admiralty court where action already had been taken and an appearance filed on be- halt of the United States govern meBt.

Hennessy and Rutherford Will Visit Places While Gyrating Generation Is in Action.

 This sweeping drive is the result of a complaint now under inVostiga- ton that the Arcadia dance hall on Glen street shows effects during the Charleston speCialties there fea- turcd.i
 The inspectors are convinced the new dance results in far more strain than ccOInpanies he Waltzes, square sets, fox-trots and Frisco, as well as the more recent collegiate This conclusion was reached today after Inspectors F. J. Hennessy and Ar thur N. Rutherford had witnessed an impromptu exhibition and had then given the new dance their own interpretations. While the inspcc- t0rs might have lacked dancing grace. they excelled in the presen- lation of Charleston's shifting steps, rhich are the steps in which the fcared strain is created and against which they intend to protect patrons of dancing establishme
 Inspectors HenncSsY and Ruther- ford were at the Glen street hall for an hour today. After thorough Investigation they pronounced that building as unusually well built and capable Of withstanding enormous "rain. Whether the new dance creates too great a pull on the structure they will be unable 10 de- eide until they have visited it dur ing a Charleston speciality.
 Should the Charleston be banned 1T reini0-clmcntS be ordered at the Arcadia similar action is expected to follow in many other halls, as the building experts iuund excellent structural conditions at the Glen street establishment, better than Tn many other halls,
 l. became known today that ..-y"ral requests were mado of the u9iliing dnpwtment that precau- ',oH, be taken to avoid the collapse If dance halls during the Charleston t.ncos. These W""" usually gem ,'u in scope and the report con g ming the Arcadia VA the first n@citic complaint The department .'f no tim in visiting inc haul.
 The series of inspections deter uincd upon hy Inspectors lIonnossy mi tulhcrtor5 will require much """rlime work, since dances arg trl1 after working hours, but the 70 officials will prosecute their Nms without delay and continue 'ithout Interruption untih the todis .ra task has been completed, they toy" announced.
 Tuc general inspection Is not nJ'olicatcI on fears that conditions. i3 New Britain dance halls are any ,1uTe serious than elsewhere, but tu inspectors explain that they were ,liudful of H building collapse in Boston. which was attributed 10 the Charleston, and they arc determined il1, there will be no such occurrence o'rc if they can prevent it,
