 On what had been decided was to be the last boat ride of the day, Mrs. Watts and the 2s children set forth on the little lake which is three quarters of a mile long and about 300 yards wide and not more than 2 feet deep, while the crowds on shore waved and called cheerful greetings. When the craft was in the middle of the lake the children moved 10 one side while waving to their parents on shore and the dou- ble boat suddenly tipped In air and turned over.
 The increasing darkness made rescue work difficult and heart rend- ing scenes were enacted as frantic fathers and mothers tore their way sobbing through the crowd in search for their children ignorant of whether they were alive or dead.

Manufacturers Force Change
 h Coming Law Restrictions
Claim Industries Would Be Seriously Hampered and Expansion in Some Lines Forbidden.

Severe objections to the provisions Of Section 10 of the zoning or dinance were raised by local manu- facturers at their meeting with the ordinonce committee yesterday aft = ernoon at the Chamber of Com merce, the principal one being in re- gard 10 the proposed prescription of me manufacture of certain products. There are many things, the making or which are forbidden by the pro- posed ordinance, which are now manufactured in New Britain, and, while the zoning scheme Nould not stop the present industries it would prevent future expasion. The manu- lecturers made it plain that these provisions must be revised if they are to support the ordinance, and the committee agreed to make any reasonable changes asked by the factories.
 Celluloid making and processing are banned by the ordinance, and this would prevent any enlargement of activities in this line by Landers, Frary X Clark. The forbdding of lacquering, electroplating and gas manufacture would affect other con- cerns, notably the Stanley Works. in the same manner. The ordinance ex- cepts their manufacture "as a minor and necessary incident" but this phraseology was found vague.
 The ordinance committee agreed to cooperate with the manufacturers, whose support will be needed in put ting through the zoning plan, and Secretary Ralph L. Gould of the Chamber of Commerce, was in- structed to draw copies of the zoning map and send copy, with the pro- visions of the ordinance which af- | feet manufacturers, 10 each factory in the city. The concerns will then be given a chance to make recom- dations as to the revision of the or dlnance.
 A tour of inspection was made by Councilman David l., Nair, chairman | of the committee: Councilman A. N. Rutherford, Councilman Thure Bengtson, Chairman r. NJ. Zimmer- man of the board of assessors, Sec retary Gould and Appraisal Engineer Thoma5 Linder before yesterday meeting. Several places about which there are differences of opinion were 1 examined by the committee.
 The Yung estate on Corbln avenue was inspected, and this will probably be restricted to two-family dwellings Other points looked over were kensington avenue, Cherry and Ellis streets, Bain street. Stanley street near Pleasant and from Lake Boule- yard to Euclid avenue, and Allen street. Action will Dt taken later.

RABBI AARONSON WILL
 LEAD ORTHODOX JEWS
Statement Issued by Com- mittee in Charge of
 New Enterprise

The committee of orthodox Jews In charge of the erection of new synagogue, proposed for the Massey property on Winter street, at a meet ing held last night, issued the fol- lowing authentic statement regard- Ing the new institution
 The proposed synagogue will be strictly orthodox fully in accord with Jewish traditions. It will be open to all Jews for worship. The need ot q new congregation has long been felt by the local Jewish community. The present structure on Elm street, built years ago, which has served both as q synagogue and a Hebrew school, is now inadequate for both purposes due to the increase in the Jewish population here.
 At q recent meeting of pronl..>ent and active members of the orthodox community, it was decided 10 pur- chase d suitable lot for the new building. A committee vas appoint ed and 1t was successful in obtain. Ing lot on Winter street. This was purchased for the new congregation which was incorporated under the name of Tiffereth Israel, which translated means The Glory of Israel
 Rabbi Joseph H. Aaronson who is taking an active part in the pro- motion of the new synagogue, will be it's spiritual leader. He Is true representative of orthodox Judaism and possesses profound knowledge In talmudical lore. His traditional conduct in life's affairs carries great influence with his co-religionists. He obtained his education in Europe graduating from one of the most famous Rabbinical seminaries with great honors. Rabbi Aaronson has conducted the religious affairs of the Jewish community for the last three years and during that time has dis played himself as q real spiritual leader not only in religious mat ters but in the promotion of public interests.
 Future plans are yet to be made and when found workable, will be announced. AS may be expected the first steps in building & synago have produced great joy and harpi- ness among local Jews and the workers look forward 10 8 successful completion of the undertaking"

INCOME TAX CUTS ARE LOGICAL ONES
Coolidge Looks for Reductions
 All Along Line
AWAITING FINAL FIGURES
Then Will Announce What He Be lieyes Reasonable Eigurc--Also Wants The Normal Tax Rate Low cred.

swampscott Mass. July tP- President Coolidge that next tax re duction in tax should be made on Incomes, all along the line.
 While leaving the actual prepar- ation of the tax reduction bill in the hands of the house committees and officials Mir. Coolidge hopes that 1t will provide for general reduction and at the same time make possi- ble greatest amount of returns in revenue.
 The President also stands on his previous pronouncement that the in heritance tax be reduced if not com- pletely wiped out.
 Awaits Final Figures
 Final figures on the condition of the treasry at the close of the fis- cal year on June 80 have not been received by the President and he is reserVing opinion on a definite tax reduction scheme until he receives this advice. He believes, however, that the present maximum SurtaX rate does not permit proper devel- opment of business and wants atten- ton centered particularly on these rates. Although treasury officials and congressional leaders have men tioned a possible cut in the present maximum surtax rate of 40 per cent to Is per cent, this Is the first time the figures of 12 per cent as a maximum surtaX rate has been of- ficially expressed.
 MT. Coolidge wants the normal rate reduced but here again he is leaving the plan in the hands of eX- perts.
 At the same time that the Presi- dents views regarding taxation were outlined, the statement was made that he believes the American debt funding commission will reach some satisfactory agreement with France, Belgium, Italy and other debtor nations during the next few months. The preliminary negotiations now in progress, it was said, have led to this belief.
