MER|DEN BANK MAN
 IS UNDER ARREST.
Floyd BOardnan Accused Of
 Taking at Least $5,00O
PLEADS N0LO CONTENDERE
Appears Without Lawy,r and Is Bound Over to Next Term of Su- pcrior CoArt--AccWlnts At Bank Are Being Checked Up.

Meriden, Conn. June 27-Floyd D. Boardman, 26 years old, ot 26 Elm street, discoun: teller at the Meriden aNtional bank, pleaded nolo contendere In the police court this morning, to complaint charging embezzlement of not less than S5,0o0 of the banks funds.
 Judge Thomas P. Dunne found probable cause and bound the &C., cused over to superior court. The court further ordered man applica- tion fora bond could be filed as soon as the exact amount of the al- legged defalcations is known. Mir. Boardman held no counsel,
 Mir. Boardman was arrested short ly before midnight on a warrant charging theft and the warrant was changed this morning to embezzle- ment. The arrest was the after nath of an alleged discrepancy found In an account at the bank.
 Bank Will Not Lose
 Bank officials today were con- tinuing their check up on the books to ascertain the total Of the alleged defalcations which are believed will reach about $10,00o.
 President Harris S. Bartlett of the bank stated the bank will suffer no less as 1t is amply covered by a surety bond.
 Sports Failures Blamed Following the discovery of alleged defalcations in the books of the bank Boardman, who also is well known sports promoter, was locked up.
 Shortages charged against Board man are said to total about $10.- 900 and extend over rather lengthy period. Boardman's unsuccessful ventures In sporting events necessi- tating payments of big salaries to football players out of his own means are said to have been respon- sible for his present situation. Promoting these events brought about heavy expenditures, particu- larly in the equipment and salary items. The gate receipts were rare- ly up to expectations and 1t is be- lieyed Boardman became involved (Contlnued on Page 13)

 On the night of April 30. he dreamed that rhis wife had had her hair bobbed and had run away. OS May l he told her of his dream and both of them laughed. That after noon when he returned home from work at Landers, Frary &; Clark's factory, she had disappeared and he has not seen her since.
 q cant understand it, he uold the reporter. I've were very happy and never had a serious quarrel. She did want to have her hair bobbed .and I objected but don't think that would make her run away. But you can say that I still love her and will welcome her back again whether she has bobbed hair or not.
 The children miss hers as much as I do. The other night my little boy. David, saw one of his chums run down the street to meet his mother. The woman gathered her child up In her arms and kissed him. Then David came home crying and said: Papa, why doesn't Mama come home and hug and kiss me? l know she loves me"
 The story of Mrs. David's disap- pearance was told in the Herald yes- terday. Three of her children, David, aged eight, Katherine. aged six, and Virginia, aged three, a!e grieving day and night.

Doomed Vessel Rolls Over Twice, Then Sinks With Terrific Explosion As Boilers Blow Up.
Water 70 Feet Deep at Spot - Worst Disaster There Since Empress of Ireland Sunk With Loss of 1,O24 Lives.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press
 Quebec, June 27.-Efforts were being made today to recover the bodies of nine men, the whole crew of the tug boat Ocean King, which went down in the St. Lawrence river here when rammed by the Canadian Pacific liner Marloch.
 The Ocean King set out last night to tow the Marloch, a vessel of 6,4T5 tons inbound from Glasgow, Scot land, for Montreal, to its pier here. Seeing too late that he was ap- preaching too close Captain r. E. Stevens spun his vessel so violently that the tug listed, exposing the whole side to the liner.
 Terrific Explosion
 The Marloch's steel prov virtually cut the tug boat in two like an egg shell. It rolled over twice and sank, the boilers exploding as the water rushed into the engine room.
 Two of the Marloch's crew were reported to have dived overheard presumably to rescue the tugs crew. A check-up of the crew has not as yet verified the report.
 River 70 Feet Deep
 The river is 70 feet deep at the spot at high tide. The tragedy is the worst at Quebec since the liner Empress of Ireland sank May a9, 1914, with the loss of 1,o24 lives.

 After his arrest Baker said he had received his orders to participate in the plot from a mysterious Chinese, but later said the scheme had been concocted by himself and friend whose name he gave as George Bec- man. The later is bcing sought. Bee man, Baker said, cut the telephone wires to the Spreckels home in Hills borough as part of the plot.

COMMUNISTS IN
POLAND EXPOSE
BRUTAL MURDER
Socialists Laugh at
Workers Suffering
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WARSAW, (By MaiI)-At one Of the
last sessions of the Polish Diet the
deputy of the Communist faction,
Thomas Pristupa, disclosed In a
speech the activity Of the Polish Sec
ret service and emphasized the touch
ing care the Ministry of interior Is
taking of the police. We shall quote
the most interesting part Of his
speech:
III per cent of the whole budget
the Ministry of Interior is assigning
to the police. Not only has the per-
centage of expenses consumed by the
police increased, but the number of
this body also increased. In the year
1924 the internal police-force con-
cisted of 36,953 men, and the frontier
force 10,604 men. That made up
total of 1857 men. In March 1925
the number of police increased to
6l,9O3 men, not counting whole gangs
of spies, secret agents and paid plot
tiers, the number of which, according
to the statement of the officer Russi.
mex, can not be fixed"
Socialists Hide With Killers
When Pristupa disclosed details of
the base assassination of the workers
Gaichik and Pilarchik, who were
choked by poisonous gases and point.
ed out at the numbering OF Baginsky
and Vecherskovitch and others, the
Polish Socialists interrupted his
speech with mockeiy vxclamations:
Please tell us how many antigovern.
ment meetings did you organize" or
what do you care about the assassin
ations of workers"
