Joseph Waldron Has Thrilling Experience When Aerial Perch Gives Way At Lake And High Streets Corner.
Wires Pulled Down, Break ing Off Telephone and Electric Light Service
 and Blocking All Traffic.

Held to a 35-foot electric light pole by a sturdy lifebelt, Joseph Waldron, an employe of the Southtrn New England Telephone Co.,, figured in a sensational fall to the pavement on Lake street at noon today.
 Waldron was working on the wires close to the top of the pole when, without warning creak or movement, 1t began to drop. The lineman pluckily rode" the pole to the pavement, a drop of 30 feet in- volving a 47-foot spin through open space, and he fell with the rebound to the pavement. Fellow workmen ran to him, believing he had suffered serious injury, but they were re- licved to find he had only had bad jolt and minor bruses.
 The pele was imbedded in con- crete. Close investigation disclosed a rotted condition at the ground level, just above the concrete. 1t is be- lieved the strong wind of last night tended to weaken the pole and when Waldron began tugging at wires overhead the strain was too great.
 The crash brought a number of wires to the ground, several of which were broken off. Traffic at Lake and High streets was cut off for half an hour while crew of workmen raised the pole and strapped it to a tree.
 Telephone and electric light serv- ice was temporarily cut off in the locality of the break, but was re- stored after a short lapse of time.

BOSTON COP SHOOTS
 HOLDUP MAN IN DUEL
Himself Slightly Wounded But He Guards Prisoner
 in Hospital

Boston, Nov. 16 P--Three bandits were captured last night after d gun fight with a policeman who sur prised them in an attempt to rob a drug store in the Allston district.
 One of the men fell critically wounded with bullets from Police man Edward J. Daly's gun through his chest. Daly, himself, was slightly graZed by a bullet from the gun of Carl Gagillo, the man whom he dropped.
 It was the second drug store hold up of the night and police believe that with the capture of the three they may solve q series of similar robberies in recent weeks.
 The three men entered the store of Harry c. Cummings at 10:30 o'clock. Gagilo pulled a gun and forced Cummings toward the rear of the store. AS they entered the store Daly who was on duty nearby became suspicious and ran to a rear entrance.
 Cummings, who heard him enter called a warning and Daly entered firing. His fire was returned by Gagillo whose companions fled as he dropped with two bullets from the officers gun in his chest. They raced to a car outside anl fled, followed by shots fired by Daly who at tempted to pursue them despite a return fusillade.
 Two miles from the scene the speeding car caught the attention of Patrolman Orrin Taylor, who com- mandeered a passing machine and they were captured without resist ance. They gave their names as John J. Callahan of Cambridge and John J. Kelly, Brooklyn, N. Y.
 Earlier in the night a drug store in the RoXbury district was robbed at gun point by two youths who forced the proprietor and cus- toner into a rear room and took SS5.
 Gagillo was rushed to St, Eliza bcth's hospital, where 1t was found that one of Daly's bullets had pierced his left lung and another had lodged in his shoulder. His name was placed on the danger list. Daly. whose wound was superficial, mount ed guard at his prisoners bedside.

 IN FOUNDRY BLAST
15O Pounds Of Molten Brass Ex-

VICTIM SKILLED MOULDER
Thomas Mcehan Believed 10 Be Dying-Bottom Falls Out of Crucible-Friend RusbcS Injured Man to Hospital.

New Haven, Nov. 16 R-Thomas Meehan of 34 Chapel street is in St. Raphael's hospital with slight chances of recovery as the result of an explosion today in James Gra- ham & Co.'S brass foundry, where he was employed as a founder. Sev- eral other workmen were knocked down and bruised by the concussion. but he was the only one seriously injured.
 Meehan was looking at cruclble 150 pounds of white hot brass from the furnaces when the bottom dropped out of the crucible, letting the metal fall hack into the fire. As the moulten brass flowed in to the pit under the furnaces ter rife explosion ensued.
 Terrific Explosion
 All the other men in the room were thrown from their feet. Some of them were thrown a considerable distance. Windows and skylights were shattered. The explosion raised 8 cloud of dust which prevented the men seeing just what had happened.
 When this subsided they saw Meehan lying on the floor covered with moulten metal. His clothes were burned, the upper part of his body was severely burned and his fare Npaa bo dlv put
 Rushed 10 Hospital
 An ambulance was summoned. Before it arrived, however, a fellow workman took Meehan to the hos pital in his car. Te man Is not eX- pected to live. Has has a wife and several children.
 Foundry officials are at q loss 10 explain the explosion. At first they thought it might have been due to moulten brass falling into water that had collected during the nights rain. Investigation showed the sur roundings dry, so they abandoned that theory. They now consider it probable that gas had accumulated under the furnaces and that this was ignited by the hot metal.
 Mnehan was known as a skilled mouldcr and a careful man. offi- Cials said.

SUPREME COURT
 RULES ON DEBTS
Exchange Rate When Due Basis
 Of German Payments
QUESTION IMPORTANT ONE
Case Is Considered a Test Case and Probably Will Decide Large Num- bcr of Claims Awaiting Adjust mont

mcnt.
 Washington, Nov. 16 R--Pre- war indebtedness in German marks due an American from a German whose property was seized by the alien property custodian must be paid at the rate of exchange which prevailed when the debt was due, the supreme court ruled today.
 The court also ruled that the American creditors were entitled to interest during the period of the war and in this connection 1t overruled the lower courts.
 Cross appeals by the alien prop erty custodian and others and by Ladeenburg, Thalman X Co.,, of New York, figured in the case.
 The question is regarded as 9, test on which large number of claims depended.
 Broadly the decision involves the question whether the American claimants would collect their bills in dollars on the basis of IT F cents per German mark, the exchange value when war was declared, or would receive practically nothing, should the value of the mark at the close of the war be used.
