OPPOSES DRY LAWS
Boston Priest Declares That They Interfere With Liberties of the Private Citizen.

Boston, Jan. l8 R-Thc Rev, Charles J. Mcintyre, S. J., of St. Mary's church, told his congregG- ton yesterday that the prohibition law should not be enforced because 1t is immoral Tn itself and interferes with the liberty of the citizens
 The speaker characterized pro- ponents of the prohibition laws as fanatics and modern day Phari- secs" and criticized President Coolidge and his administration for permitting "a certain well known lobbyist to enter the senate com mittee rooms, as reported, and at- tempt to influence legislation
 Always remember that because a thing is a law is no reason why it should be enforced If that law Is immoral In itself. For the thou sands who are able to take a drink there Is no earthly reason why prohibition should be enforced on them.

GAR PLUNGES INTO
 RIVER, FOUR DIE
Twenty-Five Hurt When Trolley
 Leaves Bridge

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. IS Pt-The death list reached four today as a result Of the plunge Of a street car from bridge into the Ohio river at McKee's Rocks, suburb, the car having been pulled from the water without revealing additional fatali- ties. Twcnty-two persons were in jurcd, several seriously, in the acci- dent which happened last night.
 Miss Agnes Johnson, 23, was the only one Of the known victims to drown, her body having been found floating in the river soon after the crash. The two others, Mrs. Rebec- ca Mckee, 60, and her granddaugh- ter, Marian Signet, ', succumbed at hospital 10 injuries. Conductor D. [. Shell also was killed. All were residents of the Pittsburgh dist rict.
 River men from government lock continued to drag the bottom of the river in the hope of retrieving Shells body. II is also possible that other bodies may be located as there is no record of how many persons were in the car.
 The trolley was pulled from the water by the electric crane of a Pittsburgh and Lake Erie wrcCking engine, which was brought to the scene when the Pittsburgh Railways company emergency facilities prov ed inadequate for the task. The tracks of the railroad parallel the river ut the bridge.
 Wonder at the small death list was expressed by Pittsburgh railway officials and others who viewed, the wreck. The car, after leaving the rails at the approach to the bridge and plunging through q guard rail, turned over once before striking the water, 40 feet below. One end struck the bank and rested there, while the other end was submerged in water as far as the middle doors.
 A ragid investigation of all the facts surrounding the accident is in progress, company officials announc- cd in a statement.

S0UTHINGTON NEWS

The argument which cropped up over a week ago between Fire Chief John Cronin and a member of the 1 board Of fire commissioners has vir- tualiy been settled although 1t may be brought up for discussion at the next meeting of the board. l The altercation arose as to wheth TT the Southington chemical squad should answer all calls whether they be in Plantsville or Southington. Chief Cronin has stated that his or ders were 10 answer all calls regard. less of where they were while the commissioner who took him to task said that the squad should answer only Southington calls and general alarms.
 Property owners in Plantsville have expressed their approval of the ! ruling that causes the Sou.hinGton ] squad to answer all calls but others have stated that it is unnecessary to have the squad turn out for calls that the Huntsville company should cover.
 l 1t appears that jealousy exists be- tween the two squads and the mat ter came to a head when the South | ington company made a run about two weeks ago to chimney fire in PlantsVlle. The Southington truck travelled about mile to the fire and it is said, reached it ahead of i the Huntsville company, although l it's headquarters are only several ! hundred feet away from the scene of the fire. The Southington com pany took charge cf the fire and worked until it was eXtinguished. l The commissioner who started the altercation resides in Plantsville, but the matter is now regarded as closed incident between him and the chief.
 Mike Beck is scheduled to appear in the town court today on charges of breach of the peace and drunken ness. He was arrested at his home on the Old Turnpike yesterday Harry Maines. also charged with breach of the peace. will have his case heard in the town court.

Jamieson wishes to take no chances of losing the crop because of the open weather. Dog Warden Timothy J. Foley is making a thorough investigation of the route taken by the alleged mad dog which passed through town last | Friday. The dog is reported 10 have bitten at least seven dogs in its passage through Southington and these will all be killed to prevent spread of the rabies. The state quarantine $ still in force here and will be kept on until there appears | to be no more danger from 1t.

Girl Shot Through Heart :.
 Probably an Accident

Philadelphia, Jan. IS P-The death of Elizabeth Holmes, 16. shot through the heart yesterday at the home of James Hurley was probably due to an accident, police said to- day.
 Although their investigation was still incomplete, the authorities said the circumstances surrounding the shooting and statements of eye-wit- nesses led them to this belief. They have not, however, entirely aban- doned their original theory that the girl was slain and are searching for young man who was with Miss Holmes at the time and who disap- peared shortly afterward. The identity of this man was not dis closed.
