Miss Fish scantiIy clad under the
bed.
The attorney also charged that
Kresge was with Miss Fish in
Natick last August, and that last
February he was intimate with
another young woman in this city.
Lynch did not disclose her name.
Lynch declared Kresge's fortune
to be S265,0OO,OOO, and cited his
phiIanthrOpieS, including his recent
donation of $500,OO0 for the adj
vancement of prohibition in this
country. He said he merely cited
the gifts to establish the fact that,
being man of such wealth, it was
absolutely necessary for his wife to
live on a commensurate plane.
Although Mrs. Kresge received a
large amount of money from
Kresge in a pre-nuptiaI agree
ment, for waving dover rights,
Lynch said she had been forced to
spend all of it and 100000 in ad-
.dition for legal expenses in liti-
cation forced OH her by her hus-
band.

DESCRIBE CANTON
AS CITY OF DEAD
A 8 REDS LEAVE
Witnesses Declare That
Russians Commanded
'the Chinese Mob

CANTON, China, Dec. 16 CP--Can-
ton has been quite, aptly described as
a "city of the dead" since the suppress
sion of the communist peasant and
labor uprisings on Sunday.
Photographs confirm the ruthless
slaughter that occurred. There are
pictures available Of trucks loaded up
with bodies, piled three and four deep,
as they were driven through the streets
to burial places.
Long rows of corpseS laid on the
pavements provided gruesome evidence
of the vengeance wrecked on those
suspected of communist leaning when
the nationalists recaptured the city
later in the week.
The building of the Central Bank of
China is mass of ruins This build
ing served as headquarters of the ma
tionalist organization, and the fate OF
$4,000 900 stored in its strong room is
unknown.
l. Witnesses declare that Russians
commanded the Chinese reds in bitter
fighting. to the red defeat while the
Russian consulate was involved in ac-
tive direction of the rioters. These
statements are responsible for the ac-
ton of the anti-reds in tracking down
all Russians Every hotel haunt was
visited. Two Russians were shot down
near the municipal offices and five
others, including the vice consul anG
woman, were publicly executed.
The soviet consul general and /:
other Russians were taken through thf
streets as prisoners amid the applause
of the populace, who shouted theil

INCREASED ARMY IS
 FOUND ID BE CHEAPER

WASHINGTON, April 19. (P)-The Department of War, estimates that to discharge o1,OOO men, which at first seemed imperative because of the failure of the second deficiency bill to pass, would cost s5,497, ,24O whereas if the Army is increased to 115,000 as was originally planned. there will be a deficit of only $2,697,- S59. The cost of discharging 31,OOO men is due to the fact that they must all be given transportation home and also are given final clothing allow ance. Moreover, when the new fiscal year begins on July 1, and the Army will have funds for 115,OO0 men, it will then be necessary to recruit more than 30,OOO men so that the total cost of discharge and reinlist- ment amounts to nearly five and one- half million dollars.

BURGLARS GET $M0 IN
 FRUIT HOUSE ROBBERY
Place Conducted by Fl. Chesky < Sons at Elm and Seymour
 Streets Broken Into.

A haul of $200 in $. $1o and $20 bills and s in silver, in addition to a number of checks from Hartford and Bristol firms, was reported to the police today by H. Chesky & Sons. who conduct a wholesale fruit and produce establishment at the corner of Seymour and Elm streets.
 Sergeant P. A. McAvay found that wire screening had been ripped off a rear window and beaver board which had replaced glass was torn away. Boxes Of oranges were then placed against the doors which led to the cellar and toilet, while two fruit boxes and basket were piled on top of one another in front of the safe in the office, so that operations could not be detected from the street.
 The safe door was opened in some manner, although MT. Weinstein, one of the firm, told Sergeant Mc- Away he was positive it was closed at the conclusion of the days busi- hess last evening. The police believe this to be another in the series of burglaries committed by the same gang in various sections of the city during the past several nights.

CORONER INVESTIGATES
 DEATH OF MADISON MAN
Had Been Playing Carde and Sud- denly Expireo-HeaEt Trouble
 Probable Cause

Madison, Conn. May 13 N-A stroke of apoplexy and 8 weak heart it is understood. caubed tho death last night of Joseph F. Maroncelli, aged 61. who for several years had kept tailoring shop in town and lived 8 mile out on the north road. He had been playing cards with his step-sons, Ernest and Carl Gader. and the wife of a son, Raymond Maroncelli.
 Mystery was thrown about the death because Coroner Ell Mix was called from New Haven and with Dr. Milo P. Rindge. the medical ex- aminer. went to the house and questioned members of tho family. Meantime. the son: Raymond. had arrived from Fordham, N. Y., hav- ing been notified of his fathers death and desired removal of the body to New York for interment in the family plot.
 Dr. Rindge declined to give an explanation of the reason why the coroner came here. He had previ- ously said that the death of Maron- celli was accidental, and later that it was due to heart trouble.
 Coroner Mix returned to New Ha- ven and it later was said that he had ordered 8 member of the fam fly detained for further questioning but no member of the family ap- peared to have been detained. Be- sides the stepsons by Maroncelli's second marriage to Mrs. Gauer, the sons of the first marriage are John, Julius, Raymond and Harry Maroncelli. Their father formerly was in business in New York and had had a tailor shop here about three years.

watsrs for week. Two days ego thsy had thrown aside ell clothing axQpt shirts and trousers. and yes- teraay they were drenchcd as they worked ip thu rain. Many of them wsrs chilled and suffering from ex- posture when, they reached concen- trAtion camps.
 Tho first reported break along the main Bayou Des Glaises levee was at 'Aofsauville. but shortly afterward came news of second break at Bordelonville, also along the Big Bend stretch. Both places are Ap- proximatsly 15o miles northwest or New Orleans and on tho opposite side of tho river.
 Evacuation of the Bordelonville sections was conducted throughout , last night by boats and overland and there wore no fears Of loss of life.
 Surf boats and barges were at the scene today to care for any who might still be in the section.
 The course of the waters as chart cd by engineers would take them through livs new parishes. affecting 1ob,00o persons, covering an area of 1,173 square miles, or 1,19S.720 acre1.
 The waters will have a virtually unobstructed How SO Inward to Bayou Courtableau.
 Railroads in Path
 Four railroad lines arc in the path of the waters. the Texas & Pacific, The Gulf Coast Lines, and The Southern Pacific, gill branch lines, as well as the Southern Pacific main line.
 Three other parishes. 1berville, Assumption and Terrebonne, prob- ably will be partially covered by baokwaters from Grand Lake. into which the Atchafalaya flows.
 Plaucheville, due south of the crevasse and also in the path ofthe water, loosed yesterday by the small- CT break on Bayou Rouge at Cotton- port, will be flooded unless a pro- lection levee is built. Hamburg also will fall prey to the waters, but they are not expected to reach Simmes- port and Bunkie.
 Virtually the same section will be flooded this time as in 1922, when 3oo,O00 acres of cultivated lands in Avoyelles. St. Landry. St. Martin, St. Mary and 1berville parishes were covered. The loss in that section was estimated to have been $2.171,000.
 Belief was expressed that today's breaks would inundate more terri- tory than in 1922.
 While the two crevasses were re- leasing the inland sea to the north into the south central Louisiana par- ishes, a desperate fight still was be- ing carried on at Torras, along the same stretch, where there was said to be danger of third break. Work CTS were hastily recruited from par ishes along tho west bank. of the Mississippi and sent there by special trains.
 Torras was . concentration point today, also for refugees fleeing from the invading flood. Seaplanes were dispatched to aid in removing re- fugees from the area
