ing for The New Freedom 10 year
old Aurora D'Angelo today found
herself back in Jail for soapbox ora
tory in behalf of Sacco and Vanzetti.
The fiery young high school girl
who only a week ago went to a cell

against the execution of the con-
demned men was arrested last night
a moment after she assembled a soap
box before a crowd of sympathizers
and launched a TRADE against So
ciety.
Shouting defiance, the young girl
flung at the officers: You coppers
are big bums." When hand
clasped her arm she cried: You
never work. but ! do"
What is your occupation?" the
policeman asked.
Il have no occupation" she
hurled back.
And then, with IS other persons,
eight Of them women, she again
went to Jail. as the police nipped in
the bud a growing radical demon
stration.
The disturbances began when a
hall which had been rented for a
meeting was closed to the sympath-
izers, fomenting numerous small
meetings in the neighborhood. It
was at one of these that Aurora was
exhorting when interrupted by Of
flcers.
The police again we're forced to
resort to tear bombs to disperse the
crowds. arresting most of the lead
ers with the young woman. The
charges resulting from her previous
arrest. disorderly conduct and incit-
ing a riot, still are pending against
Aurora and at her trial she said she
would plead her own cause. She is
preparing to become a law student.
Aside from the protest meeting,
the only other disturbance reported
in Chicago was a bomb explosion,
attributed to Sacco-Nanzetti SYM
pathizers in loop employment bu-
reau. The damage was slight.
Police were prepared for the sit
uation as it might develop with 5000
men held in reserve. Guards around

SIGNAL Communication CUT OFF
WINNER thinks MISS
DORAN Sank IN ocean
Tells of Hazardous Spins
in Rising to Higher
Attitudes

Honolulu, Aug. 20 (UP)-Martin
Jensen, successful Dole race avia-
tor, said today that he believes both
Captain William P. Erwin and the
crew OF the biplane Miss Doran"
had been forced down at approx
mately the same place in the Pacific
ocean.
"Auggy Pedlar probably was fly
ing low during the daylight hours.
after he took off from Oakland"
said Jensen. When it became dark
he probably attempted to climb
higher to find the horizon and then
fell into a tail spin.
Il believe that this also Is what
happened to Erwin.
The same thing happened to me.
I was flying low until dark and then
tried to climb. I went into a spin,
but corrected it and tried to follow
bearings according to an imaginary
horizon, relying on an altimeter to
clear the water.
"Peddlar had a heavy load and so
did Erwin. Therefore / feel certain
they had experiences similar to mine
and we're unable to come out OF the
spns.'
Jensen said he was convinced that
If the hours between the time Ped
lar took off from Oakland and
darkness were multiplied by rs the
approximate number OF miles the
Miss Doran" was making per hour.
it would determine the vicinity in
which the plane went down.
The man who took second prize in
the transpacific air race said that
he was willing to risk his flying rep
utatton. on the prophecy that If a
search wers concentrated in the
spot he suggested some clew to the
fate Of Miss Mildred Doran aud her
companions would be determined.
Regarding the fate of the Col
den Eagle" Jensen was unable to
advance any theory.

RADIO MESSAGE SAYS
MISS D0RAN IS SAFE
Report Saying Girl Found
on Raft Discounted by
Authorities

Los Angeles, Aug. 90 P-Radio
experts today were inclined to dis
count report made by Z. w. Lee
roy, Alhambra, Cal, radio operator,
that he had picked up a message
yesterday from an unnamed pas
senger ship in mid-ocean saying
that girl, presumably Miss Doran,
had been found on a raft with a
live companion.
Leroy. however. said he was GER
tain that the message was not a
hoax. The message read:
Passenger ship reports girl
found dead, man alive on life raft,
o:12 a. m, picked up raft sank plane
at sight.
In his opinion, Leroy said, the
message came from within 1000
miles of the Pacific coast and if
authentic, it was being relayed from
one ship to another at sea.
Both the Federal Telegraph COM
pany and the Radio Corporation OF
America discounted the report and
the Federal company pointed out
that Leroy received the message or
a 40 to AZ meter wave length
whereas all passenger ships carry.
ing radio have 500 to 700 metel
wave lengths.
Consequently tine experts main
rained, it would have been impos.
sible for Leroy to have picked w
a message from ship 1000 miles
or more at sea. No passenger ships
the experts commented, are know,
to be in the vicinity in which lie
roy's message would place them.
Leroy declared that he regularl,
picked UP stations as far distant a
Australia, and his acquaintance
declared he had good reputation
for radio ability and relia bility.

HIT Central AMERICA
Arthur Ruhl Says Big and
Tragic Revolution Is

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 20 Up
Central America faces profound
social changes in the near future,
Arthur Ruhl, correspondent ,ot the
New York Herald Tribune, who rer
Gently returned from that country,
told the Institute of Politics today.
Quite aside from political reyolu-
tons, he said, the big and tragic
revolution there, for which nobody is
to blame and which no one can
stop. is the imminent industrial
revolution. He pointed to the in
PRODUCTION of high priced American
goods in countries where poems work
for IS cents a day as drive to-
wards this social change.
"A good deal of nonsense is talked
about bolshevism in this part of the
world" he added, but while a
Madame Kollontay coming as soviet
ambassadress to Mexico may very
possibly be interested in stirring up
her particular sort of trouble, there
is no need of Kollantays to explain
the unrest. There are natural causes
enough"
Ruhl deplored what he termed
American brusqueness in diplomatic
dealings with the sensitive Central
Americans" I do not think our
dealings have been hostile or
malign," he said, our intentions
have been good, but the carrying out
OF them is often inept and our man
ners often atrocious. In view OF our

rather than take line in our
policy toward Central America
which would seem to the rest OF the
world unjust, unsportsmanlke"

Claims Industrial Waste Dis.
poSal Not Great Problem
ALSO QUESTIONS COSTS
Says Expense to City Will Not Be
More Than Half of Former May
Be Solve for 100000.

The disposal of industrial wastes
is not the problem in New Britain's
sewerage system, S. H. Wadhams,
director Of sanitation for the state
water board, writes in a letter 10
Mayor Weld received today in which
the claims of ex-Mayor George A.
Quigley are disputed.
Wadhams declares Quigley's fig
ure of 100000 for a disposal plant
is twice as great as the ultimate cost
will be and that the present problem
can be handled with a 100000 unit.
He suggests employment of con-
sultins engineer to speed up the pre-
liminary survey and that operations
be started on the new plant as soon
as possible. Any one of several sys-
tens now employed will take care
of New Britain's sewage, Wadhams
insists, despite Quigley's declaration
that no system exists which will do
so.
The letter is as follows:
During the past few weeks l have
seen a number Of newspaper clip
pings from various publications
throughout the state giving the views
of former Mayor Quigley on sub
Ject of sewage disposal for the city
of New Britain.

Quigley strenuously opposes the ex-
penditure OF any money for sewage
treatment. Reference is frequently
made to proposed expenditure OF
100000 by New Britain. Where
Mr.. Quigley gets this figure is not
known. New Britain has not yet
completed the preliminary engineer
ing study Of the problem for which
funds were made available over q
year ago. Until the data to be OBJ
tanned by such an investigation is
available, no accurate estimate of
the cost of sewage treatment can be
made. However. a preliminary es-
innate made on data now on hand
indicates that a plant providing
complete, treatm snt FOR New Britain

roughly one half the figure mention
ed by Mn, Quigley.
MOREOVER as has been previous

less than 100000 should. according
to the preliminary estimates, cover
the cost of the first unit, of sew
age treatment plant and will accom-
