 Men and women interested in sports have complained continually that they cannot get the superinten- dents permission to use the parks as they should have been used.
 Washington School Park
 Tt was only five weeks ago that MT. Wainright came out in the newspaper with statement that he does not favor spending any money this year for development of a park on the Washington school grounds Yet. find, there is an appropriation of 5000 for the purpose of devel- oping this tract and the school board has given the park department per- mission to use the land. I have al- ways felt there Is no section of the city that is so sorely in need of park advantages as is the north- western section and it is my inten- ton to See that these conveniences are provided MT. Wainright's ideas to the contrary notwithstanding From the superintendent's own statement I can tell you that there will be no park on the Washington school grounds if he has his way. But he will not!
 Some criticism has been made Of the dropping of an experienced man. We have other men in the department who can supervise the maintenance of the parks. It might have been quite all right to pay a man S4.000 a year to be superinten- dent if he also handled the laying out and the developing of the parks, but the city has had to pay fees time and again for the services of MT. Sc" :'"'i Mir. Desmond, land scape .i,..
 MT. nanright has spent entirely too much time riding around in a sedan provided by the taxpayers and his efficiency has been concen- trated too much on bring regular and systematic increases in his own salary. I feel owe it to the people of New Britain to put an end to these practices. hence my request that Wainrght be dropped"

FEAR FOR SAFETY Of U. 5. PRISONERS
One Held Captive by Sardino
 Reported Slain

Managua. Nicaragua. April 25 R With one American mine execu-
 tive stated to have been slain by rebels, grave fears were held today for the safety of any other foreign CTS who might have fallen into the clutches of General Augustine San- dino and his followers. Four mines In the Pis Pis region were in the f hanads of insurgents.
 Clifford D. Ham, collector general of customs, received radio mes- sage from w. J. Crampton, collec- tor of customs at Puerto Cabezas. saying that George B. Marshall of New York, assistant manager of La Luz Y Los Angeles mine, had been killed.
 Crampton also reported the sci zure of the Bonanza, Neptune and l Lone Star mines. The Americans at the Lone Star and Neptune mines escaped from the rebels and fled to Puerto Caabezas.
 The rebels immediately made preparations to resist any attack by American marines.
 The mines were seized by San dino and his followers when they made sudden slash eastward into the Pis Pis district. Before he began this drive, Sandino stated publicly at Matagalpa that he was going to kill all Americans, because of the pres ence in Nicaragu of marines, whom lie termed invaders. Other nationals would be spared, he said. Apparently under the impression that the manager of the Luz mine. Harry F. Amphlett, was an Ameri- can, the raiding party under Gen. eral Giron was under orders to cut him off. Amphlett, a British subject, however, was absent from the mine when the insurgents seized it, having gone down the Prizapolka river to the east coast.
 There was no information here concerning the fate of the others at the mine. Inquiries received from the United States indicated that these men were L. B. Milberry, of Woodside, N. H.: Roy Burley. also an American, and Peter Petersen, a Norwegian. There is no telegrap phic connection with the mine and 1t probably will be days before word of the fate of these men is received.
 Marines attempting to drive the Sandino forces from the mining re- zion found 4 force of SOn rahele i, control.
 The marine detachment was small and made no attempt to attack. Many of the insurgents are mounted on mules. Achievements were ask

their way into the treacherous jungle country today.
 A large number of laborers re- gently discharged from employment at Brangmans Bluff (Puerto Cabe- zas) were understood to have joined the rebel forces. One hundred and 50 mounted insurgents under Gen eral Giron are in immediate charge of the Luz mine. Champion reported that they had robbed it of $1.30O in cash and merchandise and livestock amounting to sS,700.
 Fairly reliable reports said San- dino himself. with several hundred followers, was in the vicinity of the Wasspuc river. to the north of the seized mines.
 Marines and national guardsmen attempting to quell disorder had an- other task in the coffee growing sections around San Marcos. where banditry is on the increase. Four men were killed and three wounded when a mob attempting to storm the San Marcos jail to release Pedro Ortega. who was imprisoned there The mob rushed the jail guards with

 swimming pool and no skating rink if Mr. Wainright had a free rein. He made the claim that the soil in

 He claimed the water was danger ously impure-Dr. P, Hen found that it was not impure. I had difficulty in getting the cooperation I was en- titled to demand in Stanley Quar- ter park and it was necessary for me to do much of the work MT.
