State And Local Officers Active
In Putnam Inspecting Safety
Equipment

Putnam drivers had their intro.
( duction 20 the state motor vehicle de-
partment's campaign &c put effective
Z brakes on every vehicle, when local
and state officers tested brakes on
many cars on Sehcel street Tuesday
afternoon. Two inspectors from
Hartford with the assistance Of
Patrclman Benoit of the local police.
halted a great number Of cars az
their post on School street between
Providence street and the Providence
Worcester fork. The object Of the
afternoons activity was not to arrest
operators whose brakes or safety
equipment were defective, but to
warn them. Only Connecticut cars
are halted.
Not only foot and hand brakes
were inspected, but many other items
Of safety equipment on the car in
Guiding mirrors, windshield wiper,
lights, and reflectors ton trucksl.
The majority of vehicles are found
deficient in some one or more of
these respects, and the drivers warn
ed TO have them repaired. For testing
brakes the state inspectors use a neat
klttlt INSTRUMENT WniiAtf aAAAlHt1 -
the car, gives the speed at the time
the brakes are applied and the dis
lance required to stop the car.
All inspections will ultimately in
clude the issuance of certificates con-
corning the condition of the equip
ment items inspected. This form is
made out in triplicate, local police
keeping one copy, another going TO
the driver and the third TO the state
department of motor vehicles Fif-
teen such were made out in Tues
days activity
This local inspection is in line with
what is being done ali over the state
in the campaign TO reduce accidents
by insistance upon coed brakes.
Many Putnam drivers are considering
il wise to have their brakes tested in
advance Of an inspection. This is
particularly advisable since Tues
days inspection will not be the only
one here, but viii be followed by
others. The Putnam Auto Staten is
the only garage in town which has
apparatus for testing brakes. but
here the service is offered free to any
who wish it.

Use Of District
Equipment Asked
By J. C. Allison

A request of j. c. Allison that the
Imperial Irrigation District would
allow him the use Of their equip
ment to haul materials to a point
below the Mexican boundary line
on the east bank of the Colorado
river where efforts are being made
to turn the river from its latest
adopted channel. was presented to
the Imperial Irrigation District di-
reetors at their regular weekly meet
ing this morning.
After much discussion it was
moved and seconded that Allison be
notified that nothing would be done
in this matter until an understand
ing with all parties concerned be
lad. The board would not call a
conference on its own initiative to
settle this question, but would not
refuse to sit in on such a meeting
called by the owners Of the lands
included in the contemplated pro-
ject. Until such an agreement or
understanding might be had, the
board did not consider it advisable
to allow district equipment to be
used in hauling materials as Allison
had requested.
Routine business occupied the
major part Of the morning session
which adjourned for the luncheon
hour at noon.

GALES SUBSIDE
LEAVING HEAVY
LIST OF DEAD

LONDON, Dec. 10. WH-Grave
danger of extensive floods arose in
Great Britain today as the week
long storms which took a heavy toll
of life and property on the European
coast abated after a last furious as
sault.
Heavy rains which accompanied
the storms added to the flood men,
ace in Wales and other sections of
England and the accumulation of
heavy rains in November threatened
wide damage.
AS the storms died down the most
accurate death list Of the worst gales
in century was placed at 166, with
many persons unaccounted for. In
addition to that toll, 60 fishermen
in six trawlers were unreported at
Yarmouth and Lowestoft. The crui-
ser Sutton was dispatched to search
for them but little hope was held
that all Of them would be found
safe.
The heaviest death toll appeared
to have been taken in France, where
So were reported lost at sea or kill
ed in land accidents due to the
storm. The British Isles and sur.
rounding waters were next with Sc
dead.

COMMITTEE SAYS
CRUNDY ABLE TO
INFLUENCE EPARTY
Senate Lobbying Board
Gives Report On Head
OF Manufacturers.
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON
UNITED Press staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. W.H-
Joseph R. Grundy, president of the
Pennsylvania Manufacturers AS
sociation, was able to influence the
actions of his party associates in
congress "by reason of the. very
substantial aid he had rendered as
a revenue raiser for political cam
paigns,' the senate lobby investiga-
ting committee reported today.
The report was made as the com
mittee resumed it's hearings by in
,,quiring into the activities of repre-
sentatives of Cuban interests on
matters concerning the sugar sched-
ule.
Grundy has raised huge sums Of
money in Pennsylvania for Republi-
can campaigns and has been active
in the capital in the interest of a
higher tariff for many years.
No recommendations were made
by the committee. This was the third
report it has submitted on it's lobby
inquiry. The first dealt with the en-
ployment of Charles l.. Eyanson of
the Connecticut Manufacturers AS
sociation as secretary to Senator
Bingham, Republican, Connecticut,
the second with the alleged lobby
activities of William :. Burgess,
pottery representative.
The committee s report today had
especial significance in view of the
expected appointment Of Grundy as
senator from Pennsylvania, by Gov
ernor John Fisher of that state, to
fill the vacancy resulting from the
denial of a seat to William S. Ware.
Governor Mentioned
Fisher was mentioned in the COM
mittees report, which recalled that
Grundy had raised 100000 and per
sonally contributed $4,000 toward
the nomination of George Wharton
Pepper for senator and Fisher for
governor in 1926.
Grundy preferred Ware for sena
tor, the report declared, but decided
to support the Pepper-Fisher tieke'
because "Fisher was sound on th'
repeal of the law exempting manu-
featuring establishments from taxa
tion.''
Efforts of the sugar lobbyists tC
reach President Hoover and Chair
man Smoot of the senate finance
committee were disclosed before the
committee today.
H. G. Lakin, president of the Cuba
Company, testified he had employed
Edwin Shattuck, Washington attor
ney, because "Shattuck was per
sonal friend of both Hoover and
Smoot.D
