JAILED AND FINED
 AFTER AUTO SMASH
Tor1nay Guilty of Driving While
 Drunk -MdYec Discharged

Pleading guilty to charges of talk ing an automobile owned by James M. Finnegan, liveryman. without his permission. and driving while under the influence of liquor. Russell Tor may, 20. of 54 Clinton street, was given a suspended jail sentence of three months on the first charge and fined $100 and costs and sen- tenced to jail for five days on the second, by Judge Stanley J. Traceski in police court today. The charge of taking an automobile without permission of the owner was nolled in the case of Henry Medvec. 24. l of G6 Oak street.
 Attorney Cyril F. Gaffney. who appeared for Tormay, told the court that MT. Finnegan expressed sur prise at Tormay's action as he had the reputation of being good worker when in his employ, and he held no i'll will against him for talk ing an expensive sedan and smash ing it against hydrant at Upson's corner in kensington early Sunday morning.
 As matter of fact, the attorney said, Tormay had taken cars out of Finnegan's garage in the past. leav- ing a note on a calendar in the of- flee and paying for the use of the cars on returning them, but in this case the car was taken early in the | ,lt "a was left Tormay was unable to raise .bond for his release since 1 his arrest and he had no money with which to pay fine. Attorney Gaffney said. It was his first arre ,t on these charges and it seemed like case in which leniency might well be exercised. he said.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. M. Greenstein, who recommended the three months suspended jail sentence but made no recommends ton as to penalty on the drunken arrests. which followed supernumer- ary Officer Anthony Pechout's ob. servation of an unsuccessful effort by Tormay to drive the car from Arch street into Grand street about o'clock Sunday morning.
 Tormay. it seemed. invited Medvec to go riding with the understanding that they would share the expense of $1O equally. Medvec thought Tormay had permission to take a car from the garage on such an ar engagement.

Fire Marshal of State Reports Sale of High Explosives Considered Menace to Identifying Mark
 of Manufacturer Missing

Boston. June e5 = Fireworks pro- duced in Connecticut and New York for sale in the observance of 1nde- pendence Day are likely to cause more serious injury than any made in years. In the opinion of State Fire Marshal George C. Neal of Massa- chusetts. who has asked police and fire chiefs to circulate warnings against dangerous explosives.
 The marshal has not esta blished he place Of manufacture, but is convinced that Connecticut and New York are the sources from which the tirecrackers are coming.
 Analyses have been made of sev- eral o! the larger types and warn inFs have been issued. Massachusetts statutes prescribe the amount of ex- .''osive material which may be used.
 It numerous violations have come =, light which have convinced the i; ,thorities that, placed in the hands ef persons unfamiliar with explo- sves, injury and mutilation may be expected. One large specimen with . single fuse was found to be loaded with four packages of potent pow der. A second, mounted on a small stand, is supposed to mount upward and then explode. This arrangement permits of tilting which would cause the firecracker to whizz into a crowd and then explode, with injuries all most certain.
 The situation is the worst ! have ever seen" Fire Marshal Neal said. Ever since the passage of the pres ent law in 1910. the problem has been made comparatively easy. Only k few sporadic outbursts have made 1t difficult during those years. but this year something seems to have broken wide open and the law is be- ing violated on every hand. If some- thing isn't done to rouse the police and Ire chiefs we are going 10 have ' Fourth of July that will be disas- trous."
 The marshal has sent letters to the various chiefs informing them of the situation and asking them to do ev- rrything in their power to try to remedy conditions. He has described nome of the more dangerous fire crackers that have come to his at- tention and asked the officials to be especially on the lookout for such explosives. In his notification the marshal points out that Massachu- &etts has the best law In the coun- try covering explosives and fire works. and urges the police to see that 1t Is obeyed.
 Two of the most dangerous pieces been in this vicinity in many years were picked up by the police and sent to the marshals office. Perlin |. Carter. assistant chemist in the department of public safety. after an examination of the pieces. said they were unusually dangerous.
 Four Crackers in One
 One of these pieces was six inches loAg and two inches in diameter, with single fuse. Upon opening 1t, the chemist found that there were four hve-iaeh crackers inside. each loaded 1tth Aluminium powder and

 A second piece was called "Vesu- vius, a Volcano Buster" It bore an ordinary wick and because of the flareup in volcanic fashion, is ex- tremely dangerous in the hands of a boy.

must have stared upon it for
nearly half a minute, sunk as
was In the mere stupidity of Won
der, before terror woke up my
breast as sudden and startling as
the crash of cymbals, and bound
ing from my bed / rushed to the
mirror. At the sight that met my
eyes my blood was changed into
something exquisitely thin and icy.
Yes, / had gone to bed Henry Jek-
yll, had awakened Edward Hyde.
How was this to be explained?
asked myself, and then, with an
other bound of terrOr-how was it
to be remedied? 1t was we'll on in
the morning; the servants were
up; all my drugs were in the cabi-
meta long journey down two
pairs OF stairs, through the back
passage, across the open court and
through the anatomical theater,
from where | was then standing
horrOr-struck. 1t might indeed be
possible to cover my face, but of
what use was that when | was IN
able to conceal the alteration in
my stature? And then, with an
Overpowering sweetness of relief,
it came back upon my mind that
the servants were already used to
the coming and going of my second
self. l had soon dressed, IS well
as | was able, in clothes of my own
size; had soon passed through the
house, where Bradshaw stared and
drew back at seeing Mr.. Hyde at
such an hour and in such a strange
array, and ten minutes later DR..
Jekyll had returned to his own
shape and was sitting down, with
a darkened brow, to make a feint
of breakfasting.
Small indeed was my appetite.
This inexplicable incident, this re-
versal of my previous experience,
seemed, like the Babylonian finger
on the wall, to be spelling out the
letters of my judgment; and l be-
gan to reflect more seriously than
ever before on the issues and pos
sibilities Of my double existence.
That part of me which l had the
power of projecting had lately
been much exercised and nourish-
ed; it had seemed to me of late as
thought the body of Edward Hyde
had grown in stature, as though
(when / wore that form) l were
conscious of a more generous tide
of blood; and I began to spy a
danger that, if this were much pro-
longed, the balance of my nature
might be permanently overthrown,
the power of voluntary change be
forfeited, and the character of Ed
ward Hyde become irervocably
mine. The power of the drug had
not been always equally displayed.
Once, very early in my career, it
had totally failed me; since then
had been obliged on more than one
occasion to double, and once, with
infinite risk of death, to treble the
amount; and these rare uncertain

to come to grips with the issue
again. The tariff battle is for the
moment more spectacular. But the
actual struggle is still for farm
relief.
Board One More Obstacle.
1t is, of course, still too soon TO
attempt any estimate of the work
of the new Farm Board but several
of its major policies have already
become sufficiently clear to mdi-
cate that its establishment has but
provided another obstacle which
the farmers of the country must
surmount. Whereas in the past
the fight of agriculture has been to
secure relief, the battle in the fut-
tuTe is in addition to be against
the kind of relief which the Board
is seeking to administer to the
( farmers.
The Board has already repudiat-
ed the widely held conviction of the
farmers that they may as a result
of its activities expect higher
prices. 1t has announced that
credit will be available to cooper
atives only after other existing
sources have been exhausted.
