 After the child had gone and Mrs. Kaminsky sensed her loss, she rushed to the office of Nair & Nair and poured out her story. Attorney David l.. Nair pieced it together little by little, finding it difficult to get the facts at once because of her hySteriCal condition. All the money in the world would not compensate her, she said, for the loss of the lit- tie girl, her whole devotion for the past four years having been cen- tered on her. It has always been her intention, she said, to tell the child of her mother when she reach ed the age at which she would un- derstand, and then if she wished to go with her father or make her home elsewhere, she would let her go.
 Attorney Nair said this afternoon that he would investigate all phases of the case before taking action He said Mrs. kaminsky claimed to havebeen paid for caring for the child for only a short period, but she was not seeking money, she said her only wish being to have the child back again,

DEATH CAR DRIVER
 IS HELD FOR TRIAL
New Haven Soldier Bound Over by Plainville
 Judge
Special to the Herald)

Plainyille, Oct. 22 - John J. Ma her of New Haven, charged with criminal negligence in connection with the death of Captain Frederick M. Booth, late of the New Haven Grays, in an automobile accident in Plainville on September 23, was bound over to superior court on bonds of 5000 by Judge Merritt O. Ryder in the town court this morn- ing. Maher pleaded not guilty.
 Maher was the alleged driver of Booths car when it collided with a trolley car, instantly killing Booth and injuring two other occupants of the machine. Maher was badly in iured himself and was confined to the Bristol hospital for a number of weeks.
 He has denied being the driver of the car when the fatal accident oc- cured although police authorities claim to have proof disapproving Maher's statement. A finding issued last Friday by Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun stated that Maher should be held Criminally responsible for Booths death as his driving on the trolley track and running into the 'tr slley was exceedingly reckless and negligent driving.

Tot Protests When Father Takes
 Her From Home of Foster Mother

The four year old daughter of John Smulsky of 173 Broad street, who was taken by Mrs. Domenica Kaminsky of A Clinton street when an infant, following the death of her mother, cried and protested in every way she was able to, when her father, accompanied by Attorney Martin F. Stempien and Sergeant P. A. McAvay, took her away from her foster mother this forenoon. Her resistance was ineffective, naturally, the tot being powerless in the tight grasp of her father, while Mrs. Kaminsky, equally helpless in the situation, could only stand by with sorrow eating her heart out.
 It was a sad scene, the child scampering to the protection of Mrs. Kaminsky, who had never failed her and to whom she had always looked for shelter and kindness, but today only the kindness remained within her power to give. The shelter was in another house, with children born to her fathers second marriage.
 According to Attorney Stempien, Mrs. Kaminslly simply took the child on an agreement to care for it for pay, there never having been an adoption. Smulsky wants his child and was within his rights in taking her, according to Attorney Stem pien's explanation to Mrs. Kamin-

HART ST. EXTENSION
 SUGGESTED BY NAIR
Alderman Would Continue Thoroughfare to Rock
 well Avenue

Alderman David l.. Natr of the first ward is having drawings pre- pared of q proposed continuation of Hart street to Rockwell avenue. to become a part of d scheme to lessen traffic hazard by installing 'one-way" traffic on Webster street and Rockwell avenue.
 The alderman will submit his plan at the next session of the common council and will ask that it be referred to the department of pub lie works to have a survey made to determine it's feasibility and also the cost.
 The suggested continuation Of Hart street would he over land which is now vacant and which. because of the sharpness of the in cline, is expected 10 continue so, The Arch street frontage of this realty is owned by Dr. Mcndcl Noll,cn- helm and Matthew R. MalinOwsli. and the Rockwell avenue terminal would be on land owned by James M Farrell and Pulius and Matilda Schultz. By reason of the fact that the plan would create for new cor ners, thereby boncGting the border ing properties, the alderman believes no difficulty will arise when the sug- gestion goes to the board of com- pensation and assessment.
 Alderman Nair suggests one-way traffic doWnhill on Webster street. and the same regulation on Rock well avenue from west to east. On the suggested continuation of Hart street, the moro gradual incline and absence of dangerous corners will permit of traffic in both directions, he believes.
 He has already consulted Police Chief William C. Hart, Traffic Ser geant King and Chairman Michael w. Bannan of the police commits sion, all of whom regard the plan faVorably.

Dr. Kimball, who has been unofficial starter for transatlantic flights, said he had not been inform ed of Diteman's plans.
 Dr. Kimball said conditions were good for a tahc-off at Harbor Grace this morning. The weather was clear with good visibility and there were light northwest winds.
 The temperature was at AS, how ever, he said, and Dr. Kimball des- cribcd this as pretty cold" The pilot will encounter no danger if he flies low, he explained, but if he seeks high altitude there is danger of ice forming on the wings in the lower temperature.
 Conditions in mid-ocean are not exactly known, but they are believed to be favorable. There were heavy rains in Ireland this morning, how ever, Dr. Kimball pointed out and the weather in general over England was thick, with overcast skies.

TILSON RAPS SENATE FOR TARIFF DELAYS
Connecticut Congressman Speaks at Hardware
 Convention

Atlantic Cilty, N. J., Oct. 22 P- The senate as a whole and it's dem ocratic members in particular were blamed today for delayed enactment of the tariff bill by Rep. Til son of Connecticut, republican floor leader.
 In an address prepared for deliv- cry before the annual convention of the American Hardware Manufac- turors' association, Tilson declared that business of the country was en- titled to early enactment of a tariff bill.
 He said that general denuncia- tion' rather than flair and thorough consideration of rate changes" had been given the bill in the senate for reasons of political effect.
 If our present tariff law is good" he said, 'the pending bill cant be very bad, for four fourths of it is the same and to four -ffths of the pro- posed changes no one has venturcd specific objection"
 An examination of the house bill, Tilson said would show that with few exceptions the proposed i creases were moderate, fully justified by changes in world competitive con- ditions and in full accord with tn tariff plank of the republican plat form and with President Hoover's to the special session.
 Tt was to be expected" he said, that political eXigency would cause our democratic friends to take the field in opposition to any bill the re- publicans might favor" He added that he could not understand. how ever, any one who believes that the present law is satisfactory and at the same time dcnounces the pending bill as utterly bad.
 Tt is well recognized, however," he continued that agriculture in many lines has been in depressed and as a consequence quite a general willingness has been to give the products of the American farm every possible It is admitted that in some lines of agriculture tariff du- ties cannot be made to operate effec- lively, but wherever and whenever

 Jessie Odon was the daughter of Mrs. William Mcdonald of 24 Foley street and was born on September 6, 1910, in Chicago, Illinois.
 She was q pupil at the Federal Hill school while a resident of this city and was well liked by h.; classmates. She was girl who had a very pleasing disposition and the teachers of the school that she at tended never experienced any trou- ble with her.
 Miss Odon had been employed at the New Departure Mfg. Co. since August, 1928, and had also worked at that plant for a time during 1927.
 Shortly after the operation which is alleged to have taken place in Berlin, Rose Leyman. who is also known as Rose Emmcrich, was placed under arrest by County De tcctive Edward Hickey and Sergeant Henry Jcglnski of the local police for Constable Frank Brown of Ser lin. She was held under S15oC bonds for an appearance in Berlin court on October 15.
 Her case was continued then and again last night to November 4 on the expectation that the girl would recover, but Miss Odon's death dur Ing the night put a different aspect on the case and it is expected that Miss Leyman- -Emmerich will face more serious charges than those al first brought against her.
 Funeral arrangements, in charge of Undertaken George F. Scott. arc incomplete. The body will be sent to Maine, but the undertaken ha. been ordered to take no action fol 12 hours.
