Speaker Says President Weakest Since Franklin Pierce"-Asserts He Is "Repudiated By Nation,' Blames Depression on Party.

Bridgeport, July 31 Pl-Archibald McNeil, democratic national commit teeman, in an address before the state democratic committee here to- day, placed the full burden of the present business depression upon President Hoover, and advanced re- peal of the 1Sth amendment as the most effective way to restore an era O. prosperity.
 McNeil criticised the president as showing a "woeful lack of construc- tive leadership" and asserted that "he stands today before the bar of American public opinion thoroughly repudiated by the nation-the weak est president since Franklin Pierce. '
 Criticizes Tariff Bill
 Censuring the chief executive for signing the tariff bill which he said has been responsible for a partial stoppage of manufacturing plants, McNeil predicted that "a lowering Oi wages IS HOl ullilhtiy lu lOllo" in the wake of this Hoover panic"
 As one of the blanks in the state platform. the national committee man favored system of old age pensions. Connecticut is a wealthy state, he said. and 'it spends mill lions for public improvements and public comfort. It spends thousands of dollars in needless sinecures to keep in office a selfish political ma chine whose principal object is self enrichment.

Failing to observe that a north bound passenger train was going in the opposite direction from freight train which obstructed it completely from view, Jesse Smith, 29, of S65 Stanley street, was almost instantly killed shortly before o'clock last night at the Sigourney street cross ing, Hartford, when he stepped into the path of the northbound train.
 Smith, who grew impatient wait ing for the long freight train which was passing the grade crossing at TAT o'clock, stepped under the gate across from the gateman's house, which at that time was being tended by Gateman P. s. Finn, and waited for the freight to pass. He was standing on the outside track and could be seen by the gatetender as the cars passed by.
 As the caboose was nearing the crossing the passenger train. No 80, from New York to Springfield. came into view. AS 3, warning to Smith, whom he saw. Engineer Walter Spalding said he blew the whistle steadily for distance of about 100 yards to warn him.
 Fails to Hear Warning
 Almost simultaneously the ca boose passed and the passenger train reached the crossing, and at that moment, unable to hear the coming of the other train and its warning, Smith stepped directly in its path.
 He was struck in the head and was rendered unconscious by the blow. The train came to stop about 100 yards from the scene of the ac- cident, and an ambulance was called and Smith was rushed to St. Fran cis's hospital, where he died within a brief period.
 Medical Examiner Henry N. Cos tello. who viewed the body, said death was caused by a fractured skull. Smith was identified by papers which were found on his person.
 Smith left his home last night at 7;15 o'clock and left no word with any member of the family where he was going. His relatives received word of the accident about an hour later.

 Learned Lesson

i've learned my lesson and I'm going to make every effort to be of some use to society. It doesn't get you anything to be the other way" Michael Stucka, A, of II Oak street said to police officials as he walked out of the police station this fore noon a free man for the first time since his arrest in Hamden the morning of June 22, 1929, when he was pulled out of the wreckage Of an automobile which he had stolen in North Haven.

M. Greenstein recommended that a sentence of six months in jail on each count be imposed. eXe- Cution suspended, with probation for a year, and Judge Traceski approv- ed this disposition Of the case.
 Mir. Greenstein said Stucka had been in New Haven hospital and New Haven county Jail for 13 months and was in poor physical condition as result of his expert ences There was no question, he said, that two serious offenses had been committed in New Britain by the young man, but it seemed as though he had been sufficiently pun ished already.

WILL PERMIT BOYS
 ID STAY IN TREES
Officials Find Nothing Objection
 able in Endurance Craze
BOYS END WEEK ON LIMB
Stanley Street Duo Remain AIoft- Chief Hart Approves Sanitary Ac-
 commOdations - Boys Parents
 Made Victims of Telephone Hoax.

Local officials will not interfere with the tree sitting" activities of boys who have adopted tops of back yard trees as ther lodging places, ac- cording to statements made by Chief of Police William C. Hart and su- perintendent of the Health Depart ment Dr. L. J. Dumont today.
 The officials had the matter brought to their attention yesterday and the night before when wave of protest among business men on street reached their ears. At least one complaint is said to have been made to Chief Hart.
 Dr. Dumont yesterday called at the premises Of Mir. and Mrs. Fred erick l.. Morley of 1164 Stanley street and looked over the tree and sanitary accommodations for liar old Morley and Michael kowalczuk. who, perched on a platform in a tree in the Morley back yard. com- pleted an entire week of 16S hours at o'clock this afternoon.
 Finds Nothing Objectionable
 While not approving of the stunt, which he regards as decidedly fool hardy, Dr. Dumont, who said he was there simply as spectator a2d not in an official capacity said he could find nothing to which he would object as a health official. Asked if he would make an official investiga- tion if his department were request ed, he said he would not do so un- less present conditions changed.
 Chief Hart stated today that he had not had an opportunity to con- fer with Dr. Dumont, but when in formed that the latter official was satisfied said, Well, if Dr. Dumont is satisfied and the boys parents are satisfied, I don't care if they stay up until Christmas" Informed that the parents apparently approve, the po- lice head added: Well, somebody ought to talk to the parents"
 Parents Victims of Hoax
 Mystery surrounds a strange tele- phone call said to have been re- ceived by MT. and Mrs. Morley last evening. The call, received at the home. stated that the parents were requested to appear at the police station at 63o o'clock to confer with Chief Hart, Dr. Dumont and Prosecuting Attorney Joseph c. Woods. The parents appeared in ac- cordance with the alleged request, only to learn that they were the vic tims of a practical joker, inasmuch as none of the officials mentioned were aware of the call or knew any thing about a conference.
 In the meantime the boys, who do not actually sit but who have a small platform upon which they can lie down and who sometimes climb about the limbs of the tree so as not to lose the faculty of walking, ex- pect to remain in the tree until La bor Day.
 More Denunciations
 Secretary Ralph H. Benson of the Chamber ofCommerce this morning added his comment to those publish ed yesterday Tt is as ridiculous as all those people said yesterday and even more so,"

 Impossible Chasm Half Mile Wide
 Told to Set Price On Secrets.
 West Orange. N. J., July 31 (CP) Forty-nine youths. hopeful of win ming the title of Thomas A. Edison's brightest boy of 193O sat down to- day to puzzle over an examination that carried them from Egyptian deserts to Manchurian kitchens, from Tamerlane to Henry Ford, and from Avogrado's hypothesis to the coefficient of a micro -farad.
 This examination was something more than a test of knowledge of mathematical and chemical formu- lac. It was test of common sense and ethics. For example, after the boys had spent two hours and half on purely scientific questions, they found themselves faced with this nice problem in human behavior:
 You are the head of an expedi- ton which has come to grief in the desert. There is enough food and water left to enable three people to get to the nearest outpost of civili- zation. Tn rest must perish. Your companions are: a brilliant scientist, so years old two half breed guides, 5S and 32; the scientists wife, in- terested mainly in society manners, aged 39; her little son, aged s; the girl you are engaged to marry; your best friend. a young man of your own age who has shown great prom ise in the field of science.
 Which would you choose to live and which to die? Give your req sons"
 Exam in Four Parts
 The examination was divided in four parts, the most lengthy being confined to questions in chemistry, mathematics and physics.
 State Avogrado's hypothesis and show how it is used by chemists in the determination of molecular weight was the first of six ques- tions relating to chemistry. The boys must answer five out of the six.
 A typical mathematical question was the following:
 The base of a pyramid is square. each side of which is 12 inches long. Each of the other edges is 20 inches. Find the altitude and volume of the pyramid"
 In physics, among other things, the boys were asked to define the coefficlent of friction, of dyne, and of micro -farad.
 The so-called "humanities" enter ed largely into the second section of the test, the first question bidding the boys solemnly to say when you look back on your life from your death bed, by what facts will you
