 Supt. Boyd has been described as suggesting that whatever the results of the various Investigations might be the attention drawn to the insti- tuition should result in the appro- priation of money to erect certain buildings which he has been advo- eating for a long while.
 The Meriden Journal yesterday said a check up from six sources failed to substantiate charges made by the family of John Fraser of Hartford that the boy had been brutally beaten with a club at tho school before being admitted to the local hospital where he died.
 The death certificate filed in the city clerks office shows lobar pneu- monia as the cause of death. Dr. |. E. Blodinger, now practicing in New Haven, who as interne at the hos pital signed the certificate. said that no scars were apparent on the boy at the time.
 Dr. T. ?. Murdock of this city. a member of the state medical exam ing board, was attending physician to Fraser. He said he did not re- call the case but was certain that if there had been marks on the body he would have remembered them. Miss Ellen Mcintyre, hospital super intendent, said there had been no indication that the boy was beaten.
 Clifford j.. Champion of Hartford, cmbalmer; and J. A. Whitney, un- dcrtaker, both said they could not recall any case of a boys body being scared.

with the exception of Quiglcy, Smith, and Alderman David l.. Nair. The alderman is considering candidacy, but to, date has made no definite statement.
 Tax Collector Bernadotte Loomis has announced he will again ask the republican party to nominate him for the office he has filled for about 5 years, and it is not expected that he will have a primary fight. Several democrats have been approached with suggestions that they seek elec- ton to this office. Party leaders have predicted the nomination of one of the younger of their group, now connected with the city government but not as an elective official.
 The democrats will have their first smoker and political gathering next Monday night in headquarters in the Erwin hotel building. Primary dates will be announced at that time and declarations of candidacy arc eX- pected.
 Chairman Harry Ginsburg of the republican town committee, who made known yesterday that an- nouncement of a candidate for the republican nomination for mayor is expected this week, said today he has heard nothing concerning the boom launched in the interests of George k. Macauley now in the south.
 Chairman Ginsburg's announce ment added strength to the report that an organization-ba backed candi- date will be put in the field to op- pose former Mayor Quigley in the republican primary.

Professionalism and that it had been planned purposely ito interfere with Catholic services by ultimately mak- ing it impossible to offer the sacra- ments of the mass" He also said prohibition had saved more lives than America lost in the World War, estimating 100000 deaths had been prevented by the dry laws. Burtness appeared to reply to testimony that prohibition was a handicap to farm- CTS by curtailing markets. He denied this was true and said North Dallo- ta had prospered during the fl years that it has had a dry statute.
 Committee Room Filled
 By the time Mrs. Straw wbridge took the witness chair the committee room was filled. She took issue with MT. Atterbury at the outset of her testimony. Later she directed her attack to Pierre S. Du Pont, the Delaware capitalist and also a di- rector of the association against the prohibition amendment.
 Du Pont, she said, was a prohibi- tionist in ''his own gun powder plant and publicly an anti-prohibitionis for himself and his motor driving friends"
 Two Endorse Law
 Appearing in rapid succession 0 farmer and manufacturer took the witness chair of the committee today as hearings reopened and warmly endorsed the eighteenth amendment.
 Waiting to be heard as soon as they concluded was Miss Ruth K. S. Strawbridge, of Philadelphia, who has been turned to by the friends of prohibition to combat the contention of the vets that fashionable society, especially the younger generation, in many instances chat over the cocktail glass instead of the teacup.
 First to be heard today was Rep. Olger B. Burtness. of North Dakota, one of the republicans who went against the wishes of Calvin Coolidge and supported the equalization fee principle of farm relief embodied in the rejected McNary-Haugen farm bill.
 He said working men of his state now were drinking milk instead of liquor; that agricultural conditions in North Dakota had not been ag- eravated by the dry law, and the state had prospered under fl years of prohibition.
 Callahan Next Speaker
 Patrick II. Callahan, of Louisville, Ky, chairman of the central cooper ative committee for prohibition en- forcement, was next to testify. He asserted that prohibition had saved more lives than America lost in the World War. He presented in sup port of his claim statistics from the census bureau.
 The witness also denied that pro- hibition was identified only with Pro- testantism, as secretary of the asso- citation of Catholics favoring prohi- bition, he said he could state that this was untrue. z
 Burtness was placed on the stand by the dry forces to reply to Peirce Blewett, of North Dakota, who some time ago told the committee that more liquor was being consumed in the state now than before prohibition and that the dry law by curtailng the demand for Barley had worked
