Tree-Sitting Attacked
 As Dangerous to Trees

New York, Aug. II (UP)- Martin L. Davey. noted tree ex- pert, who notes with alarm. the current tree sitting endurance craze, has urged the craze stop as benefit to trees.
 Most people," says Davey, don't realize the harm that can be done to the bark and the limbs of trees by mistreatment.
 As a tree surgeon, one of the first things Davey teaches his stu dents is how to climb d tree cor rectly. Rubber soles and rope are the important equipment of tree climbers.
 Trees that have been used as roosts by misdirected ambitions of record seekers, Davey said to- day will probably show the eff fleets of ill usage.

Twenty-Five gallons of alcohol in cans nearly caused the death of An thony Rumani. IS, of 121 Whiting street, this city. last night.
 Rumani bought the alcohol in Hartford and was on his way home with it, and while speeding by Bat terson park, attracted the attention of Chief Nathan w. Fuller and Con- stable C. H. Wollenberg of Farm ington. They gave chase and not being able to gain upon the car, Constable Wollenberg drew his re- volver and fired into the air.
 The shots caused Rumani to step harder on the accelerator and then the officer shot at the tires and punctured one. Despite the fiat tire, Rumani kept on, entering Farming ton avenue and continuing into New Britain. Another shot from the off, cer's revolver entered the gas tank and a third shot entered the alcohol can.

Rumani could not make the corner on two wheels.
 Bruised and with one shoulder Wrenched, Rumani was arrested and taken back to Pennington. His car was taken away while nearly 1000 persons looked on and wonder ed what it was all about. The al cohol was taken by Chief Fuller to be used as evidence when Rumani was tried

ITALIAN REFUGEE
 SUCCUNBS IN ALPS
FleeS Fascist Regime, Dies Within Sight Of Goal

Paris, Aug. Ii JP)-A tragic story was brought from Chambery today about the rate of an Italian refugee, fleeing from the Fascist re- gime, who perished in the Alps al most within sight of his goal.
 The refugee was one of the band who are braving the Alpine glaciers and snow-swept passes almost daily in an effort to reach France. A considerable toll Of lives is being exacted among the fugitives.
 One of the emigrants arriving at Chambery said he saw a body stretched out in the snow on the Rochemelon glacier. He was afraid to notify Italian authorities for fear he would be captured. The emi- grant accompanied French searchers from Chambery and they discovered the body after a quest of 40 hours Papers on the body told the story.
 Leaves PitifuI Note
 One torn scrap Of paper said:
 T went to the Rochemelon shrine to ask the grace Of the Madonna. AS l was returning I fell among the rocks. In the event no one rescues me, l ask Gods pity. If l am found dead l ask the finders to inform my father than my last thought is for him."
 The papers revealed the unfor- tunate mans identity as Charles fantozzi of Turin. His father was notified imm mediately.
 The objective of the many fugi- tives is Chambery in the foothills of the Alps. The caravans arrive all most daily after surmounting the perils of the cold and night, ire quently leaving numbers of dead en route.
 The latest caravan contained 30 men. women and children, who told of a successful evasion Of the vigil lance of the frontier guards, only to be overtaken by night in the freez- ing valleys. two miles high. All would have died of cold except for a chance meeting with a party of French officers on reconnaissance. who directed them to Chambery.

$50 LOSS BY FIRE
 IMP. ]. BUILDING
Firemen Use Water Sparingly
 and Prevent Mail Damage

Damage of less than $50 was done in a fire in the post office ear ly Sunday morning that was caused
 by a short circuit of the wiring on the stamping and counting machine, but from the amount of smoke that poured from the building before the fremen arrived, it appeared as though the building would be de stroyed.
 Police Officer Thomas H. Lee. pa
 trolling his beat on South High street saw the smoke and ran 10 sound the alarm. Bremen enter ed the lobby with hose squirting Wa ter. but Immediately shut the water off when it was found that the smoke was behind the letter boxes and lobby partition.
 A door was broken down and a spray was turned on to the small blaze that was found near the can ceiling machine. The fire was ex- tinguished in less than a minute. but 1t was some time before all of the smoke was out of the building.
 Postmaster H. l.. Erwin today gave high praise to Officer Lee and to the tircmen. He said, Police man Lee certainly did a fine piece of work when he acted so promptly after seeing the smoke coming out of the building, and the tiremen were wonderfully careful and con- siderate. They did not turn on a deluge of water, but used only what was necessary with the result that Il little mopping up for about ten min utes was all that was required They showed rare judgment and dIn happy about it."
 Four pieces of mail were slightly scorched. but not enough to deface the addresses, and were delivered today. The mail had been sorted and racked, and not even a letter was water soaked. The mail that was slightly scorched was near the machine. The only dam age was 10 bench and the cancel Ing machine, and there was no de- lay in the mails, for Postmaster E,r- win had spare machine that could be used. The scorched machine will be repaired at an estimated cost O. less than $50.

WOULD TAG AUTOS i BLOCKING FIREMEN
Noble Considers Plan as Result
 Of Saturday Experience

The next meeting of the board of aldermen and common council will probably be asked to pass an ordi- nance, effective immediately, to en- power the fire chief or his assistants to tag all cars that block fire ap- paratus on the way to fires, and cause the owners of the tagged cars to appear in police court and pay . heavy fine.
 This action was being considered today by Chief w. J. Noble as a re- suit of the inability of the fire ap- paratus to reach a fire Saturday night on upper Stanley street, when a barn, owned by B. M. Bagdigian, was burned to the ground with a loss of about s6,000, because so many cars, driven by sight-seers blocked the road for more than a half mile that the apparatus could not get through. Bremen had to walk through fields and in gutters to get to the fire. but could not fight 1t without the apparatus.
 The practice of sight-seers Chas- Ing fire apparatus and even getting ahead of it and blocking the way to fires, may result in disaster in this city some time, Chief Noble believes, and he wants the practice stopped now.
 The loss at the fire Saturday night was confined to hay and struc- ture. There was no live stock in the barn. Being located on hill, the blaze attracted attention from every part of the city and it was fully an hour after the barn had burned be- fore traffic was strengthened out. The police were almost powerless for more than an hour.

MURRAY CANDIDATE FOR IMPEACHMENT
Oklahoma Hitch Hiker Favored
 in GubeTnatOrial Race

Oklahoma City. Aug. II OP)- Bill Murray went into the torrid heat of Tishomingo today, changed his campaign shirt, and announced he had rested his case as "a candi- date for impeachment"
 Murray is the man mentioned by most persons, including himself, as Cklahoma's next governor. The states hottest campaign since the rearing nineties will be climaxed tomorrow in final primary cleo ticn.
 Tishomingo is the territorial town where Bill settled down in a house with a dirt floor, married an h. dlan, read and wrote books and emerged the sage of Oklahoma political politics.
 He wrote the state constitution, sat in congress and more recently adventured five years as an Ameri- can colonist in Bolivia.
 Appears Certain Winner
 Today he appeared to be cer- tain winner over Frank Buttram, "'dllHS oll llldli anu PlllId IIIl OpIsN' for the democratic nomination for governor, usually equivalent to cleo tion.
 Murray said attempts were on foot 10 impeaCh him, if he is elect ed. AS far back as January 8, when he announced his platform ito jar the political trust loose from con- trol of the state,' Murray asserted, ''be it so-then I am a candidate for impeachment"
 Murray is known as Alfalfa Bill"
 His oratory against high bind CTS and flunkies," his platform for tax revision and legislation for "tho great middle class" and his rustic appeal sent him into the run-off primary with a 10000 vote lead over Buttram. It also brought the i'm peachment threat.
 But I'll impeach my impeachers," Murray said.
 If the legislature tries to i'm peach me, it will be like a bunch of jackrabbits trying to pull wild cat from a tree.'
 Opponents Ridicule Murray
 Murray was dubbed Wild Bill of Bolivia" by his opponents.
 Murray is an opportunist trying to ride to the governors office on the shoulders of hot weather and crop depression" Buttram said.
 For six years Murray worked, and failed" added Carl Magce of the Oklahoma News He wrecked everyone who went with him, then returned alone, like a bedraGgled Napoleon from Elba, and called his political warriors about him. l hope 1t presages his Waterloo"
 The turbulent days or Jack Wal ton, the distracted days of Henry Johnston, with impeachment up- heavals of both, will return with a vengeance if Murray wins said the Daily Oklahoman.
 Murray's race is akin to that of Thomas P. Gore. blind orator and former senator who donned a nick ory shirt to stump the rural sections.
 He opposes C. J. Wrishtsman, a wealthy oil man, for the democratic senatorial nomination. Gore obtain ed 197 votes more than Wrightsman in the initial primary.
