Fast Driving and
 Traffic Hazards
Unusual Conditions Quick. ly VisuaIized By Fast
 Operators

Operators of automobiles who drive excessively fast invariably disregard traffic hazards with which they are most familiar. but usually slow down when they come 10 unusual conditions. Thes" facts are shown In the records oi accidents in which speed was actor compiled by he Connccti- cut Department of Motor Vehicles.
 The operators who come 10 grief because of speed pay little nttcntion, according to the records. 10 intersections. curves or condi- lions of heavy traffic. Accidents Involving speed and these nag ards arc numerous Opposed arc reports which show that very few high speed" accidents occun whether the road surface Is bad or more han ordinarily rough. Also. I, is true nat there are few scrl- ous speeding accidents when weather conditions are bad. Only two were reported in q period Of more than four months. but few have high speed as s contributing cause.
 Traffic congestion of some sort has proved to be the Rreatcst con tributin9 hazard for spceders.

 High speeds have resulted in T number of particularly serious ac- cldents In Connecticut during the past six months. In almost all Of these cases high rates were con tinued although conditions de marded less speed These acct dents have done much 10 make the number Of persons killed in the six months twelve more than Tn the corresponding period of lart year. and this. despite the fact that the total of all accidents is .43l less than q year ago. Speed has not been the most frequent of these deaths. however. Many Of the old careless actions Of pedestrians and operators have rcappenred this year with serious results. The main traffic peril for pedestrians still is careless ness in stepping from behind parked vehicle, and in crossing streets at unRuarded places. The blame is such accidents Is often difficult to place. but the care iessness of pedestrians seems to be equalIed. according to the rec ords, by the lack of the caut'on of operators in falling to . for pedestrians.

 Apparently in possession of fn- formation gained through the ef- forts of an advance agent the fed- eral officers on their arrival here yesterday afternoon knew their ob- jectives. They were armed with warrants for the three places. No other visits were made, but the fact that they were in Waterbury was sufficient for owners and man. agers to declare a half holiday.
 Kennaugh was released under bonds of $500 for hearing next Tuesday. while Danisavage, who has a previous record, was obliged to post a bond of $1,000 for a hearing on the goth. Two quarts of liquor were found in the Bishop

The first offer was made while Calvin Coolidge was vice. president and the second came early this year. Subsequently she decided to build a haif-miliion-d -doi- lar residence for the Greek am- bassador. Perturbed by efforts of her granddaughter, Mrs Beatrice Henderson Wholean, to prevent such gifts, Mrs Henderson dis owned her and revealed that Mrs Wholean was not her granddaugh- ter but had been adopted. Among the dowager's other public gifts was $2,000,000 for the erection of a "Better Race" college, three years ago.

BANKERS FORCED
 WAGE REDUCTIONS
 MAINTAINS LABOR

Vancouver, B. C., Oct 5.-(UP) A charge that American bankers forced wage reduction in industry was made to-day in the annual report of the executive committee of the American Federation of La Dor.
 Bankers, controlling industrial policies by their control of credit. acted on the fundamental hypoth- esis that labor should be kept al- ways dependent. the II executive officers of the federation said in the 159 page report.
 'It is the modern version of the master and servant philosophy that has curbed labor's efforts and ann bitions for progress" the report commented. .
 An opposite philosophy. that labor is a partner in production and should profit accordingly, was advanced by the committee. which declared that high wages was the basis of prosperity.
 The executives urged nine- point program for relieving unem- ployment this winter. t.
 They recommended maintaining wages. shortening working hours. definite assurance of employment to remove q physiological barrier to spending. hiring of more men by all employers. enlarged public building, stranger public employ ment agencies. keeping young per- sons in school and out of work. job preferences for persons with dependants and financial relief from public and private funds.

News of the apprehension of klobedanz was received here with considerable elation. The only fear at present is that the young man has now obtained liberty through some legal technicality and will not be available when the local police want him. Word was expected here momentarily to-day that klobedanz was still in the custody of the police and would be detained until the arrival of the local authorities.
 During the month of August a long series of breaks" that re- suited in more than a score of prominent residences being burg larized and valuables taken not onl yagitated the public but led to unusual police precautions. Special squads of policemen. plain clothes men, were placed on night duty, in the vicinity of the Colum- bia boulevard, in various sections of Overlook. Bunker Hill and low CT Willow street.

AL CAP0NE
 ON I RIAL
 TOMORROW
BY RAY BLACK

Chicago, Oct 5-(UP)-Alphonse Capone will be brought into federal court tomorrow to face the show down of his II years of rackets and will take with him the memory of his first openly hostile demonstra- ton in public.
 He was booed while he sat watching the Northwestern-Neb- raska football game at Evanston Saturday and still further -derided when he left the field before the fourth quarter had been played.
 The hooting came from the bleachers, where Capone had to hunt Q seat like any other person who had neglected to obtain tick cts in advance. The chorus of dis approval started between halves of the game. Capone's training for his court appearance, which re- moved 50 pounds from his paunchy bulk, apparently had delayed re- cognition from the crowd.
 Thousands of Boy Scouts were spectators at the game and when the catcalls at Capone continued and he took flight, fully 200 of the scouts trailed along behind. gleefully speeding his departure with a final chorus.
 At 10 o'clock tomorrow morn- ing, in United states district court. the biggest "big shot" of them all faces final reckoning for his era of aggrandizement. He is listed for trial on a charge of evading income taxes.
 The government has collected the aces of its prosecuting staffs in Washington and Chicago to try to convict Capone of 22 counts con- tained in two indictments charging he defrauded the government of $2l5,00O in tax on an income Of S1,O38,654 over the six-year period from 1924 to 1929 inclusive.
 The charges do not specify the sources of the income. No one in the nation old enough to read needs to be told what "rackets'' poured their profits into the coffers of the Capone syndicate.
 In effect, the swarthy gang chief tain who invaded Chicago after matriculation in the notorious five points" gang of Nel. York will be called on to answer for an epoch of despotism which supplied the middle west with beer and liquor depots, speakeasies. brothels. gam bling halls and gunmen's lairs.
 Capone's appearance at the foot ball game gives an inkling of his attitude. He appeared with "Ma-
