followed to his grave in Cedar
Hill Cemetery by one friend, a

 in economic matters, brought up the Hoover panic" and predicted greater deficits and increasing gov- ernmental costs under republican rule.
 Senator Hatfield, republican. w. Va, sharply criticized suggestions at the commerce convention that tar- if rates be lowered in an effort to relieve the worldwide depression. He said: The American public is now witnessing most unique scene, 200 or more international bankers and foreign manufacturers, meeting in the city of Washington, and de- ciding what the American congress should do for the enrichment of foreigners"
 He particularly criticized Julius H. Barnes for the latter's comments on the tariff, and characterized him as being Interested as an American exporter" He said no friend of the farmer would reduce the Shoot Hawley schedules.
 Rep Ramseyer, republican, Iowa, said the democrats had allied themselves with the foreign manu- lecturers and international bankers in attempting to dictate to the United States what shall be done for the enrichment of foreigners" Any Americans, he said, who favor tariff reduction "are either without a true understanding of our na- tional needs or they are devoid of patriotism"
 Senator Hull, democrat. Tennes- see, satirically hailed the news" recently announced by Rep Wood, republican, Indiana, that President Hoover had averted a panic. He said:
 "The good tidings that the Hoov- CT panic has been averted will be news to the American industrialists who have been ruined, the bankrupt farmers and the 6,000,000 men out of work. The soup houses and bread lines, which under this administra- tion have become features of every important community for the first time in half a century, are prob- ably evidences of the success of the present government in heading off national poverty and of the fulfill ment of Herbert Hoover's campaign promises
 Rep Byrns, democrat, Tennessee, predicted greater fedora! expendi- lures next year than this. He said the government now is running be- hind at the rate of "more than $2,000,000 day." and challenged the presidents recent statement that 8 saving of $315.000.000 could be effected in the next fiscal year.

also, but the storm passed over and was followed by the sun which beat down strongly upon the city until early afternoon.
 At about 3:30 o'clock in the after noon the skies darkened and the wind took on brisk attitude. Crow ing in velocity, the wind finally, at 1O:3O o'clock last night, brought a thunder and lightning storm which for a while kept the city worried. The lightning was sharp and the thunder was loud.
 Rain fell heavily and in the midst of the storm hailstones, about the size of marbles, fell, cutting leaves to ribbons and injuring fruit trees in blossom, somewhat. The storm lasted about two hours, as far as its intensity was concerned, and about an inch of rain fell.
 Lights in the city wavered few times and almost went out at one period of the storm. A Connecticut Light and Power company trans- former on Watertown avenue was put out of commission, darkening Ia small portion of the city. Another transformer was burned out on up- per Hamilton avenue, also shutting off small section. Both pieces of damage, however, were repaired in quick order by the emergency crews of the Connecticut Light and Power company. AS whole the lighting service held up excellently.
 The Southern New England Tele- phone company reported that the amount of trouble reported as a re- suit of the storm was about normal. Service was kept going continuously, almost, though, despite the severity of the storm.
 In nearby towns the lightning raised havoc. Down the valley it kept people in constant worry. It struck one house in the lower valley and the structure was burned to the ground.
 In view of the fact that the storm was really the first real one of the season. it's severity caused consider able comment throughout the com munity.
 Superintendent of Streets Thomas Fleming stated to-day that several hilly streets felt the rain consider ably. However. he had his men on the job early and they were quickly completing their work early this aft ernoon.
