 Oxford Child

Deputy Coroner Walter W. Smyth in his official finding to-day ex- onerated John c. Leary of 103 York street, New Haven, from all criminal responsibility in connection with the death of Joseph Koslosky, 3, of OK ford. The child was struck and fatal. ly injured in that town on May 10th The youngster had darted from his mothers side to run and meet his sister on the opposite side of the highway.
 The finding. explaining the circum- stances of the accident, reads as fol lows:
 On the afternoon of May 10th, 1881, at about three o'clock, the de- ceased, Joseph Koslosky, the three and a half year old son of MT. and Mrs. Joseph koslosky of 57 Pine street, Seymour, accompanied by his mother was on the westerly side of the Oxford -Danbury road in the town of Oxford near the Seymour town line almost opposite Mahoney's gaso- line filling station.
 At this time John c. Leary of 1O3 York street, New Haven, operating a 1926 model Hudson roadster, was proceeding northerly towards the town of Oxford. Leary was a proper ly licensed operator of motor ve- hicles.
 The boys mother was engaged in conversation with Mrs. Edith Sprague of the Great Hill road in Seymour, who had parked her Oakland sedan facing south on the westerly side of the road a short distance south of Mahoney's gasoline station. Deceased had been standing by his mothers side while she was taking with Mrs. Sprague but wanted to cross the road to join his sister who was on the easterly side of the road.
 In front seat of the Hudson car with Leary was Ida Weinstein of 301 George street, New Haven. while her sister, Dorothy Weinstein and Rose Calvin also of New Haven, oc- cupied the rumble seat. Leary was travelling at a reasonable rate of speed. As he approached the parked car of Mrs Sprague the deceased left his mothers side and ran around the back of the car and into the roadway. The roadway at this point is 19 feet wide and the de- ceased had almost reached the east erly side of the road when he was struck by Leary's car.
 Although Leary applied his brakes (which were in good condition) as soon as he saw the deceased come into the roadway, he was unable to stop his car before striking the child. The Koslosky boy was thrown to the right side of the roadway with considerable force. He was imme- diately picked up and carried to Dr

Italian Government And Vatican Are To
 Stop All Trouble

Il-feelng has kept alive by a newspaper controversy, the fascist press accusing the Catholic laymen's organization, Azione Cattolica, o1 indulging in political activity look. ing towards the establishment of @ Catholic party in opposition to fasc- ism, and the vatican organ renounc- ing the fascists for attacks on Catho- lies.
 Pressure was put on the press to- day. The Observatore Romano, vat can organ, announced it would suspend it's daily column listing 'in- suits on Catholics, and the Lavora Fascista, fascist labor organ, an- nouncing simultaneously it would suspend it's attacks on Azione. The fascist press was understood to have been advised against printing at- tacks which would prejudice the negotiations under way for a peace. full settlement.
 The following statement. inspired by the Vatican, was issued:
 "The attitude of the Holy See in the present events is that there IS not the slightest desire that the con- cordat (between Italy and Vatican City as sovereign state) should be iroken. On the contrary, it has desired that the Lateran agreements should be fully maintained, in the same spirit of harmony and cord lality with which they were con- Gluded.
 'It has desired that the concordat should not be considered a scrap of paper to be cast aside at will or violated arbitrarily or one-sidedly. It has desired that the concordat should be considered just what it Is. namely, an international pact to be honored by both sides in accordance with the principles of international law"
