 Apparently failing to realize the dangerous slope of the hill Stevens started down the grade without shifting his gears. The machine gained such momentum that when the young man applied his brakes the car swerved and crashed into a fence and overturned. Miss Hem derson was instantly killed. Mrs Ramsay died few hours later in the Waterbury hospital. Mrs Jessie Smith, 66, aunt of the deceased, and Stevens escaped injury.

The youngsters name was placed on the danger list yesterday after noon. To-day 1t was thought that his general condition showed a slight improvement. Develop nents of last evening have dis closed the fact that the youngster instead of being the victim of a strange maladv was actually the victim of a hit-and-run driver.
 The police in view of early re- ports of the discovery of the boy made no extensive investigation an dreceived somewhat of sur- prise when Carl E. Loether, 18,z of 50 Park place walked into police headquarters last evening and sur- rendered himself as the driver in- voIved in the accident. The youth was accompanied by Rev John N. Lewis. rector of St Johns Episco- pal church to whom Loether went for counsel. The young man be- came frightened and excited af- ter the accident and drove away from the scene of the mishap. He was arraigned in police court this morning on the Charges of reckless driving and operating without a 1i- cense. He was paroled in the custody of Rev MT Lewis pending the outcome of the boys injuries and a hearing on October 18th.

 When the mother of the in- jured lad was questioned she stated that he had complained lately of feeling i'll and slept almost con- tinuously when. at home. When one touched his head he shoutel with pain. As there were no ,abrasions or decorations about the headsit was first believed that the boy was the victim of sleeping sickness or paralysis. The police accepted this theory and made no investigation after questioning Mrs Collette.
 X-rays were taken of the injured boy yesterday and the proofs to- day showed that his skull was frac- tured. He is being kept under observation for possible other in juries.

He said in a statement that the prob

the debtor country.
The company would issue bonds equal
to each annual installment and the
United States would take these in pay
ment of the debt. The bonds would
bear interest large enough to establish
an amortization fund, so that in the
end, the bonds would be paid out OF
the income. The bonds would be
guaranteed by the debtor nation.
This Prof. De Hass said, would solve
the present economic deadlock: Inc

countries in the form Of raw materials
which this country needs for its in

Thus, he explained, the debts would
give employment in the debtor coun-
tries and would aid in the building up

markets and increasing the standard of
living. In the end, the productive i'm
provements would become the property
