Leaders in every walk of life of Waterbury joined today in expressing regret at MT Dow's passing and in extending their sym pathy 10 his wife, Mrs Alice Chat field Dow, president of the local Women's Republican club.
 MT Dow was born In New Ha- ven on July 31st 1878. Therefore. he was only in his 54th year when his death occurred. He was the son of Edwin c. and Hester Barnes Dow, deceased. The elder MT Dow was judge of the New Haven city court for years.
 At first MT Dow decided to fol- low In the footsteps of his father and took up the study of law after completing his education in the grammar and high schools of New Haven. He studied law for a time but later entered the employ of the Winchester Arms company, this be- ing in 1896. His ability was quick ly noted and he was finally advance ed to the position of purchasing agent.
 N A call to the Waterbury Clock company in 1912 brought MT Dow to the Brass City. He entered the local plant as a purchasing agent but as time went on he was ad- svanced to the position of assistant secretary. the post he held at the time of his death.
 Aside from his industrial duties, Mir Dow took a keen interest in civic affairs, not only from a poli- tical angle but also in way to aid the needy and better the busi- ness lifeiof the city as a whole. He was also active fraternally.
 Tn 1919 MT Dow was elected an alderman on the republican ticket. Tn 1921 he became president of the board and served in that capacity throughout the administration of ex-Mayor William H. Sandland, re- publican, and through part of the term of ex-Mayor Francis P. Guil- ,foile. He was succeeded as presi- dent of the board by the late Alder man Patrick McFadden.
 While president of the board of aldermen MT Dow served as Q member of the board of finance. His servcie on this board, there- fore, also lasted under two mayors, those of Sandland and Guilfoile.
 Several times MT Dow was men, tioned as the republican candidate for mayor and 1t is generally known that he could have headed the local g. o. p. ticket at any time had he so chosen. He was also urged unsuccessfully to run for senator in the 18th district in 1928.

 The state attorney argued that warrant issued by a grand jury of 23 citizens was not likely to be influenced by the states attorney $ office and could not be attributed to political reasons. Extradition treaties, he said, were designed to oblige criminals to face justice, and that judgment of the appeal court should show that Greece cannot serve as a criminal refuge.
 Attorney LaZarimons, speaking for Insull, described him as for mer secretary to Thomas Edison. "a great organizer and a man of extraordinary genius"
 The attorney contended that Treasurer Mccormick of the Insull companies, and not Insull, was the custodian of the money in ques- ton. In any event, the bylaws of the companies authorized the loans. which were duly signed by responsible officials. he said.
 Insull had no unlawful intent when he sanctioned a loan against collateral to prevent the sale of 5O,O0O utilities shares, LazarimOs aTRueus TIC bdiu LiiG bdic WOuu have resulted in a great drop in the remaining 3,150,000 shares of the companies.

 The greatness of his character. Iadas said, is shown by documents from the various companies he controlled, expressing deepest sor- row and recognizing the value of his services on his resignation.

Holiday Tragedy
 Takes 54 Lives
lContinued from Page D

ACOntlnued rom rage pendent upon the meager earnings of the men underground. Tho shock of the mine blast and the tragedy 1t brought the day before Christmas stu hung heavy over the 1,400 residents of the camp.
 One out of every five one-story frame house that struggled back from the hard road bisecting the camp was deprived of it's bread- winner.
 In these stricken homes. and in the homes of their neighbors, there was no Christmas joy, no holiday happiness. The men, wo- men, and children, accustomed to mine tragedies. still were dazed by the death which struck last Satur- day to give this community Amer ica's most sorrowful Christmas.
 Christmas trees stood unlight- ed, unnoticed.
 Gifts, already wrapped when the explosion occurred, lay untouched.
 Several churches cancelled ser- vices.
 Jolly Tom Jackson, who had been cast in the role of Santa Claus for the community celebra- ton, was among those trapped in the mine. The idea of substi- ute entered the mind of none.
 Mothers dropped their holiday baking when news of the blast sent them to the mine head to walt with waning hope that some of their men might have survived.
 To-day the shattered morale was reviving. Leaders were seeking aid to prevent otherwise certain suffering among the families whose wage earners were killed. A trust fund of $5O.000 was set as goal to provide for the survivors.
 Most of the miners who died left large families. One had 14 chil- dren. Others had many as Q dozen.
 The victims had put aside little toward q rainy day. The mine had been working with fair regularity for four months, but wages were little more than enough to feed the many children. Almost half the mine's normal force of 120 men was wiped out.
 Glenn Shafer, the mine owner, said it would be several months before operations could be re- sumcd.
 The mine Is the only industry. If digging cannot be resumed un- til spring. the families of miners who survive as we'll as those di- rectIy hit by the tragedy will face suffering.
 Rescue workers. grimy and weary from the fight to clear the debris filled passages of the mine. said chances were less than a thou sand 10 one that any survived.
 One more body was found late last night. For 100 feet or more a heavy fall of shale and rock blocked the chamber. Several missing men were believed buried under this mass.
 John Millhouse, state mine bu- reau chief. who is directing the re- lief efforts. said there was almost no chance any men in the north passage had survived. Miilhouse said condition of the north tunnel indicated this was the location of the Initial explosion.
 The terrific blast dropped the men almost in their tracks.

Don Herr Company Gives
Special Service on Cars

take the car to Electric Headquar-
tiers, another name for the Don
Herr Company, Kentucky avenue
and Maryland street.
Here they will apply the knowl
edge gained by operating a speciality
for years, and in about as quick time
as it takes to tell, you will know what
is the matter, and a skilled electri-
clan will be fixing it up.
Then, If it be found that some
part is damaged too much, or has
worn out, you will not have to wait
while a boy is sent across town to
get the part you need and the me-
chanic stalls at your expense. In
stead, the man working on your car
will go to the stockroom and get
what is needed, put it on your car
and send you out happier. That is
Dom Herr service.
General Manager Herr realizing
the steady demand for complete
service station equipped his estab-
lishment with all the latest instru-
mentS to check any part of an au-
tonobile that is not functioning
properly. This costly expenditure
on the part of Herr was done solely
with the idea of eliminating all
guesswork from the part of repair
bills.
This he has accomplished and
any one taking his car to the Don
Herr Company today can be sure
that it will be thoroughly repaired
in the quickest possible time.

ASSAIL ARCHBISHOP
Arrest of PapaI Primate in
Mexico Sought.
By United Press

By United Press
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 8.-The de-
mand of the national revolutionary
party bloc of deputies for the ar
rest of Archbishop Pascual Diaz,
papal primate, on charges of hav-
ing failed to register as one of the
twenty-five priests permitted to
function in Mexico City today ap-
peared doomed to failure.
1t was learned reliably that the
churchman had already registered
as archbishop of Mexico in a man
ner, which will probably prove &C
ceptable to the government.
The committee charged that
Archbishop Diaz openly officiated
at important religious services
without having registered.
Developments Friday followed
closely on the adoption of a reso-
luton by the Vera Cruz state leg
islature requesting congress TO expel
all Catholic priests, and to take
possession of their churches.
The Most Rev. Leopoldo Ruiz
y Flores, representative of the pope
in Mexico, was expelled from Mex
leo earlier in the week following
publication of an encyclicaI charg-
ing persecution of Catholics by
Mexican officials.

BRAKES TESTED
BY COSSEY co.
Special Equipment Takes
Care of Motorists.

More and more drivers of cars
are finding that deceleration is even
more important than acceleration.
With traffic growing heavier on city
streets and country highways, it is
of vital Importance to be able to
stop "on dime" when necessary.
The condition of the brakes on
your car may mean a matter of life
or death within the next twenty
fou- hours, and it is not only good
sense to be prepared, but a duty
you owe to fellow citizens who use
the highways.
Since advent of four wheel brakes
another danger has appeared. Even
though the brakes may be capable
of stopping the ear, they may be so
far out of adjustment that the front
wheels turn slightly whenever the
pedal is pressed, having a. tendency
to Swerve the car toward oncoming
traffic on the other side of the road,
or toward the ditch on the right.
Sometimes, too, there is wabbling
of a bent axle or wheel out of
alignment to complicate the danger.
How long has it beel since the
brakes in your car were tested?
The CoSsey Superservice, 1929 East
New York street, has the ReisS
brake testing machine and, the
Steer O. Master.
With these special equipments,
they can tell exactly just how much
braking power is exerted by the
drums on each wheel, or how secure
your steering gear may be, and ad-
justments can be made with perfect
| accuracy.
