WOMEN FLYERS
 HAVE COME DOWN
Landed at lO:46 This Morning = Made 237
 Hours and 43 Minutes

Miami, Fla, Dec 30-UP)- Mrs Francis Marsalis and Miss Helen Richey landed their mono- plane Outdoor Girl" at 10:46 a. m. (EST) today terminating their re- fueling endurance record fight which began Dec. 20.
 The plucky girl flyers, "extreme- ly tired but very happy" estab- lished a new record for women of 237 hours and 43 minutes, far eclipsing the old mark of 196 hours and five minutes set last year by Mrs Marsalis and Louise Thaden.
 A large crowd of admirers greet ed the two birdwomen as they fin- ally brought their plane to ground for the first time since shooting aloft at 1903 p. m. week ago Wednesday.
 Decision to end the fight came early today after a night of heavy winds and generally rough flying which greatly fatigued the two pilots.
 A waiting ambulance, with d nurse and other attendants, carried the flyers direct to their hotel after they had landed. The crowd press ed in. Photographers took hurried snapshots.
 No official celebration was plan ned until the flyers. tired and weary have a complete rest.

CITY REGISTRARS OF VOTERS ARE
 FACING ARREST
Bench Warrants May Be Issued for Failure to
 Perform Duties

Bench warrants for the arrest of Registrars of Voters Henry O'Con- nor and Thomas F. Dillane have
 been sought by William J. Pape,
 local publisher, 1t was learned from a reliable source today. States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis, when interviewed, stated that Mt Pape had discussed the matter with him but explained that he would refuse to give out any details of the plans Or suggestions at this time.
 Failure to properly take care of the voting lists of the city of Wa terbury, it is understood, comprise the main complaint against the two registrars.
 Should the warrants be issued from the states attorney office, the two registrars would be brought di. rectly before the superior court. Tn this way, there would be no possi- bility of having the case heard in the city court. Decision there would result in appeal to the common pleas court and froEi there to the supreme court. If the case is brought into the superior court the only appeal would be to the su- preme court, cutting out one step of litigation.
 MT. Pape, the we'll known pub- fisher, visited the offices of States Attorney Lewis Thursday and spent much time in discussing the mat ter. No decision on whether or not to issue the warrants was reached, as far as could be learned. States Attorney Lewis stated that as a state and court official he could not issue any statement on the sub- ject at this time. He did not deny, however, that MT. Pape had vis- ited with him and discussed the situation regarding the office of the registrars of voters.
 It is well known that an inten- sive investigation of the registrars office has been prosecuted for many months and that the claim has been made by the Pape forces that the condition of the voting list for the past several years has not been of the best.

GOLD SNAP HAS BEGUN TO SHOW
 BREAK IN CITY
Thermometers, However, Still Hover Around the
 Zero Mark To-day

After going through two of the coldest days they have experienced in many, many year, Waterbur- ians today were looking forward to slightly warmer weather as the mercury began slowly to mount in the thermometer. At midnight, last night, the Democrats record ing thermometer showed the tenn perature to be eight degrees below zero while at 10 o'clock this morning the mercury had climbed to point two degrees below. The weather man promised cloudy weather for today and cloudy and warmer weather for tomorrow.
 Just what warmer weather means remains to be seen, but Waterburians who have gone through two days which saw the mercury drop a slow as 10 degrees below, in protected spots. and 20 degrees below, in exposed places, will, no doubt, consider 10 de- grees above warm" for the pres ent, at least.
 Thermometers in exposed places this morning indicated that the temperature was between eight and ten degrees below zero. But protected thermometers showed slightly higher readings. For in- stance, on Bauby's corner at 8 o'clock this morning the thermmc- eter showed nine degrees below while the Democrats recording thermometer gave reading of three below. A happy medium between protected and unprotect-

President May Fight The SilDer Legislation
Doesn't Want Any Action This Winter, Until London Agreement on the White MetaECOngress
 to Have Battle
By LYLE c. WILSON United Press Stan COrrespondent) Copyright 1883, by the United
 PreSS)

Washington, Dec 30-(UP)- A Administration congressional lead CTS were said on good authority to- day to be under orders to block all silver legislation this winter pend ing outcome of the London agree ment effort to increase the price of that metal.
 Informed exposition of adminis- tration policy shows that President Roosevelt is determined to deal with silver within the scope of in- ternational agreement. He may eventually go beyond the London agreement itself. But, if so, the next move likewise would be the outcome of international discus sion.
 On that issue the president will meet and fight the congressional remonetization group this winter. The effort~to- oeal-xith silver by international action is the reverse of MT Roosevelt's gold policy. On gold the United States just now is going it alone.
 Organization of a free silver coinage bloc of 26 senators yes- terday under auspices of Senator Wheeler, dem. Mont, has not moved the administration from its international program. The first move last week was an order for coinage of minimum of 24,00O,- 900 ounces of silver annually at a seignorage fee of 50 per cent. That automatically lifted the price of newly mined, domestic silver to GA 1-2 cents an ounce.
 Comparing that price with the $34.06 an ounce at which the Re- construction Finance corporation will purchase gold the coining ra- tio between the two metals is more than 50 to l. Wheeler and many of his silver colleagues want free coinage at 16 to l. So far MT Roosevelt has given them limited coinage only and at upwards of 50- to-1.
 It is not likely that gap can be closed at this session of congress with which the silver men enter regardless of the obvious power the fight.
 The meeting of the silver bloc, In fact, did not upset the president at all. Not many hours after the silverites dispersed administration leaders on Capitol Hill had the in side story of what had taken place. It was not tale to alarm leaders who have the power of the White House to resort to if rebellion must be quelled.
 In the first place the silverites could not agree on a ratio for re- lnonetization. Knowing that would le impossible they did not even at- tempt it. Secondly. Wheeler him self was careful to point out to questioners that his conference was not to fight administration money plans but to supplement them.

GOLD WAVE HAS BEEN STOPPED
Believed the Backbone of Zero Weather Is Broken
 in This State

New Haven, Conn, Dec 30.- (UP) -The backbone of the cold wave which has held stubbornly to below-zero temperatures for the past two days, was believed broken today in Connecticut.
 After descending to an. official low of 7.7 degrees below here at 6 o'clock, the mercury started to rise and, according to government observers. may go to- between zero and 10 above during the day.
 In the central and northern parts of the state, the readings were about the same as yesterday, vary ing from 22 to 34 degrees below. The only ones to take the sub-zero weather phliosophically were the ice men who reported between $ and 12 inchs covering ponds up- state. Harvesting was to begin to- day on many of the larger ponds.
 Scores of persons were treated for frost-bite as result of yester- days biting cold. At New Haven two men were treated at hospi- taIs for exposure. One of them. William Hart, 20, of Fedora. S.. D.. was found in semi-conscious condition in a doorway. He suf- fered from hunger and cold.
 Seven tugs. bound for Hartford, were held at the mouth of the Con- necticut river at Saybrook, unable to get through the ice.

 Brought to City
Affording further opportunity for

Anording further opportunity for employment of local people, the Chase Companies, Inc, has moved considerable machinery and gen. eral equipment to Waterbury from the subsidiary plant at Bloomfield, N. J., it was learned today. The machinery and equipment has been set up at the plant of the Water bury Manufacturing company on North Main street, a branch of the Chase companies and will be put into action on next Tuesday.
 This means that the plant at Bloomfield, N. J. will be cut down in operations and that Chase's will open further opportunity for em- ployment in this city.
 The firm in New Jersey is known Jersey. The machinery has been here for the past few weeks. The equipment brought here will pro- vide for the manufacture, mostly, of cosmetic articles and other pieces along this line.
 Aside from bringing on to Wa terbury a few experts well ac- quainted with the running of the machinery, the Chase Companies. Inc, will, it is understood, confine all employment on the work to To- cal help. In other words, the re- moval of part of the equipment here from the Consolidated Pin company will aid in increasing the local employment field.
 The Chase Companies, Inc, man. ufectured varied line of articles prior to the Christmas season and, as result, demands for the goods have increased, hence the decision of the factory officials to consoli date in Waterbury. A very small per cent of the working personnel of the New Jersey factory will come to Waterbury to aid in setting up the local system.

TAMMANY WILL
 EVACUATE NEW
 YORK CITY HALL
Shattered Ranks to Retire Gracefully, But They
 Have Smiles Left
By SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE Limited Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Dec 3O-(UP)- Tammany's old guard evacuated city hall today. But in retreat, they maintained discipline in badly shattered ranks and counted a score of political victories in the last seven weeks of occupation.
 When, in November, voters shelled them out of the civic fort ress they had held for 20 years, they made an orderly retirement to dugouts just out of reach of the victorious Major Fiorello LaGuar- dia.
 These dugouts were of two va- rieties. The first, and most popu- lar, was system of life apoint- ments to political offices untouch- able, under the charter, by the in- coming mayor. The second was the liberal system of pensions af- forded city servants upon retire. ment.
 Tammany had to work fast. It did, beginning on November Il with the appointment of former Magistrate Francis x. McQuade to the corporation counsels office at $7,00O a year, when he may re- tire on a generous pension. Me- Quade is not the same McQuade who told Judge Samuel Seabury he needed $300,000 in his strong box ito take care of the 34 little McQuades." He is the McQuade who resigned his magistracy just as judge Seabury was about to question certain details of his po- litical and business life.
 On Nov IA, the lame duck board of estimate voted a two-year ten- ure of office to 568 employees whose salaries total $1,500,000 annually.
 Three days later it hauled from a pigeonhole a bill to reinstate po- licemen who resigned "in the past 10 years" including many who fell by the wayside during the Seabury 
 On December 4. the board ot aldermen adopted a budget which passed to the shoulders of the in- coming administration a deficit of $21,00,00.

The weather bureau said that if the sun shone the temperature should climb above zero before noon.
 Exposure, heart attacks induced by over-exertion, highway and coasting accidents, and drownings contributed to the mounting death toll.
 In addition, hospitals in Massa- chusetts and the northern New England states treated hundreds of cases of frost-bite. Three Bos- ton hospitals, alone, reported to- day they had handled 40 such cases within the past "A hours.
 The lowest temperature in New England yesterday was AS below at Island Point, Vt. It was 46 below at both Fairfax. Vt, and at the official weathe. station atop mile high Mt Washington in New Hampshire; 45 below at Fort Kent, Me, and 40 below at Laconia, N. H., and Pittsfield, Me.

 One of the interesting features of the check issued is that while the whole amount was for $24O,990 only $S5,O00 will go towards re- ducing the. bonded indebtedness. The balance $155.99O represents in- terest payments on the city's bond ed debt. /
 waterbury has about reached its peak on bond carriage expenses. The debt represents amounts in- cured from prior administrations as well as for the administration of Mayor Frank Hayes. Under the Hayes regime the bonded debt of the city has been reduced several million dollars and today's check of $85,000 clips that much more off the account.
