Mcclure Claims Politicians Seek
 To Punish Him
Ex-President of Local Central Labor Union, Now Head of Hartford Property Owners League Charged With Conceaing "Alleged FelOny' in Securing Citizenship Papers

which occurred in Cheshire on February 28, 1913, MT McGuire was tried in the superior court on the charge of manslaughter. He was found guilty, fined $500 and given a suspended jail sentence of one year. In explaining the cir cumstances of the trial MT Mo- Guire claims that he refused to plead guilty with the expectation of receiving a suspended sentence and that he spent $3,000 fighting the case.
 '"The company for which work ed was anxious to avoid respon- sibility. The fact that I had or ganized and was president of the Central Labor Union of Waterbury did not exactly help me in the case" was the comment of the former Waterburian in reviewing his case last evening for publica- tion.
 MT Mcclure came to the United States in December 1897 and re- turned to Canada in 1899. He came back to this country in 1902 and has since resided here. He doesn't remember the date when he obtained his first papers, but records show that he obtained his second papers, the naturalization certificate on September IS, 1913. What his accusers are apparently trying to do is to show, MT McGuire concealed. his conviction, which he denies very emphatically. The reg istrars of voters in Hartford claim ed that in view of the records they have no alternative, but to remove his name from the voting list for under the statute, any person con- victed of felony forfeits the privileges of an elector.
 Many Waterburians familiar with the Cheshire accident, the subse- quent trial of MT McGuire, his prominence as a labor leader and his recent activities in Hartford, are following the present contro- versy with keen attention. There is every indication of 8 bitter flght.

HEAD FIGHTS FOR VOTE
DRIVEN FROM
 FROST ROAD HOME
An Oil COntainer Exploded Scattering Fire All Over
 the Kitchen
ALMOST TOTAL LOSS

A section of the home of MT and Mrs Ralph E. Swift at 75 Frost road was badly damaged by fire yesterday afternoon. Several com panies of fire apparatus responded to the alarm at 4:46 o'clock. Fire men were obliged to work fast to save the dwelling. Flames fed by oil spread so rapidly that neighbors eager to be of service in salvaging furnishings were driven out of the house. Several hundred dollars damages resulted.
 Some children playing about kitchen range burner had ignited some papers and becoming fright ened or confused dropped them into @ waste basket A fire start ing contacted with the oil reservoir. Mrs Swift hearing the screams of the youngsters while on the rear veranda of the house hurried into the kitchen, which was congested with smoke. She ordered the youngsters out of the house and running into an adjoining room picked up her 18-months old baby and hurried out. A few min- utes later the oil container explod- ed, wrecking the windows of the kitchen and spattering fuel about the room. This incident gave the fire considerable headway before firemen arrived.

James l.. Mcclure, former presi- dent of the Central Labor Union of Waterbury, is the central figure of controversy which is engaging the attention of city officials of Hartford and the interest of the general public. Efforts are being made to deprive MT Mcclure of his franchise as voter on the grounds that he was convicted in Waterbury of felony" and has forfeited his rights as a citizen. MT McGuire, native of Canada obtained his naturalization papers in this city. He is registered as a democrat in Hartford, is president of the City Property Owners Pro- tective league in that city and was a nominee of the Independent Re- publican party for congress in the November elections. He spoke re- gently in Waterbury. In answer to the attacks upon his privileges as a citizen MT Mcclure charges the agitation to the rotten politi- clans" and as reprisal for his ef- forts to eliminate waste and need less positions in the administration of the municipal affairs of Hart ford.
 Yesterday morning for the sec- ond time in two days MT Mcclure on instructions from the Immigra- tion bureau in Washington report ed to Thomas Elmes, immigration inspector at New Haven, and an- swered questions concerning his naturalization papers obtained in Waterbury on September 15, 1913, six months after a fatal trolley ac- cident in which William F. Harper of Waterbury was killed and for which MT Mcclure was obliged to stand trial. Last Tuesday MT Me- Guire was, asked to show cause why his name was not removed from the viting lists in Hartford.
 If the registrars attempt to take my name from the voting list I shall retain an attorney and fight them. I am not the man to lie down when attacked" MT Me- Guire has stated.

FRED MATURO
 HELD UNDER BOND
Confronted By Two WOm- en Who Claimed to
 Be His Wives

Arraigned on the charge of bigamy in the town court of Wethersfleld last evening, Fred Mature, 37, formerly of this city. was ordered held for superior court under bonds of $1,500.

The second cere- mony took place in Hartford

Revocation Of Auto
 Licenses Discussed
Third Offense, Namely, Reckless Driving, May Be
 Added to Present Two Existing Violations

in which a first conviction would hold in application to a second conviction, the committee indicated some disposition to include in the law as a third offense, reckless driving, for which this severe pen- atty would be provided.
 It may be that a substitute or amended bill will be reported to provide that 8 second conviction for any one, or convictions for any two of the three law violations, driving under the influence, evad- ing responsibility or reckless driv- ing, shall bring automatic, per- manent suspension of license. Under the law as it exists, Com | missioner Stoeckel is authorized to suspend licenses in his discretion. He is of the opinion. however, that to make suspensions obligatory up- on the event of specified occur rences, will act as great deter rent to these conditions which con- tribute so largely to the total of law violations in Connecticut.

The NOvena at
 St Francis Xavier
Large Crowds Present at the Morning and Even=
 ing Services


 The weather conditions have no appreciable effect on the attend ance at the novena at St Francis Xaver church. The upper and low CT churches were crowded last night and large numbers attended the early masses this morning. At the services last night people were urged to come to confession to- day so that all who intend to make the novena may be heard.
 The sermon on "Scandap' cov- cred a wide field, including any thing that causes others to commit sin. The preacher also touched on birth control, which he said was not man-made law, but came di- rect from God and that all the church authorities with the sanc- ton of the pope had no authority to alter or amend 1t.

Hartford, Mar 2-Expansion of the idea, launched formally by Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel with the in troduction of a bill in the legisla- ture requiring permanent revoca- tion of operators licenses upon second conviction for offenses to two classes, to include a third class, may result from considera- tion of the measure by the motor vehicle committee, a bulletin of the department today says.
 The original idea was that an operator, convicted twice while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or evading responsibility would automatically surrender his operators license and be forever denied the privilege of renewal. There would be appeal to the su- perior court or the general assem- bly, as a recourse to those so dis ciplined.
 After hearing on the bill recent 1y, when the committee heard Commissioner Stoeckel in favor of the law and none spoke in oppo- sition save one attorney who said his only objection might be met by the definition of a stated period

AUSTRIA READY
To USE ARMS
On NAZ|S

Copyright, 1888. by international
News Service)
VIENNA, Aug. 25.-Austria will
militantly combat all attempts
to abolish her independence,
Major Emil Fey, iron man of
Austria" and commander of the
nations armed forces, told In
ternational News Service in an
exclusive interview today.
Major Fey, who is considered
the right hand man of Chancel-
1or Engelbert DollfuSs, made it
clear the government will resist
all movements of Austrian or
German Nazis against the Doll
fuss regime.
Nazi Smuggling
German Nazis were reported
being smuggled across the bor-
der to stir up trouble against
the government, now in the throes
Of a life-and-death battle to pre-
serve its autonomy. Major Fey
said:
reports that we have mObil-
lied troops along the AuStrO-
German border are not true.
We have merely taken all pre-
cautions necessary to quell any
trouble that might arise"
Major Fey laughed when asked
If it were true that Austrian Le-
gions" had been formed in Bavaria
by Nazis. He replied:
zone hears such reports. We
don't know whether they are
true. We only know our bOr-
ders are protected by loyal Aus
trians who have sworn to give
their lives for their country If
necessary.
WILL DEPORT THEM
sowing to Nazi OutrageS in
Austria, we have had to supple
ment our regular army and
police forces with an auxiliary
force composed of picked men
from the ranks of the Eimwehr,
and strict orders have geen
given to these men to arrest any
Nazis found crossing the bOr-
ders illegally.
1--WE will depOrt them when
arrested, for we want no trouble
makers in Austria"
He characterized as "sheer Nazi
propaganda" other reports which
stated Austria is more than IS
per ment Nazi in sentiment.

LAWYER SAVES
TREED PALS

A hero of the storm is Will
liam G.. Beardslee, assistant at
torney general.
Beardslee, an expert swimmer,
was motoring with two compan-
ions, Paul Sample, secretary to
Senator Frederick Van Nuys of
Indiana, and o. T. Englehart OF
the Veterans Administration, in
upper Maryland. On their way
back to Washington, their car
stalled in the deep water on the
highway near Frederick. The
rushing waters completely en-
quilted the car and the three
sought refuge in the branches of
a tree. ,
The waters rose higher and
higher. Sample does not swim
and Englehart, only a fair swim
mer, knew he would never be
able to make the distance to the
nearest farm house, about a
quarter of a mile.
Beardslee did it, despite the
fact that the water in the middle
of the road was then rushing
torrent. He managed to reach
the house and secured a canoe
in which he returned to rescue
his comrades. A half hour after
they had reached safety the tree
was submerged under more than
18 feet of water.
Mr.. Sample said today that they
were about four hours cllnglng
to the tree but;
"It seemed like four years.
We were certainly glad to see
Beardslee coming back in that
canoe"

JUDGES FACING
PAY SLASH

ANNAPOLIS, March 16.-Sen-
ator j. Allan Coad won the Sec
ond skirmish in the senate yes
terday over the bill to reduce the
pay of judges in the State by
Is per cent. After defeating the
unfavorable report brought in by
the judicial proceedings commit
tee, he succeeded in getting the
bill substituted for the report.
The bill has been the cause Of
the most vigorous fight in the en-
tire legislative session. 1t is con-
demned in the senate, by lawyer
members on the grounds that it
is unconstitutional. Advocates OF
the bill maintain that the salaries
were raised by the legislature in
an illegal way and that it is but
right that the same body cut
them.
The bill will come up again
Friday when amendments cutting
the amount of the reduction to
Is per cent, will come before the
senate.
Senator Coad succeeded in get
ting a deadlocked vote Tuesday
on the bill and dragged it back
to the senate calendar yesterday
by the slim margin of 13 to 10
votes.

One Drunk's Enough
To Play Havoc
With Gun

Raymond Barbour, of the
Chillum district of Prince
Georges county, has been drunk
but once in his life-but he
made up for lost time then
it was revealed in police court
at Hyattsville yesterday.
According to testimony, Bar
bour was terrorizing his neigh
bors on the night of February
7. Policeman Ralph Brown,
called to the scene, had to take
a shotgun from the man before
arrest was possible.
Judge j. Chew Sheriff fined
the man So on charges of
being drunk and disorderly and
assault on Brown. The fine
was low because Barbour testi-
fled it was his first experiment
with liquor,
