Gold D0uries of Gypsy Maidens Seized From
 Leaders Automobile

San Antonio (UP)-Matrimonial hopes of American gypsy girls now rest in the hands of a United States district court here.
 When officers arrested George Costa, leader of a gypsy band, and discovered 60 gold coins beneath the floor boards of his car, they unwittingiy may have condemned many of the race to enforced spin sterhood, members of the band say.
 District Attorney W. R. Smith. Jr, filed suit in the United States district court for a penalty double | the value of the 60 coins. Face value of the collection was esti- mated at $480, but the intrinsic value will be decided by the court. However, more serious than the money involved, says Costa, Is the eect loss of gold would have upon the unmarried gypsy girls. The
 coins were the property of the single girls of the group, he as-
 serted, and had been saved by
 members of the families to pro- vide dowries for the maidens. Gold rowries are used by gypsies
 throughout the world, it was ex- plained, and for American gypsies | to be forbidden the use of the metal under the gold hoarding laws
 would be to place the girls at a vast matrimonial disadvantage.
 The gypsies have retained law yers and plan to fight the case to
 a finish. Of the 60 coins found, 33
 were in strings which could be
 used as necklaces Under the law, gold used as ornament or jewelry | is exempt

DANA IS SCORED LABOR LEADER
(continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.1 The statement of one J. Nicholas Dang, whose attack on Governor Cross appeared in the public press, in which he calls on all of the working men and women to vote against Governor Cross, might go unheeded, if it were not for the fact that he signed his statement as president of the Connecticut
 Federation of Labor and general organizer of the American Fedora
 ton of Labor.
 While it is admitted that he was president of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor, on Sunday, No- vember 4th, he was called before the executive council of the federa- tion for exceeding his authority and improper and unwarranted use Of
 his office. He was suspended and
 ordered to appear at future meet
 ing to show cause why he should
 not be removed from office.
 Dang Usurped Rights
 Dang had no right as president to
 make the statement he did, as the truce faces are as follows: The official statement issued by the Connecticut Federatio nof La- bor shows Governor Cross favor-
 able to labor;
 That Joseph Tone was appoint ed as labor commissioned by Gov ernor Cross at the request of the Connecticut Federation of labor; That during his term as gover. ', ,Jx ar,C nwfarAnA ta a legislative agent of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, every consid- eration;
 He is the only governor who has attended the conventions of the Connecticut Federation of Labor. Only Personal Attack Dang statement is merly a per- sonal statement, issued for reasons best known to himself, but certain ly without the authorization of the
 executive council of the Connecticut Federation of Labor. It Is not a
 statement of the views of organ.
 ized labor, in fact, it is directly contrary to the views of the great
 majority of the members of organ
 ized labor. and the labor movement in this city repudiates the state-
 ment of MT. Dang.
 Organized labor in Waterbury knows it's friends, and unauthorized statements, which express only the personal desires of MT Dang should
 not and will ont affect any member
 of organized labor in this city, We endorse the action of the executive council and condemn the action of
 J. Nicholas Dang in his attempt to
 use his office for his own personal
 purposes.

RIVER WORK MAY
 AID UNEMPLOYED
Nebraska Officials Want Allotments of $l5,OOO,=
 900 Doubled

Lincoln, Neb (UP)-Ne braska proponents of Missouri river de- velopment have seized upon the need of unemployment relief in "river counties" as a basis for a new plea for an additional allot- ment of federal funds for deep- ening the channel between Kansas City and Sioux City, Ia.
 Dredges already are chugging on the river and almost 5000 men are at work under the last alloca tion of $15, 100000 for this work. River men, however, under the leadership of c. b. Childe, secre- tary of the waterways committee of the Omaha Chamber of Com merce, are bringing pressure to bear in Washington for extension of this allooation to s3O,00O,000.
 Childe and his active river group point to the fact, disclosed by Francis Cornell, federal reemploy- ment director for Nebraska, that 14,586 men now are on unemploy- ment files in the 10 Nebraska counties bordering on the river.
 This figure, they contend, Is pro- portionately large when considered in the light that Nebraska is es- sentially agrarian and without in- dustrial unemployment problems.
 Only a portion of these 14,000 unemployed will be absorbed by river work, even when 1t reaches its great point of expansion, ac- cOrding to Cornell.

 Filled With Potatoes
 The express freight of 15O re- frigerator cars, filled with Aroos- took county potatoes, was running a few minutes late and was speed- ing at mile minute to make up time. A light locomotive which had just left the roundhouse a few minutes before schedule to pick up a commuters train to Boston, reached a crossover on the main line simultaneously with the freight and they collided.
 All those killed were believed to have been in the cab of the lead locomotive on the double-header freight.
 So terrific was the impact that all three locomotives were de- rallied and demolished. Seven freight cars also were piled up and wrecked. Railroad ties for hum dreds of yards were ripped up: Telegraph poles on both sides or the track were felled.
 Bremen soon at the scene were spurred by the cries of those trapped and dying as they battled to extricate the victims.
 Dying Man Spoke to Rescuer
 The body of one man, believed to be Brakeman Colby, protruded above one of the wrecked cabs. The fireman of the second locomotive of the freight rushed to Colby's assistance but the brakeman, who remained conscious, realized he was doomed.
 "I'm pinned in here. There's no chance for me-" he cried to his would-be rescuer.
 Three minutes later the steam line burst and the trapped man was scalded to death while a crowd watched helplessly.
 Bremen used acetylene torches to cut through the debris. Clouds of live steam belched from the wreckage, causing them minor burns.
 Two bodies, tentatively identi- fled as those of Winslow and Ma son, were extricated after a two- hour battle. These victims were taken to Clinton hospital but were pronounced dead on arrival. At mid-morning, firemen and railroad employees were still striving to reach a third body, believed that Of Colby
 Though rescuers succeeded in extricating Moore, both his legs were broken and he was severely sealded and he succumbed at hospital a few hours after the accident.
 Traffic on the Portland-Worces- ter division was completely tied up by the wreck.

FERTILIZER RUN
 TOSTART NOV 1

Muscle Shoals, Ala (UP)-Actual commercial production of phos- phate fertilizer is expected to be- gin November 1 at the largo fer tilizer plant of the Tennessee Val ley Authority.
 Work on the plant has been ir progress for six months. Approxi- mately s1,250,000 has been spent on the, existing mahcinery of Mi trate Plant No at Muscle Shoals to convert it to the present desjg- mated task of making phosphoric acid, which in turn is impregnated in prepared phosphate rock to make the phosphate fertilizer. About 375,000 tons of phosphate fertilizer is expected to be pro- duced yearly.
 This tonnage is to be a AS per cent impregnation rather than a Is per cent, or less, of the ordinary commercial impregnation. Thus, in actual feltizer value, it probably will approach 100000 tons of present commercial types.
 This phase of the work of the IVA has not been dramatized like it's power program. Except for a few experimental patches of nitrate

and Dillane were busy this after noon compiling their lists of dep- uty registrars and moderators. Both major parties had their lists of checkers finished and had set up their private headquarters adja- cent to the voting places.
 That Mayor Hayes, the candi- date for lieutenant governor, would receive an exceptionally great vote in Waterbury was the opinion of all party leaders here. Mayor Hayes popularity and his known ability as an efficient executive is responsible for this belief.
 Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean has already appointed his many men to special duty on the various polling places. It is be- lieved that with the great interest in tomorrow's election there will be the greatest fleet of automobiles at work bringing in new voters that the city has seen in many years.
 100 Absentee Voters
 Tomorrow will not complete the work of the registrars. Absentee ballots, nearing the 100 mark, will have to be opened tomorrow in the office of Town Clerk Dora A. Egan.
 In addition, those who become 21 years of age by tomorrow will be eligible to vote and will be sworn in at special session in the office of Town Clerk Egan.
 Both parties have taken excep- tional steps to prevent the abuse of election privileges. Therefore, it is expected that tomorrow's voting will be most orderly and that when the polls close at 6 o'clock in the evening not a complaint of repeat ing or other trouble will be re- ported.

 Up to 8 fortnight ago, even re- over Bacon's chances. But sud- denly his tagging campaign bolted under a full head of steam. He began bitter attacks on Curley's 12- year record as mayor and hurled sensational challenges at his op- ponent. It is generally conceded that Bacon has picked up much ground on the final lap.
 The normal difficulty of fore casting the outcome is increased by the candidacy of Goodwin, two- listed campaigner and severe critic. Democratic leaders believe that Goodwin will sap more strength from Bacon than from Curley.

 Walsh Betting Fayorite
 In the U. s. senatorial contest, the veteran democratic senator, David I. Walsh, is betting favor fte over Robert M. Washburn, run ming for office for the first time since 1915.
 Some observers feel, however that Washburn may show surpris- ing strength in certain sections pointing out that in the September primary, without a contest to sur fhe interest of the electorate, ne boiled about 295,000 votes.
 Indications are that the pres ent setup of Massa chusetts' con- gressional delegation-lO repupn- cans and five democrats--will re- main unchanged. though Congress- man Robert Luce of Waltham, re- publican seeking reflection, faces a stiff battle against Mayor Rlcharo M. Russell of Cambridge.

 Gorman's proposal, coming i'm mediately after peaceful settlement of the serious Cleveland grocery dispute, served to emphasize ad- ministration hopes that President Roosevelts truce between capital and labor could be maintained.
