MASS SUICIDE
Nearly 1000 Hungarian Work
ers Ready To Meet Death lf
Wages Not Raised

FUNFKIRCHEN, Hungary. Oct.
IS. UP)-TWelve hundred hunger
striking miners, bent on mass sui
eide, held themselves in the depths
of the Pecz mine today while their
women pleaded with troops at the
pithead to be allowed to descend
and die with them.
Soldiers with bayonets and ma
chine guns held back the wives,
mothers, sisters and sweethearts OF
the miners, who struggled futilely,
shouting:
Let us go down into the pit 20
die with out men"
The miners demanding higher
wages threatened to cut off the
venitlating fans and asphyXiate
themselves to stop the pumps and
drown. Fifty of them were report
ed seriously i'll in the depths. For
ty-five had been brought up i'll
from gas fumes.
Raise our pay or send us 1900
red coffins," the miners demand
ed.
the surface went on sympathy
strike but were restrained from 60
ing into the pit to join their COM
rades.
Five emissaries of the social De-
mocrat party descended to try to
persuade strikers to compromise.
They were held prisoners for sew
eral hours. Representative of 20,-
900 to 10000 miners of the Salgo-
TARTAN district voted for a sympa-
thy strike in two days if the Funf-
kiirchen dispute is not settled.

BY mid-afternoon the situation
looked desperate. The miners, who
had been communicating with the
surface by telephone and signal,
announced they would answer no
further messages until informed
their wages have been increased.
The message said:
I'VE will not leave the shafts or
answer further messages until in
formed we have been given an
eight per cent increase in wages.
We have decided to die If it is not
done. 1t means suicide but we
would rather die here of gas and
lack of food than to face a slow
death above, because our wages
are not enough to buy bread"
Fiften miners who entered the
shaft to eXtinguish q supposed fire
were reported to have been held
or to have Joined the

Frank CucciO Not Entitled to Payment on His
 Account

Frank Cucolo is not entitled to dividend payments on his account of several hundred dollars in the Merchants Trust Co, 1t was decided by Judge John A. Cornell in a de- cision announced late yesterday. The dividends were used by the re- ceiver for the bank to offset debt owed by Girardo Cucolo, father of the petitioner.
 Last week the applicant presented his case before the court. He said he Is the owner of construction company having received the bus mess from his father. He said the account in the bank is in his name. personally. It was shown that his father borrowed from another bank and signed his name as pres ident of the company. The receiver had held up the dividend payments in the Merchants Trust Co, but under the ruling of Judge Cornell can take the dividends and apply them against a debt, the father owes the closed bank.

Sanitary Equipment Installed In Local
 Comfort Terminals
Avenue Stations-Dr Edward J. Godfrey Claims Absolute Safety Assured-Meets Public Favor

Further steps to help prevent the spread of disease in Waterbury have been taken by the health de- partment with the installation of additional sanitary equipment at the comfort station on Harrison avenue. The equipment consists of a perfectly safe, sanitary and thor oughly sterilized toilet seat, a most recent invention which is widely acclaimed by medical science in the field of sanitation. The thou sands who use the comfort station wiA 1t Is felt, be amazed by the simplicity of the device.
 Health Officer Dr E. J. Godfrey says: Tt meets a world wide want and meets it well. That the public has become sanitation conscious is indicated by the extensive use in public places of drinking cups, in- dividual towels, pay lock toilets, and so forth, and 1t was to provide each user with a clean, sterilized toilet seat that the steam genera tor was developed.
 "The successful operation of these sterilized seats under rigid inspection of competent observers points to nationwide adoption of this method of prevention of in- factions by thorough sterilization. Absolute safety Is assured those who fear or apprehend contamin- ation when obliged to take risks at any one of the thousand places provided under the name of com fort stations. The medical profess sion will, without a doubt, give unanimous endorsement and the public it's hearty approval of this great boom to humanity"
 A safe, sanitary comfort station has always been needed, but never until now provided, the public alert on health measures and means, are among the first in the country to provide the new steril- ized seats for public use.
 The new toilets operate very simple. The seat is enclosed in q metal cabinet mounted on the rear of the toilet bowl where the former seat was attached. This cabinet houses the operating mechanism and the sterilizing chamber.
 The cycle of operation is entire 1y automatic and is started by a push button control. When the cycle Is started the cabinet opens, tho seat lowers to position and the cabinet closes. After use the seat. when released, folds into the cab inet and IS sprayed with superheat- ed steam for about 70 seconds. Following such sterilization the seat Is dried by a current of air ana cooled by a jet of water inside tho seat, thus completing the cycle, and the Seat then remains in the locked cabinet thoroughly steril- ized, ready for use again.
 Power for moving the sterilizer cabinet doors and the seat is fur nished by small motor operating a master gear. All other operations are controlled electrically.
 Steam for sterilizing the seat is supplied by an electric steam gen. orator also enclosed in the cabinet. This generator produces steam practically instantaneously at any temperature desired and was de- veloped under the Electric Steam Sterilizing Company's own patents especially for use in connection with the sterilized toilet seatwby the General Electric Company, at it Cleveland, O., works.

JAPAN MAKING !. FRIENDSHIP PLANS
Provisional Farley May Precede 1885 World Naval Conference

Tokio. Jan. 13--(UP)-Foreign Minister Koki Hirota hopes to es- tablish q closer friendship between the United States and Japan pre- viOus to the convocation of the 1885 naval conference.
 With this end in view, he may take the initiative for a provision al barley between the two coun- tries as soon as the proper oppor- tunity presents itself.
 Ever since he assumed hls pres- ont post, Hirota has been studying the problem of how Japan best may approach the forthcoming naval conference and thereby tide over the already much commented "crisis" of 1035-36.
 Included among the preparatory measures the foreign minister ia reported to have decided to take are the following:
 1. A tangibla guiding principle to rule Japan's diplomatic dealings with tho United states will be formed by consultation with learned men. in the government service as well as civilians In con slderatlon Of tho fact that dipIo- matte relations between Japan and the q. $. arc Just as important for thIa country as thOBo with China and Soviet Russia,

sue and Williams Steel Forging Corporation, at Alliance. O., under patents.
 Considering the number of pub lie toilets now available in hotels, department stores, railroad sta- tions, automobile filling stations, etc, without a single one of them offering any protection. it Is easy to visualize the enormous field for a safe, sanitary sterilized seat. such as is now provided at the Water- bury Comfort station, say those who have made inspection.
 The thoroughness and complete ness of the sterilization done with these seats is flttingly demonstrat- ed by tests conducted by the Mount Union College on November l., 1893.
 pr Joseph M. Scott in reporting the tests says: "The seat of experi- mental unit was thoroughly inocu- lated with mixed culture of streptococcus, haemaIyticus and bacillus pyocyameus. Broth culture, 48 hours. The organisms in ques- tion were recently isolated from a fatal case of peritonitis.
 Two sets of cultures were made in bouillion, on blood serum and in anaerobic cultures as in previous tests. The first set of cultures was made after one operation and the other after g. second operation of the apparatus within a few min- utes.
 After seven days there is no growth in or on any of the media.
 "The present process in this ex- perimental unit appears to com pletely stcrilize the toilet seat even when contaminated with patho- genie bacteria"
 Attendants at the Harrison ave- nue Comfort Station will be glad, they say, to demonstrate to the public the workings of the most modern sterilized toilet seats.

ers, murder mystery, and Duke FL
lington and his orchestra, all wrapped
up in q single package labeled Earl
CAROLS Murder at the Vanities,"
opens tomorrow at the Paramount
theater.
Each individual component was ex-
cellent, and the whole proved grand
entertainment. Paramount has COM
bined the two most popular film
themes Of the day-music and mys-
tery-and. under the excellent guild.
ance Of Director Mitchell Lessen, the
picture Is more than satisfactory.
It is filmization Of the Earl Car
roll show which was produced on
Broadway this year. For it, Carroll
brought some Of his own beautiful
showgirls to Hollywood, and dozens Of
additional beauties Of the film CAPT.
tai were added to the cast. They are
just as lovely as claimed In CAROLS
trademark-"the most beautiful girls
in the world"
Such popular actors as Victor Nc
Laglen, Jack Oakie. Gertrude Michael,
Charles B. Middleton. Gail Patrick
and others contribute their share Of
the mystery and entertainment, Oakie
as the "Vanities" press-agent: Nc
Laglen as q police lieutenant and
Miss Michael as one Of the principals
being outstanding.
The newcomers are Carl Brison,
Kitty Carlisle and Dorothy Stickney,
formerly Of Dickinson. N. OAK, whose
relatives still reside in the North Da-
kota city. Brisson, brought from Eng
land, makes his American debut In
the picture with excellent results. He
sings beautifully, and doubtless will
be seen again soon. Miss Carlisle
makes her screen bow in the picture,
and like Brisson, sings beautifully and
acts capably.
