 Acts in Last Election

Hartford, Conn, July 20.-(UP) State Attorney Hugh M.

They are Alexander Lauretti, ward chairman. Michael Miano, democratic moderator, John Monacchio, ward worker and former pugilist, known as Johnny Mack.
 They were arrested on bench warrants issued by Judge Allyn L. Brown, who is presiding over the secret inquiry. which began Tues day. Bonds were fixed at $2.50O.

Took Prisoner and Gun From Sentry--BOth Got
 Away Safely

New York, July 20-UP).-A daring gunman rowed over to the Governors Island Military Reser- vation in busy New York harbor to- day, held up eight soldiers and es- caped with Melvin Blanton of Cam den, Ohio, a long term prisoner. known in army circles as "bad actor"
 The sheer nerve of the ex- ploit was astonishing. T h e island is the headquarters of the Second Corps Area of the U. s. Army and the entire 18th Infan- try is stationed there. Nearby were many boats in the harbor.
 But with cold disregard of these hazards, the gunman, short slight fellow beached his boat and strolled over to sentry guarding Blanton and two other prisoners. Sentry Drops Gun
 Drop your gun or you'll get hurt" he said in conversational tones.
 The sentry, Private Stephen F. Grezegorak. found himself looking into the muzzle of a high calibre revolver. He threw his own auto. matic rifle to the ground. Blantou | snatched up the weapon. An army truck with three mer in it rolled up.

Church Bells Tolled Over
 Diocese When Prelate's Death Is Announced

Fall River. Mass. July 20.--(UP) Church bells tolled throughout this diocese last night in reverenf memory of the most Rev Daniel Francis Feehan, 7S, for 27 years Roman Catholic bishop of Fall River. who died at his summer home at Pocasset after a long ill- ness.
 Death, which came at S:25 D. m., resulted from bronchial pneumonia and a heart ailment after four years of failing health. At the bed- side were the Most Rev James E. Cassidy, Bishop Feehan's success sor. and Dr George w. Dainty of Monument Beach.
 Because of the bishops age, doc tors had despaired os ais life, and death was not unexpected. The last rites of the church had been administered several days ago.
 Bishop Feehan was born in Athol September 24, 1855, son of William and Johanna (Foley) Fee- han.
 After attending public schools at Millbury, he took up his theolog- ical studies at St Mary's Seminary, Montreal, graduating in 1876. He continued these studies at St Jo- seph Seminary, Troy, N. r., and was ordained to the priesthood December 20, 1879.

 Acting on the recommendation of State Conservation Commission CT Samuel A. York, Governor Ely

Governors Failed to Sign Bills on Time = Gets
 Only Half of Award

Because governors of the state of Connecticut failed to sign bills enacted by the legislature within three days after their passing, a woman in Italy today receives only S2,s00 in compensation award Tor the loss of her husband, killed while working in Waterbury. Com missioner James M. Lynch gave Mrs Maria c. Durante Fracassi that sum, but were it not for the gov ernors, the woman would have received $5,000.
 On August 6. 1926, Luigi Fra. cassi, while working for the Lari- viere & Hyland Construction Go suffered a crushed chest and died the same day. A claim for com pensation was presented and about $5,000 was due to be given the widow who lives in the Town of Limosano. Province of Campobasso. Italy.

WRONG REPORTS
 ABOUT GERMANY

Berlin, July 2O.-UP)-A check on arrests since the Nazi "purging" of June 30 revealed interesting fig- ures today.
 Arrests, in Berlin totaled ap- proximately 400, all but so or 90 of whom were internationally re- leased. So far, the highest esti- mate of arrests at Munich was 300 to 500. although wild reports have begun to be circulated again in the last few days mentioning high CT figures.
 K Reports that the detention camp at Dechau was overf1owing with storm troopers awaiting court mar tial were not substantiated. Reli- able private sources in Munich and Berlin indicate that there are not now and never were 2.000 storm troops at Dachau. Moreover, those who are there are not facing court martial. as it has been explicitly decreed that any prosecutions aris- ing from the June 30 affair shall be conducted through the regular civil channels of justice.

 BACK AT UPSON
Local Attorney Saw Fit to Criticise and Answer
 Came Promptly

People ought to get in and take part in actual work instead of standing on the sidelines and toss- ing bombs," Chairman T. E. Con- way of the republican town com- mittee stated today in answer to criticisms of the town committee leadership expressed yesterday by Attorney j. Warren Upson.
 Chairman Conway said he has the highest regard for MT Upson as a gentleman and would be glad to have men of his type in politics. A checkup at the registrar of voters office today revealed that Attorney Upson's name is not list ed on the republican primary sheet.
 What Upson Wrote
 In a prepared statement yester- day he said
 My views of the condition of the republican party in Waterbury are simply those of a citizen and Ia republican having no particular attachment to any of the persons now in politics. sz | am only if1ter- ested in as widely successful re- suits as can be obtained in local elections. and I am interested in Ned Goss' reelection this fall.

BY BEN TITUS
 United Press Staff Correspondent

'
 Portland. Ore, July 20.-UP). Ship owners prepared to open the strike-locked port of Portland today while the National Guard mobilized and strikers massed pickets along the waterfront.
 Labor seemed in an angry mood. The troops were ordered modified by Governor Julius l.. Meier soon after Oregon labor leaders prom ised Senator Robert Wagner, fed eral mediator, that they would abandon plans for a general strike provided the National Guard was not called but.
 Labor Is Bitter
 There was no apparent connec- ton beyond the fact that announce ments came close together, be- tween the National Guard mobil- ization and the ship owners de- ternAination to open the port which has been closed since longshore- men went on strike May g..
 Working men refiecting labor's well-known antipathy for militia swelled tn epicket lines at strategic points in Portland and were coun- tered by an increase of police re- serves.
 It was generally believed that the militia concentration at CamI Clackamas voided labor's promise not to call general strike. (Hnnfinnnd p1On Al
