CONVICT WANTS
 TO SERVE TERM
ParOled Man Said It Is Too Tough to Try and Be
 Straight

Bridgeport. Conn, Sept 15-(C. P.)-Herbert Corwin, 50, New York, a paroled convict from Sing Sing, waits to be returned to pri- son because he finds it 'too tough to go straight"
 Penniless and exhausted, Cor win, who had served six years of a ten year term for burglary at Riverhead, L. l., walked into police headquarters last night and asked that he be returned to New York for violation of parole.
 "I'd rather serve the rest of my time back in Sing Sing than resort to stealing he said.
 Sergeant William Foster was re- luctant to comply with the odd re- quest but finally said he would notify New York authorities.
 ''I hate to bok you Corwin," he explained. because you've got what a lot of other former crim- inals lack. I admire any ex-convict who tried to go straight. You're a victim of circumstances but the breaks will eventually bt yours"
 A parole officer was expected here late to-day to. return Corwin to prison.

POLAND DSTIRS UP
 EUROPE AGAIN
Defiance of the League May Mean Break With
 Her Ally France

Paris, Sept 15.-UP)-Poland's S defiance of the league of nations on the question of protecting minorities within her borders was regarded today as likely to have a profound effect on the diplomatic lineup of Europe. While French official circles professed to view the matter purely an issue between Poland and the league, diplomats foresaw a further breach between French and her former staunch ally.
 Some sources believed Poland, under the Franco Polish pact. should have advised France in ad. vance of intentions. It was be- lieved France might reconsider her entire relations with Poland. Reli- able advices indicated that Po- lands action, coming shortly after her conclusion of a treaty with Germany. containing alleged secret clauses. had created nervousness among Baltic states, notably Lith- uania. .
 The latter feared strained rela- tions with Poland, especially if, as reported, Germany has induced Poland to agree to renounce the Polish corridor through Danzig in favor of another outlet to the sea. Such other outlet presumably would be through Lithuanian ter ritory and permit the rejoining of East Prussia with Germany proper.
 The Lithuanians have not for gotten that Poland seized Wilma, their nominal capital, and that they have never been able to get satisfaction from the league of na- tionS over the seizure.

MATERNITY CASE RECORD IS MADE
 BY ST MARY'S
Hospital Had But One Death Due to Infection
 of 5000 Cases

St Mary's hospital had but one death, due to infection, out of nearly 5000 maternity cases, ac- cording to survey completed by members of the staff and reported at a meeting of the hospital staff this week. That is considered a remarkable showing in view of the widespread belief that maternity mortality represents a large figure from year to year.
 Staff physicians and surgeons were surprised themselves and gratif1ed upon hearing the result of the survey. Queried for the req son for such an unusually low fig ure, one of the leading obstetri- clans of the city said there was no explanation other than that it could be laid to the technique Of attending doctors and care admin istered to patients.
 The survey included all cases in which deliveries were made at the hospital. The report showed the morbidity percentage to be .38, or less than four tenrhs of 1 per cent. Morbidity cases are those where the confined patient shows a tenn perature of 1905.
 An indication of how the survey compares with other institutions might be gleaned from a recent report of the Dublin Rotunda in Ireland, considered the worlds foremost maternity hospital. That institution reports 16 deaths out Of 14,O00 cases, a mortality rate five times greater than that of St Mary's hospital.
 Other institutions show as high as 30 per cent in morbidity re- cordings. The Long Island College hospital in late report had a mortality rate of less than ter cent for over five years. Tn Chi cago, nine deaths were reported in 25,0D0 confinement cases, in one hospital while in New Orleans institution, there were seven deaths reported out of $500 cases.
 Dr DeLee of Chicago, who is considered the most outstanding obstetrician in America, in an article prepared for medical pub lication states that at least six in factions can be expected out of every 400 confinement cases, with at least one death resulting.

THOSE GUILTY
 TO BE PUNISHED
Department of Justice Is Following the Evidence
 in the Case

Washington, Sept 15- (UP)- Severe penalties and heavy dam ages may be invoked against off, ficers, crew and owners of the Morro Castle if the disaster re- suited from negligence, the de- partment of justice said today. The justice department is participating in the investigation of the catas- trophe but the nature of it's in- quiries would not be revealed by J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the bureau of investigation.
 Officers and crew of the Morro Castle are liable to a fine of $10,- % and 10 years in prison if neg ligence is proven. The same pen alties would accrue to the Ward line directors if they possessed knowledge of any defects in the ship which caused the disaster.
 Negligence must be proved be- fore the Ward management be- comes liable to civil damages. This might be in fighting the fire, maintaining equipment, issuing abandon ship orders or any other factor that could be proven re- sponsible for the disaster or loss of life.
 Should negligence be shown the Ward line may file a claim to limit liability. officials said. Thus claim would limit damages to the value of the ship. $5,O00,O00 plus receipts of the trip from freight and passenger charges.
 The limitation, ordinarily would be granted unless negligence on the part of the Ward line itself were shown. The justice depart ment explained that the hearings being held in New York by the steamboat inspection service are not a basis for criminal prosecu- tion. The only action which may result is revocation of officers li- censes. However testimony before the hearing might be used by U. s. District Attorney Martin Con- boy who is investigating with a view to possible criminal indict- ments. Hoover said that several men were working on the case un- der his personal direction.

 Francis J. German, strike leader, engaged in enlisting sup movement, was unperturbed.
 Whoever expected anything else from General Johnson?" asked German under whose militant leadership moves to bring new pressure for strike settlement are going forward.

REPUBLICANS TO
 PICK DRUGGIST
 AS THE NOMINEE
E. L. Clyde May Be One of Representatives on
 Their Ticket

Ernest L. Clyde, prominent local druggist and former member of the state pharmacy commission, was reported today as likely to be one of the two persons nominated for the house of representatives when the local g. O. p. adjourned town convention takes place Thurs day night. The other post is like ly to go to Attorney J. William Carroll or Mrs Florence Sherwood, it was also reported.
