 The hunt began at midnight. Possemen armed with searchlights and lanterns deployed over the mountainous terrain while a giant beacon atop the hotel rotated to further illuminate the countryside.
 Disappointment
 Shouts of joy went up from searchers at ? a.. m. when what appeared to be a signal fire loomed through the murk on the rugged side of Mount Deception.
 As quickly as possible 8 detail of possemen beat their way through the wet woods to the spot in ques- tion, but found no evidence of a fire. Careful search failed to re- veal the source of the mysterious light, and possemen concluded that whatever it was it was not a signal from those sought.
 On mile high Mount Washington just across the Ammonoosuc Val ley, many climbers have perished in recent years after becoming lost in it's trackless woods, but Mount Deception is not regarded as so dangerous and hope was held that the girls would be found alive

 Another state liquor association was turned down in it's appeal for an extension of time for old per- mits following hearing before the liquor commission at Hartford yes- terday.
 Restaurants the Same
 The Connecticut Restaurant Owners association through a special committee asked the com- mission for permission to permit members who have applied for new licenses, yet who have not receiv- ed them, to sell liquor on or after tomorrow. The association was giv- en the same answer as that given the Connecticut Tavern Owners association that the commission is without power to allow the sale of liquor after Sept. 1, unless a new permit has been issued.
 MT. Lauria stated today that ac- ton has been started for obtain ing an injunction which would re- strain local authorities from inter- fering with those dealers who have not received new licenses and who wish to sell liquor until the new licenses are received. Information on this matter will be explained tomorrow,

Death Also Takes Holidays; Aut0ists Drive Carefully!

there. is no reason to expect that the usual Labor Day weekend holocaust will be re- peated this year, at least as far as this part of the state is concerned.
 There is no question but that the formation of the Careful Drivers League and the strict observance of their pledges by members has helped Waterbury to lower its number of accidents, serious and otherwise, during the past two weeks. There is no rea- son why accidents should not be eliminated almost entirely; the league wants the member ship of every car operator in the Naugatuck Valley area. A membership pledge can be found in The Democrat.
 Waterbury's motor patrol- men and street policemen have been ordered to keep 8 sharp lookout for motor ye- hicle law and city ordinance violations during the week. end and holiday. Thorough fares used as entrances and exits to and from the city will be patrolled constantly.
 Lieut.. William Schatzman of the Beacon Falls state po- lice barracks has all available men assigned to highway pa- trol duty on roads throughout the Naugatuck Valley.
 Town police in Naugatuck, Thomaston, Torrington and other communities are like. wise planning to demand strict enforcement of motor vehicle regulations all during the weekend.

 "In ether times after maneuvers, you would have been free. But not so this year!
 During September an addi- ditional 100000 men will fill your ranks to bring the army up to the previously planned level-namely. 100000 men.
 T am sure that If tomorrow the fatherland calls upon you to solve more diff1cultp roblems (than those in the maneuvers) you will do so with courage, resolution and dar- ing to the last"
 Ostensibly the ships and air planes are going on maneuvers; Badoglio is going to France to at- tend maneuvers which Gen. Mau- rice Gamelin, chief of staff of the French army. will attend; Musso- lini speaks to the northern army which has just finished its gigantic maneuvers.
 Statesmen Are Fearful
 But as British warships were steaming eastward toward the Suez canal and the Irak-Mediterranean oil pipeline, on similar maneuvers and the garrisons of Gibraltar and Malta were being strength. ened, electric tension that made statesmen fearful of war was in- creased.

SENATOR POPE ANGRY

Paris, Aug. 31.-UP)-Signin of an oil concession in Ethiopia may bring soon a campaign in- forming the American public of the plight of American missionaries in the country, Senator James P. Pope, dem.. Idaho, warned in an interview today.
 T should not be surprised to find the same interests (reported to be American) that have obtained the concession begin such a campaign" :" Pope said angrily to the United Press.
 "It would dispel misgivings of millions of American citizens if the administration officially pronounced that 1t would not be committed to defend oil or other concessions in Ethiopia.
 ''It was precisely this type of de- velopment I had in mind when a few days ago I referred to the dan. ger of big international complica- tions which might arise in the Ital- ian-E Ethiopian crisis and might in- volve the United States in armed conflict.
 For 50 years American financial interests have been trying to secure American military support for their ventures abroad.
 ''To anticipate the usual zeal of American patrioteers who may now think the moment has arrived to carry their mission of Foil denloc. racy" into Ethiopia it seems to me it should be made clear that moi one cent of the American taxpay- CTS money. not one American gun or soldier will under any condition be used to protect the interests ot concession hunters in Ethiopia.

Sturdy little Baudouin, attract. ed to the spot by his sisters walls, was at the countess side by this time, his questions tumbling over each other.
 He. too, was told the full truth. But his child's mind seemed unable to grasp it's import. Half an hour later he was back at his games, pausing now and then to stare wide-eyed at his grief crumpled sister.
 Grief Is Everywhere
 Even little Princess Josephine was not more completely desolated by her mothers death than was the dowager Queen Elizabeth, King Leopold's mother, who ar- rived at the royal palace at 10 o'clock this morning, accompanied by her son and his brother, Prince Charles.
 The grief displayed in the park of Chateau Stuyvenberg was mui- tiplied a hundred thousand times throughout Belgium as the hour for Quen Astrid's funeral neared. The ceremony is to be held at II o'clock Tuesday morning.

Coroner Smyth included: Charles Bulkovitch of School street, Union City; Anthony Grabowski of School street, Union City; Harold Hepp, S5 Lounsbury street, Wa terbury; Philip Mallene, Al Ander- son street, Naugatuck; and Peter Strzezewski, III Spring street, Naugatuck.
 Accident Described
 The accident is described as fol- lows by he deputy coroner:
 The deceased was a mason's helper employed at the Eastern Malleable Iron Company in Naug- atuck. Connecticut. On August 18th several men were working on 8 stack about 53 feet high. Brick and cement were being hoisted to the top of the stack in a pail. On top of the stack one Peter Strzes- zewski removed the pail from the hook after it had been hoisted up and handed the brick to the work men engaged in laying them.
 Pail Slipped His Hand
 The pail containing the brick was hoisted up and when Strzes- zewski reached for 1t to take it off the hooks, the pail slipped from his hand. He at once shouted Hook out", but Bartold, who had just come through a door from the inside of the plant apparently did not hear him, and he was struck on the head by the pail of brick few feet from the doorway.
 The workmen had been cau- toned to be careful and not stand under the pail of brick and cement when it was being hoisted to the top of the stack.
 Bartold suffered a compound fracture of the skull and died without regaining consciousness.
 I find that said death was due to a compound fracture of the skull sustained in the manner heretofore described, and that said death was not due to the criminal negligence of any other person or persons.

 Possible complications resulting from war between Italy and Ethi- opia are believed minimized by the neutrality legislation enacted in the closing days of the recent con-. gress.
 What status the American com pany's claim would have should Italy take that part of Ethiopia by force, appeared uncertain. Off, ficials declined to speculate.
 Stimson Statement
 During the Manchurian invasion by Japan Secretary of State Henry l.. Stimson said the United States would not recognize any territory taken by force. This, however, presumably would not bind the present administration to protect concessions granted under condi- tions such as those in Ethiopia.
 To insist that the American company's prior rights to mineral resources, the primary object of Italy's proposed conquest, be re- spected might result in serious diff ferences between this country and Italy should Ethiopia be conquer ed, observers believed.
