Radical Change in View
The transfer to-day is the first
indication that the city will make
a radical change in it's relief set
up in order to establish eligibility
for more equitable share of fed
eral relief appropriations Because
Of its Mutual Aid system, classified
by the state relief commission as
a private organization, Waterbury
has been denied the larger portion
of federal funds which might other
wise have been allocated.
At the recent annual meeting of
the Mutual Aid Unemployment
fund, it was announced that 'in
view of the uncertainty of federal
relief plans the pledges, normally
renewed for a period Of one year,
would this time be made only for
six months. Since then plans have
been in progress for the changes
necessary to secure larger grants.

SEXTUPLETS ARE
 BELIEVED DEAD
They Took the Spotlight From Quintuplets for
 Only One Day

New Orleans, Feb 23-(U.P)- The Accra sextuplets, who for a day stole the spotlight from the Dionne quintuplets. apparently re- posed to-day in African graves.
 Dr Edward A. Schumann of the University of Pennsylvania, admit ted in interviews that it might be true" that the sextuplets were born in 1903 and probably never lived to be more than eight days old.
 His statement came after he had started some 300 physicians and medical students here Thursday night with first news" and 0 pie ture of the African babies.
 What he failed to tell his au- dience. however, was that he had had the picture of the babies bask- ing in the African sunshine at least 10 years. He said he received the news of the sextuplets and the pie ture from a missionary In Accra, Gold Soast. Aprica.
 The missionary has since died.
 "The Dionne babies leave me cold the physician told his listen CTS. Then. displaying lantern slide of the African sextuplets, he added:
 "These babies were born at the same time by the same mother ana after eight days were in good health.
 What happcnd to them after the eighth day. the doctor was unable to say, but. pressed for more de- tails last night, he told newspaper men that 1t was likely they had dlcd

 During 1884, federal hints in Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco coined 358,269,353 pieces with value of $25,951,760 come pared with 23,109,250 pieces during 1883 with a value of $13,136,226s In addition the hints coined 24,- 280,00O pieces for, foreign nations during the year, more than in the previous two years, Mrs. Ross, . former governor of Wyoming said.
 "The tax on bank checks, which recently ended, probably had sonne- thing to do with the demand for small change" Mrs. Ross said. 'It caused people to pay their bills in cash instead of checks, frequent- ly. Numbers rackets, sales of hard and soft drinks, and state sale9 taxes also were contributing fac- tors.
 There is little demand for the old-time silver dollar in the couil- try except in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast areas-traditionat hard money regions-and even there, it seems to slip"

 TAKES THE LOOT

New York. Feb. 20 - (UP) A well-dressed young man ate q sumptuous dinner, topped off by champagne, at Tillsons Amber Lantern last night, and then, after buying Mrs Anson Tillson u drink In appreciation of the service, robbed the till of $1,00.
 The debonair bandit fingered long over his food. AS Mrs Tillson prepared to close for the night. he asked her 10 join him in a drink, complimentinR her upon the food and service. When she sat down al his table, the man leaned forward and said quietly:
 Mrs. Tlllson, this Is a holdup." His hand was beneath his coat, under his left 2rmpit. Following instruction, Mrs. Tillson quietly led tho bandit to the cashiers cage, and from there to the ladies rest room where the money was hande" over.

Threat Letters Haue Become Very Serious
.Of Federal Government Dept of Justice Will ...
 ..aAiiiandIe Che With Kidnapping Tiffea ars

investigation of the threatening letters received by Charles DeBis- schop is now in the hands of the federal government, 1t was learned today. DeBisschop, the Democrat stated yesterday in an exclusive story, has received several threat ening missives, turning them over to authorities for investigation. Letters of a threatening nature are usually traced by the post office department, but since one of the DeBisschop letters is said to in- volve Kidnapping threat, the matter will probably be handled by the U. s. Department Of Justice. Operatives of the latter department will undoubtedly center their search for the sender of the threatening letters in this city.
 Though letters of Q threatening nature can be regarded us a joke" by the sender. they are not so treated by the federal govern ment. Heavy penalties are in- volved for the mailing of abusive or threatening letters, while the comparatively new "Lindbergh" law gives penalties up to life inn prisonment for the mailing of let ters in which Kidnapping Is threat ened. MT DeBisschop will un- doubtedly be first questioned by the department of justice agents. The local man. resident of East Mountain road. gave strong testi- mony in defense of Hauptmann when the latter was on trial for his fife in New Jersey.

FORMER EMPLOYE
 SUED COMPANY
New Haven Road Is Made Defendant Phillip Cur.
 rier Asks $25,OOO

The New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company is named defendant to-day in | 825,O00, civil action by one of its former employees, Phillip Currier of this city, who claims his perma- nent disability is a result of m injury he suffered while working for the railroad near Kent. Tie suit was instituted in the common pleas court here, the papers being drawn by Attorney William E. Fitzgerald and Attorney Charles Tumma.
 Currier was engaged in pulling | spike from a railroad tie, Jan. R5th, 1884, when the claw bar he was using, slipped and he was thrown forward, wrenching his back so that he could not move. He claims he was forced to lie for. two hours in 2 large snow-drist' before assistance came. The Wrenching of his back is alleged to have aggravated a pre-existipG back condition and as Q result now suffers from a sinai disarrange- ment which will be permanent in nature. He claims he has lost the permanent use of his back and legs and will be forced to submit to . ypine fusion operation. His abil- fly to earn . livelihood issnow irn- paired, he charges.
 The suit charges the defendant Cailroad with negligence In supply lng the plaintiff with defective tools with which to work and espc- claliy the claw bar which was the cause of his injury. It is unusual for an employe to sue his employ CT and such civil actions are rare- ly being brought now. The suit 's returnable to the common pleas ,:ourt here the first Tuesday of March.
