SALES TAX. IS CAUSING BIG DEBATE
It Has Also Put the Social ists on Side of
 Democrats THEY WANT INCOME
 TAX SUBSTITUTED Both Parties Caucused Before Senate Got
 Under Way

Hartford, Conn, May l5- (UP) - Growing opposition to the $8,0OO,OOO sales tax municipal relief bill was re- ported today as senate re- publicans and democrats cau- cused before the Senate con- vened.
 Both democrats and social ists were said to favor strik- ing out the sales tax feature and substituting an income tax clause, with exemptions up to s3.500 for single persons and $5,- 900 for married persons.
 The income tax provisions were suggested by socialists early in the session and were showed into the. foreground when the special tax study commission recommended the sales levy.
 Socialist opposition to the sales. tax was based on an argument 1t would shoulder the entire tax load on the consumer whereas the in- come assessment would soak the rich.''
 The income tax suggests per cent on the first $1,500 of taxable

 Washington, May Is - (UP) = Vice. President John N. Garner was reported today to have suggested to certain senators that it would be- "good politics. to vote to override a presidential veto of the Patman inflationary bonus bill.
 The genial Texan thus placed himself in open disagree- ment with Mir Roosevelt over the controversial question.
 It was learned authoritativeIy that several senators who are unde- cided how to vote have been ad- vised by Garner that a ballot cast against the President would have no harmful effect.
 Garner, whose 32 years experi- ence in congress have made him an astute politician, declined to cone firm or deny the reports.
 His political philosophy on. the bonus issue was represented in this manner:

DEFICIT OF
 CITY SHOWS GOOD DROP
C Considerable Decrease Is Noted for the Past
 Three Years
BALANCE FOR 1884
 WAS ONLY $23O, 200
Shows Reduction of Over $75O,O0O Compared
 With l03z

A decided decrease in the cash deficit balance for the City of Waterbury is noted in the past three years accord. ing to figures obtained at the city controllers office today. The balance for the year 1884, based on the record as of May 1, 1885, is $23O,2OO, which compared to the balance for 1882, shows 8 reduction of over S750,
 In 1932 the balance was l9S9, 709 and in 1893, $541,015. These defi- cits represent the difference be- tween the cash receipts and ex- penditures for those years after all bills are paid. The deficits arise through the lack of tax payments.
 May All Be Wiped Out
 It can be noted that the reduc- tions are decidedly decreased dur ing the three years and that the present deficit should be wiped out, provided the collections of back taxes are maintained at their present rate.
 Each year the payments to lower the deficit are taken from the surplus resource sinking fund to which fund is added the tax pay ments as they come in. The bal ance of the deficit for each year is always figured in the May that follows in the ensuing year so that the 1885 deficit will not be ascer- tained until May of 1936. The balance is determined in May of each year because the tax collec- tors year runs from May to May of each year.

COMPLAINTS ON STATE HOSPITAL
 GIVEN HEARING
Hours Too Long, Pay Too
 Small Admits Supt Dr Roy |. Leak

Hartford, Conn, May 15.-(UP)
 Discontent among employees of the Middletown State hospital for the insane is g result of hours that are damnably long and pay that is damnably small" according to the superintendent, Dr Roy L.. Leak. Testifying before the gen. eral assenbly's committee on hu- mane institutions, which late yes- terday investigated complaints of more than 30 employees, pr Leak and Prof George M. Butcher, Wes- leyan university, chairman of the board of trustees, said the hospi- tai operated as best it could under a rigid schedule fixed by the state board of finance and control.
 Welcome Revision
 'No one would welcome more a revision of the schedule than the trustees and Dr Leak,'' said Prof Butcher. Five of the complain ing employees were summoned to the hearing. Ernest Rushton, a ward attendant, said the help worked from 6:30 a. m. to 1880 D.. m., with two hours off and many times put in extra two hours when evening amusements were planned for patients.
 Thomas Lyons, dairy herds man, complained the hospital farm was poorly managed" the equipment inadequate and patients had been worked long hours in the dairy barn.
 Austin Garvie charged one of the doctors with refusing to treat a patients hand and he had seen patients return from work in cold weather with frozen fingers.
 Neal A. Millane, Middletwn, a trustee, defended the management and blamed much of the discon- tent on ''gossiping among em- ployes."
 He complained, however, "the hospital is firetrap and sin on the shoulders of the men on the appropriations committee" No Patient Need Work
 pr Leak said that no patient was compelled to work and those who did ''sat around most of the time."
 He blamed the low operation ap- on auditors who two years ago formulated the state budget.
 The hospital houses 3,150 pa- tients and employees 599 attend ants.

 Washington May 15-(UP)-An announcement on behalf of Con- necticut's cows said today that if they can nibble their way through the New Deals red tape, they in- tend to go into the liquor business.
 They will produce the raw ma terial, a nourishing white liquid heretofore consumed largely by babies. Messrs. Carl Lazarowitz and David A. Schultz, couple of Connecticut Yankees whose slogan is '-from-cow-t -to-cocktail." will do the rest.
 They will pour the fluid into the vats at their plant at Norwalk. Gradually it will become less opaque. Slowly it will lose that breakfast-food taste. Eventually 1t will become sparkling liquor, 90 proof or so, with a wallop like a cows hoof. Even now the cows of Connecticut would have been working 24 hours day in the li- quor rectifying business, had it not been for the devious ways of government. But red tape being what it is. here's the story from the beginning:
 Weeks ago Lazarowitz and Schultz applied to the federal al- cohol control administration for a permit to manufacture liquor from milk. That floored the FACA. It knew all about plans to make strong drink from grapefruit juice. maple syrup. pineapple juice and caraway seeds-but milk. Gosh. So director Joseph Choate. Jrs sent the application over to tho pure food and drug administration for study by pr. l. w. Sales. He knew that in Arabia or some such vlace--be wasn't quite sure--thc

HERO OF RAILROAD
WRECK is ACCUSED
OF MANSLAUGHTER
Throws Wrong Switch Causing
Smash in Which Is Lose
Their Lives.

Toronto.-By grim jest Of fate. Ed
ward Lynch, Canadian National rail-
way brakeman. who on Christmas night
risked his life in an attempt to save
hundreds Of lives, instead of being ac-
claimed as hero, faces charge Of
manslaughter.
Racing at breakneck speed to avert
what he feared would be collision be-
tween his own stalled train and an on
coming express, Lynch turned switch
which sent the express crashing into
the standing train. resulting in the
death Of fifteen passengers and serious
injury to forty others.
The error which precipitated the
very disaster which Lynch risked his
life to avert lay In the fact that he
did not know his own train had been
routed onto siding at the Dundas
(Ont) station. The brakeman believed
1t was still standing on the main line,
and, hearing the oncoming express, he
threw the switch, and diverted the flyer
onto the same siding.
Brakeman uniformed.
Lynch told coroner's jury investi-
eating the Christmas fatality that, as
front-end brakeman. 1t should have
been his duty to open the switch which
would route his train onto the siding
when it halted for repairs to crank
pin. He had been engaged elsewhere
in the train at the time, however, and
the switch had been opened by Charles
Phelps, the rear brakeman, without his
knowledge.
When the conductor and the engineer
decided to wire to Toronto for a fresh
engine, Lynch volunteered to walk a
quarter of mile back to the Dundas
station and send the necessary tele-
gram.
Train Approaching.
"Just as I reached the end Of our
train, saw the headlights of 16 (the
oncoming express) in the distance"
Lynch told the jury. 81 grabbed a
lamp and fuses, and tried to flag her,
but she didn't STOP"
The brakeman described how he had
then raced over the icy tracks, almost
into the path Of the flyer, to reach the
switch and turn it, with a margin Of
only few seconds.
The brakeman will probably face
trial at Hamilton, and it is intimated
that in case Of conviction the crown
will not press for severe sentence
against him.
