Chicago, ~Feb 11-(UP)-Little old ladies sobbing in watery grief and old men whose deaths have frightened the relief rolls don't mean much to employees of the county morgue, so they bundled old Frederick Dinkelberg into a canvas wrapping today and took him away in mud spattered hearse. Nobody cared much. except one tiny old woman.
 But in New York tourists will ride down Broadway and look from rubberneck buses at the smoke stained old Flatiron building and do Frederick Dinkelberg homage. The Flatiron buildinel--and through 1t, every skyscraper in America--is Frederick Dinkelberg's monument. because he conceived and designed its famous bulk.
 Dinkelberg once had Q fortune near the six-flgure class. He headed his own architectural firm and built some of the country's best known buildings. He and his wife lived in fine home in Evanston.
 It all began to change six or seven years ago. A Chicago build. ing venture took their money. Ar- chitecturai firms failed by the doz. ems. Dlnkelberg's among them. Four years ago creditors took the Evansts0n home. Dinkelberg waB too old to start anew---he was 7S

DEATH RATE AT
 LOWEST RECORD
Down to lO.l Per 1000 in Connecticut = New
 Marks for Typhoid

Connecticut's death rate for the year 1884, based on 17,105 deaths, was 1O.1 per 1000 residents, which equalled the all.time record low death rate of 1882, according to the provisional summary of mor- tality for the year contained in to. days issue of the state department of health's weekly bulletin. Not only was the general death rate cut to the low record point, but the state also enjoyed new record low death rates for typhoid fever. Hi- phtheria, pneumonia, and tuber- culosis.
 In the provisional summary can ever continued to hold sway as the leading cause of mortality last year, having taken 2.201 lives. Ac- cident was the second best assist ant to the Grim Reaper with 1921 deaths.
 Meanwhile the birth rate per 1000 population continues the same downward trend 1t has followed since 2031. The actual number of births last year was 21,876 and the birth rate was 12.9. In 1890 the birth rate was 16.8 per 1000 resi- dents and 1t has been declining ever since.
 The rate for infant mortality (deatrs in the first year of life) t. computed per 1000 living births was 49.5 in 1884, higher than 1t has been since 1031.
 Death rates for the various causes of mortality are computed on the basis of so many per 10O,- 900 population.
 The mortality rates for both typhoid fever and diphtheria were exactly the same, O.9 per 100,O 900, and both established new record. These rates mean, the bulletin commented, that 250,000 people must now be assembled before there is a single death due to typhoid or diphtheria.
 The year witnessed few deaths due to influenza. The death rate of 63.6 for all forms of pneumonia Is the lowest ever recorded. In only two years previous to 1890 was this ever below 1000, accord ing to records dating back to 1885. Since 1880 1t has steadily bevn be- low 1000 with 1884 holding the record.
 Ali forms of tuberculosis also hit a new now mark in mortality, the combined rate for pulmonary and other forms of tuberculosis being 42.6.
 As cohpared with 1883. decreases in death rates were recorded in 1884 for measles, scarlet fever. whooping cough. and cerebrospinal meningitis. Cancer, diarrhoea, puerperal state, suicide and accid- ent were the causes of death which showed increased rates. The rate for infantile parlysis remained ex- actly the same.

REV CHARLES E.
 COUCHLIN MAKES 1 NEW ATTACKS
Banking Laws and the President Were Tar
 gets for Speaker

Detroit, Feb 11.-(UP)--The Roosevelt administration was ! charged to-day by the Rev Charles l.. Coughlin with having endorsed radical leanings toward interna- tional socialism along with certain agents of the administration who are theoretic communists" "The president has directly op- posed full standardization of federal reserve banks according to his banking act of 1885," Father Coughlin asserted yesterday in his regular radio address.
 "He appears content to praise a measure which permits private owners to continue profiteerlng up- on bonds and the manufacture of money under firmer federal con- trol.
 "The president cannot escape the charge of protecting the bank ers' questionable privilege of manu- featuring money, loaning credit and enacting in return their pound of currency flesh," the priest said.
 The National Union for Social Justice has drawn substitute bill to the banking act which VIII be presented congress next week." Father Coughlin said. "A major article of that bill, standardization of Federal Reserve banks. is the first step toward pros- perity of permanent type. "The N. U. $. J. demands that the government owned bank shall be the fiscal agent to refinancc our national debt without the racket of interest.
 If the right of private property is to be upheld, let us also permit possessor of such property to breathe freely, without threaten ing them with the ship of Soviet lgovernment competition"

 Colonel Lindbergh placed too much confidence in those people.
 Somebody advised Col Lind bergh the police were not needed.
 "I couldn't imagine a father in such circumstances, paying over that money and not tearing that extortioner limb from limb. But they made him stay down the street away from the scene. And the colonel testified that was Hauptmann.
 But 1 say to the colonel that q man who has so many hours in motors, and facing different cli- matic conditions, could have been wrong in his Identification of the voice.
 "The colonel suffered in silence and if in the courtroom he is mis- taken, that is to be understood.
 But for Condon I have no sym pathy when think of his stories on this stand.

 "He took the Colonel on wild goose chase in the air at ' o'clock in the morning."
 Reilly hammered at the state for declining to bring in Condon's rec ord of his recollection of Johns" voice, for not bringing in the foot print found by Condon's son-in-law in the cemetery.
 "They didn't dare," he said. "It wasn't like Hauptmann's voice. It wasn't his footprint"
 "They talk about justice! Hang this man and cover up our sins! Yes, hang this man and then have someone confess on his death bed. 10 years hence that he was part of the Lindbergh kidnap gang!
 Reilly then attacked the reputa- ton of Dr Charles H. Mitchell. the coroner's physician who performed the autopsy on the baby's body.
 'The cracks he found in the baby's skull he couldn't say were ca used during life.
 But he found a blood clot. He had not witness to his autopsy. He had no report; he filled out rec ord.

teen-year-old Mary Elizabeth Smith

officers she shot him after she, had
been served with annulment papers.
Perplexed by the legal phraseology
