Da- vid Greenberg found himself on a rock where he was able to stand up with his head and shoulders above the water. Myrna Cohen, with Mi- riam Kramer and Mary DePaolo grabbed hold of him. Sherman Kramer, who could not swim, went down near the spot where the boat submerged. The excited cries or the party attracted the people m the other boat who were going to the mainland. They immediately came back to the scene of the acci- dent. There they found MT. Green- berg, who directed them in locating the drowning persons. Occupants of the other boat dove out of the boat where he directed, located Mary DePaolo, Miriam Kramer, sherman Kramer and Myrna Cohen and put their bodies in the boat and took them to the dock on the shore side. There they endeavored to give them first aid and of the four only Miriam Kramer and Mary DePaolo recovered. The others had drowned before help could reach them, The boat was not located that night, but the following day was located by members of the State Police force and brought to shore where it was emptied of wa ter and a careful inspection did not at first disclose any defect m the boat.
 However, after the boat had been emptied it was put back into the water and five men got into the boat, took it 8 short distance out into the pond and then, by throw ing their combined weight on either side. discovered that on one side of the boat, hidden away under the oyerhanging gunwale, there was a long crack which, when 1t was brought down to the level of the water, permitted the water to run | in in large amounts. This, of course was not visible even upon Q close | inspection of the outside and only found when the edge of the boat was actually brought to the surface of the water so that the tests made

traffic violations" says Captain LeRoy. "It's the driver of the com mercial car, who always wants to be in 8 hurry, who violates the law most of the time. They come in every day to pay, and most of them are young fellows who drive deliv- cry cars or trucks. Red light or stop signs don't mean 8 thing to these fellows until they're caught"
 Tribute to Women
 With his customary gallantry, Captain LeEsoy paid tribute to wo- men drivers. Women" he de- clared, "are safer drivers. Signals mean something to them, and they obey the laws better than the men drivers do."
 Superintendent Joseph H. Me- Lean also has noted that most of the violators pulled in in the pres ent drive have been young men, and that a large majority of them are drivers of commercial vehicles. Warnings don't seem to mean a thing" said Superintendent Me- Lean. "The only lesson that teach- es these drivers anything is when they're arrested and have to pay or go to court"
 Brings In the Money
 The police campaign, which has now been underway several weeks, has brought hundreds of dollars into the city court treasury. Five members of the police department have been on special duty in the crusade, while uniformed members of the department have also been under orders to watch for viola tions.
 The drive will continue indef- initely.

 Anger Is Growing.
 That the anger among left wing clements is growing was made plain to-day by reports that the rank and file of the radical socialists may force not only Herriot but their four other ministers from the cabinet.
 Laval and Anthony Eden, British minister for league affairs, return ed on the same train from Geneva, Eden continued on to Paris.
 Hopes of peace taded with the opposition to the plan. French opin- ion veered toward the belief that fighting might continue for many weeks. There was seen but one chance for halting military opera tions - the rains which are next month to creep across northern Ethiopia westward. a

 If the court of pardons refuses clemency, Hauptmann probably will ask for a new trial, claiming new evidence has been discovered. His attorneys have given no indication of optimism, despite reports that Detective Chief Ellis Parker of Bur- lington county has been mysteri- ously investigating the case and that Gov. Harold Hoffman, mem- Der of the court of pardons, believes the case has many unsolved angles"
 Hoffman said today he was i1- terested in Hauptmann "only to square my conscience" but had heard evidence from Parker that caused him to doubt "that finis has been written"

 It was not disclosed what clari- fication Mussolini sought. But It was believed he intended to inquire as to the eastern frontier contem- plated for Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. This would open the way for him to join his new territory in Tigre province - if he gets 1t = with the frontier of the new Italian Somaliland as France and Britain see it. The French British proposals did not recommend any eastern frontier for Tigre province. And from the Italian viewpoint the new territory to be acquired could be extended southward on its eastern side.

 Hence the general public felt that the war might continue for several tions, until airplanes could bomb the months, during diplomatic negotia- territory and make it ready for oc- cupation of soldiers.
 The failure of the plan to provide a strip of territory joining the col- onies was the principal subject or Italian objection. It was felt also that not enough territory in north ern Ethiopia was to be handed over to Italy. But all Italians were as- tonished as well as pleased by the generosity of the French and Brit ish statesmen in seeking to give Italy colonization and exploitation rights throughout southern Ethiopia.

 Not Attack On Church

 The suit says the youngster was crossing the street about 1 o'clock in the afternoon of the date in question when the defendants truck, driven by Bernie Stanis in a westerly direction along West Liberty street, struck the young ster and ra mover him.
 The truck is said to have been a 1917 model and it's mechanism is alleged to have been defective in that the brakes were not in good working order. The boy died from injuries he received the day he was struck.

Fifteen Americans rejoiced with the townspeople of ancient Seres today at the collapse of the revolt and the entrance of General George Condylis and his loyalist army.
 Col William J. Judge, of the Monks, Ulen Drainage company of New York, told the United Press that he and other Americans had been practically prisoners of war all week.
 They were not permitted by the rebels, he said, to send or receive messages and were compelled to remain in their homes.
 "The campaign may be consid- cred as finished" Condylis told the United Press. "Seres was the key to the whole situation. No further armed resistance is to be expect ed"
