Authorities Study
 Coroner's Finding
Livolsi Accused of Misleading Police in Investigation
 of Fatal Accident-No Criminal Negligence Seen

The detective bureau will prob ably turn the case over to the city court prosecutors for an opinion rested on any criminal charge. The coroner's finding claims that Livcl- so coached" witnesses before, they were questioned by police, and that the Ansonian led police to believe that he had picked O'Connor up from the road and brought him to St Mary's hospital after the pedestrian had been struck by a hit-and-run driver. It is consid- cred almost certain whatever police here may do, that action will be taken against Livolsi by the state motor vehicle department.
 Named Defendant
 Meanwhile, Livolsi today became the defendant in a $10,0OO damage suit brought by relatives of o'Con- nor.
 As the coroner reconstructs the accident, Livolsi's car contained several passengers and was pro- ceeding down Washington street, near Hamilton avenue, when it approached O'Connor, who was in the road. The car attempted to avoid O'Connor but failed, and the accident was seen by Ernest La montague of 108 Dixie avenue. O'Conner was placed in the. car and taken to St Mary's hospital after two women passengers bod gotten out of the machine.
 O'Connor died at the hospital later that night without being able to give any information about the accident. Livolsi and Lamontagne, the coroner claims, told investigat- ing policemen, among them De- tective Joseph Bender and Patrol man Charles McWeeney, that OConnor had been hit by a hit and-run driver.
 Coroner Comments n
 In regard to Livolsi, the coroner comments:
 T cannot find that this man is criminally responsible for the death of O'Connor, who was ly- ing intoxicated in the highway as Livolsi came along, but Livolsi certainly attempted to mislead and deceiye the police department members who were investigating thecase. This, of course, Is not being criminally responsible for the death but is certainly criminally attempting to mislead and deceive Investigating officers in order to evade~responsibility."

BOOTLECCER HAS
 LOST SENTIMENT
Public Now BehOlds Him as ''Tax DOdger" De-
 clares Investigator

Completing the task of destroy ing illicit still equipment valued at $25O,000 here today, agents of the internal revenue bureaus tax col- lection department will begin on Monday the destruction of similar apparatus valued at the same amount in the government ware house in New Haven. The destruc- .tion work here was done at the government warehouse of the Blakeslee Co.,, at Field and Meadow streets.
 Chief Investigator Joseph c. o. Kane, who is in charge of fed- eral liquor law enforcement in this state, explained this week that the half-million dollars worth of stills being destroyed here and in New Haven represents all the illicit dis tilling equipment seized in the state during the past year.
 Chief Investigator O'Kane point ed. out that one of the greatest changes in public sentiment since repeal has been toward illicit liquor and toward the bootlegger. The public, the federal man thinks, no longer thinks of the bootleg ger with sympathy but instead re- gard him as tax dodger who. if let alone, will force his fellow citizens to pay more taxes for his successful evasion of the law.
 Examples like the one here this week when the work of destroy ing a half-1nillion dollars worth of still equipment was begun help, in the chief investigators opinion, to make the tax evader and the pub- lie realize that the government no longer trifles with violations. of the liquor laws. Soon, he predicts. the bootlegger, the manufacturer of illicit liquor, will be almost en- tirely a thing of the past.

ARMISTICE SOUGHT BY LOCAL BARBERS
Mass Meeting Tomorrow to End Price Cutting
 War Locally

Efforts to end the renewed price war among the local barbers will be made tomorrow morning at a mass meeting of all local barberc. Sponsored by the Waterbury Mas ter Barber Association, the session will be held at o'clock in the as- scciation's headquarters at 10 Bank street. .-
 Another important subject dis cussed at the meeting will be the various bills affecting the barber trade now before the two houses of the General Assembly. c. J. Cartellano. state president, has been secured as the principal speaker for the meeting tomorrow and will discuss the bills pending at Hartford. ,rss, <.
 It is reported that an attempt will be made to have the General Assembly void much of the pres- ent regulations governing barber shops, and MT Cartellano will bring authentic information on this sre- . port. Rumors are also heard that attempts will be made to bring about modification of the pres ent closing and opening schedules.
 As the mass meeting comes to- morrow, the price cutting situation here is as bad or even worse than 1t was several months ago, prior to the reaching of a city-wide agree ment which was to keep prices at 50 cents for haircut and 25 cents for a shave.
 Shops even near the center of the city are offering haircuts for 35 and even 25 cents, while slaves are now down to 20 cents and IS cents in a number of shops. The price war has reached almost bit- ter proportions in some sections of the city and has given no evidence of approaching a close.
 Both master and journeymen barbers have been invited to to- morrow's citywide mass meeting of the barber trade.

JeffersOnian Club Plans Splendid Tribute to
 Mayor Tayes

Attorney Joseph M. Navin, presl- dent of the Jeffersonian club, an- nounced today that plans have been completed for the testimonial dinner to be rendered to Lieuten- ant Governor Frank Hayes by tho club on Jefferson's birthday, April 18th, at the Elton hotel. An elab- crate program of speakers has been arranged, which will include Senators Lonergan and Maloney, Governor Cross and Congressman J. Joseph Smith. All state and To- cal dignitaries will be in attend ance.
 The principal speaker will be United States Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach of the state of Washington. The senator is Il years of age, a native of Seattle, and was former state commander of the American Legion in the state of Washington. He is a lawyer by pro- fession and was president and orr ganizer of the North Coast Bank and Trust company of Seattle. Senator Schwellenbach served as a private in the World war, and is former president of the board of regents of the University of Wash ington.
 Among the organizations to which he belongs are the Elks and the Eagles, and his activity in dem ocratic circles dates back to 1920, during which time he has served as state chairman, and in 1892 was the dem ocratic candidate for gov- ernor of his state.
 The club is deeply indebted to Postmaster General Farley for his interest in the dinner, for it was through his efforts that Senator Schwellenbach was secured. It is fitting that the Jeffersonian club should honor their fellow citizen. Lieutenant Governor Frank Hayes, on the birthday of the first great democrat.

his apparent lack OF stamina need

ports that Wear would send Sidney
Wood. blond New Yorker. into the

replacement for Allison.
But the American captain spiked
ali that.
TT would be foolish to change
the lineup now" he said.

WASHINGTON, July 25. Up
Surrounded by controversy. the
administrations tax plan neared
bill form Thursday amid authorita-
tive predictions that the president
would have to intervene To make
sure ne got what he wanted.
The house ways and means COM
nittee remained on the edge Of re-
volt against his suggestion that
the measure include a graduated
corporation income tax ranging
from 10& TO l6A per cent. One
man close to the president re-
marked that "he may have to call
them down there and talk turkey
ID them to get them to agree with
him"
Meanwhile, the dispute over the
question Of exemption for charit-
able contributions made by cor
porations promised to be one Of the
most vigorous In the whole strug-
gle. President Roosevelt was stand
ing by his announcement that such
exemptions should not be allowed.
His view was that the donations
amounted to the purchase Of good
will.
Just as firmly. a representative OF
three welfare groups was insisting
that to bar these exemptions would
be a "obdy blow" to private well
fare agencies and would mean go
ing back to the horse and buggy
days OF private charity" This
opinion was expressed by Allen It.
Burns. executive vice president of
Community Chests and Councils,
Inc.
Doughton said a tentative bill
would be ready for submission to
the fun committee Monday. He
implied that virtually everything
but the corporation income tax idea
had been agreed upon a check sup
piled information indicating that
the bill would seek to raise the fol-
lowing amounts through these tax
