Authorities Continue
 Probe OfT Truck Crash
Broken Drive Shaft Accepted as Theory of Cause;
 Victims Funeral O=mOrrOw-Damages at $2O,OOO

66 East Clay street, to St Ana's church, where a solemn mass of requiem will be sung at 9 o'clock. Burial will be in Calvary cemetery. Present at the services will be fei- low truck drivers, those on strike and those still at work, the entire membership of St Ann's athletic association of which the dead youth was Q member, and scores of personal friends.
 The home of Ralph Story and family, whcih was cut ill two and had part of its lower floor de- iifolished as sthe truckN plowcd through after 1t left the highway, will have to be entirely rebuilt. MT and Mrs Story and their two children are meanwhile staying at the home of friends, still shaken by their near miraculous escape from death or injury in the crash.
 Drive Shaft Broke
 Investigating authorities, ad-- hitting that 8 definite reconstruc- tion of the tragedy is a near irn- possibility, due to the complete destruction of the truck when 1t caught fire after oyerturning. still hold that the most acceptable theory is that the drive-shaft cf the vehicle broke as the truck was halfway down the mountain. As the broken shaft wnirled and twisted, 1t must have cut the lines which lead to the air brakes, leav- ing Lemieux with the steering wheel as the only means of cor- trolling the truck in it's mad raco to death down the steep mountain. Coming on a passenger car near the foot of the hill. Lemieux swerved rather than have the truck roar into the light car, and as he did so, the truck sliced against the highway fence on the left side, broke through, dug a furrow through the ground to the Story homestead and came to rest only after crashing through the home and overturning.
 Estimate of Damages
 The trucks cargo was valued at $1O,0O0, the truck itself at more than $6,00O, while damage to the Story home and the adjacent Neu- man dwelling will reach more than $5,000.

The machine caught fire as it's nose dug into the ground and sent the rest. of the heavy vehicle into a catastrophe eomersault. Plans were compler- Id sthis morning for funeral ser. vices in Waterbury tomorrow for George Lemieux, 22. of North Main street, heroic driver who was crushed to death as he clung to the wheel in an effort to save his $10,000 cargo from crashing through passenger car ahead.

"The Forgotten Dog Asks For Square Deal

Town Clerk Dora Egan to- day called attention of dog owners to the fact that only a few days remain to secure licenses for 1885. Applica- tiOns, she said, have been cx- trcmcly slow in coming in this year, with only 500 licenses for the year issued up to yestcr- day as compared with more than 900 at the same time last year.
 Unless owners license their canincs before next Wcdncs- day they must pay an extra dollar penalty, i'm addition to the regular fec. License for female dogs cost $1O.25, while those for males or spaycd females cost $2.
 The town clerk urged that owners of dogs secure the H. cense before the rush of the last few days get underway. Though the office of the town clerk will be open till s o'clock next Tuesday and Wednesday nights for the convenience of tn public, 1t Is hoped that most of the owners will have secur- cd licenses for their dogs be- fore that time.

Changes Viii Make
Fish Strea,nlined
Trap to Be Used in TAX.
ing Salmon Over Fall
for Spa,Cning.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
One by-product of the New Deal
may be a race of streamlined SAL
mon, if the guess of fish experts here
proves correct.
Officials of the Bureau of Fisheries
said today the Grand Coulee Dam
being built in Washington State with
Government funds may make the SAL
mon in the Columbia River lighter,
thinner, more streamlined.
When salmon begin their upstream
swim from the ocean to spawning
grounds, said Glen o. Leach, chief
Of the fish culture division, they have
just enough energy and "just enough
fat" to take them to their destina-
ton.
But the Grand Coulee Dam, 300
feet high. will cut short their trip.
They won't be able to jump over it.
The plan is to catch them in a fish
trap, and carry them to a hatchery,
in which they will spawn and from
which the baby salmon-about 100,-
OOG.0O0 each season-will be released.
"The salmon caught in the trap
at Grand Coulee would 60 perhaps
$50 miles farther upstream if they
could" Leach said.
