KAMINSKI WILL BE TOLD TO-DAY
 OF LAST RULING
Late This Afternoon He Is to Be Told Last Hope
 Has Gone

Boston, Feb 7-(UP)-- Alexar- der Kaminski, young Connecticut convict who clubbed to death a Springfield jail guard, still hoped today that his life might be spared unaware that his last chance to escape the electric chair had van- ished.
 Not until late today, when he is transferred from his cell in the Cherry Hin section of State Prison to the death house, will the stolid Now Britain youth learn that Gov ernor Curley and the executive council have refused to commute his sentence to life imprisonment.
 Kaminski will be electrocuted at the end of a 30-day respite granted him by the governor last month. This fixes the week of February 17 for the execution, and Kaminski probably will go to the chair early February 19.
 Court Ruling Decided It.
 Governor Curley is personally opposed to capital punishment and once was a member of the advis- ory committee of the Massachusett Council for the abolition of the death penalty. Thus Kaminskis s friends had hoped he might inter- vene. But the governor, after read ing an opinion by Superior Judge Nelson r. Brown, the trial judge. declared he was convinced 1t was "clearly my duty not to interfere with the decision fthe courts"

CLERICAL FORCE AT EZRA OFFICE
 TO BE DROPPED
No More Appropriation Unless Relief Bill Is
 Passed Quickly

Sixty-four clerical ana profes- sional EZRA employees have been notified that they will be dropped from the payroll one week from to-day, William M. Harris, EZRA and Mutual Aid director, said this morning. The order from state headquarters was neccssitated through lack of sufficient funds to carry the staff beyond February IA and includes the entire person. mel of the "C. and F." division according to MT Harris.
 Announcement of an additional appropriation of $180,00O needed ! to continue EZRA work until Feb- ruary IA was made yesterday by |, Miss Eleanor H. Little, state relief director. This fund. 1t Is under stood, represents the final allot- ment from the federal government. pending the passage of relief meas ure now before congress.
 MT Harris said that dismissal orders do not apply to the laborers on EZRA projects and that a small surplus has been built up which will carry their payroll through the middle of the month. The sur. plus, he said, was derived from the additional $20,O00 allotted to the city for January, and which was not completely expended.
 He stated that he would not or- der EZRA projects to be discon- tinued until officially notified ;O do so.
 Relief administrators of 159 com. munities in the state have wired senators demanding immediate ac- ton on the relief program in an effort to gain passage of the bill before appropriations of EZRA funds are entirely exhausted.

BILL OF TRAFFIC COURT DELAYED
 IN ITS HEARING
Senator Culhane Author of Measure Explains
 Why It Was Done
BY WILLIAM J. MORIARTY Especial Legislative RepOrter)

State Capitol, Hartford, Feb q. The hearing on the bill of Sem
 ator George T. Culhane of Water-
 bury establishing a traffic court in Waterbury, similar to that now
 existing in Danbury, was to-day postponed. It was scheduled to
 be heard before the judiciary com
 mittee at 2 D. m.
 The postponement was suj- den and unexpected. Senator Culhane explained it by merely saying that postponement was necessary to straighten out several points in the measure.
 However, it was believed ata the Capitol that recent opposition to the bill had much to do with call
 ing off today's scheduled hearing. And it was also believed that the opposition voiced by Governor
 Wilbur l.. Cross to the Danbury court had some bearing on 1t.
 These facts, plus the fact that
 other Waterbury legislators were not overly enthusiastic about the
 proposal, probably have caused the real withdrawal of the measure.
 It Is well known that justices of the peace in the several towns that would have comprised the
 court district were planning a bit- ter assault upon 1t.
 One of the most open critics was Senator William c. Hungerford of Watertown who would have
 been affected by the bill, inasmuch
 as he is a justice of the peace in (Continued on Page 4.)

Other changes were made in the bill but 1t was still fin a form satisfactory to the administration. The "prevailing wage" amendment was sponsored by the American Federation of Labor as a means or preventing an adverse effect on wage rates for private employment which might result from payment of a low subsistence rate on public works. The amendment referred only to the rate of wage and would not necessarily increase 8 workers earnings. If administrators Of the act decided on an average wage or $50 a month, a worker would De hired only for the time required to earn that much.
 The committee may complete work on the bill tomorrow.
 The "prepairing" wage amend. ment was approved by a vote of 12 to 8. It was proposed by Sen. Fat MacCarren. d., Nev.
 Other changes written into the measure:
 1. A provision that on projects recurring 10 per cent of skilled labor the work shall be done by
 2. A declaration that facilities of private enterprise" shall be used wherever possible" ,,
 8. A section of the original bill giving the president . authority to acquire property by purchase or by the power of, eminent domain was restored. This was said to be want ed by the administration in con- nection with its plan for a tree belt" in the west.
 The proposal for substitution of a dole" program for the public works plan. defeated yesterday, was not brought up again. Advo- cates of the "dole" were preparing to fight the issue out when the bill, already passed by the house reaches the senate floor.

(. O.P. BOSS FOUND
 GUILTY TO-DAY
Jury Brings in Verdict of Manslaughter in Fatal
 Election Fight

Pottsville, Pa, Feb 7-(UP)- Joseph J. Bruno, former republi- can boss of Kline township. today was found guilty of voluntary man. slaughter in connection with the death of Frank Fiorella, 65, who with four other men, was slain at the mining town of Kelayres in an election eve political battle.
 Bruno's wife and his two daugh- ters, Alvedta Bruno and Mrs An toinette Billig. were visiting with him in his cell when word of the jury's agreement reached the jail. Bruno was brought into court.
 Eight minutes later the verdict was announced.
 It had been feared for a time that a mistrial would be declared because of the illness of Mrs John Connors, juror No. 2. who suffered a slight attack of appen- dicitis. She rested on a cot which was moved into the jury room when deliberations were resumed this morning.
 Shortly after Dr James Heller completed an examination of her, the other jurors gathered around the cot and agreed on the verdict within a few minutes.
 Bruno, his sons, Alfred and James, his brother, Phillip, hiS nephews, Arthur and Paul, and a brother-in-law, Anthony Orlando, werearrested during the week that followed the shootings in the small mining community where the Brunos republican regime was bitterly opposed by the democratic faction under Carl and Daniel Mac Aloose.
 The grand jury returned true bills against Bruno and his rela- tivcs.
 Bruno has lived in Kelayres 45 years Ind Is justice of the peace, a county detective, president of the school board, and director of the First National bank of McAdoo.
 The verdict of voluntary man. slaughter automatically carries a possible sentence of not less than six years and not more than eight years.

 He would thresh out the ques- tion of who is to blame for the shattered romance under the stringent New York laws.
 we will take this case without alimony or counsel fees," Sheri- dan said.
 "Let us see who Is bluffing. We will show that the prime lover was guilty of misconduct and we will give dates and days In support of that evidence"
 The frenzied scene was precipi- tated when Justice Salvatore A.. Cotillo asked whether the Cali fornia action in which Mrs Vallee seeks more than $7,000 a month alimony would be dropped.
 Earlier Vallee's legal battery had succeeded in playing a record the crooner made of conversation between his wife and her father, Chief of Police c. E. Webb O! Santa Monica, Cal, just after Rudy had told Mrs Vallce of his sus- pioions concerning her.
 The effect of the record was duiied, however, when all the voices except that of Mrs Vallee proved unintelligible.

 Remington, N. J., Feb 7.-CUP) Henry Uhlig, who was Isidor Fisch's "best friend in America", to-day began a recital of the ac- tivities of Fisch which the defense hopes will clear Bruno Richard Hauptmann of the murder Of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.
 Uhlig was on the stand only q few minutes before the noon res cess. and had interrupted his story of trip to Germany he made with "poverty-stricken fur cutter"
 Fisch died in Leipzig, four months after he and Uhlig arrived in Germany.
 He testified, however, to various enterprises, including pie busi- ness, in which Fisch had a hand.
 Hauptmann. who insists Fisch left a shoe box with him contain- ing the ransom money found later in his garage, looks to Uhlig to prove his statement that Fisch had all the ransom money in 1882.
 The witness remarked that Fisch had a "very bad cough" In 1892. Dr John F. Condon (Jafsie) de- scribed the man who negotiated with him for the ransom as having a cough.
