Park City Has Most
 1884 Fatal Mishaps
New Haven Has Largest Number of Injuries Water
 bury and Vicinity Contributes Heavily to Total

with substantial accident totals. The towns on the routes from Bridgeport up through Waterbury to Bristol and from New Haven to Hartford also contribute heavily to the accident total. Curious facts are to be noted such as the town of Windham having 129 accidents and four fatals yet the towns sur- rounding report much smaller to- tals. Here the answer is the city of Willimantic towards which a great deal of traffic In that section gravitates thus increasing the Thread City's accident potentiali- ties. In a measure this holds true for Winchester in which is located the city of Winsted.

DEBT CLAIMANTS
 RECEIVE CHECKS
Restitution of Irish Free State Money Started;
 Good News Locally

Many Waterburians who have invested in the Irish Free State ..debt of honor" incurred in this country from 1919 to 1921 to fi- nance the struggle for Irish free- dom will be interested to learn that the first steps to make reeti- tution of the money were made yesterday.
 Although the debt was guaran- teed by no legal security, it is con- sidered by the Irish people as ar obligation of honor It is estimated that several thousand dollars will be repaid to local persons.
 In a simple ceremony In the of flee of Consul General Leo T. Me- Cauley, Michael MacWhite, Free State Minister to Washington, be- gan the disbursement yesterday by handing checks to bondholders heading the list of claimants. They were Frank Carvill of 1,724 Am ] sterdam Avenue and William Cur ran of 204 Voss avenue, Yonkers
 Each man held a $10 bond, for which he received check foI N$12.50, representing principal and Mterest. They said they had not expected repayment. The original cofAdition of repayment was that a Republic must be set up and all British troops must be removed from Irish soil.
 18,OOO Investors
 It was expected that within 6 week $372,000 will be paid out tc sabout 19,0OO. The bonds ranged ir price from $10 to $1O,000. More than 250,000 bought $10 bonds.
 Mir. MacWhite issued a state nnent which read in part as fol lows:
 "Ireland thus becomes the anon. ally among nations in redeeming g pledge guaranteed by no legal SC. curity, but considered by the Irisf people to be a debt of honor.
 s'In 1920 and 1921 there were two governments fighting for SUI premacy in Ireland. The British government was fighting desper. ately to retain its century-old griE on the country, while the repub- lican government, though function Ing underground, commanded the Allegiance of the people.
 The public revenues were ir the hands of the British govern n1ent and the Republican govern. 1faent was financed by the subscrip. lions of its adherents. Funds were badly needed to carry on the fight and an appeal was made to the people of America, descendants Of Irish immigrants of other days and to sympathizers with the Irish cause.
 "The response was magnificent. In a few months the sum of &C., OOO,OO0 was subscribed.

left to congress TO decide, for in
stance. whether the payroll tax to
finance unemployment insurance
viii be three or five percent, and
whether the fund will be financed
entirely by employers or partly by
employees.
Generally, IL Is understood or the
hill. the report Of the committee
on security which the president will
lay before congress, will point to-
ward a bill OF the kind introduced
last session by Senator Wagner
CD NY) and Representative Lewis
D-Md). on unemployment insur-
ance
Recommendations on old age
pensions were being even more
closely guarded. Speculation has
centered on monthly pensions OF
$40. but there has been no reliable
confirmation.
The report Was said, however. to
leave the door open to a system
under which the government would
pay either one-Ealf OF one-third OF
the old age pensions with the
states paying the balance. Esti-
mates Of the cost for the first year
vary from SIS, 100000 TO 500. 900. 900.
With additional proposals for
maternity aid, health insurance,
and annuity system for workers, the
program was said 70 involve a long
range plan which would not become
fully effective for a generation.
Out Of a White House conference
Friday, congressional leaders gain
ed these impressions:
That the unemployment insur-
ance system will cover only indus
trial workers oil the lower wage
classes and that agricultural work
erS. railroad empI3yeS, School-teach-
erS, domestic help, municipal en-
ployeS and higher paid workers viii
be excluded.
That employers Of 10 or less per-
sons will be excluded.
That the federal government
should be custodian for all funds,
with administration left to the
states.
Some conferees argued that en-
ployeS should contribute perhaps
one per cent OF their salaries to
unemployment insurance, but Sec
rotary Perkins. chairman OF the
security committee, opposed this.
The Wagner-Isewis bill provided
Tor a five per cent payroll tax from
which all contributions to q state
insurance fund could be deducted,

Tierney opened arguments fof

Cutten listened quietly. He rare

At one time in 1881, Tierney said
Cutten reported himself 60O,OOU
bushels long OH May wheat, where

administration showed him $780,
900 bushels short.
On June 81, 1880. Tierney con-

no reports were made to the ad-
