 SERIOUSLY ILL

Boston, Sept. 3.-(UP)--An at tempt to save the life of a New York deep-sea diver, seriously ill with bends" was to be made today at Harvard Medical school in the only compression tank with the needed capacity on the Atlantic coast. The diver, 32-year-old Ed Barber, former coast guard, was unable to get the needed treatment when attacked for the third time by the dread disease while working in 187 feet of water at Hell Gate in the East river. New York doc- tors, unfamiliar with the ailment, telephone to Dr. Louis A. Shaw of Harvard Medical school for instructions. Treated only with oxygen Barber gathered sufticient strength for the trip to Boston.
 Barber, feet 3 Ia inches tall and weighing 227 pounds, explained the cause of his latest attack: T was working 187 feet down on a sunken barge. The tug Reliance, from which I worked, received a hurry call to proceed to Norfolk. and I was pulled up zee minutes instead of the | sour and a. half. At such c.. diver has to be pulled up slowly CT the quick drop in pressure causes the bends"

DIVORCE DEGREES
 UNDER SCRUTINY
No Anxiety Felt Here; Judge Claims Indirect
 Notice Not Enough

Judge John A. Cornelrs runng at Hartford that there is grave doubt of the legality of uncontested divorceS in which the defendant was notified of the suit by publi- cation in a newspaper when the writ in the suit directed service by a sheriff or constable will have little effect on Waterbury cases, it was stated today by Clerk George Free man of the superior court here. MT. Freeman says that the procedure has been followed here in every case.
 In his decision, Judge Cornell dismissed the divorce suit of Earl Amelia, of Hartford, against Mrs Jennie Alderman Amelia, of Asbury Park N. J. holding that publication of the notice of the suit III news paper did not constitute service" on the defendant since the writ called for actual service on the defendant. Notice Published
 The writ in the case directed the sheriff or his deputy or a con- stable to summon the defendant tc the superior court at Hartford. In- stead of the writ being served mo- tice of the suit was placed in g Hartford newspaper.
 Lawyers said today that the de- cision places iii doubt the legality of uncontested divorces granted ir the past in which the notice was published when the writ directed service on the defendant by an of- ficer. The practice is said. to have been in general use by lawyers all over the state.
 Judges Finding
 Judge Cornell finds "The pro- cess was never delivered to a sheriff or other proper officer or person for service. Instead, as the court un- derstands it, counsel for the plain- tiff applied to the office of the clerk of this court, for and received an order of notice which directed publication of the institution ard pendency of the complaint, in g Hartford paper. That such publica- tion was made appears from an af- fidavit of the assistant secretary oi the corporation which publishes tht papers. This was followed by a sec. ond order of notice by like publi. cation which was complied with. The defendant has never appeared either personally or by counsel"
 Having elected to resort to ser. vice of the process here by direct ing it to an officer, such direction cannoted delivery of it to him tc enable him to carry it out" said the court. Since the process never came into the hands of such ar officer there was and could be nc service in the manner directed by the writ. If this were only devia- tion from the procedure pointed out by the statute, the action might be held merely subject to abatement The court said if his reasoning is sound, there is no action pending and the cause must be and k ordered stricken from the docket.

"SlOw down as the sun gees down." Is the advice given to- day in a report of the safety education section of the de- pertinent of motor vehicles. Dealing with fatal accidents for the year 1895 the report states:
 "Of the 452 operators involved (COnnectlcut rcsidents) 2S3 were away from their usual surroundings when they had their fatal accidents and BOA of these accidents occurred after dark. This brings more clearly to mind that as the sun goes down we should slow down, particularly when in strange localities"

 IS HUGE SUCCESS

Vigilance of the motor patrol un- der the direction of Captain William Duggan has reduced to a gratifying

 Will Have Power
 The delegates to the state con- Vention from here and elsewhere in Connecticut will elect delegates to the national convention. The 16 Connecticut national delegates will have the power of picking the national committeeman and con- mittee woman from this state to serve for the coming four years.
 The delegates to the state con- vention will indirectly control the picking of the national committee members. They will sound out the sentiment of those seeking places on the national delegation and will elect Connecticuts representatives to the session in Philadelphia ac- cordingly.
 Waterbury will have 36 delegates at the state convention. At Mon- day nights city convention Mayor Frank Hayes, another "old guard" leader, will be named to head the local delegates. The state conven- tion takes place May 15 and 16th in New Haven.

President To Open
 Campaign Tonight
Continued from Page D

after the June 9th Cleveland na- tional convention.
 The battle-ground for delegates to the national conventions shifts to Maryland next week. The republts can delegation to be named in the May primary will go uninstructed, but expected to support Gov. Harry Nice as a "favorite son" candidate.
 Breckenridge There
 President Roosevelt will meet his first direct opposition for the nom- nation in Henry Breckenridge of New York, who plans an intensive speaking tour in Maryland next week. Politicians are watching that primary closely for indication of the presidents popularity among eastern democrats.
 Next week the republicans will light it out in the Ohio May 12 primary, with Sen. William E. Borah, and Frank Knox, Chicago publisher as principal contestants for the states delegation to the Cleveland convention.
 In Massachusetts Tuesday, demo- crats elect 38 delegates and repub- hcanS B to their conventions, con- cluding comparatively lethargic campaign.
 May Attack Foes
 Democratic leaders expect, Presi- dent Roosevelt's speech tonight to make much stronger attack on New Deal foes than did his Balti1 more speech two weeks ago. In that he appealed for support of the youth of the nation.
 A strong New York addess, it was argued, would go far toward as- suaging disappointment in some quarters over his Baltimore speech. MT. Roosevelt is expected to call for party unity in the forthcoming campaigns.
 This plea, it was pointed out, will be in direct answer to Smiths in- vitation to anti-New Deal demo- crats to walk out" in the admins tration at the Nov. 3 election.
 Gigantic Rally Planned
 Democratic leaders of New York, state listed in the doubtful col unn, plans a gigantic rally. Lead CTS of Tammany Hall, Brooklyn and the Bronx will be there to mingle with upstate party lieuten- ants.
 The president will leave Wash ington this afternoon and will be guest of honor at a Hotel Commo- dore dinner preceding the address. He will spend the night at his East 65th street home and motor to Hyde Park Sunday. He expects to return to Washington either Tuesday or Wednesday.
 Unless urgent business keeps him in Washington, MT. Roosevelt plans campaign swing into the south- west late this month, with speeches in Texas, Arkansas and Indiana. He may visit Canada later in the summer.
 Campaign plans are being held in abeyance pending clarification of the congressional situation which includes battles over the budget tax and relief appropriation bills.
 Leaders had hoped to adjourn the first week in June, but now say Congress may continue through the Cleveland convention and close about June 15.

(Continued from Page 1.) the result of the runaway dash of the truck down the mountain. A jury in common pleas court award ed $4,000 to Mrs Ralph B. Story, an occupant of the house which was driven from its foundations when hit by the truck, and several other suits have been settled out of court.
 After hitting the Story house, the truck dug its nose into the earth and overturned, catching fire. Its load was hurled for many feet through the air. Lemieux' body was buried in the wreckage of the cab of the truck.
 On Way To Boston
 The truck driven by Lemieux was one of convoy that left this city for Boston on the night of April 24, 1885. The truck strike was then in progress and the trucks were es- corted by Waterbury policemen to the top of Southington mountain. There Southington police took over the escort duties. Half way down the mountain, Lemieux' truck sud- denly darted ahead, and roared down the steep grade at terrific speed. Veering to the left at the bottom of the grade, it went through the heavy cable fence, roared across lawn, and glanced off the Story homestead, throwing the houses residents from their bed. A few feet further on, the truck somer- saulted and burst into flames.
 What Writ Alleges
 The writ drawn by Attorney Blansfield charges that the truck carried load of 27,OOO pounds though it was supposed to carry only 18,000. Its brakes were in poor condition, it is charged, and when the heavy vehicle went out of con- trol 1t raced down the mountain at a speed of 120 miles an hour.
 The action is in unusual one, in that Attorney Blansfield claims that Lemieux' estate is entitled to dam ages, in addition to the compensa- tion already received. The com- pensation, he argues, was for Le- mieuX's death in the ordinary course of his employment, and dam ages can be had for his death as the result of hazards beyond those which he met in the ordinary cause of his work.
