tlnue to pour into the city treas ury.
 Bonded Indebtedness
 The report also shows an increase in the bonded indebtedness but this Is partially due to the sale of bonds used for the purpose of funding $339, 9,208.05 in school mortgages. It will be remembered that the inside district absorbed all the outside school districts during 1885 and assumed mortgages due on school buildings erected by the various school districts in recent years. However, the city, by retiring the mortgages through the use of bond money, will experience a great sav- ing in interest.
 Sold Some Bonds
 Furthermore, during 1885 the city, in order to cooperate with the fed- eral government in carrying out public works projects and thus keen men on relief work, sold $800,000 iri street and general improvmnt bonds. This money was used to buy ma terials for the various projects and $400 GOO of the total applies to 1884 financing, although the bonds were not sold until 1885.
 During the year of 1935 the city of Waterbury retired @066,50O in bonds.

 He became Waterpury's 24th mayor in 1894 when he was swept into office on the democratic ticket. He duplicated his feat two years later. He completed two consecu- tive terms as mayor on December 31st, 1897. Tn 1900 he again became mayor of Waterbury after Q sweeping victory at the polls and served two terms again, the first man to be chief executive of the city for four years. He was succeeded as head of the local government by ex-Mayor John P. Elton.
 Had Studied Law
 Aside from his political and busl- ness activities ex-Mayor KilduR found time to study law at inter- vals in the office of the old law firm of O'Neili & Webster. He nev- CT took the bar examinations, but was recognized as Q man with an acute legal mind. His legal training which he obtained for himself serv- ed him well while he was mayor of the city.
 He was far in advance of the times as mayor. His ideas were of decidedly new nature and were aimed at giving to the public It's rights in connection with public service company use of the high ways for tracks, wires and 50 forth. Tn his day the public service cor- porations controlled the govern ment, whether the man was re- publican or @ democrat, but the theories advanced by ex-Mayor Kil- duff served to start @ turn-about in such matters as far as the right of public ownership was concerned.
 Messages Were Gems
 The annual messages of ex-Mayor KildufY to his boards of aldermen were considered gems and many points brought out by him in these messages are still referred to from

 Fascist Italy ignored the day as holiday, there every one waited for the flash that Addis Ababa had been taken, in order to hold Q cele- bration that would pale all tho others.
 Spain was the chief potential trouble center. Workers celebrated May Day officially for the first time since the establishment Of the republic in 1881. There were joy- ous parades in celebration of the left wing victory in the recent par liamentary elections. Authorities were anxious lest there be clashes between workers and FascistS, or lest extremist workers rioted.

 Tn his brief today, Jackson said:
 MT Mellon made contribution to the cost of the government that protected his far flung industries that could not be criticized as osten- tatious."
 Series of Deals
 The brief outlined the series ot deals in securities among Mellon and Mellon owned or dominated corporations in the last days of 1881 the transfer and sale Of 123,o2S shares of common stock of the Pittsburgh Coal company and 54,- 900 shares of the common of Vest ern Public Service corporation, to the Union Trust company of Pitts. burgh, for which his tax return showed loss of $6,070,056; and the transfer of certain securities to the Ascalot company, which, with the Coalesced corporation, figured in other transactions, and is owned by his children, Mrs. Ailsa Bruce and Paul Mellon, for which his return showed @ loss of S446, 1908.
 The government also sought to establish that Mellon realized 8 tax able gain of $6,54o 900 in the liquida- ton of the McClintic- Marshall cor- poration and of $933, ,048 in the li- quidation of the Nnion Construction company.
 Transfer ConduIts
 The brief charged that the Asca- lot company and Coalesced corpora ton were conduits through which Mellon transferred millions in prop erty to his children without paying tax.
 Fraud is established in this rec ord" the brief stated. Fraud can not be seen, nor heard, nor detected by any sense. It is seldom capable of prof by direct evidence. It can be proved only by showing circum- stances in which human reason may discern the fraud.
 Paul Mellon found 1t expedient to be absent Ut all times during the trial (lengthy hearings that were held before the board of tax appeals in 1e35). Paul Mellon is 6 benefi. ciary of many of the transactions and could have thrown upon them the light of young, alert mind. Whether he was unwilling to initi- ate his business career by attempt- ing to make testimony which would fit with that which we have heard, or whether 1t was feared that he might on cross examination fail to sustain his fathers case, we do not know.
 Acts Oe Evasion
 "These acts of evasion are not the blundering of an uninformed or mis- informed man. Mir. Mellon'S high position in the taxing machinery of the United Staets forbids that as- sumption"
 Hogan, for Mellon, averred that the three stock transactions, which the government said were wash sales," were actually made, that they represented real losses, and that federal law expressly allows reduce tions.
 Upon these three transactions, his brief stated, land upon them alone, is the fraud charge based. To argue the utter lack of foundation for htat charge would be to elabor- ate the obvious"

time to time as masterpieces. While his name is but a memory to most of the present residents of the city he was highly respected by the older Waterburians. He was very reserv- ed type of man, recognized on all sides and by persons in every walk of life for his honesty.
 Tn 1894 former Mayor KilduH headed 8 local committee named to frame an amendment to the charter of the city of Waterbury to bring about 8 merging of the city, town and school governments. The pro- position was submitted to the state legislature ct that time but turned down. However, the work of eX- Mayor Kilduff's committee laid the groundwork for the Consolidation of tho local town and city govern mentS some years later when ap- proval was finally obtained from the legislature. This fact is a timely one to consider at this time as 1t was only last year that legislature empowered the city to wipe out the last existing school district in Wa terbury.
 The deceased was mayor of Wa terbury when the memorable trolley strike occurred in 1903. He was inc strumental to Q great degree in finally bringing the strike to close. That year of his term as chief executive of the city was most trying one.
 Funeral Tomorrow
 The funeral of ex-Mayor Kilduh will take place tomorrow morning from his home in Kew Gardens. It will be private with burial in New York. Members of the family were at the home of the deceased former city executive today.
 The deceased is survived by his widow, Mrs. Margaret Elizabeth Jones Kilduff; three sons, Dr. Gil- bert Kildun of this city, Professor F. J. Kilduff, assistant dean of New York University, and Fred w. Kill duff of New York, assistant presi- dent of the Remington Rand Com pany; one daughter, Mrs. Andrew o. Price of New York; one sister, Miss Jane KilduR of this city, at- tached to the assessors office; two brothers, Frank Kilduff of this city and George 0. KilduR of New York city; and one grand child, Barbara Kilduif of this city.
 Fraternally ex-Mayor Kilduf was associated for great many years with Sheridan Council, No. 24, Knights of Columbus. He served on the Board of Trustees for a number of years. He was prominently iden- tified with the pilgrimages made to this city by Brooklyn and New York Knights in the early years of this century, during the time he was mayor.

HITLER PRAISED
 REIGN OF PEACE
Continued from Page 1.)

"A few weks ago we made a great offer through which peace and se- curity might be achieved. Yet at this moment we see others conduct ing a campaign of islander. Hhey have put forth lies that we want to attack Austria or Czechoslovakia.
 Who Are DisturberS
 T ask, who those are who do not wish peace but wish constant dis- turbance?"
 We know the small band of in- ternational profiteers from the war. We knew them in Germany. They are always the same.
 T am so proud of being your leader. I could think of nothing which could compensate me for not being 8 German. I would rather be the smallest worm among you than no matter what else in another na- tion."
 Hitler's speech was preceded by ceremonies at the German Opera House, at which Dr. Paul Joseph Goebzels, minister of public enlight- enment, announced the annual awards for films and literature.
 Great CavaIcado
 Hitler, standing in an open auto- mobile, then headed 6 cavalcade to the Lustgarten along five-rnile route which the radio announcer ecstatically described as "the Fueh- rer's triumphal drive through the German springtime."
 It was estimated officially that g. 100000 persons lined the route and damned the Lustgarten, listening through loud speakers. Goebbels in- troduced Hitler with the words:
 "You have restored internal peace and we hope you may also guard the worlds universal peace"
 Armed Might of Russia
 Moscow, May l. (UP) -- Soviet Russia exhibited It's armed might today in parades and demonstrations in celebration of international la bor day.
 Hour upon hour, there poured through the great red square before the kremlin past the reviewing stand and Josef Stalin, the national leader, massed infantry, artillery, cavalry, armoured cars, tanks, while airplanes roared overhead.
 Behind them marched countless thousands of worxers, bearing pla- cards to tell Stalin of their hatred of fascist and their determination that their new Russia should lead the world in peace and, if necessary, defeat 1t in war.
 The demonstrations, here and elsewhere, were designed to show the international solidarity of the proletariat, the progress of socialist construction in Russia and the strength of It's defenders.
 Stalin was in front of Lenin's tomb, under the battlements of the old kremlin, to receive the salute of the parade here.
 The khaki clad troops poured through the square like living river, the forests of glinting gray bayonets, alternating with the massed tanks, motorized artillery batteries, anti-aircraft batteries and cavalry.

Spain In Ugly Mood

Madrid, May 1--(UP)--Spain cel- ebrated labor today under threat of strikes and fights between fasciStS and left wing workers.
 Mercantile shipping workers, sup- ported by dock workers, threatened to call a general strike because of & breakdown in negotiations re- garding wages and working hours.
 All over the country civil and storm guards were watchful for riots.
 Workers were JubIlant at the left wing victory in the recent election. But there was new bitterness be- cause of the allegation of a plot to assassinate Premser Manuel Azana, the prospective president.
 It was learned that several people of some prominence were arrested on the charge that they plotted to kill Azana at mass meeting last october. The plot was said to be Q fascist one. It was explained that no action was taken earlier because several police officials were impli- cated.
 Today was the first officially cei- ebrated May day since the establish- ment of the republic in 1881. Almost every normal activity was suspended for the day. Only the most essen tial services were maintained as workers took their holiday.
