SUI PREME COURT | RULING STUDIED
legal Opinion May Sound \ Knell of Hopes of Gro.
 nOke District

Park road and OfOnoke school district residents who opposed the action taken by the local board ol education about two months ago in connection with raging one build- ing and discontlnuing four grades xn another, saw one of their hopes fade yesterday when the state sue pTeme court of errors ruled that there is no Connecticut law by which voters of any town can re- establish Q school dlstrist. The de- ciglon was handed down in the cs.se of Michael Connor, motor ve- hieie commissioner, and lo other persons against Mayor Thomas A. 9pellacy and the city of Hartford.
 The voters claim was that they had . right to vote upon the ques- ton of reestablishing school districts in the city as they existed prior to q consolidation in June, 1884. The case is somewhat similar to the situ- atlon which prevails here II Water bury, where the residents oI the two local districts want to maintain their schools, against the ruling of the local board of education that one be razed and a room closed permanently in the other.
 The interest in yesterdays case was keen among the Park road and O.onoke residents, for 1t was ex- peeted that if all other means failed they would probably have set about Co effect the reestabliShment of the two school districts.

Home Is a dangerous place, it Is revealed in statistics on accidental deaths in Connecticut last year, discussed by William C. WcIIlng director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the State Depart nent of Health, in an article ap- bearing ln the departments cur- rent monthly bulletin. Of 1,2S5 accidental deaths, 7.2 percent of the total mortality, in the State last year, home accidents ace counted for 2z0 percent, falls be- ing the chief contributing factor.
 Deaths due tO occupation make up only 4.4 percent of the total deaths, Mir. Welling explained, while motor vehicle crashes cOn- tribute 30.2 percent of all the deaths, and accidents in public places (Other than motor vehicle mlshaps) are responsible for the balance of 28.S percent.
 Analysing the various classes, of all accidents which occur in the home, falls account for 67 percent or twO-thirdS. COnflagratlOn, burns and explosions contribute about IS percent of all the acci- dental deaths occurring in the home.

 Accidental deaths which Oc. cured in public places gave 36s such deaths. Accidental dr0wn- ing contributed the largest mum. ber, but the mortality Is not so concentrated ln this classIfIcatlO as It is in accidents in the home, with falls leading, or in motor vehicle accidents, with more than half of all such accidents, result. ing in the death of . pedestrian, Mir. Yelling declared.
 Annually the list of accidental deaths will include some familiar causes. In 1035, no less than i've persons met death from accident by smoking In bed. 4 CelluIOld hair comb caught fire from a birthday cake candle and the burns were of such severity that death resulted. Playing with matches took It's toll, and kerosene tO start fires started several on the way Co death. Gasoline stoves spread death by carbon monOxide poisoning. Overdose of drugs and their acci- dental consumption accounted for several deaths.
 Many deaths resulted from slight accidents - . mere silver in the hand resulting In infection. But when wood alcohol entered the lists in . drinking bout there was no slight chance that the poison, even # accidentally consumed, would be champion.

GOOD PRESS AGENT
HELD c. 0. P. NEED
Will Irwin Holds Charles
Nicholson Up as Model
for Position.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 24.-Will
Irwin, distinguished International
journalist. suggested to the Republic
can party yesterday that it forget
temporarily its search for presiden-
tial candidate and concentrate on
finding good press agent.
II think the press agent would
probably be more important in the
coming campaign" he said. 1--WE are
subject in this country to the most
astonishing reversals of public opin-
ion and we may now be on the verge
of a great landslide against the New
Deal. If we are, any candidate can
beat Roosevelt, and if we aren't no
one can beat him."
Irwin, chief of the United States
foreign propaganda staff during the
World War and personal friend of
Herbert Hoover, said he didn't think
he had enough inventive genius" for
the job.
He did suggest model, however. He
praised the work of Charles Michel
son. the Democratic partys publicity
chief, and said he thought the Repub-
licans would do well to follow his ex-
ample.
Nicholson had enough sense to
personalize the economic collapse"
Irwin said. "He (Michelson) labeled
it the Hoover slump and blamed not
the Republican party for the depres-
sion, but the Hoover administration "
Irwin said. however, that he thought
the United States had the only free
press in the world today.
1T is reasonably free In Great
Britain, but the press there is har-
messed by the severe law of libel and
by their contempt OF court law, which
differs from ours.
"In France the press is still sub
sidized by political and industrial in
terests. But In this country the ad-
vertiser, who Is often condemned for
bossing the news, actually has made
our press free. He has enabled our
publishers to make an honest paper
pay"
Irwin also paid tribute to the Ameri-
can reporters. I'm other countries,
the reporters are really doctrinaires.
They write definitely from the slant
OF their particular party. But in gen.
eral our breed is trained to get the
facts. and they get them regardless of
press agents who sometimes hinder
ana in spite of the censorship abroad.
Il don't believe any piece OF news
vital to the public can be suppressed
for long in this country"
