Likewise, many farmers replanted
cotton because rains drowned out
their first efforts. The scond planting
is up to good stand, Blair added.
Much of the credit for the good
stands may be traced to the treatment
of the cotton seed with Ceresan, the
agronomist declared More farmers
than ever before have treated their
cotton seed this season.
Most tobacco which has been set
out is thriving, but the farmers chief
problem this year has been the secur-
ing of sufficient plants due to tho
ravages of blue mold
Small grains are unusually good, as
are vetch, red and crimson clover.

HOPE FOR LITTLE GIRL GIVEN UP

Whitinsville, Mass, May 5.-(UP) Hope for the recovery of two-year- old Winona Nelson of Upton, who was lost for 92 hours in rain-soaked woods last week, was virtually aban- doned today.
 Though the child, daughter of MT. and Mrs. George Nelson, took and retained considerable fluid nourish- ment yesterday, she gradually lost ground in her fight against pneu- monia in her left lung and gangrene in her frozen left foot.
 From Worcester came Dr. Carl A. Sparrow, child specialist. He and the physician in charge, Dr. John J. Bouvier, remained at the hospital much of then fight.
 Last night the Upton selectmen voted 2 to to give Deputy Sheriff Joseph H. Higgins of Barre the $500 reward for finding the child. Hig- gins has given his companion, Don- aid Bullard, 16, of Barre new suit, and has announcedf that he will give $50 to Winona's parents.

SAFETY DRIVES
 BEING LAUNCHED
Scores of City Fight to Cut Down Motor
 ..., Fatalities
BY GEORGE D. CRIsSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 St. Louis, May 5. - CUP) - Fear ing that more than 10000 persons may die in automobile accidents this year, scores of cities have launched safety campaigns, United Press survey disclosed today.
 In 1886 the toll was 36,575, an all time high, though only a few hun dred higher than the previous year.
 All reports indicated a yet higher toll this year. An example was a report from 126 cities to the acc.- dent prevention conference of Wash ington, D. O., showing that 3,004 died in those cities the first l6 weeks of 1927 as compared with 2,307 for the same period last year.
 Unless there is a sharp curtail- ment the total may exceed 10000 for this year, authorities feared.
 Methods of Stemming the death tide ranged from use of governors on government eco camp trucks to flying a black flag - as a symbol of an automobile fatality - from a centrally located flag pole in At lanta, Ga
 Most cities, however, concentrated on enforcement of traffic laws, with illegal parking and jaywalking re- ceiving more attention than in the past.
 A significant phase of the safety campaign, according to Labert St. Clair, director of the accident pre- vention conference, created by Pres ident Roosevelt, was that the rural record has grown worse.
 Speed ij the crux of the prob lem," St. Clair said. Automobile lights powerful enough to justify driving in excess of 50 miles per hour have yet to be devised. The trouble is that drivers are travelling from 10 to 30 miles per hour faster than their lights"
 St. Clair also urged governors for cars to limit their speed.

MILLWGRkER IS
 KILLED BY AXE
Mutilated Body Found in Rear of His Home Early
 Today

Pepperell, Mass, May 5-(UP)- With a 10-inch gash in his skull, the nude and mutilated body of Thaddeus J. Grautski, p, a mill- worker. was found by his mother in the rear of their home today.
 Under the outstretched body was an axe. Nearby law blood-stained hatchet. A trail of blood led to the Grautski barn, but 1t was evident police said, that the murderer had retraced his steps.
 State and local police investigat- ing the crime said the youth ap- parently was waylaid and struck from behind about 3 a. m. today as he was going to an out-building.
 A brother of the victim explained that Thaddeus had slept in the nude last night because of the heat.
 Investigators theorized that the murderer had yielded the hatchet after he was disarmed of the axe by the victim. After splitting the victim's skull, the murderer hacked the body.
 Mrs. Joseph Grautski made the gruesome find. She telephoned local police who, in turn, notified state authorities.
 Motive for the crime could not be determined. Meanwhile, Dr. Ed ward Lilly of Shirley withheld his findings pending an autopsy.

Anarchist Uprising Ter rOrizes Barcelona, Larg-

BY LOUIS WALTER United Press Staff Correspondent

NOMutCU 1EcSS OtHA OVEEcSpUNuGnGj
 Perpignan, France, May 5-Heavy casualties in an anarchist uprising in Barcelona against the mode moderate elements of the leftist government were reported today by an employe of the Spanish consul late at Toulouse, who arrived here by the first train to come through since the fighting.
 The death toll had not been defi- nitely fixed, he said, but was livery high"
 Barcelona radio stations were heard here appealing for doctors to hasten to hoSpitalswhere hun dreds" of wounded lay unattended. Appeals also were broadcast for vol- unteers to give blood transfusions.
 The Syndicalists are supporting the Catholonial government. They hold four portfolios in the cabinet. The anarchists are reported to con- trol 5000 well-armed men.
 A frontier report which must be accepted with reserve, was that 12,- 900 men of the Catalan army were to be withdrawn from the Zara- goza front to defend the govern ment against any extremist attack.
 Fighting between extremists and government supporters climaxed months of dissension and disorder.
 Another frontier report said that Juan Garcia Oliver, minister Of justice in the central loyalist gov- ernment at Valencia, had urged the anarchists to remain prudent and careful. He is Syndicalist. The syndicalist organization has some anarchist leaders, and his word carries great weight.

CITY WORKERS
 STILL ON STRIKE
Garbage Collectors Enter Second Day of
 Sit=DOWn

Bridgeport, May 5-(UP)-The second day of 8 city-wide "sit- down" strike of more than 60 city ash and garbage collection workers found them determined today to "stick it out" until their demands were met.
 The collection of ashes and gar- bage was at 8 complete standstill as the three-score workers remained bottled up in the municipal garage, refusing to permit the IA collection trucks to leave the place.
 Mayor Jasper McLevy, socialist, asked householders and merchants not to put their ash and garbage barrels on the street while the strike continued.
 His early-morning appeal to the strikers to leave the garage went unheeded. The "Sit-downers" de- manded adoption of their eight point program as well as re-instate- ment of a discharged worker.
 "I'll tell you frankly" McLevy warned the striking employees, If you men don't go back to work, there1l be some changes around here'.'
 The workers refused to start their collection rounds yesterday morning and insisted they would remain in the garage until their demands were met. Nearby restaurant owners, it was reported, were supplying them with food.
 "They're being fed perfectly" an onlooker said.
 "This ash and garbage collection is public service" McLevy told

SEWERS FOR 29
 SIS. PROPOSED
Special Meeting of Alder- men alled-Fairlawn
 Section to Benefit

A special meeting of the board of aldermen will probably be called next week to hear a petition by the board of works for permission to hold hearings for installation of sewers on 29 local streets. It will be one of the most ambitious sewer laying programs in the city's his- tory.
 The Fairlawn section will be one of those most benefited, with plans calling for 12 streets in that section to have sewers. The r other streets named by the board of works are located in Robinwood, Highlawn and Brightwood.
 In Fairlawn the sewers will not be available for use as soon as they are built. They will go into service, how ever, as soon as the huge new trunk sewer along the Mad River is in- stalled. The city has received per- mission to sell bonds to finance this trunk sewer project but the bonds have not yet been sold. The sani- tary sewers in Fairlawn will be laid, and will be all ready for con- nection with the trunk sewer line when 1t is completed.
 The streets on which the board of works proposes to lay sewers are as follows:

CIO Throws Support
 To MoDie Strikers
Steel, Automobile, Rubber Workers to Augment Picket Lines-S Strikers, Non=Striking Workmen
 Arrested After Raid; Six Beaten,; At Hospital
BY ALAN McELWAIN ', United Press Staff C0rrespondent)


 United Press Staff Correspondent) Hollywood, May 5.-(UP).-The committee for industrial organiza- tion threw its support behind the strike of motion picture technicians today and promised to send steel, automobile and rubber workers into the picket lines around 10 major studios immediately.
 John Brophy, CIO national direc- tor, offered the support in a tele- gram that was read at mass meet ing of 2,000 striking members of the Federation of Motion Picture Crafts. Union workers, no matter. what their affiliation, should support the studio strike," the message read.
 The strikers are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, the national rival of the CIO.
 The development came while striking technicians were harrassing the quarter billion dollar motion picture industry with belligerent picket lines and inter-union brawls. Both strikers and non-striking workmen were aroused after a raid on the headquarters of the Inter national Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees last night. Six men were carried to hospital badly beaten and several others were cut and bruised.
 Strike leaders have charged the alliance, to which cameramen and projectionists belong, with furnish ing strike-b breakers to the studios. The alliance also is an A. F. of L.. affiliate.
