BABlN DUE TO O.........
 RECEIVE RAISE
Increased Business in Lo= cal P. 0. Automatically
 Means Higher Salary

Postmaster Charles A. Babin IS assured of raise in salary for the next federal fiscal year. However, the increase will not go into effect until 1888. Increased business is the reason. Postmasters' salaries are based upon the amount of business clearing through their respective districts. The Waterbury district has shown jump from $450,00O 10 $50O,O00 for the last fiscal period This means that Postmaster Babln $ salary will be jumped from $4,5OO a year to 5000 annually.
 Figures released today showed that business in the local post oftice for the month of April, just ended amounted to $53, 3,120.44. This was an increase of $10,070.17 over the figure for April of 1886. The figure for the month of April last year was $lO,- O70.17.
 In other words, last months fig ure was 23.2 per cent greater than that of April of last year. However, the April, 1887, figure was slightly less than the total for March. of this year. The March, 1887, figure was $54,697.48.
 However. in considering these two figures, those of March and April of 1887, 1t must be remembered that the March total this year was the second largest in the post office his- tory of the city of Waterbury.

 Among P State Prison ln- mates Appearing Before Board Today

One Waterburian, Michael Saler- no, was among the 9 inmates ot the states prison at Wethersfield who today appeared before the state board of pardons to plead for communication of sentence. Deci- Sions of the board are not expected to be announced until late today.
 Louis N. Leopold, who has been before the board upon several oc- casions, and who at present has ap- pealed his case to the supreme court of errors of this state, will not appear today before the board of pardons.
 It was not definitely known as to whether or not the case of Ameri- go Distefano, also of this city, would be considered. Salerno. Di- Stefano, and a New Haven inmate by name of Bittari, will all be rep- resented by Attorney Edward Mas colo of this city. Assistant States Attorney Edward Mascolo of this city. Assistant States Attorney William B. FitzGerald, of this city appeared for the states side of the cases.

JUVENILE ] I: COURT
 BILL DOOMED
Cost of Establishment Is Main Argument; Water
 bury in Largest Zone

Passage of the measure estab- fishing juvenile district courts, now pending before the 1887 legislature, appears remote according to re- liable information obtained. The added cost of such courts is the argument being used by those op- posing the idea. At the present time the bill, which was heard almost month ago before the judiciary committee, is in the hands of a special subcommittee of that same group. Juvenile officials and social workers are anxiously awaiting re- port but certain members of the judiciary committee are under stood to be opposed to the bill on the grounds of economy.
 Waterbury would be included in one of the most far-reaching dis tricts under the new system. The district including this city would reach to the New York state line. Towns in New Haven county in the local district would include Water bury, Prospect, Southbury, Oxford, Naugatuck, Wolcott, Middlebury, and Beacon Falls. Towns in Fair field county in the same district would be Sherman, Brookfield, New Fairfield, Bethel, Munroe, Danbury, and Newtown.
 Furthermore, several towns .n Litchfield county would be included in the same district. They are New Milford, Bethlehem, Plymouth, Washington, Watertown, Bridge, water, Woodbury, Morris, Thomas ton and Roxbury.
 A substitute bill calling for a slight encouragement of the various juvenile courts districts IS also under consideration. Nevertheless, it is claimed that the added expense of extra judges, clerks and so-forth Is not advisable at this time. The juvenile courts, under the bill, would be wholly separate and dis tinct from all other courts. At the present time the judges of the local city court handle juvenile cases. It would be necessary under bill, also, to keep separate records. One fea- ture of the bill would provide that these records would not be open to public inspection except upon court order.
 The bill provides for a judge i'll in each of the seven juvenile dis trict courts in Connecticut. The salary of the judges of the various districts courts is different. The salary of the judge governing the Waterbury district would be $4,0O0 a year. The bill also provides for an associate judge at $l5 a day. The probation officers would be picked by all the districts juvenile judges sitting in council.

5- Year Old Nancy Goodwin Is Dead
Rcocheting Bullet Struck Her in Head l3 Days Ago; Streptococcus Infection Set in, Causing Death
 of Youngster at Hospital Yesterday
By JACK AMMAN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Hartford, Conn.,, May 3.--tUP)- Many stories were written about the gallant fight for life which hve-year old Nancy Goodwin, golden haired and blue-eyed, made after she was shot in the head by a stray bullet.
 Today, the last words of tine tear full story which excited the sym- pathy of all of Hartford were told. ' The little girl was dead.
 It was just l3 days ago that Nancy and her sister, Barbara, 9, went into the woods near their West Hartford home to pick some wild flowers for mother.
 They frolicked in. the grass and among the trees, seeking flowers which were scarce because spring was not yet very old. Suddenly, a shot rang out, breaking the stiffness of the afternoon.
 Nancy screamed, fell to the ground. Her head was soon covered with blood and Barbara was so frightened she froze in her tracks. Two boys one of them carrying an air rife = ran up to where Nancy lay. They took. one loo kand then they fled. '.
 Next day, police arrested Arthur O'Neill, 16-the boy with the rifle, they said-and charged him with violating town ordinance which prohibits the discharge of firearms within the town limits.
 Today, when police learned Nancy was dead, they re-arreSted Arthur on a charge of mansluaghter.
 Meantime, Nancy was taken home by persons attracted by. the eommo- ton. Her injuries were believed slight. It was said the thick hat she was wearing stopped the force of the bullet and saved her life.
 But few days later fever de- veloped. They rushed the child to Hartford hospital, where a diagnosis revealed she was suffering from meningitis caused by streptococcus infection.
 Then, for nine days, Nancy fought the deadly infection. Most of the time she was unconscious. The call went out for blood for transfusions. Most of the West Hartford police department responded.
 Oxygen was administered, then artificial respiration. Slowly--as hundreds of calls poured into the hospital and newspaper of- flces-Nancy's life ebbed away.
 Sunday morning, when ordinarily she might have been going to church, the little girl died.
 The youth charged with shooting her, police said, claimed the bullet ricocheted from a rock. He said he was shooting at inanimate objects in pond.
 Police examined the bullet.
 True, they said, its nose was flat tened.

3 PLEAD GUILTY IN kIDNAP CASE Ellis Parker, Son Now Only Defendants in
 Wendell Case

Newark, N. J., May 3-(UP)-- Three men pleaded guilty today to charges of participation in the kid- naping of Paul H. Wendell, Trenton attorney, whose confession" to the Lindbergh baby Kidnapping delayed the execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for three days. | They are Martin Schlossman, Harry Weiss and Murray Bleefeld. on trial with Ellis H. Parker, New Jersey county detective, and his son, Ellis, Jr.
 The. move left only the Parkers defendants to the charges they kid naped Wendell and forced from him confession of the Lindbergh crime. The federal government charged they transported Wendell from New York to New Jersey in violation of the Lindbergh Kidnapping act.
 James Mercer Davis, counsel for the detective and his son, moved for a mistrial and withdrawal of the jury, but Federal Judge Will liam Clark denied the motion.
 The guilty pleas were entered by

Warn,est Day For
 Waterbury to Date

Indications early this after noon were that today would be the warmest day of the year, so far. At 7:3O o'clock this morning the temperature was down to around the 5O-degree mark. At noon the mercury read 71 degrees above zero and was still rising. Saturday was a warm day, the mercury hit ting the 75-degree above mark but it was possible that before the close of the afternoon this figure might be beaten.
 Southern New England weather officials were looking to record breaking weather re- ports today. From Boston came the report that the tempera- ture had risen to 70 at 10:30 o. clock this morning indicating that this would be the warm est day of the year to date.
 The highest temperature set in the Boston area for this date was 7l on April l4sh. The record high for this date in this section was approximate ly 85 degrees above zero in 1878. Waterburians are not ex- pecting to see 85 above reached today but are expecting to sec 3 record d-breaking registration of heat so far this year.

53-.DAY FAST
 FINALLY ENDS
Man Doctors Said Would Die Eats Squirrel Broth,
 Beef Tea as Reviver

Stopping Oak, Tenn. May-3CUP) Jackson Whitlow, his 53-day fast broken by a "call from God" ate squirrel broth and drank beef tea today and physicians said he would recover.
 Whitlow said he. hoped to regain his strength within a few weeks and begin to carry out "the Lords work"
 Doctors watched his condition closely to determine whether food he had eaten would have any unfav- orable effects on his weakened Sys- tenn. They thought for 8 time that his body was to weak to assimilate food after his long fast. His weight had dropped from around 1855 to 97 pounds and he was so weak he could scarcely move.
 Hundreds of Cumberland noun taineers, awed by stores of his fight with the devil," came to his cabin Sunday but Thomas Whitlow, the zealot's aged father. barred the road and told them that Jack sons still too weak to see anyone
 Whitlow broke his Seven-weekS fast Saturday when he said God told him he was purified.
 God told me to fast last March 10 to test me-" Whitlow said. T met the test and whipped the devil when he tried to tempt me, and now I know he will reveal his mission Soon."
 The emaciated mountaineer's fame as a healer and new divine person" spread largely because of reports that his praying had healed Evelyn Suggs.
 Mrs. Florence Whitlow, wife of the faster, said Evelyn had been a crip- pie for four years but was healed when she came to the cabin land put her faith in God like Jackson told her to-"
 q guess Jackson may do some more miracles now that Evelyn has been cured. Lots of folks will be wanting him to pray for them. I guess Jackson is ready for the great works which the Lord said he would give him to do."

 London, May 3.-(UP)- Mrs. Wallis Warf1eld Simp- son received a decree absolute of divorce today and was free to marry the Duke of Wind sor, who gave up his throne for her.
 The Duke, Edward VIII of England-Was expected to join Mrs. Simpson tomorrow at the Chateau De Cande, at Monts, France. Their wedding was set ten tatively for the week beginning May 24 in the great library of the Chateau.
 It took 25 seconds to put through the decree which brought to its climactic stage the romance of the century between the king who abdi- cated his throne for love and his American born sweetheart, who has been twice married.
 An hour after the hearing, Syd- ney Barron, clerk of Mrs. Simpsons solicitors, Theodore Goddard and Co.,, left Somerset House near the law courts with the official copy ot Mrs. Simpsons decree, sealed and signed by H. D. Dec. Pereira, the registrar.
 The solicitors telegraphed the news to Mrs. Simpson and arranged to air mail the official copy to her.
 In glaring contrast to their con- seryatism last October when Mrs.

Mouie Strike Spreads;
 Warming GiuenP Players
$500 Actors, Actresses Attend Guild Meeting Last Nght-A. F. of L. to Be Urged By Movie Techni=

BY ALAN McELWAIN

United Press Stan correspondent
 Hollywood, May 3-Movie stars passed through picket lines to reach their jobs today as strike spread among technicianS who design the scenes and costumes, apply makeup and handle the machinery and food for the major studios.
 Strikers warned that they could mot guarantee protection" to &C., tors who went through the bucket lines.
 Actors did not take the threat seriously. Their Screen Actors guild is considering strike action too, and such a development would clinch the technicians' attempt to paralyze the industry. The actors guild is friendly with the striking unions.
 The warning was delivered to a guild mass meeting last night where $500 actors decided to withhould their strike action at least a week Charles LeSsinng, representative ot the 6O0O striking craftsmen, told the guild meeting that actors who tried to pass the studio gates would be treated like painters or any oth- CT workers who ignored the strike.
 Leasing aimed his remarks at contract players, the higher salaried stars such as Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich and Bing Crosby, who rode through picket lines Saturday in their limousines.
 Leasing was bitterly disappointed at the actors failure to decide last night to respect picket lines. He also said he would demand that the American Federation of Labor, with which the strikers unions claim affiliation, declare a boycott Of the movies.
 T will demand that the A.F. of L. urge all its members and their fam lilies to stay away from the thea terS," he said.
 The effectiveness of the technic- ians strike will not be evident until the studios open today, the first full working day since it was called Friday night. It was not believed that production would be stopped on (Continued on Page 4

ELEVEN INJURED
 IN CAR CRASH

Boston, May 3.-(UP).-Eleven metropolitan Boston residents to- day nursed minor injuries following a rear-end collision between two trolley cars i'll the Fremont street subway last night. Forty-five other passengers were shaken.
 Several persons were trampled as panic stricken passengers m the two cars rushed for exits. A cry of fire prompted by appearance of wisps of smoke served only to increase con- fusion.
 The collision occurred when a Beacon street car rounded curve and crashed into darkened Lake street car, temporarily disabled when its trolley swung from the overhead wire.
 Garfield Perkins, operator Of the second car, applied brakes too late to avert collision. Showered by glass, he suffered wrist and hand Ilacerations.
