cled around me. It was evidently a grill room.
 T asked Casey if he were going to book me. I said I wanted to go back to Pershing Field and speak. He said there was mob outside the police station. I asked if he would let me speak to the mob. He said I couldn't speak at Pershing Field or any other place in Jersey City.
 Casey's Version
 "He was white as a sheet and trembling like a leaf when we got him to the station. He told me I want to thank you for saving my life. I thought had some friends here but when I arrived at the Square I found myself entirely alone and a crowd entirely against me-
 q asked him if he wanted to talk to newspapermen at the station, and he said he didn't. However, as soon as he leaves here he wastes no time in making statement that is not true"
 Later in the night, after the band had played the National Anthem and "Home Sweet Home," and the crowd had dispersed, Samuel Macri, assistant state regional director Of the CI.O. was found leaning against a wall in dazed condition. He had been propped there for an hour and a half when discovered by asso- ciates, it was reported. He was talk en to a physician by hts friends. There were no marks on him and he could not say what had hap pened to him. The physicians said he evidently had suffered shock.
 At Washington last night, Rep. Maury Maverick, D., Tex, liberal, said that If they can eXpel O'Con- nell they can deport President Roosevelt as we'll" He said that something will have to be done about this"
 The CI.O. and the American Civil Liberties Union have applied to fed eral coutr at Newark for an order restraining Jersey City officials from interfering with their rights, The case is set for hearing next Wednesday. Hague yesterday re- jected a proposed compromise, by which the plaintiffs would be per- mitted to hold indoor meetings and distribute handbills.
 T will not, under any circum- stances, enter into any compromise with these Red groups he said.

Far lev. chairman of the democratic na- tional committee of which Hague IS a vice chairman. Mrs. OConnells knees were bandaged.

 Legion Band Played
 The American Legion band was playing martial airs and the mil ling thousands were cheering and waving American flags, when O'Connell arrived, almost unnoticed
 Casey had 750 policemen sur rounding the field with orders to seize OConnell on sight. The bald ish congressman had left an auto- mobile four blocks away and walked onto the muddy field with his hat in his hand, accompanied by several officials of the c. I.

SCOVILL'S BREAKS
 5O-YEAR RECORD
Directors Fail to Declare Dividend for Current
 Quarterly Period

For the first time in 50 years the Scovill Mfg. Co., will pass payment of a quarterly dividend for the per- iod ending June 30, it became known yesterday. Reason was not discussed by company officials although it was remarked that the uncertainty of future business and the drain on surplus through dividend payments during the depression as well as the federal tax on undistributed profits might be factors.
 The continued payment of divi- dends, in some cases only 25 cents a share, since 1929 when, for the most part, the dividends were not earned and the company sometimes was op- erating at a loss, was made from surplus which otherwise would have been subject to similarly large de- mandS from the government tax schedule. The surplus has been de- pleted by six million ooilars and it is understood that the drain of tax ation and the depression payments of unearned dividends have com bined to cause officials to pass the current dividend.

(For Victoria Liebreich, World War NurscD Its roots lie deep in our loved earth; Its fair boughs hold the stars, The red of robin, white of dove And blucjay's sapphire bars Fairer than any dryad of old, In the heart of her memory tree, This valiant daughter of Christ will live, Through years that are to be. Her blue cape flies like azure wings; The chaste white coif on her head GlOwS with the Healer's Holy Seal His little Cross of red. Ever, she walks at NewingtOn, In lovely Nurses Row, With Veronica and Una fair, With the Nuns of long ago. Who staunched the wounds of Blue and Gray, With steadfast Clara, wise, With Florence and with Edith famed, From shining Paradise. These walk who chose The Headers Path, Who found, beyond our stars, The Blood Red Blooms of Christs Great Love. Through Five Sweet Scars
