ports. Authorities from the income tax bureau have been consistent visitors at the grand jury head quarters, and they also arc known to have been working in Water bury for a long period of time.
 At the hearings in connection with the grand jury's report, and the arraignment yesterday, they were present. At the beginning of the probe Collector Smith ad- mitted that his department was talk ing interest in the proceedings.
 Only Aid in Search
 It may be, however, that the fed eral authorities will only aid the AL corn men in the search, and inform them of any knowledge of the whereabouts of the missing man, which they might undercover.
 Borgnaes was last reported as re- cuperating from & serious illness in Manhattan hospital. This, in spite of claims by his wife that he sailed for Sweden more than a month ago. Reliable authorities said he was in hospital, but ap- parently he is not available for ser- vice of the warrant at the present time. He, too. is classified as a fug- tive.
 That Special Prosecutor Alcorn was confident he would be ap- prehended soon was seen in his re- marks as addressed to the court yes- terday at the mass arraignment.
 Borgnaes' bond has been set at $l0,000. Borgnaes was de- scribed in the jury's report as an auditor who was assigned person. ally to Mayor Hayes in 1884. It is alleged that he worked. not only on the city's books, but also on political endeavors.
 In commenting on the auditors actions the jury said, No qualified auditor, unless acting in collision with a corrupt city administration could possibly have overlooked such irregularities"

 AT CAMBRIDGE

Cambridge, Mass, May 25-(UP) -Chem!cal-fe flames destroyed a Boston & Maine Railroad warehouse and a four story adjoining building early today, threatened to ignite l5,000 gallons of turpentine stored nearby, and caused injuries to one fireman.

The fire was be- lieVed to have stared in the rear of the upper floor of the three-story warehouse. As the flames spread swiftly through chemical stores aid was called from Boston and Somer- vile. A dozen firemen were nearly trapped on the roof of an ell. They and a news photographer were res- cued over burning ladders. Ladder man John Bagley of Cambridge was hospitalized with scalp wound suf- fered when struck by falling beam. Railroad trafIic was tied up some two hours by hose lines laid across the tracks. Thick smoke spread through the district and flames at- tracted hundreds Of spectators. Ex- tra police were called to prevent footing of valuable taken from the warehouse.

That the judges will discuss the report has become defi- nitely known. The judges have the power of appointing and removing states attorneys.
 It was learned today that several strange men have been making in- quiries recently at local stores and offices which in past days might have been used as agencies for race horse bookies. policy writers, or treasury balance tickets. Whether this has any connection with the grand jury probe IS not known. De- tective Edward J. Hickey declined to discuss the situation when ques- toned about any knowledge he might have of the strangers.
 DaIy Sticks to Innocence
 Senator Daly, whose resignation is sought. because he allegedly re- ceived shares of stock in the Elec- tric Steam Sterilizing company after favorable legislation had been passed, reiterated his innocence to- day. He claims he never received the stock which the grand jury states was passed to him by Daniel J. Leary.
 Court action may be taken by Governor Cross to force the resigna- ton, but even then, Daly has mani- fcsted that he will fight.
 Governor Gross Is now in posses sion of resignations of Athletic Commissioner Joseph H. Lawlor and Statute Revision Commissioner John D. Thoms of Waterbury.

military or police plane, armed with a machine gun, flew over the towns of Gross- -Schoenau, Hermsdorf and Khngenthal, and that after circling klingenthal, flew back to Czecho- slovakia. Even before this allegation there had been plain portents of a new crisis as the newspapers, closely controlled by the government, re- opened attacks on Czechoslovakia. Diplomatists watched Eger, just across the frontier from Germany in fear of some incident that might cause an explosion. Funeral services were held there for two martyr" Sudcten Germans killed Saturday.
 Newspapers Keep It Up
 Newspaper comment was develop ing along lines like those which last weekend alarmed all Europe allegations that Czech soldiers fired at party of Sudeten German party officials at Ellbogen; that a Czech military plane flew over German territory near Annaberg Monday and took photographs; that Czech sol- diers were replacing customs offi- cers along the frontier and thereby "regreatably aggracating tension" along the frontier and therebymu along the frontier.
 It was apparent that the attitude toward both the Czechs and the efforts by Great Britain to mediate had stiffened. Brakes imposed on the newspapers after their attacks of the weekend - which first awoke European statesmen to the danger in the minority problem were loosed sufficiently to permit bitter allegations and angry comments.
 Britain Is Accused
 The Nazi party official newspaper organ, Noclkischer Beobachter, &C., cused Britain of trying to "falsify history. It accused Prime Min ister Neville Chamberlain with fail- ing, in a speech he made in the House of Commons Monday, to tell all the facts -- facts which, the news papers said, would have shown that not Germany but Czechosloyakia acted as q proyocateur and played with fire"
 "Britain's guilt, however" is even greater" continued the article. "The British government not only first, on Saturday, issued misleading statement that Konrad Henlein, mi nority leader, demanded guarantees; secondly trifled away valuable time by foolish and repeated queries in Berlin instead of energetically call ing Prague to order; and thirdly, paved the way for Justification of history by Chamberlain incomplete survey on Monday, but tourthly 9'H"h 'teo'f n international events by advising British residents of

 of the leaders in the fight to make the wage provisions more flexible in southern states. The House bill was guided to passage last night without major amendment by Chairman Norton, her labor committee and an unofficial steering committee of 50. An amendment, offered by Rep. Robert Crosser. D., to bring rail- road employees under the wage pro- visions of the bill, was adopted. The amendment, 1t was explained, would affect only maintenance workers other rail workers receive more than the minimum. Other amend ments adopted would exempt child movie stars from the child labor provisions and exempt weekly or semi-weekly newspapers with cir culation of 5000 and less.
 Tally On Final Vote
 The tally on the final vote for pas sage showed that 256 Democrats, 4s Republicans, seven progressivcs and five farmer -laborites voted for pas sage; 41 Republicans and 56 Demo- crats voted against 1t. AS passed the bill fixed a minimum wage in interstate industries, with certain exemptions, of g cents an hour for the first year, 30 cents the second. 35 cents the third and 40 cents for the fourth and succeeding years.
 A maximum work week of A hours would be provided for the first year. decreasing in two years to 40 hours. Administration would be lodged with the secretary of la bor, authorized to determine indus tries operating in interstate com merce or affecting such commerce.
 Labor Standard Bill
 Under labor standard bill passed by the Senate last year, for which the House substituted its measure, a board would be established to fix minimum wage and maximum hour standards after consideration of costs of living, relative cost of transportation and local economic conditions. The board would not be authorized to establish minimum wages in excess of 40 cents per hour or maximum hours of less than 40 hours per week, unless an advisory committee comprised of representatives of management and labor, made favorable recommen- dation for such action. Both bill con tain provisions designed to prohibit the manufacture of goods by child labor. To implement the wages and hours provisions, they also pro- hibit interstate shipment of goods manufactured under oppressive" labor conditions.
