 DIES SUDDENLY

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-18

(Continued from Page D they resulted only in a temporary solution of the dispute over the pro posal for a united Ireland.
 The news that Prime Minister Ramon De Valera opened the dis cussions by demanding considera- tion of the unification plan was no surprise. The impression here was that if the problem were not taken up no real progress toward permanent settlement of that issue and others could be made.
 It generally was felt that if the negotiations continued for a few days some solution of the issue might be found. Even temporary agreement would represent an ad- vance from the present position, it was said.
 Sean O'Grady, parliamentary un- dersecretary and minister of lands, told an audience at a Fianna Fail meeting at Ennis that if the aspira- tions of the Irish people were satis- fled it would facilitate an agree ment between Ireland and the United States.
 Britain lost prestige as a result of Japan's undeclared war on China and Italy's conquest of Ethiopia, O'Grady said.
 "The only way Britain can re- gain the lost prestige" he added, is by some alliance with the United States which is scarcely possible while the Irish race at home in the United States and elsewhere in the world are antagoniZed by the British attitude toward the mother land"
 Belfast Sees No Unity
 Belfast, Northern Ireland, Jan. 18. -(UP)-Sir Basil Brook, Listers minister of agriculture, said today he was confident that 8 proposal for unification of northern and southern Ireland into an All-Ireland State, as proposed in Anglo-1rish talks in Londno, would fail.
 "We have received definite assur- ances from the British government of the safety of our position" he said, land we have no reason to believe that she will let us down. l think everything is all right for ! Ulster"

Mayor Promises Appointment
 OF Merit System Committee
Cites Reduction in Crime Wave, Fire Loss in Re-
 viewing Achievements

lieve that such positions should be obtained and held solely upon the basis of merit. For that reason, l stated some months ago that I was in accord with the principles of & merit system for city em- ployes, but could not concur in the details of the plan proposed by some of our citizens at that time.
 As authorized by your honorable board, I have appointed a non- partisan committee to study this important problem and to submit their recommendations to you at a later date. This committee will begin their work within short time. Pending the final approval of their plan, which will necessar- fly take some time, I hope that a temporary system may be de- vised whereby I may appoint @ personal director with sufficient authority to make and enforce regulations conducive to the more efficient operation of all city de- partments. It is my intention to appoint such an officer as soon as this committee can formulate some plan which will vest the per- sonnel director with the necessary authority. I will ask your CO., operation in the passage of such legislation.
 There are many other depart ments which have rendered great service to the city, but time and space do not permit me to dis cuss their activities at length. Again I commend to you the re- ports of these departments for your more complete information.
 As we enter upon another year. may I express the hope that we may work togteher for the com- mon good, and I take this occa- sion to wish to all of you the best of health and fortune for the coming year.
 Respectfully submitted, FRANK HAYES,
 Mayor.

copies be mailed to all of the alder men.
 This was the motion passed, al- though Alderman Kelly was inclined to insist that the members take the several hours necessary to hear the reports and, in the presence of the Republican audience, spend the time hearing what the city departments had done during the year.
 It was during this discussion that William B. Pape, of the Republican American, arrived Soon, thereafter, Alderman Kingston presented a motion to appoint John Purdy spe- cial constable in behalf of the Brass Workers union and this was voted.
 Alderman Kelly reminded the board that the terms of such ap- pointmentS run only two years and the appointment was amended to rea1 thus, with warnings to be sent to other special constables that their terms of office were finished, as of the 2-year period.
 Committees Named
 The communication from the board of finance was acted upon as re- lated to appropria tion for the audit by the mayors office and President Perriello named his committees as follows: AbatementS, Burton H. Walker, Fenton F. Niver, Charles Sciullo; rules, Thomas F. Bane, Jos eph Reiner, Peter Griffin; law, Will liam Kolbeck, Francis x. Bergen and Walker: charter amendments, George Kingston, c. Arthur Dubois and Edward Fitzgerald; chicken, Kingston and Ernes Belval.
 An offer of $500 for lot II on plan of Overlook on Pennington avenue, formerly owned by Henry Johnson, was received from Joseph P. Hosey and referred to 6 committee consist ing of Aldermen Walker, Niver and Sciullo. Another offer of $100 for a lot on the south side of Smith ave- nue, formerly owned by Louis Freed man, received from Margaret Grif fin, was referred to the same com mittee. A complaint from Judd & Puffer, insurers of property owned by the city at i6 and Is Lafayette street, that repairs had not been made as ordered by them, was re- ferred to the same committee.
 On motion of Alderman Kelly the committee on rules was directed to draft rules for the conduct of the board and submit them at the next meeting. A proposed new ordinance on awnings was referred to com mittee consisting of Aldermen King ston, Dubois and Kelly and the cor poration counsel.

Members Acted Upon
 Mayor Hayes 'Aduice
Continued from Page D

Then the controller took up the matter of petty cash for the several departments where this is required. He wanted to know what the board would do in the matter of empow- ering him to turn over small sums for these accounts. It was explain ed to him that these sums did not require appropriations as such were provided in the budget and that 1t merely was a matter of transfer of these small sums to be used as change for minor city departmental transactions.
 A half-hour of discussion was de- voted to this outline of city affairs with MT. Armstrong explaining to the board what the controller in- tended by raising the question of petty cash items. Simply asking the board" the controller comment ed.
 Helps Controller
 Commissioners Judge, Olsen and Jackson, the former two Republi- cans, helped the controller to un- derstanding of the mateer with Mayor Hayes explaining other de- tails regarding the petty cash uses for freight payments and the like. The controller then presented bills payable and signed them, thereafter the board moving to have the mayor draft the requisite set of rules for the controllers office, as Controller Rowland asked.
 Regarding the motion of Commis- sioner Dalton, following the lines of Commissioner Dalton, following the lines of Commissioner Tripp's demand in the matter of the board considering all audit items and the material of the controllers office before "it is released to the news papers," the controller had comment. Commissioner Dalton had seconded the suggestion of Commissioner Tripp, saying:
 Publicity School End
 Something should be done about all this publicity in the papers un- til this audit is complete"
 He then put it into the form of motion after the mayor has said that it was his understanding that this aspect of the matter was in the hands of the states attorneys office. The controller was asked his opinion.
 Only that, as the mayor says, it is really a matter of the states attorney'S office, If the states at torney so instructs but these are public records it appears that the motion is irrelevant the commission sees that this is a matter for the states attorneys office
 The meeting was adjourned, on the note of protest.

FATHER, SON DIE

Sacred heart of Jesus implore that may love thee more and more" he murmured as the current silenced him forever. A blue wisp of smoke curled from the brine-soaked sponge in the head gear. Ironically, sign on the wall read "No Smoking. At 12:04 a. m. -four minutes, 35 seconds after he entered the execution chamber-he was pronounced dead by four phy- SicianS.
 StOlid Father Follows
 Less than three minutes later he was followed by his stolid, husky father Frank, 55, Revere candy maker. Even as the black death mask was clamped over his face, he repeated in clear firm voice the prayers of Prison Chaplain Rev. Ralph W. Farrell. His last words were Have mercy on me-" He died in minutes, 57 seconds.

current applied by the bony fingers of gaunt, gray-haired executioner Robert Elliott.
 In 12 minutes, 15 seconds, the state had expiated the staying at Hudson in May, 1885, of Daniel M. Crowley, Boston freight handler. The elder DiStasio died as the ac- tual slayer; the son as an accessory before the fact.
 What State COntended
 The state had contended the father lured Crowley into his auto mobile on Boston Common, drove to Hudson with Anthony following in another car, and there slugged Crowley on the head with length of iron pipe before firing the gas oline-saturated car and victim. To make it appear that he himself was the victim, Frank had placed on one of Crowley'S fingers ring inscribed with the initials IF DS." The father then disappeared" after returning with his son to Boston in Anthonys machine.
 In those 12 minutes, the latest chapter had been written into the records of Massachusetts capita! punishment which dates from 163C when John Ellington was convicted of "Willful murder" and was sen- fenced to die therefor.
 In convicting Ellington, the jury had reported that This, as it was ye first execution amongst them, so was it a matter of great sadness to them He waylaid young man, one John New-Comin, about a former quar- relic and shot him with a gune whereof he dyed"
 Sentence Delayed Often
 The elder DiStasios execution had been stayed four times; the sons thrice. Forty-five minutes before they died, Governor Hurley denied last desperate plea in the sons behalf.
 The governors decision followed closely a dramatic scene in the death house. There Defense Coun- sel William R. Scharton had im- plored the father, for whom all hope had been abandoned, to shoulder full blame in an effort to save his | son.
 My son is innocent. 1 know he is" the convicted murderer cried. But won't sign the paper. I love my son so much that I don't want to leave him behind me-
 The son left behind a 26-page document which Scharton termed confession" but which state au- thoritieS called Anthony's life story.
 Both Ate Heartily
 Father and son ate heartily of last supper of Italian vegetable sal ad, apple pie and coffee. From ad- joining cells they conversed amiably during their last hours and gave nc indication, according to Father Farrell, of ill feeling despite the fathers refusal to save his only child. As the zero hour neared, they were given the last sacraments of the Roman Catholic church.
 Before Anthony walked to his death, he shook hands with his father, saying simply Goodbye father"
 Goodbye son." came the reply, 'It's tough, but Tn see you again"
 Two guards lifted Anthony's body ! from the chair after death was pro- nounced, but it required three to re- move the lifeless form of the 225- pound father. The bodies were laid side-by side on stone slabs behind screen where they were annointed and given conditional extreme unc- ton by Father Farrell.
 Less than an hour later 8 hearse backed up to the prison gates and mortuary where they were to be claimed by Anthony's pretty widow Shirley-their nearest of kin.

The work of the Engineering, Street and Water Departments is so closely co-ordinated that separate reference to each is al- most impossible. For detailed statements of the work accom- plished, I refer you to the reports of these departments, which are most enlightening.

 It has been increasingly evident for some time that a radical change is needed in the method of securing and retaining positions in the service of the city. I be-
