''CACE FEM" MAYOR
 REBUKES LAWYER

Woburn, Mass, March 9 -(UP) Mayor William E. Cage 'Em) Kane has advised District Attor- ney Warren L. Bishop to shake off your suddenly acquired appre- hension for the trial of drunk cases and give more attention to the more serious crimes" Kane, who proposes to drive drunks through city streets in a wheeled lions cage, had been warned by Bishop that the imposition of punishment for law violations was "the exclusive right and prerogative of judges and the courts"
 The mayor accused Bishop of making an agreement with four youths charged with attacking two Woburn policemen to recommend probation if they pleaded guilty. The plan went astray, Kane said, when the court rebuked the prose- cutor and jailed the quartet for two months.
 "As most district attorneys have confidence in local police depart ments to handle local matters" Kane wrote Bishop, it is really un- necessary for you to concern your self further about our suggested remedy to cure drunkenness. As a matter of fact, it's mere suggestion has already eliminated many po- tential passengers"

JAMES CURLEY
 BACK FOR FIGHT
Former Mass. Governor Prepares to Battle Bribe
 Charge to Highest Court

Boston, March 9.-UP)-Former Governor James M. Curley, back from long Florida vacation, pre- pared today to fight to the high est court the superior court ruling that he accepted a $30,000 bribe while mayor of Boston. He termed the general equipment case "the most atrocious conspiracy since the Dreyfus case" in which Captain Dreyfus, Jew, was convicted un- justly of treason at the instigation of French army staff members. Af- ter conferring with his counsel Wendell P. Murray, Curley issued this statement last night: "For a period of 40 years, have been ac- tive in the public life of the na- tion, state and city. During the major portion of this time, the forces now seeking my destruction have used every means in their power to accomplish their objec- tice and have failed.
 Last Desperate Move
 "As a last desperate move they have, with the aid of a confessed perjurer, succeeded in securing finding against me. It represents the most atrocious conspiracy since the Dreyfus case, but it will not succeed.
 T shall seek, through the courts and radio, to expose the entire con- spiracy and bring justice to the real crooks.
 T owe it to my family, to my self and to the state and city, which have so many times honored me with positions of public trust. I have no apprehension as to the final outcome"
 Superior Judge Frederick w. Eos dick, after long-draWn trial, ruled that Curley received $30,000 bribe in an illegal settlement of a prop erty damage suit against the city by the General Equipment Corpora ton.

GIRL RISKS HER
 LIFE AND LIVES
s. Eugenia Davis Comes Out of OperatiOn-DOc-
 tors Still Watch

Kansas City, Mo. March 9-(UP) Sylvia Eugenia Davis was consci- ouS and smiling today after a dan- gerous operation in which she risked her life hoping it would enable her to walk and use her arms for the first time since she was born 20 years ago. I
 The postoperative crisis came to- day. By night, her surgeon expect ed to know whether she would live or die. Whether she would ever be able to rise from the wheelchair where she learned to write, read books, paint and draw without the use of her arms, will not be known for weeks.
 Her physician, who performed the rare spinal operation and laid bare the fragile nerves leading from her brain to the voluntary muscles of her arms and legs, said that Miss Davis was slightly improved and that her early return to conSciou- ness was "a favorable indication of successful recovery"
 Had Useless Limbs
 The girls paralysis, caused by an injury at birth, had left her with limbs that dangled uselessly, but which developed in size and muscle l as she grew and gave her body | that appeared normal. The surgeon, who insisted on anonymity, believed | that the chances of giving at least | partial locomotion to her limbs were worth the risk involved. The risk was taken yesterday at St. Luke's hospital, today, outside the door of her room, Miss Davis father and | mother stood vigil. They had been there all night.
 The drone of the electrical respi- rator, wherein 3he girl lay, carried | past the closed door, and the steady, ominous beat treasured the parents 20 times a minute that the breath and life of their daughter was being

(Continued from Page D of police, who feared renewal of last nights wild communist demon strations, Ribbentrop, arrived this afternoon to open the talks looking toward Anglo-German approach ment. The German diplomat arrived at Victoria station at $40 D. m. It was surrounded by several hundred police and hundreds of persons crowded the approaches to the sta- tion. No one was a''0''~1 the platform without authorization.
 Special measure Uo u. von Ribbentrop were taken after anti Nazi scenes last night in Piccadilly circus, where communists fought police were dispersed only when mounted endorsements rode into the crowds.
 They Heard Speeches
 Then the communists adjourned to Trafalgar square to hear speeches against Ribbentrop and nazism this afternoon to dennounce Rib bentrop while government officials welcomed him.
 The manifestation was a bad augury for the important talks which Ribbentrop is to engage in. Ostensibly, he is here for a two day visit to wind up his affairs S German ambassador. He was pro- noted to foreign minister in the Nazi shake-up Of Feb. 4.

 crease, the l. c. c. members made it plain ln separate decisions that they did not consider it a cure for the railroad ills. Commissioner Carroll Miller, in a concurring opinion, said that consolidation of all the railroads into one system would be the real solution of the railroad problem" and manifestly would result in reduction of ex- penses to such an extent that rates could be materially reduced"
 Commissioner Joseph " Eastman, former coordinator of transporta- tion, said the increase "at best is only a palliative, and whether it is even that remains to be Seen."
 Dissenting Commission
 Commissioner Charles D. Mahaffie who dissented because of the liml- tations placed upon the increases sought by the carriers, said the authorized increases will not per- init, under existing circumstances, the adequate transportation system contemplated by law.
 Tn this proceeding, the carriers are seeking an opportunity to earn their living. Whether they generally can do so at any level of rates may be open to question. But so long as the country requires and utilizes their services they should have that chance. The meagre increases authorized do not afford it."
 Dozen Solutions
 The group which meets with MT. Roosevelt probably will propose a dozen solutions-ranging from ad- ditional federal loans to running them through the Wringer of reor- ganization" to wipe out excess capi- talization. The railroads are capi- talized at approximately $26,000,- 100000 and paid $67O,000,00O in in terest last year. TWenty-eight per cent of the total railway mileage now is in bankruptcy.
 Other plans include pooling" of all earnings so the stronger roads will aid the weaker ones (noW in use in Great Britain), establish ment of an overall" holding com pany to consolidate all roads by is suing stocks and bonds that would be exchanged for present railway issues, and establishment of con- solidation court that could order railway consultations.

GOVERNOR GROSS
 TO VIEW HIGHWAY
Will Not Be Influenced By Pictures of Either Hur=
 ley or Macdonald

Hartford, Conn.,, March 9.-(UP) Within the next few days, Gov. Wilbur L. Cross will make 8 per- sonal inspection tour of the Mer- ritt Parkway, center of a major controversy between two of his ap- pointive commissioners.
 The governor said he would not rely upon photographs to deter mine which of his commissioners, Public Works Director Robert A. Hurley or Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald, is correct in his criticism or defense of construc- tion methods employed on the park way.
 No pictures" said the governor, succinctly.
 At the same time, the governor disclosed he has been in confer ence with outside engineers for their opinions on whether faulty construc- ton and engineering devices were used in construction of bridges over the parkway.
 Claims of Each
 Hurley asserted the single span type of bridges were unsafe. Mac donald replied they were not dan gerous and pointed out there is room for more cars under the spans than on regular parkway.
 The governor already has taken one ride over the newly ed road, sections of which still are incomplete, but that was before the present controversy over construc- tion became paramount issue.
 Gov. Cross said his outside en- gineering conferences have been going on flor quite a while."
 T have reached no conclusions yet" he said.

LAWYER AVERILL
 ENGAGED AGAIN

Hartford, Conn, March 9.-UP). Former Deputy Attorney General Ernest L. Averill said today he had accepted an offer to become research counsel for the legislative council to draft governmental reorganization program for the next General As sembly session.
 Immediate consideration would be given, he said, to proposals of the council that all agricultural units of the state be coordinated and that public health functions of the agri- cultural department be transferred to the state health department.

Rowland Back Again


 Mr. Rowland was before the grand jury for more than two and one fourth hours yesterday, and appar- ently returned to offer further infor- nation today. William J. Arm strong, personal aide to MT. Row land had not been seen at the court house at a late hour. James J. Pur- cell, the accountant who discovered records were missing and reported his disclosures to his superior, was at the court house, however.
 All three were subpoenaed yes- terday. MT. Alcorn has stated that all witnesses who are summoned to the jury rooms are subject to un- limited recalls.
 John Sponz0 Is Watchman
 John Sponzo, investigator of AL corn's office, one of the men now termed "A-Men," was on duty at the court house throughout the night, as a watchman.
 County Detective Edward j. Hickey was the first of the official staff to arrive at the court house this morning. At 9:l5, however, a huge Blakeslee moving van arrived at the front door, and attendants announced that they bore "con- troller's records for delivery to the grand jury room"
 Five truckers, Walter Thibault, Ralph Frederickson, Henry Taylor, John Valikauskas and Edward Her. bert carried the record-laden boxes from the truck to the elevator, and then stayed with their packages un- til Elevator-man William Magee de- posted them on the third floor.
 Truck Men Are Honored
 The truckmen were perhaps the only men, excepting witnesses, who will tread the floor of the jurors Sanctum during the investigation They piled the boxes in orderly fashion against the walls of the jury room.
 The records returned today had been kept for the past six weeks in the vaults of the county building at Hartford, under the custody of MT Alcorn. They include all available records of the controllers office and it's transactions for the period 1930- 1888. Some of the labels on the boxes indicated that they contained or had contained vouchers" "pur- chasing orders," department regis trations," each marked with dates Various of these records have been described as missing.
 The jurors commenced arriving In groups of two's and three's between g and 10 o'clock this morning. Their only comments as they buzzed the signal for elevator service was with respect to the weather conditions. They appeared to be obeying the laws laid down by Judge Inglis, that, you shall not discuss this affair even among yourselves out side of the jury room"
 Arrivals of Sherwood Rowland and James Purcell caused no ex- citement, for It was realized that they were recalls from yesterdays subpoenaes.
 When Miss Cozza arrived, how ever, newspaper row was whipped into frenzy of excitement. Nobody appeared to recognize Miss Cozza who was described to absent mem bers as a striking young lady, dressed completely in black"
 Excited Crowds Near
