Continental National Bank of Chi cago and one of the passengers Williams rescued, said he would recommend the porter for the Car negie hero award.
 Miss Jensen was probably the most fortunate of the survivors. She was in the first pullman that plung- ed under the surface. In falling, she was thrown through one of the win- dows of her berth and came to the surface to grab a dangling piece of the trestle. She was too weak to cry out, but finally other passengers heard her moans and Shipley dove in after her.
 Typical Story
 The story of Evelyn Bratiud, of Minneapolis, was typical of those of the survivors. She was in her berth, asleep.
 "The first I knew of it was when was awakened by a terrific jerk, 1" she said. "The porter (Williams) came running through the car, tell ing us to get up and get out. I raised the curtain and saw the wa ter rushing by the window. There was a terrific thud and scrunch. The car seemed to tilt. got out in to the aisle and the porter hurried me and the others outside. Then we watched the car slide into the creek"

Alderman terms the grand jury's report "damning and censorious in character, and naming and aspers- ing the good repute of this defend- ant and other persons whom it re- fused and failed to present or to indict." Release of the report for publication at the same time it was submitted to the court is also criti- cized by Alderman.
 No Additional Motions
 None of the accused will neces- sarily appear in superior court to- morrow which has been set as the final date for filing motions. At 10 o'clock there will be no additional motions accepted, and Judge Inglis will then assign date or dates for hearings on them. There is pos sibility that there will be arguments on the quo warranto writ tomorrow.

Hickey and George L. Greer were reported "out of town" and unable to be reached" when sought at their Hartford office today.

JOHN TAKES ANNE
 FOR BOAT RIDE

Campobello, N. B., June 20-CUP) John A. Roosevelt introduced his bride of three Jays, the former Anne Lindsay Clark, to old friends of the family among the villagers of Camp obello Island today, and then took her sailing, an old Roosevelt GUS tom.
 The presidents youngest son and his bride came here by automobile after their wedding at Nahant, Mass. Saturday, and will remain until tomorrow when they will drive to Quebec City. There they will board the s. s. Lady Somers for Bermuda. The Lady Somers sails Wednesday night.
 The couple was greeted by a typi- cal summer rain and fog when they arrived at the island by auto- mobile ferry from Lubec, Me. Today, however, was clear and sunny.
 The only persons at the Roose- welt summer cottage other than the newlyweds were the caretaker and household staff.

EdkC AI on the Democratic ticket.
 O'Connell was elected by Fusion Democratic Republican vote over Mayor Edward Moran, organization Democrat.
 Observers noted the striking simi- larity between the mayoralty cam paigns of Culhane and O'Connell.
 Senator Culhane, reached by The Democrat at noon, at first was in- clined to treat the report of his part in forming new party as less than serious.
 "Oh, that was the time I went in to get copy of state manual last Friday" he remarked of his visit to the office of the secretary of state.
 He evinced interest in the Hart ford report, however, to the extent that he wanted to know how, where and to what extent he had been featured as pioneer in new political enterprise. When this had been fur nished, the senator remarked:
 No comment"
 And that was the extent of the Waterbury legislators reaction.
 To successive questions regarding his plan, or the possible outlining of state ticket, Senator Culhane repeated his byword: No comment"
 At the time of his conference with Governor Cross ten days ago, 1t was believed that Senator Gull hane was interested in the successor to City Court Judge John F. Me- Grath, who resigned recently. He denied that his visit with tkc gov- ernor. however, was more than a so- cial call.

N. Alcorn, Jr., accepted service of the quo warranto writ for his fath- CT on Saturday. Deputy Sheriff . Michael T. Haugh of Hartford made Sthe service.
 AIcorn Status Uncertain
 Whether or not MT. Alcorn will argue tomorrow on that quo war ranto writ, which was issued Friday by Judge Ernest A. Inglis, could not be ascertained today. It is possible that he will demur to the writ, CT file a motion to quash, and Judge Inglis might set 8 date for future hearing.
 The question is highly important for on it centers the right of Special Prosecutor hlcorn to come into this county to direct the jury's investi- gations and then continue to prose- cute the accused in resultant trials All motions filed thus far attacking the informations in the bench war rant have included this technicality.
 The three Kingsley firm members charge that they were deprived of their rights under the fourth, fifth, { and sixth amendments to the U. s. Constitution, by being forced to ap- pear before the grand jury and tes- tify against themselves. The issue of violation of constitutional rights will undoubtedly be aired in higher scourts. Attorney Slade, for the audi tors, also questions the legality of Selection of the grand jury and the procedure by which Kingsley, Mean " and Murray were forced to sub- init written testimony to the jury.
 Allege Procedure Improper
 Alderman's motion alleges that the bench warrant was not procured, signed and filed by either a duly authorized states attorney or as- sistant. Conceding that Lawrence L. Lewis and William B. Fitzgerald dis qualified themselves from the inves- tigation, Alderman maintains that Samuel E. Hoyt and Richard Ul- man, states attorney and assistant of New Haven, did not, and there fore were eligible to direct the local probe.

DE VALERAPARTY
 IS IN CONTROL

Continued From Page D July l, 1897, De valera's party had exactly one-half the seats in the dial. The recent death of a Fianna Fail deputy for county Monaghan actually left it in minority of one and dependent on the labor's party"s support.
 Impatient fo this defence and counting on the recent British Irish agreement to swing votes to his side, DeValera decided to call an election.
 Throughout the campaign he made all possible political capitatl out of the agreement with Britain which ended seven-year trade war" He also found former President Will liam T. Cosgrave's fine Gail party financially and politically weak. Cosgrave was unable to produce a strong election program to oppose De Valera.
 The campaign was hot one. De Valera, former rebel and irrecon- cilable enemy of Britain, entered it as defender of the British Irish agreement and champion of the ! British connection. Cosgrave, who attacked the agreement on the ground that it would involve Fire in Britains' quarrels, virtually was forced into the position of opposing the imperial connection which in the past his party always has sup ported.
 In his campaign De Valera asked for strong government to carry out five-year reconstruction program. He demanded mandate to con- tinue working for the abolition of partition by the union of the north and the south in an all-Ireland state.
 His party's program plans for de- veloping Irish agriculture and the employment of 25,000 more workers in industry; for slum clearance and housing; for extension of so- cial services and pension and for a large-scale development of the peat industry.
 As a result of the elections the present senate, which has been in existence only two months, will be dissolved on August 16. Polling for the new senate, which is elected by complicated system of panels and nominations, will close on Aug. IT,

 Should the governor be re-nomi- mated, they had slight hope that he could be defeated at the general election. Republicans, in particular, have been urged by many of their party leaders to forget political lines and vote for Petersen.
 Benson packers, alarmed by the possibility of coalition against their candidate, planned to seek record turnout of Farmer Labor regulars" They forecast that Benson could be nominated even if 100000 Republi- cans and Democrats rallied to the Petersen cause.

The script was written by Felix Jager, we'll known writer, and the program originates in the studios of Mutuars Cincinnati affiliate, WLW.
