JULIAN 6. GATES
 IS BOUND OVER
Two Charges Preferred Against MotOrist; Bonds
 Set at $500

Julian G. Gates, AT, of Al Pros pect street, secretary treasurer of the Waterbury Tool Co.,, was bound over to the September criminal term of superior court after hearing be- fore Judge Edward Mascolo in traf- fic court this morning on charges Iof operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor and causing the breaking of limb be- cause of his operation of car while intoxicated.
 No defense testimony was pre- sented, the state resting it's case af- ter offering four witnesses. Judge Edward Mascolo halted the hearing when the state rested, declaring that sufficient evidence had been intro duced to establish probable cause. Bonds were fixed at $500.
 Gates was arrested Aug. 16, 1887, after an accident in which his car struck a motorcycle operated by Howard Salisbury, 24. of Middlebury on Grand street. Salisbury was ser iously injured and his left leg had to be amputated. He was in Water bury hospital for long period.
 State Trooper Christopher Hayes, Sergt. Charles McWeeney and Motor Patrolman John Murphy all testified that Gates was under the influence of liquor when they talked with him short time after the accident. Salisbury also took the stand briefly, testifying as to the position of his motorcycle in relation to Gates car at the time of the accident.
 State Trooper Hayes, a resident of this city, was driving along Grand street, few moments after the ac- cident. He said he talked with Gates, and that Gates admitted be- ing the driver of the car which struck Salisbury's motorcycle. Gates, he said, staggered and his breath smelled of alcohol. The officer said there was no question in his mind but that Gates was under the inf1u- ence.
 Sergt. McWeeney and Motor Pa trolman Murphy testified similarly.
 The second. charge against Gates was lodged only last week, being placed by Prosecutor Mitchell Mey- CTS, who presented the states case today. The charge is based on a statute adopted in 1885, and exer- cised for the first time in this city.
 The statute provides maximum penalties of a S1,O00 fine or TO- year prison sentence, or both, for any driver who causes the breaking of a limb by operating a motor ve- hicle with gross negligence, or while intoxicated.
 A $50,000 civil suit by Salisbury against Gates has recently been set- tied out of court.

Posse Leaves Today to Recover Bodies; Wreck=
 age Buried in Snow

WaWona, Calf, June 13-(UP)- A posse started out at dawn today to remove the nine bodies from the Wreckage of Transcontinental and Western AirWays plane that van- ished March 1 during storm and was found yesterday half-buried in snow, on the side of a 6,000-foot peak in the Yosemite National park, 12 miles east of here.
 News of the discovery was tele- phoned late last night from ranger headquarters in the park. H. O. Collier, "A, of Fresno, found the wreckage. It required 12 hours for him to walk from the scene, in a mountain wilderness near Buena Vista park, to the rangers office
 "Tf1e- plane must have struck with terrific force" Collier said. '"The wreckage is in small pieces"
 He said the fuselage was about 200 feet from the top of the moun- tain, protruding from the snow that probably had covered 1t completely before the summer thaws. Il lOOKeQ lnSlQe ana counted eight bodies" he said. "They were unrec- ognlzable."
 He was not certain whether the ninth body might have been thrown clear of the Wreckage.
 The plane was a 14-passenger Douglas model, that left San Fran cisco on shuttle flight to Albu- querque, N. M., where it was to have made connections with the eaSt-bound Transcontinental liner. It was caught in furious storm in the Tehachapi mountains near Fresno, the forerunner of the cloud bursts that caused the disastrous Southern California floods in arch. Pilot John D. Graves had reported by radio shortly after D. m. that

(OnlCeu freSS SCaH COrreSpOnuentD
 Washington, June 13-- CUP)- Congressional leaders broke the deadlock on President Roosevelt's Wage-hour legislation but foun d their adjournment drive was checked today by demands for legislation to prevent economically dangerous de- velopmentS in the railroad industry.
 Senate and house confereeS agreed to 8 wages and hours compromise yesterday in language providing exemptions from work and pay scales for industries and areas which can demonstrate necessity for other standards. That provision is ex- pected to meet the objections raised by southern legislators to rigid inn position of 40-hour work week and a 4O-cents-per-hour pay scale.
 Chairman Burton K. Wheeler called the senate interstate com merce committee to meet today to consider railroad aid legislation which may embrace any or all the following features:
 l. Provision for Reconstruction Finance corporation loans to car riers without interstate commerce commission certification of the car rier'S solvency.
 2. Relaxation of red tape in the process of railroad reorganization.
 3. Establishment of federal unemployment compensation system for the industry.
 Congressional leaders will report to MT. Roosevelt at the White House today on railroad legislation and adjournment prospects, It is ex- pected that any effort to deal with the railroad problem will delay ad- journment at least week and probably more.

 Place June 2l

In adjournment since June l, the Waterbury extraordi- nary grand jury will return tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to it's inquisition and question several local and out-of-town witnesses who have not previously been placed on the witness stand.
 Identification of the new witnesses was impossible to- day, insofar as Detective Edward J. Hickey was concerned, but a reliable source reported that there would be many from beyond the boundaries of Waterbury.
 Tomorrow's session will be the fiftieth conducted by the jury, &C., cording to the official record of sessions contained in the sensa- tional report of May 19. Although the identity of the witnesses called cannot be established there is every indication that the probe will con- tinue into the 1887 election and the gambling rackets which are said to have flourished here during the past eight years.
 Speed Up Hearings

YELLOW RIVER

Disaster Worse Than War Threatens Central China
 as Floods Spread
BY ROBERT BELLAIRE

Shanghai, June 13-CUP)-A dis aster surpassing the war in horror is threatened by floods in Central China, reports from the Chinese and Japanese advance forces indi- cate today.
 The muddy waters of the Yellow River, "Scourge of the Sons of Han," were pouring through brok- en dykes onto the plains of Honan province to the south, onto the lit tie farms of the peasants, through the streets of villages and along the road over which the Japanese were pushing on their new drive to the south to take HankoW.
 Japanese military authorities here had received no direct reports from Chengchow, junctoin point of the East-West Lunghai railroad and the north-south Peiping Han koW railroad, for three days. It was indicated that the rear troops of the Japanese, in their advance westward, already were threatened
 Military experts here said that if the river really went amok, the en- tire scene of the fight for Hankow must be shifted. Flood experts said that if the river stayed out of bounds, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Japanese and Chinese, and millions of helpless civilians, would be in danger.
 How big the flood was, or exact ly what was it cause, remained un- known. Weeks ago Chinese had threatened. to flood central China if necessary to stop the Japanese All they had to do was to cut the dykes. At many points, the bed of the river, raised at the rate of one foot each 100 years by the mud

Justice Undelayed.

Charles P. Sullivan. district attorney
at the New York Worlds Fair for
branch Office. The big show is in his
territory, and he wants an Office on the
grounds 1T is necessary and essential
for the proper and speedy prosecution
of such crimes as may be committed"
there.
Back of the suggestion, obviously. lies
the idea that justice ought not to be
delayed in cases involving travellers, peo-
pie from other States and from foreign
countries visiting the fair. Mr.. Sullivan
desires to prepare in advance against the
danger Of losing witnesses. Also. he is
motivated by wish to be courteous to
strangers. Both purposes are praise
worthy and commendable.
And the same may be suggested with
regard to ordinary places and times.
Society is mobile nowadays, great num-
bers Of persons are "on the move" For
their convenience and in the interest of
fairness and equity in human relations
the courts everywhere should be up-to-
date. The cooperation of attorneys and
their clients is needed toward that end.
1t occasionally has happened that the
prosecutors Office was not far enough
away to suit the wish of defendant
Mr.. Sullivan apparently has had expert
ence with criminals whose "mouthpieces"
stall as well as with plaintiffs who run
out" on their own complaints He is
doing his best to accommodate both types
and incidentally to serve the general
public.

Social Security.

Three years have passed since the
Inauguration of the Social Security Act.
Figures made public by the Treasury
Department show the cost of the system
in that time to be nearly fifty per cent
greater than its receipts. But such
figures are misleading if the implication
of an uneconomic financial structure
results Roughly, nearly forty per cent of
the expenditures has been to the States
for aid to the aged, the blind, for mater
nal and child health projects, for crippled
children, welfare and public health work.
Three years is to short time in which
to Judge an act such as this The fund
for the payment of benefits will not have
reached its maximum until 1880; and the
pay roll tax rate still is at its initial
level
The plan undeniably will provide
measure of financial safety in the future
for the large proportion of the workers
who previously did not benefit under
private pension systems. 1t protects
others from the discontinuance of private
systems which had been their sole secur-
ity, and eliminates pension slavery.
condition less common. On the other
hand. it has threatened or destroyed the
private pensions or insurance of thou
sands who have devoted the major part
of their working lives to one job. There
have been promises for correction of
this factor in later sessions of Congress.
In the moods of succeeding Congresses
and administrations lies the future of
social security. Already predictions are
being made, one a few weeks ago fore
casting a general Federal sales tax to
replace the pay roll levy system. The
United States has seen many vital social
and economic problems turned into
political footballs in the past. And 1t
has seen many Congressional enthusi-
asms die because Of incompleted legisla-
tive action. Plans dear to the heart OF
one administration have later been COM
pletely forgotten.
Three years is only beginning In so
vast plan as Social Security. Constant
vigilance will be necessary for many years
if it Is to be preserved. The matter is too
vital to too many people.

A SENSE OF DIRECTION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN d. D, IL D, c. l.,
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

A distinguished English writer main
tains: 1.-THE greatest need of mankind
today, socially and individually, is q true
sense Of direction" He describes our
modern world as like an Atlantic liner
minus rudder, compass, sextant and
charts, very comfortable and magnificent,
with an abundance of power but incapa-
bic Of reaching any designed objective.
We are the creatures of circumstance
with an ever-changing balance OF con-
fiicting interests and ambitions" he adds
There Is much in what he says. Even
strong and stable states are once again
In an experimental period and much If
not most of their legislation and policies
make this evident. The old landmarks
and rangefnders have for the while lost
their value, and tested experience has
abdicated its authority and gives no war
rant for determining our future course
of action. We are evidently in process OF
rediscovering and redefining both our
selves and our purposes To hew to old
ways and to follow old paths Is to be re-
dictionary or conservative; to institute
new plans and to devise new schemes Is
to be forward looking and liberal. It Is
always true that new occasions teach
new duties" and it is wise to be OPEN
minded and receptive to fresh ventures.
Now and again situations arise that
make us sober and reflective and our
precipitate haste is slowed down by q
fresh evaluation of those vital and funda-
mental principles that are not subject,
like the timetable. to change. An early
writer and wise one as he appraised life
and its meaning and purpose sought for
wisdom higher than his own and in
doing SO he declared concerning it and
its value: Thy word is lamp unto my
feet and light unto my path He was
seeking to avail himself OF that kind
OF wisdom and power that would enable
him to see and know with reasonable
certainty the way he was to CO. He be-
lieved there was wisdom and power
greater than his own and in invoking it
he would see clearly the path he was to
follow This meant faith and trust in
one who was capable of giving direction
to men In their world pilgrimage We
call this religious conviction. the recog-
milton of God and His place in the
scheme Of life.
Do We know of anything more needed
than this In this confused period through

cials Of the Department Of the Interior
expect to take title to the one-hundred-
and-eighty-hve mile right Of way before
the first Of the year.
This would mean that work on the
restoration can be completed next sum
mer. Funds amounting to half million
dollars already have been earmarked and
working plans are well developed.
The plan calls for an -parkified"
parkway from Georgetown to the aque-
duct on which the canal crosses the
mouth OF Seneca Greek. The old water
way will be restored to its original condi-
ton, the towpath serving as a prone
made. with the possible addition of .
bicycle and bride path. The locks will
be rebuilt, the lock keepers houses reno
waited, the ancient tavern at Great Falls
restored, and at least on.week ends and
holidays the canal will be manned as
in its heyday. Provision for easy access
by automobile will be provided, but there
will be no motor road along the right Of
way. The entire tract will be preserved
in its natural lush vegetation and abun-
dance of wild flowers. Some of the old
tow boats probably will be restored to
provide week end excursions, and special
arrangements will be made for the as
sistance of canoeists at times when the
locks are not in operation. Secluded
picnic grounds will be provided for In
such a way as not to "moderntze" the
canal and its towpath.
Above Seneca, where the canal struc-
lures were of logs or clapboard. there
will be no restoration beyond the preser-
vation of several unusual engineering
works, such IS the tunnel at Paw Paw
and the great seven arch aqueduct across
the mouth of the Monocacy River.
The whole project. which originated
in the mind of George Washington, will
be fitting unit in the great Washington
Memorial Parkway which some day will
link Mount Vernon and Great Falls by
means Of parks and boulevards on both
sides of the Potomac.
