CLAIMS TOMB OF
 POET IS OPENED
tCOntinued from Page l,

(COntinued from Page D bers of the Baconion society," formed to promote their claim that Bacon really wrote plays which have made Shakespeare one of the great figures in world history.
 The Baconians depended on the tradition that, when spenser died, in 1899, fellow poets, including Shakespeare = but not Bacon - dropped original manuscripts into his tomb to honor him. Almost noth- ing had been preserved of Shakes peare's own handwriting. Five or six signatures, three on his will, survive of his penmanship.
 The Baconians argued that if the manuscripts were found, and If shakespeare's showed handwriting Identical with that of Bacon, their case would be proved.
 It was known that abbey authori- ties wanted to keep the exhunation proceedings quiet and 1t was widely reported that they had opened the tomb during the night.
 Daily Mirror Asserts It
 The Daily Mirror asserted this morning that the tomb actually was opened, that no manuscripts were found, and that therefore the ar- gurnent which Herbert Lawrence first advanced in 176o in his 'aThe Life and Adventures of Common Sense" remained unsettled.
 According to the Daily Mirror, abbey officials were considering to- day whether to open also the casket in which Spenser's bones lie, in hope that there might be some clue there.
 Monument Keeper Denies It
 However, Lawrence Tanner, li- brarian and keeper of abbey monu- ments, told the United Press that Spenser's tomb had not been opened.
 He said that only preliminary survey had been made, that no defi- nite date had been set for the open- ing, that the exact position of the tomb was still doubtful and that ex- pertS were carrying out 8 series of surveys to fix the most likely spot for exploratory digging.
 Spenser's tomb is in the poets cor- ner of the abbey, according to the monument which purports to mark 1t. But the poets corner was estab- 1ished long after Spenser's burial. The monument to him, g 10-foot high stone monument set into the wall, lies between 8 bust of Ben Jonson and a monument to Milton, also built into the wall.
 Two Spenser Tombs
 The original spenser monument was erected 21 years after his death by the Countess of Dorset. It de- cayed with the years, and was re- placed by a new one, bought by pub- lie subscription in 1778.
 Shakespeare's monument is on the other side of the wall into which Spenser's monument is set. The wall divided the east and west parts of the poets corner.
 The section containing the Spen- cer monument has been screened by 8 board partition 10 feet high, and was unapproachable today. There was nothing unusual about the poets corner.

sonably as to have abused it's dis- cretion." Several cases are then cited in connection with this issue.
 While the commission might have been more specific in stating it's reason for revoking the permits, and 1t is not strictly necessary for 1t to do 90, it would be good prac- tice and helpful If 1t did. The su- preme court has held that where 1t does not appear on the hearing upon the appeal that conclusions of fact the commission reached, the court can only, by hearing the evidence or by reference, determine what the facts were and assume that the commission had those facts before it.
 "The court has also held in effect that it is the duty of the court to examine and a1alyze the facts and if upon all the facts any reason able ground could be drawn sup. porting the action of the commis- sion it was its duty to do SO.
 ''While the court is not bound by conclusions of the referee that the serving of the sandwich with the Rum Collins drinks in case Number 12606 was Q mere cover for the sale of the liquor, the con- clusion seems reasonable, and one the commission could reasonably have arrived at. The court can see no distinction in the other two cases. While g sandwich may un. der certain circumstances consti- tute Q meal, yet when served as a pretext for the purpose of obtain- ing or the sale of intoxicating Ii. quorS, 1t Is not the service of M- quors with meals, but rather the service of liquor on the pretext of serving food.
 ''The commission, it seems to the court could have reasonably reached this conclusion in all the cases. If so 1t was the service of liquor without meals.
 Tt might not be out of place to remark that we now have a lib- eralized liquor law, and if permit tees are not careful to obey the law, such disobedience will bring about more stringent regulations, just as the constant violation of the former liquor law by brewers, dealers and saloon keepers brought about prohibition.
 "The appeals are dismissed.

This year, with the Socialists making a drive for a split of major party votes for Jas per McLevy, of Bridgeport. perennial Socialist candidate for governor, the Socialists have led the plaint for placement of all of their can- didates on the ballots throughout the state.
 Although there was question as to the petitions for such placement. and the qualification of the candi- dates to be on the ballot because of late filing of tickets, the court ruled that this should be done.
 Before Monday
 Custodian Leary now is in the position of having to complete place. ment of the new ballots on the 66 voting machines, GA Of them out in the 32 districts, 2 to be used as spares, before Monday. A statute requires that the machines be sealed 24 hours before the polling hours and an inspection of the machines during the subsequent interim.
 He has asked for more help and if the machines are to be ready election day, special funds must be found to provide for this emergency.
 In Torrington, for instance, the ballot change will see placement of the Socialist candidate John W. Ring, seeking the congressional seat in the Sth district. Tn Water bury ballots, numerous Communist and other candidates, justices of the peace, on the Socialist ticket, and the like, will be added.

An attempt to operate the plant with non striking employees last week was blocked by picketS. The gover- nor said that only 200 out of HOO employees of the plant are CIo members.
 Adjutant General Emil F.

The governor said that "a reign of terror" has been started in MiddletoWn and that rights of non- union employees have been violated. He said there was no question of wages or hours but merely "the closed shop and the check-of which means that every employe will have to pay tribute to John Lewis.

 In the other cases things went more smoothly for the kidnapers, ale though Miller was able to give evi. dence that trapped them.
 Miller Was Observant
 Miller told federal authorities that he had been blindfolded but that he felt the walls of the lodge hall for possible Identification marks, studied the voices of his captora and listened to noises. When he en- tered the hall he noted that . ra- dio was playing "A Tisket Tasket."
 The G-men established how far kidnapers could travel in the time Miller estimated he had been travel- ing. They checked with radio sta. tions and found the one and the time when the song was broadcast
 Miller also noted church bells were in the neighborhood, heard pool balls clicking and determined that the sound of assembled people led him to believe he was in a lodge hall.
 Federal agents, after checking TOO billiard parlors and 200 churches, finally reached the Ukranian hall. Miller identified steps leading to door in the room where he had been kept prisoner and also some of the physical peculiarities of the room.
 Records of Seized Men
 Hoover said that the records of the seized men showed:
 Sacoda was arrested as juvenile delinquent when he was 12. In 1924 he was found guilty of truancy and sent to the correctional school for eight months. In 1925, he was sen- fenced to four years in a reform school as result of a burglary in which he was involved. When he was 1S Sacoda was convicted of burglary but was given a suspended sentence. In 1880, he was sentenced to the Elmira state reformatory for IS years for second degree robbery, but was paroled after serving & year and 10 months. A month after his parole he was arrested on 8 con- spiracy charge which was dismissed. In 1883, he was sentenced to three years in Sing Sing prison for grand larceny and received an additional two years for violation (! parole. He again was paroled in March last year. Last September 12 he was ar- rested for violation of parole and sentenced to two years in Sing Sing where he is at present.
 Gula was born in Austria and brought to this country in 1910. In 1892 he was sentenced to 18 months on each of three charges of counter feting. In October, 1935, he was ar. rested on a charge of grand larceny in the theft of an automobile, but the case was dismissed.
 Jacknis, under the name of Ruby Goldsmith, was convicted of arson in 1893, but received Q suspended sentence and was placed on proba- ton.
 virga, allies Murphy, was arrested in 1881 for robbing Q hat store and sentenced to Sing Sing prison for two to five years for robbery and five to 10 years for being armed.

 Minor Courts
 Regarding the investigation of the minor courts, which the governor said yesterday he would order with iag . few days, he declared: ''We have to consider legislation that might get through the General As- sembly."
 The inquiry was aimed at clean- ing up, the fec system, involving arrests by constables and trials by justices of the peace.
 Several years ago the governor proposed establishment of district courts, to absorb the minor tribunals, but the bills were killed in the house.
 '"rhere has been so much objec- ton to the district court bill," he said, "sorne new plan may be &C., ceptable to the General Assembly but this doesn't mean that aban- don the idea of a district court bill. P

hideaway used when Miller was kid nnped.
 Hoover said that Farber was kid. naped last April l0 while he was walking in front of the National City bank, Brooklyn. He was taken to New York while negotiations for e25,000 ransom were carried out. He was released a few days later after <l,0o0 had been dropped from q bridge to a man in the street below.
 Miller was seized at Coney Island on July 24 while he was walking with Q friend, Sidney Lehrer. Lehrer was taken to the lodge hall along with Miller but was released with Q note to the family demanding $26, 900 ransom.
 The Miller family agreed to pay &13,000, according to Hoover, and dropped the money into garbage can. Miller then was released
 No Details of Arrests
 Hoover gave no details of the manner in which the four men were arrested. He said the arrests took place over the weekend. Some of them confessed, he said.
 Certain confessions were made" Hoover said, land certain identifica. tions, both of persons in custody and of voices of those who guarded the victims during their confinement"
 He said federal authorities had no Jurisdiction to prosecute any of the cases.
 The G-men entered the case be- cause of Fried's disappearance, since under the Lindbergh law lapse of seven days allows the assumption that the victim had been taken across 8 state line. In the other kidnapings the negotiations were completed quickly.
 Fried, 32, was manager of the Bronx plant of the Colonial Sand and Stone company. Hoover said that the kidnaperS first intended to seize Fried's brother. He did not ex- plain why their plans were changed.
 No Shooting Explanation
 Neither did Hoover explain why the kidnapers had shot Fried even before the ransom negotiations were broken of.
 Mrs. Harold Daniels of White Plains, Frieds sister, said that his wife, Mrs. Gertrude Fried, and her child, Arlen, g, had not been in- formed of the arrests.
 Fried was with his wife, his sis- ter and brother-in-law Harold Dan- iels, New York city building flnan- cier, the night he disappeared
 Mrs. Emma Fried, mother of Fried, was i'll. Mrs. Daniels said she feared to communicate any de- velopment in the case to her, lest the shock affect her adversely. The mother is the widow of Joseph Fried, founder of cinder firm of
