sand of ale bottles. As fast as moved
some bottles, more would slide down.
| thought could stand in the hole
had made. and tunnel my way down.
But the extra weights on my suit
carried me down among the shifting
bottles and before I knew it, they
closed over my head Fortunately, I
was directly below the hatch; l sig
nailed with the emergency line. and
my tenders managed to pull me out.
Next, l decided to have a try for
the cash. so made my way into the
captains cabin. The safe was there all
right, but it was wide open - and
empty! We might have suspected
something from that. But no - had
to have another try for the liquor.
My first step was to get on the lee
side of the boat and tunnel under the
hull. Then. by cutting upward through
the bottom, finally got into the hold.
there found a wilderness of empty
ale bottles!
What had happened? don't know.
No cash, no Scotch. All we had for our
efforts were empty ale bottles.
1t was near the end of our attempts
on the Dwight that Captain John
Craig, who is famous for the under
water movies he has made, came out
to make some pictures. One night he
mentioned picture he was planning
which called for self-contained div
ing suit. He had to get hold of one and
since l had my own new experimental
suit on the boat, l showed it to him.
After the failure on the Dwight, l
came back to Milwaukee, discouraged
and disguised. Several months later
Ireceived an excited call from Captain
Craig. He explained that he had OBJ
tanned contract to participate in the
s2lvaging of the Lusitania. Was in
terested in helping him? He wanted me
to help h m develop the self-contained
diving suit for deep-water work, and
offered to finance my experiments.
There were lot of tough problems
to overcome. The Lusitania sank in
3l2 feet of water off the coast of
Ireland. That was six feet deeper than
the record set by Frank Crilly, United
States Navy diver, in 1915, when he
tried to salvage the submarine Sd.
One of the great problems we had
to face was that of decomposition.
At 240 feet. the depth of the Lusi-
tania's decks, the decomposition time
is about four and half hours for one
hour of diving. The decomposition
time had to be shortened.
Another problem. which ties right
in with decomposition, was the bends,
or caisson disease, divers chief
danger When nitrogen and oxygen
are pumped into his system under the
tremendous pressure of deep-sea div
ing, he must also allow the gases to
come out before he returns to normal
surface pressure. If he doesn't, he gets
the bends - nitrogen bubbles forming
in his blood and tissues. This causes
acute pain, paralysis and even death.
After l carefully studied the proper
ties of every known gas, helium
seemed to me the ideal substitute for
nitrogen. The story of my study leaked
out and l had telephone call from
DIR. Edgar End, of the Marquette
University School of Medicine, who
had been doing laboratory work on
guinea pigs under great pressure. He
invited me to work with him.
We put guinea pigs through terrific
pressure with helium and oxygen and
they didn't get the bends. Then. with

THAT - blackbirds like to dunk their
bread. My neighbor throws out bread
for the birds in his yard. The black
birds soak hunks of it in our bird bath
before they eat it,
That - the preferred plant of the
humming bird is one of reddish or
dark orange hues. Whether the
humming bird huns for nectar or in
sects - and there is still some argu-
ment on that score - he invariably
gives his attention to the reddest
flower he can find. And if garden
possesses no flowers that suit his color
fancy, he will generally avoid it al
together. Of the hundreds of plants
that l have raised, scarlet saliva
pleases the humming bird most.

was Francis Lawlor, who is employ ed by T. G. Smith, who also has been a continuous witness before the jury. Wilbur L. Larson, North Main street furniture man was re- called also.
 It is believed that more records of the Connecticut Supply company are to be brought before the jury, for just prior to noon, Burns walked in the direction of his office, &C., companied by Detectives George L. Greer and John Sponzo. They had not returned until late hour.
 All witnesses had left the jury floor before noon with the excep- ton of MT. Crary and his assistant. MT. Crary was the first of the morning witnesses, and immediate ly after his arrival he was sent for the assessors records, in company with Detective Sponzo. They return ed shortly thereafter riding in a truck owned by the Cronin company, in which the books were transport ed.
 Today was MT. Crary's second ap- pea1ance before the jury. MT. Healey, as executive of two com- panies was in close contact with former Controller Daniel J. Leary, did not remain very long this morn ing and he will undoubtedly be re- called. Trucks of the Conner con- pany are used in the distribution of products of the Waterbury Brewing company, from which MT. Leary re- signed as head earlier this week.
 MT. Burns was frequent witness during the earlier days of the probe, but had not been seen at the jury room for more than three weeks un- til today. His company, the Con- necticut Supply company, received large sums from the city for rent of trucks and equipment on pub lie works projects. In this connec- ton however, the Connecticut Sup ply company is still hired by the city for construction work, and nu- merous payments have been made, even since the controllers office passed to the hands of MT. Rowland Wilbur Larson entered the jury building at 12:30 and was excused at 12:32 to return this afternoon
 States Attorney Lawrence L Lewis of this district, and his aide County Detective Roland G. filling were the climatic witnesses of yester' days session. It was these two men with the assistance of Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitz' gerald, who laid the groundwork fol the grand jury investigation now being directed by special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn. It was States Attorney Lewis

 inavies and air forces was expected
 to result, as well as an agreement under which France would get credits to permit her to share in purchases of American and Cana dian war planes.
 Prime Minister Neville Chamber lain and Viscount Halifax, foreign secretary, for Britain, and Premier Edouard Daladier and Foreign Min ister George Bonnet, began the1r talk at No. 10 Downing street, whose walls have echoied talk on historic events since 1731, at 10:30 a. m.
 (5:30 a. m. EDTo.
 Their program for discussion was a long one, containing items which pertained to every big problem in which the two democracies share interest.
 Item of Importance
 But the big item of importance overshadowing anything else, was that of military cooperation. The two countries, the richest and to- gether the most powerful in Europe. neighbors separated by the 20-mile Straight of Dover, united by their interests as fellow "haves," thrown together perforce as democracles confronted with the ambition Of totaitarian and "have not" coun- tries, seemed closer today, for peace or war, than they had been in near ly 20 years.
 They regard the European situa- ton as more serious than it had been since the World war; they had determined to do all they could to dispel by diplomatic means the menace hanging over Europe and at the same time, by expenditures
 unprecedented in peace time, to pre- pare for a war which more and more people believed unacceptable. It was forecast that one of the
 earliest decisions would be to revive
 and extend the scope of army, navy , and general staff talks inaugurated /, in 1886 after the German militariba- tion of the Rhineland.
 Start After Hitler Visit It was said in usually reliable quarters that the British were pre- pared to start staff talks imme-
 diately after the visit of Adolf Hit Ter to Premier Benito Mussolini at :. Rome May 3. They did not wish to start them sooner because they thought it might seem provocative.
 Britain was hopeful still, though in apparently diminishing degree, that peaceful collaboration Of all European nations might be effected. Britain did not wish to provoke any counter measures to British~Fren military cooperation. Nevertheless the British seemed prepared for that cooperation and further for a l gigantic air force pool as part of : which credits would be allowed France for share in purchase of 3 perhaps 100000 worth of Am
 erican and British plaes, and fur
 ther, British plans would go to the
 aid of France if she were attacked.
 AS part of the effort to effect peaceful collaboration, it was un- derstood the French and British leaders would consider at length
 the Czechoslovakian situation in
 view of the demands fro conces-
 sions of the German minority in Czechoslovakia-a minority for l which Nazi Germany claims "pro- ) tective" interest.

 Justice Maltbie's Tribute
 Hartford, Conn.,, April 28-CUP)- State Supreme Court Chief Justice William M. Maltbie today regarded the death of Judge Isaac M. Wolfe as "a real loss to the state and eS- peCially to it's bench and bar"
 Justice Maltbie said:
 "The death of Judge Wolfe brings to close a notable career. For more than 20 years he served upon the bench of the court of common pleas and the superior court. He was an able, conscientious and painstaking judge. notable not least for his nev- CT failing fair -mindedness and his sound sense and judgment.
 He was held in high esteem alike by his associates on the bench and by all who had business in the courts. Perhaps for no quality will he be so much remembered as for his kindliness to everyone with whom he came in contact. This qual- ity had fine opportunity to mani- fest itself after he retired from the bench and was free from it's re- straints; for he was able then to give abundantly of his wisdom and experience to those who needed guidance and the lack of his will ing help will be peculiarly felt by the younger members of the bar who were wont to go to him for ad- vice. He will sorely be missed by the judges who had been associated with him so long. His death is real loss to the state and especially to its bench and bar"
