DEPRESSION TO
 BE CONQUERED

(Continued from Page D
 he was working toward an informal advisory council which would not have to be sanctioned by congress Sional action.
 Points Demanded
 Hartman and his colleagues re- peatedly emphasized their willing ness and anxiety to cooperate with MT. Roosevelt in remedying econ- omic ills. But they accompanied their pledges with insistent de- mands on some points. They had this to say:
 l. Wages and hours: Legislation should be delayed for further study which would produce a bill of more limited scope that those so far pro- posed in congress. Legislation should be limited strictly to ending "starva- tion wages and intolerably long hours" as suggested in MT. Roose- belts January message to congress.
 2. Business practices: There should be legislation to deal with abusive business practices and to strengthen antitrust laws which the businessmen conceded were some what out-moded. MT. RooSevelt's reaction to this was not revealed.
 3. Holding companies: The busi- nessmen agreed to help toward geographic decentralization of in- dustry and they condemned hold ing company setups designed to con- centrate control in few hands or to serve purposes of financial manipu- latior. But they were "gravely con- cerned" by any general move on holding companies.
 4. Private Capital Investment: The businessmen said the corporate surplus and capital gains taxes must be modified to induce 8 normal flow of capital into industry, lack of which was believed to be an underlying factor in present condi- tions. But they asked, too, that investors be treasured "as to the di- rection reform is to take".
 5. Railroads: The businessmen endorsed MT. Roosevelt's recent statement that some means must be found to reestablish a sound rail- road financial situation.
 6. Annual Wages for Labor: Heartily endorsing MT. RooSevelt's efforts to "regularize employment" the businessmen said they believed in viewing labor's income from the standpoint of annual return rather than hourly rates. Labor has vigor- ously opposed annual wage" ideas.
 '. Monetary Policies: They warned against imitation by further cheapening the dollar and against pump priming spending. The busi- ness men said either would either hinder and perhaps prevent sound recovery.
 The advisory council formally stated its belief that the critical problem facing the country is re- employment in private industry.

avenue; MT. and Mrs. Thomas Fortt of Woodbury; Joseph Gior- dano of A Walnut stret extension. Joseph Cooley, of 293 Fairlawn ave- nue; Angelo Ianniello of 29 Irion street; A. Madeo Marconi, of Al Fuller street; Frank M. Palladino of 35 Brewster street: and John Mo- Carthy of 52 Bronx avenue.
 Coroner Monzani says in his finding:
 About half past four o'clock, Daylight Saving Time, on the aft noon of August ?, 1887, Edward A. Claffey, duly licensed motor vehicle operator, was driving an automobile owned by his wife, which automobile was properly registered in the State of Connec- ticut, down the hill on Lakewood road toward the pond at Lake wood, So-called. It had been rain- ing quite hard in that vicinity a short time before and the road way was wet. Claffey was coming down the hill at a moderate rate of speed on his own side of the road.
 An automobile owned and oper- ated by Thomas Fortt was stand ing with it's rear wheels in the gutter and projecting alightly out into the highway on the opposite side of the road, Fortt having turned completely around twice and ended up against the bank in that position just before Claf- fey came over the hill toward the lake.
 When Claffey reached a point just beyond where Fortt's car was standing, without any action on Claffey's part at all, the car sud- denly started to skid, slid partly around, staightened up, then slid around again and went through the fence, across the top of the concrete wall on the eaSterly side of the pond and down into the pond, carrying several people who were on the wall with it, among them Joseph Cooley. In the car with Claffey was Louis Blodgett. Both men escaped from the car after it had reached the bottom of the pond and were able to swim to the shore The injured, includ- ing MT. Cooley, were taken to St. Marys Hospital where first aid was administered to MT. Cooley by a member of the house interne Staff. His right femur was brok- en and upon admission his condi ton was considered desperate and he was given a transfuSion of blood at once. On the 20th of August the fracture was reduced and he was treated frequently for the break which did not make a good recovery.
 He died on September II, 1897 from probable pulmonary em- bolism, as a result of an operation for the open reduction of the fracture of the right femur.
 I find that said death was caused from pulmonary embolism resulting from an operation to reduce a fracture of the right femur, received when deceased struck by the automobile operated by Edward A. Claffey when the car got out of control on Lake wood road on August ', 1887, crashed through the fence and struck MT. Cooley as it crashed jn- to the lake et Lakewood. but that said death was not caused by any criminal act, omission or careless ness on the part of said Claffey

Thus potently supported and OPP
