Death P e alty Was Mandatory Under New
 Florida Law MCCALL MAY DIE
 IN WEEK OF JUNE 20 Appeal From Verdict Not Expected-GOv. Could
 Halt Execution

Miami, Fla, June 16.-UP) - Circuit Judge H. F. Atkin. son today sentenced Frank lin Pierce Mccall to die in the electric chair for kidnap- ing five year old Jimmy Cash. The sentence repre- sented one of the most rapid applications of Florida jus-s tice since Giuseppe Zangara was sentenced to death for assassinating Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago. The death sentence was announced 1g days after the blue-eyed boy was Kidnapped from his crib and acci- dentally smothered with handker. chiefs knotted over his face.
 Judge Atkinson left fixing of the exact date for McCall's execution to Gov. Fred P. Cone of Florida, who must sign the death warrant. He was expected to set the date for the week of June %.
 Death Sentence Mandatory
 It was mandatory upon the white- haired jurist to pronounce the death penalty. Mccall had pleaded guilty to Kidnapping for ransom and Judge Atkinson, who heard the states evi- dence and McCalls supporting story, said state law required him to order the 2l-year old youth executed. Under the Florida Kidnapping law, which parallels the Federal Lind- bergh statute. lighter sentence h possible only when recommended di- rectly by trial jury. In the Me- Call case, however, no jury was iIl1- paneled since he had entered a plea of guilty and Atkinson had no ale formative but imposition of the death death sentence.
 The gangling farmland, who is the son and brother of ministers, listened stolidly and displayed no emotion as he heard himself sens fenced to death.
 He did not say a word during tho four minutes he stood before Judge Atkinson to hear the judgment.
 Under Heavy Guard
 Mccall was brought into Judge Atkinson's court under heavy guard at 10 a. m. As he stood to hear the sentence. Judge Atkinson cau- toned spectators to make no deims onstration.
 I'll say to all present that this is very solemn matter, very se- rious matter" he said to the 15o persons in the court. T prefer that there should be no demonstration by way of applause or disapprovai or anything else"

Durango, Colo, June 16--(UP)-- Leslie Hanna, l6, had fun today getting water out of faucet, press ing electric light buttons and talk ing to guardians of his jail cell about city sights.
 The fact that he was in Jail for shooting and critically wounding his closest friend was of no imnie- diate concern to him. It was the first time he had ever seen so many automobiles or 50 many people.
 Durango, high in the picturesque Ia Plata range of the Rockies. is Q town of 5000 population. It Is the county scat of La Plata county. a wild. primitive mountain section many visitors are inclined to com pare with the Swiss Alps.

But the proposition presented by the aldermanic committee which would see immediate employment of Griffenhagen and Associates to devise not only current economies in city affairs but to outline the budget for 1899. is not expected to reach final agreement at the finance board meeting. The Democrat learned from reliable source. Opinion is divided, 1t was reported, over the advisabilityA of immediate employment of the audit firm.
 Hear Recommendation
 One of the most important meet ings of the current year, the fi- nance board today will hear from Mayor Frank Hayes on the com mittee of the boards recommenda- tions relating to slashes in the budget outline. Mayor Hayes will report on information gathered from departmental heads on possibility of adding to the economies recom- mended by the committee headed by Comsr. Major w. Judge which al- ready calls for a minimum slashing of estimates of this years expendi- lures of $l26,000. This in addition to the 10 per cent salary cut of city employees by which saving of about $200,000 is provided for stipulated benefit of the welfare department.
 Members of the finance board are agreed that the city faces 8 crisis which calls either for cut of all ex- penditures to an indispensable mini- mum or the levy of a special tax. The latter possibility is being con- sidered only as last resort ana the sentiment of the board reflecGs the attitude of taxpayers that such im- position of additional taxation dur ing the present doldrums of business would be most serious hardship. Act at Once
 While some of the commissioners tend to be optimistic regarding the attempt by economies to balance the currently out-of-line budget and end the year without a deficit, there are others who believe that the city should act at once to employ & firm of experts to reorganize city af- fairs for now. and for the future. One stumbling block of such pro- posal. in addition to the cost of es- timated 5000 a month as offered by 0riffenhagen & Associates to the aldermanic committee, would be the time element, 1t was indi- cated.
 Should the audit be set to work immediately, 1t is dubious whether any well-devised plan for economies affecting the current year, would be

 Federal Position STATE ADMINISTRATOR
 TAXES EXCEPTION Replies to Local Criticism; Kelly Formerly Held
 Position

Appointment of Martin J. Dunn as WPA sponsors s agent for the City of Water bury is in no way connected with the WPA and MT. Dunn serves as a city employe, was the statement issued today from the office of Vincent J. Sullivan, State WPA director at New Haven. WPA officials took exception to criticism in Waterbury that MT. Dunn had been appointed to "a position of trust in the WPA and that by his action Mayor Hayes had definitely placed the WPA on record as mak- ing political game out of human misery" the communication from New Haven pointed out.
 MT. Dunn will serve as city employe," the statement contin- ued. land will have no control over WPA employment or project opera ti0n, merely serving as representa- tive of the city in negotiations with the federal organization which em- ploys more than 1,200 eligible Wa terbury workers"
 It was pointed out by WPA off, cials that they have no jurisdiction over MT. Dunn nor were they con- sulted concerning Q successor to the former sponsors agent, Executive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly.
 The report was current here that F7ughJ. Loughlin, anAcmploye in the engineering department, has been serving as agent for the city, although the city, itself. actually is the sponsor of local WPA operations. Secretary Kelly remarked that he had served as sponsors agent. with out salary. and that MT. Loughlin served in the capacity of inspector of materials, both city and govern mental.
 MT. Loughlin had been an em- ploye of the engineering department for some time. City Engineer Charles A. Root remarked, before the ap- pointment a few days ago of MT. Dunn as WPA sponsors agent. He explained that the appointment of a sponsors agent is 8 requisite to the WPA program of the city for which approval currently is being sought at Washington and which must be provided If federal funds
