TWO MOTIONS ARE
 BEING CONSIDERED

Boston, July 26-(UP)-Two mo- tions, seeking dismissal of the New Haven Railroads petition for aban- donment of 88 stations on subsidiary old colony lines, were under advise ment by the Massachusetts Public UtlitYes Commission today, pending the filing of briefs and presenta- ton of oral arguments Sept. IA.
 The motions were filed late yester- day by Assistant Attorney-Gen Edward A. Pecce after a lengthy hearing before the commission on the railroads petition.
 One motion was based on grounds that the railroad trustees had failed to disclose amounts of revenue from freight service on three old colony lines serving Cape Cod and south- eastern Massachusetts. The other contended similar information had been withheld concerning passenger revenues in that territory.
 Whether the commission might not be held in contempt of court II 1t dismissed the petition or ordered restoration of service at the 88 sta- tions already closed by order of the U. s. District Court of Connecticut.
 The U 8. circuit of appeals has is- sued an injunction which Mckeown believed restraints the commission from issuing orders in this connec' ton pending U. s. Supreme Court decision on the Att0rney.u uenerali appeal from the district court ruling

Grindstone, Me-, July 26. - (UP) - A mother and the son she had given up for dead were reunited on an isolated riverbank near here today af- ter the boy had emerged from a mountain wilderness where he had lived for nine days on wild berries.
 God bless you, dear," cried Mrs. Dom Fender, wife of a Rye, N. Y, manufacturer, as she rushed to the side of her son, Dom, Jr., when they met half mile up the east branch of the Pe- nobscot River.
 The boys response was drowned in the chorus of cheers that came from over 200 persons who had fol- lowed Mrs. Fender up-river when she left Grindstone to avoid the crowds of curious.

SUBWAY BOMBS
 HURT FOURTEEN
Latest London Accident Is Blamed on IRA
 TerrOrists

London, July 26. -- (UP) - An explosion in the Kings Cross Sub- way Station, attributed to Irish Re- publican Army terrorists, injured IA or more persons today.
 Eleven victims were taken to the Royal Free Hospital and three to St. Pancras Hospital.
 The bombing was considered an Ira answer to the governments drive for enaction of drastic anti-terror- ist legislation. It occurred while numerous suspects were fleeing to Ireland in anticipation that the bill would become law, possibly next week.
 The explosion occurred in the parcel room, a wooden structure op- posite the main entrance to the sta- ton and separted from 1t by drive way.
 Two attendants, a porter, one man traveller and two women were injured badly. The room was wrecked and was strewn with smashed suitcases, bicycles and packages. A passerby was cut by glass. The chauffeur of a car parked outside and woman, passenger were injured slightly.
 A police sergeant outside was cut by glass.
 The bombing was one of many out rages attributed to the Ira in recent months. Sir John Simon told parlia- ment last week that 127 outrages had occurred since last January.
 Hoares statement, including dec- laration that foreign (presumably German organizations were sup porting the terrorists, was in con- nection with speedy passage of a bill giving police greater powers to curb the terrorists.
 A large force of Scotland Yard operatives came to the scene. Crowds gathered as smoke poured out of the station.
 The bombing was the first out rage attributed the Ira since Sir Samuel Hoare, home secretary, told the House of Commons the govern ment had been informed the Ira was plotting to blow up the parliament buildings.
 Sir Samuel said the Ira previously had made some attempt to avoid loss of life, but that in its new terror campaign, 1t intended to be ruth less

SETTLEMENT OF
 LABOR WAR GONE
CIO Plan to Organize Con. structiOn Workers Blow
 at A. F. of L.

Washington, July 26.-(UP).-The Congress of Industrial Organiza tons was believed today to have preclud- ed any possibility of peaceful set- clement of its quarrel with the Am- erican Federation of Labor by an- nouncing a plan to organize all con- struction workers into huge in- dustrial union.
 Although CIO President John L. Lewis did not mention the federal ton by name, his disclosure was widely interpreted as meaning that he plans an attempt to devitalize tEt AFL'; richest, most influential unions and enlist their membership under his banner.
 Building and construction work CTS long have been organized on a craft, rather than an industrial basis, and have made tremendous contributions to the AFL's war chest for its fight with the CIO for su- premacy among organized labor groups. For years the building trades have been the AFL stronghold.
 Year-old peace talks, seeking to effect peace between the AFL and CIO have heen in abeyance for two months, and the CLOS newly-affrm- ed militancy was believed tc have ended any possibility of their re- sumption.
 Lewis announcement said that less than one-third of the 5000, ,000 workers in the building trades now are organized, and the CIO. in in- dertaking the new drive, which starts Aug. 1, is only yielding to thousands of requests" that 1t step

REFUND ON FEES , RULED ILLEGAL

Hartford, Conn, July 26-(UP)- The Attorney General ruled today state boards cannot refund fees made by applicants for jobs who fail to appear for examinations.

 The opinion was sent to State Fi- nance Commissioner Olin Glenn Saxon.
 Rago stipulated, however, that an additional fee should not be charged the applicant who failed to appear at the original examination date. If he sought another examination lat CT.
 The opinion was given after the Connecticut Medical Examining board asked an allotment to make several refunds of $25 to applicants who did not take examinations.

 Here and there I find signs of good will, revealing a desire to ameli- crate the atmosphere" Burkhardt said. If we consider Danzig an isolated case, we can say there is no reason for conflict her."

ERROR IS FOUND
 IN DECISION
$643 Damage Award Here Not Upheld-New Trial
 Is Ordered

Finding that former Common Pleas Court Judge Edward J. Finn applied too strict a rule" with re- gard to the requirements of light ing in the Palace theater, Water bury, the supreme court of errors today found error in his decision awarding $643 damages to Frances Miller, who was injured in fall at the theater, November 27, 1887.
 A new trial is ordered. "One oper- ating a theater is not an insurer of the absolute safety of the patrons" the high court comments. "rhe duty assumed is to use reasonable care in the construction, equipment and management of 1t, having re- gard to the character of the enter tainment given and the customary conduct of the persons attending"
 Justice George E. Hinman wrote the opinion, to which the other justices concurred. He found that the plaintiff entered the theater and her sister entered the theater as patrons and seleced seats in the rear row, which is elevated seven and one half inches above the aisle. After seeing the show, they started to leave, and in stepping from the platform to the aisle she missed her footing and fell.
 while the complaint includes several specifications of negligence the record indicates that the ele- ment relied on at the trial and upon which the award of damages was predicated was inadequacy of light ing at the place where the fall oc- cured" the decision states.
 It is stated by Justice Hinman that the light at the place where the plaintiff sat was brighter than in places where she had sat on former visits to the theater. A com-

Justice Dept Had Secured Indictments Against
 Medical Group
ORGANIZED MEDICINE
 SEEN IN BIG VICTORY.
Appeal to Supreme Court By Government Assumed
 By Justice Dept Officials

Washington, July 26. = (UP) - Justice James M. Proctor of the District of Co- lumbia federal court today dismissed the government an- thrust proceedings against the American Medical Asso- citation. He held that the practice of medicine is a pro fession and that the Sher- man Antitrust Act does rot apply to 1t. The act, he said, applies only to businesses and trades. The Department of Justice had obtained indictments against the ANA. three other medical orr ganizations and 2l prominent phy- sicians on the grounds that they had conspired to restrain trade by fighting a group system of medical care at flat monthly charges.
 Demurrer Sustained
 Today's action sustained the AMAs demurrer to the indictment. Unless Justice Proctor's ruling Is reversed by Q higher court, 1t will have the effect of closing the case in favor of organized medicine.
 The government acted when the Group Health Association, Inc, protested that the District of Col-. umbia Medical society was discrim- mating against it. The group was formed here to provide low-cost medical care, especially for the low CT income groups. It found that certain hospitals and doctors re- fused to accept patients referred to them by the groups own doctors.
 The government investigated cir. cumstances of this alleged discrim. nation for eight weeks and then presented the case to the grand jury here. The indictments fol- lowed.
 Medicine Always Regulated
 In arguing against the demurrer which the Medical Association promptly filed the government as- serted that Anglo American law reaching back to the 18th century, had regulated medicine by the same laws as those applying to any trade. Trade, the department of justice attorneys declared, includes every occupation in which money is hab- itually received, under contract, in return for some value given.
 The ANA counsel contended that this definition of trade was too broad and If applied would encom- pass all business and professions to the point of destroying all human activity" Such broadening of pow CT, the ANA contended, was con- trary to common law and the Am- erican Constitution. The group ar- gued that medicine wss a profess sion, not a trade, and therefore does not come under the scope of the Sherman trade restraint act. That was the contention that Justice Proctor upheld.
 Others Named
 The other organizations named in the indictment were the District of Columbia Medical society, the Har- ris County (Houston, TeX) Medical society and the Washington Aca- demy of surgery.

Justice Pope, on recommendation oI Grand Juror Flynn, June 27, 1889, claims that they acted "maliciously and corruptly" and that they "at all times referred to had no jurisdic- ton of the person. subject matter, and process and all acts of theirs were unlawful and illegal"
 Decision Reversed
 Superior Court Judge Robert L.. Munger reversed the decision of Jus tice Pope June 30, when acting on motion of Attorney Tobin, he dis charged the plaintiff on a writ of habeas corpus.
 The complaint, filed today by Att torney Tobin, sets forth the alleged fact that Gmitrzak was arraigned .n the Watertown court on a charge o1 theft from persons and assault.
 Fined, Sentenced
 Upon his plea of not guilty he was found guilty, fined $25 and costs of $24.80, and sentenced to 30 days in jail, with the sentence suspended. He appealed from that judgment to the court of common pleas of Litchfleld county and posted bonds the following day.
 Despite that appeal, the complaint states, Gmitrzak was summoned be- fore Justice Pope, June 27, and at that time Grand Juror Flynn made g motion that the Judgment be re- opened, and that the suspension Of the 30 days sentence be revoked and that Gmitrzak be sent to jail for 30 days.
 Without Jurisdiction
 Attorney Tobin, who was present. according to the complaint, argued that an appeal had been taken and that, therefore, the court was with out jurisdiction, and that any action taken by Pope or Flynn would be il- legal and without authority of the law" .. The complaint states that Grand Juror Flynn, nevertheless, malici- ously and corruptly", urged Justice Pope to reopen the case and revoke
