Federal Probe Held On Near Sea Tragedy
Hartford Girl Heroine in Rescue of B Companions From Overturned Cruiser-LOcaI Youth Aboard Boat

An investigation has been opened by the federal government into the capsizing of the cruiser "Starllte" Sunday night in Long Island Sound, which resulted in no fatalities, thanks to the courageous efforts of Miss Cynthia M. Chapin Of Hart ford. According to Capt. Arthur Doollttle of Stony Creek, who was piloting the ship, the cause Of it's Overturning was that members of the party of 34 climbed atop the cabin contrary to his orders. One of the local survivors, Edward P Moran, of 497 Highland avenue, has expressed a different opinion. He says there were no more couples on the top Of the cabin than the cap- tain had told them could safely ride up there. He attributed the scapsizing to the combined effect of wind and waves.
 Meanwhile Miss Chapin, who swam third of a mile before she succeeded in attracting the attention of a tug piloted by Captain John E. Bunnell, and effected the rescue of all the members of the party, has been honored by the presentation of a gold watch as the gift of Hartford jeweler. and has declined an invitation from Roy Chapman Andrews to become a member of the Order of Adventures

sonal safety before that of the g others. Miss Eleanor Anderson of Leete's Island told officials of the U. s. steamboat inspection service that Doolittle made no efforts to aid the passengers noundering about in the water near the capsized boat. Philip Crowell of Madison added his testimony that Doolittle hastily took the first life preserver he could get for his own use. The captain denied both accusations, saying that he di- rected the passing out of life pre- servers to those of the passengers who couldn't get them for them selves, and that he put one on only after everybody else was equipped with one. He stated that the 30- foot cruiser was not overloaded or crowded.
 The City of Hartford plans more formal recognition of the heroic act of Miss Chapin, 1t was learned to- day. Congressman William Miller of Wethersfield has presented q bill in Congress asking that a medal be awarded the young heroine.

TIME FLIES! And Spring Is Just Around The Corner D a t e For Flower
 Show Announced

Dates for the 194O Interna- tional Flower Show have just been definitely announced--- March II to 16, inclusive-at Grand Central Palace New York. The big annual event will inaugurate 8 series of sea- sonal flower shows throughout the country, probably on a more extensive scale than ever before, for groups in cities large and small are scheduling q greater number than in years past. This is especially true of rose shows dated for spring, summer and autumn. The popularity of the rose in various sorts of competitive events appears to be on the in- crease. As a rule there are numerous rose classes sched- uled, no matter what month the Is held, largely because this Queen of the Garden is an ale year round queen and quite appropriate and harmonious when used in arrangements of either spring or fall flowers of varied sorts. The introduction of some splendid new varieties during the last few years is largely responsible for this in- creased interest in rose compe- tition.
 These will be prominently featured in a wide range of classes at the International Show; likewise some of the more imminent exhibits sched- uled for this fall.

The Attorney General has been asked to decide whether an act passed this year by the State Legislature, specifically placing the safety equipment, financial respon- sibility, and insurance of the pre- viously exempted vehicles under the commissions authority, did not change the situation. Members of the commission feel that this would also give them the right to levy a $l0 registration fee and $5 marker fee on the truckers, by cancelling the former exemptions.
