Torrid heat which prevailed throughout the weekend sent hum dreds of Waterburians out of the city Saturday and yesterday to seek relief. A terrific thunderstorm Sat- urday night lowered temperatures for time, but the mercury soon began to soar again.
 A new high mark for the year was set Saturday afternoon when the mercury hit 96 degrees, a half degree higher than Fridays record high. Yesterday, the highest tem- perature was 93 degrees, but hu- midity was high and scarcely 8 breath of riaseemed to stir.
 Lake resorts nearby were thronged with crowds escaping the citys heat, and ponds were meccas for hundreds of swimmers. Traffic on state highways was extremely heavy, and last night there were many delays as roads were choked with cars.
 Nine-year old John Petro, son of MT. and Mrs. Donnie Petro of 1l5 Orange street, had @ narrow escape from drowning yesterday afternoon at the Scovill pond, Woodtick. He was pulled from the water by Arthur Santilli, of 235 Tudor street, who had seen him go under. Artificial respiration was given by Robert Patrick, of g Pleasant street, and Arthur Petruzzi, of 140 Orange st., and the boy was revived. The fire department inhalator squad was summoned, and the inhalator used for a minute or two as @ precaution.
 Several parts of the city were without lights Saturday night after a bolt of lightning struck the main power station of the Connecticut Light & Power Go. Equipment was badly damaged. The rain fell h torrents, and pedestrians were forced to seek shelter.

 Extortion of One Million Dollars Annually

business in the trucking of general merchandise and perishable food- stuffs.
 May Ask Delay
 Attorney Murray was expected to seek a weeks delay in the New York trial for he said Saturday that he would return here tomorrow for the resumption of the 8-months-old Waterbury conspiracy trial. The government trial is also expected to take considerable time. Attorney Murray was excused from attending Fridays session here by Judge Ing lis, due to the press of New York affairs.
 U. s. Judge William Bondy pre- sided at the hearing today. The defendants, first to be indicted un- der the 1884 law, are also represent ed by U. s. Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, who contends that Congress never intended the Copeland anti-racketeering act to apply against labor organizations.
 Convictions on each of the five counts of the two indictments would mean possible prison sentences of fl years and fines totalling $50,000 for each person. John Harlan Amen, special assistant to the at torney general, directed the grand jury inquiry which led to the in- dictments. He will also prosecute the case.
 Shakedown Alleged
 Business men in seven eastern states complained of the tactics of the truckers who are under indict- ment. The indictments claimed that the defendants, including of- ficers and members of local 807, In- ternational Brotherhood of Team sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers of America, met trucks of out-of- town shippers at the city limits and compelled them to pay $9.42 for local 807 driver, whether he was needed or used.
 Shakedowns of from $1,000 to $l00,O00 from shippers and truck owners for the privilege of operating without interference are also charg- ed.

 Forgers were so skilled in one case that they were able to change the figures on the serial number of a bond that could not be detected even with a high-powered micro scope, yet when photographed with unframed light the obliterated num- bers were revealed. A western sheriff sometime ago was concerned over the large number of chicken GOODS which were being raided by maraud- ing dogs. He suspected 4 dogs and secured specimens of the hair of each, which were forwarded to the FBI Laboratory together with hairs found in the chicken coops. Scient- ists made their comparisons with high powered microscopes. The killer dog was identified.
 That the Crime Laboratory main- tains a reference collection of hairs from every known type of animal in the United States.
