City Manager PLan
Official Copies of Pro- posed Changes Re- ceived Here
 Features In-
 spected.

Official copies of the proposed city manager charter and administrative code were being studied by local political leaders today, after having been filed in the state senate at Hartford yesterday. The bill calling for a referendum on the charter, already passed in the house, comes up in the state senate next Tues-' day.
 Many Changes
 Numerous changes have been made in the text of the charter since it was originally filed at Hart ford in January. One of the most important alterations is the pro- vision that the seven members of the board of education shall be elected, rather than appointed by the city manager. as provided in the originally draft.
 The date of the proposed refer endum has also been changed, now being set down for Oct 3. Originally the bill called for the referendum to be held on the third Tuesday af- ter passage of the measure and sign ing by the governor.
 Under the charter the only per- sons elected would be the members of the board of education and seven members of the city council. The mayor, who have little or no power would be chosen ml the city council from it's own membership. Virtually all city power would be vested in the city manager.
 Special Law
 The administrative cooe, which provides mainly for operation of the charter, would comprise the first chapter of the municipal code. The code would serve as a special law for five years, and no provisions could be repealed or modified dur ing that period except by the leg islature. Additions to the code could be made by five-sevenths vote of the city council.

Fatal Auto Accident
 Occurred March 9th On I 7homaston Avenue
Official Finding Today Exonerates J. Coleman Mala Victim of Mishap Struck While Crossing Street;
 Stepped Into Path of Machine Claims Coroner

Acting Coroner William B. Hen- nessey in an inquest filed today in Superior court dissolved Coleman Malia of 254 Boyden street, Water vile, in the death Of James Healey, World War veteran, of IS Chapel street, Waterville, who was fatally injured on March when struck by an automobile driven by Malia.
 The acting coroner examined four witnesses, including Malia, to determine whether the death was caused by criminal act, omission, or carelessness.
 The finding states that Healey was walking across Thomaston avenue at a point opposite the Methodist church in Waterville shortly before midnight when Malia was approaching in northerly direction, at about 30 miles an hour The driver applied his brakes, the finding states, when he was at safe distance from the deceased, and continued at slower speed when Hea1ey stopped in the middle of the road, as if intending to let the driver pass. Healey was struck when he darted forward again into the path of the car at a distance to close for the driver to stop, although he im- mediately applied his brakes. The coroner's finding follows:
 On March 6, 1899, at about :45 D. m., the deceased was walking across Thomaston avenue in Wa terville from the westerly towards the easterly curb, at point about opposite the Methodist church and aboupt 150 feet north of the in- tersection of Homer street and Thomaston avenue. At said time and place Coleman Malia ap- preached, operating his 1883 Ply mouth sedan in northerly di- rection on the right or easterly side of said Thomaston avenue.
 Malia was proceeding at a speed of about thirty miles per hour and applied his foot brakes, which were in good condition, when he was safe distance from Healey. AS he did so Healey stopped at about the center of the road, seemingly with the intention of allowing Malia to pass, whereupon MHlia released his foot brake and ceRtinued O. at a slower speed. Deceased then suddenly started

Italian Repub lican League to Campaign Actively Against
 M e a asure's
 Adoption.

Paving the way for expected sim liar announcements by other local political organizations, Michael M. JAnthony, president of the Ital- ian-Republican League, announced today that his organization will do everything in its power to prevent the establishment of a city man. ager form of government in Water bury.
 If the General Assembly at Hart ford should pass the bill placing the question before the people at spec ial election this fall, MT. J'Anthony said, the Italian Republican League will openly and actively campaign for votes against the proposed city manager charter.
 Rectnly Formed
 The league, formed only few months ago, has already shown con- siderable political strength, and may play an important role in the city manager fight if a referendum is held in Waterbury. At & recent din- ner sponsored by the league, many state and local G. O. P. leaders were guests.
 AS soon as the referendum bill passes, if it does, the league will map plans for a city-wide cam- paign against adoption of the char ter. The drive would be centered on Italian-American voters, many of whom feel that city manager form of government would be harm full to them.
 Today's statement by Mir. J'An- thony is the second step taken by the league against the city man. ager plan. Some time ago the league adopted a lengthy resolution con- demning the city manager system, and sent copies of the resolution to the legislature.
 More Opposition
 Opposition to the charter propos- ed by the Citizens Good Govern ment association is also expected from many other racial groups, both Republicans and Democrats.
 The party leaderships have as yet made no public statements on the proposed charter, but the general understanding is that both Republi- cans and Democratic organizations will battle against adoption of the charter, if referendum is called for.

GIRLS CONFESS
 STARTING FIRE
$2O,OO0 Loss Resulted From Children Playing
 With Matches

The $20,000 South Main street fire last Tuesday was accidentally set by two grammar school girls, it was re- vealed today by Fire Marshal Den Lahey, after completing investiga- tions.
 The two children, and T years old, were playing in the rear of AL bert's furniture store, according to the marshal, when they found a book of matches, and one of the tots struck one and threw it. The match landed on a pile of scrap paper which started to blaze, and was swiftly out of control, despite the efforts of the girls to check it with a heavy piece of cardboard.
 Shortly afterward the fire was discovered by John Tammany, an employe of Albert's, but it had al-

forward again toward the easterly curb and directly in front of ,Mala's car. Malia applied his foot brake again, immediately on being confronted with this situation, but was then too close to stop, and Healey was struck by the front bumper a d radiator grille of the Malia car.
 Malia was a duly dicensed op- orator and was proceeding at a reasonable rate of speed, only about 20 miles an hour, having slowed his car to that speed by the first aforementioned appli- cation of his foot brakes. Malia applied his foot brake the first time only momentarily, due to the fact that deceased then stopped at about the center of the high way as aforesaid.
 Thomaston avenue at that point is 30 feet wide from curb to curb.
 Malia was proceeding on the right or easterly side of the road and had ample, room to go by until deceased suddenly moved across again and directly in front of the Malia car. Malia applied his brake again immediately but was then almost upon Healey and could not stop.
 Deceased was removed imme- diately to the Waterbury hospital in a passing car. He was admitted to said hospital at 11:40 p. m., March 6, 1889, and died at said hospital five minutes later, at 11;45 p. m., March 6, 1899.
 I find that the death of said James Healey was caused by lacer- ated liver, with exsanguinating, intraperitcneal subdural hemor- rhage, crushed right chest, with hemopneumothorax and other in- juries, but that said death was not due to criminal negligence on the part of the operator of the car, the said Coleman Malia."

 The story was revealed by the parents of the children after con- ferring with the marshal, and fire authorities later discussed the mat ter with officials at the school where the girls are pupils.
 Steel stars must replace the old wooden stairways of the tenement, according to notification received yesterday by Abraham Lichenstein, owner of the damaged block.
 The pile of debris in the rear of the building smouldered last night, and the auxiliary engine from head quarters was sent to the scene where firemen soaked the pile.

Purcell's Statement
 Reveals Ambitions
Observers Believe Acting Controller Receptive to
 Place on Republican Ticket in Coming Election

A statement issued last night by Acting Controller James P. Purcell was taken today by political observ- CTS to mean that he is not at all re- luctant to run for public office. MT. Purcell says in the statement that he would not care to run on ticket against his superior, Controller Sherwood Rowland, thereby drop ping the broad hint that he might run on the same ticket with Mr. Rowland or might be candidate for office if, for any reason, MT. Rowland should withdraw from the field of active politics.
 Trial Balloon"
 One interpretation of the Purcell statement is that it is a "feeler" de- signed to test sentiment for a pos sible Republican ticket which would have Controller Rowland as the candidate for mayor and MT. Pur- cell as the nominee for controller
 Though MT. Purcell is registered as Democrat, such slate has been freely discussed in G. O. P. circles. However, opposition has developed to having Mir. Rowland head the ticket, and several other candidates are being more prominently men, toned as Republican mayoralty candidates. Among this group are former Governor Charles A. Tenn pleton, Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson, Judge Theobald E. Conway and Major John M. Bur rall.
 MT. Purcell's name was discussed as Independent Democratic candi- date for controller at an outing of the Independent Democratic club Sunday. It was this that prompted MT. Purcell's statement.

trial, MT. Purcell appeared as one of the chief witnesses for the state, spending several weeks on the stand. He was the only member of the staff of former Controller Daniel J. Leary retained when MT. Rowland took office.
 MT. Purcell's statement follows:
 Tt is pleasant to know that there are Waterbury citizens who are ad- vancing my name for elective office.
 However, much as I appreciate this gesture of their interest in me, I wish it known that would never run for an office or on a ticket in opposition to the present controller, Sherwood l.. Rowland.

A LITTLE LATER

But we were curious about CIO views on this annual wage business. Many, persons have held the idea that if building trades workers would accept an annual wage rate and do more work per year at less hourly pay they would contribute toward building revival This is the idea :: A carpenter gets SIP day. But. labor statistics indicate, he works, on an average, only enough to bring in $1,200 a year. That is about five months work.
 If an employer would guarantee him 10 months work at $8 a day, he would receive about $1,700. AFL has been suspicious that the main result of the scheme would be to cut wages to $8 day and the yearly guarantee would go up the chimney.
 Denny indicates CIO feels about the same way on that. He said he would look a long time at the con- tract and at the contractor before agreeing.
 We may look into that" he said, when we have gone farther along the road"

 Since hot breads generally attract attention, divert your guests from the skimpiness of a meal by whisking up batch of scenes, raisin mullins, nut gems or bran stick. Loads of hot buttered biscuits with sy- rup, honey or jelly are grand filters. and you will have an opportunity to make them.
