Lack of prosecution witnesses
and failure to state a case
against Fire Chief Stanley Shaw
at his civil service hearing on
Wednesday, brought about dis
missal of the case and the order
to return to his post as chief.
Shaw was recently suspended for
80 days by Mayor Glenn Wright
for failing to attend three
fires" The conflagrations in
question occurred within 40 min

japanese Continue
South China Retreat;
Quit Naval Base
Widespread Withdrawals
Voluntary, Toxic Says;
Chinese Claim Victory

By the Associated Press.
HONG KONG, Nov. 5.-Indica-
tons increased today that the jap
anese army is shortening its lines
drastically by withdrawing from
several occupied zones, especially in
South and Central China.
The abandonment of its zone of
occupation in Kwangsi Province,
South China, apparently was just
about completed and Chinese COL
umns following the retreating Jap
anese were said to be approaching
Yamchow, Kwangtung Province,
port through which the japanese in
Kwangsi were supplied.
Just off the coast the Japanese
abandoned Waichow, an island
they had used as naval base.
Withdrawals Are Widespread.
Chinese dispatches yesterday re-
ported, without independent con-
firmation, that similar Withdrawals
were in preparation in the Chung
shan district, across the Pearl River
estuary from Hong Kong; from the
port of Swatow, northeast of Hong
Kong. and from Yochow, strategic
river port in Northern Human Prov
tnce, southwest of Hankow.
Last week the japanese were re-
ported cutting Ichang, on the
Yangtze River, west of Hankow high
water mark of their Yangtze Valley
drive.
Chinese reports had it that the
majority of Japan's garrison in
Canton. chief city of South China,
might be leaving and that several
Japanese firms there were preparing
to close.
Last week the japanese South
China command announced 1t was
thdrawin ng from Manning,
Kwangsi capital. The explanation
was that the acquisition of air and
army bases in French Indo-China,
from which the Burma road and
other Chinese supply routes could
be bombed, made it unnecessary to
retain the Kwangsi zone.
japanese Quitting Hong Kong.
Chinese reports said all Japanese
troops from Kwangsi would be with
drawn either into French 1ndo-
China or to the Kwangtung coast
within 48 hours. There has been
no indication whether the others
were going home or to other theaters
of war.
Chinese spokesnen have denied
the Japanese claim that the
Kwangsi withdrawal, for instance,
was voluntary and pointed out that
Manning was abandoned few days
after strong Chinese forces launched
an offensive.
Departure of Japanese residents
from Hong Kong has been acceler-
ated. More than so Japanese, in
cluding families of the Japanese
consular staff, boarded liner yes
terday.
In Chungking the Central Daily
News, organ of the Chinese govern

Withdrawals might be in preparation

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 5.-The
sailors union of the Pacific today
asked Secretary Perkins and the
National Advisory Defense Council
for aid in settling the month-old
coastal freighter strike.
Shipowners were accused, in tele-
grams sent to Washington officials,
of locking out the seamen and re-
fusing to negotiate, thus using
this lockout of American seamen
for political purposes and absolute
ly against national defense"
"They have protected themselves
financially" the sailors charged,
"by diverting cargo to intercoastal
ships, thus prolonging the tie-up
until they starve us out. Our men,

feeling that if shipowners do not

The details Of what happened at
the scene are clear from the tes-
timOny q q number Of witnesses.
The factories in the vicinity were
Just closing and the square was
heavily trafilicked by pedestrians
and motor vehicles at the time.
However, before the said fire en-
CINE approached it had been
stopped, as aforesaid. and the road
way was clear Of moving trafic,
both motor vehicle and pedestrian
trafic. A few moments before the
fatal accident the FIRE chiefs au-
tomobile went through, followed
q brief time later by a motor patrol
car Of the Waterbury police de-
partment.
Deceased apparently failed to
take note Of the nature Of the sit
uation and regarded it as one ia
vorable to crossing, which he pro-
Nceeded to do, escaping the notice
Of the officers in charge as he
proceeded the few steps from the
curb to the point out on the high
way, where he was struck as afore-
said, some "a feet north Of the
above mentioned crosswalk.
Reasonable Speed
The driver, Murphy, was pro-
ceeding at q reasonable rate of
speed, only about IS miles per
hour, and stopped within short
distance after swerving left as far
as he could under the conditions
mentioned above. When the seat
Of the vehicle passed French he
was only about feet from it, and
thereafter deceased failed to alter
his course or pace but walked into
the right middle, or slightly to the
rear Of the Swerving fire engine,
the contact being very slight but
sufficient to hurl deceased force
ably upon his head to the pave

I find that the said William

On November ~, 1899, between
4:05 and 4:10 p. m, a fire engine
known as the V-type, Auxiliary,
American La France, booster
pumper, Of the Waterbury Fire
Department, proceeded up North
Main Street in answer to a fire
alarm, on the way to q brush fire
on upper Hin Street. The vehicle
was being operated by Leonard j.
Murphy, q fireman Of the Water
bury Fire Department regularly
assigned to driving said fire en-
CINE. Seated beside the driver was
Walter Joy, also q fireman Of the
Waterbury Fire Department. The
machine was equipped with q siren
operated by stepping upon a pedal,
and was being sounded by Joy in
termittently; when Joy stepped on
it, it sounded loudly and as 1t died
down the siren operator would
step ON It again. AS the engine
approached the intersection Of
Bishop Street. traffic was at a
standstill in the locality. Sergeant
George Gooding stationed himself
ct Bishop Street, together with
Patrolman Frank Smith, and held
up traffic in all directions there;
Patrolman Carl HeSpelt was sta
toned at North Main and North
Elm streets, and held up traffic
coming from the various streets
located there and coming into
North Sque' g so-called, Just north
Of Bishop Get.
Stepped From Curb
As the fire engine approached
there was line of south bound
traffic extending some distance up
North Main street on the west
erly side. There was q crosswalk
at Bishop street extending from
the easterly curb Of North Main
street, and q few cars parked at
the easterly curb north Of said
crosswalk. Deceased stepped from
the easterly curb and walked
briskly into the street with head
down and looking neither right
nor left. Murphy saw him first
over the top Of parked car some
is feet away and when he got al.
most on top Of deceased, and It
appeared deceased would not alter
his course or stop, Murphy swerved
to his left as far as he could,
without striking against the sta
tionary south bound traffic, but
deceased was struck by the right
side Of the truck near the middle
or rear, o slight contact but which
hurled him violently to the pave

not aware that deceased had been
struck but stopped about Is feet
beyond. Policemen and others
rushed to the assistance Of de-

to proceed on to the fire.
