s9O,oOO ESTATE.
 IS lNvENTORIED
Stock Holdings of Late Alice Gertrude Field
 Extensive (

Extensive stock holdings make up the bulk of the estate of the late Alice Gertrude Field, according to an inventory filed with Judge Pat rick Healey in probate court today. The estate was valued at $90,011.O6.
 Miss Field, who died November 16, 1899, owned stock in 29 different companies. Her holdings included stocks in Connecticut firms as well as in a number of nationally known businesses. t
 Her will, admitted to probate sev- eral weeks ago, left most of her es- tate to an adopted son, Richard Field. Jewelry was left to sister, Emily Field Kellogg. The adopted son Is to receive all other personal effects and real estate. The will di- rected the establishment of trust fund from the residue of the estate, with Richard Field to receive one- third of the principal at the age of 25, then half the remaining prin- cipal at 35. The half then remain ing is to go to his heirs, but if he makes no bequests that amount is to be shared by St. Margaret's school, Waterbury hospital, Con- necticut Humane society, South- mayd home and the Junior Repub- lie.
 Miss Field, a native of Waterbury, was graduate of st. Margaret's school and the Emma Willard school at Troy, N. Y. She was prominent member of St. Johns Episcopal church. H
 Real estate at Grove and Linden streets is valued at $12000. Prop erty at Litchf1eld is listed at $6,600, and another piece of real estate in the same town is valued at $525.
 A bank account at the Waterbury National bank contained $1,898.02, and one at the former West Side Savings bank of $870.24.

GLASS BOOT MAY SAVE BOYS TOES

Littleton, N. H., Feb. 7-UP)-- A $500 glass "boot" may save the four frostbitten toes on the right foot of Webster N. Jones, Jr., 20, of Pittsburgh, Pa, rescued Sunday after being lost nearly 30 hours on Mt. Washington.
 The instrument, used to restore blood circulation, arrived last night from Rochester, N. Y, and was placed in operation at once. It was sent by a surgical instrument manu- facturer, friend of the youths fath- CT, when informed that the toes might have to be amputated.
 Dr. Charles Copenhaver, attend ing the patient, explained that an electric motor attached to the ':boot" alternately increases and re- leases pressure on the foot, forcing the blood to circulate.
 The physician said it would not be known for several days whether the instrument could save the tees

FOREIGN LOANS
 GIVEN SUPPORT
Senate Foreign Relations Group Votes to Expand
 Bank Capital

Washington, Feb. 7.-(UP).-The senate foreign relation committee today approved by a vote of 12 to 6, bill to expand the Export-Im- port banks capital by $100,000, 900 which would make possible further financial aid to Finland and China.
 The committee rejected, 13 to 5, a motion for $50,000, ,000 increase.
 It unanimously endorsed a pro- posal by Sen. Pat Harrison, D., Miss, to put congress on record as favor ing sale of Finnish government bonds among private investors in this country.
 The Export rt-Import bank measure, approved earlier by the banking and currency committee, was amended to make it possible for China to ob- tain $20,OOO,000 in addition to the $25, 100000 she already has received.
 Federal Loan Administrator Jesse Jones told reporters that negotia- tions are now underway with Chi nese officials for 8 new loan, which would be repaid through shipment of tin to the United States. China is asking for $75,O00,0OO, he said.
 Under the language approved by the banking and currency commit tee China would have been able to obtain only $5,000,000 additional. The amendment does not affect Finland's position. She already has been granted $10,O00,000, and un- der the terms of the bill could re- ceive $20,000,00O more.
 The committee voted down, 15 to 3, motion to provide a $3O,000, ,000 direct loan to Rinland, which would be used for purchases of munitions as well as agricultural supplies and manufactured products.
 The Harrison plan had no official status in the committee, but Chair man Key Pittman said that Har- rison was eager to obtain test of sentiment on it. When the, senate begins consideration of the Export Import bank bill, perhaps tomorrow, Pittsman plans to announce the committees attitude on the Harri- son proposal.
 Tt just shows further sentiment toward aiding Finland" Pittman said. "It has no bearing on the Ex- port-Import bank measure"
 Pullman said he was responsible for the change in language under which China could get further more substantial aid.
 There is 8 great desire on the part of the administration to make 8 further loan to China" he said.

Paris, Feb. 7-(UP)- A Polish government communique asserted today that an American citizen named Szczygiel and his 19-year old American citizen son were among 138 Poles execluted by Germany at the town of Wawer, near Warsaw, in reprisal for the murder of two German police.

 Throughout the night whole families were dragged from their homes and placed in groups of 10 along a fence and shot with ma- chine guns," the communique said.

l. R. A. Campaign Now at Crisis-Men Accused
 of Bombing BRITISH OFFICIALS,
 BUILDINGS GUARDED Protests Against Execu- tions Unavailing; Fear
 Felt for Relations

Birmingham, Eng, Febru- ary '. (UP) - Peter Barnes and James Richards, Irish Republican army ter roriSts, were hanged today in, Winton Green jail despite desperate appeals for elem ency from Fire and fears of murderous reprisals in Great Britain. The two youthful IriShmen died for killing five and wounding 50 persons with a bomb planted on a bicycle on the Main street of Coventry last August 25. They were hanged in the utmost secrecy in the walled prison while 500 uniformed and plain clothes policemen held back crowd of several hundred before the main prison gate.
 The executions brought a critical turn to the I. R. As bitter fight for the reunion of Fire and North Ireland, which is a part of the United kingdom.
 Worst Bombing
 The Coventry bombing was the worst in a series of outrages attri- buted to the I. R. A. extending back to January, 1889. The hangings were expected to bring renewal of this terrorism and to precipitate political crisis in Fire by driving even many of the more conservative Irishmen into the ranks of the I. R. A. out of sympathy for two new martyrs.
 Britain's war time tension was noticeably heightened. Public off cials and government buildings were under strong guard. Special watches were kept over the homes of judges who had presided at trials of I. R. A. suspects. At London, Scotland Yard men guarded govern ment offices on Whitehall and Par liamentary buildings. The metrop- olis had been kept under 6 virtual siege throughout the night, with 10000 agents of the criminal in- vestigation department supplement- ing regular uniformed and plain clothes policemen. It was reported that three bodyguards had been provided Sir John Anderson, home secretary.
 Bulletins Posted
 Two bulletins announcing the eX- cautions were posted on the prison gate at 9:07 a. m. (4:07 a. m., EST) A Catholic priest had been seen to leave the prison in an automobile at 8:30 a. m. and shortly before g, po- lice had intensified the restrictions before the prison gate.

 The two men were hanged Simul- taneously, promptly at g o'clock. As the clock chimed, men in the crowd outside barred their heads and stood stilently. A milk man continued his deliveries on the street running past the main gate.
 The crowds predominantly Irish, set up 8 murmur of excitement as the wicket gate in the main gate opened a few minutes after g and the chief warder came out and post ed the notices. It was the only ap- proach to a demonstration at the prison.

Scandinavia Resents Air. plane Warfare on Neu-
 tral Shipping
By HAROLD PETERS

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb. 7- (UP)-Resentment rose in Scandi- navia today against Germany's air. plane attacks on neutral shipping.
 There were evidences at the same time of increased Scandinavian solidarity and of growing determin- ation to aid Finland to hold off Russia's army.
 Norwegian and Danish newspap- CTS, regarded as refiec:ing strong public opinion, sharply criticised Germany's bombing and machine gunning of neutral ships.
 The important Norwegian liberal organ Tidende of Bergen demanded that the government refuse to nego- tiate 6 trade agreement with Ger many, and seemed to hint at the possibility of trade boycott, unless Norway received assurances that its trade with other nations would be respected.
 The newspaper Berlingske Tidende of Copenhagen, answering German complaint that the Danish press played up stories of the British shooting down German planes and played down German successes against British shipping, said that Germany must not expect Danes to show either sympathy or admira- tion for their campaign.
 Presentment of people throughout Norway, a United Press Bergen dis patch said, was reflected in the Tidende editorial.
 "Just about a week ago we men, toned that our policy of neutrality should not be extended so far that we should agree to being treated like dumb animals" the newspaper aid. we asked ifit was the inten- tion in official responsible quarters to do nothing. It is natural to put this question to the government, that is to say to the foreign min- ister, who is credited with being visited by a German trade delega- tion.

HOME INMATE
 DIES OF FALL
John Chipnlan Killed in BrOokside Home Plunge
 Last Night

John Chipman, "A, was killed last night when he fell several stories at the Brookside home where he was a resident since Dec. g, 1889. Death was caused by a fractured skull and crushed chest, according to Dr. Richard Hinchey, who was called.
 Authorities at the institution said they heard thud shortly after Il o'clock and discovered Chipman ly- ing at the bottom of the stairway. It is not known from which floor he plunged, but his sleeping quarters were on the top floor. He was subject to fianting spells, authorities said.
 Chipman, who has two sons, Lloyd and Hewett residing in Middletown N. r., but no relatives in Waterbury was found by Matthew Doyle, super intendent of Brookside. Official be- neve he leaned too far over a sinis- ter.
 Chipmaln, according to the well fare department, was last employed as a caretaker in December. At one time he worked for the American Brass Company.
 pr. Hinchey said the aged man was not killed immediately, but lived long enough to be taken to the etner- gency room of the home. He was dead on the physicians arrival, however.
 Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum, ned- ical examiner, was notified by Mo- tor Patrolman Frank Leary, who investigated. The case was not turned over to the coroner, but was regarded as an accident.
 The body was removed to the Null vile funeral home, 270 West Main street.
 Chipman was born in Goshen. N. Y. but had lived here most of his life, the Welfare Department said. He was committed to Brookside Dec. g by the department.
