Votes 10 Press Probe

Another section Of the firemen's
union last night expressed conf
dence in Capt. Joseph w. Conroy,
leader of a fight on the admin
stration of Fire Chief Clement
Murphy, with a vote in favor of
pressing the current investigation
of the controversy.
At previous meeting last week
at 935 G place NV. there also was
a vote of confidence for Capt. Con-
roy and other union officials.
The union meets in sections be-
cause all firemen are unable to at
tend at one time.
Capt. Conroy said the unions
action Is a re-afhrmation of its stand
last June, when he brought chargec
against Chief Murphy of demorali-
zation of the department. He made
the accusation in testimony before
House District Subcommittee.
"Well stand on the investigation" "
said Capt. Conroy.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Oliver Gasch is continuing the probe

Accidental EIectrocution
Ruled in Death Of Child, 7

A certificate of accidental death
by eleotrocution has been issued in
the case of Sharon Ann Alpers, the
2-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lowell r. Alpers, 2233 First street
NV, who was fatally injured Sep
tember 8 when she pulled an electric
fan from a window sill.
The coroner ruled yesterday that
the child was electrocuted when she
became entangled in the fan cord
as she lay in her mothers bed. Her
mother, who was out of the room
at the time, found the child un-
conscious.
The verdict had been delayed
pending an investigation of the fan
which was found to have short cir
cult. DR.. Macdonald said that the
current would not have been strong
enough to cause death if the child's
foot had not ~been resting on the
radiator at the time.

left in an aquarium in San Fran

sailors on the U. S. S. Chiffon, flag

The crabs brought to the Zoo
have six sharp claws, which natives
say are capable of opening green
coconuts. Two long, pointed eyes
bulge from their heads. Although
their diet consists mainly of COCO
nuts, vegetables and fish, they also
are capable of eating their weaker
