H. Kirkham will®present a statement of the Ihw in the matter, giving his opinion as to whether the clty is liable. Sadie and his son were delivering vegetables in Belvidere about 12:30 o'clock noon, July 31, and the father allowed the bay to go to the pool for & swim, The life guard was at din- ner at the time. The lad was elthér drowned or died as a repult of striking his head on a raft while coming up after a dive, it was stated to the.com. mittee. .

Over 300. mourners were present, some coming for the day, fome for three days and some for the entire week. . He pnid their hotel bllls and in feeding them, bought 100 chickens, he sald. Mrs. Sadis was also heard. She told the committee that if the whole United Btates was given her it would not bring back her son. . The boy fre- quently told her she woéuld not have to work long, she sald. In the original petition, the Sadis family asserts that $10,000 is not re- garded as sufficient, but is the maxi- mum allowed under the state statutes. They assert that 14 years of care, foeding and clothing cannot be repaid by $10,000. In the opening of such an amusement place rand. the invitation to the public to make use of it, there {3 an implied promisze of protection #ind hence the city is liable, the peti- tioners claim. WEAK MINDED BOYS WORKING IN MINES sajd to Have Been Inveigled From Institution and Put to Work Under- ground. Columbue, O., Nov. 24 (By Asso- clated Press)~—Possibility that a jegal battle in' Ohlo courts might provide & sequel to the spectacular ‘“rescue” of 14 former inmates of the Ohio in- stitution for the feebleminded from the bunk house of a strip mine near Turtle - Creek, Pas early yesterday, was being' considered here today. Declaring that the 14 boys had been inveigled away from the insti- tution and put to work at the mine for little pay and under unsatisfac- tory gonditiotis, representatives of the Ohio welfare department, with Penn- sylvania state police, swooped down on the workings, bundled the boys into automobiles and whisked them over.the state line into Ohio before court action to detain them might be started. While no resistance to the coup was offered at the mine, the return of the boys was followed by a statement by Frank Bentz, manager of Bentz Bros,, the Columbus firm which operates the working, to the effect that he would seek recourse in Ohlo courts. AUDIT CITY BOOKS IS PAONESSA’S PLAN No Professional Inspection Has Beén Made in at Least 12 Years, He Says. Mayor A. M. Paonessa favors an appropriation of $500 next spring for the purpose of having a thorough ‘audit of 4l the city’s books made by a professional auditor, The mayor remarked this morning that not In the 12 years that he has.been con- nected with the city government has such an audit been made, and while He 18 confident that the pecounts will he found in first class condition still he feels that it would be good bual- ness to have the books gone over, Compteoller H, L.

It came as a surprise to England where it was believed the tree stats authorities would hesitate to impose this penalty. The execution of Childers removes the most important figure in the re- publican movement in Ireland next to Mr. De Valera with whom Chil- ders, a man of strong personality, is generally eredited here with having had strong influence. Lead Revolt To Childers is ascribed perhaps the leading part in engineering the present armed revolt against the free state government, and he was known as the military strategist who planned the operations. 1t was to Childers that Winston Churehill, former colonial secfetary recently referred in a speech as “that mischevious, —murderous renegade, that Englishman who is inspired by an equal measure of hatred both for his island and for the one in Which he now has taken up his abode.” The opinion has been frequently ex- pressed in responsible quarters here that the fres state authorities could lay their hands on Eamon De Valera as they did Childers at any time they desired, but that they did not wish to do so in view of the possible after- math.” X De Valera's Threat The Dublin correspondent of the press assoclation, telegraphing early today, after pointing out that when the news became known in Dublin it would be bound to create a sensation, notes that Eamon De Valera the other day made a threat that blood would flow if Childers were exccuted.

What minor. ac- tions may grow out of the litigation, department officlals wiil not predict, but they have : indicated that the whole series of suits when complete will present one of the most sweep- ing and far reaching prosecutions ever to be instituted in the name of the federal government. It is revealed by sums to be named for recovery in the first four suits decided on that a large percentage of the total spent in these instances for camp construction during the war is held by the department of justice to be recoverable. In one case more than half of the whole tost of the camp is declared by the investigating officials to have been fraudulently ex- pended.

Liquidation of special stocks dur- ing the morning was largely counter- acted by short covering and new buying.: Bales by discouraged hold- ers and professional operations on the short side of the market were completed for the time being during the first half hour, the market there- after with few exceptions rising quite steadily. Corn Products, Cqntinental Can and Great Northern pfd. were depressed 1 to 1% points and Stand- ard Ofl of N, J. dropped 81-4. The increasing démand for high-priced rails affected the balance of the list gains running from 1 to 2 points in food, textile, steel and equipment shares.
