Auburn, Mass, Aug. 26 (UP)— Trapped for more than 20 hours at the bottom of a 40-foot well near his home on Alpine Trail, Fred Len- eau, 37, was fighting for life with the aid of a garden hose today while firemen and volunteers sought franticglly to save him. “I am growing weaker; for God’s sake, hurry,” was the latest message from the bottom of the pit in which he had become imprisoned at 7:30 last night by the caving in of a ton of rocks and earth. Leneau was digging the well when the accident occurred. Additional firemen were rushed here from Worcester today follow- ing a second cave-in which im- perilled the lives of rescuers. This cave-in undid most of the work accomplished by rescuers dur- ing an all-night struggle and it was | sinking a new | necessity to begin shaft parallel with the well. It was planned to sink the second | shaft to a depth of about 40 feet and then dig a tunnel to the little pocket that held Leneau prisoner. Though indications were that the second collapse of earth and stones had not affected Leneau, doctors at the scene predicted that unless he were reached before noon he would not leave the well alive. As the sixteenth hour of his im- prisonment passed, Leneau’s voice grew weaker and doctors on the scene said that chances were against his lving more than a few hours * longer. An oxygen tube had been forced through the cluttered mass of debris that clogged the well and threaten- ed smothering had been averted.” Efforts to remove the obstructions had been balked this morning by a cave-in which would have crushed Leneau but for a plank that had fallen across the well, leaving him a (Continued on Page 21) UIGLEY ASKS VOTE ON B1G APPROPRIATIONS Would Have People Pass on Special Ex- penditures Beliet that the sewage question or any other matter which involves ex- penditure over a certain amount of money should be left to the people to vote on on election day was ex- pressed today by ex-Mayor George A. Quigley, who with ex-Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa is leading a campaign against the use of all or a portion of a $2,000,000 bond issue for experimental work at the sewer beds Mr. Quigley is of the opinion that since the city meeting board has been abolished some provision should be thade in the charter which would provide for the vote of the people on all special appropriations such as sewage disposal plants, the widening of streets, new high school or other school buildings, and the construction of a public building, ete. He advocates a system similar to that now employed by the city of Hartford which, he said, provides for & vote on all appropriations of $25,000 or over. He said he was not certain at this time which amount should be recommended for this city. Mr. Quigley’s opinion comes a day after that of Alderman J. Gustav Johnson, republican, of the fourth ward who declared yesterday that the people of this city are not get-| ting the proper voice in the govern- ment and that at best the city gov- crament is a government of the few.

Business Established in 19th Cen- tury Closed as Modern Conditions Require Concentration of All Ac- tivities in Bay State City. One of New Britain's oldest estab- lished firms was lost to the city to- day when the last truckload of ma- chinery was taken from the C. J. White Mfg.

The lowering of taxes, however, will be controlled to a large extent, the Iowa representative declared, by | the extraordinary appropriations which are to be met by the next ses- sion. But he characterized the esti- mates of treasury officials of a $150,- 000,000 surplus available for this purpose as too low. He indicated that corporation levies and certain brackets of the income tax would receive primary consideration in the decreases. Mr. Green, in his analysls of the pending tax legislation, pointed out that the Mississippl flood and naval cruiser appropriations, together with the deficiency appropriations, which tailed in the last congress, and the public building program, will largely increase expenditures by the coming session. He saw no probability of tariff re- vision in the session. Adding that “it is evident only reductions which are most pressing should be considered,” the administration viewpoint that if a substantial tax reduction is to be obtained congress must be careful about the expenditures. pected the bill to be enacted “with- cut a special session” in time to be effective in next year's returns. No allowance was made for the fact that the business of the country was steadi owing, Mr. Green said in his criticism of the treasury sur- plus estimate. He added that the budget bureau had erred in the esti- mate by failure to anticipate large payments from the sale of railroad securities, federal farm loan bonds, custom receipts increases and foreign debt payments.

Norwich, Conn., Aug. 26 (A— Finding criminal negligence in the death of Isadore Novack, 38, Springfield, Mass, who was struck and kililed by an automobile on August 7 in Salem, Coroner J. J. i Desmond, in a finding handed down today, not only holds the operator, Mrs. Amanda Buechner of New Britain, responsible, but also her husband, William Buechner, Jr., un- der whose instructions Mrs. Buech- ner was operating the car at the time of the accident. From the evidence he obtained the coroner concluded that the fail- | ure of the operator and her instruc- Itor to exercise ordinary care in | making a turn resulted in the auto- mobile striking Novack, crossing the highway from his own automobile to a roadside stand when the Buechner car approached. The coroner's finding will be re- ported to a Salem grand juror for further action, Mr. Desmond said today. Both Mrs, husband have been under bonds of $2,000 each since the accident pending the outcome of the cor- oner's investigation. Mr. and Mrs. Buechner are well known residents of New Britain and live at 7 Wallace street. Mr. Buech- ner is clerk in the police depart- ment.

Boston, Aug. 26 (UP) — Al- though they went to the electric chair early this week as convicted murderers, Nicola Sacco and Bar- tolomeo Vanzetti were honored in death today as conquering heroes might have been. A motley crowd of many hun- dreds stood for half an hour in a long, wavering line in front of Joe Langone's north end parlors for a glimpse of the bodies. Police were stationed along the roped off sidewalks. In the tiny re- |ception room stood Thomas Abruz- |zlo and William Daly, ushers, who directed the fast-moving stream of mourners through a short, dark corridor to the little chapel in the | rear. There, in the center of the room, were the plain mahogany coffins, banked with roses and gladioli. On white plates atop the caskets were lettered in silver the names of the dead anarchists. Julius Frischimoni, Frank Cola- belli and Morris Tilbor stood as a guard of honor over the biers. A pale light shone through the stained-glass windows of the dark- ened chapel upon the faces of the dead. It was strangely still in there, where the humble shoemaker ani fish peddler lay in state under a guard of honor. Crowd Unruly It was an unruly crowd that gath- ered today at Joe Laiigone's place. Shouted orders of police rang down | the wavering line as anxious waiters ushed their way along. “Take your time. You've got two days to see 'em,” yeiled an officer at the door as the excited crowd milled about him, nearly sweeping him from his feet. No stranger crowd was ever at- tracted to the biers of two executed men., There were negroes and Chi- nese in the ever-growing line. There were thousands of countrymen the dead. There were a few wealthy sympathizers in the throng, but no favors were shown and they had to await their turn. “Get back there! Keep in line!" bawled the police as the crowd jockeyed for choice positions in the almost endless line. The scenes cutside were in strange contrast to the deathly quiet of the chapel in the rear. Tourist agencies had added Langone's place to their itineraries and two sight-secing bLusses were parked out front. The | busses remained there while thos who desired to do so wcent in to see | the bodies. There was the almost constant grinding of movie cameras, but this was drowned by the raucous noises from the crowded thoroughfare. COURT PUTS MUFFLER ON PUTNAM ST.

A check-up reveals that approx- imately 350 out of the 800 aliens who have left the mainland within the last year never reached the United States. The smugglers are accused by the police of throwing the aliens overboard when pursued by Cuban or American patrol boats. Cuban au- thorities explain that the emugglers induce the aliens to hide in sacks when a patrol boat is sighted, telling them that it will save them from capture. The sacks are tied, weight- ed with steel bars and thrown into |the sea, the operatives conclude. Unsuspecting Greeks, Poles, Ar- menians and other foreigners are in- duced to make the trip to the U. 8. in rakish two-masted schooners.
