T, LANYERSRE-BECT | NANGAN PRESIDENT Juge Sure Swcoeeds Jedge Roche as Vice President - The expected opposition to re- election of officers of the New Brit- ain’ Lawyers’ club, especially the president, was not evident and Judge William F. Mangan was re-elected president of the organization without contest at the annual meeting of the | club held last night at Burritt hotel. The remainder of the rostrum of of- ficers was left intact with a slight shift due to the death of Judge| Henry P. Roche, who was vice pres- ident. This office was given to Judge Morris D. Saxe, and the offic: of treasurer, which was held Dy Judge Saxs, was given to Judge| Stanley J. Traceski, Judge Roche's successor. Judge Frederick I Hungerford yas re-elected to the of- fice of secretary. There was a heated argument, among the members as to the ques- | tion of bonding the treasurer. Here- tofore the treasurer was under bond, but in the future all treasurers will be elected without bond. This con- clusion was reached after a lengthy discussion. Members chosen committee were: Edward A. Mag, Donald Gaffney, Judge Wiiliam F. Mangan, and Judge F. B. Hunger- ford. The entertainment committe: | is comprised of Attorneys Cyril Gaff- ney, Harry Ginsburg and William | Curtin. A uew office was created by pop- ular demand, that of cfficial legal jester. and Attorney Yale Sable was | unanimously elected to that office. 1t is expected that this office will re- 4main in his hands for a nymber of years. George T. Kimball, president of the American Hardware Corp., was the guest speaker at the meeting. He | supplicd an abundance of legal stories of the lighter variety, as ‘well as humorous incidents from his re- cent travel abroad. He is a mem- ber of the bar. highlight of the gathering was an extensive discussion on laws of libel and slander. The speeches were made by Judge William F. Mangan and Attorney Gerald 8. Casule, counsels for the plaintiff and defendant respectively in the famous Hart-Gardiner-Pajewski slander suit, ' which was heard last week in supe- rior court. A general reprimand was extended the members who did not attend the meeting by the chair.

Wallace Fraser, 31, of Arlington, N. J. a pamsenger on the rear plat. form of the second car, who was knocked down and trampled in the rush, described his experience as follows: “I noticed smoke seeping up through the floor and around the doors. Then the lights went out. “Women were screaming. The flames began to come up between the two cars. With the rest of the people, 1 hurried away. “In a few minutes the cars were | suffocatingly filled with smoke. People began breaking windows to get alr. “I headed back toward the fire, but was knocked down and trampled | into insensibility. When I came to, a few minutds later, all the windows had been broken and the air was somewhat clearer.” ! Meanwhile two alarms had | brought rescue squads and fire ap- | paratus and police reserves. Police | and firemen penetrated into the| tube by an emergency exit and be- | gan assisting the passengers from tunnel and burning train. As they were brought out all of them were seen to have their faces, hands and clothing blackened with soot and smoke. Many Unconscious Many were found in the cars un- conscious from inhaling the fumes and were carried from the tube. Two | hours elapsed after the accident be- fore the last passenger was brought out. After the first mad rush a degree of order was restored and the pas- sengers set about finding their way out of the darkness back toward the station. Ambulances trom six hospitals, as | well as other vehicles took away the | injured as rapidly as brought to the street level. The accident interrupted service in the tube for four hours. | Miss Tsabel Klein, 629 Newark | avenue, Jeraey City, who was in the first car said the floor became so hot she could not stand still. | “Women became hysterical, They screamed and moaned and prayed | and fainted in quick succession. The men were iiut one bit discourteous.” Miss Antoinette Baer, of Newark, sald it seemed to her that it took | hours to pass through the burning car in an effort to find her way out. | “The smoke there was terrific and it was fearfully hot. Men and wom- | en began doffing their coats and hats. It seemed hours before we got | through. | Citizenship Held Up | When Witness Hisses New York, Feb. 20.—(#—Edward Mullarkey, 26, who came from Ire. land five years ago, was still an alien today because someone hissed | just as he was to become a citizen of the United States. A group of applicants for citizen- ! ship were lined before the bar in | United Btates court about to take the oath of allegiance when a loud hiss resognded through the courtroom. “Who hissed?” demanded Judge Mack. | “I did,” said a man in the crowd. | “I hissed because a man stands there who is not fit to become a citizen of the United States.” “What do you mean,” asked the judge. “He has a hip flask, and 1 saw him drinking from it in the court- room. A crash followed and a broken flask appeared on the floor along- side Mullarkéy. He denied the flask was his, but Judge Mack after snif- fing signiticantly postponed Mullar- key's citizenship one year. Girl Student Killed In Runaway Accident Bronxville,N.

The two—Anthony Grecco, 19, and Charles Wals, 18—walked to the chair a few minutes after mid- night down an aisle of spectators. They were the first to die in the electri> chair in Cook county. Grecco, whose nerve hal failed gradually as the county jail clock ticked off the miputes before mid- night, was marched to the chair first, tollowed by a Franciscan priest. His walk became a shuffie as he neared the seat, manufact red in the In- diana state prison.
