MIDDLETOWN TIMES HERALD, MIDDLETOWN, N. Y. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29,1933 TOCOlMlf BILLS MOVE of Jiwn MIC Before LAmtrn ALBANY--Proffrea was recorded yesterday for two designed to effect economies in Orange County government. Tbe bill providing for abolishment of the office of Commissioner of Jurors passed the Senate yesterday, and Senator Thomas C. Desmond said he had positive assurance that the bill to make sheriff's fees in civil cases payable to the county instead the sheriff reported favorably.

The advancement of the; measures was the result of constant and concerted efforts to get action on matters of purely local import before the rush 1 that must necessarily develop when a date for adjournment is set. The Commissioner of Jurors bill, which already' has the approval of the Assembly and is expected to meet no objection in the Governor's office, is expected to save the county approximately 11,500 a year by eliminating that'official and transferring the duties to the County Clerk. The office was- created six years ago and the late John J. Toth of Port Jervis only holder with the exception' of Miss Jean Abers of Port Jervis, his assistant, whose office, was abolished when she was advanced to her chief's post on his death last Fall. Senator Mc- Naboe, New York Democrat, offered the chief opposition to the bill yesterday.

Senator Desmond's bill for construction of sidewalks along state, county and town highways, designed as a combined work relief, general improvement and safety measure, also passed the Senate with little deoate yesterday. It has not yet been voted on by the Assembly. The measure includes a provision for the planting of trees along highways. BANKING BILLS ONSCRAPHEAP Chain Store Tax Measure Also Defeated at Albany A A A bills providing changes in the state banking law were gated to the scrap heap today by the Assembly Banks committee, as the task of disposing of legislation prior to final adjournment, expecte'd April seventh, gained momentum. Other measures killed were the Bernhardt bill which would prohibit vivisection and surgical experimentation on living dogs, and the Wojtkowiak bill which would have applied a graduated tax to chain stores.

The banking committee, in a compromise move, sent to the powerful rules committee a. bill which would establish a central savings bank reserve system. It was given little chance of being reported out favorably. Among the measures killed were four designed to permit various form's of branch banking. The judiciary committee rescinded its action in reporting favorably the Breitenbach resolution proposing an amendment to the state constitution to legalize pari-mutuel horse race betting and sent it to the rules committee.

One other bill and a resolution, however, were reported favorably by the committee. The measure would provide more rigid regulations in issuance" of securities, while the resolution called for modification of the veterans' preference provisions of the state constitution. Republican Assembly leaders had before them today a determined demand by the New York State Labor Standards Committee, said to represent 2,175,700 voters, for approval of the Wald-Eberhard mimimum wage bill. The measure has passed the Democratic-controlled Senate. "Minimum wage legislation should not be settled by partisan political action when the need of millions of workers is so great," Mrs.

Allen Moore, former legislative chairman of the State Federation of Women's Clubs and a member of the delegation which called on the leaders, "Only real statesmanship can meet the issue." Miss Mabel Leslie, legislative chairman of the Women's Trade Union League, declared: "We know that it is Republican votes that will put this measure across, and we therefore propose to let the Republican members of the Assembly know we are here to record and report their action." REPORTS REQUIRED FROM MAGISTRATES MONTICELLO Magistrates in Sullivan county must in the future make complete returns of criminal proceedings before them to the County Clerk's office, under Instructions issued today by District Attorney i i a Deckelman.

Foster.

DEATH STOKES AMID BUZZARD IN LIGHTHOUSE Keeper Marooned Sifiil That AiliBf ttild Had Died SYDNEY, N.

Martell, lighthouse keeper, flashed a message to shore early today, over the mile and a half of grinding ice that fills the narrow channel between Flint Island and Cape Breton, that one of his children was dead. For more than a while icebreakers strove to crash their way to the storm-wrecked lighthouse where Martell, his and their nine children have been marooned, watchers on shore have known that tragedy settled on the Island. A flag, flying at half mast, could be seen through occasional rifts in the fog. Through glasses, relatives of the lighthouse keeper could see his sons walk from the house to the shore inspect a small boat caught in the ice jam. and return to their home.

A blizzard shut the island from view two days ago. This was followed by a dense fog. The icebreaker Montcalm plunged through heavy floes to within a mile of the island but was forced to turn back after three courageous attempts. Gordon and Howard Peach, nephews of Martell, maintained a vigil on the mainland, sweeping the island-with binoculars. Martell knew no telegraphic code whereby he might flash word of his distress.

Through 50 hours of anxiety a si-iall radio set at Port Morien repeated instructions for a crude signal system of lights that he might use. Martell's little radio set finally picked up the instructions, and yesterday, the first response came through. Watchers on shore disagreed, depending on their point of vantage, whether Martell signalled with three flashes--which would a meant sickness In the family--or two flashes, meaning death. Their speculation was ended shortly after midnight today when, with the fog lifting, the signals came through clearly. Martell flashed the fatal number "two," three times showing under the arraigned code that one of the children had died.
