Asst State Fire Marshal Frand Hardaman, who investigated the accident within an hour of its occurrence, found fragments of fll min the central part of the car, where the conductor stands by the fare box and where a heater is run along under the side seats.

He believed that the film was not in the container used for carrying pictures to the movie theatres, for no trace of such a container was found. Mr Hardaman said it was more likely to have been a film being carried home by somebody who had a projector of his own.

East Boston, this morning. REID GALLS FOR INVESTIGATION Would Punish Attempts to Slander Any President Judge Brown Notes Growth of East Boston Cases rent was due and that she simply would have to have some money to meet it. Tolino showed no evidence of temper or even Irritation. He simply told his wife that she should have the money and walked over to her, where she was sitting on the other side of the breakfast table.

She and the three sons thought that he was reaching in his pocket for some money. They were dazed when they saw the gleaming of the pistol and before they could utter a cry the man p( 'nted the revolver at Mrs Tolino and discharged it. She sank to the floor unconscious, as the three small boys filled the room with their cries. The man then put on his coat and slipped out of the dor. No one has seen him since, and the police are searching for hLam.

Tollno Is described by the police as being about 5ft 6in tall, of medium weight and medium complexion. "All right, I'll give you some," said her husband. With that he rose from the breakfast table and, walking over to his wife's side, he pulled a revoli'er from his pocket and In sight of the three children shot her in the left breast. Amid the screams of the children Tolino caught up his coat, fled from the house and has not been seen since. This is the situation which the police say they found when they answered an emergency call this morning.

They rushed Mrs Tolino to the East Boston Relief Hospital, where doctors at onco placed her on the operating table. The woman's condition 1 critical. Judge Charles J. Brown of the East Boston District Court today told newspaper reporters that the great Increase Tn criminal cases in his court was due to drunkenness and violation of the liquor law. This statement was made In connection with the report of Clerk John S.

Nichols, which showed an increase oC S76 criminal cases in a total of 6001, against a total of 6125 in 1923. Besides there were 379 juvenile cases and 330 small claims, which combined In making the past 12 months the busiest year In the history of the court. This additional business has benefited Suffolk County, financially speaking. Since 1920 the total fines collected for a year have jumped from $3444 to $19,318.30, as was indicated In Clerk Nichols' report. And the greater part of this WASHINGTON, Jan 3 Congressional investigation of a statement made by Mary Allen Htulbert in a recently published article, that a man describing himself as a representative of the Republican party offered her $200,000 to join in an effort designed to bring about the impeachment of President Wilson, was proposed in a resoluUon introduced today by Representative Reld, Republican, of Illinois.

The resolution recites that the statement was made in a magazine called "Liberty." A committee of five would conduct the investigation and also would be charged with "ascertaining the advisability of passing Federal laws to make it unlawful to solicit or bribe any one to assist In a malicious attempt to Impeach the President of the United States, and to make punishable any attempts to libel or slander Explosion of Film That the explosion was caused by a suitcase full of celluloid moving picture film was the statement made by conductor James Loughlin to the police from Station 4, who made the official police report on the accident. Although badly burned about the face and hands, conductor Loughlin, whose home is at 1142 Dorchester av, managed to open the doors in the rear of the car, although the hysterical passengers smashed with their fists the windows that were not blown out by the explosion. The people coming out of the car were blackened by the smoke, many of the women had their hair burned off and scalps burned. The majority of the passengers were women and some of them are in a critical condition at the Haymarket Relief Hospital. According to the police report from Station 4, the explosion happened at 12:25, a little more than half way between Boylston and Park sts.

The car was immediately followed by a threelcar Lechmere train and at first it was believed that the explosion had occurred in the Lechmere car. Asst Supt D. D. Hall said, after his examination of the car: "The best information that we can get so far is that some foreign material exploded something in no way a part of the car. We haven't been able to find what it was, but it may have been movie film.

The car is full of debris. I didn't see any film can, but there was a strong smell of burned celluloid. "The motorman, William Fahey, says that the car was a single car from Grove Hall, via Dudley at, bound for the North Station. As he entered the Park-st Station a three-car train was standing in the station. He slowed down to allow the train to get fC my- vf i fiMllBraj KsPijHHr M' IBS la wSSW v.v-: -v v.v vv.
