H. ROSSEAU Deceased of the Budget Bureau and director of the naval oil reserves, had died unexpectedly at sea on the steamship Cristobal while en route to the Panama Canal Zone.

The department was Informed that the ship is putting into Charleston. C. and will land the body there. Admiral Rousseau, widely known civil engineer, was born in Troy, April 19, 1870, graduating from Rensselaer Eolytechnic Institute in 1891. He engaged in structural engineering work In New York and Pittsb'urg, and he entered the Navy as a civil engineer with the rank cf lieutenant in September, 1898.

In 1906, while a senior lieutenant, he was appointed by President Roosevelt as chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks with the rank of Rear Admiral. Within three months ho was made a member of the Isthmian Canal headed by George W. Goe-thals, then lieutenant colonel, where he was head of the department of building construction, motive power and machinery and municipal engineering, with some 10,000 employes under him. At the time of his unexpected death he was performing the dual duty of director of the naval petroleum reserves and of chief coordinator of the business activities of the Government. 35 at $4.88 10 at $9.00 7 at $8.25 6 at $11.25 Everyone makes mistakes.

People. Political parties. Nations. Stores. Smart people (and -alert stores) admit their mistakes and rectify them.

Thats why Jordans planned this drastic 3-day stock-taking clearance. During the tremendous six months period now closing when Jordans served six million customers 381,068 more customers than in the same period in 1929 in every department some mistakes were made 1. In some instances quantities were too large. 2. Some of the merchandise was too high priced for present economic conditions.

3. In some cases color assortments included shades that fashion did not 4. And jn every instance where tremendous quantities of merchandise are sold ccr-" tain sizes sell faster than others. Therefore, every 'department in Jordans is taking part in this three-day mistake sale. Those who can use this merchandise at these clearance prices are finding the values outstanding, indeed! On account of the nature of this sale, no mail or telephone orders can be filled So drastic are the reductions that all sales are final Ex-Supt of Markets Daniel H.

Rose (left) and his successor, Ambrose Woods (right), receiving token of appreciation at Quincy Market from William P. McDermott (center). Election Commissioner Daniel E. Rose got a telephone call at his office in. City Hall early yesterday afternoon requesting him to drop In down at the Quincy Market about 1 oclock, where he was formerly the superintendent of markets, to help straighten out a matter that had been hanging fire since he was promoted.

Commissioner Rose hurried to the office of his successor, Supt Ambrose Woods, and they were talking things over when suddenly the door opened and in walked a delegation of marketmen to pay their respects to the old and the new superintendents. Messrs Woods and Rose were taken Womens Better Gown Shop 200 dressea drastically reduced 46 dressea at Vi price Womens Inexpensive Dresses 42 at $8.25 20 at $4.95 Also 31 dresses at $6.45 College Shop 30 at $9.85 72 at $12.75 Also 25 dressea at $29.50 Junior Misses9 Dresses 15 at $5.38 44 at $12.75 42 at $6.48 20 at $7.95 Also 18 COATS at 'j price by surprise and they looked at one another in amazement when one of the myketmen, William P. McDermott, stepped out of' tne group and began a complimentary address to both, which concluded in him handing a gold watch, chain and knife to the outgoing super and a gold, blue enameled faced badge to the in-coming superintendent. Both Rose and Woods were so much befuddled by the Incident that all they were able to say was Thank you. The committee In charge of the presentation included Frank Shaw, Samuel Holmes, Albert Fleming, John Foley, Thomas Collins and William P.

McDermott. Rear Admiral Rousseau was In Boston just two months ago as guest of honor at a luncheon tendered by the Boston Federal Business Association. He wa well known in Government clr. cles In this section and was greatly only suggested change In the plans for the proposed Cambridge tun-pel-Elevated station at Cambridge and Charles sts, submitted for approval to the Public Utilities Commission yesterday afternoon, was the need of an underpass leading from the station to a point between Charles st and Embankment road. provision already has been made for underpass leading from the station to the Massachusetts General Hospital Speakers at yesterday's -learing were of the opinion that if a similar passage were not constructed on the petite side of the station the lives of pedestrians would be endangered.

They believed, they said, that if the changes were not made, passengers as wel as persons desiring to enter the nation would find it difficult to safeiy cross from the Embankment road section. Opposition to the general plan was offered by L. H. Kuhnhart, who contended that the erection of the station above the circle at the intersection would tend to obstruct the proper handling of traffic in the -future. He submitted a substitute plan for the consideration of the commission.

Ready to Go Ahead After tracing the history of the project H. Ware Barnurq. counsel lor the Elevated trustees. Informed the commission that because of the contemplated construction ot a traffic circle at the intersection, the station can be erected at a cost muct less than originally estimated in JS24. Both tne board of directora and the trustees cf the Elevated, the speaker said, are ready to go ahead with the project.

The plan was prepared by ths engineers of the road who worked in conjunction with the Boston Transit Department, he said. Including the cost cf the construction of the teo-called hospital underpass and ths signal system, IV is estimated, Mr Bar-num stated, that the project will necessitate an expenditure of 1355.000. "The Board of Trustees, Mr B'T-num concluded, are ready to enter Into a contract in accordance with this plan If It meets with the approval of this department. Representing the Beacon Hill Associates, Romley Spring stressed tne need othe construction of the station as soon as possible. It is impossible, he said, to get from that section of the city to the South Station or any other point Such transportation service, he went on, cannot be termed acequate, calling attention to the great number of persons who daily visit the hospital and possibility of future developments in the Esplanade section.

He suggested the construction of an underpass to a point between Charles st and Embankment road, feeling that it would be necessary in affording proper protection to the public, in conclusion he urged the commission to approve the plans in o-der that the station may be constructed without any further delays. Urge Second Underpass Bernard J. Rothwell of the board ot rectors of the Elevated company also felt that a second underpass should ce constructed. An underpass to a point between Charles st and Embankment load would be helpful in promoting safety of the people, Mr Rothwell said. He described the submitted plan as very satisfactory.

Chairman Thomas F. Suflivan of tne Boston Transit Department, representing Mayor Curley, declared that he had been instructed by the Mayor to appear in favor of the project. Ths Mayor feels. Col Sullivan asserted, that an underpass should be constructed to a point near the Nurses Home. Such an underpass, he believed, would cost between 515.000 and 520,000.

The exit from the second underpass, he stated, could be made on the sidewalk. but believed it would be better located on the adjoining property. Chairman Henry C. Attwill of the commission said that the board is omy oncerned in the location of the station and has no authority to make any changes in the highways. Attorney Barnum said that ins building of the station makes the widening of the highway necessary.

Mr Attwill answered: guess it's up to the Attorney General w'hethe the Stae shall pay for the widening epproachea or not or the underpass. It seems to me that the gentlemen who want all those things have to address their remarks to the Attorney General. The commission will take this plan under consideration, with the sugges- ons, and then draw a plan of its own upon which Mr Attwill intimated there probably will be another hearing.

GIVES SCHOLARSHIP TO BOSTON COLLEGE Mrs 0Reileys $10,000 Fund for a Student's Cost Cambridge Womans Will Provides Other Charitable Bequests WALTHAM, July 24-A bill In equity brought by Mayor Patrick J. Duane and City Solicitor John J. Foster, seeking an injunction against the Boston Manufacturing Company, now in the hands of the receivers, from allowing the waters of the Charles Kiver to flow wastefully over its dam, will be filed tomorrow morning at thft Suffolk Superior Court.

The waste flow of about 30,000,000 gallons dally over the dam Is the principal cause of the low level of the river the officials charge. The court will be requested to take Immediate action eince it is claimed the low level of the waters has become a serious health menace. The Charles here has never before been down'-to its present low level of four feet. Wide areas of flats are exposed and It Is contended by-residents of Waltham, Newton and Weston that the situation is a menace because of the odors given off by the exposed mud flats. The low level has also caused a reduction of 50 percent in the boating livery business and is preventing the operation of the plans of the Tercentenary Committee for Its water carnival here, Aug 12.

Investigators into the cause of the low level agree that the Boston Manufacturing Company, once cotton mill business, is responsible in allowing tte water to flow unrestricted over its lower dam. Residents and business men demand immediate relief from the situation and officials of West Waltham and Newton have agreed to share any expense incurred through remedying the situation by court action. NEW YORK, July 23 (A. Surveyor John H. Maglll, who says he dreams of rum-running activities, follows his dream clews and sometimes makes seizures, was tinkering with his radio set last night.

Outside the broadcast channels he heard a station working In the Morse lode, which he understands. Most of the message was garbled, but he heard "Patria 4000. He pullel out the shipping list and saw that the Fabre liner Patria was in Brooklyn. A squad of agents was dispatched to the liner and in her coal bunkers uncovered 4000 bottles of what they said were choice liquors, worth $40,000. The captain was summoned to appear today and explain.

The line faces a possible fine of $20,000 $5 a bottle. NEWTON, July 24-For the first time since Jan 1 labor fi Newton is insufficient for the demand, according to an announcement today at the office of Mayor Sinclair Weeks. There are 15 laborer jobs on rokd construction work unfilled. These Jobs will pay 53 a day for four to six weeks. When city officials scanned their lists of applicants for employment and found all had been taken care of, several employes were ordered to canvass the Welfare Department, charitable organizations and every available source for laborers.

Only Newton residents and naturalized citizens are eligible for the vacant positions. James Dempsey, secretary to Mayor Weeks, stated tonight he was confident that the needed men will doubtless be secured tomorrow. He said the names on old lists of unemployed were being checked up and these would probably yield 15 laborers. The scarcity of labor in this clfy Is believed to be unique among Massachusetts cities of the giza of Newton. Two factors are probably responsible.

One is the fact that hundreds of unemployed secured work by help of Mayor Weeks and his assistants before the Summer construction was begun. The other factor is Newton'S largest construction program 10 years. Work is now under way on four betterment streets. The covering of Boyd Brook is now under construction. Work has starred on the reconstruction of Center at, from Cabot st, almost to Commonwealth av.

A mile of roadway as being constructed on Grove st. Auburn-dale. Another feature of Mayor Weeks program to relieve unemployment is the 530,000 contract job of laying FUe Department cables underground. The contract was awarded to a Newtcn firm, employing many Newton labor ers. Grading is still being done at tie Crystal Lake bathhouse.

The repairing of the power plant at Newton High School helped decrease (he -umber of unemployed laborers. Newton men are working on the new stadium at Claflin Feld and a6 laying out the new football field. Mrs Margaret A. ORelley of widow of Dr William J. ORei-ley, formerly of Brookline, left an estate of $17,500, of which the Income or $10,000 Is to be used to educate one student at a time at Boston College, according to the will filed yesterday in the Middlesex Probate Court, East Cambridge.

Mrs OReiley died May 25. Her bequest to Boston College provides that worthy students be selected and that after one has completed his course another be cared for. She made bequests of $2600 to nieces and nephews and several public bequests. The will provides $500 for the Qonvent of the Sacred Heart, Newton; $200 for the Home for 'Destitute Children, Boston; $200 for St Marys Chil-fant Asylum, Dorchester, and $300 for the Catholic Charitable Bureau, Boston.

Special Cable to the Globe TOKYO, Japan, July 24 Following Premier Yuko Hamaguchis audience Emperor Hirohito, when he handed the London Naval pact to the ruler and the latter ordered It to be put into the hands of the Privy Council for final consideration, details of a new aval construction program, destined to make up the deficiencies of the London pact, are reliably learned. These plans are now in the hands the Naval Ministry, which is studying the recommendations of the Naval general staff, and the whole project 'ill go into effect when it is finally approved again by the Naval staff. The total outlay for the program over a period of five years is and the first work is to be launched next year. The principal points are: Establishment of 11 hew flying corps, each corps to be equipped with eight hiachines; construction of three cruisers, mounting six-inch guns, and building of one airplane carrier.

The greatest importance is laid on airplane increases which. Naval experts believe, is the only way to remedy what they consider too great concessions made by Japan at London 'hich dangerously weakeh the national defenses. is possible that only two cruisers will be built, although the Naval staff at three are necessary.
