Maguire of the Easi Boston Free Press, who has been leading the East Boston fight before the Legislative Committee on Metropolitan Affairs against the proposed toll bridge from, that district to the city proper, was bitter today in his arraignment of the committees report to the General Court. His statement follows: "The bill which a majority of Metropolitan Affairs Committee has reported to the Legislature authorizing certain individuals living in the Back Bay, South Boston, and other places to incorporate for the purpose of building a toll bridge to East Boston is the most outra8eous proposition ever presented to a popular assembly. The gentlemen who operated generations ago In the Spanish Main were tyros In comparison to those who work today, with no personal risk, for franchises permitting them to exploit a people.

What the bill shows: Franchise Seekers Requests "The franchise seekers ask to be allowed to collect tolls to the amount of at least 15 percent On a bridge which they will erect for $15,000,000, or annual charges of $2,250,000. This would mean a toll on each vehicle crossing the bridge of $1.20. estimated on the present traffic over the East Boston ferries. The people of East Boston could not carry any such, burden, or any large part of It. The franchise seekers ask that no taxes, ordinarily collected, be levied against them until July 1,,1940.

Or, if the city of Boston prefers, it may collect the taxes, It must then contribute to the company an amount equal to the "taxes plus the average annual cost to tihe city of the operation of facilities replaced by the bridge, In other words, discontinue the ferries and give the franchise seekers the money which it costs to operate them. Thls is a new one, certainly. But why not give up the bridges through Charlestown and Chelsea, or drop one of the bridges to Soutih Boston, or two of the bridges to Cambridge, and turn the money for their maintenance over to these clever franchise seekers? The ferries are highways, or moving bridges, and If it Is money saved to discontinue them, why not pass the idea around, stop all improvements and make profitable the franchise of private bridge builders? Monstrous Scheme, He Says "Borne weeks ago I asked Mayoi Nichols to take a stand against the raid of these franchise seekers who pretent to give him a final say In this matter, but reserve that for the Public Utilities Commission, a body not unduly popular for its Tecent telephone decision. Mayor Nichols knows through his experience as chairman of the Boston Transit Commission that the franchise which these bridge promoters are seeking is unfair and unjust to the people of East Boston. He knows that it cannot be Justified on any ground whatever.

As a financial scheme It is monstrous. Perhaps I should have asked the district attorney of Suffolk County to give his attention to the activities of th elobby. SUBMARINE FUR PERULAUNCHED Wives of Peruvian Officers Name Her With Wine NEW LONDON, Conn, April 29 (A. The first of two submarines for the Peruvian Government under its contract with the Electric Boat Company, built by the New London Ship and Engine Company, was launched from the plant of the latter company in Groton today. It is designated the R-2, and wStli Its sister craft, the R-l, represents, in the opinion of naval builders, the most advanced type of submersible In Us class.

The which wras carried through without a hitch, w'as witnessed by diplomats and representatives of several stations, Peruvian naval officers, United States Army, Navy and Coast Guard officers of high rank, and prominent officials and citizens of the city, State and country. The keel of the iR-2 was laid with religious ceremony on Feb 25, 1925, and contrary to the usual procedure iri this country, the vessel was named during this ceremony. The sponsor for the R-2 was Mrs Clark Woodward, wife of Admiral C. H. Woodward, chief of the United States Naval Commission to Peru.

At the same time as the keel of the R-2 was laid the keel of her sister ship, the R-l, was also put down, the sponsor for the latter ship being Miss Isabel Legula, daughter of Dr Augusto B. Legula, President of the Republic of Peru. Bottle of Peruvian Wine Used Mrs Woodward, original sponsor of the R-2, was unable to attend the launching and Mrs Enrique Monge, wife of the chief of the Peruvian Naval Commission which has supervised the building of the two submarines, acted for her in naming the She was assisted by Mrs Jose R. Alzamora, wife of the Peruvian officer who will command the R72. At the hpur set for the launching, shortly before noon, as supports of the craft on the ways were sawedawey.MrsMonge smashed a slU1 encased bottle of Peruvian wine against the steel nose of the ship.

As the craft glided gently down the ways, Peruvian battle pennarts were flying over the length of the deck, and the air was filled with blasts of automobile horns, tug and factory whistles and the shrill whirr of the sirens of coast guard patrol boats that assembled In the Thames River to witness the launching. With scarcely a splash the submersible took to the water and settled deep until the green of her lower structure passed out of sight, but the freshly painted black upper deck remained glistening in the sun. A tug boat tojk the craft In tow to a place at a wharf. The R-2 and her sister ship, the R-l, which will be launched in about a month, are being furnished to the Peruvian Government under a contract issued to the Electric Boat Company, covering the two boats, a naval base to be erected by the Boat Company on San Lorenzo Island, Peru, and a number of torpedoes, WASHINGTON, April 29 (A. Ignoring President Coolldges warning to Congress against establishing any more Independent Federal agencies, the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee today approved the Dill radio bill, providing for a commission to have control of air communication.

The commission would have supreme power in its field, the committee having eliminated a provision for appeals to the courts to compel the Issuing of broadcasting licenses or prevent the rescinding of them. The committee also proposed that the commission have five instead of three members, on salaries of $12,500 each. The bills proponents will seek to have it passed at this session, holding that recent court decisions In a Chicago case have made Immediate legislation imperative. The White House disclosed recently that President Coolidge was inclined to favor a bill already passed by the House placing the control of Tadlo under the Commerce Department Instead of an independent commission.

CASE UF ANTIQUE UEALERIN COURT Full City Bench to Pass on Important Point The first case to come trial through Investigations of the Boston polio against antique dealers, who the police sayF are doing a second-hand business, came before Judge Burke in Municipal Court today, and as a result of the questions raised by attorney Samuel Hurwltz, who appeared for Ashpy V. Sampson of Cambridge st, an antique dealer, Judge Burke decided to submit the evidence to the nine Judges of the Municipal Court before giving his decision. Attorney Hurwltz declared that tha fate of the antique business In Boston, where there are more than 1000 dealers, and in Massachusetts, which Is a leader In this business, was at stake. Sergt Manning, under orders from Supt Crowley and Capt James Mc-Devltt, visited several of the antique stores In plain The Sampson case Is the first which he was ready to prosecute.

It was stated Manning visited the stor and asked for candlesticks. He said he was shown candlesticks and paintings by the dealer, who explained the difference between some antiques he had and some articles which were merely second-hand pieces. Attorney Hurwltz stated his client was an antique dealer, and as such did not need a second-hand dealers license. If he did, attorney Hurwltz stated, then Hlenry Ford would have to have one in order to furnish his Wayside Inn, and the Boston Art Museum wou'd need one and the leading jewelry and furniture stores would also need one. Would Be Death Blow Attorney Hurwltz quoted a Supreme Cobrl decision whlcn said, defines a dealer in second-hand articles as one who purchases such articles.

The court asked attorney Hurwltz he meant to say that if the Judge happened to buy a Rembrandt for the living room he would be classified as a dealer. Attorney Hurwltz said, no, not If he bought one, but the decision would apply to a person who made several purchases. Attorney Hurwdtz stated that If the courts determine that antique dealers, of whom he estimated there were 1000 In Boston alone, must have a second-hand license and make public reoords of all transactions then the business would receive its death blow here. He cited a sale recently by one family of a piece, of furniture belonging to Martha Washington. The family which sold It needed the few thousand dollars It brought them, the attorney stated, but if they knew that this sale would hav been made a public record, that the world might learn of their distress, they would have starved rather than dispose of it.

Judge Burke said that he would submit the evidence in the case to the other Judge of the Municipal Court. The decision In this case may affect the disposition of several other cases of a similar nature which are to heard in court at later date.

Leach broke a leg, which it was found necessary to amputate.

Bobby" Leach, a Canadian, achieved world-wide notoriety through his feat at Niagara Falls. He was the second person to go over the falls and live, the first being Mrs Anne Edson Taylor of Niagara Falls, who made the trip in a barrel Oct 24, 1901. Leachs trip was made July 25, 1911. He was severely battered and bruised in the drop of 158 feet over the Horseshoe Falls, but his Injuries were only superficial. He way 49 years old when he performed the feat.

LEACHS SISTER IN FALL RIVER LEARNS OF DEATH FALL RIVER, April 29 (A. Mrs Edward A. Ney of this city, a sister of "Bobby Leach, who braved Niagara FFalia In a steel barrel In 1910, learned today through press dispatches of the reported death of iher brother In Christchurch, New Zealand. We have had no direct news from my brother for about six weeks, Mrs Ney said. "At that time ihe was touring Australia, showing motion pictures based on his experience In going over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

We had heard nothing of his trip to New Zealand. Although generally known as Canadian, "Bobby Leach was a native of Lancashire, Eng, his sister said. He was about 63 years old. He was married and had one daughter. His wife and daughter were with him on his tour of the antipodes.

"He was much plder than and 1 saw little of him since I grew up, said Mrs Ney. "He was a great traveler and had been all over the world. He lived In Canada for long periods at various times, conducting hotels at Hamilton and Niagara Falls, Ont. He paid Js occasional short visits here. Leach conducted a hotel at Niagara Falls, his sister said, up to the time he left on his trip to Australia, which was in connetlon with a motion picture tour.

BOBBY LEACH MANY TIMES DEFIED DEATH IN STUNTS NIAGARA. FALLS, April 29 (A. The death of Bobby Leach, Intrepid falls thrill seeker, reported from Christchurch, New Zealand, today, removes one of the mqst picturesque figures from the Niagara district. Besides going over the falls in a baron July 25, 1911, Leach many times defied death in sensational stunts, with the falls as a background. He successfully negotiated the whirlpool rapids in a barrel, dropped with a parachute from the uppr arch bridge over the gorge and from an airplane over the falls and many similar feats of daring.

Those who knew FOREST BLAZE UNDERCONTROL Large Area Swept Near Plymouth PLYMOUTH, April 29 It was not until midnight that the big forest fire near Raymonds Corner on the road between Plymouth and the Cape was fully under control. Two fire engines continued to pump water Into the woods along Fresh Pond till after that hour. As far as can be learned dio cottages or houses were damaged. A slight shower in the evening, which dampened the woods, a fickle wind which shifted to all corners of the compass, and the hard work of hundreds of fire fighters, with back fires around the Summer dwellings, saved the cottages. It is estimated that fully a mile and a half square of wooded land was burned.

There is considerable anxiety felt that the blaze may start up again today, since there is a strong wind blowing that will dry out the woods and allow embers to spread the fire again. Patrols are stationed around the area this morning and will be continued there throughout the day. The cranberry bogs in the course of the raging flames were saved by flooding them with water. Otherwise, It is pointed out, they would have been ruined, since cranberry bogs burn like tinder. The only person to suffer loss was George R.

Briggs, on whoso property the fire started. He lost, 200 cords Of cut wood. The fire jumped the highway In several places, but was kept In hand through backfleres. The hundreds of automobiles left along the highway by people who came to view the spectacular blaze and to help fight It proved to be a menace and a hindrance. There were times when it looked as If the fire would reach some the cars.

PAUL Nine-year-old Paul 'Henry Elix of Saco, Me, Is off again-f The worst of it all is that Henry Elix, Paul's father, is already on his way to Boston, believing that he wnl find his elusive son safe and sound at the Chardon-st Home. But Paul Is among the missing; he took leave of the Chardon-st Home via an open door about noon today. They tried to be nice to Paul down at the welfare home and let him enjoy the office rather than coop end the result was that when Paul thought the going was good he went. Policemen and attaches of the home are on watch for him, but until early this afternoon he was keeping under cover. Late last night a policeman down near the 'North Station had his attention attracted to the boy.

The officer stopped him and the lad told a whale of a story. It sounded good. He had conic to Boston with his father and mother on their way to IXw York, the boy told the patrolman, and while dad stepped over to the ticket office at the North Station, preparatory to crossing f-e city to the South Station, he eluded ma and strolled out to see the sights. When he looked around, the boy told the policeman, he could not see either ma or pa. Paul was sent over to the Joy-st Station at the West End, In the auto patrol.

The police thought he tvae just a lost boy and that he would soon be claimed.

Rockefeller spent the first morning of his stay here on the private links of his estate. He arrived unexpectedly from Florida late yesterday, after employes had been notified that he would not reach here until this afternoon. Mr Rockefeller arose early and had completed breakfast before 8 oclock. He played nine holes of golf in 43, defeating Mr and Mrs Alexander C. Soper, formerly of Chicago, and now living a Lakewood.

After hearty luncheon he left for a drive through th pine woods of this section. Reports from the estate were that Mr Rockefeller was in better health than he has been for a long time. brink the barrel was caught In the tremendous grip of the waters and raced to the chasm. Although the water was unusually high the barrel was roughly handle I In the upper rapii. Within 200 yards of the brink It struck hard against a rock and a large section of the wooden end was broken off.

As the barrel reached the crest at 3.13 oclock It swung straight and went plunging down Into the abyss on Its long axis. Hardly 30 seconds elapsed from the time it made the plung until It was seen, a red speck, careening in the spume below the cataract. With the terrific outrush of the Horseshoe, caused by high water, the barrel went floating down, tossing and tumbling In its passage, toward thejupper steel arch bridge. Revived With Oxygen Just abreast of the Ontario Power Companys generating station the barrel w'as caught In an eddy and there spun around for several minutes before again catching the down current Men in Leach's employ were ready in a rowboat just beyond to catch the barrel, but before they qould get to their oars Frank Bender of Chippewa swam out to the barrel with a rope and caught It by one of Its handles. From that point the barrel was towed ashore and the cover quickly lifted.

Leach was bleeding and appeared In a bad'way, but once out of the barrel he raised himself and waved to the crowds that lined the bank. He was badly exhausted and it was necessary to apply oxygen to revive him. He thought that his leg was broken, but examination showed that It W'as merely sprained. "I minded the tumbling above the falls more than the big drop, said Leach. It came near killing me, th way I was tossed about before I hit the brink.

He proposed showing motion pictures of his Falls feat In ills appearance In vaudeville houses In those countries. Friends here heard little from him on his trip. He sent back a few newspapers telling of his success on his vaudeville tour, but wrote few letters. According to the best Information obtainable here Leach was born in Cornwall, England, 64 years ago.

He came to Canada In his youth and his first bid for fame in water feats was shortly after his arrival in Canad, when he swam a race with a prominent Canadian swimmer at Burlington Beach, near Hamilton, Ont. MEXICAN BISHOP ISAMESTED Opposed Religious Clauses of Constitution MEXICO CITY, April 29 (A. Special dispatches received from Pachuca report that Bishop Manrlguez Zarate of Hjejutia has been arrested by order of the district attorney of Pachuca City In connection with a pastoral letter opposing the religious clauses of the Mexican (Constitution. The dispatches say it is believed the bishop will be released on bail. What amounts to virtually a state of siege has been established at Zita-euaro as an outgrowth of the fighting Tuesday between townspeople and the military over the religious situation, in which Capt Huia of the army and one civilian were killed and several civilians were wounded.

It Is reported that a large group of fanatical Indians on neighboring ranges Intend to attack the town, and troops are being prepared for its defense. The district attorney has ordered the arrest of several persons alleged to have been Implicated in Tuesday' rioting. Troops are patrolling the streets. The Department of the Interior, In an official explanation of the disorder, says that a group of 200 persons, a majority of them women, Invaded the Municipal Building at Zitacuaro and demanded that the municipal authorities annul the religious laws. They began rioting when the petition was rejected.

Capt while trying to pacify the excited populace, was stabbed and killed. Thereupon the troops attempted to reestablish order. A clash occurred which resulted In several persons being killed or wounded. There were some arrests. The (famous feat of "Bobby Leach in negotiating Niagara Falls in a steel barrel" was told in the Globe of July 25, 1911, as follows: NIAGARA FALLS, July 25 Bobby Leach, 49 years old, of Niagara Falls, Ont, this afternoon went over the Horseshoe Falls In a barrel and still lives.

Though he was severely battered and bruised In the drop of 158 feet over the brink of the cataract, he sus-tainly only superficial injuries and tonight Is able to be about his house. This Is the second time in the history of the river that the cataract has ever been successfully navigated. Jlrs Anna Edson Taylor of this cltiy made, th trip In a barrel Oct 24, 1901, and came out alive. Leach had previously negotiated the whirlpool rapids and the whirlpool. He made this daring trip in his barrel on June 28 last, and although bruised, beside getting a severe shaking up, he sustained no serious hurt.

Harrassed by police on both sides of the river, Leach today was forced to make his start from La Salle, a village two miles and a half above the cataract on the United States side of the stream. Albert Mang and William Perry, old river men, took him out in a launch Into the Canadian channel. They stopped at Navy where everything was made shipshape and Leach was placed In the barrel, a steel affair, II feet long, the ends of laminated wood. Leach was hung in a canvas hammock. A Rough Voyage The barrel with Its passenger was cast adrift just off the mouth of Chippewa creek, hardly a mile above the brink of the Horseshoe, at 2.52 oclock and was quickly caught by the iush of the upper rapids.

A heavy wind drpve it toward the Canadian mainland and it coursed down for a time slowly to the falls. When 500 jards from the him here feel that nature played an Ironic joke on him In terminating his life by the most prosaic of accidents a slip on an orange peel and a fall on the sidewalk. Leach's last bid for notoriety here was late last Fall, when he attempted to swim the lower river just below the falls. He failed when he tried to recover his false teeth which fell out, and was brought back to shore by a boat that had been following him. The feat was successfully accomplished a week or so later by 'William (Red) II111, veteran Canadian riverman, causing Leach much chagrin.

William H. on trial here, charged with the murder of two miners and defrauding an 'rsurance company of $89,000, was given a life Imprisonment sentence by a jury in the Flke County Circuit Court today. The jury deliberated three hours and 40 minutes, part of that time last night and the remainder today. Turner was accused of having dynamited the mine, of which he was superintendent, In order to collect insurance on his own life.

Henry Wilson and another miner, never identified, were killed. Turner disappeared after the explosion a year ago and the unidentified body was believed for a time to be his. The Turner family collected the insurance. On the stand, yesterday. Turner said that an Austrian named Paul Tope haf engineered the insurance fraud and that the actual explosion took place while he.

Turner, had gqne for mud to tamp down dynamite. He said Tope urged him to flee and that he wandered around the country, finally going to Europe.

White. one came for him. Then he wasi taken to the Chardon-st Home to spend the night. This morning he had a fine breakfast and the matron listened in detail to his story. It seemed plausible enough, and the result was that the authorities In Saco, Me, were communicated with.

Back came word that Paul lived there and had disappeared several days ago. A childs 'broken bank told tJhe story of how he financed his trip to Boston, nearly 100 miles away. Volunteers were searching the river down in Saco when word came that Paul was found. Paul father remarked when the news was given him in Saco that he thought the next step for his boy, Paul, would be a school for boys in Worcester. Perhaps Paul had a premonition or perhaps it wras only the call of the open, but at any rat he decided to move when he saw an unguarded door.

The matron had turned her back for a moment and when she looked around Paul was gone. She looked into Ilawklns and Bowker sts, where the Chardon-st Home Is located, but Paul had completely disappeared. Paul was and Is among the missing, and it is safe to say that he has not headed for Worcester. Attaches of the home hurried out Into the adjacent streets and they scanned the boys all the way to the North Station, but Paul had evidently taken some other course. Then the police were notified and they set about trying to find the missing lad.

W. KELSO TALKS OF BUSINESS ETHICS America Ignorant of the True Industrial Life Robert YV. Kelso, officer of the Boston "ouncil of Social Agencies, delivered a stirring address at the noon meeting in Kings Chapel today, in the general discussion of business ethics which has been in progress several days. Mr Kelso has manifestly no illusions as to big business and the glory of its alleged triumphs, nor is he, as betokened in his address, any materialist who has been submerged in columns of footings of profits, interest and' dividends. In his forcible 20-minute talk he said among other things that we were destined ultimately, perhaps, for absorption in the constellation of Lira.

But America is still Ignorant of the true industrial life, said he. The most usual experience of the curious traveler in these parts is to have a business man, in speaking of the growth of his city or town, take his caller out into rhe suburbs, and spreading his hand out over the city, say something like this: Twenty-five years ago all the area vonder was swamp and it now holds 25 factories. Today this city has 3000 more people In it than it had then. If one goes over the mountain top it Is only to 'be shown the condition of the arops, the chance for developing waterpower, the number of factory stacks visible, the resources, the products of that great and fertile valley which lies stretched out. And all the time the stars are shining overhead and no one sees! Men, women and children go into the factory, starting work each day according to the time clock and its system of going on every day as thev will go on to all time, obedient to this in- dustrial systef of ours, said the speaker.
