James M. Curley and Dr. Joseph Santosuosso "corruptly" received a. total of $50,000 of the city's money out of the sum of $85,000 which Curley as Mayor in 1933 ordered paid in settlement of the General Equipment Corporation's suit against the city of Boston, Judge Frederick W. Fosdick ruled yesterday.

Judge Fosdick found Curley received $30,000 of the money and Santosuosso received $20,000. His ruling contained a decree that the money with interest be repaid to the city. Under that order Curley would pay $37,575 and Santosuosso would pay $25,050. Reached on the telephone at the Miami, hotel where he is staying, Curley said the case would be "communicated" to the Supreme Court and referred other questions to his attorney, Wendell P. Murray.

Appeal from Justice Fosdick's decision, made in Suffolk Superior Court, to the state's highest bench, by both Curley and Santosuosso was practically certain last night, although Curley used the word "communicated," and attorney Murray as well as Frank L. Simpson, Santosuosso's counsel, refused to comment. A reorganization or the prison system in Massachusetts, which will include transfer of certain officials and guards and. the addition of other guards, will be recommended by the Governor's representatives who investigated the cause of disturbances and unrest in Massachusetts penal institutions, it was learned last night. At the same time, Chairman Ralph W.

Robart of the Parole Board said that a women's league was responsible for many abuses at Sherborn Reformatory in connection with the indenture system. He refused to the statement, but it was learned that certain girls, eligible for release, had been held so that they would come i nder the indenture system and be available for work with wealthy families. Officials admitted that this situation was "being studied." In one case a shooting developed, in another an immoral of fense was committed, and there was reported to be evidence that girls had been returned to Sherborn because of immorality while on indenture. Commissioner of Correction Arthur T. Lyman said the indenture system had "a high degree of success;" that immorality might enter into any parole or indenture systems, but he believed in the indenture system.

To Deal With Overflow The Governor's committee will also recommend a method of caring for the overflow of prisoners which has already taxed the capacity of Charlestown State Prison, Norfolk Prison Colony, Concord Reformatory and Bridgewater State Farm. It was learned a prominent Boston politician is being checked as to pressure he may have exerted to obtain paroles or secure easy jobs or transfers for prisoners or convicts. The Governor's representatives in the probe have been Commissioner of Public Safety Eugene M. McSweeney, Paul C. Ryan, secretary rrisons Continued on Page 12 EX-GOV.

5 WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (A. The Roosevelt Administration set in motion tonight machinery to carry out the gigantic crop control program signed into law this afternoon by the Chief Executive. Declaring that the measure for regulation of farm production and marketing was "historic legislation," Mr. Roosevelt added that it represented "the winning of one more battle for an underlying farm policy that will endure." Presidential approval cleared the way for Secretary Wallace to exercise enormous power in dealing with such problems as overproduction and price-depressing surpluses of the five basic crops cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco and rice.

Obviously pleased at enactment of the bill which completed on Monday a rough journey through Congress, Wallace announced that the 2,250,000 cotton and tobacco farmers would be given an oppor- Farm Act Continued on Page 4 COLD FEET Chickens Have 'Em and as a Result Are Stolen SUNBURY, Fenn, Feb. 16 (A. -Even chickens have cold feet these "Winter nights and appreciate a foot-farmer, Five young men from Northumberland County discovered this weakness and ended up with jail sentences today for stealing chickens.

Kelly to Abide Ky Primary Vote in Governorship Race Regular Party Man, He Says Gov. Hurley Welcomes Entry; James Roosevelt Silent $20,000 BIND, GAG, ROB WOMAN OF $1200 Girl and Trio in Crime at Lawrence LAWRENCE, Feb. 16 Three masked men and an attractive girl bound, gagged, and robbed Mrs. Virginia H. Savoy, 45, "of $1200, a fur coat, and a dress in her apartment in the lodging house which she operates at 203 Haverhill tonight.

The three men, one of whom was armed, rapped at the door of the apartment, and pushed their way in followed by their comely accomplice when Mrs. Savoy went in answer to the knock. One of the men reached into a sweater where she had secreted the money tied in a handerchief. Most of the money was the down payment for the sale of the lodging house which she had completed early today at a local lawyer's office. Police were working on the theory that someone who had been in or near the building learned of the sale, followed her to the house and waited until she was alone before attempting the robbery.

Police Mystified Police were mystified, however, as to just how the men learned where and how she had hidden the money. According to her story to police, Mrs. Savoy, who has operated the lodging house here for many years, was alone in the house at 8:30 after returning from a for a new place to live when a knock came at the door. When she answered, the three masked men followed by the girl Robbery Continued on Page 15 port rail were all swept away and Muise and I went overboard.

16 (A. Great Britain and France, gravely worried over Germany's drastic move to force Nazi domination on Austria, decided tonight to ask Chancellor Adolf Hitler's Government to declare its future intentions regarding the country. This decision was made public after a second meeting of the British Cabinet, and was believed to reflect a joint 'Anglo-French understanding to strengthen their weak resistance against Nazi encroachment in Austria. British and French Ambassadors in Berlin were instructed, the Foreign Office announced, to approach the Reich Government with a request for information concerning the startling developments in Vienna. Forces Democracies9 Hand There was no doubt Hitler, in forcing the appointment of Nazi sympathizers to the Austrian Cabinet, at the same time forced Great Britain and Fance, occupied with rearming and obviously unready to go to war now, to decide whether to take a stronger stand in turbulent Europe.

Now they are confronted with only Austria Continued on Page 6 INMATE, SANE, DENIED1IBERTY 2 Doctors Oppose Lang, See Relapse Chance After hearing the superintendent of the Westboro State Hospital "unqualifiedly" recommend the release of an inmate once accused of a sex-crime and two other psychiatrists advise that he be kept there, Judge Wilford D.

THE WEATHER Forecast for Boston and Vicinity: Thursday fair and not quite so cold during the afternoon or night with moderate north winds; Friday warmer and possibly rain.

Judge Fosdick's ruling came on a suit in equity started more than a year ago by the city law department at the behest of, the then Mayor Frederick W.

Mansfield. It is the first time a Massachusetts court ever found a Mayor of Boston has illegally profited financially from conducting the city's business. The city's suit alleged a conspiracy between Curley, Santosuosso and Graves to retain $50,000 out of the settlement fund of the General Equipment Corporation case and asked that if the court found the money was retained, then Curley and Santosuosso, as trustees of the money, should repay it to the city. Finding on Capital Meeting The court fnds Frederick H. Graves, hired by Ernest W.

Brown, of New York, the insurers, worked on settlement of the damage suit with Santosuosso, whom the General Equipment Corporation had retained as attor ney. In November, 1933, Oraves went to Washington and there met Curley, according to the finding. Following is Judge Fosdick's findings of subsequent events; "On Nov. 14, 1933, F. H.

Graves registered as a guest at the Mayflower, a hotel in Washington, D. and remained there until Nov. 16, 1933. During that same period the defendant Curley was a guest at the same hotel. At sometime during that period he and F.

H. Graves met in the hotel and Graves said to Curley, in substance, 'Can't we settle the General Equipment To this Curley replied, in substance, Decision Continued on.

Mrs.

Ellis explained to the firemen that everything the family possessed was on the second floor of the burning building and that she wanted to remain on hand to protect her things. Capt. William Bowers of Protective 3 sent his men into the Ellis tenement with orders to save everything possible.

Gov Kelly declared last night that he will accept the decision of the Democratic voters in the primary and in the event of his own de feat will support the winner, even if he should be the present Governor. "I have always been a regular Democrat," said the Lieutenant Governor. "I shall abide by the decision of the Democratic voters in September." "I am confident, however," he added, "that when I thoroughly explain the liberal measures which I have been advancing without success the Democratic voters will make me their standard bearer in the November election." "Regular Parly Man" The Lieutenant-Governor's clarification of his position was comforting to Democratic observers because, in his original statement, he did not explicitly announce that he would Democrats Continued on Page 13 BABY RUSHED HERE, POLICE CLEAR WAY Mile-a-Minute Trip From Maine for Operation Little blue-eyed, blonde Leilani Jane Cahill sat up in her crib last night, cooing her happiness at being alive, following an operation performed at the Massachusetts General Hospital after a three-hour mile-a-minute automobile dash from Bath, Me. Brought here under escort of Maine and Massachusetts State Police, with her life endangered by the presence or a safety pin in her throat, the VJa-months-old girl was placed on the operating table. Doctors found that the open pin had passed to her stomach and will emerge naturally.

She will probably be released from the institution today. Police Escort Baby The girl, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cahill and granddaughter of Charles Cahill, former Mayor and postmaster of Bath, was started on the speedy trip shortly after 1 yesterday afternoon when Dr. E.
