Said to Be From Nor-

juries at Lodge Af-
fair
Is Charles Mace of 535 East 82nd
street. New York City, and Charles
Mace of Main street. Norwalk. the
same man? This is what Frank
Mace, the latter‘s father, is endeav-
oring to find out today.
A man giving the name of Charles
Mace was admitted to Bellevue hos-
pital Wednesday night badly burned
from the waist line to the calves of
both legs. He was so badly burned
that the- nerves were exposed. He
is said to have received his injuries
at a lodge initiation. -
The man, although told by Belle-
vue hospital authorities he might die.
refused to disclose the name of the
lodge.
Mace was brought to the Belle-
vue hospital in a taxicab and in-
formed-the physician in charge. Dr;
Kahn. he had just come from a
meeting of the lodge. After an ex-
amination Dr. Kahn said the near-
est diagnosis he could give was that
of ‘caustic erosion." Mace groun
his teeth while the large area. of e
posed nerves was covered with oil,
and was hardly able to stand the
torture of sitting in .a wheel chair
while he was wheeled into a. ward.
Mace said he had taken the oath
of secrecy and that he would not
be disloyal to his ncw‘lodge. Each
time he was asked to explain the
cause of his injuries he shook his
head.
The injured man is said to be
about 25 years old and a. lineman.
The reports so ncarly describe his
son that; Frank Mace fears that it
might be be. Mr. Mnoo is in New
York City investigating. James
les Mace, told a. Scntnlci reporter
his brother had not been hdmo in
more than 24 hours. This is one
of the things which made the father
7 k the inland man was his son.
' The Bellevue hospital was called
on the telephone by The Evening
Sentinel shortly beforo'press time.
The hospital authorities declare they
do not know whether Mace came.
from No‘rwalla They said thelr’rc-
cords show his address as 535 East
82nd street and that he was brought
to the hospital by Fred Taylor, also
of New York City.
~ The Charles Mace of Norwalk was
one of the firemen who figured in
the rescue work last Saturday night
when the automobile plunged of!
the New Canaan avenue bridge into
the Norwalk river drowning two
persons while two others survive.
Mace is an éx-scrvlce man and was
a- member of the American Legion.

Speaker at League of
Voters’ Convention
Pomts Out Indiffer-
ence of Big MaJothy.
---r--' «-.:.
BUFFALO. N. '2‘" April 25.-—The
outstanding problem of the League
is the finding of people to do the
work. Mrs. R. L. Normandle of
Boston. director of‘tho first region
of the National League of “'omen
Voters, told delegates to the fifth
-wu.....
annual convention this afternoon,
Mrs. D. Normandlo addressed the
convention on important factors ”in
the national league organization.
“The past four years show con-
siderable achievement toour cred-
it." she said. “We have developed
an inspiring program And an effi-
cicnt plan of work. but from now
on we should put great effort into
increasing our membership. if this
program is to live and breath in
further accomplishment. .
“One great difficulty is the over—
organization of our communities. I
know of one small town where there
are twenty-three separate organlw
tions. The same women meet
nearly every day under the name of
a different organization.
"Women divide‘themselves into
two groups," Mrs. De Normandie
continued. "Those.whose indifler-
ence has been due to ignorance or
misunderstanding of the league's
purpose, and those whose indiffer-
ence springs from a. species of com-
placence or laziness, which cannot
bring itself to look a. new idea in
the face.
“Though an optimist I must con—
fess this second group appears to be
the larger of the two and is hope
less for our purposes. But we should
be able to get every woman in the
first grou and though 'this group
may be s aller, there are enough 015
this kind of.» men in these United
States to ehan e the face of our po.
litical life if they can be- organized
fox-the effort towards good govern-
ment for which the league offers an
opportunity."
Effort should be directed Mrs. De-
Normandie declared more toward
increasing the rank and file of mem-
bership than toward the finding of
exceptional women for leadership.

described as one of the world's most
crying needs by the W'estministcr
Gazette which regards President
Coolidgc's recent New York speech
as "the latest of sevbral welcome
signs of a. change of tendency in
American policy."
The newspaper regrets the .view
taken by French papers that such a
conference is unnecessary because
the League of Nations is competent
to deal with the question. and de-
clares that the efforts of the league
and of a conference could quite
easily be made complementary.
The Daily Express inclines toward
the French view that the suggestion
may be "a. useful electioneering
point" for Mr. Coolidge. and adds:
, “The president's gesture may be
regarded at best as a pious hope.
for he heads a. dying government
whose chances of re-election are
enormously impaired by the oil
scandals. There has been so much
disarmament talk and so little dis-
position to bring it about that we
begin to despair of its use. The mo-
tive power- must come from Ameri‘
ca. but it must come with the force
of united public opinion behind it."

Norwalk a cleaner city. Rubbish in

spontaneous combustion. Fire Chief
George W. Bogardus said this morn-
ing that Norwalk has about 235 fires
a. year. He believes that merely rc-
moving these unnecessary accumul-
ations of rubbish will out down this
number by 100 or 150.

Wants R o a d Recon-

More Light and Bet-
ter Railing
BRIDGEPORT. April. 25 (Spe-
cial to The Sentinel).-Several im-
provements to the dangerous curve
from New Can avenue to the
bridge spanning e Nor-walk river.
are suggested in Coroner John J.
Phelan's finding today in the deaths
of John Urban, 27. and Vincent Du-
banowicz, 25. both of Bridgeport.
The deceased men with two corn-
panions. who escaped injury, were
occupants of a car. owned by Fr-
ban. that went over the bridge into
the swollen river. last Saturday
night. The coroner finds the oaths
were accidental.
Intending the reduce the likeli-
hood of another such tragedy. the
coroner recommends better lighting
and the “cutting down" of the
curve. He also advocates the erec-
tion of a. stronger railing on the
bridge.
The finding. in part. follows:
"Inspection of the locality of in—
jury appears to show a. necessity.
for the benefit of those of the tra-
veling public acquainted with its
possible dangers principally at
night. that the Norwalk or other
proper highway authorities ought
to give early consideration to the
better lighting of the place. pro-
vide a stronger bridge railing. and
for such a. modification of recon-
struction of the sharp turn to the
bridge. from the avenue or other
proper remedy as will eliminate or
minimize similar dangers in the fu-
lure."
