position or this kind.

ated with telephone companies since
his graduation from Harvard in
1905. was formerly executive vice-
Telegraph. He began as a pay-roll
clerk tor the Western Electric com-
pany in Chicago. later became eta.-
tistician for the New York Tele~
phone company in 1908. in 1922
was elected a director and vice-
president the following year.

Bethe! Woman Dies
After Fall at Home
DANBURY, Jan. 21.—-—'l'he funeral
of Mrs. Sistito. at Stony wllrjllslrlcl
Bethel. whose death occurred at the
hospital Sunday morning as the 1e-
sult of pneumonia. which developed
following a fall which the woman re-
ceived on her husband's farm and
which resulted in a broken neck.
was held at St. Peter's R. C. church.
DanburS'. yesterday. The scrnces
were conducted by the Rev. 1.90 M.
Finn.
Mrs. Sistiio who was 39 years old,
had her back broken on the Bctncl
term last Friday when a pile of to-
bacco on which she was standing
was struck and overturned when the
team her inisbsnd was driving col-
lided with it. the woman being pitch-
ed to the ground e1ght feet below.
Pneumonia developed during the
night and her death occurred about
36 hours later. She is survlvod by
her husband and two small children
and her father. wno resides in Italy.
A remarkable coincidence in con-
nection with the injury which in-
cidentally resulted in her death is
die the prosecution. The woman
prosecutor in turn declared Dorothy
would not b’e taken into the Juven-
ile Court for trial. and that she
would be prosecuted without regard
to her sex or tender ago.
Now the district attorney himseil
has taken a hand in the case. He
announced that the woman deputy
prosecutors are all wrong and thui
sex. age and kindliness are going to
be important considerations in deal-
ing with Dorothy. She will be given
a juvenile court hearing. he do-
clares. The presiding judge will de-
termine what disposition is to he
made of her case. whether she will
be prosecuted criminally o: a help-
ing hand extended to her.
