AUTOMATIC CouPLERs.
Only Seventeen Per Cent of the Freigh
Cars in Service Equipped With the Lift
Savers.

Only Seventeen Per Cent of the Freight
Cars in Service Equipped With the Life
Savers.
The annual report of the railroad
commissioners, under that portion
treating of the condition of the rail-
roads, has the following to say about
the automatic couplers for freight cars.
and their opinion will meet the concur
renee of all railroad men and the hui
name of all classes:
The total number of freight cars in
service in this country is not far from
1000, 900, and it appears that only
about II per cent of that number are
supplied with automatic couplers. The
total number of freight cars owned by
the companies of this state is 10,799, of
which number 1,925, or about 1S per
cent, are furnished with automatic
couplers, and 1923, or about per cent,
with air brakes. When we consider
that throughout the whole country
three men are killed every two days.
and from IA to 90 are injured every day
in coupling and uncoupling freight cars
is seems as if it was a subject of sutfi.
cient Importance to receive prominent
attention, and after over four thousand
of automatic couplers have been
patented, it ought to be possible to Offer
some feasible solution of this problem
We think the time has come when al
least from ten to twenty per cent pei
year of the freight equipment should be
furnished with some automatic coupler

NEW HAVEN COUNTY DEMOCRATS
Caucus VIII Be Held After Adjournment
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow
Senator Holden of Ansonia and
Representatives Gum of Milford and
Roach of Wallingford, the New Haven
democratic county caucus committee,
have issued call for the caucus of the
democratic representatives in this
county to be held at the capitol to-mor-
row afternoon Immediately following
the adjournment.
The call states as the purpose of the
caucus "to nominate candidates for
county commissioners and judges of the
several courts"
1t is said that the house and senate
are likely to clash in regard to the COM
mittees. Many of the senators think
that upper branch should have larger
representation on the joint committees
than heretofore and will ask for the ap-
pointment of committee of conference
TO consider the advisabiIity of having
three senators on each committee.
The objection raised to this is that it
will impede legislation. 1t may happen
that senator would be a member OF
two committees, meeting at the same
time and postponement of a meeting
would delay business and there is sc
much to do that all possible haste
should be made, unless the genera
assembly cares to meet during the
summer.

ABOUT THE WEATHER.
Horace JOhnsOn's Record of the Winter
just 100 Years Ago

Horace JOhnson's Record of the Winter
just 100 Years Ago.
Horace johnson writes to the Hart
ford Post: 1.-The total of the various
snow falls for the winter of 1928, one
hundred years ago, amounted TO thirty
nine inches. During the month of
December, 1892, the fall was seven
inches. In the month of January, 1898,
light and one-half inches. February
had snow storms amounting to eighteen
inches; the greatest depth at one fall
was ten inches. The record for March
vas very small-only five and one-half
inches. The mercury did not drop to
zero during the winter. During the
month of January, 1905, snow fell to
the depth of fifty-seven inches in this
state, the greatest fall in January for
100 years"
In answer to questions about yester-
lays snow storm, johnson remarked
that it was little wee bantling in
comparison to what will be here be-
tween the 10th and the 21st of the
present month, when a regular get-up-
4nd-go-take-care- of yourself- storm
with accompanlments and full trim
mings, may be expected to galivant

prominent citizens of Watertown and a
retired New York broker, was struck by
an outward bound Naugatuck train at
the Bridgeport depot shortly after
o'clock last night and badly injured.

IDENTIFY misjudged the speed of the train

night. He had a bad scalp wound anC
in addition was injured internally.
Mr. Mclean is 20 years old, and is 1
