TESTING OF BIC BEAMS LOCAL EXPERIMENTS Series Being Carried on Here by the Forest Ser
 vice.
EXPERIMENTS

The forest service for some time past has been carrying on series of experiments at It's timber-testing sta- ton in this city to determine the ef- feet of continuous loads applied for long periods of time to wooden beams. The beams are tested by an ingenious apparatus which is so arranged that the load on the specimens is constant, however much they may bend.
 The most interesting part of the testing machine Is a large paper-co cov- cred drum, slowly revolving by clock work, upon which a continuous rec ord of the amount of bending in the specimen under test Is recorded This bending, or defection, is shown on the drum by a pencil mark, the pencil being connected to the center of the beam by a system of levers so arrang- ed as to considerably multiply the ac- tual bending of the beam before it is recorded on the drum.
 Information as to the effect of loads applied to wooden beams for long periods of time is not at present very definite, and it is expected that the results of the experiments now in progress in this city will furnish much valuable information which will be of great benefit to the lumber industry.

NOT A MURDER CASE Verdict Reached on Death of George Cotrell
 Friday. AUNT AND COUSIN HERE
  Permission Given for Body to be Taken
 Away.
AUNT AND COUSIN HERE

After more extended investigation into the death of George P. Cotrell, who was found dead under the rail- road bridge over West river, last Fri day morning by both deputy Coroner Pond and Medical Examiner Barnett of West Haven, these officials came to a verdict that the man met his death in an accidental manner The theory held Is that Cotren was hard up for money which Is borne out by the fact that he had nothing on his person when found and as the testi- n,ony of his aunt and cousin who came here yesterday would indicate to be correct Under these conditions it is supposed that Cotrell attempted to board freight train and instead was thrown under t or on one side and after being dragged fell through one of the trestles of the bridge.
 Dr. Barnett stated yesterday that he had decided that the death was purely an accidental one and that un- less circumstances that required it developed later there would be no more investigation made into the death by the authorities. He gave permission to the aunt of the dead man, Mrs. Emma Henry of Attleboro Falls, Mass, who came to this city yesterday, to take the body away for burial and arrangements have been mads for it's removal from the morgue of the Pierce, Graham and Hayes com pany, in Campbell avenue, tomorrow morning
 Mrs. Henry and Miss Lucy Brown, a cousin of the deceased, from Attle- boro, came to this city yesterday and were questioned about the young man by the examiners. The scene of the accident and the nature of the inju- ries were examined again minutely and the decision given above was then reached.
 The fact that there was nothing of value found upon him which was thought might indicate robbery Is not held so now. From the testimony of the two women in regard to the man it is thought unlikely that be would have anything of value about him.

AUGUST SCORE 101 All Fire Department Rec ords for One Month
 Smashed. YEAR125 AHEAD OFLAST Indications Are That 1907 Will Get the Red
 Ribbon.

Not only did the month of August break all records in the fire depart ment for the total number of alarms for single month, but it also set the year of 1907 well on its way to estab- fish record for the biggest year in the records of the local department August got over the century mark with total of just 101, which is just one score better than the month of July, also @ record smasher, and with the aid of these two months the year has been given total of 446, which Is only 7S less already than the entire product of last year, and is 125 ahead of the number scored by last year at the first of September. Of the alarms received last month 66 were stills and S5 were bell calls. There were three second alarms, of which two were for fires that resulted in quite large loss- es. The month of August in fire cir- oles Is usually accounted one of the quietest months of the year. The un- usual activity is largely laid to the dryness of the summer, which result ed In many calls for grass fires and other small alarms. ..
 Again the number of 101, which was the total for last month, the cor responding month of last year had but thirty, and the biggest month of the year 1908 had but 60 and that was the bad winter month of December. The total so far this year has reached 446 against Ss1 for this time last year and 524 for the entire year. It is figured that with even the average amount of fires for the remainder of the year this year will take away the ribbon for the largest number of alarms ever received. The present record was made two years ago when there wer 57S. Six hundrd mark is expected to be passed this year.

Commercial Operators Hope Not to Need Assistance
 From R. R. Men.

At a meeting of the New Haven lo- cal of the Commercial Photographers Union held yesterday afternoon, 1t was voted to levy an assessment of ono days pay on all members that the strike order does not affect.

The Commercial Photographers think they will be able to support the strikers until the differences with the compan- les are adjusted.
 President Loomis was reelected the head of the local and Frank Rowland was again chosen secretary. Several non-union operators throughout Con- necticut were admitted to member ship and encouraging reports were read showing that more are joining than deserting the ranks.
 All the returns from the dance given Friday night for the benefit of the strikers are not In, but a preliminary report by the secretary showed a great financial success.

 Your pastor has invited me to talk with you for a few moments on "The Significance of the Flag" It is an immense subject, and appeals to every man, woman and child in this great country.
 Our flag has inspired the people since the foundation of our nation was laid in the revolution. It has been the banner of war, and has never been disgraced, for the battles of the republic were necessary to obtain the prize of liberty and for the preserva- ton of union and peace Our flag stands for freedom and hope to all mankind. But it is not for war that our emblem gives It's noblest inspira- ton. sIt was never designed to lead us in conflict with other nations, unless we are assailed, or In the great cause of humanity, for which 1t becomes un- furled. For ourselves, as for man. kind, 1t means protection and fair play It was designed for peace as the banner of the people of the Unit ed States-a union organized for lib- erty and opportunity-tll badge of a people determined to be free, and de- termined to build a nation where all men are born free and are equal uh- der the law, where strife shall cease, and where the energies of man shall be exercised in education. industry and individual advancement, regard less of color, race or creed-a union of people determined to govern them selves under one common constitutions which shall forever guarantee happi- ness, so long as we stand firmly to- gether as democracy,
