IN CHURCH ST. HOLE
Auto of Frederick Dayton, Sec retary at Rockers, Is
 Wrecked.
FRONT AXLE SNAPPED
Four-Inch Bad Spot in Front of Ton tine Will Result in a Suit
 Against City.

Acting on the principle that 1t Is an expedient thing to lock the stable door after the horse is stolen, red lights were placed by the city at the two worst holes in the Trinidad asphalt pavement of Church street last night after an automobile had struck one of them and had It's front axle broken, putting 1t out of commission until ex- tensive repairs have been made. Fred erick l.. Dayton. secretary of the Hooker Carriage company, of State street, was riding through Church street in hIs Acme car just before g o'clock, and when right in front of the Tontine hotel the forward wheels of the car suddenly struck the big hole that adjoins the new manhole cover of the Steam Heating company. The sudden jar took the auto just wrong and the forward axle snapped off, let ting the front part of the car, contain ing hood and machinery, right down on the steering apparatus and making 1t impossible further to operate the car.
 Mir. Dayton got out and after de- termining his difficulty reported the matter at police headquarters, whence an officer was sent out to investigate He reported that there was a hole there at least four inches in depth A telephone message was at once sent to the city supply house and red lights were brought up for the hole where the accident occurred and another al- most as bad near by. Mir. Dayton made complaint of their being no red lights to warn passers of the danger. ous condition of the street, and an- nounced that he would bring suit against the city for the damage done to his car. He had the car removed as soon as possible, as 1t could not be propelled at all
 The condition of the pavement fir Church street has been the subject oi a great deal of comment, which led tc a statement that work would be start ed on its repair last Thursday, but al meeting of the permanent paving commission after discussion with MT. Kendall, president of the com. pany which laid the pavement, delay of week was allowed. Is possible that the city may look to Mir. Kendall to reimburse 1t for the damages which may be awarded in suit against il by Mir. Dayton

After Trip to New York To-day Committee Will Get Down at Once to Preparing It
 for Next Meeting.
seo,ooo FOR "A pLAN1
Collection Planned to Be Done Like Street sprinkling Is Now-May Have Special Meeting of
 Aldermen.

Minus Its chairman, Alderman l. Ed. mund Miller, the special aldermanio committee which is Investigating Ina garbage situation will depart this morning for New York city to look over the inclnerator plant for the borough of Richmond as an addition to the two they have already seen Chairman Mil- Ter Is liable to get away for the trip andn therefore will not accompany the rest of the members.
 After this ,triyp the committee will set right down to work on its report on the matter and will try to get 1t entire- ly made up this week, The first meet- inng towards this end will occur in a night or two and although several nights are necessary according to Chair tails into form the report should be ready about in about a week. The re- port will not name any special mako of plant at all but will be made to in- clude sum for the erection of an incin- eration plant and also for the other expenses which will be required in con- nection with II. The sum asked will be for the erection of the plant itself will be in all probability $s0.ooo. The corn- mittee has received offers for the erec- | ton of warranted incinerator plants from American and foreign companies for from $i2,000 as a minimum figure Up to S6O,0o0. The lowest figure Is for plant capable of taking care of SO tons of garbage and refuse day and that Is figured shoudl' be large enough for New Haven. The other figures are for plants approximately the same sizs The low priced plsnt-is not a crude af- fair either, according to MT. Miller and Is guaranteed to the cost of construc. tion. 9t
 The plan of the committee is to asle for an appropriation first and if that is secured to decide afterwards on tho plant to be erected, Furthermore 1t is planned to have the collection of sar- bage done under the same system as thes present street sprinkling in this city. The plan is to have the city own the carts and hire the men and horses for the day and to have city inspectors look after them. It is figured that this will be cheaper than having complete city collection just as 1t Is cheaper in the sprnkling work
 As the next regular meeting night of the Board Is Labor day when no meet Ing will be held 1t Is suggested that there be a special meeting of the board probably the last Monday in this month If the committee report Is all ready and at thiis time action will be taken on the matter. If unanimous consent Is asked and the matter passes that night 1t can go to the Board of Finance with tho rest of the estimates next month.

GRILsE COMES IN SECOND

With spinnakers get and ballooners flowing, the twenty -one foot Seawanha- ka knockabouts, led by the Katona. Capt. Fred Catlin, crossed the finish line shortly after four o'clock yester- day afternoon, thereby ending their an- nual long distance race.
 The Katona well deserves the cup which has been offered in this contest, for it was the last of the quartet to round the stakeboat at Larchmcnt.
 Despite the varying winds with which the shippers were troubled. very good time was made by all the boats.
 Tho start was made Saturday morn. ing at 11;25 in light northerly breeze. This continued until the boats were of Woodmont, where thu %ind shifted to the southwest. From here on the winds continued bafillins all night, until the boats had reached this side of Larch- mont. where breeze sprung up from the north
 Al morning the wind held from this direction until about ii o'clock when of Norwalk, the wind shifted to the southwest From here the boats made a record run to New Haven. coming in in a very close and exciting finish.
 The Petrel, with Skip Rawson a, the helm, took the lead at the start, but shortly aftcrward the Katona, Capt Catlin. wrested it from the former and held 1t until of Norwalk. From here down the other knockabouts took a crack In leading, all of them at one time or another having lead tha, would be considered safe In a short dis tance race.
 Considerable difficulty was experience ed by some of the shippers in findins the stakeboat at Larchmont, owing tc their not being acquainted with the locality
 The boats rounded the stakeboat here i'm very close order, the Petrel leading while the Bretona, GrIlse and Katona followed in the order named. The time of the first boat around was taken unofficially, as 2:52.
 In returning, all the boats, exceptinf the Grilse, Capt Champion, remainct well punched, the Bretona, Capt Dur ham, slightly in the lead. The Grilse however, stood well off toward Lonf Island shore after rounding tlie stake boat and when she joined the flee again she had comfortable lead.
 The Katona, however. worked uy on her, and when off Stratford tool the lead and held 1t until the hnisl | line was reached.
 The first news of the racers reach ed here when Captain Hardy of thu steamer Richard Peck telephone t, Chairman Osborn of the race com mittee saying that he had sighted thu boats while off Bridgeport
 This is the second annual long dist ance race of the yacht club, the con test last year being won by Myror Durham's Pretona after following II the wake of the fleet from Larchmon up, closing In al the finish and cross 1 ing the finish line a few minute ahead of the rest

The partially which mothers are

which some mothers certainly do
show--may do little harm in the ear
lier years of family life, when the
father perhaps, balances it by a spe-

when the buoyancy of youth carries
such injustice lightly. But on daugh-

heavily. The lot of the unmarried
woman on whom falls the care. and
even the maintenance of a widowed
