CAME NEAR TO
BAD COLLISION

What would have proven one of
the worst disasters in recent years
on the Denver & Rio Grande was
narrowly ayerted last night at Tun-
mel, according to reports received
in this city today. 1t is said that
due TO the carelessness of the opera
tor at Tunnel a westbound freight
train was permitted to pass that sta
ton when orders had been issued for
a meet there. Running on No. 6's
time the freight plunged into the
canon this side of Tunnel when sud
denly the engineer saw the headlight
of No. loom up in the near distance.
He threw on his brakes and in re-
markably short distance had his train
under control and reversed. He
footed his whistle violently and the
passenger train, loaded to the guards
with passengers, was warned in time
to stop before the two trains were
piled up in a mass of wreckage.
When the two trains came to a
dead standstill they were but a few
yards apart and it was only due to
the fortunate shape of the track at
that particular point that the en-
gineer on the freight train was able
to see the passenger trains headlight
and prevent the fearful wreck which
would otherwise have been inevitable.

fed him as one of the assailants.
Early this morning Mrs. Soporow-
ski, according to the story which she
told to the police, was awakened by
noise at the front door of her
home. She listened, she says, and
the noise ceased, to be followed by
voices as of someone passing along
the alley next to the house. She be-
came frightened and opening the
window surprised the quartet at
tempting to open the rear door. They
became enraged, she says, at sight
of her, and seizing bricks hurled
them at the doors and windows Of
the house. One of the rocks crash
ed through panel of the door and
another went through window.
Patrolman Gutowski heard the
noise and upon investigation found
the men in the yard. He gave chase
but three of them escaped. He
caught Dombroski and brought him
back to the house, where, 1t is al
legged, he was identified by Mrs.

lookup and this morning, after a
hearing before Recorder Pickersgill,

PRES. SHEEHY
ON METHODS
IN SCHOOLS
Says That Board of Educa-
tion Is Ready To Receive
Suggestions.
IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED
Invites Fair Minded Citizens
TO Attend Meetings and
Express Views.
CANNOT W0RK HASTILY
Is Non CommittaI on Instruc-
lon--Cannot Lengthen
the Sessions.
CANNOT WORK HASTILY

President J. K. Sheehy, of the Board
of Education, presented his views to-
day relative to the discussion of school
methods in this city.
The discussion has grown extensive
ly so that it has become gossip in al
most every household. A citizen called
on Mr.. Sheehy last night with view
of asking for longer school hours. Com
munications in the NEWS during the
past few days have been seen by the
Board. The statement most empha-
sized by President Sheehy when seen
today, was that the new Board is aware
that changes are needed in the pres
ent school system. He said that the
board intends to try and remedy all
defects and make such improvements,
as seem for the bes4 interests Of all
concerned, as rapidly as possible.
Some of the people request changes
that are impossible, Mr. Sheehy says
and he has noted requests for altera-
tions that would conflict with the laws
of New Jersey and therefore could not
be made. One of these cb1kes is the
lengthening of school houN &e State
law regulates the hours a chH<mkah
attend school, besides regulating many
other affairs in the system, over which
the local Board has little or no con-
troll.
The present board is willing to listen
to all fair-minded citizens and invite
those with suggestions to make to at
tend any of the regular meetings and
present them. The work cannot be
done hastily, Mr.. Sheehy adds, for it
win require a little time TO undo what
other boards have been doing the past
twenty years. Mr.. Sheehy said with
emphasis that the one chief aim Of the
present board is to place the local
school system in a standard, equal to,
or better than any system in the state.
+--Relatiye to suggested changes in the
present methods of teaehiRF,1 55ssae-
I by would not commit himself lie In
| timated, however, that the subject of
instruction will be taken in hand by
the present board as far as possible.
The previous board left that important
matter almost entirely to the supefin-
tendent doing only such business as
building schools, engaging help and
purchasing material The present
board is willing to do all in its power
for the best interests of the city, but
they are all business men and find ~
difficult matter to devote all of their
time
President Sheehy says it would almost
require the entire time OF al. members
if the subject was to be properly ham
died. At any rate, he asserted the
members are going ahead and make inn
provements as quickly as they can.

one most seriously injured, who lost

Such accidents rarely happen
about Rocky Hill. Occasionally the
explosives refuse to go off and in
such cases they are usually left until
the next day. The long period un-

DISMISSES
THE APPEAL
Supreme Court Justice Park
er Hands Down Decision
in Local Case.
vAGENAs CHRIsTOP0LUs

Supreme Court Justice Parker
yesterday handed down decision
dismissing, with costs, the appeal
made by Lawyers Stephen f. Somo-
gyi and James S. Wight for a new
trial in the suit of Louis Vagenas
against James Christopolus. The
suit it will be remembered, caused
considerable comment in this city
last spring and was tried twice in
two weeks before Judge Lyon in the
district court. each time terminating
in a verdict for the full amount for
the plaintiff.
The suit was to recover wages
which Vagenas claimed was owed
him for services rendered in the Bos-
ton confectionery store in Smith
street. of which 'Christopolus is
manager. He claimed that he had
left that amount with his employer,
who kept a sort of bank in which
the employees deposited their money
and each week took only enough for
living expenses. When he rendered
his resignation, he said, his employ
er refused to refund the money, but
offered him instead check for
$93.3O. This he would not take and
engaging Joseph e. Stricken as coun-
sci, carried the case to the district
court.
According to record of the testi-
mony In the case, Christopolus de-
MEL owing the $223.S0, and said
that all he owed the employe was
the sum stated on the check. He
testified that Vagenas had been en-
gagged at $25 month instead of
$40, and he asserted that he had
paid the man from time to time
prior to his leaving in smaller
amounts.
The case appeared for the first
time on March 29 last, and then
again on April 8. Each time the
jury rendered a verdict In favor of
the plaintiff for the full amount.
Justice Parker's decision practi-
cally finishes the case, but there is a
possibility of 1t being reopened on
technicalities.
