'UkLUCKY I3 IS
 PROMINENT IN
 AUTO FATALITY

New Haven, Nov. 16.-That the un- lucky number ''13" figured wierdly in the Derby trolley-automobile tragedy of Sunday ill which Mrs Nelson Shaw of Bridgeport was killed came as a development today in the investiga- tion by Coroner Eli Mix of this city. Coroner Mix is at present busy in quIrInS into the crash and he learned today that not only did 1t occur on the 18th of the month, but that the number of the trolley car was '113' and the number of passengers exact ly Is. Carrying out the ill omen at tached to this number, unfortunate circumstances seem to blame for the tragedy more than carelessness on the part of anyone.
 The automobile, according to the coroner's inquiry to date, was on it's way to Shelton with the Bridgeport party when it was decided to turn around and take another road. Nell son Shaw was driving and he backed the machine around just beyond the corner where the trolley tracks turn One of the women passengers heard the sound of a trolley coming down the other road and screamed MT. Shaw in attempting to speed his ma- chine off the tracks evidently stall ed' the engine, and. the auto was left mot1onless in the very path of the trolley. The trolley swept around the curve a second later and al- though the motorman put on his re- verse the car slid ahead and crashed into the automobile. All the occupants of the auto were injured and Mrs Shaw was killed.

AGED VETERAN MAY BE DEAD OF
 LONG EXPOSURE

Forced to the conviction that the body of John R. Hull, aged S4, former commander of Elias Howe Jr.. Post, G. A. R., whose home is at 299 Union avenue, is lying in the woods or fields to the north of East Bridgeport, many friends of the old soldier, as well as comrades in Elias Howe post, are de- voting portions of each day to search ing for traces of the missing veter- an.
 The police department has secured the water front of East Bridgeport from Yellow Mill bridge to St. MI chaePs cemetery, without gaining g vestige of the missing man. Hull was once a policeman himself, and fol that reason the department has taken more than passing interest in the search for him.
 HulIs family, an aged wife, and 3 daughter and son, are convinced that he has perished from exposure. He disappeared a week ago last Monday night
 Police Commissioner Kershaw sug- gested to several members of the Elias Howe post today the advisability o1 their offering a reward to stimulate the interest of outlying towns in the search for Hull. Some such action may be taken at the meeting tonOr- row night.

SURPRISE FOR MIR.
 AND MRS. VIM. CHEW.

In honor of the twenty-second we'd
 ding anniversary Of MT. and Mrs.
 William Chew, of 31S Norman street, several of their friends rendered them genuine old-fashioned sur prise party at their home, last even- ing. Although it was a thorough surprise to the host and hostess, a right royal welcome was accorded, and the freedom of the hospitable home extended the guests. The hap with them, the Paragon orchestra, and goodly array of toothsome edibles, and an evening of perfect enjoyment was participated in by those fortunate enough to be present. A beautiful cut glass water bottle was presented to Mrs. Chew by her guests as a remem brance of the Oc- casion. The principal form of enter tainment was music, vocal and in- strumental followed by an elaborate repast served by local caterers. Among those present were MT. and Mrs. Mccormack, New Haven; MT. and Mrs. P. Kane, MT. and Mrs. J. W. Stevenson, MT. and Mrs. T. Crane, MT. and Mrs. Robert Campbell, Sergeant and Mrs. c. H. Suckley, Mrs. W. E. Grant, Mrs. J. B. Sheph- ard, Mrs. A. Campbell, Arnold Neal, Henry Neal, John Grant and Robert Campbell, Jr. MT. Chew is shining example of self made man. Coming to this city from Sheffield, England, some twenty-five years ago he has stea dily forged his way upward, until now, he is the prosperous owner of the leading West End market and provision house. He has been promi- nently mentioned as one of the Re- publican appointees of Mayor Buck ingham to one of the incoming com missions and 1t Is safe to say, no ap- pointmsnt would meet with more popular or greater favor.

APPLICATION FOR SUNDAY DANCE PERMIT
 LIES UPON TABLE

Unwilling to grant permission to Workmen's Circle. a Hebrew sick and death benefit society, to hold Sunday dance in December, the members ol the Board of Police Commissioners voted last night to withhold action or the application of the circle for per mission until an investigation may be made.
 E. T. Goldberg, appearing before the board as the spokesman for the Jewish organization. explained to- the commis- sioners that the Jews found it difficult to get crowds at their dances unless they held them Sunday and added that the society depended in great part up- on the annual dance for revenue to meet their obligations.
 The application for permission to hold the dance was signed by Ed Dvorken; E. T. Goldberg and A. s. Kaplof. For seven years the circle has held dances on Sundays Lately they secured an option on Eagles hall for Dec. IS, Sun day, making a deposit with the aerie for the same, and then asked Supt Birmingham for permission to hold their dance.
 Numerous Jewish balls and dances have been held here on Sunday nights, but before this time the matter has not come directly to the attention of the Board of Police Commissioners. No complaint has ever been made to the commissioners of these Jewish dances However they were averse to establishing the precedent of giving their official sanction to Sunday night dance. So they let the applica- ton lie on the table.

THE U. S. GOVERNMENT in it's Pure Food Law does not 'indorse" or guarantee any preparation. as some manufacturers in their advertise ments would make it appear. In the case of medicines the law provides that certain drugs shall be mentioned on the labels. if they are ingredients of the preparations.

In this issue of the Herald will be
found the advertisement of the San
Leon proposition San Leon, known
as the Bright Spot of Texas is
about midway between Houston and
Galveston and on the Trinity and
Dickinson Bays, and is ideally located

Pacific railroad, and is also accessible
by good auto roads, making an ideal
resort. The property has been in
spected by many of the leading peo-
pie in Houston, and many of them
have made investments there The
banks of Houston also indorse the
proposition, and a personal letter
from Editor Foster of the Houston
Chronicle to the Herald says he thinks
so well of the property and its future
that he has made good investments
there. Mr.. S. D. Arnold, formerly of
this city, and we'll known to most of
this people, is in Palestine represent

Torrey expressly states that he makes
nc charge for his personal services,
hut is pleased to receive whatever the
people give him as a free-will offer
ing. He does not even require that
his assistants be paid any amount
whatsoever. He guarantees them stip-
ulated sums, and leaves it to the peo-
pie interested as to whether they will
reimburse him. However, the people
are always glad to show their appre-
citation of the services of DR.. Torrey
and his colaborers, by both paying the
salaries of his helpers and present
ing the evangelist with a generous
purse The above statement is made
in view of the fact that some of our
people are laboring under a misappre-
hension regarding the facts. DR.. Tor
rey projects his campaigns upon a
high plane, and. it would be unfor-
tunate for any one to entertain erro-
neous views of his methods of work.
This statement holds good whether we
are to have DR.. Torrey with us in Oc
tober or not.
