The appalling death-rate from kid

The same precaution should be used
in other cases where there are a num-
Der of candidates and the ticket is
split.
How to Vote Split Ticket on
may wish to eliminate some candidate
from a vote, simply because you do
not want to vote for him. If there is
no opponent for whom you wish to
vote. write in the blank column some
name in the space opposite the name
you wish to eliminate. This will ac-
complish your purpose. Any name
probably would be permitted in the
blank column but it might be well to
use the actual name of q voter in the
town. rather than fictitious name.
Although the instructions on the bal
lot say something about not using a
name in the blank column which is
printed on the ticket a liberal con-
struction, it would seem, would allow
the use of name of a man even il
it is on the ballot. if it is written in
the blank column It place not CORE
ponding to the place where it appears

TWO BAD AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
Fred c. Hull Instantly Killed When Steel Rim Crashed
Into His Skull-Tire Had Just Been Inflated With
Compressed African and Auto Collide in West
Thames Street


Jr., had been sent to investigate, that
the body was found.
ThlS caused much excitement, and
as DR.. p. H. Hartman was passing he
was called in, but death had resulted
long before. Medical Examiner Dr. r.
w. kimball and Coroner f. H. Brown
were notified and visited the place and
the removal of the body was allowed,
Funeral Director eager taking charge
of it. Coroner Brown decided that 1t
was an accident, and found the cir
cunstances as above related.
Mr.. Hull came here about year
and half ago from Danbury, where
he had beeen a hat maker. Because of
poor health he became a chauffeur ana
has been employed by Miss Pope since
being here He was a. careful and
faithful employe, and his death caused
a great Shock to his employer. He
was twice married and is survived by
his second wife, who was Miss Ida G.
Wade. He belonged to an aerie of
Eagles in Danbury. He resided here
at No. 80 Uncas street.
Norwich bulletin., 1910-09-29

instantly killed was Fred G.. Hull,
aged so. chauffeur for Miss Sarah E.
Pope of No. 20f Broadway, on Wed
nesday morning about o'clock, when
the steel rim of the automobile wheel
was sent crashing into his skull by the
force of an exploding tire which it is
thought was inflated too much by the
chauffeur. In the opinion of the med
lcal examiner death occurred at once,
and he probably never knew what
struck him. The explosion was heard,
but it was not thought to come from
the garage. and it was not until an
hour or more later that his body was
found There has never been such an
accident here before.
Miss Pope and her guests were to go
to Providence at 9.15 on Wednesday
morning and Mr. Hull had arrived at
the garage early to make the neces-
sary preparations At the suggestion
of George w. Carroll, nephew of Miss
Pope. who stopped at the garage be-
fore o'clock Mr.. Hull gave his at
tention to one of the rear tires, which
doing this that he met his death,
though ordinarily no danger is attach
ed to it.
Mr.. Hull had seated himself on the
floor, with the tank of compressed air
for filling the tire between his legs.
IIefe udQ DeeH some trouble WITH the
new shoe on the wheel. and as the
steel rim did not fit tightly. Mr.. Hull
had used some clamps to keep it in
place The jack was under the wheel,
and it is supposed that he filed the
tire from the air tank, and possibly
brought too much pressure to bear on
the i'll fitting rim, so that when the tire
burst it threw the rim against his head
with terrific force, cutting it's way into
his head above his eyes, fracturing
the skull. He fell over backwards,
throwing the tools he was using as he
went, the steel rim lying beside the
body. The clamps which had been
used to hold the rim had given away.
The shoe is supposed to withstand 90
pounds pressure but there was no way
of indicating what pressure was put
upon it. Whether the rim or the tire
gave way first cannot be told
When it became time for Miss Pope
and her guests to leave, it was impos-
sible to find Mr.. Hull, and Samuel A.
Wolcott of San Antonio. Tex, visited
the garage twice and saw nothing of
him, not happening to go around the
auto so that he could see the body 1t
was not until Mr.. Carrolrs office had
been called. and G. Wyman Carroll,

COMMISSIONERS GO
 TO MONTGOMERY

For the purpose of attending the meet ing of the railroad commission in Mont gomery today w. D. Nesbitt and John A. Lusk, railroad commissioners left yes terday afternoon over the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
 In addition to the commissioners 1t Is expected that several railroad men from this city will attend the meeting today from Birmingham.
 One of the most interesting features of the meeting will be the hearing of the cotton export bill of lading matter which is being contested by several small cot ton towns The people in a petition to the commission alleged that when the railroad designated certain towns as validating agencies a discrimination injuring other towns was shown.
 The places not designated as validating points declare that pretty large volume of money is denied their banks on ac- count of the institutions being unable to handle the negotiable cotton export bills of lading.
 The commission will also take up the question of a depot at Bessemer, which has been on the docket for several months and other matters of routine nature.
