DUNN WOULD ELECT MEMBER OF PUBLIC
 UTILITIES BODY

There is nothing hesitating or un- pertain sim the answer of Daniel P. Dunn, Mayor of Wiflimantic, to the luery of the State Business Mems Association. regarding his attitude on heir public utilities bill.
 Mayor Dunn favors the bill, but he he commission may be elected by the people. His letter follows:
 Willimantic, Conn, Aug. 6, 1910. MT. Andrew R. Jones, President,
 '.State Business Mems Association,
 '.Danbury, Conn.
 Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your communication dated July 18th rela- live to regulation and supervision of public service corporati ms, also en- hosed copy of proposed act.
 Having been busily engaged this D the first opportunity I have had to rive your communication and act consideration. In reply and answer hat my record and work and efforts put forth in the last sessio-l of the Legislature for the passage of a pub ic service bill (not the Barnum bilD mould leave no doubt in the minds ,f the people of the State of Connec- lion as to where I stand in regard To the regulation of public service corporations. Your proposed act al most as a whole meets with my most hearty approval Perhaps few lhanges might be made that would ldd strength to the bill, but as a whole it is a f1rst-class bill.
 T personally believe the commis- ion should be elected by the people whose interests they are called on to protect, and if so elected, would not De as liable to fall into the political Fhirl or to be controlled by any party br corporation.
 "In the session of 1907 a few of my colleagues and myself worked for an Investigation of the existing condi- Hons in this State in regard to pub tc service corporations; with what result is well known. In the session If 1909 a strong effort was made to pass a public service bill along lines Iimilar to those embodied in your lct, butu either through political and corporate influence Cor other very persuasive and convincing arguments) he bill was defeated. The history ,f that fight is well known to the general public. Public sentiment is rowing, and I look forward to see ehe next Legislature pass a bill on Ines similar to those embodied in tour draft.
 "I stand today, as I have in the past, in favor of bill that is fair to nOneStIy invested cdplIdl, anu ldlT IO Elne general public (who are the peo- ble), and if in a position to assist in the passage of a bill similar to your lraft Cor stronger) it will receive my host hearty support; but it is up to he citizens of the various towns and Senatorial districts of the State of Connecticut to find out where those tandidates who are seeking nOmina- hons and elections to the next session bf the Legislature stand on this ques- hon; whether or not they are in fa- Tor of a bill similar to yours or a milk and water one that means noth- Ing. If the people see to it that men are sent who are favorable to their interests the earning of large dividends on watered stock at the kxpense of the public will be elimin- lted, and the people of the State of Connecticut will enjoy benefits which tightly belong to them.
 Yours truly,
 DANIEL P. DUNN"

NEGROES PROTEST AGAINST lYNCH|NG
 AND RACE RIOTS
Supreme Court Attacked For Not Stopping Mob Violence and Slaughter of Col0red Peo- pie in the South
Special from United Press,

SOpcCld1 1TOiH Ou1LeQ FTeSS.) Washington, Aug. 9.-Armed with
 fiery resolutions adopted at an ex- citing mass meeting, committee of prominent negroes of this city today began work on a plan to induce all the negroes of the United States to join in protest against lynching and race riots in the south and to de- mand protection and equal rights in all parts of the country. Texas was denounced and the whole south was arraigned; the supreme court of the United States was in- weighed against and the newspapers of the country were attacked amid scenes that at times bordered on riot.
 The race war at Palestine, Texas, was the chief cause of the protest against lynching in Florida and oth- Jack Johnson at Reno was one of the most importnt matters discussed Among the negroes present were Fed eral office holders, many of whom out rank white men in the service and some of whom have white women as their subordinates.
 Several of the most prominent speakers were negro preachers. Negro lawyers and other leaders of the race took an active part. The meeting was held in the Metropolitan Baptist church which was crowded to the doors The speakers were cheered wildly and each orator shouted his denunciation, some of them actually screaming in their excitement.
 H. A. Clark, one of the negro speakers, said:
 "The south has again made herself conspicuous by the recent lynching of innocent and defenceless negroes. In violation of the laws of God and man she has been the principle in three of the blackest epochs in the worlds history. namely, the epoch of slavery and rebellion and the period of Ku Kluxism and ballot box stuff ing and the era of lynching, dis franchisement and Jim Crowism.'
 Rev. I. N. Ross, of the Co1ored Metropolitan church, said:
 God wants the negroes to get to- gether and take care of themselves There are one hundred thousand ne- groes in Washington and they are told by the white people to run to God with everything They are taught to be afraid of themselves. They won't strike for themselves. If the supreme court of the United States had put down race rioting and bent all it's effort to stopping mob violence this Texas slaughter would never have occurred"
 Other speakers eXhorted the negroes throughout the country to use the ballot as their most effective weapon and join in a nation wide movement. Resolutions to this effect were adopt ed.

CORONER FINDS
 MANSLAUGHTER Henry Walter, Held For the Killing of Austin Fletcher,
 Struck by Auto Walters Car WasOperated With out License Numbers, and
 Carelessly Driven

Coroner Clifford B. Wilson filed 8 finding this morning explaining why he has caused Henry. Walters. a Norwalh autofst, to be held for manslaughter.
 Walters. July 4, 1910 ran into Austin Fletcher of Wilton, fracturing his skull Fletcher died of pyaemia on Aug. 1.
 The coroner finds that Walters made no attempt to stop his car, but the car was moving only ten miles an hour
 The coroner then says:
 The said deceased was a sickly boy and was treated for absesses. as well as the aforesaid injury while confined said fra -ture to his skull.
 The medical testimony is that he would have probably recovered from the injury were it not for the ab- sesses, and that he would have prob- ably recovered from the absesses were It not for the injury; and also that the fracture to his skull materially less- ened his powers of resistance and low cred his vitality.
 If an injury be sustained, while not in itself necessarily fatal. but which lowers a persons vitality or power of resistance to a disease from which he may be suffering at the time and in the slightest degree hastens such per sons death, the fact of the disease does not lessen the liability of the one inflicting such injury.
 While the said Henry Walters may not have been exceeding the statutory limitations as to the speed of auto mobiles at the time of the accident yet the law contemplates that, regard less Of such regulations, a person must at all times use reasonable care ana precaution in operating such machines being governed by the situation and surrounding circumstances in such in stance.
 T find that the death of said Austin Fletcher from pyaemia was hastened by fracture of the skull caused by being run into by an automobile driven by Henry Walters of South NorwaIk. Connecticut.
 That the said Henry Walters was operating an automobile at the time without displaying any license num- pers on the car. as required by law.
 That the said Henry Walters was crlm1nally negligent in operating the salo automobile and causing the death Of said A11Sfin ETat

 Waterbury went to Torrington yes terday and were defeated in a 3-1 game by the Coe Brass team. Old Man McParlin worked for the league leaders.
 Notice how the Mechanics have been getting their hits in clusters, in this repect beating out their oppon- to the Larks six, yet we shut them out 20-.

The boys have been playing the game from ev- cent better, the pitchers are just now going better than any other set in the league, while above all, as men tioned, the batting is timely. How can they loce with such work.
 The members of the local team will have something to work for now that Bill Hurley has made an offer of a suit of clothes to every member of for Bridgeport. Bill is a big booster for the Mechanics and is appreciative of their work With Hurley's offer and the cup donated to the best bat ter by G. W. Fairchild and Co.,, the boys have something to work for.
