CO.,
 ISSUES ORDERS
Employees Must Help State to
 Enforce Auto Laws
To Report Speed Violations Past Stationary Cars.-Notice With State Secretary's Letter
 Posted

The office of the Secretary of the State some time ago announced that it would do it's best to eliminate the reckless driver from Connecticut. It a little later announced that it was going to get after the violators who persisted in driving by stationary elec- tric cars at a rate of three miles an hour or more by asking the aid of the trolley superintendents A little later 1t was learned that many super intendents, looking out for the public's welfare, were heartily in favor of the suggested cooperation. The super intendents of the Connecticut Company reported immediately, and one letter said that notice would be posted di- recting their employees to report such violators. F. P. Harlan. manager of the Connecticut Company, has sent the State Secretary a copy of an order that has been posted for the company s employees. It reads as follows:
 THB CONNECTICUT COMPANY.
 General Order No. 434
 August 26, 1910. The following is copy of a letter
 STATE OF CONNECTICUT,
 ''Secretary's Office,
 August 15, 1910. Superintendent, Connecticut Company,
 New Haven, Conn.
 Dear Sir-Frequent complaints of a general nature have been received at this office of the violation on the part of motor vehicle operators with es- pecial regard to the reduction of speed upon passing any street car that is stationary, or about to stop on the sameside of the car on which, passen- gers are ordinarily received Tor dis charged. The law provides that an excess of three miles per hour shall be prfma facie evidence that the driver is operating the machine in a reckless manner and in violation of the law. No one is, perhaps, a more frequent observer of this than the conductor upon the street car, and it is also as important for the interests of the per- sons whom the street railways serve as it is for the State in determining persons capable of and entitled to re- ceive license to operate such ma chimes
 with the cooperation of your ser vice upon the street cars this office could receive information of the habit uaI reckless driver and upon investi- gating evidence thus given, withdraw the license which such persons are un- fit to hold.
 May we then ask for cooperation in the matter.
 Very truly yours, (SignedD MATTHEW H. ROGERS,
 Secretary.
 "By E. H. Lounsbury,
 'tCf Clerk" In event of conductor observing a violation of the speed laws as set forth in the above letter the conductor must make a written report to the superin- tendent, giving the location. direction, the machine and car were going, the license number of the machine, esti- mate of the speed at which the ma chine was travelling, and any other facts.
 Also get names and addresses of wit nesses.
 (Signed) J. B. JUDGE, Approved: Superintendent.
 (Sisned) F. P. Harlan,
 Manager.

A SMALL RED SPOT
Novel Experiment by Which It May
 Be Made to Disappear

A peculiar feature about p0slam, the Few skin discovery is that no ne is asked to buy it without first sending Go the Emergency. Laboratories No. g West Twenty-fifth street New York City, for an experimental sample and applying same to an affected part of the skin, about the size of a silver dol lar It will clear the spot so treated in twenty-four hours-a remarka ble visual demonstration of it's powers.
 While poslam has been mentioned principally in connection with the cure of eczema, the most stubborn of skin diseases. it must be remembered that when used for itch. hives. pimples, blotches, acne. itching feet, scaly scalp, chafiDg of infants and similar minor skin troubles iIs action is all the more pronounced, results being seen after an overnight application. As only a small quantity of poslam is necessary to cure such cases. special fifty-cent package, usually sufficient, has been placed on sale at Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy and other leading drug stores in Bridgeport and throughout the country.

NICE AND ROYCE MAKE 1.-THE WOLF"
 SPLENDID SUCCESS

Bridgeporters had a chance to see the Hartford players of the Poli act ing force, last night, when the first production of the Wolf was given with John Ince and Brigham Royce in the principal roles, the former as Jules, the young Canadian and the latter as Mcdonald an American en- gineer. .,
 Mir. Royce has previously been seen in Bridgeport. His work as the but Ter in ..The House of a Thousand Can dIes"S is' remembered with pleasure.
 Perceptible in the staging of the play and its action was the work of H Percy Meldon, formerly of the Bridgeport House. but more recently of the Hartford House.
 The play is remarkable from the fact that there is only one woman in the action, Hilda, daughter of the crazed Scotch settler, McTavish. She was Miss Jessie McAllister, who has a sweet voice, magnetic quality and much ability.
 One of the best scenes in the play is the fight in the twilight between the Wolf and Jules, in which of course virtue is at the last triumphant and evil is prostrate, for the Wolf is. alas, a sad dog, who makes business of seduction and who, having betray- ed the half-sister of Jules, would not betray Hilda, his sweetheart, the yell low haired girl about whose forlorn situation the play revolves like a top on it's pivot.

HUNDREDS OF
 ACCIDENTS ON
 TROLLEY LINES

To the Editor of The Farmer:-
 The last published report of the Board of Railroad Commissioners shows five hundred and eighty per sons killed or injured in a single year on the trolley lines in this State from causes beyond their own con- trol, that is without any negligence or fault Of their own whatsoever. Un- der our present laws these accidents occurring on street railway lines are not even reported to the railroad com missioners until the end of the fiscal year. If the accident is fatal the coroner may make an investigation for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of the accident and providing means to prevent it's repetition.
 Our status requires steam railroad companies to report accidents prompt ly and provides that the railroad com m!ssioners may investigate; but here also there is no requirement. that any body shall investigate the cause of the accident or seek to find means to prevent similar accidents in the fu- ture. Telephone and electric light companies, whose linemen are not un- commonly killed, never report the ac- cidents to any state official.
 Now this seems to the business men unreasonable; it is stupid to allow HuHdreOS or people 10 De annually killed and injured in this state from causes beyond their own control'' and to make no effort to ascertain the cause of the accident or the means of preventing its future recurrence. A dead man cannot be cured; there is no remedy for the loss of arms and legs; surely the proverbial ounce of prevention should be applied. Is it not worth little money to save this large annual economic waste? Is it not reasonable for the State to seek to prevent this human suffering The public utilities bill drafted by the State Business Mems association pro- vides that the proposed commission shall investigate and report as to the causes of accidents. and shall sug- gest means, if possible, whereby sfrni- lar accidents may be avoided in the future.'' Is it unreasonable to ask legislative candidates to approve of this feature of the bill?
 Your respectfully
 NORMAND F. ALLEN. U Chairman of Legislatfv Committee of
 State Business Mems Association.

AMENITIES GO UP
 FROM 63 TO 100
Mrs. SanbOrn Not Sure That Co., Respondents in Her Divorce Suit Won't be 200 Before She Gets Through
Special from United Press.)

New York, Aug. 30.-"If women are such fools as to write letters to me such as my wife found I can't help it''
 That is the philosophy of Roscoe H. Sanborn, whose wife discovered in his desk letters breathing love and devotion from 100 women. She says she will name most of them as CO., respondents in her suit for divorce and will make their letters exhibits.
 Sanborn says his wife may do as she pleases That the letters are in- nocent when the circumstances under which they were penned are consider ed. is his contention, and he says his wife is bringing suit in order to get advertising pending her return to the stage.
 T am not to, blame if women to whom I go to sell real estate like me" said Sanborn 'All of the let ters are from customers and show nothing wrong though they may be a bit more than friendly. In the real estate business you have to jolly peo- ple and not a single one of these letters shows that I ever kept date.''
 In explanation of her action in boosting the number of her husbands s'affinities'' from 63 to 100, Mrs. San born said today that her detective had brought her additional letters. "And I am not sure there won't be 200" she said, before we get through"

BROWN HAS RAVENS
 DELEGATION IN 10TH
Said that It Will Be Voted for Goodwin Against Hawey
 and to Gust Ravens from State Central Committee

Col Elmer H. Havens was a much dismayed man, yesterday, when he learned that the Tenth district Re- publican delegation, which he thought he had under his wing, had slipped out like a greased pig and that Sena- tori William R! Brown is the real pos sessor of the delegation. In fact Brown has always had the delega- ton and he believes that he will de- liver the three votes in the 23rd sen- atoriaI convention to Goodwin for governor and himself for senator. Ravens intended the delegation for Goodwin also, but did not intend that they should be for Brown. He was going to hold the delegates for Moses W. Manwaring, or for William H. Comley.
 Since the primaries Col. Havens has tried to get together with the Tenth district delegates who are A. J. Bodine, F. H. Day and Charles Scinto, but there was nothing the colonel had to say that seemed to have much weight with the delega- ton.
 The old time residents of the Tenth district who had determined to do what they could to induce Manwar- ing to run again for senator and the many friends of Judge Comley, in the Ninth district, who wanted him 10 run, were vexed last night when they heard the news that Brown had

TYSON AND DEATH
Stamford Millionaire Has Another
 Hair Raising Experience

Stamford, Conn, Aug. 3--John H.. Tyson, millionaire autOist, who twOs years ago won the Briarc1iff stock car trophy, and who has figured in stsrt~> divorce courts, almost lost his life on Saturday it was learned today in his new nydroplane, which he has ordered for the Farnsworth International Trophy elimination trials. The hv~ droplane is exceedingly fast. On Saturday Tyson and his sailor. Chrfss husky Norwegian, started for sae Sound to give the Boat a thorough X itryout.
 The two passed the Stamford light without trouble, and were well out frs the Sound when they struck rough stern of the hydroplane and sent tfe low bow beneath the water. The bow remained down for several minutes and the boat was almost completely filled with water. The two men had no life preservers with them and tf7e situation looked serious, The n1a- chine, however. kept on working and presently the bow reappeared.
 "The bow was under only few minutes" said young Tyson, "but those minutes seemed like ages to Chris and myself. We thought tke to make things worse there was not a movable object aboard which would float and give US a chance in tEe heavy swell. Everything was nailed fast, and we were in a bad prediea- ment Then the prow, forced by ths engine, began slowly to push up out of the water, and presently it was our of the sea again. The boat was r1ors than half full of water and we had to st in it and nurse the thing along slowly until we made Riverside.
 There was nothing with which Ts cOuld hail not even A hat
 Tyson, who is about 2f years oIf, was arrested once on the charge o< killing a man with his auto. He af- terward was sued for damages by fhs widow. He has been in several auTo smashes. After winning the Br5ar~ cliff trophy in 1908 he married Graes Starr The wife obtained a divorcs early this year, and within a short time Tyson married Dorothy Dav1d- son, who appeared several years ago in ssThe Mimic World, in the Casino Theatre, New York.

the delegation.

the delegation
 They made up their minds that someone had blundered in not hav- ing a primary ticket against Brown. But none were more astounded to hear that Brown had walked away with the goods than the followers of Sheriff Hawley, for they were given to understand that the delegates from the Tenth would vote for delegates to the county convention who would favor the nomination of State Audi tor Bailey of Bethel for sheriff.
 A supporter of Sheriff jHawley said, last night, before the primaries, that Col. Ravens had requested that no contest be made in the district and had promised that a ticket would be put in the field that would be for Haw1ey, although it was for Good win.
 The colonePs wish was compiled with and now he has not the dele gates thrown to Hawleys support.
 As Senator Brown is out for Bailey for sheriff he will probably try to have the majority of the votes in the 23rd senatorial district delivered tC Bailey in the city convention.
 Where the loss of the Tenth dis trict delegates most vitally affects Col. Havens is that it probably means his passing as a member of the Re- publican State Central committee and the selection of William, R. Brown in his place will probably Be made.
