INJURED TRYING
TO SAVE CHILD

NEW Notwithstanding try

VINO mad started to cross Second Ave-
nue. In defiance of automobiles and
other dangers, Benjamin Goldman.
seven years old, of 323 East one Hun
urea ana t1tteenth Street, son of a
cIothlnS dealer, was knocked down
and instantly killed Tuesday afternoon

Verlingieri, who said he was a

Hundred and Sixteenth Street and
Second Avenue, when he saw the
other child start across the avenue.
benjamin ran toward the middle of
the street to meet the little one as
Nerlngieris machine hove in sight.
owing to the fact that an IL" train
was passing at the moment, bystand-
ers could not say whether Verlingieri
Dlew his horn or not. Anyhow, as
BehJamln seized the child and pushed
II out or dangers way the automobile
struck him and passed over him. a
woman, who tried to aid him. was
Srazed by the side of the car and
knocked down. Neither her name nor
that OF the child rescued could be OBJ
tanned, as they disappeared in the
crowd that gathered.
Verlingieri at once stopped his ma
chlne. The boy was taken to a near
by drugstore and an ambulance call
sent in TO Harlem Hospital. DR.. La
muth, who responded, said the little
boy had died instantly.
Later Coroner Holtzhauser issued a
writ for the removal of the BODY from
the East One Hundred and Fourth
street station, to which it had been
taken, to the boys home.

l wonder what they would say if they
went TO Japan and found some of my
countrywomen leaving their morning
bath or taking the first meal of the
day IN ball dresses or afternoon gowns.
l think they would say that Japanese
women are quite mad" The observ-
ing visitor also made criticisms of the
way American wear teh kimona. IF
they must wear the kimona," she said.
why don't they fasten it as we fasten
1t? II should lap over from left TO

a Japanese woman walks her draperies

clothes, they should wear them prop

Sunday Hunter Gets His

In an effort to break up the practice among foreigners in the town and vicin- ity of Torrington, of Sunday hunting, Officers Charles E. Nickerson, August H. Herring and Nicholas Calabrese re- gently arrested Rafael Silano, who was out in the woods in the town of Harwin. ton, with gun, on Sunday. He was brought before Justice William H. Homer, who found him guilty and fined him $1. which with the cost of prosecu. tion brought the price of his sport up to $1721.
 These foreign poachers have neither understanding of the law nor respect for it, and give the game wardens and deputies no end of trouble, frequently proving themselves desperate and dan- gerous subject to handle.

HORSE GORED BY DEER
SAVAGE BUCK BROKE
 INTO WARREN PASTURE
Case for which Game Law Provides No Remedy-Present Statute Reim- purses for Damage by Deer to Crops, Vegetables and Trees Only.

The Connecticut game protective law, as applied to deer, is bound to prove 8 source of perplexity to the lawmakers, and develop new and unexpected wrinkles that will demand never ending tinkering of the statute. r
 A recent deer performance in Warren, this county, has served to reveal defect in the law which will require legislative treatment. A big buck, that has been particularly bold and aggressive on the mountain i'll the Deighborhood of David Strong's farm, got into MT. Strong s pasture. and for some reason viciously attacked oue of his horses. which was so frightfully gored by the antlers of the deer, ln the encounter, that Veterinary Surgeon Osborn.of Cornwall Bridge pro. ! nounced its injuries probably fatal.
 MT. Strong made application to County Game Warden Ross, of Canaan. for compensation for the loss of the horse, under the provision of the law allowing damages for loss through marauding deer. This being an unusual case; War. den Ross brought the matter to the attention of Secretary Geer, of the state fish and game commission, and the peculiar situation presented itself that while the state provides for the reim. bursement of farmers and others for damage done by deer to crops, vegetables or fruit trees, it makes no provision for damage done by deer to domestic an. imals, and the conclusion of the com. mission's secretary is that Mir. Strong will have to get his damages awarded by special act of the legislature. ...-
 The circumstances will proba bly, result in an amendment to the law to provide for future eases of similar kind.
 Another hole in the law has been un. covered through t4e activity of certain dogs in this part of the county in run ming through the woods, chasing and killing deer or worrying them to death A number of instances of this kind have been brought to light, and the owners of the dogs are known, but no action can be taken because of the absence of any clause ill the law that provides for protection of deer against dogs. A man who goes out and shoots deer is subject to penalty of $IOO, but if his dog kills deer no action against its owner will stand.
 This is another defect in the law that will probably call for some healing aot of statesmanship at the hands of the in. coming legislature. ..s .'

SYMPATHY SAVES MAN ..
 WHO OVER-DROVE HORSE
Dashed With Livery Rig at Break Neck Speed to arrange for
 Mothers Burial. ;.

Monday afternoon a stranger applied to Liveryman Briggs for the use of a horse and buggy to drive to South Ca naan and back. As the only horse at that time available in the stable was MT. Briggs pet family horse, "Black Bess. she was placed at the mans dis posal, and he started off in the rig. Af- ter getting into Main street the horse was started on dead run through the town, the evident "hurry" of the driver being remarked upon in Rhoades' bar Der shop as the team whizzsd past. A few minutes later MT. Briggs came up street, and on being told of the treat ment his old pet was receiving he tele- phoned to South Canaan and learned from different point along the road that the outfit was making 2:20 time over the pike. He waited at the barber shop un- til the team returned. and as the animal was plainly exhausted he caused the ar. rest by Constable Rhoades of the driver. for over-driving the animal.
 The man, who was somewhat under the influence of liquor, gave the name of once prominent South Canaan family, denied that he had over-driven the horse, but was anxious to settle, as he desired to take the afternoon train east, He said he lived in Waterbury, where his mother had just died, and he had come on to arrange for her burial Tuesday in South Canaan, her old home. a
 This information awakened the sym pathy of MT. Briggs, who made a pri- Yate settlement with the man and al- lowed him to go, with some wholesome advice which, if needed, will be the making of him.
