RUNAWAY ON MAIN STREET.
pants Are Thrown Out and Seriously
Injured.

Joseph Locke, a well known local
horseman. with Benjamin Brown, were
out exercising a colt Monday evening
and after driving up and down Main
street several times got mixed up in
an accident, and a s a result not a little
damage was done and Mr.. Locke is
now receiving ~1eatment at st. Joseph's
hospital.
About $50 O'Clock the Locke outfit
rounded into Main street and the young
horse slipped and fell on the pavement.
and coming to his feet bolted up Main
street, and in passing the closed one
horse coupe of Lucius S. Bigelow
hooked into that vehicle and turned it
around in front of the Windham Ma
tional bank with such force as to over
turn it and spill out Miss Bigelow up
on the pavement, as well as the two
occupants of the Locke rig. Miss Bige-
low received a bad shaking up and was
somewhat bruised. She was taken into
the millinery store of Miss Matilda

home on Windham road Mr.. Locke

NUMBERS ON LETTERS.
They Indicate Clerks Who Distribute
Mail.

People who have private boxes in
the local postoffice have been more or
less mystified of late by the appear
ance of numbers stamped upon the
face or back of envelopes passing
through the Office and have hazarded
many guests as to their meaning, says
the Danbury News.
The number upon an envelope ipdi-
Gates the clerk who threw" or dis
triputsd, the mail of which that par

clerk has his own numb and it is
by this means that any errors that
may be made ara 1oeared and charged
against the right person. Errors in
the distribution of mail in the boxes
of the local Office are comparatively
few. as the clerks are exceptionally ca
pable and careful. but occasionally a
letter gets into the wrong box, and
the mistake is charged against the
man whose number is on the envelope.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Our New Ballot Law.

Mr.. Editor: I have seen numerous
criticisms of our new ballot law and
it's workings, but have not seen what
appears to me to be the greatest pos
sible defect, namely, the opportunity
to practically destroy the secrecy of
the ballot.
The booth tender may have the bal
lots punched on the stand, in the order
of their numbers, so that the first vot-
er will vote No@ /, and so on; then the
checker may check the voters, as 1, 2,
and so on.
So that it can be told. by the num-
Der, with q glance at the check list,
Just who voted any certain ticket in
the box.
The numbering should be dispensed
with, or the moderator of the day
should see that the ballots were care
fully mixed, as to their numbers

VISION; POSTAL BANK BILL
INTRODUCED.

Washington, D. G., May 1S.-The
regulars today began a fight on the
Smith amendment to the rail bill
which permits the interstate commits
sion to intervene, but continues the
national government as defendant.
Dolliver of Iowa opened the speaking.
President Taft today denied the re-
ports in circulation that recently he
had denounced the insurgents and had
used language to which these states
men took offense.
Several conferences were held yes
terday afternoon in Senator Aldrich's
room which were attended by most CT
the Republican regulars. 1t was re-
ported to them that the insurgents
were angry because Of reflections up
on them alleged to have been made in
conferences at the White House to
which they were not invited. These
reports created a great deal of ill-feel-
ing, and as result it was announced

the end of this week.
Oscar Lawler, author Of the famous
Lawler memorandum, wrathfully ac-
cused Attorney Brandeis for the prose-
cution of uttering deliberate untruths
just before the inquiry adjourned last
night.
Lawler, when called, to explain how
he prepared the memoranda for TAFT,
said that he prepared it without coll
sulting single person under heaven"
Lawler then got into controversy
with Brandeis when the latter tnt1-
mated that he and his department as
sociates had discussed how they could
evade furnishing Brandeis with the
copy of the memoranda.
Lawler, in anger, rose shouting:
"That statement is an absolute
falsehood by you, sir"
He later was placated and apollo
gized to the committee. Lawler said
that Taft had asked him to prepare an
opinion based on the evidence which
Taft had previously gone over. He
said that he burned the original, say
ing:
"I was confident that gum shoe men
had been on my trail and knew there
was no depths Of degradation to which
they would not stoop. was afraid that
some one in the Office might be cor
rupted as Kerby has been corrupted" +"
When asked who he thought was
behind him the "gum shoe men,
