The application was made by a
group of colored men, the major
ity of whom live in Salisbury.
They wished to open bank with
out capital stock. In view of the
fact that financial institutions run
by colored people in Maryland have
previously been unsuccessful, the
bank commissioner was disposed
to be very slow in giving approval
to such enterprises.

ACCIDENTS IN NAVY
Officers Deny Any Greater
Number Than In Indus
trial Plants of Equal Size.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Are there more
accidents in the United States Navy
than in any other navies? Are the
risks greater in service aboard the
modern Dreadnaught than in machin-
cry plants of an equal size on shore?
These two questions have been plac-
ed before naval officers so persistently
of late that they are determined to
prove to the public the reliability and
safety of battleship management by
American naval officers.
The criticisms against the frequency
of accidents in Uncle Sans navy come
from sources that demand considera-
ton. Following the recent boiler ex-
plosion aboard the Dreadnaught Della
ware in which nine men lost their lives
Representative Hobson, the expert of
the House on naval matters. and for
merly a United States Naval COnstruc-
tor, said that the frequency of these
accidents was due to the system pre-
vailing in the American navy of re-
quiring officers to do double duty,
fighting as we'll as engineering which
prevented them from becoming expert
in engineering or battleship manage
ment.
Concerning the accidents due to gun
explosions. Sir Hiram Maxim. an inter
national authority upon explosives.
stated that the fault should be laid
upon the kind of powder used in the
United States Navy.
The navy is fighting against such ac-
cusations with all it's might and main.
At the request of Secretary Meyer. the
Bureau Of Ordnance made an eXhauS-
tive study of the charges of Sir Hiram
Maxim and submitted a report deny
ing their truth. The Bureau laid the
blame upon the types of guns. an evil
which. they say. Is now being eradt.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-02-07
.ated and will soon disappear.

Gated and will soon disappear.
A special board of inquiry has been
appointed to probe the question of GER
tain gun explosions and ordnance ac-
cidents. Upon every accident of
serious nature the Navy Department
is appointing a board of examination
to make an exhaustive report.
The naval officers defend themselves
by saying that there are no more ac-
cidents in the U. S. Navy than in any
other but that there is no navy in the
world that permits such wide public
ity to be given every disaster. They
point out that the death of a few men,
in some factory ashore is purely a
matter of local interest commented up
on only in the press Of that neighbor-
hood. whereas the national character
of the navy causes the story of every
accident aboard ship to be heralded
in every corner of the country. 9th
er nations suppress the news Of such
accidents
The modern Dreadnaught. they say,
is a huge and complicated floating
machine shop. Even with every pre-
caution there is always an element
of danger under those circumstances,
thew could be compiled, would prove
more carefully protected than the ci-
william employee working under similar
conditions.
1t is very probable that some precise
upon this subject will be
gathered by the Navy Department and
published to show the true compare
tive extent of accidents in the Z. S.
Navy. This idea is being seriously dis
cussed st the Navy Department now.

OPPOSE PETITION
OF The DANBURY
BRIDGEPORT LINE
Residents of North Bridgeport
Don't Like Idea of Paying
aDOuble Fare

Nicholas ]. Tesiny headed a dele
CATION of about 80 North End prop
sr.y owned who appeared before the
Common Council last night at a pub
lie hearing in opposition to the petit
ton of the Bridgeport & Danbury
Railway company to locate its tracks
under its charter rights from the
present terminal of the Connecticut
Co tracks at Terry Place, northerly
TO the Trumbull town line. In favor
OF the petition appeared Attorney
Arthur III. Marsh. He said that the
chief opposition to the petition of his
clients seemed TO be based upon the
superstition that the company had
mad possession of the charter to
operate a railroad system between
Bridgeport and Danbury for a num-
per Of years and had not attempted
To proceed with the construction of
the road until short time ago.
The truth, he said, is that the
present stock holders did not obtain
possession of the charter until about
q year ago, ssince that time have been
actively engaged in surveying, secur-
ang n right of way, and making plans
for the construction and operation of
<he railway The Superior court, he
said. after a public hearing. had de-
csared that the road is a public neces-
sity. THE people in the North End
Of the town want trolley service, and
this company Is ready to give it. The
evidences OF the companys good faith
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-02-07

that they will not agree in this in
stance.
IF you don't give the Bridgeport e
Danbury Railway company the right
have you that the Connecticut Co.
will build III North Main street? The
Bridgeport company have a charter
to build to Long Hill, which it held
for IA years without building. 1t al
lowed it's charter rights to lapse. 1
understand that the Connecticut Co.
has asked for the permission to ex-
tend it's tracks in North Main street.
In the nature of things, it is not like
ly to get the charter until the middle
of the summer. And you will not get
the road until Fall, if you get it then.
/ know that the Bridgeport & DAN
bury road means business. Its sur
veyors have been at work for several
months. / have seen a contract for
100000 worth of steel rails. The
Connecticut Co. may build a road as
far as Bethany chapel, but will it
ever build line to tap the towns,
and rapidly growing sections Of
Bridgeport lying to the north of the
city? 1 think that you will find that
the New Haven road which controls
the Connecticut Co. is not building
many lines to parallel it's steam lines
Nicholas Tesiny said: There is a
strong sentiment against permitting
the Bridgeport & Danbury railway to
lay it's tracks in North Main street
This may sound strange, coming from
citizens who have been waiting for
the past decade for trolley service.
But we do not intend after waiting
so long. to encourage the building of
a line that will not take us into the
city Of Bridgeport for one fare and
which will not operate cars on the
same Roadway as they are operated
on other streets Of the city. I under
stand that this new company would
run it's cars on one hour Roadway.
1t would be no benefit to us to take
these cars then have to wait at the
terminal for the cars of the Connecti-
cut Co. Gentlemen if you grant per-
mission to this new company to lay
it's lines it will be jeopardizing the
accommo dations that we are entitled
to-"
He assured the aldermen that he

are now lying along the sides of the
road in North Main street.
Alderman Jackson wanted to know
if there would be a traffic agreement
between the Connecticut Co. and the
new company whereby patrons of the
bridgeport and Danbury road would
be able to come in to the city upon
the cars of the Connecticut Co. Mr..
Marsh said that his clients were will
ing to make such an agreement, that
other places and it would not be the
fault OF the new company if an agree
ment is not arranged. Alderman
jackson said that he was able to
state that the parties in control of
the new road were the same who con-
trolled and built the Shore Line rail-
road which now parallels the steam
line of the New Haven road for sew
eral miles eaSterly from New Haven.
He wanted to know of Attorney Marsh
if the railroad commissioners have
passed upon the rails the company
proposed to lay in North Bridgeport.
Attorney Arthur Hull OF Monroe,
said in part: 81 don't represent any
one particularly. but 1 come here in
the interests of private citizens, in
who want an opportunity to come TO
Bridgeport by trolley. People en-
gagged in the mercantile business in
your city know that we want a chance
to come to town to spend our money
with you.
IF the Danbury e. Bridgeport line
does not get a chance how are we
going to have trolley line that will
bring us to your town? We will
have to continue with the abominabIe
train service we have ON the Bridge
port branch of the Berkshire road.
have seen a letter from an Official
of the railroad to one of our citizens
in which he says We are not parti-
cularly concerned about building I'D
our passenger service. You think
Bridgeport is one of the best cities
in the state. For heaven sake give
us a chance to get down here and
enjoy it with you. The great eques-
ton here seems to be on the division
of fares. Railroads have agreed be-
fore, where their lines connected, as
they will here. There Is no reason

ad confidence in the promise of Vice

had confidence in the promise Of Vice
President auckland to build an eN-
tension of the Connecticut company's
lines. In answer to Attorney Marsh
who asked him why he placed SO
much confidence in the promise of
the Connecticut Co. now when the
Connecticut Co. had failed to build
when it had charter. Mr.. Tesiny
explained that the company had
started to build about two years ago
but as a result of differences with the
director of public works at that time
over the grade of the street, had been
obliged to discontinue its operations.
Vice President Calvert Townley of
the Connecticut Co. appeared. He
said: ITO make clear the position of
the Connecticut Co. so no chance can
be had to accuse the company of sup

company has had control of the

troll. AS for the petition of the
Bridgeport and Danbury railroad. our
company is perfectly willing to have
it build it's lines and to make any
the passage of cars from one line to
the other. We have such an ar
rangement in New Haven, Norwich
ant New London. These arrange
ments are not such as allow passeng-
ers to come in to the city for a
brings it's passengers to the ends of
our lines and the fare ends at the
connecting points. | can't see why
the Bridgeport and Danbury railway
can expect us to carry their passeng-
ers over our lines nor is it fair for rs
to expect them to carry our pas
sengers.
1--WE will build this extension Of
our line to Bethany chapel if a chart
er is granted to us. So you can rest
assured that there will be a line to
that point where passengers will be
carried from the center of the city
for one fare"

Alderman Jackson in supporting
the resolution said that there was
need for an increased revenue to the
city and that there was a general de-
