and seek only nominal damages.
Tonight two men were brought
ashore from the Coronet by health
officers and placed in a local hospital

others, six men and one child, died
with the same disease and were
buried at sea during the last few

From Forty Mile they had unbroken

pace was beginning &C tell on Kama.
His pride kept his mouth shut, but
the result of the chilling of his lungs
in the cold snap could not be con-
cealed They travelled till ten o'clock
the night they reached Selkirk, and at
six next morning they plunged ahead
into the next stretch of wilderness OF
nearly five hundred miles that lay be-
tween Selkirk and Dyea. There was
no let-up in his pace. Twelve hours
a day, six in the twilight and six In
the dark, they toiled on the trail.
Three hours were consumed in cook
ing, repairing harnesses, and making
and breaking camp, and the remaining
nine hours dogs and men slept as II
dead.
The time came when Kama was un-
able to go in the lead and break trail,
and it was proof that he was far gone
when he permitted Daylight to toll
all day at the heavy snowshoe work.
Lake by lake they crossed the string
of lakes from Marsh to Linderman,
and began the ascent of Chilcoot. By
all rights Daylight should have camped
below the last pitch of the pass at the
dim end of day; but he kept on and
over and down to Sheep Camp, while
behind him ragged snow storm that
would have delayed him twenty-four
hours. This last excessive strain broke
Kama completely. In the morning he
could not travel. At f1ve when called,
he sat up after struggle, groaned.
and sank back again. Daylight did
the camp work of both, harnessed the
dogs, and, when ready for the start.
rolled the helpless Indian in all three
sleeping robes and dashed him on top
of the sled. The going was good; they
were on their last lap; and he raced

and along the hard-packed trail that
led to Dyea post. And running still,
Kama grooming on top the load, and
Daylight leaping at the gee-pole to
avoid going under the runners of the

shook hands.
"You kill um dat damn Indian %

Daylight grinned.

and rolled over on his side, turning
his back In token of farewell.

Young Peabody was with B. C. Thompson. another Yale man, Mrs.
 Jessica Saunders, a divorcee of Mys-
 tic, Conn, and Lillian Forster, girl
 of tender years whose mother, Mrs.
 Jessie H. Forster, conducts a hostelry
 in Milford, where the party was or
 ganized.
 It was an exceptionally cold night,
 and nearly midnight when the quar-
 tet left Bridgeport. When they reach
 ed fork of the road in Stratford,
 they ran past the turn, and stopping
 the car to change their course they
 brought up on the trolley tracks. A
 Paradise Green car coming up from
 the rear crashed into the automobile,
 which remained stationed on the
 tracks despite the warning gong, and
 ground Mrs. Saunders under the
 wheels. tossed the other occupants out and wrecked the machine.
 Thompson who had a broken arm
 and other injuries, was placed aboard
 another trolley car with the injured
 woman. They were brought back to
 Bridgeport and taken in the ambu- lance to the Bridgeport hospital, where the woman died within a few hours. Miss Forster with Peabody made their way to Bridgeport and were about to hasten from the city in another auto mobile when they were apprehended by the police. Peabody was locked up and the woman taken home, to Milford.
 Evidence taken at the secret. inquest of the coroner eventually leaked out and it was learned that testimony showed that Peabody, who drove the car, had been drinking heavily. How ever, Coroner Wilson returned a find ing exonerating the students and hold | ing the motorman responsible Lock ed up unable to furnish bail he was held for trial in the Superior court on the charge of manslaughter after perfunctory hearing before the town these witnesses he would never say. | nish bail and went to jail, where he waited many days before the Connec- ! ticut O., through the intercession of !

 Our mayor has had to send the matter back to the aldermen in a special message after our two alder men had helped to vote it down and the mayor has had to say, It Is only right that the proposition should re- ceive the consideration of the board of aldermen and not be tabled
 Have we got tot continue having lobbyists going around dicfatfng to us? Tn this campaign let us ask our candidates

 These men who have so represent ed us come to us again in this cam paign and ask us for our suffrage.
 T believe that this organization fs going to be successful in the coming primaries. but if we are beaten it will be much better to loose fighting for the carrying out of our public promis- es to the people than to be succesa- full and know we have turned over our citizenship to the public servics corporations and machine rule. 1. William Flahsrty spoke upon the ad- visibility of every member of the or- ganizations getting out and workina for support of his ticket He believed that if the members of the orzanfza< tion went into the fight in earnest they would be successful

 Meridian, Miss, Oct. 11-For the first time since the question of the Demo- cratic Presidential candidate for 1912 has been before the public, John Sharp Williams, formerly Democratic leader of the House, and now United States Senator from Mississippi, today an- nounced that he will support Governor Wilson's candidacy
 T have given this subject much thought" said Senator Williams today, "and have come to the conclusion that Governor Wilson is the best man to nominate. He would be able, I think, to carry. the Vest and will stand g better chance in the North than any other available Democratic candidate. The South is also strong for him"

At a consolidated meeting of the Young Mems Independent Democra- tic Club of the Second district and the Second District Democratic club last night at 192 Railroad avenue, Aldermen John H. McMurray fired the opening gun in the campaign for supremacy in the district with a stirring speech. {
 A committee to nominate a delea gate ticket and a candidate for alder man, was nominated from the floor. The selections of the committee will come before the joint clubs for ap- proval or rejection at meeting to on by, President John J. Ford for an address Former Alderman McMurray said in part:
 "Be prepared to nominate men who will represent you. You want men to go into the Democratic city cil who are willing to wear the collar of the Democracy of the Second dis trict and not the collar of the public service corporations.
 Here is the place to come to build the foundation for your house. Let every man have something to say about who shall represent him. Let there be nothing cut and dried about the ticket that we put into the field. But after we have put our delegates ticket in the field let us put it on record as being pledged to the peo- ple's ownership of the electric light ing plant and for change in the party rules so that we will have di- rect primaries in this city We ae Democrats have been asking for di- rect primaries for two years and we mean to keep at it until we get It. We also voted for municipal owner ship of public utilities. You all know how our representatives in the Com mon Council acted upon that matter
 saThey were not willing that T should even be given consideration " the Common Council. When the mayor called the attention of the colinci1 to the matter in pursuance with the platform pledges of our party am sorry to say that 1t was an alderman from this district who moved that the matter be tabled.

They would swear that the actions of the driver of the car were not those of a man in his sober senses. to show that the motorman could not be held wholly responsible for the crash
 Why Coroner Wilson did not hear court of Stra tford He couldn't fur He has always maintained that he is the sole judge of how he shall hold his inquests, and he proposed to hold them secretly and with only such wit nesses as he cares to hear. But the outcome of the inquest brought a storm of disapproval, not alone from the trolieymen but from a consider able portion of the general public
 The release of Peterson on bail fur nished by the Connecticut Co allayed the storm and the matter had grad ually dropped from public attention. The case of Peterson still remained on the docket of the Superior court. That Peterson was not considered at fault by his employers is apparent from the fact that he has been and is now em- ployed on the local lines of the com pany.
 A few days ago States Attorney Stiles Judson, who had become thor oughly familiar with all the circum- stances attending the remarkable in- quest, quietly entered nolle in the case of Peterson, and notified his law yers, Giddings & Hughes, that their client had been relieved of the stigma placed upon him by Coroner Wilson's inquest.
 Mrs. Jessica Saunders, the dead wo- man, had led 9 cheekered career in various cities following an unfortun- ate marriage, that resulted in hers be- ing divorced The scandal following the wreck resulted in Peabody's Ieav- ing college soon afterward Miss For ster's mother recently instituted suit for heavy damages against the Con- necticut Co, claiming her daughter had not yet recovered from the wreck in juries and that the company was re- sponsible
