CraZed Giant
 A Man Hurler
Edward Carroll Posses PedeStri- ans and Fights Five Police
 men

New York, July 13-Edward Carroll, a giant in stature-he stands feet 8 inches, and weighs 250 pounds-wa1ked up to a pedestrian on 138th street near the Alexander avenue corner in The Bronx, yesterday afternoon, grabbed him about the waist and threw him six feet out from the gutter line. Then he reached for another, throttled him and tossed him into the street as easily as he would have thrown a meat basket into a wagon.
 Those who saw CarrolPs face and his starting eyes yelled madly for help. Policeman Ulrich of the Alexander ran up and tackled Carroll. He was thrown on his back in twinkling and the big man placed foot on the po- liceman's neck, pinning him to the sidewalk. The policeman blew his whistle and Policemen Meyer and Hol- lister came running to his rescue.
 The giant took on the three almost as easily as he had one. Over and over across the cobbles the three roll ed, locked in straining embrace. Car roll bit first Hol1ister and then Meyer in the hands and on the arms. Not until two more policemen came up from the Alexander avenue station was the man subdued. All five sat on Lincoln hospital. Dr. Halla, who rode with it, said that he believed Carroll had suddenly become violently in- sane.
 Carroll was taken to Bellevue hos pital where he was put in the psycho- pathic ward.
 Carroll lives at 37s East 13stf street.

4Street Commissioner Solen of Chicago Lauds Work
 of Director Kenny

Brfdssport through the efficiency of tAn up-to-date public works depart Iment, working in cooperation with the other departments of the city, is fast attracting country wide attention be- cause of the improving conditions of Hts roads. Tuesday, James E. Solen. street commissioner of Chicago, visited this city and was quite impressed with the general conditions of the streets, and SO expressed himself. Along with ECommissioner Solen was c. W. Bayliss, manager of the Barber Asphalt Co.
 X Commissioner Solen inspected Fair field avenue from the West End via duct to the Ash Creek bridge which is being treated with liquid asphalt under the direction of the State High way department The new treatment is the purest asphalt which is obtained from Lake Trinidad. It is used both for a binder and dust layer, being applied to the road surface, and over ! it is laid sand or screenings. In Fair field avenue sand is being used.
 Commissioner Solen noted the condi- tion of the streets in the center of the l city and was much impressed. He left ] for New Haven yesterday afternoon, and later returned to Chicago.

INCOME TAX IS
 KNOCKED OUT
Measure Fails to Get Three F0urths of States to Ratify- Fifteen Against, Including Connecticut

New York, July 13-Although New York. by the action of the assembly. swings into the column of States which have ratified the proposed fed eral income tax and this brings the total up to thirty-one, tabulation shows that the necessary thirty-fve or three-fourths vote of the States is out of the question this year. Eff teen States have either defeated the have adjourned without taking action, or, having endorsed the measure in one branch, the Legislature has ad- journed with the other branch unre- corded in the matter. This accounts collectively for all forty-six States to date.
 Quitting Arkansas, whose Cover nor has raised nice constitutional question by vetoing endorsement of the amendment by both branches Of the States Legislature, but thirty votes in favor of the proposal remain. Thus it is obvious that further pro- gress must await the convening of new Legislatures. The fifteen States which have failed to endorse the amendment, either because of adverse action or by inactive adjournment are Connecticut (whose House killed the proposal yesterday, thus following the lead of the Senate); Delaware, Flor ida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Min nesota, New Hampshire, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, Utah, Rhode Isl- and, Virginia. Vermont, West Virginia and wyoming. Those. which have en- dorsed the amendment are:
 Alabama, Arkansas, California, Col orado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Mon tana, New York, Nevada, North Car olina. Missouri. Nebraska, North Da- kota, Ohio. Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washing ton and Wisconsin
 Albany, N. r.. July 13-New York States approval of a federal income tax was given yesterday when the assembly adopted by a vote of 91 to Az, Senator Wagner's resolution ratifying the proposed amendment to the United States constitution. The Senate adopted the measure some time ago.
 Only one Democrat broke away from the party pledge to support the resolution, and nine Republicans vot- ed "aye" despite the protests of their leaders.
 The Republican charge that New York State would suffer at the hands of the Western and Southern States. if the tax was imposed was met by the Democratic argument that the resolution only empowered Congress to levy such a tax and did not fix the manner in which 1t was to be levied,

Manufacturers Make Merry At
 Annual Outing

Bridgeport manufacturers to the number of about 150 shook business cares from their minds yesterday and took day off for their annual outing, which was held at Rivercliff, on the banks of the Housatonic in Milford.
 Most of the members made the jour ney by automobiles. On arriving at the scene of their picnic, they found everything had been prepared for them, even the weather, which was ideal. The main enjoyment of the day came in the guise of a delicious clam bake cooked under the direction of Capt. John A. Hall of Milford. Then there were amusing games and races of various kinds.
 Owing to. General Leonard Woods failure to keep his promise and attend the outing, there were no set speeches A number of vaudeville artists from Polls theatre sand the Lyric enter ta1ned the manufacturers. The party disbanded about o'clock after a, de- lightful day.

 A Charming Excursion.
 No resident of Bridgeport who is entertaining visitors should allow them to depart without giving them the pleasure of the daily matinee ex- cursions to Port Jefferson on the steamer Park City. Such a trip is al ways a source of delight to lovers of beautiful scenery, who enjoy a breath of sea air. Although it is only a small place, and unknown to fame, Port Jefferson possesses one of the lovehest harbors in the world, and there are far travelled people who rank the entrance to it with the Bay of Naples in point of natural beauty. Of course the architectural accessories and the storied associations are lack ing; but the stately conformation of the land is almost equally striking The harbor is particularly attractive during the month of July. The level afternoon light displays it's charming contours to perfection and the trip across the Sound is an ideal one Those who have never taken it have an unexpected pleasure in store for them, and will be fully repaid for their bit of exploration. Special matinee excursions are given every week day. leaving the wharf at the foot of Fair field avenue at 1:30 o'clock

 Following is an account printed by a local paper at the time of the death of the man who operated the draw;
 The train was the Boston express which left New York at o'clock. At the time of the accident the draw was open, and the draw tender was just about to close it. It had been opened about fifteen minutes before for the passage of the steamer Pa cific. The fact of the draw being open was communicated to the train Dy SlSHdl WHICH cOuSlSlSO OI IeO balll elevated upon pole. Unless this ball was in sight. the trains were forbidden to go upon the bridge. The train did not stop at South Norwalk, and, being about eight minutes late was hurrying upon its way to make up lost time. The engineer was at his post, the conductor in the second passenger car and unoccupied. The absence of the ball or signal was un- noticed, or, if noticed was unheeded. The train passed the depot and around the curve at a rate of not less than twenty miles per hour. When it reached about 300 feet of the draw two sudden sharp alarms of the whistle were blown; the engineer, the brakeman leaped from the train which rushed on into the open draw. The engine, tender, baggage car, smoking-car and two passenger-cars together with about half of the next car, plunged some twenty feet into the watery pit below in one mass of wreck. Persons who were near and saw the catastrophe say that the noise of the crash and the vail of the struggling and dying passengers were heart-rending to a degree, which language is utterly inadequate to de- scribe. The water being at full tide, nearly all lin the forward car were drowned. The number of lives lost was forty-four, and twenty-five were rescued from the wreck alive. eut badly injured. The caizrfty caus- ed great excitement, and indignation meetings were held, one at Norwalk and another at New Haven. The leg islature took the matter into consid- eration, and adopted a resolution re- quirfng all trains to stop at least one minute before passing any draw.

Marital Woes of Ethel Barrymore
 May Be Settled
Especial from United Press.)

New York, July 12-That the mari tai troubles of Ethel Barrymore Colt and her young millionaire husband are to be settled without recourse to the divorce courts was the general be- lief among friends of both parties, to- day. Frank M. Patterson, personal attorney for Colt, sctated that he did not believe the actress has. actually prepared any papers despite the re- ports from Los Angeles to that ef- feet.
 ''So far as we know" added Pat terson, significantly, there has been no real trouble between Mrs. Colt and her husband and he has given her no cause for divorce proceedings"
 At the offices of Dittenhover, Ger Der & James, who are said to be at torneys for Mrs. Colt, denial was made that they are acting in any such capacity. David Gerber, who has been described as personal attorney for Mrs. Colt said, through his pri- vata secretary.

Mccall Bitter On
 Initiative, Recall
 And Referendum
fsneciaI from JJnited Press, ],


 Cedar Point, O., July 13-A studied and bitter attack upon the initiative, referendum and recall was delivered before the State Bar association here, by Representative Mccall, (Rep.. Mass.).
 ''rhe advocates of the change from representative to direct government usually seek popular favor by dec orating themselves and their propos- als withF lofty adjectives," he declar- ed, "and the quality assumed by the advocates of the proposed changes they express in the word, Progress sive.'
 ''The typical initiative and referen- dunn speech usually proceeds upon the theory that, however careless each of us may be- however lacking in defi- mite and close study, yet in our col lective capacity we are incapable of doing wrong. One has to be very cautious in questioning the, omnipo- tent of the people in the collective capacity.
 'aThe referendum would afford a dodge responsibility. The recall of political officers would tend to make them constantly keep themselves in a plausible and easily advertised po- sition. We should always have gov ernment by the politician and not by the statesman.
 ''The recall of judiciary would sub- ject our judges to the liability of hav- ing to argue their decisions before the people upon a proceeding to dismiss them from office in disgrace The judge who desired to continue upon the bench would more diligently study the people than the law.
 Why hamper us with statutes and r constitutions of our own maker"
