WELL KNOWN MEN TESTIFY
 IN CITY COURT
Egbert A. Cook an Automobile Dealer Fined For Assault on Alg0tt Schulz

County Health Officer George E. Hill, and former State Fire Marshal John A. Rusling were among the wit when Egbert A. Cook, we'll known automobile dealer of Stamford, Conn. was on trial for assaulting Algott Schultz, a motor cyclist of 754 Con- necticut avenue this city, on the ev- ening of June 29.
 Cook paid a fine of s25 and costs
 He claimed that he was angered because Schultz was mOnopolizing the highway Judge Foster, a bicylist brought into play his knowledge oi the traffic conditions on the avenue over which he pedals daily, and held that Cook did not give the motor cyclist ample room as the automobile was drawing past the other vehicle.
 Cook was driving west in Fairfield avenue, at dusk, when the automobile drew up behind him. As they neared Norman street according to the tes- timony of witnesses, Cook crowded the motorcyclist to the curb, then there were words exchanged, whereupon Cook backed his car up to where the motorcyclist had dismounted and struck him.
 County Health Officer Hill, MT. Rusling and others hurried out to the scene of the disturbance and one of them advised the motorcycltst to get the automobile number. Then Schultz leaned over to get the number, and as the car started away, Cook, wit neses testified turned in towards the curb apparently to frighten the mo- torcycIist out of his path.
 Cook admitted the assault, but pleaded that the motorcyclist monopo- Iized the roadway and angered him until he was wrought to such a ner- vous pitch that he ran back and slapped him. Schultz was not badly hurt
 Detective Hall succeeded in locating the assailant. He and Schultz went to Stamford yesterday where the vic- tim pointed out his assailant.

Churches Should Aid Poor During
 The Hot Spells
Lady Johnstone Says Many Lives Could Have Been Saved Had Rich Churches Done Their Duty
lspecial from United Press. )

New York, July S.-Many of the lives lost in the present heat wave could have been saved had the churches done their duty to the in mates of the tenements, according to Lady Johnstone. wife of the British minister to The Hague. Highly in dignant over what she terms the lack of interest in the poor by the rich churches, Lady Johnstone said, to- day. she is taking steps to have the various ministerial bodies in the United States aroused. She wants the churches open to the public dur ing hot spells.
 If the women and babies of the crowded. districts, and especially the babies, had had cool places to sleep, many lives could have been saved.
 ''It seemed to me-" she said, "that if the edifices are adaptible for the uses of one class they are for .he other Instead of sleeping in unven- tilated, low ceilinged, stuffy bed rooms with not a breath of air, in the tenement districts the families might have been enjoying rest and air in a nearby church. The church might be cleaned every morning at a nominal cost"

IS C. J. LAKES AIRSHIP REALLY
 A SUBMARINE?
Inventor Denies Rumor that It Is Now at Bottom of
 the Sound
Admits Experiments But Denies that They Ended
 in a Watery Disaster


 When queried by Farmer repor- ter regarding a rumor that he had been recently testing his airship, and that it is now reposing at the bottom of Long Island sound, Christopher J. Lake, owner of the Bridgeport Aero drome this morning denied that his machine is under water but admitted that he has quietly been making tests with it.
 No, I think they must have me mixed up with someone else" said MT. Lake when told that there is a ru- nor that his airship is receiving a daily bath in the waters of the Sound, where it has reposed since an effort was made to fly it off a raft.
 Certainly there was nothing like that said Mir Lake,
 When asked if he would make any statements regarding his airship or the outcome of the tests he has made with it. MT. Lake replied in the nega- tive. He said that he preferred to keep it secret for the time being.
 MT. Lake has never disclosed the plans for his machine, which is be- lieved to be a combination dirigible and aeroplane.
 Whatever it is. MT. Lake is certahS that it isn't a Lake subnla rine boat anu15is willing to state that it is not now under Long Island Sound.

Motorman SmaSheS
 Right Hand On
 Strength Machine
Especial from United Press.)

Norwalk, July 8-One of the most peculiar accidents to be reported as having happened pleasure seekers was that which took place yesterday, at Savin Rock, when Tony Herrmenzi, of Westport. had nearly every bone in the back of his right hand broken and all of his knuckles badly dislo- cated. Herrmenzi met with the acci- dent while testing his strength on the machine which was very popular. The testor was so arranged that the showing was made when a person would hit plate with all his might. The man doubled his hand and with all his strength gathered brought down on the plate. The spring refus- ed to work and consequently the plate did not go down. The force with which his fist met the head of the machine was the cause of the acci- dent. He will not be able to work at his duties as a motorman for the remainder of the summer.
