Project For Big
 Street Change
Option Seeking Along Rail road Cut Near Site of
 New Station

New Haven. Sept. 9.-Options on property adjacent to the railroad cut west of Cedar street. as far as How ard avenue, have been sought by cer- tain parties within the past ten days. The fact that these options were be- ing sought has given rise to the ru- nor that the New Haven road was in the market for additional land not only to further straighten the cut east of Howard avenue, but also to propose that the city join with 1t in extending New Union avenue from its present end at Liberty street along the cut to junction with Howard avenue at the bridge.
 A glance at a map of the city shows what valuable addition to the city's street scheme such an extension of New Union avenue would prove. By widening the Howard avenue bridge to the east to make the entrance to the new avenue easy of access it will be seen that New Union avenue would be practically an extension of Kim berly avenue and as such provide an important cut off for that section of the city and West Haven to the new depot and the business center of the city.
 In connection with the talk of the extension of New Union avenue it is said that the trolley road would ap~ ply for permission to lay a double track through the extension and run certain West Haven cars over that route. It Is estimated that about five minutes would be saved by such a route between the center of the city and Savin Rock. It was pointed out that by diverting an extension of New Union avenue many of the accidents that occur from running cars through narrow Portsea and Carlisle streets would be avoided. u

HITS LOAD OF CARTRIDGES
Trolley Car Runs Into Truck, Throw
 ing Driver to Street

New Haven. Sept. 9Whiqe crossing State street at Olive, last night, a Smedley truck, loaded with ninety cases of cartridges, was struck by a Lighthouse trolley car, precipitating the driver, Robert Foster, into the street and sending the horses and truck on a wild dash down Olive as far as Grand avenue, where they were finally brought to a stop.
 Foster had a remarkable escape from death Previous to the crash, he had pulled up his horse to avoid colliding with two gayly plumed autos, which were speeding through State street towards the center of the city, at a high rate of speed. As soon as the cars rushed by, Foster started across the tracks. but the ap- preaching trolley bore down on him and struck the rear wheel of the am- munition laden wagon before he could clear the rails. Tn his fal, Foster sustained inuries to his back. which prevented him from resuming his Journey. He narrowly escaped being run over by the frightened horses

DOG STARTS A FIRE
 IN NEW HAVEN

New Haven, Sept s-A strange dog made desperate by hunger jumped on- to a table and overturned a kerosene lamp which fell on the floor and set fire to the apartments of F. Todora at 143 Hamilton street at o'clock this morning. The flames badly damaged one room before extinguished by the firemen.
 Mrs. Todora was awakened from her sleep about o'clock this morning by a low growl and not wishing to wake her husband she got up herself to in- vestigate. When she got up she no- ticed the flame on the gas jet low, and thinking the gas was giving out, light ed kerosene lamp. An investigation failed to reveal anything unusual, and she went back to bed.
 A few minutes after she heard the noise of broken glass in the kitchen, and jumping up was just in time to see the lamp which had fallen to the floor explode. A sheet of flame spread about the floor and her screams awak- ened her anusband. A passer-by sent in an alarm of fire from Box 433.
 Seeing the parents in such, excite ment, the three little children of Mrs. Todora jumped from their beds and ran into the kitchen. Picking them up bodily the three at a time, MT. Todora scantfly clad, carried t11em down stairs from the second floor on to the street.
 The firemen arrived by that time. and with chemicals soon had the fire extinguished. The damage amounted to several hundred dollars, including several sore spots about the body of the hungry mongrel, which was last seen limping into Grand avenue from Hamilton street at aR early hour this morning. The strange dog got into the house undetected and got out in the excitement

Tom ShevIin Has Great New Play
Yale Coach Journeys 2,00O Miles to Give Informa- tion to Eli Football
 Coaches

Fresh from the slopes of the Pa cific, Tom Shevlin the famous Yale endrush, blew into the Eli football camp yesterday afternoon, with a play in mind which, according to himself and his select conf1dantes. is the very quintessence of gridiron strategy. Shevlin picked this play up in the far northwest and declares that it will be absolutely unique and practically 1nvincible when employed by the Yal- ensians on eastern football fields. 50 full of poSsi bilities is the new com binatiOn that the coaches are to hold it in reserve until the big games. It is rumored about however, that rudi- mentary variations of Shevlin's inn portation will be tried inf the early games-its full development to cul- minate with the Yale-Princeton bat tie.
 No piece of football strategy ever created such a thorough sensation in Yale gridiron circles as this prospect ed play. All the coaches agree that Shevlin's idea, properly utilized, will revolutionize the Bulldogs offensive play and introduce a new and spec tacular element into the present, open game. Of course the coaches refuse to divulge the details of the play, but the fact that these skeptical individu- als are waxing enthusiastic over it, is proof sufficient that the play is. an ex- traOrdinary cone.
 The inspiring presence of Tom Shevlin was undoubtedly responsible for the activity shown in yesterday s practice. Head Coach Jack Field and Dr. Arthur Brides were tempo rarily obscured by the mighty Tom and his strategetic revelation.

The eleven spent three hours at work. Because of rain the candidates did not visit the gridiron yesterday afternoon, but put in two hours at signal rehearsal in the gymnasium.
 Tom Shevlin travelled 1000 miles to bring'a new play which he has evolv- ed. He arrived during the morning practice. Shevlin caught the limited express for New York city. and will be back in St. Paul for supper to- night. He had breakfast there Thursday morning. The journey was taken solely to give Yale its new play, which he calls '-The Ace of Trumps."

GlIDDEN TOUR GIVES
 ROAD BUILDING BOOST

New York, Sept. 16-With score of the biggest men in pubic life in the South lined up in support of a nation al highway system and all sufficient ly interested to lend their presence to the Glidden Tour as wedge that will give road building a new impetus, the American touring classic looms up larger than ever before and prom ises to surpass anything ever attempt ed in the way of reliability contests and good road tours.
 Within the past week two more national characters have been recruit ed from the Gubernatorial and Con- gressional ranks and each is keenly interested in every phase of the tour, they are Crank Clark, of Jacksonville. Fla, who is a power in the lower branch of Congress, and Governor w. w.. Kitchin, of North Carolina.
 Representative Clark will ride in one of the Maxwell cars composing New York team No. 1, while Governor Kitchin will ride in a car rendered to him by the Winston-Salem Board of Trade as an escort to the Maxwell car, which Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has entered, the Georgia ex- ecutive having invited the governors of the seaboard states south of New York to be his guests through their
 
 was Governor Albert w. Gilchrist, of Florida
 Benjamin Briscoe, President of the United States Motor Company, fn- vited Congressman Clark to partici- lpate in the tour and see for himself just what the Glidden Tour means to the automobile industry and the development of highways. Through L.. A. Mitchell, Jacksonville dealer in Stoddard-Dayton cars, MT. Clark notified Mr. Briscoe that he would t'stick to the tour till the finish" At the same time Mir. Mitchell re- ported that Stoddard-Dayton car will probably be entered from Jackson ville In fact it may be said that entries of cars and teams are keep ing pace with the entry of prominent public men.
 Representative Clark will be a pas senger in Maxwell car No. 1, which will be driven by Harry E. Walls. ok Philadelphia, a veteran of former Gudden Tours. who won the sweep stakes trophy in the last Munsey Tour and helped to make the best team score in last years Gddden MT. Walls is on the selling staff of the United Motor Philadelphia Com pany.
 Maxwell No. will be piloted by Eugene G. Gager, who holds a simi- lar pidce Wlul tHe OHlleQ MOtOr P1ttS- burgh Company. MT. Gager drove a two-cylinder Maxwell runabout in the first New York-Atlanta Tour making a perfect score, and has also driven in Glidden Tours
 Thomas Costello, of Tarrytown, N. Y., will drive Maxwell car No. 3, and Governor Smiths car, which will car ry N0. will be driven by Arthur See, who, with Costello, has taken part in many important contests.
