is supposed that the clerks will
strengthen their position as far as
possible. for It is understood most Of
them desire the retention of the pay

Vandais Made to Pay.

Good for the Appellate Division! 1t
has just decided that the owners OF
shade trees have rights, and that those
who cut trees down or mutilate them
without getting the owners consent
can be made to pay heavily for the
outrage, even though the devastation
done serves the convenience or saves
the money of large corporation.
This noble decision confirms Supreme
Court ruling against the Commercial
Construction Company of Suffolk
County, in a suit brought against it by
Charles D. Smith of Long Island City,
sixty of whose trees the company cut
down because they happened to be in
the way of house it was moving. Mr..
Smith fixed the value of the sixty trees
at $500, and the jury granted it, but
Justice Clarke, following the statue,
multiplied this amount by three.
Naturally, the Commercial Construc-
ton Company did not like that sort of
arithmetic, and the eminent politicians
interested in it took the case to the
Appellate Division They wasted their
time and money, for the Appellate Divi-
sion unanimously declares that Justice
Clarkes course was correct, and that
the 81 500 will have to be paid for the
$500 worth of trees.
If, now, like lesson can be taught
the village and town authorities that so
delight in cutting down trees, perhaps
they will not so often, hereafter, lay
low noble elm or maple merely be-
cause its preservation would necessitate
slight curve in flag sidewalk, or for
some other reason equally unimportant
and imbecile. New York Times.

WOMEN DIE IN AUTO WRECK
Skiddins Machine Hits Trolley
Tracks at Warehouse Point.

Hartford. BY the skiddlng of large
five-passenger touring car on the new
State Road at Warehouse Point, two
persons were killed, the driver of the
machine slightly injured, and the
machine wrecked while one woman
suffered severe shock. The machine
was owned by Theophile S. Mailloux of
Springfield, Mass, contractor. He
was driving the machine and his wife
was sitting on the front seat, while the
two other women, Miss Rose Ritchin,
aged as years, of North Adams, Mass,
and Mrs. Julia Ritchin, aged rs years,
of Henrysburg, Canada. were on the
rear seat and were killed.
The party had been to Hartford to
visit relatives and were returning to
Springfield and were intending to leave
for Lecola, Canada, next morning.
where Mrs. Mailoux's mother was i'll.
The accident occurred in front of John
Barry's house about half mile below
Warehouse Point Center on the road to
Hartford
In speaking of the accident Mr..
Barry said that first the machine
skidded in the road towards the trolley
car tracks on the left side, the rear
wheel striking first. blowing out the
tire. Then Mr.. Mailloux got the
machine into the middle of the road
when suddenly it skidded again and the
front tire burst. The machine toppled
over and pinned the two ladies on the
rear seat to the trolley tracks, from
where they were picked up and taken to
neighboring houses.
Mrs. Julian Ritchin died instantly of
fractured skull. The body was taken
into the home of Mrs. Arthur Pascoe,
near by. Miss Rosie Ritchin was taken
into the house of George o. p. Davis,
across the street, where she died half
an hour afterwards of fractured skull.
The accident happened at a point in
the road where several other accidents
have happened. The trolley track ex-
tend about five inches above the
macadam road and when the automo-
bile wheels struck the track the tire
burst causing the accident. Windham

AUTOlSTS CENSURED.
Colonel Cornell Has Praise for
Large Taxicab Companies.

Colonel Edward S. Cornell, secretary
of the National Highways Protective
Society, said that reckless idlers,
drunken chauffeurs, ignorant owners of
automobiles and irresponsible and reck-
less nighthawk cabmen were RESPONSE
BILE for the killing of SO persons and the
serious injury of 1855 others in the streets
of this city since January last. He
added he has sent a letter to Charles S.
Whitman, District Attorney, urging him
to single out those who are guilty of
recklessness and to make examples of
them whenever they are caught by pros
ecuting them vigorously and sending
them TO Jail. Colonel Cornell regards
the careless riders and the ningthawk
cabmen the most dangerous factors to
life here.
They often get away with it, owing
to the fact the accidents happen in the
night, the Colonel said. "In thirteen
cases in October last the operators of
motorcars who had caused serious acct
dents fled, thus violating the law in an
other way. New York Press.

Mr.. Wears automobile turned turtle

shaken up. is able to be around.
1t was 5:15 when the accident occurred.
The car was coming along the boulevard
and to avoid running into a bakery
wagon Mr.. Wear, who was driving,
turned sharply to go down road leading
to the shore. He struck some mud, the
car skidded, hit the gutter and turned
over. How the occupants escaped
