ALIBI LETTER ADMITTED TO
 GRACE TRIAL

Atlanta, July s1-The prosecution in the Grace trial played it's strongest card today in the effort to establish that Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace attempted to murder her husband. Solicitor Dorsey produced the so-called alibi letter whose contents have been guarded but which the prosecution in- timated it would attempt to prove was forgery of Grace's writing. This missive, it was said, purported to have been written by Grace on the night of the attempted murder and alleged that he had been delayed in his Philadel- plia trip by arrival of friend at the Grace home.
 The prosecution sought to establish by the testimony of Lewis H. Hill, Grace's half-brother, that this letter had been enclosed in an envelope ad- dressed to Mrs. Grace, at Newman, Ga, and this, in turn, enclosed in an envelope sent to Mrs. I. S. Hill. The defense fought bitterly but unavailing- ly against admission of the test1- mony.

Especial to The Farmer.)

Shelton, July S1.-It was not until nearly 8 o'clock this morning that wrecking cars succeeded in clearing the two tracks of the branch of the western division between Botsford and this town of the wreckage resulting from the derailment last evening of the passenger train due here at TIA. Spreading rails dropped the engine to the roadbed on the brink of trestle, over which the locomotive pounded it's way on the ties, and escaped plunglng into the water beneath only because the guard rails proved effective.
 Engineer James Nichols of New Ha- ven. Travelling Beginner Al Camp of New Haven, and Fireman Sam Lyman of SIS Broad street experienced close calls from death in the cab of the de- Iafied locomotive while the hundred or more passengers in the three cars were badly shaken up as the locomo- dive bounded over the rails. The cars held to the tracks. "A

Bridgeport Fireman Sticks to Cab of eraed Locomotive as
 Runs Over TreSte on Ties

the train, running at about 45 miles an hour, threatened to pile up on the derailed locomotive. The cab swayed like a ship in a heavy sea, and the locomotive ran along for several hun dred feet, including the run over the trestle before it came to stop. The locomotive toppled half over the boil CT lying across the two tracks, the rest of the locomotive heading in the general> direction of the tracks. the wheels deep in the roadbed.
 All three occupants of the cab es- caped unhurt, remaining in the loco motive until it. came to a dead stop. The passengers rushed out of the three cars expecting to find fatalities when they saw the wreckage of the locomotive ahead and marvelled at the narrow escape of the crew.
 Conductor George Warner promptly notified headquarters of the wreck, and transferred his passengers to a freight train, shipped them into Shell ton where they were taken aboard a passenger train and sent into New Haven without great delay. The wrecking crew reached the scene at 10.30, loaded the engine back onto the rails. and at 2.45 leaving the tracks clear and in repair, steamed away to New Haven

 "This action is simply a fresh illus tration of the attitude of the Repub- lican bosses as shown in the national convention and every action since taken by the boss ridden and priyi- lege ridden machine which masquer- ades as the Republican party.
 ''Mr. Hilles, on behalf of MT. Taft, practically takes the position in his just published defense of the national committee that the people of Wash ington, California and Arizona have no right to express their will at the primaries.
 MT Mulvane and the Taft man agers of Kansas are now endeavoring to use the supreme court to prevent the people of Kansas from themselves saying whom they wish to vote for as candidates.
 There could be no better proof of the urgent need for the foundation of a new party which shall in good faith and reality and not as a sham. accept and act upon the doctrine that in this country the people themselves shall rule themselves.

There was hearing on the remonstrance before the county commissioners today. After hearing the testimony the commissioners an- nounced that they would view the premises before giving a decision

Among those. who were .aBpeseda tossthe4 pnlicatioil were Char les Gilbert, Gabriel Palistro and John Petrolone Attorney l. J. CoIln ap- peared for F. B. Curtis and Hattie Wells, who own property in the vicin- ity. The objections were filed upon the ground that the locality is unsuit- able for a saloon.

STRATF|ELD GETS TORNADO, RAIN
 AND SOME HAIL

Descending upon the Brothwel farm in Stratfield district Fairfield, with the velocity and fury of a genuine Kansas cyclone 8 small tornado tore a path an eighth of a mile wide and half a mile long through the farm, up- roofing trees, wrecking fences and leaving wake of destruction.
 No buildings were in the path of the storm, but of the uprooted trees two were mammoth elms, each nearly 75 feet high These were uprooted and dragged over the ground to consid- erable distance Others torn up were large apple tree and a butternut tree, while big limbs were torn off oth- CT trees and swept along the course of the disturbance.
 The tornado came with a spectacu- lar setting of lightning and peals or thunder, and in the immediate prox- imity of the Windstorm there was a violent hailstorm with the hail as big as marbles Two miles away. in Bridgeport, the moon was shining bright, with occasional clouds passing before it's face, and a few moments after the storm in Stratfield few rain drops fell in the center or the city. The wind had spent it's force and was only stiff breeze when It reached Bridgeport A few scattering rain drops and a gentle wind were the only evidence of the cyclone that reached here

 fore Supreme Court May
 Delay His Primary Ballot

Oyster Bay, July 31.-A bitter att tack on the Taft leaders in Kansas who have applied to the supreme court for a civil writ of error in the electors case was made by Colonel Roosevelt. today.

 Roosevelt then said:' "The Kansas people feel that the appeal cannot be successful and it was a fresh illus. .tration of the wicked way in which the effort is being made to twist the constitution so as to cause it to pro- tect privilege against the people In- stead of to protect the people against privilege"
 This is an effort by Taft leaders in Kansas to use the supreme court in order to deny to the people of Kansas the right of referendum un- der the Kansas laws to what was
 done in the Chicago convention Kan sas being the only state in the union where such a referendum was made at a legally conducted primary.
 The Kansas people feel. in accord , with the formal protest made by Gov ernor Stubbs that if the case is not decided by Thursday the whole pri- mary may be invalidated as Kansas County printers may be unable to print and the clerks legally to de- clare the ballots for the primary on August 6.
