HARTFORD AUTO PARTY
 IN SMASH AT WOODMQNT

Frank w. Lynch, a travelling sales man of 8 Florence street, Hartford, with his wife and sister. Miss Nancy Lynch, with Chauffeur Morris Tuck of the Capitol City Garage, were inn periled and painfully though not dan gerously hurt at the Chapel street trolley crossing, Woodmont,s last ev- ening. when they were in collision with a trolley car bound from New Haven to this city.
 Tuck saw his danger when it was too late to bring his car to stop. or get clear of the trolley. and he turned the automobile along the trolley tracks and tried to speed over the ties to es- cape the smash The car overlook the auto in a twinkling, and with a crash overturned the ma chine and spilled the occupants along the roadbed
 MT. Lynch suffered severe scalp wounds and was so badly stunned that at first it was feared his skull was fractured. The others escaped with slight injuries, except Chauffeur Tuck, who was unhurt The auto mobilists went to the Pembroke Hc*al. Woodmont, where pr. w. M Harts- jorn subjected them to an examina- tion and dressed the injuries of MT. Lynch.

FAIRFIELD

Fairfield, July 20.-Samuel Humphill, chauffeur for Mrs E. M. Davis of Soth street and Broadway, New York occupying Beech Knoll' at Fairfield beach, claims he was arrested We'd nesday by Sheriff Elwood and brought before Justice Bacon Wake man. He states he was apprehended While in Spring street by the Sheriff who claimed that he was violating a state statute relative to autos by run nlng' his car in this state with a New york state license. Sheriff Elwood denies that he arrested Humphill; Jus tice Wakeman denies that he ever heard the case. Yet Humphill ayers that Sheriff Elwood walked up to him stating that he was sorry that he would have to hold him, referring to
 Tumphin. Humphill states that Jus tlce Wakeman called up some author lty in Bridgeport, to whom when the conversation was completed he ans wered, Thank you John' He then informed Humphill that he was dis missed. Why Elwood and Wakeman deny that Humphill ever appeared be- fore them can only be surmised. Humphill knew the law in his partic- stood, but let Wakeman and Elwood carry the matter till they were satis- fled they were in the wrong
 Elwood arrested Humphill, actind on the statute that Connecticut state license must be secured by non- residents who have taken up their residence in this state. That law was repealed in 1911, but neither Elwood or Wakeman knew. but Humphill did. Mrs. Davis has been resident of Fairfield beach since July B. and un- der the new statute can remain in this state 30 days before taking out al license
 If Sheriff Elwood is so diligent in his carrying out of the automobile laws he could have had plenty of op- portunity to enforce the law during the past winter when students of the Hargrove school, mostly boys from1 New York state and either owners df autos or motor cycles, openly violat- ed the statutes. Two of the youths had New York state licenses all year; another was without license at all on his motor cycle riding on the side walk was a common practice with them; while one owner of a motor ey- cle was never known to own a muffler. Where's the req son?1

 Mrs. Brooks guest, Mrs. Bert Church, whose late husband was a druggist in this city, was thrown with her to the sidewalk, while MT. Brooks clung to the wheel of the machine. The car was not overturned, but was flung to the sidewalk and considerably damaged.

was demonstrated by the composure with which she accepted the premise of suffrage blanks in the platforms of the different political parties. With facts and figures at call she was aole to answer any of the questions which are invited at the meetings of the league.
 A letter from George B. Winton of Bridgeport expressing sympathy with the movement and regretting his in ability to be present. was read. Miss Elsie Hill was unable to be present on account of the arrival of relatives from Europe who needed her presence. R. T Beadle secretary of the Mems Equal Franchise League of New York city, was called to substitute for Max Eastman at meeting of the new Fro gressive, party and sent his regrets at the last moment.
 Representatives of the league from out of town were Mrs. F. l.. Roessler and daughter Marion of New Haven, who were delayed by terrible acci- dent at Woodnont, and did not ar rive till late. Mrs. William SWisler of Omaha. Neb.. Miss Gertrude Dud- ley of Newark Mrs. H. l.. Birge of Duluth. Minn., Mrs. E. l.. Herrick and Miss Claire Herrick of New York city, Charles $. Smith, Terryville.
 A large number of signatures were added to those who have openly de- clared for the equal franchise Many who had stopped for a moment in passing remained till the end Not only was the spacious lawn covered with people but the side walks in the vicinity were lined with interested lis- teners. The meeting revealed the ex- tent of the sentiment in favor of suf- frage in this town. It must be taken into account in the future and under the able leadership of the woman chos- en to direct the course of the league nothing but a square deal will be ac- tcepted.
 An amusing remark by an old horse man. who was present, was fair in dication of the sentiment among the conservative men present. This old stager of the track said sI never bet very heavy on wimmiffs rights but T tell you these wimmin are thorough breds. Pm going to sign up for them,
 The large audience was not only orderly but intensely interested. The civic clubs of the town, the fire de. partment and large attendance of unattached voters were on hand ana listened respectfully.
 The house was decorated with Am erican. flags and although provision was made for, seats to accommodate inc prospective attendance over half inc assemblage was obliged to stand.

Especial to The E'armer)
 Stratford, July 20-Although the sudden change in the temperature made it uncomfortably cold the lawn at the residence of Mrs. Rosamunda c. Winton, league organizer, was fill ed with people last night to hear the speakers present the claims Of women of this state for the ballot. The out pouring of people at this meeting was a surprise even to the promoters and it proved beyond all question that Stratford is the banner town in the state in it's advocacy of equal fran chise Mrs. Winton called the meet ing to order and introduced Mrs. Will liam T. Hincks, president of the State league as chairman. In her opening address Mrs. Hincks sounded the note of enthusiasm which characterized the meeting to the end. Mrs. Hincks is a winning and convincing talker and she paved the way for the succeeding speakers in a manner which demon strated the wisdom of her selection as president of the state organization. She introduced Rev. B. c. Carpenter, pastor of the Methodist church who was due to attend meeting of the new Progressive party and could re- main only a short time. The clergy man announced that he came to de- clare himself unequivocally in favor of extending the franchise to women. He believed the world would be bet
 
 promise of the progressive party to in sert an equal franchise plank in it's platform. MT. Carpenter told some good stories and his talks were re- ceived with enthusiasm. Miss Dotha Stone Pinneo. of NorWalk, who is li- brarian of that town, was received with expectancy for she has been heard here before She did not disappoint her admirers and mingled argument and story in manner which held the attention of the audience Mrs. Thom- as N Hepburn of Hartford, who is one of the capable speakers on the list of the state league held the attention of the large gathering from beginning to end. Unusually gifted in voice and magnetism she is the equal of any speaker ever heard in the town Un- affected and deepl yimpressed with the justice of her cause she bowled over every argument ever presented against the franchise.

 MAY BE THAT OF ANOTHER

Officials of this city familiar with the handling of bodies long exposed to the clements. are convinced that the body identified as that of Will liam A.

Overton of the Oyster boat Bishop: Owing to its Condition it was inferred without unnecessary delay.
