BALDWIN HITS AUT0ISTS
Governor Approves Ex-Mayor ThOm
 Talk About Their Recklessness.

Ex-Mayor William E. Thoms of Wa terbury has received the following let ter from Gov. Simeon E.. Baldwin:
 New Haven, May 20 1912. Dear Mir. Thoms:
 I was glad to read your plain talk in the newspapers about the reckless ness of so many automobilists. They seem to assume that the risk is on the other man, if he doesn't look four ways and jump one, when they toot the horn
 The fault for permitting it is not with the courts. I think the last Leg islature missed a good chance, in leav- ing the rate of speed where it is
 Yours sincerely,

known American woman Of her day.

h was ninety years Old.
Miss Barton suffered an atuack &c
pneumonia in February, 1911, had
a relapse and the disease became
chronic. She went las as
usual, TO her old home in Oxford,
Mass, and returned to Glen Echo IN
feebier health last autumn. Weak
ness Of the heart developed and for
weeks the condition of the venerable
nurse had been such as to cause grave
concern among her friends. Her
bright mind was undimmed, almost
to the last and her ready wit and
quick repartee made her sick room
a place Of cheer to her attendants
With her when the end came were
her nephew, Stephen Barton, ef Bos-
ton, and DR.. j. Il. Hubben.
The great regret of Miss BartOn's
last months was that her enfeebled
condition made it necessary for her
to suspend work upon her ~autoblog-
raphy. She had brought this work
down only to the beginning Of her
public career as a Civil Var nurse.

Well as other data bearing upon her
International hospital work and n
memoirs which she herself began will
be completed by other hands. She
had outlined to her nephew, Stephen
Barton, what she considered the sa-
lient points in her public life.
The last years of the great Red
Cross nurse had been spent IL re-

home at Glen Echo. but passed a part
of Zach summer at her birthplace in

no affiliation with the organization
Of which she previously had been the

file a protest against the present at

from the embassy at Washington, in
which the opinion is expressed that
the United States is violating the spir-

be justified in filing a protest.
