CHAUFFEUR POTTER
WAS GROSSLY NEGLIGENT
Coroner Brown Renders Finding on
Death of Mrs. Newhury.

Coroner Franklin II. Brown. after
a thorough investigation, finds Angus
tGs s. Potter, chauffeur for Mr. and
Mrs. George M. Landers, guilty Of
gross negligence and holds him re-
sponsible for the death Of Mrs. Chris
topher G. Newbury Of Waterford, who
died at the Memorial hospital a week
ago Saturday as the result of a frac-
tpre of the skull, received the previ-
Gus Thursday night, when she was
thrown from buggy which was
struck by the machine which Potter
was driving. The coroner finds that
the machine when 1t struck the buggy
occupied by Mrs. Newbury was going
at dangerous and excessive rate of
speed.
Potter is at present under $4,000
bonds awaiting trial before Justice of
the Peace Charles A. Gallup of Wa
terford Tuesday afternoon on charge
Of manslaughter. His license was sus-
pended week ago on the orders of
the secretary Of state, pending
further investigation into the circurn-
stances surrounding the death of the
victim.
In concluding his finding, under
cate Of January 20, Coroner Brown
says:
therefore find that Augustus s.
Potter was grossly negligent in oper-
ating the automobile Of which he had
charge at this time and that the death
Of Adelaide 1, Newbury was due to his
negligence.

Fine Vaudeville and MOTIF

Fine Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.
What was evidently an all-headline
bill in the estimation Of the many who
saw it on Monday was put on at the
auditorium, every act of the three
winning oft-repeated curtain calls for
the clever entertainers. In this pop
ular reception Of the bill, a Norwich
boy is a factor. since Billy Kirby, son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. James Kirby Of
Spalding street, is appearing in q
novelty singing and dancing sketch
with his partner, Miss Lillian Houston
Billy's friends were there in large
numbers on Monday. giving both him
self and his pretty partner an enthus-
iastic reception as they put on their
original and taking act.
Prince Kar-Mi and his Victoria
II oupe Of East Indian mysticists put
on the feature work of the bill, pre-
senting such a startling act of illus
ions, hypnotism, slate writing, and
transpositions Of the body as has not
often been seen here. They cap the
climax when Selma. the lady member
Of the troupe, slips from box in full
view of the audience, but without be-
ing seen, and reappears walking down
the aisle with a watch which is t0
be returned from the gentleman in the
audience from whom 1t has been Dor

VaudeviIIe and PhotopIays.

A bill which those who have seen it
say is worth twice the money is pre-
sented at Polls theater this week by
Manager Saunders and delighted the
audience at all three performances on
Monday.
Frank J. Hurley shows his skill as
trick harmonica player and banjo ma
nipulator, and he certainly can handle
those to perfection. He provides a
pleasing act and one which meets with
much favor
Maggie and Adams present little bit

and they get to the audience in great
style. regardless Of what they are do
ing. The third act Turner and De-
Armo, in Juggling pantomime furnish
plenty Of comedy, which makes laugh
ter and pleasing entertainment.
The photoplays for the opening OF the
week are great. There are four of the
best films to be secured, and the audi
ence thoroughly enjoys them. The
strong light and the new machines
certainly bring out all there is in the
films, and the pictures are leaders in
every respect

Cannot Be Wrong.

BY the indicator, q front view Of
which is shown in the accompanying
cut, a mistaken engine signal is made
impossible without the instant knowl-
edge of the captain or pilot. Should
the captain signal full speed ahead
and the engineer start the engine
astern, the very first revolution OF the
engine astern would be indicated to
the captain, showing him that mis-
toxic had been made and permitting
him to take advantage of that knowl-
edge before an accident could happen.
1t is built on the pneumatic principle,
it being worked by atmospheric pres
sure and it is automatic in all its
workings. One or more indicators can
be installed on any vessel, and every
indicator will work in unison. The
piping used is ordinary quarter inch
brass or iron pipe.
How It Works.
There is an indicator at the office
of the company which shows its work
inSs. As the cut shows, there are two
slots on the face of the indicator, both
Of which show blanks when the ship is
still As it starts ahead it is so 1ndi-
Gated by the word Ahead appearing
1T the opening and above it a green

tinues to go ahead. When the boat is
stopped the operating parts fall back
by gravity to their former position and
the light goes out. When the engine
is RUNNING backward "Astern" sho VS.
at the opening, and above 1t a red
electric bulb lights. The lights are
for use at night, being distinguished
better than the words in the open

The indicators have been tried oui

The Fish indicator Is an instrument
invented by Edwin A. Fish on which a
patent has been secured, and is for uEe
on boats for the purpose of informing
the captain or officer in the pilot
house as TO the movement of the yes
sell particularly in docking, and for
the purpose of informing him by indi-
eating such movement whether the
signals to the engine room have been
properly understood and are being car
ried out as directed.
Gives Positive Knowledge.
The indicator can be installed in the
pilot house, on the bridge, or anywhere
on the ship, and it gives positive
knowledge of the engine movements at
all times. 1t is acknowledged as the
most positive acting instrument on the
market-also the simplest with Moth
ing to get out of order. 1t takes up a
space less than six inches square and,
being made of brass throughout, has
no effect upon the compass. 1t is not
high priced instrument, but is indis-
pensable for the safe and efficient
handling Of all steam vessels. 1t works
accurately, regardless of the distance
from the engine room, and needs no
adjustment.
