Bishop D0ane Calls
 Roosevelt Unsafe
HE ALSO DECLARES Ex-PREsI. DENTS CONDUCT IS
 ERRATIC.

Philadelphia, Feb. 20-Wnliam Cros- well Doane, Episcopal Bishop of the diocese of Albany, yesterday declared Theodore Roosevelt to be ''erratic, un- safe, and unfair,'' and said that Roose- welt could not be elected President if nominated.
 After declaring that Gov. Wilson of New Jersey ''is something like a pock- etbook edition of Roosevelt" Bishop
 president Taft should without a doubt be reelected by the people. He is the hope of the Republican party and the only man who can save the party from losing it's entire power.
 .'The nominal ton of Col. Roosevelt would be the worst possible thing for the Republicans There is no doubt in my mind but he would be badly defeated.
 There was 0 time when Col. Roose- welt was a, popular idol but that time has long since passed. There is not the demand for Col. Roosevelt through out the country that one might be led to believe.
 gro my mind, Gov. Harmon of Ohio is the strongest of the Democrats Against Roosevelt there would be no question of his election Col Roose- welt is wild, cratic. and unsafe. He should not be trusted with the reins of government, and the country would suffer by his election.
 At the present time he has assum- ed an unfair attitude He should come out squarely and either announce him self as a candidate or say that his retirement is final. No honest man ing his intentions He can always come out and make clear his position. Col. Roosevelt should have done So long ago.

CUT DOWN BY EXPRESS.
Branford Man Instantly Killed While
 Walking Railroad Track.

Branford, Feb. 20-John Marcus Johnson of this place, was struck and instantly killed by an express train bound for Boston near Blackstoneville yesterday afternoon, and his com panion Norman Carlson, also of Branford, had a narrow escape from being struck.
 The two men had been to Stony Creek and were returning to Branford walking on the railroad tracks. They stepped aside to allow a New Haven bound freight to pass, and at almost the same moment the Boston express came in sight. Johnson did not see the train coming, but Carlson did. He shouted a cry of warning, and jumped across the tracks. Johnson evidently did not hear him, because of the noise of the passing freight, for the next second the engine struck him, hurling him to one side.
 Johnson was badly mangled, his skull being fractured and almost ev- cry bone in his body broken.
