CORONER PROBES
 FATAL ACCIDENT .AT A. F & s. GO.

Coroner Phelan directed a practical trial today of the travelling coal car rying device, the collapse of which killed Domenico Valentino. 551 Harral avenue, in the yards of the East End plant. of the A. T.. & $. Co, yester- day.
 Visiting the plant late yesterday fol- lowing the report of Medical Exam finer Garlick, he took possession of a part of the weather worn steel sup port. that gave way while Valentino was at work underneath the travelling rigging
 He will submit the metal work to metal experts to ascertain whether there is criminal negligence on the part of the company's officials in maintaining the device in it's present 
 The coroner found that the bucket, supported at four corners, gave way at three of them, and was suspended by cable which held part of it from the ground. Two metal supports, badly rusted, and a cable, broke, drop ping the coal carrier containing ap- proximately three tons of coal, upon the head of Valentino.

is concerned"
 After much more discussion the committee decided to hold the meet ing Thursday night.
 The Business Mems communication follows: ;.
 The committee appointed to inves- tigate conditions regarding the de- lay in paving Fairfield avenue, finds that the paving of the avenue from Main street to Park avenue was or dered by the Common Council a year ago, last April, but that delays were caused for various reasons.
 The Paving Commission expected to do the work then, but certain com plications on State street and the torn-up condition of that thorough finish that work first. It also had the paving of Barnum Avenue under way. Before Fairfield Avenue could be paved it was necessary to build a new sewer from Broad Street to Courtland Street, and when bids were asked it was found the cost was pro- hibitory. because considerable blasting would have to be done. It was de- cided then to lay the sewer under the south trolley track, but the work can not be done until the Connecticut Company removes the track.
 The Connecticut Company obtained permission to lay ten.foot centers and the Common Council instructed the City Attorney to appeal to the courts, which was done. The objection was that there would not be sufficient room for vehicles at the side of the road. It has developed that neither City Attorney Pullmen nor former City Attorney Cullinan, are very san guine of victory on behalf of the city. The courts would decide whether the question was administrative or judi cial. If administrative it would be referred back to the. Public Utilities Commission, requiring more delay.
 Mayor Wilson has brought forward a statement that if ten-foot centers be permitted, the Connecticut Com pany would bear the expense of cut ting the sidewalks down wherever necessary. On investigation it does not appear that it is necessary to re- duce the width of the sidewalks. If the track can be laid in the center of the street, it is found that there will be ten feet and six inches of space from the outer rail to the curb on each side, with. the ten-root centers. This would seem practically sufficient although the .narrowness of. so prom inent thoroughfare is to be deplor- ed.
 The committee finds that members of the Common Council blame the Paving Commission, and vice versa, but without attempting to fix the re- sponsibflity forrtf1e delay and would point out that a condition exists which is inimical to the interests of merchants on Fairfield Avenue, and to the public generally.
 This committee would recommend that the Business Mems Association, through it's President, send commu- nicadon to the Common Council ask ing in view of all the circumstances attending thes case, that court pro- .ceedinRs be dropped and the Paving Commission be instructed to at once begin work on Fairfield avenue. se

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

E (Continued from Page One)
 A blue dressed girl with a pink hat sang the words of the anthem and the delegates joined forgetting F1inn and his speech. =
 When the song ended, Meyer Liss- ner got up and shouted "I. move that while we are waiting, the convention listen to addresses on party regular ity from Senator Penrose and Senator Crane,
 Root smiled at the sally and the crowd cheered Then the old chorus was started which goes, wen hang Boise Penrose to the sour apple tree"
 It was stated flatly in the Missouri delegation that Senator Murray Crane =te-day, called on Governor Hadley and asked him to accept the vice-presi dential nomination.; with President Taft. Hadley, it was said, refused tn consider the offer. f--.=s
 There was another report in the Missouri delegation but it lacked con-. firmation, that Crane also sounded Hadley on the question of whether. in case it should be deemed advisable he (IIadley) would accept the presi- dential nomination. Crane refused to discuss the report in any way.
 The leaders of the Taft forces were having difficulty securing a vice-pres- idential candidate. According to Congressman Sereno Payne, a deter mined effort was made to have Sena- tor Cummins accept the honor. He. was urged by telephone to agrwe hut refused point blank. His colleague, Senator Kenyon, was asked to run but refused. fsrS as. 1
 The Indiana delegates were boom ing Vice President Fairbanks and Jim Watson. .The latter, the 'swhip'' of the majoritv, had handled an extreme ly difficult situation in a masterly manner and many of the Taft dele- gates were singing his praises and urging that he be nominated. 9& ts.s
 Meanwhile, the Sherman boomers were insisting that, the Utica. mani would eventually be the choice.y | q
 According to Colonel Harry s. New, a real boom is in progress for Con-'l gressman Samuel w. Mccall, of Mass achusetts. for the Vice. Presidency. New said that Mccall would be nomi- mated in a minute were it not that the leaders did not want to go into1 New. Eng1and for their candfdate un-s less they had to.

 The delegates visited with each oth-il CT and some of the. pretty girls andfI women in. the galleries came down ou- to the floor to chat with the delegates while waiting for the credentials com mittee to finish the Texas contests.
