STATEMENT OF ALDERMAN
 DANIEL B. WALKER

To the Editor of The Farmer
 Sir:-I have written the following letter to MT. Stiles Judson which re- quest you to publish:
 It has been called to my attention that on Thursday, June 12th, 1913, you did in a public manner make a state ment concerning me substantially as follows:
 When the September term opens and bench warrants are available I shall endeavor to correct some of the judi cial errors of the city couTt.''
 This man was caught foul and one could not ask for cleaner detective work than that. The city court looks bad to me, as if it were in the con tro1 of politicians. Dan Walker inter yened in this case"
 '~The judge of this court must as- sume responsibility of public opinion for his act.''
 Meaning and intending thereby to convey and conveying the irnpr ession to the public that I interested myself in behalf of the man alluded to in said statement, one Bernstein, whom I do not know, never have seen or spoken to- in an unlawful manner to proc Rre for him from said court some unlaw- full favor.
 As said statement is an unqualified lie and utterly false and malicious hereby give you notice that unless you make an immediate retraction in writing, in as public a manner as said statement was made, so far as it con cerns me, I shall be compelled to have recourse to legal action against you to recover damages for the injury that you have done to my reputation and ity by reason of the said false and malicious statement herein described.
 Very truly yours,

MIR. MELLEN'S
 STATEMENT T

New York, June 13.-Char1es S. Mellen, president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, 1s- sued 9, statement here, this afternoon, in which he said:
 'fNo man in this country feels more keenly sorrow and sympathy for the dead and injured than I do. Every precaution had been taken to prevent accidents of this kind and of any other character occurring on the New England lines which experience could suggest and human ingenuity devise. Doherty, the engineer, ran past the signals and that was the cause of the accident and no other cause.''
 MT. Mellen here repeats what had been previously announced that he had directed the roads officials to rem der the fullest cooperation to all au- authorities concerned in the inVesti- gation and adds that the wooden car which was crushed belonged not to the New Haven but to the Pullman com pany.
 Half dozen months ago. he says, '.the New. York New Haven & Hart ford turned over it's sleeping and par Tor equipment to the Pullman Com pany, that company agreeing to furnish all steel cars to replace the others and it has been doing so. The locomotive was of the latest and best type of railway engine and was new. Tt was
  dered by me several months aga"
 An unsigned statement issuing ffNona taaa New Haven offices relative to the -trSveseagatien being made by tfls rail7 road itself says that the general man ager caused instructions to be given DoheRty as late as Tuesday, last con- corning the handling of big engines 'tand warned him as to their ability to run, telling him to begin brak- ing a little sooner than he would with one of the ordinary types of engines
 Those who have testified so far be- fore General Manager Bardo. says an other statement, gave it as their opinion that the accident was caused by lack of Judgment on the part of the engineer. It was brought out that he was going at the rate of from Is to 20 miles hour just before he hit the train. The distance signal was 2,100 feet away from the home signal and could be seen 1900 feet away. The, engineer had a total of 5000 feet in which to stop 1lis engine

 FUTURE FAIR
 SAYS WINSHIP

One of Americas foremost educa- tors, Dr. A. E. winship, editor of the Journal of Education, published in Boston, Mass, was the principal speaker at the commencement exer- cises of the Fannie A. Smith F'roebe1 Kindergarten this morning when eight young ladies who have been students at the kindergarten training school for the past two years received their diplomas
 The a1umnae of the school, a dozen little children carrying bouquets of cut flowers, the members of the grad uating class, and the speakers filed slowly into the hall on Lafayette street where the graduation was held, and took their places on the platform.
 Following the singing of the alum nae song Rev. John R. Brown of the First Baptist church addressed the gathering. He introduced pr. Win ship.
 ''The time has come,' said Dr. Win ship, when no one can hope to take his place in the world in this aggres- sive age who has not prepared him self well for the work he is to do. One cannot accomplish anything in this world specializing in some par ticular line of work or industry. The world today, is just beginning to see what vision means. We've mixed up dreams ana V1Sbon5 Aor SuSn a long time that it is hard for us to de- fine the difference between the two. But there is a difference and we are gradually coming to see it."
 He asserted that there is only one nation in the world today that has visions and that country is Denmark He told of the wonderful progress that country has made within the past 70 years in the matter of kindergar- tens playgrounds, folk plays, etc., and said that every country on the globe is watching Denmark.
 The singing of the class song, pre- sentatiQn of diplomas, benediction, and a; reception followed pr. Win ships address. The members of the gradua ting class were the Misses Mary Lockwood, Lois Beers, Hazel Wilcox Ethel W1nslow, Helen Currier, Alice Lyons, Bertha Terry, and Louise Hoyt.
