LONG DISTANCE RUNNER
CHANGES TRAINING PLACE

Jessie Steiz, the Virginia mara
hon runner, who has been train
ing at Cook, Minn., has changed
his headquarters to a farm near
Kinney. SteitZ has with him as
trainer, Conrad Maroste, who has
trained many of the boys for the
Olympic games in Finland. The
change in the training quarters was
made to give Steitz the use OF a
Finnish bath house on the Kinney
farm, the bath being a necessity
in the European style of training.
Steitz training is such similar to
that of Hannes Kolehnainen. Steitz
is eager to meet Kolehnainen if he
should come into the west. He is
also willing to meet any other man
in match race for the distance OF
10, IS or 26 miles.

ONE CONCEPTION OF WHAT A
MODEL NEWSPAPER SHOULD BE

Says an exchanges: 1t is not
t:n province of the local newspaper
to ride rough shod over the feel
nys of its patrons and readers or
to dig up the hatchet of vindictire-
ness upon the slightest provocation
and go forth seeking to scalp every
body in sight. 1t should look we'll
after the good Of the community,
encourage every movement that
tends to the benefit of the major
ity and discourage all that would
work harm and discord. The local
newspaper should be the people S
friend, public educator and an
arbiter of public sentiment.

PARIS, April 23.-The musical
automobile horns which threatened
TO fill the main streets of Paris
with snatches of popular or clas>i-

in France.
a test case was brought against
two motorists of Douai, who cnliv-
ened the night trumpeting the
leitmotiv Of die Walkure,' and it
has been decided that these in
struments are illegal here. The
decision brought out a judicia

MADE ABLE SHOWING
 FOR TRANSFER BILL
Was Presented Before Committee by Representative John F. Craney of Norwich

When the Craney transfer bill was before the committee on railroads. Representative John F. Craney, of Norwich, supported the bill in very able and creditable way and was com plimented by General Manager Pun derford on his presentation, though all the terms of the bill were not ex- actly acceptable to the Connecticut company. While the bill is general in it's provisions, it's application is of much local interest. MT. Craney ex- plained the inconsistency of existing circumstances in Norwich. where transfer is given to connecting lines in Norwich from the car coming from Willimantic to New London, but on the same car on the return trip like transfer privileges are denied through passengers. but are given to those who board the car within the city line. The bill also provides for transfer from the cars from Central Village to other lines in the city The text of the Cra- ney bill is as follows:
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened.
 Section 1. Tn any city, town or bor ough where at one point different lines of street ears operated by the same person. persons or corporation come together, each passenger upon any one of such lines whose fare shall be paid
 
 to transfer which shall enable such passenger to ride upon any other of the said connecting lines running from said meeting point and whenever the fare for such passenger shall have been paid on any line from any point outside of said town, city or borough to said meeting point, such passen- ger shall be entitled to a transfer en- abling such passenger to ride upon any of said different lines, or if the car on which fare is paid to said meet ing point continues beyond said point, then to ride on said car beyond said meeting point the same as if pas sage had commenced inside of said town, city or borough.
 Section g. Any refusal by the con- ductor of any car. to give such trans fer upon request of any passenger whose fare has been paid on said car to said meeting point, shall be a mis- demeanor and shall be punished by 8 fine of not more than one hundred nor less than twenty-five dollars or imprisonment for not more than ten days. or both such fine and imprison- ment, and said misdemeanor shall be deemed to have been committed by the person. persons or corporation operating the car lines mentioned in this act or the person or persons hay ing the control or regulation of the rates of fare payable by passenger on said street car lines

FUN ERAL.
Mrs. Elizabeth r, Williams.


 The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Ti1- den Williams was held from her home on Mediterranean lane Thursday aft ernoon at 2 o'clock. The attendance was large. The service was conduct who said, When we gathered here a few days ago to pay our last respects to the memory of our departed friend and fellow citizen, MT. Williams we little thought we should so quickly be summoned again beneath this roof. Providence has brought her speedily to her loved one, 8 swift reunion. For us all Is the strong sense of bereave- ment, loneliness that we can no more look into her kindly face or hear the voice of the one whom we held in the highest esteem and Christian affection. The note of her life has been fidelity. None has been more loyal and inter- ested in the church than she who has now joined her loved ones beyond the reigns with Christ forevermore.
 Among the choice flowers were large sprays of roses and carnations wreaths, a crescent, , and beautiful pieces from the Bible class of the Sum- day school and from the Home Mis- sionary society. Burial was in the family lot in Yantic cemetery where a cornmittal service was read at the grave by Rev. MT. Ewing The bear CTS were F. L. Allen, Burril1 Lathrop, Lucius A. Fenton and Frank E.
