INTERNATIONAL
GOLF TOURNEY
British and Canadian Women
to Meet United States
Team Here

As a preliminary to the womens
golf championship of the United
States there will be an international
match here over the Wilmington
Country Club links between repre-
sentatives of the United States and
Great Britain. There will be seven
players on each side. The United
States team, as selected by the United
States Golf Association, is as follows:
Miss NJ Curtis. Miss II. Curtis, Miss
Rollins. Miss Hyde. Mrs. R. H. Bar
low, Miss G. Bishop and Mrs. Wheeler.
II will be noticed that Mrs. Barlow
is the only representative from Phil
adelphia. Probably the team would
have been strengthened by the in
clusion Of Mrs. Clarence II. Wander
beck. who has been playing very fine
golf recently. and who won the Mary
Thayer Farnum Memorial Cup at the
Philadelphia Cricket Club last Tues
day
The British and Canadian team has
not been selected so far, but that il
will be a strong one goes without say
ing. A large proportion of those who
will compete in the championship
neIt week have been practicing over
the course during the last two or
three days, and the competition is
sure to be the biggest and most i'm
portant of its kind ever held in this
country.

SAILOR KILLED
 BY FALL FROM
 WOODMONT TRAIN

After falling off a, train on the way from New Haven to Bridgeport, Gus Koch, a Brooklyn sailor, was struck by a train on another track and fatal ly injured near Woodmont, about 10 o'clock last night. Koch was with a party of four other men, who noticed his absence when they reached Bridge port and notified the conductor of their train. A railroad man was sent back along the track from Bridgeport and Koch was found on the tra cks about 12:30 o'clock this morning, where he had lain since the accident.
 The railroad man who discovered Koch could detect no signs of life and notified Medical Examiner V. A. K O. walewksi of West Haven and Hayes & Pierce, the undertakers. When Dr. Kowa1ewski arrived he saw that the man was still living. When Hayes & Pierce's automobile wagon arrived, Koch was piled into it and rushed off to the New Haven hospital with all possible speed. One of Koch's arms was crushed and his head was badly injured.
 Koch remained in an unconscious condition and could not tell how he happened to fall off the train. He and the other members of the party are said by railroad men to have been intoxicated.
 He died at the New Haven hospital about 1:3O o'clock this morning.

DEAN ROGERS TO TAKE UP COURT
 DUTIES OCT. 1

Dean Henry. Wade Rogers of /the Yale Law school returned late We'd nesday night from his summer home in Trenton, and when asked yester- day afternoon if he would accept the appointment offered him as judge of the United. States circuit court, said he did not feel like making his posi- ton known at this time at least until his name had been ratified by the senate, to which body it was sent last night. There is no doubt, however, that the dean will retire as head of the law school as soon as his appoint ment is fully ratified. He expects to take the bench October 1, if confirmed and there is no doubt that having ac- scepted the honor conferred upon him by the administratto he will resign his position before the college opening, September 25.
 Rogers remaining in the law school the circuit judgeships have, notably Judge William K Townsend. Dean Rogers said he would be glad to help the school out in any manner he could for the present.
 Dean Rogers commented most fa- vorably upon Professor Taft's oualif- cations to succeed him as head of the law school, but he feared that the ex- president could not be persuaded to take the place, at least he had so ex- pressed himself to the dean MT, Taft said last night that he had no aynbi- tion to succeed Dean Rogers. in fact he did not believe himself qualified to take the position.

.THE FLYING FISHERMAN
a Famous Train and What It
 : Does For New York and y New England.
cNeu Haven Press Bureau.)

The Flying Fisherman is the name to a freight train which runs from Boston to New York on the New York, New Haven and Hartford covering 234 miles in eight hours and i've minutes including the time taken in making four stops This is believed to be the fastest freight train in this country.
 The average speed of the train by 1vISch Boston supplies New York daily with fish Is 30 miles an hour, but there are portions of the route between the two cities over which it travels much faster than this, sometimes doing mile in sfxty-nine seconds
 Next to fruit, fish is the most per sstasbIe kind of freight the railroads have to handle. While this train does not carry fish exclusively it's schedule 1rs been arranged mainly with a view af handling this business and hence 1t hSs got the name of '"The Flying Fish srrnar % though on railroad time ta- bies 1t merely stands as ''B. H. r.
 Al large part of the fish which New York consumes must of necessity come from T wharf in Boston Likewise from Boston must be sent many of the Holsters which give their name to the lobster beIt'' In consequence this particular freight train out of the many passing over the New Haven s system has a most important and pe- cuIiar relation to the welfare and hap piness of many people in New York and is the means of much business 10 many people scattered throughout New England
 From three to fifteen of the twenty ears or more composing this train are filled with fish consigned to Fulton Market in New York, the number de- pending upon what day of the week 1t iss If it is Wednesday the number IS more likely to be fifteen cars, that be- ing the heaviest fish day of each week fer the Shippers. Every day from 50 to 300 tons of fish leave the South Bos- t6s1 terminal on this train bound to New York fish dealers, and a great deal of it has to be put aboard in the last five or ten minutes.
 Fish being one of the most perish abIe of commodities, expedition in the handling of orders is a prerequisite of tfSA business Nobody ever loads up with fish as they do with potatoes, and it isn't until well on in the afternoon that the New York fish dealers can de- cEae just how much fish New York is r.t5zne to eat the next day. Then come the orders to the big wharf in Boston. They come by telegraph and telephone. FF@quentIy it is four o'clock when seA1e of these orders are received and they are for fish that must in some cases be on breakfast tables the next laorning in some New York hotels.
 The fish dealers at the T wharf in -Ssoston get these orders and rush them to the train The whole idea of the railroad men in arranging the schedule and running time of this train has been tS give the fish dealers the most time uossfble- Did it have the usual run ming time of a freight train it would have to leave hours before it does, and this business of supplying New York with fish would be sadly disarranged end a- znOd part of 1t lost no doubt.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-09-19

The last case of fish is often put aboard this train when it is moving. It leaves Boston every day at 5:55 D. n; stops at ReadviIIe, Providence and Midway, and pulls into the; Harlem River yards in New York at 1850 a. n- Waiting for it every morning is the Fulton Market boat, with it's own crew of etevedores to store the fish on board. This is but the work of an hour and then the boat speeds down the East River and ties up at Fulton Market about a. m. Wagons are waiting for it here and the fish that was put aboard the train in the after noon is ready to be cooked by break fast time-
 On the South Boston waterfront there is now being built a. new fish wharf of brick and concrete, which will be over 1900 feet long. It will take the place of the old T wharf. When it is completed the business of transporting fish to New York and other points will be handled even more expeditiously than at present, for the New Haven's yards adjoin the new wharf and cars can be run practically alongside the fishing boats.N At present the larger proportion of the fish is in less than car loads, but when the wharf is opened it is expected that more fish will move by the car load, for the req son that the cars can be loaded at the wharf and an hours time be saved to the dealers. With more fish hanled by the car load the time for loading the less than car load shipments at the freight house can be cut down prob ably ten minutes, and this saving time means a great deal in the fish business in Boston.
 Frequently the Flying F'isherman II will carry two middle carloads of lob sters, gathered from New England points and from Canada. These lob sters come over the Boston and Maine by express and are then transferred to the Flying Fisherman reaching New York and other points the second morning after being caught
 When one considers that the time of most passenger trains between New York and Boston is six hours 1t will be seen that the Flying Fisherman is the train de luxe of the freight ser vice of New England. The opera ton of such a. train has meant for New England a large and profitable business, increasing every year, while for the multitude that daily must be fed it has meant fresh fish, which in this day of high meat prices is be- coming more and more an article of our diet.

Davis and a guard was sent immediately to search for the missing soldier. Or ders were issued also to round up every soldier on the island to ascer- tain who was missing without leave of absence and to watch for a soldier with damp clothing or muddy shoes.
 Of the several hundred soldiers ex- amined every one passed muster, but the investigat is still in progress. It was reported that two soldiers un- der suspicion are confined in the guard house.
 Mrs Sears when found by Baker was unconscious and physicians say that owing to her advanced age she may not recover.
