Cor oner Eli Mix began, in the superior court room, today, a secret inquest in- to the wreck of the Bar Harbor eX- press on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad last Tuesday morn Ang, with a number of employees of the road and passengers as witnesses.
 Although the coroner had announc- ed before the hearing began that none of the witnesses. including Engineer 5Iiller, of the White Mountain express, fT1ich conided with the Bar Harbor arsfn would be allowed the benefit of counsel, the statement was made by E. c. Buckland, vice-president Of hhe New Haven road and formerly one of it's attorneys, that he had been giv er permission to attend the inquest This was denied by the coroner.
 Mir Buckland was present in the courthouse before the inquest began, for the purpose, he said, of assisting ahe coroner in procuring the attend lance of the railroad employees.
 'T have been given permission by hhe coroner to attend the inquest he said. 'I do not see anything innprop- er about it My sole purpose in ap- bearing here is to be of assistance to Ane coroner in bringing witnesses here as they are wanted I may not at Aend, however"

Penalty Much More Lenient Than That Melted Out By Reform Judge In Greenwich Borough Cour-- "Most Unheard of Sf- uation" Observes Judge As He Hears of UnmOIested Gambling In Greenwich Covering Many Years

Jail sentences imposed by Judge Tierney of the Greenwich court upon Ambrose BoIles for keeping a gambling house, upon George BoIIes for threat ening a policeman in connection with the raid on his brothers place, and on William H. Thompson for keeping a slot machine in his saloon in Glen vile, a suburb of Greenwich, were re- mitted in the criminal court of com mon pleas here yesterday, and the men escaped with fines.
 The three cases were watched with interest by the Greenwich folks for the raid on the City Cafe, the Bol1es' saloon and gambling place, was in de- fance of all precedent. The Bol1es' gambling parlors had thrived for years while the notorious ring dom mated Greenwich politics. When the new order of things came to pass, thanks to the selection of Judge Tier ney to preside over the dispensing of justice in the borough court, the death knell was sounded of the ring and it's machinations.
 Judge John J. Walsh, the new judge of the common pleas court, disposed of the cases as follows:
 Ambrose Bo11es, S2O0 fine.
 George Bo1les, $100 fine.
 w. HI. Thompson $100 and costs.
 In the borough court Judge Tierney had imposed on Ambrose Bo1les a pen atty of $450 and 60 days in jail; on George BoIles, $1O1 and costs and 50 days, and on Thompson, $2OO and costs and 30 days in jail. The same inf1u- ences that allowed the BoIles brothers to flourish were held responsible in the minds of the Greenwich refo9mers, for the conditions that allowed Thomp- son to run his slot machine unmolest-

PourS Gasoline On Fire; Woman
 Fatally Burned

While lighting a fire with gasoline preparatory to cooking dinner for her family and nine boarders, Mrs. Jennie Marko, aged 26, was so badly burned she will probably die. The kindlings which the woman was using did not burn readily and she poured gasoline on the stove to hasten the ignition. An explosion which followed blew the blazing oil all over the won1an's dress.
 She made vain attempt to extin- guish the flames by rubbing her arms against the kitchen table and instead set fire to the table cloth. Shrieking with agony she rolled about the floor and then rose and rushed from the room. The woman lived on the third story of the building and screaming g at the top of her lungs she ran down the stairs into the street. There she fell fainting.
 The woman was burned so badly the flesh fell from her arms. Neighbors rushed to aid her after she reached the street and two men wrapped her in blankets extinguishing the flames They then carried her into the back alarm box at Hallett and Stillman streets and another person sent a call for the ambulance.
 Surgeon Finnegan who responded, Bridgeport hospital. There it is said that there is little chance for her re- covery as besides her arms being burned to the very bone her entire body has been incinerated.
 At fire headquarters it wFA report ed that the fire loss will be nothing, as the flames had been quickly ex- tInguished by the men who rushed to her assistance when her cries resound- ed through the crowded neighborhood.
 A little baby who was in the apart n,ent at the time miraculous1y escaped frf,1 he roF he Ia m 0eS w enV e1oped the entire room at the time Of the ignition.

 The trial of the Bolles brothers pre- sented a. unique spectacle. The for mer judge of the Criminal Court of Common Pleas, James F. Walsh, who was one of the dominating spirits of Greenwich politics until the last Iegfs- lature wrote what promises to be the last chapter of the history of the Walsh domination of Greenwich poii- tics, was prominent in the defence Of the BolIes brothers. and of Thompson Judge Fillmore s. Banks, who was prosecutor under the judgeshfp of Judge James F. Walsh, was also of counsel for the defence, while Hon Edward Kenea1y, of Stamford, was a1- so retained in their interests.
 Frederick W. Huxford, who sue ceeded Judge Banks as prosecuting at torney of the Common Pleas court was assisted in the prosecution of the case by Ralph E. Brush, prosecuting Greenwich. Prosecutor Brush had re- ceived instructions from Judge Tier ney, after the BoIles brothers had been sentenced, to personally follow the eases through the appeals court.
 There was a great lot of hauling and dragging before the cases finally came openly before the court Whfs- pered conferences between counsel for the state and defence had taken place at intervals all afternoon, and finally the court took a long recess and re- tired to chambers where Prosecutor Huxford had an opportunity to dis cuss the cases at length with the judge.
 Even then, when it had been agreed

CORONER PLANS ID
 STOP FATAL HABIT
 OF CROSSING STREETS

Chicago, Sept. 4-From 300 to 500 lives will be saved each year if Chi cagoans will develop the habit of crossing streets only at intersections. This assertion, based on the accident records of his office, was made, today, by Coroner Peter M. Hoffman, who is preparing an ordinance making a mis- demeanor for any pedestrian to cross a thOroughfare except at a corner.
 The coroner, who is aroused by the 1o7 deaths here, last year caused by automobiles, is planning an educa- tional campaign with the object of re- ducing this toll of life. While not minimizing the negligence of some au- tomobiIe drivers, the coroner asserts that a large proportion of the ia accidents are due to foolhardiness of pedestrians.
