 ARE AMENDED
Dangerous Muifler Cut-0ut
 Practice Prohibited
MOTOR TRUCK CLUB WINS
The Amendment Relating to Warning Signals Provides That Every Motor Vehicle Shall Be Equipped with
 an Adequate Device.

Special Hartford Correspondence
 Hartford Several amendments to the automobile law Of Connecticut have just gone Into effect, The amend ments seek to insure safety in the op- eration of motor vehicles and to elimi- nate unnecessary noise. Especial at tention is paid to brakes muHlers and warning signals. All ears of more than ten horse power must have at least two powerful brakes. The motors of all automobiles must be mutfled at all time in such manner that the noise Of the exhaust will not constitute a nuisance to the public" This means the abolition in practice Of the mut- fllef cutout The amendment relating Go warning signals provides that every motor vehicle shall be equipped with s device which shall produce an abrupt sound sufficiently loud to serve as sn adequate warning of danger While the use of a powerful signal is thus made compulsory, the law stipu- tstss that mo person shall make or cause to be made any unnecessary noise with such signal. or use the same except as a warning of danger" Before this amendment was adopted . bill was introduced making illegal the use of any warning signal except that operated by means of a rubber bulb-the familiar "honk" horn so long associated with motoring The com mittee to which this proposal was re- fsrred found. however. that the bulb horn alone was inadequate as a safety device.

Mellen Balks at ouiz.


 Following the refusal of President Charles Mellen, of the New Haven to answer several technical questions during the inquest into the Stamford wreck at Bridgeport Coroner Phelan brought out the information from other high officials of the road. That fin his opinion an automatic train stop would be of no use installed at the scene of the wreck in Stamford and that they would be of use only on short cross over switches was the statement made by C. H. Morrison, the master mechanic of the road.
 Every effort made by the coroner to ascertain the defined duties and powers of the various department heads met with little success. The duties of the various departments as a whole were explained in a general way. but close questioning as to the powers of any individual brought the reply that no one had final authority except the board of directors.
 State Charities Report.
 The report of the State Board of Charities to the Governor for the two years ended September 30, 1912. is a compact encyclopedia of all the hos pitals and other charitable institutions of the State. The work of each in- stitution for the past year Is briefly summarized. The work of the county jails and the State prison is reviewed together with the work of such allied agencies as the Connecticut Prison Association, which superyises the pro bation work throughout the State and takes care of discharged convicts.
 The expense to the State of the various charitable and reformatory in- stitutions was sl.ss1.70727 for main tenance during the year 1912 and S4S7, ,S00.30 for equipment making a total of $l l.661. .50T.<0 for 1911 These sums do not. of course. represent any where near the total cost of maintain ing all the institutions, for many of them are supported in part by the counties, cities and towns and by in- diyidual subscriptions and some of them have endowment funds.
 One of the most striking features of the report is a table showing the number of insane in the State The number has increased from 3,60S in 1908 to 4,Is0 in 1913. Of the number for the latter year 2.S2e are in the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane at Middletown, SIS in the Norwich State Hospital. and the rest in the Hartford Retreat. private asylums and among the town poor.
