.BLAMES RAILROAD
FOR FATAL WRECK

Company Is Responsible
for College Point Col
liSion.

A Coroner's jury in Jamaica placed
official blame upon the Long Island
Railroad yesterday for the accident

and nearly fifty were injured. The
jury exonerated William B. Maize,
towerman, stationed at the Flushing

for the accident was laid on the rail-
road because of Insufficient signal
equipment and an Inadequate control
of trains on the north shore division
of the railroad,

from Frank Bennett, an inspector for
the Public Service Commission; H. w.
Thornton, general uperintendent for
the road, and John Baldwin, engine

LOCAL BANKS TAKE
ALL SERIAL NOTES

-Four Bridgeport National banks, the
st-Bridgeport, the Pequonnock, Con-
necticut and the City National, have
offered to take up the $500, 600 serial
notes for the paving contracts at par
and accrued interest, and the Common
Council last night voted to accept the
offer of the banks after a communica-
ton from City Auditor Heating had
been read. The notes cover a great
deal of the paving work that has been
done and some that yet remains to be
done. Mr.. Heating in his communiea-
ton stated that the notes could not be
sold elsewhere on such favorable terms
and could not have been sold at all if
the banks had not made their bid.
The letter from City Auditor Keat-
ing follows:
ST herewith transmit to your hon
orable body, suitable preamble and
resolutions intended to cover the terms
of issue and sale of two hundred thou
sand Goo, 100000 dollars of pavement
sem bly,, at it's last session.
TT affords me pleasure to announce
to you that the four National banks
of Bridgeport have made a combined
bid for the entire issue Of such notes.
at par and accrued interest. The notes
could not be sold elsewhere, at the
present time, on such favorable terms,
and therefore could not be sold at all
if the banks had not made such bid.
And in such case the paving improve
ments planned could not have been
completed this season.
THE city owes to the public spirit
and civic pride thus manifested by
our National banks, the enhancement
of the city's financial credit and it's
maintenance, at its deservedIy high
standard, and frank acknowIedg-
ment of this fact is but simple act
of justice to the institutions named
and is just recognition of the public
spirit shown by them. All of US take
pride in the fact that our city's obltga-
lions, in this time of high investment
rates, are selling on high plane,
when similar obligations of other cities
have to be withdrawn from the mar
ket.
st recommend the acceptance. of the
report and the adoption Of the accom-
pauying resolutions, and request that
a yea and nay vote be taken thereon
As has been stated the yea and nay
vote was unanimously in favor of &C
ceptinE the offer of the banks and the
Liberty bank of New York was named
as the place where the notes will be
paid.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS
REPORTED TO LIND
BY O'SHAUGHNESSY

Vera Cruz, Oct. IA report on af-
fairs at the capital brought by Nell
son 5O'Shaughnessey, charge d'affaires
at the American embassy iN Mexico
City, was laid before John Lind, the
personal representative of President
Wilson in overnight conference. It
was said that he Brought no roseate
picture of conditions at the capital

tionaI palace that fair elections would
country accomplished. Mr.. O'Shau-
ghnessey returned directly to the capt
tai, accompanied by Mrs. O'Shaugh-
nessey, who had just returned from
Europe.
Mr.. Lind will remain in Vera, Cruz.
Unless invited by the Mexican. gov
eminent or ms e-ucted by President
Wilson he will have no direct comnnu-
nication with the Mexican admins
tration. If he has any Representa-
tons to make he probably will commu-
nicate them to the embassy. Indica-
tions are, however, that there will
be mo- further communications either
direct or indirect.
Mr.. Lind will continue in the role
of an observer until the results of the
election are known and possibly I'M
til the effect is realized. Recent in
formation brought to him had not ap-
parently convinced him that the mill
itary situation is greatly improved but
this phase of the situation has been
left largely to Captain Burnside, the
military attache of the embassy, to re-
port directly to the war departm emit
and Mr.. Lind is more deeply interest
ed in the political phases.
Mining men who arrived here, to-
day, from the state Of Durango assert
that the federal troops there have been
acting with far more inhumanity than
the rebels. They say that in pur-
suance of their instructions, the fed
eral soldiers kill all wounded rebels
and that one man was dragged from
a hospital Immediately after one of
his legs had been amputated and had
been placed before a, firing squad and
executed
In the coast country to the south
of Vera Cruz, the federal soldiers have
been ordered not to take any prfs-
oners and it is reported that this or
der is to be extended, today, to the
state of Vera Cruz.
Rebel activity is reported to have
greatly increased in the vicinity of
Tezeut1an, in the state of Puebla,
where an American mining concern has
it's headquarters. A force of rebels
who lately attacked the town and
were repu1sed are said to have re-,
ceived fresh supplies of ammunition.
From other portions of the same state
minor uprisings are reported.

New Federal Law
Protects W00dcOCk
Until October 10

Although the law goes off on most
game in Connecticut tomorrow, hunt
ers should remember that they cannot
shoot woodcock until October 10. Sen
ator MeLean's bill for the protection
of migratory fowls andsbirds expressly
prohibits the killing OF woodcock be-
fore October 10. The bill was signed
a few days ago by President Wilson
and the hunter who violates the law in
this respect will not find himself fac
ing country Justice but instead will
find himself held for arraignment in a
Federal court.
Under his new Federal law wild
ducks cannot be shot before sunrise or
after sunset. A full account of the
game laws and the penalties for viola
lions with a, number of timely tips for
hunters will be found in another col

Charities Officials
Want To Take Hand
In Garbage Situation
Commissioners Also Favor APP
preparation For DIR. Pratt'S
Widow and Salary In
crease for Doctor
DeWOIfe

The Depart ment of Charities has Of
hcially entered into the garbage-dis-
posal question and intends to have
something to say regarding the pro-
posed burial of the refuse at Lake
view. At yesterday afternoons ses-
sion of the commissioners, the first
with a complete board present since
Rev. John MacLaren Richardson's trip
to Europe, President F. William Ben
rens and Commissioner Henry Harris
were appointed a committee to confer
with Mayor Wilson and the Depart
ment of Health. They are to confer
concerning the burial of garbage,
scheduled to begin Friday.
The subject was brought up by Su-
perintendent Merle C. Cowles of Lake
view, who reported that Mayor Will
son and some Of the Department of
Health members had visited Lakeview
and informed him that the burial was
scheduled to take place in the same
manner as had been followed several
years ago. His contention was that
the mayor and health officials were
beyond their jurisdiction in arranging
for this to be done without the con-
sent of the Department of Charities.
Unofhcia1ly it was reported that there
had been complaints that the garbage
buried there formerly still gives off an
unpleasant odor.
Commissioner Matthew Judge made
a report of the investigation made into
the death of DR.. Charles Reed PIatt,
formerly emergency hospital surgeon,
to the effect that he died of a disease
of the heart originating in a germ
The hospital records show that he had
treated 80 similar cases between Sep
TENDER %, 1912, and January 81, 1913.
This seemed to indicate conclusively
that he had contracted the disease in
the service as The records of, his pri-
vate practice showed no like cases.
The recomm endation was made that
at least 81, 900 be donat ted to his widow,
the Recommendation being passed.
Commissioner Richardson made mo-
ton that the matter be placed before
the Common Council and it was so
voted.
It was voted that the request made
by DR.. D. G. Devote to have his APP
preparation increased to 81, ooO a year
to recompense him for bandages and
other supplies be granted, the extra
appropriation to date from June 9.
Other questions coming up were of
a routine nature The reports of Su-
perintendents Johnson and Cowles
were accepted There was approval
of SO, 911.2O to pay bills and $3.50 was
appropriated to meet the expenses of
the outside poor during November.
There was discussion concerning
the selea6ion of a publicity committee
to bring the matter of a bond issue for
a new almshouse before the people and
make an attempt-to have it voted on
election day. Tt was decided that all
of the commissioners get busy and
have a special session at O'Clock the
afternoon of October 16 to discuss the
question.
