O'Dwyer Boys Death Subject of Inquiry
 To-day by Coroner

This afternoon at 2:30. Coroner John J. PheIan resumed his investi- gation at the Fairfield Town Hall. on the death of John O'Dwyer, the youth who was struck recently by an auto while standing near his home. The machine, owned by James Meade of Stoughton, Mass, was driven by his chauffeur from New York en route to his Aome in Stoughton. There were three people in the car at the time of accident, MT. and Mrs. Meade and the chauffeur. It is claimed that the auto was driven so close to the extreme right hand edge of the street that, in swerving, it struck the O'Dwyer boy, who is said to have been standing on his own lawn.
 The automobile party claims, how ever, that a team was passing at this time which completely hid the boy from their sight, that he stepped sud denly in front of their machine and that they could not stop in time to prevent injury.
 Mrs. Meade was examined this afternoon and possibly some witnesses of the accident who were expected to come up from New York for the in- quest.

NEEDLE WORKERS WORKING OVERTIME No Danger of Connecticut
 Losing Thriving
 Industry
Eorrington Mans Letter Refuting Senator Mclean
 Read In Senate
Ry Our Staff Correspondent)

Washington, Sept. 6-During the de- bate on the tariff during the week Chairman Simmons took the oppor- 5Ifnity to read into the record a saort setter from Torrington which has a tendency to expose the attitude of the Senators from Connecticut who Rep eesentative Donovan claims should be 6upportins the bill in view of the fact khat New England is to fare better hnder the provisions of the bill than any other section of the country.
 Chairman simmons said: MT. Pres ldent. this affords me the opportunity to read a letter from Torrington, Ct, written August 12. I think it was a aav or two after we had under con- Alteration and discussed in the Senate khis paragraph (the Metal and Manu- kactures schedule)- During the course pf his speech in favor of high rates upon the industries of Torrington, and chiefly, I believe, the manufacture of needles. the Senator from Connecticut HAIr. McLean) had something to say about the probabil of some of those Industries moving to Germany, think pr to Canada, possibly; do not re- member which. The letter I have is from Mir Thomas A. Carroll. or course do not know him. It is d. rected to me as chairman of the com xnfttee on finance, dated August 12, ISIS I will read only an extract from it. He says: Dear Sir:-As 8 con stant reader of the Congressional Rec ord I found much that displeased me with the impression George P. Nc Lean of this state sought to give your body when the tariff on needles was being discussed. He referred to the Epeech delivered by Congressman Un- derwood at Waterbury and drew vivid picture, as understand It from the Record, of many needle workers from Torrington being in the au- dience, drinking in the tariff wisdom of Congressman Underwood, taking it Tor political gospel, being converted to the Wilson cause, and then going back home and voting the ticket on election day that put President Wood row Wilson, Democrat, in office.
 ~Unfortunately-and l sincerely hope thaA it is for the last term-both United States Senators from Connec- 1fcut are Republicans They are about the only calamity howlers from the Nutmeg state that I know of at the present time. Business at the Excel sior Needle Co.'S plant here, of which Senator Mclean appears to be so so- iicftous was never better, and the fol- ay of the statements on his part that the business will have to be removed to Germany if the tariff is lowered Is evidenced by the fact that at the present time a large addition fs being built to this needle factory Similar conditions obtain at the plants of the Standard and Progressive companies, both of which like the Excelsior Nee ale Co.'S factory are affiliated with the Torrington company.
