SHORE LINE TROLLEY
 WINS THIS DECISION
Its Fast Schedule More Important
 That Where Cars Stop.

The public utilities commission in 2 decision Wednesday denies the petition of Charles Griswold and other resi- dents of Guilford for a removal of the high school station in that town of the Shore Line electric railway tC a point in Fair street at the intersec- ton of York street, also for a sta tion at York street. The commission says that the present fast and satis- factory schedule maintained by the company Is of more importance to the travelling public than the location of stations which may not be of general public benefit.
 The commission orders the reloca- ton of the high school station to a point as far east in York street as possible before the line takes the curve to Fair street. It also suggests the abandonment of one of the stations east of Guiford Green if the company thinks it of benefit to the service.

He supposed that the Harold was coming to a stop on her side of the bridge.
 In the meantime, the operator states, thesfast express was approach ing, and that he stepped out on the bridge to see that everything was clear before giving the signal to En- gineer O'Brien to close the draw.

no one would notice NJ. Mollard was

"I would" the President is quoted

of stepping back a pace, President Fal.

REPRODUCTION OF CHRIST
IN ART QUITE EXPENSIVE

UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRB.l
ROME, Dec. 20.-John Lennox, Of
Oak Park, ILL.,, today gave public ex-
hibitiOn of his art collection of photo
graphic reproductions of Christ in art,
The American explained today that he
is spending the winter in Italy in the
hopes of completing his collection
which, as shown today includes more
than 1900 photographs which it has
taken him twenty-five years to ac-
quire from all parts Of the world.
The collection begins with photo
graphs of the first rudely portrayed
faces of Christ as they were found cut
in the walls of the catacombs, and con.
tinue down through the development of
sacred art until the present time. Con.
fident that he has secured photographs
of all pictures of Christ by the ancient
and renaissance artists, Lennox is now
devoting his time exclusively to the
modern paintings. At present he is
photographing the face as it appears
in some recent frescoes at Florence
His work is also being greatly aided
by the modern artists themselves who
send him the photographs of their
work Some of the latest thus to be
received by him came from Gebhardt,
the famous German artist.
