NEW SIGNAL SYSTEM ON THE NEW HAVEN
Automatic ArrangementBe Between Stamford And South NOrwaIk
 To Be Extended

The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company is to ex- tend the new automatic signal system recently installed between Stamford and South NorwaIk' from the latter city tc New Haven. The first section of this new system was put into opera ton on July 20th, and the extension of the work will be carried out in two sections, one from South NorwaIk to Bridgeport and the other from Bridge port to New Haven. The work is ex- pected to be completed by January 1, 1914.
 The signal system from New Haven to Springfield is also to be replaced, and work on this will start within a week. The old style banjo signals are to. be discarded and signals, of the semaphore type substituted. After hating current will be used to operate and light these signals The sema- phore will be operated in three posi- tions in the upper left hand quadrant.
 The automatic signals now in use between Stamford and. South Norwalk and which will be installed between the latter city and New Haven are the most complete and up-to-date that the science of signalling can devise. The interlocking towers through this terri tory are equipped with approach an nunciators,, approach locking, route locking, and :, detector- locking safe
 
 from the eatenary bridges in plain view of approaching trains just to the right of the track they govern.
 The entire system is operated by the use of alternating. current, thus avoid ing the interference with the signal system by foreign direct current ac- cuInulating in the. tracks from trolley liness. that are incl 1oses proximity. The power for operatIng, this system is fur nished from Independent signafs gem erattng units in duplicate located in the Cos Cob pow CT house, and is sup piled to the signal system over dupli- cate power wires supported by the icatenaryi bridges, two being located on the south side of the track and two on the 5north@ side, making it practi- .calIy* impossible, when the job is com >pIeted, for the entire system to be without power
 Signals are lighted by, electric lights, thus avoiding the failure of oil lamp and obscure lights caused by the lenses in the lamp becoming smoked up.
 This system replaces what is known as the old lock and block or manual controlled system. The home signals at interlocking towers are operated electrically and are known as semi automatic that is. they are controlled electrically from the interlocking tow CT, but the train puts them automati- calIyz to the stop position regardless of the action of the 1everrnan. This en- sures the signal being in a, stop posi- ton behind each train thus giving it proper protection while passing over the line.

Here every kind of car. from the humble caboose to the modern all steel day coach or multiple unit mo- tor, is, stripped, renovated and repair ed As fast as car on any of the di- visions is inspected and found in need of repairs it is sent to make the same kind of a journey as does the Iocomo- tive at the end of which it is practi- cally a new car.
 The Readvi1e plant also includes a general store house from which sup plies are sent upon requisition all over the system. From this store house ev- cry locomotive and car receives it's proper equipment before it resumes it's place in the service again. In addition to this, much of the roads special track work is done at Readville
 Readville is at the junction of three division points, which accounts for the location of the shops there. With the several railroads which went to make up the New Haven it inherited as many different shops and the work now done at Rockville was once dis trtbuted among such places as New Haven, Roxbury, Boston, South Brain tree, Norwood and East Hartford The concentration of all the general repair work at Rockville has resulted in the saving of time and money and in bet ter work being done.

BOGUS PRIEST AT WORK.

Notice has been sent out over the country, by the Pinkerton National Detective Agency of a bogus check swindIer, who has succeeded in cash ing worthless checks in various parts of the country by inpersonating Ro-
 man Catholic priest. The man has used the following names: Rev. P. HI McMahon, Rev Joseph Arthur. Rev. J. F. Walsh, Rev. M. J. Ryan. Rev. Edward McVeigh, Rev. Andrew McDermott. He is evidently south erner and claims New Orleans or Sa- vannah as his home. Pretending to be a priest who is arranging to place some girls in a Catholic school, or oth- CT institutions, he usually succeeds in cashing checks on a New York bank for sums varying between $60 and $80. He dresses in clerical garments and is well versed in religious subjects. He is said to be a heavy dr1nker. He is 40 to 45 years old, five feet, nine in cnes tall, and weighs about 165 pounds. He is not yet reported to have worked tn this city.

Committee Wants
 City To Condemn Land For Bath House

Since they cannot come to an un- derstanding with the owners of the property near the foot of seaview ave- nue which the city has decided to take for a public bath house, the Mis- cellaneous Committee of the Common Council will employ two real estate experts to place a valuation on the land Condemnation proceedings will then be brought.
 The owners of the property ask $26,- GOO for it. Alderman Isaac Adoorey, of the Miscellaneous Committee, de- clares the present owners purchas- ed the property for $14,5o0 when they learned the city desired it as a site. At the meeting of the committee last night, he characterized tine attitude of the owners as an attempt to 'fhold up the city.''
 The property was taken under fore closure proceedings brought by the Farmers & Mechanics Savings bank some months ago. The bank then sold the property to Leopold Weiss. B. c. Adams and C. D. Schwarz, the present owners
