Mr.. Smith had the habit of
lighting his cigar after dinner,
putting it for while and then
laying it down on the ash tray.
Later he would relight it and
finish his smoke. Often three or
four unfinished cigars would be
on the tray.
One day his small son, sitting
nearby, watched his father light
one of the short variety and said:
How do you like that one,
papa?"
This, my son, Is a very good
cigar" replied the father, blow
ing long puffs into the air.

I found it in the gutter outside. "

OWN WITNESS PUTS

NEW HAVEN OFFICIALS HEAR
TESTIMONY THAT WRECK
DUE TO CARELESSNESS.

BRIDGEPORT. June 1S.-Officials
of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad heard one of their
expert witnesses testify at the joint
session of the interstate commerce
and the public utilities
commission. today, that Charles J.
Doherty should never have been per-
mitted to run engine 1898. which
crashed into the train ahead OF 1t
in the Stamford yards. last Thurs
day and killed six passengers.
Then right on top of that these Off
cials heard their own witness de-
clare. that in his opinion no railroad
could justify itself for
trusting an engine to a .. man OF
Doherty's experience.
Something Radically Wrong.
If the hearings before Coroner Phe-
Ian and the tests and Investigations
under the supervision of the inter-
state commerce commission, and the
public utilities commission, have de-
veloped anything, it is the impression
that something Is radically wrong
with the system of assigning engineers
that has been forced on the New
the railroad officials, and General
Manager Bardo declared after the
hearing that he would exert him
self to the utmost TO have the present
system changed.
Mr.. Bardo took a hand in the ques-
tioning OF a witness today. After Pa
trick j. Langan, brake inspector for
the I.ackawanna railroad. had sub
mitted statistics OF the test runs made
yesterday. and today, Mr.. Bardo
asked:
What Is your opinion of the kind
of air brake used on the type of en-
CINE driven by Doherty?"
1T is the best locomotive air brake
to be had"
Several railroad employees were ex-
amined as to train sheets. time clocks
and speed of Doherty's train. Doh
erty was called upon again to relate
the story that broke him down when
he was testifying last Friday before
Coroner Phelan. His story did not
vary from that which he has al
ready told.
Engineer John Harmon. who was
suspended for running by signal
on Monday. with engine 1898, testi-
ned that the brakes were all right.
He said he -Fa-H-b by Aeeaase-the-l sig

Letters also outlined the general
scheme OF publicity adopted by the
sugar protectionists. They are bent
upon making the sugar tariff popular

They were playing no favorites. and
every state in the Union was to be
plastered with literature, and wher-
ever possible the press urged to print
interesting stories Of the value of
the beet sugar industry in the gem
eral scheme OF national welfare.
A letter written by Mr.. Hamlin to
Sidney Bal)ou. head Of the Hawaiian
group OF sugar protectionists. gave
succinctly and with frankness the plan
Of the sugar lobby. It was written
on May 2. 1912.
The activities OF the sugar lobby
while Cuban reciprocity was pending
was discussed in many Of the letters.
The beet sugar men were opposed to
any favors being extended to Cuba.
They wanted the whole thing them
selves.
After losing its contention AZ to
Cuba and not getting all that it
wanted in some other things. the
sugar group quieted down. They did
not want too much publicity.

over the probable recommendations
