 Fight Dentists

Dr-" A. B. Jones whose assistant s dental license has been revoked by the state dental commissioners has re- tafned Attorney Jacob B. Klein of this city to look after his interests MT. Jones today received notice from Dr. Edward Eberle of Hartford recorder of the State Dental commissioners noti- flying him of the revocation of his li- cense If Jones is to contest the re- vocation it will be necessary for him to serve notice within twelve days with the recorder and the case will then go to the courts for settlement
 The dental commissioners made their decision to revoke the license after con- sultation with Attorney General John H. Light. The case is attracting con siderable interest in this city through out the State as there are many den lists who are working under the same condition as Jones.
 Dentists assert that Jones is liable to prosecution should he continue to practice, and they have taken steps to have County Health Officer George E. Hill look into the case.

provided they are competent.s
 Primarily the determina4ion of C). the requirements of the service and CD, Competency of engineers is for the management of the railroad. Tho most important requirement of the service is the safety requirement.
 'In this case it is shown that no reliable or effective system was in operation for the determination of the safety requirements of the service in the selection of an engineman for O particular service or for the determin- ration of the competency of an engine man when he was first given a high speed passenger train.
 The neglect or precautions for safety was here a neglect upon points which the enginemen's agreement left open to the management.
 'TThe mere absence of demerit marks while in freight service was considered a good record, sufficiently determined, to justify employment on fast passen- ger trains, a class of service requir- ing the highest degree of qualification No determination of special qual1ftca- tion for higher grade of service was made. The agreement with the en- ginemen in no manner restricts exam ination or competency tests on the part of the management. The absence. of all competency tests of this en- gineman is a matter for which the management is solely responsible His good judgment in bringing an express. passenger train to a stop ought not to have been tried out at the risk of passengers lives.
 When, in handling a first class pas senger train this engineman of his first trip went by a station and reported that it was due to the brakes being no good, it is strange that no one in authority then saw any necessity for a test, either of the nan or the brakes before he was again sent out i'm the same line of service. The general man ager, however, reached the concluai0n

HITCHCOCK BACK OF PROSECUTION OF SUNDAY LABORERS Owns Land Where Truck Gard ening Was in Progress on
 the Sabbath Taunts of Neighbors That He, Not the Lessee, Had Work
 Done, Led to Arrests
Special to The Far1ner)


 Fairfield, July 10-Fined from one to five dollars for working on the Sab bath, eight Italian speaking residents of the PlattsvilIe district, along the Easton Turnpike, consider now that that this broad land is not as free as they were led to suppose it would be. On complaint of Justice of the Peace Robert c. Hitchcock, the eight men were arrested last Sunday by Sheriff Elwood When apprehended the men were all engaged in laying out cabbage plants. All worked for John Dellio who leased the land from Hitchcock.
 It is said that the sight of the men tilling and narrowing the soil did not really offend Hitchcock but rather the taunts of neighbors who jokingly said in Hitchcock's presence that as the land was his, the men were work ing under his direction
 Hitchcock told the court that he leased the land to DeI1io but with the understanding that it was not to be worked on the Sabbath To this the lessee agreed. When he broke his promise, Hitchcock considered it time to act and made complaint to the sher- if. The latter had no other course to pursue than to make the arrests.
 To the court Dellio stated that last week he purchased 5000 cabbage plants. Saturday 1t rained, while Sun day the land was in almost perfect condition for the setting out of the plants He also feared that the plants would wilt if kept over another day The eight men admitted to the court that they worked on the Sabbath All were questioned as to their knowledge of the law and all admitted that they heard that Sunday working in the fields was prohibited. The court had no alternative then but to find the eight men guilty, though it was with reluctance that the men were fined. Only nominal fines were imposed.
 The eight men arrested are all work ing men. A few pf them walk to Bridgeport each day to their employ ment in the factories, swhiI6 the re- nainder are employed on the Hydraulic Go. dam.

 Lake Mystery Dead Girl Had Hinted at Suicide By Drowning So Had
 Johns

Wifkes-Ba Pa, July 10.-Scores of letters that passed between Alice CrispelI, the IS year old daughter of a farmer, whose body was found in Harvey's Lake stNMonday, and Her be94 Johns, the mine worker who is under arrest here in connection with her death have been made public by the county detectives who are work ing on the case.
 All the letters are filled with love sentiments and some of them show that the girl and Johns had their troubles. The girl in several missives to Johns told of having quarrels wieh members of her family.
 "So many things are troubling me that feel like jumping into the lake, 7 she said in one letters. Johns in a letter to the girl wrote, sI had a no- ton to jump into the lake and end all my troubles. Why, darling, havA so many I do not know what to do with tl1em.''
 County Detective McKe1vey said Johns admitted to him that both had been drinking on the night of the Fourth of July which was the last night the girl was seen alive. In one of his letters to Miss Crispell Johns wrote: t'I'm temperance between drinks and so are you. dearest. We won't have to wait much longer till the Fourth of July. Then we'll have a. adevil of a tine.''
 It is expected that sophanus Reese of Plymouth, who told the police yes terday that he saw a woman resenb- ling Miss Crispell stagger along the road to Harvey's Lake and that a man was assisting her, will be one of the most important witnesses at the in quest tonight
 The funeral Of Miss CrispeH was held from her ho1nes in the upnptains today. Internent was in a. rural ceill- etery about ten miles from the Cris- pelI farm.

Commissioner McChord's report re- views exhaustively the evidence devel- oped at hearings and at a coroners s inquest and says in part:
 ''The direct cause of this accident was the failure of the engineman on second No. B to apply the air brakes in time to stop his train before reach ing the home signal This failure was the result of an error in judgment on the part of the engineman, due to his lack of experience in handling high speed passenger trains and the ah- sence Of instructions regarding the proper method of handling his train
 ''The responsibility for placing an inexperienced and uninstructed eng ineman in charge of a high speed pas senger train rests with the operating officers of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company.
 Contributing causes of the accident were the improper location of the dis tance signal at Stamford and the fact that the train brakes were not as 7ef- ficient as the requirements of safety demand on a train of that character.
 ''As to the effort to place blame for this accident upon the enginenen'S working agreement with this railroad, attentiods called to the rules laid down in that agreement: Rule 1, of article g: spare engineers shall be run first in and first out so far as it is possible with the requirements of the service and when engineers are assigned to temporary vacancies they shall remain on same, provided they are competent until the regular engineer returns. They shall receive rates of regular en- gineers while on the road.
 tRule 1, as amended, exception C.: No engineer who has less than one years roster rating as an engineer shall be allowed to run through pas senger trains.
 This rule has two plain and defin- ite exceptions.

the granting of a new trial they ara
also sufficient to make a change of
