Proof Is becoming more plentifui

country have seen the light" and
are saving their breeding cattle and
their heifer calves from the greedy
butcher who ridicules the idea OF cat

the men who have been trying to get
laws passed to prevent the slaughter
OF young she-stuff.
Market reports show that very few
well-bred stock calves OF either sex
are reaching the market. and the
scarcity of heifer calves among the

Explosion of

MAN KILLED IN A NEW HAVEN
 GARAGE.
OVERLOOKED THE TANK
Went Into Cellar With Lantern to In- Vestigate and Explosion Resulted Three Other Persons Injured,

New Haven, Conn, June 17.-In an explosion of benZine at the garage of Kirk 6 company in Crown street to- night, John Fitch of Mont Carmel lost air from the building carried with 1t the plate glass windows on the Crown street side and broke much glass in buildings in the rear and across Crow street. The garage itself. being Of concrete and steel, was little damaged and the fire which followed the explo- sion had little to consume and was quickly controlled by the f1remen.
 overfowed His Tank.
 Persons on the street who were passing say 8 shot of flame came from the garage doors following the explo- sion. The man killed was the driver of a Standard Oil delivery wagon. The police account is that Fitch by means Of hose had filled from his wagon in the street the large benzfn1 tank under the floor of the cellar of the garage. Five feet of concrete protect the tan% and the valves are automatic, so that the tank itself did not explode. The driver oVerf1oWed the tank by about 50 gallons before he shut off the oil. He moved his wagon to a, httching post and presumably with lantern weat to the cellar to ascertain the condi- t1ons. The gas was ign1ted.

 The force of the combustion drove upwards three floors the big elevator used to place machines on the upper floor.

Stamford, Conn. June 1.-The great superheater engine 1888 which on Thursday last crushed the parlor car Skylark on train 5 and snuffed out six lives, was put through it's paces under conditions as nearly as possible as those of the afternoon of the wreck in front of the Stamford station this afternoon. The levers of the engine were operated at the direction of ex- perts who had been assigned by Presi- dent Mellen of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad to deter mine as far as possible the technical condition of the engine and the equip ment of second section of 53 which was attached.
 Brakes Responded Satisfactorily.
 Running at a mile a minute at times the brakes on the engine were applied in the tests and every time they ap- paren1y responded as they should. The railroad officials claim that aside from repairs to boiler tubes Engine 1888 was in just the condition it was found after it had been dragged free of the wreckage of the parior car
 The train test today was another phase of the inquest. and was prelim- mary to the opening tomorrow of the inquiry by the interstate comm merce commission at Bridgeport. The test is not completed, as the engine will be run again tomorrow between New Ha- ven and Bridgeport to determine brake efficiency.
 At Speed of 64 Miles an Hour.
 Today's trial was to have Engineer AlcCOnville, who was in the cab. run down to signal towers just as Engi- neeT Doherty said he did on June 12 On the first run here from New Haven the train rushed down upon a tower cast of here at a speed of GA miles an hour.

Hartford, Conn, June 17-Secretary of State Phillips tonight announced that during the present year the re- ceipts of the automobile department up to June l, amounted to S269, ,257 20. During 1912 the total business done in this department amounted to S256.- 63S-49 so that there is an increase of twenty-five per cent in the receipts.

 The total registration of pleasure motor vehicles this year numbers IT, s45 as compared with 17,947 last year. Over 800 registrations, however, have been issued during the first sixteen days of this month, which makes a substantial increase.
 The total registration of livery cars is 669 as compared with 517 last year. The number of dealers registrations for this year is 347, a decrease from last year.
 Summing up, there have been 1S,- es3 motor vehicles registered during the present year, compared with 1S,- SEQ last year The figures for this year are up to June 1 so that before the year ends big increase is looked for
 Mir. Phillips also states that a re- Vised list of automobiles is now in the hands of the printer. It will be dis tributed Jug 1. There will be an is- sue of 25,000 books, enough to meet all demands. He says the book will be printed at a less cost than before Mr. Phillips praises very highly the work of the clerical force in the automobile department for arising to the occa- sion and doing the extra work at so little extra expense.

SENATOR AND A COAL
 OPERATOR HAVE "RUN-IN."
Almost Fist Fight at Senate Strike
 Investigation.

Charleston, W. Va, June 17.-At a stormy session of the senate mine strike committee. at which a near-fst fight between Senator Maritime of New Jersey and Quinn Morton, manager 1f the Paint Creek Operators association, was narrowly averted, the coal oper~ ators of Paint and Cabin Creeks today presented their side of the controver- sy. Mr. Morton. as the principal wit ness for the operators, presented their account of the negotiations which pre- ceded the strike and delayed his ec- tivities during the troubles. His count of his participation in the attack on the strikers camp at Holy Grove from an armored train precipitated the clash with Senator Maritime, who was questioning him. at the close of the morning session.
 This afternoon, following an earnest conference between Senators Swans9r,, Kenyon and Maritime, Senator Kenyon took charge of the hearing. and Sena- tor Maritime did not ask a question, although he had been persistent ex- aminer during MT. Mortons appear ance this morning. All through the morning session feeling ran high, counsel for the operators at three diff ferent times protesting vigorously in rather strenuous language against tho methods of examination employed by Senator Maritime. After the disorderly outbreak in the committee room e1- cftement was intense among the spec tators, counsel and the crowds that thronged the Hobbies of the hotel where the committee is sitting. The commit tees arrangements to place the entire hearing in charge of Senator Kenyon, however, quieted things down. and the afternoon session went off quietly.
 The committee planned tonight to conclude the examination here tomor- row afternoon and to start for Wash ington. Many witnesses will be ex- amined in Washington.
