labor leaders and underlings of secre-

men he had worked with through with
a year of most active campaigning in
many parts of the country. His per-

connection with alleged penitentiary
frauds was acquitted in the Hinda

Judge Henry gave peremptoTy instruc-

that corpus delicti had not been

Brewer and Fagan Witnesses.
The two important witnesses on be-
half of the the state introduced at the
Monday afternoon session were H. A.
Pagan, of the Burns detective agency,
who worked up the case against
Howdy, and Governor Earl Brewer,
who is directing the state prison in
vestigation.
Fagan's evidence. consumed a good
portion Of the afternoon session. 1t
was the statement of an accountant,
backed up by volunimous figures, and
necessarily dry and bit uninteresting
because Of its statistical character.
The purpose of the state, through
this witness, was to show a collusion
between w. B. Gowdy, as manager of
the Jackson Oil & Refining Company.
and Lawrence Yerger. defaulting Sec
retary Of the prison board. Pagan
showed conclusively that numerous
cotton seed shipments to the Jackson
Oil & Refining Company had been
short-weighed. In fact, the defense
made no effort to disprove this fact,
the signed confession of Lawrence
Yerger being proof positive on that
point. The whole purpose of the de-

On bills of lading were made by Law
renee Yerger, and that Gowdy had no
knowledge of the latter's peculations.
Pagan revealed an intimate knowI-
edge of his work, and his answers
were in every instance direct, backed
up by figures. When he left the stand
the sole question was whether the
jury was going to believe that the short
weighting of cars could have taken
place without Gowdy's knowledge.
Gov. Brewers evidence against |
Gowdy, while brief, was rather Sc
we're. He told how Gowdy had refused
to permit examination of his records,
of the trouble he had encountered in
gaining access to certain documents,
alleging that the oil mill records were
hidden out to prevent him from get
ting to the bottom of the matter. The
cross-examination of the Governor was
rather brief.

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as This Should Convince
 Any Canaan Citizen.

The public endorsement of 8 local citi- zen is the best proof that can be pro. duced. None better, none stronger can le had. When a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow.citizens, ad dresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he IS thoroughly convinced or he would not do so.
 Telling ones experience when it is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be appreciated. The following statement given by resident of Canaan adds one more to the many cases of Home Endorsement which are being published about Doan's Kidney Pills. { Read it.
 John Kane, Reed St., Canaan, Conn. ', says: II do not hesitate to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, as they did me a world of good. My kidneys were weak and I was caused annoyance by too fre- quent passages of the kidney secretions. My back pained me and whenever I stopped or lifted, the trouble was worse.

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
(Continued from First Page.)

how his VII indiyldual business may be affected by it's terms. There has been general impression, we believe, that the act did not affect anybody regularly en- ploying less than five persons, The com mlssioners at very early date in their official duties were in very great doubt as to whether this impression was correct or not, and they requested the Attorney General of the state to give his opinion on the subject. This opinion was written on October 23, 1918. It has been pub hshed or has been furnished for publica- tion to every daily newspaper in Con- neoticut. It is contained in Bulletin No. 1, which has been prepared for general circulation. In the opinion of the Attor- ney General the act applies to every per son who employs another for hire.
 "The only difference between those regularly employing less than five and those regularly employing five or more IS this, that the person regularly employ ing less than five will probably deem it to his advantage to refuse to accept the provisions of Part B of the compensation act, which he can do by procuring from the Town Clerk form No. 1, which should be filled out and served on the com mis- sioner, and form No. 3, one of which should be filled out and served on each or ms employees
 ''On the other hand, those regularly employing five or more will very likely find it to their advantage to accept the act and come under it's provisions The attention of all p ersons having regularly five or more employees is particularly di- rected to Section 30 of the act, and they are advised that they had better prompt ly consult counsel as to it's meaning and the particular duties which it impOses upon them. A bulletin of information upon this section of the0eses has been sent out to each Town Clerk in the state in limited numbers today. This bulletin is the result of several weeks work on the part of my colleagues and myself" said MT. Williams, and should be read by every person interested. There are not enough of them for every person in the state, but it can be read over in a very short time in the office of any Town Clerk"

The Engineer.

The engineer IS the large. quiet man in overalls who acts as mahout of the modern locomotive. "
 In the last 30 years locomotives have quadrupled in weight. But the ga me sized engineers are still used, and are giving very good sa tisfaction. :
 The engineer is one of the few men who can ride free on our railroad trains nowadays. His is a pleasant life. All he has to do is to sit on cushioned seat and career blithely over and through the space and scenery and various obstruc- tions. ..
 He does not have to work at all. The fireman does the work. All the engineer does is to pull the throttle and yank the reverse lever and manipulate the brake and watch the steam gauge and super wise the forced draft and jolly along the headlight dynamo and lubricate the steam dome and keep an eye on the su- ,perheater and block up one side occa- sionally, when the high pressure cylin- der head blows out.
 The rest of the time he rides entirely at his ease and amuses himself by won- dering if he can pick up the next switch signal soon enough to stop the train if it happens to be red.
 IH6 0uSluE0T, lb WILL EuuS D6 S00u, leads jolly life and enjoys great deal of travel during the year. He usually travels about 250 miles day and when he gets off his engine he looks like Othello in overalls. If he travels too fast the company lays him off for speed ing. It he travels too slow the train dis patcher reports him, and if he suddenly stops travelling altogether in the middle of the journey, the coroner usually sits upon him and the officials try to prove that he wrecked his train and himself on purpose.
 The engineer is always present at all train wrecks, and usually he is in re- served seat in the front row. When the engineer observes another 200.ton engine approaching his on the same track at the rate of 60 miles an hour he is supposed by etiquette to remain at his post. This he usually does and when the wreckage is cleared away he is discovered holding the attacking engine Tn his lap.
 There are a great many different causes of wrecks in this country, but there is usually one standard result. The engineer is ruined for all future use as a citizen. It almost seems, sometimes, as if many railroad companies used no pre- caution against accidents beyond supply ing engineers to act as buffers between the opposing trains. New Garden Cour- fer Daily.
