PHELAN MAY ORDER
BETTER SAFEGUARD
Coroner Looking Into Con-
ditions at Scene of Nor
walk Railroad Fatality

That recommendations for the
bridging or otherwise making safe of
the Catherine street crossing of the
Danbury branch of the New Haven
railroad in the city of NorwaIk will
result from Coroner ]. j. Phe1ans in
vestigation into the death of AIbin
Ernest Hedman, on Wednesday last
seem probable from the preliminary
statements made by that Official to a
reporter for The Farmer today.
Somebody certainly is greatly to
blame for leaving a crossing un-
guarded as it is today, said Coroner
Phelan, 'rand while I will not venture
to state at the present time whether
young Hedman met death through his
own negligence, or whether the con-
ditions there were such as contributed
towards it, there is no question but
that it should be guarded at least by
a flag-man or bars. 1t is true that
a warning signal in the form for bell
is situated at the point, but this often
rings without it being certain that a
train will pass, and citizens have con-
sequent1y accustomed themselves to
its false warning.
ST am not prepared to state that
such was the case in Hedman's death,
as my initial investigation tended to
show that he might have had a. full
view of the tracks for a considerable
distance, and I propose to investigate
further, but there should be better
protection afforded at that point by
the Norwalk authorities or the rail-
road company \
Hedman, while driving a heavy
hardware notor-truck on Wednesday
afternoon was coasting down the steep
grade when his vehicle, struck direct
ly in the center, was carried upon the
pilot of the Wil1ianstown express for
a distance of LOO feet up the. tracks
and the driver instantly killed.
The coroner expressed himself as
satisfied with the work done by the
Stamford authorities in holding
George Graulich and Barry Senne-
waId, two youths OF that city, under
$4,000 bonds upon charges of man
slaughter. Ae reported in The Far
mer, after having struck Frank Mays,
a resident of Stamford on Main street,
February IL, while travelling at a
rapid rate of speed, the pair drove
hastily from the scene and afterwards,
it is charged, attempted to further
conceal their act by closely watching
the work of the police and attempt
ing to destroy evidence in the hands
of the authorities.

For years suffering with tubercu-

dismissed as unru1y, Walter Gall, -
years old, formerly a resident Of
North Bridgeport, but of later years
inhabiting the cheaper lodging houses.

ing on Union Square. His body. while
yet warm, was discovered by Patrol
man Otto Kraft, who reported hfs

of the body to the morgue, where ie
was later claimed by a sister. 1Grs-
Philip Flynn the wife Of a veft

In speaking of the case today sup4-
Fred Johnson said This is the very
case of which asked publication a
few days since, in The Farmer. It is
but one of many for which there 1s
absolutely no provision made under
the statutes
tThe family Of Gall wished him sent
to a, sanitarium. We did so, but he
was not a desirable patient as he re-
fused to abide by the rules and the
Shelton authorities found # necsssary
to refuse him further treatment. We
desired to send him to Undercliffs
Sanitarium at AIerfden, but he refused
to absent himself from the scenes Of
his former gayety. There are many
such cases in Bridgeport today which
should be committed to prevent the
awful spread Of disease which follows
their abiding in lodging houses. But
there is no law under which we can
commit them.
"As an example of what an awful
menace such persons, in the last
stages of the disease are, I may mere
1y cite from this record book IN my
hand from which you will see that
since April 1, last year we have sent
12 applicants to the sanitarfum FOR

source for the spread Of this great
plague and I am strongly IN favor
of an ordinance prohibiting their be-

This Of course predicating a statute
which will permit of some 1egaIized

1t is asserted that the Board OF
Health have long sought for means
such as recommended by Supt- John
son, but DIR. E. A McLeiIans nealth
officer could not today be reached
to express his views or just what pro-
gress was being made towards secur-
ing such legislation.
That there are today, walking ths
streets, ready to die as did Gall, many
unfortunate victims of the disease who,

House Committee Scores Crude
Methods of Handling
General Surplus

washington, Feb. 21.-Interest
amounting to s36, 6,eOo,92S has been
lost by the treasury department in the
last 26 years.
general surplus fund is crude, un-
businesslike, improbable and dis
criminatory.'
"a working balance of $25.OOO,ooo
in the treasury is sufficient
'"The government can Increase its
revenues $2,00O,O00 a year by charg-
ing interest on funds in government
depositories''
These are the findings, today, of
the House committee on expenditures
in the treasury department, the re-
suits of several months of investiga-
ton into the governments fiscal
operations.
Failure of the treasury department
to exact interest on funds given ma
tionaI banks as special or general or
federal repositories" is the principal
criticism of the committee. This
criticism was made by Rudolph
Spreckels, the San Francisco banker,
in his broadside\ against treasury or
der No. s." which decried deposit of
-government receipts in national banks
without interest payments.
In its report, the House committee
says:
t'The question as to the proper

money in the treasury commonly re-
ferred to as the working balance has
been before the committee. After
careful consideration the committee
finds:
''That large Sums of money have
been unnecessarily retained in the
treasury aggregating at times $780,
'.That $25. 100000 is an ample
amount to retain in the vaults as a
working balance.
'eThe government has lost in the
past 26 years in not collecting inter-
ests on its deposits, figured at 2 per

'tThe governmet has lost on the ex-
cess retained in the treasury, figured
at 2 per cent. the sum of SAT. .61O,s6
'"The right accorded banks to act
as government repositories is a dis
elimination against all banks not SO
privilege or government favoritism.
''The system is crude, unbusiness
like, Improbable, and discriminatory,
resulting in unearned and large prof
it's and advantages to certain favored
banks and ought to be speedily re-
formed
The committee urged that the ways
and means committee or the banking
and currency committee consider leg
islation to abolish the government de-
pository system. by forcing banks to
bid for deposits.
There are 1,436 regular depositor-
les, the committee finds, without in

discretion of the secretary of the

MADERO'S FATE
STILL HANGING
Though His Wife Re-
celves Reassuring
Message
Still Believed He'll Be Killed
on Way to Vera Cruz
Under Exile

Mexico City, Feb. 21-Prostrated
by the strain of anxiety as to the fate
of her husband, Sonora Madero, to-
day received reassuring message
from President Huerta to the effect
that Francisco Madero was in no i'm
mediate danger of losing his life. The
former presidents wife was in the
care of physicians. who reported that
she was suffering from nervous pros
tration and Huerta's message is said
to have had salutary effect.
Despite the reinsurance from the
provisional president, it was known
here that Madero's fate still hung in
the balance and probably would not
be decided until late today when Con-
gress was to meet. It was to be the
first question considered by the legis-
lative body.
It was the general belief, today,
that Madero would not be executed
by formal order if at all. Should it
be decided that his death is necessary
to the stability of the new govern
ment, the public would not be in
formed The course of procedure
would likely be the same followed in
the execution of Gustavo Madero. The
dread "ley de fuga' would again be
invoked.
Madero would probably be killed
while on the way to Vera Cruz under
exile. The report would be issued
InaL ne naQ met with a 1ata1 accl-
dent" enroute to Vera Cruz, or that
he tried to escape and was shot.
This law of flight, under which the
prisoner is told that he is free to es-
cape and is then shot down while
running away from his guards, is like
" to be applied at frequent intervals
in the near future. It has proved an
easy way to get rid of troublesome
prisoners.
1t was reported. today, that the
national treasury shows a deficit of
six million pesos, for which Madero
will be forced to give an accounting.
Investigation of this alleged IootiDg of
si@ treasury involves the names nf-a
number of prominent Maderisfas,
who, fearing the result of the new
governments. findings, have already
been agitating for a new revolution.
AS yet the danger of a new revolt
is mere talk, but it may grow into a
serious movement within the next
month and require drastic action on
the part of Huerta and Diaz. Such
talk has led to the belief that there
are a number of prospective cases un-
der consideration by Huerta and his
councillors for the application of the
''Law of fight

GERMANY COMPLIMENTS
o. S. ACTION IN MEXICO

Berlin, Feb. 21.-Answering a ques-
ton in the Reichstag on the Mexican
situation, Foreign Minister Jagow,
this afternoon, took occasion to COM
pliment the United States on that
country's actions in the Mexican trou-
BILE. Summing up the latest Mexican
revolution, Jagow said but one Ger
man citizen was wounded and that
Germany thanked the United States
for the protection given to Germans
by the American embassy.
Germany, said the foreign minister,
would maintain such an attitude of
reserve as is proper for one state to
retain in regard to internal troubles in
another, but this, he said, would not
prevent Germany from taking a
strong sfand for the protection of
German lives and property, if it
should become necessary.

Aged Danbury
Couple Die In
Same Room Today

Danbury, Feb. 21.-John Smith, s5,
and his wife, Julia E., 73, died in the
same room, early today, within a few
hours of each other. Mrs. Smith,
who has been ill three months, died
at midnight, and her husband died at
O'Clock. Mr.. Smith was in state
of coma when his wife died and he
did not know of her death. They had
both known for several days that
neither could live and, wishing to be
as near each other as possible in their
last illness, were cared for in the
same room. They had been married
Sc years.

EXECUTION OPPOSED
BY UNITED STATES

Washington Feb. .-21.-Execution of
Francisco I. Madero, the deposed
president of Mexico, by the Huerta-
Diaz provisional government, will be
vigorously opposed by the United
States.
On highest authority, it was learn
ed today, that a communication from
the state department, notifying Amer
ican Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson,
of this governm ment's attitude in Ma
dero's case, was sent to Mexico City
more than SO hours ago. The am
bassador in turn, conveyed the note to
provisional President Huerta who
notified Wilson that disposition of
Madero would be considered with the
greatest deliberation.
On the report, however, that Ma
dero seemed certain to be condemns
ed to face a firing squad, following
action by the legislature, there was
talk of taking the matter before Presi-
dent Taft.
The administration it was learned,
seeks to intercede for Madero only
from a humanitarian standpoint, be-
lieving that butehery would be ex-
ceeding1y harsh. Madero's 1eniency
in determining the fate of Felix Diaz,
a, few months ago, at Vera Cruz, pre-
venting the execution of the man who
later carried on successful revolt
against him, is believed to have been
considered by this government.
