Hawley> has journeyed to New Haven in an effort to ascertain definitely whether addi- tional cars were added at New Haven to the Stamford wreck train which left Springfield on June 12 under control Of Engineer Doherty. This question was promised to be answered by off, cials of the road at a former hear ing, but has not up to the present time.
 Cororer Phelan also indicated that he would go into detail as to the avail ability of steel cars for the train in question and if they were available at the time he will inquire into the req son for their not being used.

 A hearing was under way by rail- road officials in New Haven, today, into the circum stances Of Engineer Harmon's running by the South Nor walk signal. It was based upon the statement of Mir Harmon made dur
 
 question after he had gone by a clear distant signal he had found the nome signal against him. Har- mon was driving engine 1888 on that day.
 Characterizing the statement in ques- ton issued over the name of Edwin G. Briggs, executive assistant and pub licity agent for the New Haven road, as unwarranted and not founded on fact, Coroner John J. Phelan of this city today journeyed to New Haven, where he demanded of the legal de partment that as relating to himself the attack be modified.
 When seen today Coroner Phelan appeared extremely indignant over the but in view of the prom ises of Attorney Benjamin l.

CLARK SAYS HE'S
 STILL JUDGE OF
 HARTFORD COURT

Hartford. July seJudge Walter 1T. Clark of the local police court today filed in the superior court his an- swer to the quo warranto writ issued on behalf, of Frederick G. Eberle, who claims the judge ship under appointing g of Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin.
 In effect Judge Clark's contention in his answer is that no vacancy exists therefore the Governor had no legal power to appoint his successor He quotes the constitution of the State which says that inferior Judges shall be appointed by the General Assem- 1y; also the charter of the City of Hartford as amended in 1907 which says that the judge Of the police court shall hold office for two years, and until his successor shall be duly ap- pointed and qualified '' These, he says, are still in force. He denies that he was appointed for a term of two years only. &

PLAN TO CHECK
 MARCH OF BOIL
 WEEviL IN SOUTH

Washington, July 9-In a, desperate effort to- stop the onward march of the boil weevilss Senator Smith of South Carolina, has revised a plan wherebys the federal government will outline to the farmers of the south certain territory which must not be planted in the coming year and the Federal treasury will see to 1t that the farmers sustain no pecuniary losses by reason of the order. Sena- tor Smiths plan is said to have re- ceived the endorsement of Senator Kern, the majority leader.
 The boil weevil has cost the cotton growers of the south hundreds of thousands of dollars. Its migration is slow, the pests spreading from cot ton field to cotton field, and virtually touching no other vegetation. By the interposition of a territory barren of. cotton, Senator Smith believes the advance could be checked.
 The weevi1 has already swept over Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Ar kansas and now is threatening to in wade the cotton states of Alabama, Florida, the two Carolinas and Vir- ginia.

ing color. or Of ribbon, checked, plain, or
striped. The Turkish sash and the Baya-
dere sash are not included in this new
fashion. for they have outworn their well
come. and although one sees them here
and there they are not considered in
first fashion. Probably this was because
the department stores hurriedly rushed
them into all the cheap. readyto-wear
gowns OF the season, and women rapidly
grew tired OF them. Like many another
fashion, they may die and bloom again
next autumn.
The sashes OF July are extra wide and
unboned, but they are far more apt to
go high on the figure than low, which is
the oriental grdle. The largeness of the
waist line and that whole part of the
figure from bust to waist is now covered
by these loose folds of soft material
which are finished in the back with a
crushed butterfly bow or a shirred buckle
or fattened streamers which are pleated
at the top and hang to the knees.
One not only sees the high, loose girdle
on foulards and wolfe and embroidered
nets, but also on those coatee gowns
made of linen. cotton ratine. pongee and
striped silk. These gowns. you know,
have a coat effect by means of a fitted
peplum. which is irregular at the lower
edge and about hip length The girdle
separates the blouse from the peplum in
effect. although the entire costume is
made In one is slipped over the head and
hooked down the front.
BY the way. this delightful fashion of
hooking everything in front continues.
and we are promised its long lease Of
life. Just how this will be managed is
hard to tell. because the French, from
whom We draw our inspiration. have
never taken kindly to any garment which
fastens in front, as their artistic natures
refuse to have the front lines broken
by fastenings; they are always entirely
Indifferent to how woman gets into a
gown, as any can tell by having worn a
solitary French frock. They aim for eff
feet. for grace. for color combinations.
and they would disregard any protest
against inconvenience Their clothes are
hooked in such complicated manner
