Seriously Injured in Auto Mishap

Charles H. Ballard is in an uncon-
scious condition with conclusion of the
brain as a result of an automobile acct
dent late Tuesday evening, when the
greater part of his scalp was severed
from his skull and an ear cut, probably
by plunging his head through the
windshield of the automobile of DR.. E.
L. Tracy of Pittsfeld, who with Gideon
HUT and Nelson Amazon of the same
place, was driving his automobile, a
new Ford runabout up Main street in
Bethel. Mr.. Ballard was riding on the
running board. When the front wheel
struck bank near the town hall, it is
supposed he lost his balance, and
plunged forward, later falling back upon
the street, where he was picked up and
carried to the office of DIR. O. d. and O.
V. Greene, where it took more than an
hour to care for the wounds.
The automobile, of which the driver
had lost control, continued 70 or 50 feet
till stopped by hydrant, which was
tipped considerably by the contact.
The front tires were ruined and the
front wheels twisted, and in all prob
ably $50 worth of damage done to the

THE NEW HAVEN'S DISASTER.
No Valid Excuse for Rear-End
Collision, Commentator Say.

If accidents of this kind are to occur
constantly as a result of fundamental
defects in management, not only Mr..
Melen but the entire board of directors
should go, because only in that way can
real reform come. The density of traf-
fic is one Of the reasons that will be
given by the New Haven for the dis
aster. If the traffic is too dense there
should be more tracks. If it should be
shown that the wooden cars are respons-
ible for the deaths of the passengers
crushed by the locomotive of the second
train, then the wooden cars should in
stantly be discarded. 1t is time for
action, not excuses. New York Herald

speech making on the final day of
general debate on the tariff bill made
proceedings lively in the house. Most
of the members had held back with a
view of getting the larger audiences
expected with the closing of the gen
eral debate and the shifting of the
consideration Of the Underwood tariff
revision to reading Of the measure
under the five minute rule, beginning
tomorrow.
Chairman Underwood has not chang
ed his view that the bill should be
disposed of in the house within a
week from today and that the sugar
schedule is not likely to offer much
real trouble. He hoped that unless the
fight of the anti-free wool advocates
spreads, the bill will emerge from the
senate substantially in the form in
which it stands.

represented the dawn of a new era
in the governments fiscal policy,
making lighter the burdens of taxes
upon consumers and compelling great
wealth to contribute its fair share to-

If TARIFF is SAFELY DISPOSED
OF, ACTION MAY OCCUR IN
SPECIAL SESSION
DRAFTING is UNDER WAY
THE EXECUTIVE is ANXIOUS
THAT CARE BE TAKEN IN ITS
PREPARATION

Washington, Aprh 2S-President
Wilson feels that prospects for cur
rcncy legislation during the present
session, depend not alone upon the
dispatch with which the tariff bill is
disposed Of, but upon progress toward
a common agreement as to what
should constitute banking reform.
The president hopes that the infor-
NAL discussion and preliminary inves-
tigation going on among currency re-
form advocates will lead to a general
understanding before long, so that the
bill itself may be launched and, if it
meets the approval of democratic lead
ers generally, an effort might be made
to push its passage before the extra
session adjourns.
The president intimated that until
definite progress had been made in
drafting the bill, there would be lit
tie effort to sound out sentiment in
congress.
The impression was gained, hoWeV-
ef, at the White House that a very
definite measure would be completed
before long and that it might be sub
mitted to party leaders before the
tariff bill had been finally acted upon.
