YOUNG MAN KILLED BETWEEN CARS OF
 ROLLER COASTER

Trying to cross from one car to another Of a double-header on the roller coaster known as The Racer" in the Grove at Saxta 2@=S e1zAs 11:30 o'clock last night, Louis Trelle of Hartford missed his footing and fell between the two cars. Holding onto the rail of one of the cars, he was dragged forward and backward for several hundred feet and his legs were so badly crushed that he died about two hours later at the New Haven hospital, where he was taken after the accident.
 Trene was accompanied by two girls. The first of the cars on the roller coaster doubleheader was crowded and there was only room for the girls in the last seat. Trelle got into the front seat of the second car, where he could talk to them. The two cars were hitched together, but there was space of about two feet between them.
 About three-quarters of the way through the various bumps and dips that make up the coasters course, TrelIe decided to get over into the first car and sit with the girls. They had been laughing and joking rather ,boisterously throughout the trip. He started to step across, but slipped and fell and went down into the space be- tween the two cars. He managed to 1cGSP LA4S I<44441S Oh L14S l4ISL S<SL cLAO was dragged along with his feet trail- ing in under the second car.
 TrelIe shrieked wildly as the heavy car, with its human freight, ground over his legs. Women. in the two cars tainted and men shouted for help. The two cars were going up an incline when Trelle fell and the grinding of his legs. under the car slowed them up so that when it reached the top it didn't have force enough to go over and slipped back. When the car reached the bottom of the incline the power was shut off and a number of workmen hastened to lift the car and extricate TrelIe. He was unconscious when carried out.
 The accident was seen by a number of women and holiday seekers in the park and there was great excitement Several women, fainted.

mer these days. 1t is almost as popu.
lar a topic as better tenements' for
the city and good roads for motor
club members TO use and farmers to
pay for. In all have read and heard
no one seems yet to have got down to
brass tacks with real financial uplift
plan for the farmer.
"Two phases of the farmers predica-
meut have enlisted my personal inter
est because they run directly counter
to the way my mother has always
handled her wealth in relation to the
public good.
First is the rate Of interest the
farmer has to pay for money he Dor
rows. Government statistics show
that 100000 farmers Of the United
States pay an average interest rate
Of 81 per cent upon borrowed cap,
ital Of about 1912, 100000 to work
crops on land valued at $40, 600, 900, 900.
Since my mother began her career az
business woman she has never asked
more THAI 6 per cent year for the
use Of her money. The bulk Of her
loans have been at rates considerably
below G per cent. In France and Ger
many the farmer gets all the money he
wants at from 3h to AZ per cent
"The second phase Of the problem
I have observed is the action Of bankB
throughout the country In sending
their balances to Wall street, forming
. huge fund used for speculative pur-
poses. These balances represent the
net business profit of each particular
0cality-the very cream OF the pan
Of milk In the cool springhouse-yet
the creators Of this surplus wealth, the
farmers, are starved financially when
they apply for loans, because the funds
Of the community are in Wall street
being used in stock and bond promo
tons reaching even to China and the
Philippines.
For years my mother has held to
the belief and has absolutely lived up
to It, as far as her influence and power
have gone, that every community Ia
entitled to the full benefit Of It's pros
perity. She always made it an invio-
liable rule that profits acquired In
given locality belonged to that locality
and should always be reinvested In
that locality. Our books are divided
into different cities; We keep an &C
count of San Francisco money separ
rate from Chicago money; Toledo
money separate from New York
money, while Texas not only has tn
own net profits left there for reinvest-
ment in Texas enterprises, but now
and then gets additional help from sur
plus funds"
Colonel Green explained that the sp
plication Of his mothers principles OF
home cash for home people and her
rule Of 6 per cent or less would work
