Lane is on trip with the naval re- serves and not expected to return for nearly two weeks. Coroner PheIan also awaits the recovery of Mrs. Ray mond B. Jones, one Of the most seri- ously injured, who still lies at the Norwalk hospital in a. serious condi- tion.
 The coroner said this morning, that MOtorman Lane is reported to have said that he did not approach the sig nal box at the Westport switch upon mony may prove extremely important in view of evidence already introduc- ed before the coroner at past hear ings. Mrs. Jones is thought to have noticed the lights at the time the car passed them.
 Investigation will also be made by the coroner and Engineer Elwe1l of the Public Utilities Commission into the signal lights. More tests are ex- pected to follow, when the commis- sion is expected to rule that the Con- necticut Company requires better sig nals over their single track system.
 Passengers on the wrecked trolley car yesterday afternoon testified be- fore Coroner John J. Phelan, that lights in the signal boxes at the Coun- try Club switch were very dim, when they passed the signal box, just a few minutes before the crash. It was necessary for Coroner Phelan to visit hA l. %T- testimony of a number Of witnesses who still lie badly injured there.
 Richard Nevins, 14, of 148 Bur roughs street, Mrs. Nellie Fox, B Curtis avenue, and Nellie M Rutis- hauser. 131 Hough avenue. in answer to questions put by the coroner stated that the lights were very dim. They paid no attention to any unusual rate of speed.
 Mrs. Lucia MaIkley of 19 Curtis avenue, and Miss Nellie Anthony, visited at the hospitals, testified that the lights were very dim. At St. Vim cents hospital, Mrs. Anna Henkles Of 1s1 Calhoun avenue stated that she was sure that the lights were bright referred the coroner to Mrs. Henry Mitchell of 1114 Park avenue to cor roborate her statement. Mrs Mitchell stated that the lights were apparently out. at any rate, very dim.

Yens, Sens and Rims Complete Then
Simple Currency System.


The japanese currency system Is
very simple and is based upon a gold
basis The unit of value is q yen.
This equals so cents in gold according
to our United States values. One yen
is divided into 100 sen Each of the
natter is worth just one half of an
American cent. The japanese sen is
the equivalent of 10 rim. and the small
est Japanese coin consists of Il FIVE rim
piece. the equivalent of one-quarter OF
an American penny.
The currency media is composed of
paper notes. silver. nickel and copper.
The Japs have their paper money In
one. five. ten ven notes and upward.
The silver money comes In ten. twenty
and tifty sen pieces The smallest
nickel piece is valued at s sen. Then
come the copper coins These are val

FLYWHEELS IN WARFARE.
As Proiectiles They Would Nov Down
Everything In Their Way.

A big hywheel spinning rapidly in
wolves Il much greater danger than that
of merely exploding The explosion OF
fywheel is due to centrifugal force
and causes pieces of the wheel to fly
off at a tangent in the plane of the
wheel, but in practically every direc-
tion in this plane. But consider for O
moment what would happen if fly
wheel We're to become loose from it's
bearings and stay whole.
The great velocity of rotation would
be changed to velocity of translation,
and the wheel would travel with light
ming swiftness along the floor In the
direction Of rotation. 1t would act like
locomotive wheel going at tremen-
dous speed. OF course. If 1t were to
drop in a puddle of oil it would not 90
far, but simply slip like an engine
wheel on an oiled track. But with no
oil to check its course the results would
be awful to contemplate.
Suppose that the wheel was forty
feet in circumference and was rotating
at l 800 revolutions a minute. A point
72000 feet a minute. or about 800 miles
an hour. This is as fast as a cannon
ball and, of course. the wheel would
act in a similar manner to a cannon
ball--it would be q mighty projectile
that would go through almost any
thing 1t is this danger which keeps
the size and speed of dywheels down
in practice. especially aboard ship.
1t is possible that projectiles will yet
be made on this principle for certain
purposes. Think what an army could
do at short range if 1t was equipped
with hundreds of big aywheels that
could be released. They would travel
along the ground at great speed and
would simply NOW down everything in
their way. The only drawback to the
use of 6ywheels in this way is the re-
sistance of the ground and that would
not hold for a distance as short as half
a mile.
While an ordinary proiectie hits In
one spot only, the fvwheel would cover
an area as wide as the wheel aud as
long as the path over which it travelled.
Therefore it is hardly possible that any
wheel would become spent without do
ing great damage. 1t could be pretty
accurately aimed and on account of its
gyroscopic effect. would travel in prac-
tically a straight line. It's gyroscopic
effect would not. however. keep it from
going up or down hill but would pre-
vent it from deviating from its path
| otherwise.

would be hard to get. New York Amer

ONE or IRvING's POSES.
His Role Of Defeated Candidate In la
houchere's Borough.

houehere's Borough.
An amusing episode of the Middlesex
elections of 1868 was the error that the
supporters OF Henry Labouchere made
In taking Henry Irving for their de-
feated candidate The story is told by
Mr. Agar Labouchere Thorold In his
Life OF Henry Labouchere." as Mr.
Labouchere himself narrated 1t:
"I was the defeated candidate for Mid
dlesex. Those were the days OF hust-
tings and election displays. and 1t was
the fashion for each candidate to go
down to Brentford In carriage and
four to thank his supporters. On the
morning OF the day when | had to per
form this function. Irving called upon
me. and | invited him TO accompany
me. Down we drove. made an In
audible speech to noisy mob and we
re-entered our carriage to return to
London.
'In d large constituency like Middle
sex few know the candidates by sight.
Irving felt 1t his duty to assume an
attitude OF importance. He folded MS
arms. pressed his hat over his brows
and was every inch the baffied politi-
characterized, sad, yet sternly resign
ed TO his fate, In this character be
was so impressive that the crowd came
to the conclusion that he was the de-
feated candidate.

COURT FINDS FOR UNION.
Photo engravers May Refuse to Work
With Nonunion Workers.


Judge Hough in the federal district
court, New York city, denied the mo.
ton OF the Gill Engraving company
for an injunction against the New
YORK Photo-engravers' union No. /.
The Gill company had asserted the
union had combined to prevent its EN-
pluyment of any nonunion photo en-
gIaver, to restrain trade contrary to
the common law and the New York
state law and TO injure its business.
Judge Hough said 1t seemed plain
enough that the defendants had vio-
lated the general business law of the
state. but that a private party could
not sue for iniunctive relief In his
own suit. He declared that since the
law had recognized strikes 1t was Inn
possible to invoke equity as a remedy
for the injuries incident to such strug
giles.
The complainant had charged that
the Allied Printing Trades council
but the court held that there was no
proof that printers. hookbinders and
others had taken any part. Judge
Hough said 1t was important to study
the motive of the union.
What motive" he asked, .'incited
defendants to injure the Gill com
pany? None. except that 1t binders the
expansion and aggrandizement of the
union. and. therefore. gives rise to the
same kind of objection that the soldier
has to the man who prevents his on
ward march. 1t can rarely be said
that the soldier is moved by a desire
to kill his opponent, but he will kill
him If necessary"
The contention that the defendants
had violated the penal code of the
state of New York Judge Hough dis
missed by objecting to an appeal TO
equity for the enforcement of the pc
nal law.
After disposing OF the contention
that the general business law of the
state had been violated. Judge Hough
passed on to consider strikes and lock-
outs in the light of the common law.
He could not perceive much difference
between them. he said and for all of
them the New York law provided the
same test-an inquiry into the legality
of the object in view and OF the means
taken to obtain It, This judicial view.
Judge Rough said, was sure to follow
as soon as the courts had generally
abandoned the doctrine that any con.
certed arrangement which hindered
the following OF a trade or attempted
to change trade conditions, especially
wages, was an Objectionable con,
spiracy.
So. applying the rule laid down by
Justice Holmes in 1894. Judge Hough
held that the defendants had not com
bined with any intention of injuring
the Gill company. although that in
jury had occurred and might have
been foreseen. The object of the con.
spiracy had been merely to increase
the power Of the union. so as to get
more, better. easier and better paid
work and that, the judge remarked,
was now considered laudable.

4 DREAM AND A LETTER
Maybe Merely q Coincidence. Maybe .
Spirit Message.

The following story of dream was
told to a correspondent by an acquaint-
ance who Is about AS stolid and unim-
agtnative man as one could meet:
He had friend of whom be had lost
sight of for some time. This friend
committed suicide and one night. soon
after he had done SO. the unimagina
tive man dreamed that he was walk
ing along street after dusk when the
bust Of the dead man appeared to him
and requested him to follow 1t. He did
SO, and 1t led him to house. the door
of which was open. and then mp some
stairs to room where there was q
table on which lay a number OF books.
all OF which were lying open.
The dead man had been a great read
er and therefore there was nothing un-
usual In the spectacle OF great many
books In his room. The bust turned
to the unimaginative man and begged
so that 1t might continue to read. He
did so, and he remembers that the
bust became petulant when he turned
over two pages in mistake. When all
the pages were turned the bust appear
ed to be happy.
The dreamer awoke and told his wife
about It. When he went down to
breakfast he found a letter lying on
the table bearing the postmark OF
town of which he had no knowledge
other than It's name. He had never
been there. nor. so far as he was
aware, had the dead man. nor had be
any friends or relatives in the town.
The only relative of the dead man of
whom he had any knowledge lived in
another city.
When he opened the envelope he
found inside 1t small photograph OF
the dead man. showing his bust only
There was not any letter inclosed with
1t, nor anything to denote by whom II
had been sent. and to this day he does
not know from whom he received It,

brought to his notice the remarkable
case of woman possessing an ex-
traordinary sixth sense in regard to
spiders. She could. the writer records
detect the presence Of spider In any
room she happened to be living In
without having seen the insect or with
out having any reason TO suppose that
II was there. The discovery was ac-
companied by violent sickness. maiaise
