 Gathered about the signal box at the Country club switch were Coroner John J. Phelan, Engineer C. c. ElweIls S5upt. GIL Chapman of the Bridgeport division and S1lpt- J. B. Potter Of the Norwalk division of the trolley com pany, Attorney Seth M. Baldwin, at torney for the company, stenographer Clarence Hall. for Coroner Phelan. Frederick W. Andrews, president of the Norwalk Trolley Mems union, rep resenting the men held under bonds and R. C. Schneider, stenographer for the Public Utilities Commission
 At the conclusion of the first test President Andrewz in no fukewarm way testified to his dissatisfaction with the way the cars came in. In this he was supported both by Cor oner PheIan and Engineer mwen be- cause the cars had not met at the switch. The second test was then made, three cars leaving each end. The start was made from the West port switch at 12:09:11 and at Peetss Swarnr1 af 12-1O-00
 The official record taken by En- gineer G11Wen is as follows: ThizHy seconds after cars started, light dim mer; 1 min, considerably dinner, growing yellow; 1:10, dinner and huctuating; 1:2O, quite dim; 1:30, dim mer still; :S5, dinner; 1:4O. growing brighter 1:45, brightening; 1:50, brightening 1:55, brighter; 2 min. still brighter, one car in sight from Peet's Swamp; 2:15, two cars in sight; 2:so. lights growing dinner, two cars close by; 3:1O second and third cars in sight-one from Westport; 3:30 an other car in sight, lights growing brighter; 3:S5, quite dim; 3:50, fourth car in sight; 5 min, 30 sec, all four cars at switch.
 The third test was then made be- cause President Andrews believed that the other tests did not show the actual load conditions they oc- cured on the day of the accident when more cars were between Nor walk and the switch taking load from the power house. Coroner Phelan ex- pressed his desire to see if it were possible. under the present signal sys- tenn to run cars on the line while the signal lights were out.
 Superintendents Chapman and Pot ter, with Attorney Baldwin protested vigorously upon the ground that the test would be unfair to the company and also if Tajehf tend to bI0w o11f fuses in the power house and delay regular trafac on the lines as well as keep the additional test ears held up

 Coroner Phelan overruled the ob-

jection upon the grounds that 1t should be made in order to give the men held under suspicion for passing the lighted signals fair chance.
 It is expected that following the tests and in his recommendations to the Public Utility Commission. Engf- neer Elwel will recommend that 1r- respective of the results of the pres ent test the commission order auto 1natic signals upon all trol1eys lines in, Connecticut, to be operated by power separate and distinct from that used for motive power in cars.
 During the course of the testss when Coroner Phe1an noticed that the glasses in the switch box at the CouR try club had recently been washed he expressed himself as much dis pleased. Both Supt. Potter and Chap man denied that this Improvement had been made under instructions from them.
 Following the tests, President An drews of Norwa1k Local, Trolleymen's Union, declared himself satisfied with the tests The railroad officials how ever expressed their belief that, the test had been much too severe.
 Coroner Phe1an desired to be in formed what would be the practice of a motorman when arriving at the signal box and finding the lights so dimmed that he could not perceive it. Neither Supts- Chapman or Potter would place themselves upon record, but stated in their opinion the motor man should wait until a car had ar rivId

INVENTION
 RAISES SPEED BUT SAVES MOTOR FUEL
New Carburretor By D. B Hill is Hailed By Gas
 Engine Men

A new invention, patented by Bridgeport man and now being manu- factured here, after repeated tests have shown it to be far superior to anything similar, is an automobile and marine carburetor devised by Dwight and made by the Bridgeport Brass company. It's use in racing boats and automobiles increases the revolutions of engines from | to 15 per cent, saw ing much fuel and that, in laboratory tests, it has developed between 15 and of gasoline of from Is to 80, per cent. Experts declare that it will work a revolution in the motor and automo- bile world.
 The new device was in operation upon the @Humpty Dumpty," which won the Bishop Power Boat cup on July A. and the owner, A. F. Connors declared that his winning all prizes was due entirely to the carburetor, which not only brought his three cycle Palmer engine from 610 to 655 revolu- ions per minute, but made the excess speed without additional gasoline.
 Mir. Hill. the inventor. for the past six years connected with the Bridge port Brass company, and before that in the engineering department of the American & British Manufacturing company, declares that laboratory tests have disclosed greater efficiency and mixing power, with easier and more perfect control, than any car- fburetor in use.
 The device is of the hoat-feed type, with a center tube and needle con striction in the venturi, adjustable for dash control on automobiles or bridge control on yachts. It works at any angle to which it would be subjected in such structures. In addition to the main nozzle, there is a slow-speed noz- gle onl the engine side of the throttle which takes care of light loads or "idling,' so that, upon opening of the throttle, the sIow-speed jet goes out of use and the main jet comes into effect. The governing control is air vent which passes through the needle valve which at low speed tends to help the gasoline out of the nozzles and at high
