GAR CREWS WERE
 EXPERIENCED MEN

Crews of both cars that figured in last nights wreck are said to have been Inexperienced men by other em- ployes of the company today.
 Frank Raymond, motornan of the Coles expres car, entered the employ of the Connecticut company some years ago. Two years ago he left to run on interurbans on Long Island. Some time ago he re-entered the em- ploy of the Connecticut company and was started on the express line It was said that while he was an expe- rienced car operator, his service on the waIk-Bridgepor line was linn ited.
 Messenger George East has also been employed by the Connecticut never before figured in an accident.
 Harold Nadin, motorman, and Con ductor Sydney Cook have run out of the Norwalk barns for a number of years. They have been over the Nor wa1k-Bridgeport lines a number of times and were supposedly well ac- quainted with this territory.
 It was stated that the switch which the trolley car was supposed to have passed, was a new one, and it was declared by several, was not brought to the attention of the tro1leymen strongly enough. Several openly charged that the bulletin announcing the installation of the switch had not been posted.
 At the Bridgeport offices of the Con necticut company, it was stated that nothing was known in regard to this and The Farmer reporter was referred to the offices of the company in Nor walk for information.
 At first it was denied that any one connected with the department taking charge of this matter was there but later. it was said that no information regarding this question would be giv- en the newspapers.

MIME. CAILLAUX EXHAUSTED BY.
 LONG STRAIN

Paris July 23-Judge Louis AlbanePs court in the palace of justice, where Mime CaiIlaux, wife of the former pre- mier is undergoing trial for the mur- der on March I6, of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, was crowded when the fourth hearing started to- day. Many of the people had come to see Joseph CaiIlaux confronted, ac- cording to the practice of the French courts, with former Premier Louis Barthou, who had been subpoenaed as a witness.
 The testimony was to be concluded today with the evidence of M. Bar thou and of Mime. Bertha, Gueydan, the first wife of M. Caillaux, but, be- fore they were due to come to the sand, half dozen other witnesses of lesser importance were to testify.
 The arguments of Procurator-Gen- ton and of F'ernand Labori, counsel for the defense would, it was an- nounced, probably begin late in the day.
 Mime. CailIaux took her place in the prisoners enclosure punctually at noon. She carried in her right hand a little vial of smelling salts and a notebook.
 Ten minutes afterward, the red-rob- ed judges filed into court and an ex- pectant hush fell over the crowded masses in the courtroom
 Joseph Ca1lIaux and his friend, Pas- qua1e CecaIdi, had visited the prisoner in the conciergerie before the hearing began They found that the long strain was beginning to tell on her and that she felt exhausted and i'll burt she showed strong determination to face her ordeal with calmness.

 Many were thrown from the car, wien the crash came, and in an in stant, the joyous cries of many chil- dren and women who were aboard, were changed to cries of pain and fear.
 On board the special, an open car, No. 294, were more than eighty women and children, all members of the Old Point Mission of, this city. No men were aboard save the motorman and conductor. On board the express car were the rnotorman and messenger.

KEARNY MANS
KILLED WHILE AT
WORK IN FOUNDRY
Michael Rose Crushed Under
Heavy Casting in Polk
Street.

Michael Rose, of So Teppan street,
Kearny, fifty years old, was killed to-
day while at work in the iron foun-
dry of Maher & Flockhart, rs Polk
street, where he has been employed
for seven years. He was crushed be-
meath an 1,S5o-pound casting, which
fell from crane while directly over
his head. Louis Dickson, the fore
man, said that this was the first Sc
rious accident in the foundry during
the thirty years he has been in
charge.
Ii is the rule in the foundry, ao-
cording to the foreman, for every
man to pay attention when he hears
the clatter of the big crane as huge
pieces of iron are carried to different
parts of the establishment and each
employe is supposed to look out for
himself and get out from under when
he sees the crane travelling his way.
Rose, who was a "chipper," the
trade name for those who knock off
the rough edges of the castings, was
seated at his work this morning when
the crane started up. His partner,
Lawrence Kerrigan, got out of the
way, but Rose kept his place,
although the crane was travelling In
his direction. When the load was
directly over Roses head the chain
holding the casting. broke, and Rose
was crushed. Death was instan-
taneous.
Assistant County Physician Min
ningham, after viewing the body,
gave permission for its removal to

LATEST BRITISH REPORT
No Details of Naval Victory

BY the United Press.

BY the United Press.
LONDON, Dec. ia complete
sweep of the Atlantic of all German
commerce raiders by the first of the
year is the task now before the vic
torious feet of Vice Admiral Sir
Frederick Sturdee. It is confidently
believed in England that this will be
successfully accomplished.
AS the news of the victory off the
South American coast has come
piecemeal from the admiralty, all
England now awaits the official an
nouncement that the cruiser Dresden,
the last of Admiral Won Specs squad
rcn, has been sunk. The last report
of Vice Admiral Sturdee stated that
his ships were pursuing the Dresden.
With the fast cruisers at the COM
mand of the British naval leader,
the capture or sinking of the German
vessel is considered a certainty.
AS yet the people of Eng
land have not been informed
OF the vessels comprising Vice
Admiral Sturdees fleet. News
papers are demanding that the war
bureau announce the names Of the
warships which have contributed the
most important naval victory of the
wSr, avenged the Good Hope and
thN Monmouth, and removed the
greatest menace to shipping in Amer
ican waters.

Vice-Admiral Sturdee's last report

Naval experts declare that the
British fleet has now undoubtedly
spread out over a great area in the
region of the Falkland Islands and
by narrowing the circle about the
Straits of Magellan, toward which

Details Lacking.
Official details are as yet lacking,
but it is evident from the brief re-
ports that the German squadron scat
tered when the British fleet was
sighted, which accounted for the
long running fight of five hours and
the delay in the announcement that
the Eurnberg had been sent to the
bottom on the same day that the
Scharnhorst, Gneissau and Leipsig
We're sunk.
The Nurnberg, it is believed, was
run down by one Of the lighter
cruisers of Vice-Admiral Sturdees
fleet and probably sunk miles from
where the other three were sent to
the bottom. The Scharnhorst and
Gneissau evidently stood up and gave
battle to the speedy battle cruisers,
under the command of Vice-Admiral
Sturdee, and within five hours both
sank; the Scharnhorst carrying the
German fleet commander, Admiral
Won Spec, with her.
