NO ONE IS BLAMED
 FOR AUTO TRAGEDY


 New EIav en, Oct. 29-No criminal responsibility attaches to anyone for 6ae death of Rdrs. Eliza Lodge, wife of Jamesz Lodge, of Derby, at Seymour last Sunday, according to the finding of Coroner Mix. filed yesterday.
 Mrs. Lodge was on her way home with MT and Mrs. James Dermody of Derby, in an automobile driven by Dermody when, in avoiding collision with a standing trolley car. he ran his machine into a fence. He came unexpectedly upon the trolley car just after passing an automobile which had been running ahead of him. Mrs. Lodge, who was sitting on the rear seat Of the machine, was thrown for ward striking her head against the front seat and suffering fracture of the skull from which she died, In a few moments.
 The coroner, after describing condf- tions at the scene of the accident and which he finds Derpaody was familiar with, says:
 .tWhile am of the opinion that said death was not caused by the criminal act, omission of carelessness of said Dermody, I find that he was driving said motor vehicle at fast arte of speed as he passed said motor which was ahead of him and that he did not observe the cafe and caution which was required of him in view of the conditions which existed in said 1ocaldty.''

DOVE OF PEACE IS NESTING STRANGELY
 IN RINCK HOME
Her Husband a German Re- serVist, Woman's Brothers Are In Allied Armies.

Though brothers fight in the armies of the allies along the German bor- der=1ine, and a husband awaits his call as g. German reservist to rally to the support of the F,atherland, there is no friction in the home of Mrs. Paul A. Rinck, 54 Washington terrace to- day, for. at a home gathering last night in which several families of English and German descent lpartici- pated news and pictures from the front were avidIy devoured with perfect neu- trality
 Word of the meeting brought to the office of thes Bridgeport Evening Farm CT today took a staff reporter to the scene. In the lower section of the home lives MT. Paul Rdnck and fam fly, who is assistant steward at the hotel Stratfe1d, while in the rent above Otto M Rinck, the head waiter of that esttblishIneIlt, lives with his family. While both men are of German ex- traction and Paul long since has been accepted as a reservist of the German empire, both wives are from the Brit ish Isles.
 When seen today Mrs Rinck show ed with pleasure the missives she had received from England including news lthat all the lights in Portsmouth and Brighton, England, her native town, are extinguished at night, and that o1S S0A4oo1S' -Ac1s 2 'e01i ee1A AAe11 iAHeo hospitals where the English and Ger man prisoners alike are cared for by tender English hands.
 Mir. and Mrs. Rinck were married 12 years ago in England, and came to this city over a year ago. Their views upon the sEbject of war are uniform, and both express the great est sorrow that three great nations should have become en1broi1ed While the battle is between two nations ach side of the family is agreed that fl should not extend to individuals al peace.
 That Germany is not near the end
 of her resources in the valiant figh she is making against great odds, is demonstrated by the fact that reserv. ists in this country are not yet need ed according to asdvices recently. re ceived from the German consulate if this country by MT Rinck.

TF1EN...... and. NOW

To-day while steam propells nearly all of the 2,800 or more Warships of the worlds navies, already new forms of propulsive power are being adopt ed, such as tnternal-conbustio gas- engines and various forms of motors; while electric motors already are be- ing experimented with and have been installed on one American naval col Her.. Probably the horsepower of the Demologos was not as great as that which propels a naval launch that is swung aboard a modern war ship. Against her speed of a little more than six miles an hour, there are warships to-day that attain a speed of thirty knots and hour and more. War vessels that could store the Demologos on their decks have made sustained voyages of between seven and eight thousand. miles with out re-coaling, thus disproving the mathematical demonstration of Dio- nysius Lardner, who sought to prove by egures in the young days of steam that no ship could ever carry enough coal to feed her engines while cross 1 ing the Atlantic.

Nelson S. Shaw of N686 Broad street was before the claims committee of the common council last night with a bill of sZ2.5O assessed against him by the city for connecting with new pipe from the water main, the prem ises at 1577 Stratford avenue. MT. Shaw told the committee that an ad- joining property owner in the street had six similar jobs done for a total cost of SIS. He thought $s would be a good price for the work.
 He said he had taken the bill to Director of Public Works Courtade and had later seen Mayor Wilson about it and the mayor had advised him to pay the bill quietly. The com 1nittee. decided that MT. Shaw need pay but $14. After the meeting MT. Shaw said:
 There are dozens of other prop erty owners in Stratford avenue who got stung as badly as I did. If they were not timid they would be here. still feel that I am paying a lot more than ought to although the commit tee has reduced my bill $8.50.''

r One hundred years ago to-day the worlds first, steam war vessel, the Demo1ogos, afterwards rechristened the Fulton in honor of it's constructor, was launched from a privately owned shipyard the New York bank of the East River. It's construct on had been inspired from the war of 1912. Not much longer than the modern excursion boat, measuring in length 167 feet, and built of wood, the ves- seI slipped her moor1ngs on Sune 1, 1915, and proceeded into New York Bay under her own steam upon her maiden voyage On the Fourth of July she again ventured to sea for g. speed trial, sailing 33 miles in e.ght and half hours. This pioneer ves- sel of modern navies never received her baptism of re- peace having been declared before the Demologos was ready for battle, but she proved an instrument of destruction when her boilers exploded while she lay in the Brooklyn Navy Yard on June 4, 1929 destroying. the vessel and killing 26 persons
