This car has been adapted by the
Harley Davidson Motor Company,
and they have placed quite a number
OF them throughout the South through
their numerous dealers.
The side car is one Of the greatest
additional pleasures to motorcyclists,
as 1t is very easily attached and de-
tached giving the owner practically
two machines. The present type of
twin motorcycle with two-speed at
tachment is the one most suited for
carrying the side car These motor
cycles develop eight horsepower,
which is sufficient, with the use of the
low speed. to ascend any hill with
even moro than the two regular occu-
pants. while the use Of the high gear
permits a varying speed OF from four

 During last weeks entire decline if lost only II points. American Smelt- ing, which also was exceptionally heavy owing to it's extensive interests in Mexico, jumped four points. Else where there were gains of i to 3 points.
 The advance was helped by an early upturn of American stocks in Lon don, but gains made there were far tfal upturn was followed by a reac- ton of 1-2 to 1 point. Mexican Pe- troleum fell back II points from it's earlier high price.

Vote Debt Or Take Large Increase Tn Tax
 Rate, Says Mayor

stIt is for the voters to say conti1l- ued the mayor, whether they will pay an increase of three mills on a dol lar to which the tax will be increased or whether they will pay less than tro-tenths of q mifNon each dollar by voting the bond issues. The proposed improv ements. for which it is intended to bond, are lasting Improvements ts and all necessities, F predict that.if it is not voted to bond for them, the tax list will be increased at least IF mills
 the high school. new bridges in East Washington avenue and Stratford. ave nue and pavement other than water bound 1nacadam, it is proposed to is- sue bonds to total $1, ,365; 900. The bonds are to run from 5 to 50 years.
 Tt is nothing to me whether the bonds are issued or not. and the bond ing plan is not 3 political proposition. Sooner or later the city must have these things and I think bonding the best way to distribute the cost The work can be done cheaper now. than at any other time and these improve ments if commenced will furnish eu- pIoyrnent to large number of our citizens who are now out of work
 ssThere are two ways of obtaining the money for improvements One is by direct taxation. and the other by bonding. T think bonding is the cas- jest way.
 The superior court has ordered the lefty to cease dumping sewage into the Pequonnock river, above Congress street bridge, on or before April 1916- It will cost at least s150, 900 to con- struct sewers on each side of the riv- CT
 The present grand list is $111, ,221, : 7o9 and to obtain the irnprovemen proposed hg direct taxation will re quire an increase in the present tax rate of at least 12 mills Many per- sons who own their own homes, Dor rowed the money with which to pay for them. They paid for them whIle enjoying the benefits of them and it is my idea we may do the same with thek public improvements
 Every rent payer as well as every taxpayer should be interested for if the tax is increased the rents will De |increased-'s
 s-The issuance of these bonds will in no way interfere or prevent the city from buying or taking any water, gas electric or or any other public service property that it is decided to buy. The state law says the city may not bond beyond per cent. of its net debt. At present the city is bonded for about 2 per cent of it's net debt and if adopted the proposed bond measure will put increase the debt to more than 3 per cent.

SOUR HASH CAUSES
 PRISONERS STRIKE
Inmates of Haddan Jail Re fuse to Work in Field
 spar Quarry.

Haddam. Conn.,. April 27-Hash for breakfast does not suit 20 of the 40 prisoners in the Haddam jail and they have struck against work in the county feldspar quarry. Sheriff Thompson has had the men locked up in their cells.
 The men say the hash served for breakfast is sour. ,. The sheriff says it is good, toothsorne hash and the men ought to get fat on 1t. He says that the men really do not want to work; that they expect to take things easily in jail; breaking stone is too 1aborous for them.
 The feIdspar quarry has been opened by the sheriff as a. money- making project for the county and as means of giving the prison CTS who are physically, able exercise to improve their health.
 In Windhan County, the sheriff puts his charges to farming with good results for the county. Sheriff Thomp- son says that, if MiddIesex county Of lenders do not like to work, they must keep out of the county jail.

RAIL WAYS FORECAST DEFAULT.
 OF ALL INTEREST

washington. April 27.-yoluminious briefs on behalf of the 35 eastern rail way systems were filed with the in- terstate commerce commission at the opening today of arguments in the rate case hearing. It is set forth that the purchasing power of money has so decreased in the last IS years that money now paid for freight charges is worth thirty per cent. less in the market for commodities than in 1896.
 The brief submitted by the general counsel of the carriers says:
 The railroads are still required to sell their services at rates of pay even less than those ablished years ago after competition had forced them to a low level and to take their pay in a must buy their labor. buy their ma teria1.s borrow their capital and pay thei rtaxes on the basis of present day commodity prices
 After presenting in detail the sit- uation as relating to different roads or groups of roads, the con slusions of the carriers are thus set forth:
 We have shown steady decline in the return on the money which has gone into the transportation plant.
 After increasing investment 11.74 per cent and gross revenues 15.0S per cent. there was no resultant increase in net operating income; on the con- alnSE0 WAS EGAl4XSd $1Os o11, z1 less net than was canned before the $65g.s2e,58S was added to the prop erty investment.' 7
 After reviewing the financial condt- ton of the great systems to show that the railroads as individual sys- tenas are not. earning an adequate return on the money invested in prop erty and equipment. the brief adds:
 1t is mistake to think that the problem is merely a question of divi- dends to railroad stockholders. The problem in a broad and true sense affects all interests and the outcome of this particular case ewhichever way 1t is decided-wili mark an epoch be- cause 1t will in effect very largely de- termine whether we shall as in the past, continue to look to private capi- transportation requirements or be com pelled finally to accept the only alter native possible
 sUnIes the railroads are permitted to increase their revenues by req sonable increase in the rates for transportation services so as to help meet the large and permanent in creasss in the cost of capital. wages taxes and other expenses, then if will be only a question of time when there will result not merely reduction or suspension of dividends but also in some at least, a default in the. payment of interest and other ob1iga- tions. E M Total suspension of dividends by all the railroads though 1t would pro- .duce a great panic, would not produce the amount of new capital reqnired.'s

WITH BROKEN BACK
DOES THE HIGH DIVE
Auto Plunges Over Bank Into 1o0-foot
Guleh-Man Done Up in Plaster Es-
capes Uninjured.

Tacoma, Wash, July 2.-After the
remarkable experience of plunging in
an automobile over an embankment in.
to a gulch 100 feet deep, William Pratt
is alive here today, in spite of the fact
that he was suffering from a broken
back at the time and had left the
Northern Pacific hospital but short
time before with his back in plaster
cast to take a ride. The machine was
wrecked, but Pratt s wife and two
young women escaped without injury,
Pratt received only few scratches,
but his daughter, Isabella, who was
driving the car, was hurt about the
back and suffered from shock.
The machine was ascending the Sixth
avenue hill and owing to the sharp in
cline Miss Pratt attempted to throw
the clutch into the low gear. Before
she could do so, however, she lost con-
troll and the automobile baeke- down
the hill, gaining momentum as it went.
Just across C street is a gulch over
100 feet in depth, and into this the
auto plunged. AS it struck the en-
bankment it turned over, sliding down
the sharp incline and throwing the oc-
cupants about half way down. To this
spill the party owes their lives, for
Immediately thereafter the machine
turned a somersault, landing at the
bottom of the gulch, completely
wrecked.
