DIRECTS BUILDING OF
 LORDS POINT BRIDGE
Utilities Commission Reached Decision
 at Hearing in New London.


 At an adjourned hearing given by the public utilities commission in the union station at New London Thursday af ternoon in the matter of the construc ton of a highway bridge over the tracks of the New Haven road at missioners ordered the building of an overhead bridge in accordance with plans prepared by the railroad engi- neers, which were acceptable to the town counsel, Attorney Frank N. Hinckley, and the selectmen.
 Another design had been prepared by Civil Engineer George K. Crandall, acting for the town of Stonington, which differed from the railroad plan chiefly in the construction of the abut- ment on the south side. In MT. Gran dalrs plan heavy masonry was speci- fled. Engineer Spencer of the New Haven road stated that according to his estimate the towns plan would in volve an additional cost of $2,500 to $3,000. He estimated that the bridge allure of about $13,G00. Instead of ma sorry, Engineer Spencer substituted a skeleton steel pier. The bridge is sim liar to that at Groton Long Point.
 Counsel for the New Haven called attention to the division of the cost of building the structure between the railroad company and the town. The statutes explicitly provide that each shall pay one-half the cost of a rail- road crossing" but question has now arisen and is to be tried out as to whether the term crossing includes any part of a bridge and it's approach es not within the company's right of way.
 The construction of the Lords Point bridge will proceed as rapidly as pos sihle and the railroad company will order the steel at once. It is hoped to have it finished in time for summer travel. The question of dividing the cost will not interfere with the com mencement of work, but will be adjudi- cated later.

DRESSY HATS NOTED.
Fashicn Providing For Social Affairs
 During the Coming Season-Buying at the Openings.

In dictating the fashions in head wear this season, the leaders have not forgotten the many smart affairs dur ing the coming few months when dressy hats will be required.
 One of the models in the forefront at the openings yesterday was a pie ture hat in natural Leghorn, always so graceful and dressy, lending itself so effectively otrimmings distinctive- ly summerish. The one noticed had a facing of sea-shell Georgette crepe, and was adorned with three large French roses. Belgian blue faille rib bon was about the crown and formed the charming streaners always asso- ciated with hat of this pattern.
 Very striking was an old rose poke in barnyard braid, trimmed with clusters of grapes at the front. A large bow of sand -colored ribbon with streamers and more grapes formed the back trimming. A rich Chantilly lace veil was worn with this elegant model.
 The shepherdess shape holds its own and is displayed this season in sand Milan braid, having a facing of Per sian net, side brim and side crown of the Persian net. Knots of roses and realistic bIacl1berries are poised at the front and back. There is a Frenchy touch, in the narrow black velvet ribbon band and streamers.
 A hat which caught attention quick ly was a bronze sailor of hemp Its odd set iii crown was of the fashionable basket-weave, in blue ribbon and turned back in a smart way and bound with the bronze braid. A plating of Belgian blue ribbon was on the brin and for finish there was a knot of flowers and plaited ribbon.
 Transparent hats are greatly liked. One which was an excellent exponent of the seasons modes was a broad brimmed, flat shape in Georgette crepe A yelled wreath on the lower brim showed through on both sides One large rose was poised at the front. Baby ribbon in black was about the crown and finished with streamers and knotted ends.
 A particularly good model was a Rembrandt sailor in black Milan, hav- ing wreath of fruit covered with cream chiffon on the brim. This model was set off with a large bow of black velvet ribbon.
 Exceedingly summery looking was 8 novel model, Chin Chin turban made from a white plateau, it's trimming pearl-studded lace and a wreath o1 Sea green velvet ribbon was TUT through these made flowers and there was touch of black where the ribbon l ends finished the hat at the back. Daily the designers are adding choice models to the displays on view their hats, so as to have the cuI from the unbroken stocks of offerings direct from the workshops.
 To choose TOW is the policy of the l wise woman who likes things diff | ferent!

SALLY FANNY DESCRIBES A
NIGHT OF TERROR.
She Says "Jack SnOred SWeetIy."

OkaG gays S0CN SAkOESU SVs$SUys
BEFORE Slaton had begun to act as trial
l. Judge and traverse jury for his client,
Leo Frank, he felt around to gauge public
sentiment, and he confidently whispered
that he inclined to communication.
These hints didn't take at all, and he then
had to act out the comedy Of laboriously 60
ing over the evidence with that legal lum-
mary, Jess Perry who probably was fell
low passenger with Slaton in his rides up
and down the elevator at Franks factory
After the honeymoon trip had reached
New York, Jack introduced the tenderly
sentimental element into the communication.
He stated in substance, that he and Jess
Perry sat up Of nights porting over the
record, painfully doing the most conscienti-
Gus Jury duty, without meat or drink, water
and candle-ight excepted.
This was hard on Jess, and the State
ought to pay him something extra for his
loss of sleep, because when the Law gave
the Governor Private Secretary, it was not
contemplated that he and the Governor
should act as a panel of two jurors, and de-
vote sleepless nights to trying murder cases.
Slaton also stated that the long and lonely
vigils held by himself and Jess Perry failed
to bring the wisdom which clears the track,
and that in his mental agony he turned to
his wife and said, in effect
''Sally, the jury is hung. Jess and I have
our doubts, and we do not know what to do"
Whereupon, as Slaton told the joyous New
York reporters, Sally Fanny flung her arms
around the neck of her troubled Jack, and
persuasively said
Jack, let's commute"
This was at 3 o'clock of Sunday morn
ing Gas Slaton told the glad reporters), and
all the rich Jews who had celebrated the
communication at Franks house, the evening
before, were abed, sleeping it off.

Duluth, Jack had exhausted his vocabulary,
and Sally was doing all the. talking.
Need | say, she did it well?
Her vivid description of her cool intrepid
ity on the night that Jack war-zoned him
self, and put electricity in his barbed wire
fence; as we'll as her picture of the dare
devil reckessness of Jack, reminds me Of
the 10-cent red-back novels [ used to read
when | was clerhlng for Dosh Massengale,
and selling a spool of thread every day
or so.
AS I perused Sallies narrative of that
dreadful night of war-zone, spiked helmets,
skull1ng ruffians, and fixed bayonets, could
almost hear the Indians raising the war
whoop.
You couldn't understand it, unless I
quoted some Of it. and therefore I will copy
some portions of it from the Duluth Herazd
OF July 90, 1915:
Monday there was a great deal Of bowling
and banging but we felt they only an I'M
organized crowd of ruffians Friday however
they were quiet. They stole stealthy about the
grounds. We could see them skulking in the
woods back of the house, and knew they
meant business. We knew they wanted to kill
my husband, and that it would be more of an
achievement TO them to kill him Governor
than as citizen. 1t his last night as Gov
ernor, SO it was their last chance
four Of them-not tc stay at the house that
night
II burned those notes UP and said not2-
ing about them to anyone but I stuck to my post
as woman always sticks when there is real
danger.
"The thing that troubled me most was that
my husband was careless about leaving his
revolver about. He was never afraid, and though
he was supposed to have his gun with him. half
the time he would leave it on the piano or under
his pillow
Here was a fine scorn of danger, on Jacks
part Sl1ulking savages stealthilv stealing
IN the woods at the back of the house. and
his pistol scattered around on the piano or
under the pillow!
SALLiE FANNY SPENDS THE NIGHT GIVING
JACK HIS PISTOL.
81 knew the soldiers were all about guarding
the house, but couldn't feel sure that some mad
man wouldn't break through the line some w2y
and make his way into the house 1 spent nv
time going around after him, picking mp his
VolVer and handing it to him. I would carry it
point downward hidden in the folds of my skirt,
SO as not to excite the household by the sight Of it.
This picture almost makes me cry.
The callous insensbility of Jack to his
accomplishing perils, and the sustained but
Cnencouraged efforts Of Sallie to keep his
pistol where he could shoot rufians with it.
was exceedingly reprehensible.
THE SERGEANT SPEAKS IN A LOW, STERN
VOICE.
:
The Duluth Herazd's story continues:
con Friday night the Governors sister came
over to spend the night She had been informed
of the plot, and she purposed to be hand too
I sat in my room writing letters until about II
o'clock. I had just begun to undress when
heard the Sergeant downstairs speaking at the
telephone About 5OO?' I heard him say i'm a
low, stern voice About 1 o'clock? All rieht
let me know if you can send out any more men
LOTT
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-08-05
Sallie proceeds:

'sAbout 2 o'clock heard cries: Who goes
there?' Then shouts: Where's Jack Staten?
We want to see Jack Slaton.' Then shots I
heard the Governor steal to the window aa;l look
o.st. Then he went back to bed After while
the noise outside stopped. Soon ho was snoring
again.
Here's an indomitable sleeper for vou!
Savages skulking all around, and clamor-
ing for him; soldiers garrisoning the war
zone, officers using his telephone iii low,
stern voices, ordering up 500 more troops;
shots ringing out, two hours after midnight;
and the threatened individual 50 impervious
to fear that he stubbornly persists in snoring,
as imperturbably as though there were no
such things as mobs, war-zones, machine
guns, and Adjutant Generals
And he has sat for his picture, to be used
IN the Hearst -Selig movies, SO that the hui
man race will become familiar with his
face!
What pity there is not graphophone
record Of that sweet snore which his wife is
so justly proud Of!
Couldn't Mr.. Hearst prevail upon Jack
Slaton to snore some, for the Movies?
They might picture Jack sleeping in his
blue silk Pottawatomies, and snoring sweetly
while guns 90 off around his house, and the
Sergeant, in low, stern voice, orders up 500
more troops
A war-zone picture with a slumbering
Governor in the midst, ought to have great
run.
Maybe, old Sig Montag, and Isaac Haas
would take stock in it.
