TO REDUCE COST OF
 "GOING TO LAW''
Court Where People May Plead Their Own Cases to Be Established
 in Chicago.

Chicago. Jan. IA court of con- venience-a court without lawyers where the people may plead their own cases-will be esta blished here late in January as a branch of the municipal court, Chief Justice Harry Olson an- nounced today. It's aim will be to sim- plify justice and reduce the cost of going to law.
 "The object of the new court will be to make litigation less expensive" !" Judge Olson said. No lawyers will be needed to obtain justice. The com claimant will present his own case and the defendant will voice his own de- fense.
 "Technicalites will be eliminated from decisions and much injustice may be averted. Under the present system, both parties are obliged to re- tain lawyers
 The court will at first consider cases in which amounts less than $50 are involved Later it's scope will he broadened when other branches are stablished.

 Here's your change said the ticket agent this morning as he showed s2.5S over the board at the ticket window to a 'seedy looking" fellow who had asked for a pasteboard to Moo York The latter's face was blank as he carefully counted the sheckles in the palm of his hand and espied three pennies hiding be- meath nickel. Hey? Whats this?" he queried as he held out the coin so as to give the ticket seller a square view of it. "Yocre twenty-two cents short, I guess. I asked for a ticket to New York, not Washington"
 After some time, he who sat be- hind the pile, of tickets of ever-in- creasing value, succeeded in convinc- ing the traveller that the road had boosted the rates again and that he was not "kiddin' y

Some of those who have occasion to travel to New Britain on the dinky frequently, bought several tickets in advance yesterday, realizing a profit of two cents on each, as beginning today the company will charge seven cents instead of five for the transpor- tation of passenger to the Hardware City, To East Berlin the fare will 1 be eleven cents and to Middletown twenty-four. Persons possessing commutation tickets will not be af- 1 fected by the change in rates. It would be incorrect to state that the rates will be raised one-Quarter 1 of a cent, for the road officials are responsible for the interpretation of the increase that it simply means 1 readjustment of the mileage of two 1 to two and a half cents a mile.

Passenger Rates Go Up on Local
 Lines of New Haven RoaI Today < Trinity Glee and Mandolin Club
 Coming Here January 15.

Raymond Billian thirteen-years- old schoolboy, lies at the home of his parents, MT. and Mrs. Fred Billian of P kensington, with a compound fracture of his right leg which he received in a peculiar accident on an automobile truck Monday afternoon. Although his condition is very serious. pr. Clifton Cooley of New Britain. who is attend ing him, states that his chances of recovery are bright and that there was n marked improvement in his condi- tion today.
 With a number of other children of the neighborhood, Raymond spent Monday afternoon coasting on Hook er's hill, near his home. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a heavy au- tonobile truck belonging to the Eaton Brothers Feed company of Plainville began ascending the grade and num- er of the youthful coasters, seeing an ' opportunity to be carried up the hill, leaped upon the tailboard of the ve- hicle. Raymond attempted to get on board but, there was no room for him in the rear, he jumped onto the , hub of one of the rear wheels. This being square in shape, it made but poor footing for the lad and, as it turned. his right foot slipped and shot in between the spokes. The at tention of the chauffeur was attracted . by the cries of the children and he brought the truck to a quick stop, probably saving the youngsters life.
 The boy was quickly carried into his home and surgical assistance sum moned. It was found that the large bone of his leg had been broken in two places, one of the fractures being ; just above the ankle and the other 1, just below the knee; that there was a fracture of the smaller bone of the same leg about half way EetWeen the knee and ankle and also . break in one of the bones of his ankle for nation. The lad bore up under the ' terrible pain with great courage
 Owing to the inflammation the doc tors found 1t inadvisable to place the leg in a plaster cast after the bones were set and this has not yet been done.
 Raymond is a pupil in the sixth grade of the Rockwell school in New Britain and is an unusually bright boy. His many playmates were thrown into gloom by the unfortunate accident
