PROBE OF AUTO COLLISION
New London Prosecuting Attorney Calls in State Police
Aid-Wants to Secure All the Facts in Smash Between
Cars at Gallows Lane.

Prosecuting Attorney Daniel M.
Cronin Of New London has invoked
the aid OF the state police in unravel-
ing the accident of Sunday evening
when touring cars driven by william
U. Wheeler of Crescent Beach and
Francis Sullivan Of New London coll
lided on the Norwich road, at Galiows
lane. State Policemen Downing and
Wheeler have been assigned to the
case.
There 10 considerable contradictory
evidence and Prosecuting Attorney
Cronin wants to know the complete
facts before proceeding. At present the
information at hand gives the prose-
eutor no means of fixing the blame
firmly enough to warrant prosecution.
The state policemen will investigate
until all the circumstances are known.
Mr.. Wheeler and two small girls,
who were occupants of his car, were
at the police court Tuesday morning,
in response to notification from the
prosecuting attorney. Attorney Clay
ton B. Smith, who represents Mr..
Wheeler. was in court. The matter
was not brought before the court at
all as it is simply under investigation
Norwich bulletin., 1915-07-21

and no charge has been made against
anyone.
z Attorney Frank L. Mcclure has
been retained by Joseph Sullivan,
owner of the car, and brother Of
Francis Sullivan, who was driving 1t
at the time OF the accident. Sullivan
Is not considered at fault. His car,
was wrecked. He says the expense OF
rebuilding il makes II out Of the ques-
ton. It was being operated as taxi.
Sullivan carried no insurance so the
machine represents q total loss to him.
It is probable that he viii take steps
to recover from Wheeler. Any such
action will be delayed, pending the
outcome of this investigation.
Prosecuting Attorney Cronin talked
with Mr.. Wheeler and the members
Of his party after court They will
hold themselves in readiness for sum-
mons into court If the state police
men complete their investigation in
time, the matter may come before the
police court Wednesday morning.
Mrs Anna Beebe Baush, and
| Charles Lang, bartender at the Win
throp hotel, who were the occupants
of the Sullivan car. are resting COM
fortably at the Memorial hospital
They will not be able to leave the
J hospital for a few days.

DOUBLE CAPACITY OF
CONNECTICUT POWER co.
New Electric Generating Station to
be Erected at New London.

Plans are under way for the con-
struction of new electric generating
station and boiler plant for the Con-
necticut Power Co., in New London
which, it is understood will involve
an expenditure running well into six
figures and which will double the ca
pacity of the present plant Practical
ally all the buildings on the site will
be RACED and replaced by new struc-
lures.
The constantly increasing growth
of the electrical business of the COM
pany has rendered the coming en-
largement imperative. 1t will IN
doubtedly be possible for the company
to continue through this summer and
the coming winter with its present
equipment but for no longer a period,
since the growing demand for current
is rapidly overtaxing the limit circum-
stances.
Construction OF the new plant will
be commenced not later than the early
spring and will be rushed to compile
ton. presumably in season for the
summer business of another year.
When finished the plant will provide
for the electrical necessities of New
London for many years to come, with
full allowance for the growth in pop
ulation anticipated in the next dec
ade.

CHARGED WITH VIOLATION
OF FOOD LAW.
Dealers VIII Have to Explain to
Commissioner StadtmueIier.

For the next day or two Dairy and
Food Commissioners Frank H. Stadt-
mueller will be busy hearing what
dealers have to say relative to selling
syrups, butter extracts and other food
stuffs which the state alleges are not
up to the required standard for such
commodities. There are half a dozen
alleged violators of the food laws to
have hearing from the east and
western parts of the state.
1t has been called to the notice Of
the department that pure Vermont
butter is being sold at 2s to 80 cents
pound and an investigation shows,
it is said, that this so-called pure
article is nothing less than oleomar-
garine, selling under a false represent
tation. Whether the articles are inju-
rious to health is not the only question
with which the commissioner is con-
cerned The important question in
whether the people shall be sold one
thing when they are not distinctly in
formed that it is only a substitute for
that which they suppose they are
buying IF they want to eat oleo-
margarine, or other things, and know
what they are buying, let 'em eat it,"
said the commissioner, "only they

RECORD ATTENDANCE
Made by Thirteenth Coast Artillery
Command of Brooklyn.
AT FORT WRIGHT

When the Eight Coast Defence
command of the New York National
Guard. returning from camp at Fort
Wright, passed the Thirteenth Coast
Defence command, bound for camp.
in the Sound at noon Sunday, the
commands saluted according to the
rules OF nautical etiquette. The
Eighth was aboard a steamer char
tered from New York line and the
Thirteenth was on board the big
freighter Pequonnock of the New
England Steamship Co.
All attendance records Of the coast
artillery Of New York state have been
broken by the Thirteenth Coast ar
tilIery command of Brooklyn under
the leadership of Colonel Nathaniel
B. Thurston. Out of a total of 99S,
officers and men, on the organizations
rolls, 903 have reported for duty.
Every member of the field and staff
and on-commissioned staff is pres
emit, and only two out Of a total of "A
officers are absent. OF these Second
Lieutenant Richard Brown of the
Fifth Co., is sick, while Second Lieu
tenant Louis A. Barrett of the Elev-
enth Co. is absent without leave. The
percentage Of attendance is more than
80 1-2 per cent.
Up until last year the Thirteenth
had a reputation of taking not more
than so per cent of its total strength
to camp. Hence this years record of
more than 80 per cent, is phenom-
email and away above the average of
all organizations. Colonel Thurston
has now been in command of the
Thirteenth a little more than a year
His detail is supposed to be but tenn
porary, and it has lately been rumored
that he would have been satisfied to
return to his regular duties some
months ago but for his desire to do
another tour behind the big guns with
the Brooklyn organization.

Good Place to Catch Eels.

Fishers for cells are finding Riverside
on the Thames a most productive
place at the present time. Sunday
men caught cells there about as
fast as they could haul them.
The reason for the number of cells
at this point now is that government
1ightships have been hauled out re-
Gently at the Thames shipyard there.
These Hghtships are always covered
with mussels and when they are
brought in to the shipyard the cells
flock to them to feed on the shellfish.
Sometimes when these ships are
hauled on to the ways scores Of cells
will be seen hanging to the sides.
When the vessels get well out Of water
the cells drop off into the river.
The mussels that cling to the bot
tom and sides of some Of the ships
hauled out there are SO thick that
they practically blanket the hull.
From one vessel as many as "a cart
loads Of mussels have been taken.
Nearly 80 per cent Of the energy Of
the coal that is mined

Fourteen Months Old Child Falls Into
Tub of Water and Is Drowned-other
Notes of Interest.

While playing with apples in tub
three quarters full of water, Nicholas
Kooznich, the II months old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Stefan Kooznich, of Hig-
gins avenue. was drowned Tuesday
morning about 1890 O'Clock. when he
lost his balance and fell into the tub
and was unable to right himself.
Mrs. Kooznich and the child were out
in the yard and on entering the house
the mother left the child and had been
gone only 10 minutes when she noticed
the tots feet sticking out over the edge
of the tub, and its hands and head
submerged, and she rushed to the res
cue, but too late, as the child's face
had become discolored.
The PROSTATE mother screamed for
help, and her frantic yells were heard
by Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur E1lal, residing
at 103 Roosevelt avenue, who hurried
to the scene and made efforts to re-
suscitate the child, but their attempts
were useless.
Later DR.. Callahan was summoned,
who on his way stopped at the city
gas and electric Office and secured the
pulmotor. but it was of no use, as the
child was way beyond human help.
Word was sent to Medical Examiner
Rush w. Kimball, who responded and
learned the facts concerning the
drowning. The examiner warns moth
ers of small children to be very care
full when tubs Of water are around.
Undertaken eager was given permsi-
sion to remove the body.
