CHAIRMAN CLEAvES OF Maine
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSIONS
PROBING OLD ORCHARD ACCIDENT

tic avenue. for the crossing at Staples
street, for the Old Orchard street cross
ing. The bell is rung for these grade
crossings but cannot be heard more than
a dozen feet away when the train is
travelling ar high rate Of speed over
the crossings. Trains going west whistle
at Walnut street and do not whistle
again until Salt road is reached, which
is the next crossing beyond Union av-
enue.
Predict Change
1t is predicted that az result OF the
investigation a change will be made IN
the whistling restrictions here which VIII
allow the whistle to be sounded ~ ali
the crossings within this village.
An Old Orchard resident said Tuesday
that he was Of the opinion that the bos-
ton & Maine officials would not decide
that they could not. after the terrible
fatality of Saturday night, run trains
through here with simple ringing OF the
bell and that in short time engineers
would be ordered to sound whistles at
all the crossings.
Judge Cleaves questioned Engineer
Fan at some length Monday forenoon.
The engine man said he was five min
utes late and that the train was run
ming from 80 to 55 miles an hour at the
time it struck the automobile. He nrsI
noticed the machine on the track when
about 80 or 40 feet from Atlantic ave-
nue. crossing He did not have time to
sound the whistle but applied the
emergency and shut off steam, stop
ping the train as quickly as possible.
then hurried back and found the VIC
tins by the track. Engineer Fall also
said that he sounded the whistle at
Union avenue as is his custom
Conductor Woodcock testified to the
finding of the bodies and other de-
tails which were of no great import
ance.
Rear Brakeman Taylor told Of run
ming back after the train had stopped,
to flag the express as is customary. He
was one of the first to reach the scene
Of the accident and when ne came TO
the crossing found Chief OF Police
Elmer Robinson there.
Chairman Cleaves stated that he
had found, during his investigation, at
least u reliable people who nd heard
the whistle at Union avenue on Satur-
day night. He stated that until he had
conferred with the other members of
the board tomorrow, he could not pos
itively state whether a public hearing
would be held. If no further investi-
cation is made by the men, it is ex-
pected that a report will be made
within a few days, although he cannot
positively tell. He knows OF no other
| witnesses to be examined but if he
could find anyone who could give him
any more information in regard to
the accident, he will question that per-
son.

MORE BRITISH STEAMERS
TO PREVENT EMIGRATION
OF ABLE-BODIED MEN

London. Nov. 9.-The British govern
nent today took its first definite step
toward preventing emigration of able
bodied British subjects who in consider
able numbers have been using this means
of evading military service. New regu-
lation was issued by the home Office re-
curing subjects Of the United Kingdom
who are 10 years old or more and con
templating emigration, to apply at the
foreign Office for passports.
Since the refusal last Saturday OF the
Cunard Co to carry broad British sub
5ects eligible for military service, the
Anchor Line and the White Stan Line
have adopted an identical course. Other
lines are expected to follow with similar
action.

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-

cough, they need Immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the infamma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t drives out the cold, which
is the root of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process of the enfeebled membranes.

The recording of this coincidence re-

away everything in its path. From the

Mr.. Friedrich was at the factory Of
j. Estey & Co., where the S. A Smith
Mfg. Co. s plant on Frost street now
stands, when the flood suddenly poured
around the building. He got upon a
raft of boards, thinking TO escape by
this means. The raft was borne down
with the swift current and in view of
hundreds of persons was carried over
the dam and dashed upon the rocks
below. Mr.. Friedrich threw up his
arms as he went over the dam, and he
sank quickly from view in the boiling

children.

to be upon the river bank and, acct

cane finger ring which proved to be
that of Mr.. Friedrich. This led to the
recovery of Mr.. Friedrich g bones.

TOWNSHEND.
New Piano for the Seminary.

An opportunity has been secured of
the Estey Piano company to buy for
the use Of Leland and Gray seminary a
new piano of a standard make for $3.50.
Prof. G.. w. Powers has consulted the
trustees and all think it best to take
advantage of the offer if the money
can be raised. Contributions to the
amount Of over 800 already have been
given by trustees and students, Presi-
dent Henry D. Holton of Brattleboro
generously donating $50. The seminary
music teachers, Miss Mary Bane, vocal
and Miss Jessie Hawley, piano, OF
Brattleboro have promised benefit
recital.
The old piano, which has been in the
seminary many years, has seen its best
days. The students have gained SC
much benefit from musical instruction
the past few years that it seems wise
to add to the efficiency of the schoo
by the purchase of suitable instru
ment
