Harold D. Lafayette of Broad street,

was taken to Bristol for interment.
Medical Examiner T. G. Wright of
New Britain completed his investi-
cation Of the case last evening and
gave the cause Of death as accidental
poisoning.
The child had been given a bottle

Lafayette had left the baby on the
kitchen floor playing with her new
toy while she attended to her duties

DENOUNCED ACT OF CHARITY
Butchers Of French Town Saw Damage
to Their Interests In Gift Of Phil
anthropist.

A little drama portraying the con-
fiict Of patriotism with private inter
ests is now In action. says Le Cri de
Paris. on a little island In the Seine,
opposite Maisons-Laffitte Monsieur
Leigh, well-known turfman. who un-
til recently has been an American, but
Is now a naturalized Frenchman.
rounding the cape of sixty years." has
been raising some fine pigs on his lit
tie island-handsome high-bred, black
porkers, which came to him by express
from the Ivory coast. Filled with the
eclat of patriotism and benevolence,
Monsieur Leigh said to the mayor OF
Maisons: Monsieur. you have public
souphouses for the unfortunate. will
give you for soup pig each week un-
til the end of hostilities."
A fine pig is worth from one hun
dred to one hundred and fifty francs,
and his was a handsome present, and
the donor was warmly thanked for his
generosity.
Then it was that the pork butchers
of the village intervened: "This ami
NAL" they said, that Leigh gives for
nothing, the mayor had bought, per
haps from us. Well cease to furnish
meats to that man Leigh. Well boy
colt the Leigh pigs"
M. Leigh came back at them. He
said to the drummer Of the village:
Announce everywhere that I will set
up a pork butcher myself In the mar
ket place, and will sell my pigs to the
public at 33 per cent less than these
envious fellows"
M. Leigh did as he said. Each mar
ket day there is a rush Of the popu-
lation to the stand of his pork butcher,
which has become the object Of gen.
eral favor. Following this the philan-
thropist has been receiving many let
ters, some of them threatening to burn
his stables. "And." says Le Cri. this
is how human nature recompenses one
who proposed to do good with his own
money"

E nforcing Auto Law.

Through the agency of map which
has been prepared in his department
showing how the different sections of
the State contributed to the moneys
collected for violations of the motor
vehicle act, Commissioner Job H. Lip
pincott draws the conclusion in state
ment issued on Friday that the en-
forcement of this law by local authori-
ties has been far from uniform
throughout the State. "The map
plainly indicates the parts of the
State in which there has been lax
ity of enforcement of the motor We
hicle act" he says, "and in some re-
spects those portions of the State in
which there has been possibly an un-
justly rigorous enforcement"
The fine moneys collected by the
local judges have been distributed in
the following manner by counties
Atlantic, $5,278; Bergen, 81 JAG; Bur-
hngton, 81; Camden, 2,163; Cape May,
@75; Cumberland, $127; Essex, $5,577;
Gloucester, $34; Hudson, 81 ,341; Hunt
erdon, $85; Mercer, 1927: Middlesex,
$614; Monmouth, $2,757; Morris, $735;
Ocean, STA; Passaic, $500; Salem, 500;
Somerset, $3.50; Sussex, $23; Union
1915; Warren, 1898.
In analysing these figures Commits
sioner Lippincott says: "In the. fol
lowing counties the enforcement OF the
motor vehicle act appears to be far
below what it should have been: Bur-
lington, Cape May, Cumberland, Salem
Somerset, Sussex, Warren, Gloucester
and Hunterdon.
There has been a fair enforcement
of the law in Hudson, Middlesex, Nor
ris, Passaic and Union. In the coun-
ties of Camden, Essex, Mercer, Mon
mouth, Bergen and Ocean there has
been reasonable strict compliance
with its enforcement, the Commission
er declares.
''The above classification" Mr.. Lip
pincott said, Indicates very plainly
that the department work for the com
ing year must be centralized in those
places where the local authorities dc
not appear to have been educated ur
to reasonable and uniform enforce.

Reverlv.

The funeral services of Edward and
Josephine Kimble, who died within
few hours of each other, were held at
their late home at the junction of the
Beverly and Bridgeboro roads on Thurs
day afternoon and were largely attended.
The services were in charge of the pastor
of the Beverly Baptist Church. The
pail bearers were all relatives of the de-
ceased couple, who were laid in one
grave at the Coopertown cemetery.
This is said to be the second time that
double funeral has occurred at Cooper
town within the past twenty-five years.
and, strange to say, the name OF the
other persons were also Kimble.
Four years before he died Edward
Kimble, the aged Coopertown farmer,
whose death last week led to the dis
covery of gold and bank notes hidden
| in his home, made elaborate prep
arations for his funeral, even to the
experimenting the digging of a double
grave for himself and wife, the en-
craving of the slabs and the payment
in advance of the men who should
bury him and seal his tomb. Kimble's
| directions for his burial were carried
out to the letter, except that the
death of his aged wife few hours be-
| fore his own made it double funeral.
The old farmer had a horror of the
idea of earth touching his coffin, and
! by his direction a mason prepared two
water-tight grave vaults in the Coop
ertown cemetery. To'be sure that the
work was properly done, Kimble sat
by his own graveside and directed the
workmen. The sudden death of his
son, Wesley, resulted in a slight
change of his plans, and the young
man was buried in the grave prepared
for his mother. With his son gone,
and believing that after he and his
wife had died there would be none to
care for their graves, Kimble COM
pleted all other arrangements for a
first-class funeral, except to engaging
the clergyman, leaving that to his exc
cutor, former Sheriff Andrew ]. Jor-
dan, paid the various men for the SER
vices they were to render and filed the
receipted bills among his legal papers.
In the will which former Sheriff Jor-
dan will offer for probate the old farm
er also provided for the sale of tract
of land, the proceeds to go to the di-
rectors of the cemetery to perpetually
keep in good condition all the lots and
grave-mounds in the ground.

COKE WORKERS
ON CREW LAWS
Believe Repeal Would Give
StIm0lOus to Trade
Revival
ConnelIsyille. Pa. Feb. 2

Discussion of the repeal of the
Pennsylvania and New Jersey Full
Crew Laws is daily growing warmer
here. 1t is foregone conclusion, ac-
eording to men who know what they
are talking about, that the wiping out
of these laws means greater activity
in the coke regions.
II is asserted that when the rail-
roads can apply the $2,000,000 now
paid annually to extra trainmen, for
whom the railroads have no need, to
making necessary improvements and
IN buying additional equipment, a per.
cepuble expansion of business is to
be expected, and this coming espe.
cially In the steel regions, would cause
more coke ovens to be fred.
1t is significant of the trend of pub.
lie opinion here that many who. a
few weeks ago, argued that the Full
Crew Laws were just, now are be.
ginning to take different view, and
1t is confidently predicted that. be.
cause of the heavy pressure now be.
ing brought to bear upon the members
of the legislature by the people, that
these laws soon must meet the fate
of a similar measure in Missouri,
which, submitted to popular vote, was
repealed by two to one majority.
