Secured for War Sufferers Through
Equal Franchise League.

One hundred yards of ticking and
100 spools of thread represent the sum
of numerous gifts of money and ma
terial collected in this town for the

of the heed that was paid to the ap-
peal.

Attorney Dunn moved that the de-
PENDANT be discharged on the ground
that the allegation in the complaint
was not sustained. He said thata ac-
cording to the testimony the machine
was not going so very fast, even If
not less Tiian twenty-five miles an
hour, as that speed is permitted by
state law 1t is unfortunate for
young Crosby that a fS-al accident hap
pened and he would make full atone
ment were that possible, and it is al
so a severe loss to the mother and
father of Iona Vaslet, therefore the
question of sympathy should be set
aside, and the young man released of
the serious charge of manslaughter.
1t has not been shown that Crosby did
not operate the automobile under the
law.
Town. Solicitor Agard strongly op-
posed the motion and did not mince
words in denunciation OF the action Of
Crosby, saying that he was fortunate
that the charge was not premediated
murdeErather than manslaughter. The
motion to dircharge was ordered.

panied by an elderly man named Pot
ter, Of Willimantic, testified that all
who were in waiting were in the mo-
tor bus except Mrs. Vaslet and her
three children. Witness sat in the
back seat and told Mrs. Vaslet that
perhaps she might get in on the other
side Of the car. The Naslets went
to the rear of the bus, and just then
an automobile flashed by. the mother
screamed and the women in the bus
seemed stunned. Witness said she
did not believe the automobile could
go any faster, 1t was travelling as
fast as any she had ever seen and IL
went fully 100 feet before It could be
stopped. Thoge in the motor bus were
all quiet people, there was no noise

Charles Henry Main, of Pawcatuct,
who was driving his automobile some
distance ahead Of the Crosby naehine,
testified that he passed the motor bus
at n rate of twelve miles an hour. and
very soon thereafter heard shouting
and stopped. He then backed his
auto to where the Crosby auto was
at a standstill and the child was IN
the roadway some forty feet beyond.
=. J. Aubrey, manager of the Mo-
hican store in Norwich, was among
those who waited at the Pleasant View
station for a trolley car to Watch Hill
and finally went to the motor bus.
He noticed Mrs. Vasler and her chill
dren and especially the girl Iona as
she was a remarkably beautiful child.
He assisted Mrs. Vaslet and her chill
dren across the street to the motor
bus ticking the little girl by the hand.
He did not see the automobile prior to
the accident, but looked from the bus
and saw the child in the road after
she had been struck. The motor bus
had been turned towards Watch Hill
and stopped beside the child. Mrs.
Vaslet was in a hysterical condition
and had a child in her arms The

ness said: Iona was within my reach
but could not get hold, she was
struck so quickly" Mrs. Vaslet said
she was in the roadway and in sight
OF the coming automobile, but that
she did not see it When II passed
and struck her child, she looked after
1t and II went twice the distance of
the court room before stopping. The
automobile returned, but IL seemed aft
er an awful long time.
The attorney considerably desisted
from further cross examination.
Or. Michael n. SeanIon, medical ex-
ar1iner and medical practitioner for
10 years, testified that ne viewed this
body of Iona Vasiet, soon after the
fatality and when the body had ar
rived at the home Of her parents in
Cross street. He found the right side
of the head crushed. the neck broken
and abrasions of the forehead and
right cheek. He said a considerable
amount Of force was required to pro-
duce these results. From investigation
made he was satisfied that the auto
mobile was going fast and that the
little girl was struck by the headlight.
There was no indication of wheel
passing over her and that the injuries
were due to the force of the blow,
and that the injuries received were the
cause of death.
In response to questions from At
torney Dunn DR.. Scanlon said no au-
topsy was made and that he made Of
fetal report of the death to the cor
oner. In the course of his ofTicial in
vestigation he testified he had talked
with Mrs. Vaslet, Mrs. Crosby, Miss
Martin, Mr.. and Mrs. Altman. Mrs
Kenney. Mr.. Park and Frank Ohlan
and perhaps others. He not only talk
ed with Crosby. the chauffeur, but ex-
amined the brakes and horn of the
car. Crosby showed him a dent in
the rim Of the headlight that was not
there when he took the car out that
morning.

PROPER CARE OF THE UDDER
Cold Cement Floor, Bruising, Sudden
ChilIs, ETC., Are Some OF Exter
nal Causes of Trouble.

Many good cows are lost to a use
full life on the dairy farm by the neg
lect of a little necessary care at
critical time. This is particularly true
of heifers and extra heavy mixers.
Sometimes it is true of mediocre cows
that have been fed too stimulating
foods for time prior to freshening,
writes l. B. Henderson in Farm, Stock
and Home Under normal conditions
the udder of the COW should not re-
quire special attention, but the far
Their we get from natural conditions
and the more we incline to forced pro-
duction the greater the likelihood of
trouble.
A cold cement floor, cold ground,
bruising of the udder, sudden chills,
etc., are some of the external causes
of udder trouble. The preventive rem
edies can be easily applied But should
the udder become congested or in
famed just before or after calving,
effect a cure Fomentations with. hot
water several times a day, gentle
massage with the fingers, and the ap-
plication of warm lard will help to
alleviate the trouble. The rubbing
should be toward the milk veins so as
to get the blood away from the udder
if possible. A dram or two Of salt
peter once or twice daily is also said
to assist. In very severe cases, of
course, the veterinary should be
called, as it is poor economy to risk
the life of usefulness of a good pro-
Queer. For mild cases of udder trouble
the average dairyman should be COM
petent to treat and with a little obser-
walton it should be possible to develop
a little skill in treating such troubles.
