-Iu order TO be prepared for rain,
we had just finished putting our cur

when an OF q sudden violent crash,
seemingly 90 lightning, struck just
behind the car. and 40 the same time
o. shower OF small and large haiistoues

"a high and heavy wind. and rain in

later. a large haiIstonc had struck the
top broken 90. and hit my son Lester
an awful blow on the back At the
same moment two large hailstones in
succession broke our entire windshield
into bits and others were coming fast
through the top Let's raise our
seats above our heads was the cry OF
Ben Horn. and both he and Lester
sheltered their heads in the rear seat
Mr Eochr and ] following their eX-
ample In front and only shifting 70

shield when hail changed 10 drench-
ing rain and wind which rocked the
car and which made us think what
would become of us should the ma
chine roll over.
In ten or fifteen minutes Il was
an over. and. after taking inventory.
wc found that. except FOR the damage
to the car and a few scratches by fall
ing glass. We were all safe. for which
we felt grateful. When we tell YOU
that the huilstones were as big as
haseballs and had horns on at that,
OF course you don't believe US. but we
took a picture OF the car after all was
over and put some on the hood, and.

with gasoline. Horn. who carries a .

ugly gashes in the mans head. After
that he again took his place among

went on for shelter-a pitiable sight.

 Each year since the consolidation of the customs districts an annual con- ference of the collectors of customs has been held at the Custom House in New York, which has been attended by the collectors or one of their depu- ties especially designated. Various recommendations are submitted to the Treasury Department which are sub- 5etced to critical examination by the experts in that department. Those recommendations that meet with the approval of the experts are submitted to the secretary of the treasury and if they met his approval, they are made part of the regulations. Several irn- portant recommendations were agreed upon at the conference held here to- day.

HOW MUCH SHOULD PHYSICIAN CHARGE
 FOR HIS SERVICES
This is Issue in Local Su- perior Court = Claim
 Made For $2,2OO.

Is $2,20O a reasonable fee for a physician to charge a patient? pr. Frederick Schavoir of Stamford de- clared in the superior court today that the fee was reasonable but Dr. s. H. Huntington, medical examiner of Norwalk, said it was unreasonable. The testimony was given during a nearing before Judge shumway on pr. B. Everett Rowe1Ps appeal from the commissioners on the estate of Jo- seph Aschauer- of New Canaan.
 After Aschauser died pr. Powell of Stamford put in bill against the estate for $2,2O0. The commission CTS refused to allow this but gave the physician $1,20O. He appealed from their ruling. Dr. Huntington said he thought $1,O0O to $1,20O might be a reasonable fee under the circum- stances and anything between that and $1,500 would be liberal. Any thing in excess of $1,50O would be unreasonable, he said.

 The strength of the Russian garri- son within the fortress has not been known in London.
 Another feature of the fighting on the eastern front is the new attack on Warsaw. Neither the Russian nor the British newspapers are able to say whether the renewed battering of the Russian lines between the Pill to break through to the Polish cap Russians from rushing reinforce ments to their hard pressed troops in Ga1icia. But whatever the motive, the assault has been violent and is in force along a front of about 25 miles, the hardest pressure being brought to bear on the Russians along the Bzura and the Rawlza riv- CTS.
 Today is the fftieth anniversary of the birth of King George, but be- cause of the war no especial celebra- tions are being held.
 The new government meets parlia- rnent for the first time today.

.PAPE TELLS WHY HE WROTE ABOUT
 SENATOR iPUSLEY'
Waterbury Editor, in Libel Suit, Denies He Was
 Taking Revenge.

Waterbury, June s.-Editor William J, Pape, who is on trial in the district court for criminal libel, under cross examination today explained why he called Senator Peasley "poor Pusley' and why he accused the senator of selling his soul and betraying his con stftuents for a political plum.
 Attorney L. J, Nickerson, who is prosecuting, is trying to prove that Editor Pape has been using his paper, the Republican, to take revenge on Senator Peas1ey because the latter was an officer in a court that found the editor guilty of contempt in 1912. Mr Pape, however, contends that the Republican was waging a campaign against alleged irregularities in the local city court and against the prac- tice of having Legislators appoint themselves to offices in the court.

 Bridgeport.

John Nolen, city pIanner, stopped off in Bridgeport today for a few hours and called on members of the city plan commission. MT. No1en is returning to Boston after six weeks in California and New Orleans.
 What do you think of the Strat- ford avenue bridge proposition with the site suggested by / the bridge comTnissi on ?'' he was asked.
 ''My thinking in that matter is over,'' said MT. No1en with a smile. 'I have made my suggestions and it is now up to the community to act. I am awaiting the city's action with a great deal of interest,"
 MT. Nolen said that the adoption of the bridge plan and site advocated by the bridge commission will mean the readjustment of large part of the work already accomplished by the city plan commission.
 Through The Farmer, MT. No1en again invited taxpayers to offer crit icisns and suggestions regarding the preliminary report of the city plan neCs. This would aid in the drafting of the final report and recommenda- tions, he said. MT. NoIen will return here later to aid in the making of that report.
