MUCH DEPENDS ON
A BLUE R. R. FLAG
On Whether it Was There to Give
Warning Hangs Prospects of
Verdict in Case.
BIG $4,000 DAMAGE SUIT

A $4,000 damage salt brought
br Mrs. Elizabeth Mccoy against the
Missouri Pacific railroad in federal
court as the result of the death Of
fer son, hinges almost entirely on
the presence or absence of blue
flag. Elaborate charts and photo
graphs Of tracks and boxcars have
been put on exhibition.
The accident occurred in the Missouri
Pacific switching yards. and 1t is alleged
by the plaintiff that the switching ere "
kicked in a car on to the transfer
track and against a string Of cars on
which Mccoy was working with such
force that it threw him from the car
and under the wheels.
When working on cars a blue flag Is
placed at each end OF the cars, this
being a signal to switching crews that
men are working on or under them and
they must not be moved.
II Ia alleged by the defense that when
the accident occurred the blue flag was
not displayed at the end OF the string
OF cars on which Mccoy was working.

TROLLEYMEN SILENT
 REGARDING MEETING
TramWay Company's Employees Gather to Talk Wage Increase
AWAIT ACTION ON PETITION

pC4"OS' ID Auiucu DOWn-
 "White .Slaver'' Asks for Pardon
 Profits on Fair Over $50.
 Motormen and conductors on the Bristol and Plainville Tramway com- panys lines declined to talk today concerning the secret meeting held last evening when the petition for a further increase in wages recently filed with the board of directors is said to have been discussed. Other than to admit that the wage oues- tion was considered the trolleyn,en would not offer any information as to what took place at the session. It was reported, however, that nothing occurred at the gathering to indicate that the men have any intention of going on strike should the company turn down their request.
 Action on the petition has not as yet been taken by the directors, &C., cording to the employees. At least the men have received no reply from the officials and they assume that nothing has as yet been done regarding it.
 Following a voluntary increase in wages recently made by the company the men submitted a petition for an additional raise. They want the scale made from twenty-five to thirty cents an hour instead of twenty-four to twenty nine. Besides they have asked for ten cents an hour extra for over time.
 While they are dissatisfied with the new scale, the men admit that their petition Is not in the nature of an ultimatum and should the company see fit to reject it there will be no trouble. The company is now paying higher wages to it's conductors and motormen than men similarly en- ployed on other lines are receiving. Most of the men have been with the company for many years and good feeling exists between the manage ment and the employees.
 Some of the men claim to be satis- fie6 with the pay they are receiving, although they would not object to a raise.
 Officers of the company declare they are willing to put in force the same scale operative on the Connecticut company's lines, twenty-two to twenty-eight and one-haf cents an hour with extra pay for overtime. As the men have to work extra hours but seldom, they figure that this would in reality be a reduction in pay and they are not in favor of it's substltu-

 So wrote Tennyson years ago, and Felix Venture of Kensington believes } the same way, for he has decided to sGe his wife, Mary Venture, for di- vorce on the grounds of infidelity. The troubles of the Ventures have been in the limelight for a number of years and reached. their continuation two weeks ago when Judge George Griswold found James Perrette; the well known Kensington cobbler, gull ty of theft of household goods be- longing to Venture.
 Perrette was a boarder in the Ven- tlro home until six months ago. Evi- dently there was something wrong be- cause Felix ordered him to take his belongings and depart from his do- micile. After that it was an open se- crat about town that Mrs. Venture off, ten visited the cobbler in his shop. The climax came a month ago when Venture had Perrette arrested, charged with stealing household goods. Perrette claimed the goods were left in his shop by the woman and Judgc Griswold gave him two weeks to pro- duce Mrs. Ventura, she having left 1 town. The cobbler could not or would not get the woman to return so the judge found him guilty and assessed q fine of $7 and costs The coSbler appealed and is at present out on bonds. The husband said this morning he l was determined to secure Q divorce from his life on the grounds of de- 1 sertion in the past but is absolutely through with her now, he says.

and fill freight cars with the

such a statement as representative
of the One who came mot to de-

Nothing is more anti-Christian
than to spread the doctrine of hate
And it must be admitted that quite
recently religious bigotry in
America has developed to a degree
that is comparable only with the
blood-lust of the worst of the Mid
die Ages. "To hell with the
Turk" cried Sunday. The hor-
rible slogan carries us back to the
grewsome barbarities of the Cru
sades. Consigning evolutionists
and higher critics to everlasting
perdition-among them men like
Henry Ward Beecher, Henry
Drummond, George Adam Smith,
and Phillips Brooks-does not
smack of Christian charity. To
infame the evangelical denomina-
tions, with damnatory clauses that
make the Athanasian creed pale
into weakness, against Unitarians,
Universalists and Christian Scien-
