The question of what constitutes lettering in a saloon was argued be- fore the supreme court of errors this morning when the case of the State of Connecticut against Thomas Tobfa. who keeps saloon at B Middle street, came up for consideration. To- bin appealed from a common pleas court decision fning him $1Oo and costs for allowing women to loiter about his place. Attorney J. c. Cham berlain contendeds that policemen merely testified they had seen women passing in and out of the resort. He did not think this constituted Ioiter- ing Prosecutor Huxford of the common pleas court claimed other strong testimony on this point had been introduced.

Unusual Facts Indicate That City's Street Lighting Is
 At Fault.

Unusual incidents in the death of John Shepherd, a painter living at 29 acoheld avenue who was ground to pieces hy a Connecticut Company s car Thursday night at the corner of Fairf1e1ds avenue and Hanson street, has caused a double inquiry by the coroner and the Public Utilities Com mission As a result it may be found that the street lighting of Bridgeport is inefncient for the protection of hu- man life.
 Inquiry by Coroner John J. Phelan. who made a personal tour of the scene yesterday and who is today hold ing an official inquest into Shepherd s death, discIoses that the car was be- ing operated at a slow speed, the mo- tornan, Nathan BIankheld, 759 State street, was properly protected from the rear lights of the car and acted with precision and humanity upon learning of the accident. yet under the direct rays of city's arc light was unable to distinguish the body of Shepherd
 Several witnesses appeared before the joint inquiry and were closely questioned by Coroner Phe4an and Chief Engineer J. F. Trumbun of the Public Utilities Commission.
 Y Blankfie1d in telling his story show ed good memory as to his stops and starts on the fatal trip, and though having but two weeks experience with the company, and three days actual service as a motorrnan without super vision, showed Engineer TrumbulI that he was well versed in the operation of cars.
 I could see everything ahead of me, even the ties; there was an arc light lit at the point of accident: my own ordinary headlight for city use was lit. and was not turned away from the front or talking with any body yet I did not see Shepherd until heard my conductor shout that we had shut off power and saw the man with his legs cut off. I ran to the nearest telephone for aid.''
 Other witnesses introduced in behalf Of the Shepherd family through c. H. Cassidy, a son-in-laLw of the deceased, were inclined to believe that through care1essness of the motorman the car had been backed up so as%o twice run the rear trucks over the victim. It was shown by close examination of the witnesses that the brakes had been set carefully before B1ankfieId ran for medical assistance but that the car had slipped backwards but not over the body before the car was again Stopped by the application of addi- tfonal air,
 Medical Examiner s. M. Gar1ick' s report is awaited with interest to de- fsrHine whether Shepherd was dead 9r alive when the car passed over his body. Though several witnesses de- Clare that the man made no sound in dzcatiHa consciousness or life, Joseph Clark, 8 ball player Of ths Locono- |

impress his coreligionists with it's
sublime character. His rationalizing
tendency is also seen in many Of his
decisions whenever he had to choose
between conflicting legal authori-
ties.
This work was followed by an
other equally great and valuable for
the time in which it was produced,
his "Moreh Nevuchim," Guide of the
Perplexed a rational Interpretation
of Israel's religious doctrines in the
light of the Aristotelian philosophy
as then known and cultivated among
the Arabs. His respect and venera
ton of Aristotle was second only to
that which he felt for Moses, the
greatest of prophets. To his mind
there was no conflict whatever be-
tween the teachings Of the greatest
Greek thinker and .hCse of the great
Jewish lawgiver Whatever seemed
to be incongruous with phllosophlc
thought Maimonides easily eN-
planned away. 1t is needless to say
that in some of his rational theo-
logical ideas he was far ahead Of his
time. Yet there were many learned
men and thinkers among the Jews
of that time to whom the Guide was
a veritab1e revelation. Nor was it
without influence on the develop
ment of Christian scholastic philoso-
ply, for the book, originally written
in Arabic, was soon translated into
