Boston Mourns DR.. Pearson.
"The death of DR.. f. S. Pearson, who
lost his life on the Lusitania, leaves
"a big vacancy" says a Boston finan-
cial journal, and further:
'sWho will succeed Pearson? is
question that is on the lips of many
persons in the financial district Active
in many parts of the world he was
responsible for many big electrical pro-
jects into which chiefly British money
found its way
Owing to the unsettled state of af-
fairs in Mexico, where a number of
Pearson companies were operating, and
the inability to raise funds for COM
pleting plans that were originated in
Spain, it is generally conceded that
a difficult task lies ahead of the man
who undertakes to be his successor.
These enterprises involved the expen-
diture of $4,000, 600 Companies known
as Pearson organizations and located
chiefly in Mexico and South American
countries have a total capitalization
Of more than $150,00O 900.
DR.. Pearson, who lived here as a
boy and whose career has always been
followed with a great deal of inter
est, got his start in Boston with the
identification of the street railway
lines of that city.

RlTUMINoUs COAL
To Be Used in Heating High School
the Coming Winter.

Members of the town school COM
mittee's special committee to investi-
gate as to the ability Of the town to
secure coal for the schools of Kill
lingly, about $50 tons. for next fall and
winter, at wholesale prices have in
vited the dealers in Danielson and
Dayville to submit bids, which are to
be sent in during the present month.
Other bids are also to be secured.
1t is proposed during the coming
year to burn bftuminous coal at the
high school building, where there is
a tubular return boiler well suited to
the use of this kind Of coal. which, it
is expected, Will reduce by approx
mately one-half the cost of heating
the structure as compared with the
cost when anthracite coal is used, as
has been the rule in the past. 1t is
not probable, however, that soft coal
will be used in other school buildings
of the town because of the nature of
the heating equipment

Mrs. Stephen D. Horton Has Left Leg
Broken While in Woreester-LittIe
DAUGHTER Uniniured

Reports received here Wednesday
from st. Vincent's hospital in Wor-
cester Indicated that Mrs. Stephen D.
Horton, wife Of the landlord OF the At
tawaugan hotel, was resting comfort
ably, although badly injured Mrs.
Horton was hurt Monday afternoon in
Worcester when she was struck and
knocked down by an automobile, as
was her adopted daughter. Anna, 4,
as they stepped from the sidewalk to
board an electric car for Webster.
In some unaccountable manner Mr..
Horton was not notified of the accident
until Tuesday and he was astounded
when he learned that Mrs. Horton
was lying at the hospital suffering
from q compound fracture Of the left
leg, at a point between the knee and
ankle, and SO serious in nature aSSto
cause the bones to protrude through
the flesh before the reduction was
made by the hospital surgeons.
Elderic Legasey Of So Maynard
street, Worcester. was driving the ma
chine that struck MRS. Horton and the
little girl, who escaped with no more
serious hurt than g. slight abrasion on
the face. Legasey. who was summon
ed to Station 1 of the Worcester po-
lice department, pleaded as a defense
that Mrs. Horton and the child ran
out in front of his car from the side
walk. Mrs. Horizons version is that
they stepped out to take the car and
were struck before they had chance
to save themselves and that she was
dragged car length.
Mrs Horton and the child were
taken in an ambulance to the hos
pital. Mr.. Horton returned here with
the little girl Wednesday evening.
Mr. Horton will confer with an at
torney when in Worcester today and
will arrange for a thorough investiga-
ton of the accident and the circum-
stances surrounding it. He is greatly
distressed over the affair.
