OBITUARY.
Miss Kate Morse.

Many hearts in Norwich are sad dened by the news of the passing into another life, of Miss Kate Morse, who died at the Presbyterian hospital, in Boston, on Friday, July seventh.
 Her friends and pupils were always her friends and will remember her first appearance here twenty years ago. Her unusual personal beauty, and her charm and gayety, won her many friends, who drew closer to her as time revealed her splendid courage, her generousity, her never failing bright interest in others, and utter self"for- getfulnesS.
 As a teacher of design, Miss Morse fas a perfectionist, and the most stumbling pupil was inspired by her eagerness to help them to recognize and accomplish good work.
 As we think of her now, it is not 60 much with the sadness of those mourn ing the loss of one suddenly snatcEed from their lives: as with the loving memory of the radiance, and the cour- age, and the charming smile, that one always thought of after her presence was withdrawn

Aieck KoyseI Taken to Baokus Hos- pitaI Suffering From Two Serious Knife Wounds.

CHAUFFEUR ROUSE IS
 ExONERATED FROM BLAME Coroner Franklin H. Brown Makes Public His Finding In Automobile Accident.


 Chauffeur Clifford A. Rouse was ex- Onerated from all blame in causing the death of Clarence E. Baker in the ac- Cident which occurred near the Fair ground on the afternoon of July Fourth in a decision given out Satur- day by Coroner Franklin H. Brown.
 The coroner finds that there was no criminal negligence on the part of the driver of the automobile which struck Baker as he darted across the highway alighting from a moving cleo tric trolley cal. near the entrance to the fairgrounds without taking the rrecautiOn to look either one or both ways to ascertain if any vehicle was approaching.
 The automobile which Chauffeur Rouse was driving and the trolley car were going along the highway in the same direction and the grade at that point where the accident occurred was quite steep. Both trolley and auto- mobile were cOasting along. The automobile was travelling at g. faster speed than the trolley but was not travelling at rate of speed faster than 10 or 15 miles an hour.
 The driver of the automobile sound ed his horn before approaching the trolley car. Baker jumped from the running board and started running across the highway diagonally with out looking back to see whether any vehicles were approaching. He was instantly struck about the knees and was thrown under the right forward wheel and run over by that and the right rear wheel. The trolley car and automobile were stopped almost on a line, both breaks being applied to the automobile. Marks on the highway showed that one wheel was set and tore into the road surface. Bakers body was found about one or two feet in the rear of the automobile after it had been stopped, the automobile having turned slightly to the left.
 There was nothing discovered to in- diCate that Rouse was not acting wholly in observance of the law. The law provides that automobiles must stop not less than 10 feet from the rear of a trolley car to allow passen- gers to enter or make their exit from a trolley and then proceed at a req sona1oIe speed to insure life and limb of persons. There is nothing in the law to prevent driving automobiles past cars when in motion and the circumstances attending this case show abundant preCaUtiOn on the part of the auto driver. The automobile in this case was a heavy and powerful one and the operator, it was shown had the machine under perfect control or he could not have stopped it as he did. The warnings in the street cars that passengers should not leave cars Whens in motion have a double mean ing as is shown by the result of this accident. When the automobile driver was passing the trolley car he did not anticipate 9, passenger of the electric car to spring out and cross the high way. The auto driver gave ample space for ordinary travel. The evidence shows no criminal negligence on the part of the automobile driver.

LINEMAN MEETS SUDDEN
 DEATH BY SHOCK
Varnun1 E. Crane Comes In Contact
 With High Voltage Wire,

Varnum E.

The shock threw the man dis tanCe of 40 feet, but Medical Examiner the man was dead before he hit the pavement.
 Mr. Crane had been engaged in painting the poles in that district and was climbing the pole from which he fell when he received the shock. He had reached the first CrOss-arn and was pulling himself over the bar with his shoulders when the inside of his left shoulder came in contact with a live wire carrying about 2,300 volts. At the same time the inside of his right leg came in contact with the irCn brace of the cross arm and a circuit was joined, the entire voltage passing through his body.
 Watchers saw the man stiffen out and then crash to the sidewalk. Hurry calls were sent to the Lawrence and Memorial hospitals and the am- balances from these institutions ar rived soon after the accident happen ed. A call was also sent to police headquarters and Officer Frank How ard was sent to the scene. Great ex- Citement prevailed and the huge crowd that gathered blocked traffic in Pe- quot avenue until the officer arrived and opened up the street.
 Medical Examiner H. H. Heyer was notified and after a brief examination of the stricken man gave permission for his removal by an undertaken. There was a three inch burn under the left shoulder where the body came in to contact with the wire and a. one- inch burn II 1-2 inches from the right foot, where the contact was made with the iron brace. The left forehead was slightly bruised and the left eye bIaczened where the body had struck the sidewalk.
 MT. Crane lived at 42 Georgiana street and is survived by a wife and two small children.
 MT. Crane was 9 lineman with the Connecticut Power Co. a short time ago, but recently left the employ of that company and returned to his trade with the Standard Brass and Copper Tube Co. Later he accepted a position as Iinenan with the South ern New England Telephone Go. He had been assigned the job of painting the poles as he was an experienced linema1 and had always been known as a careful electrician.
 Telephone officials made an exam ination of the pole and wiring soon after the accident and a report was made at the district office in Norwich and at the chief installer's office in New London.
 He was a member of Pequot lodge, No. 85, I. O. o. F.. and at the meet ing held Friday evening was installed as the left scene supporter.

per cent. of the children were going to other points, to farms and small towns in this part of the state, and most of them left New York to get away from the disease there.
 The health officer said that while none of the children showed any evil dence of the disease it would be just as well for those whom they are go- ing to visit to watch for any symp- toms. There is always the possibility that the disease is incubating in the system, visible signs not being in evi- dence for several days in such cases.
 Every avenue of acres to Norwich will be closely watched. Dr. Brophy and his assistants will be present on the arrival of the boat trains on the New Haven road and Central Yer mont road at 5.45 and 6.27 in the morning respectively and examine all children who leave the train here. Managing Superintendent Callahan of the Shore Line Electric railway has promised every assistance. The cars will be washed out and funigated as a precautionary measure.
 A runOr of three cases in Norwich was personally investigated by the health officer Saturday morning. The report was false in each instance.
 Saturday morning Dr. Brophy re- ceiVed a number of complaints about children from New York visiting in this city. It must be understood by the public, said the health officer, that the names and addresses of the chiI- dren together with the name of the complainant must always be given. No attention will be paid to anonymous communications. A legitimate com plaint will be investigated immediate Iy. The name of the complainant is necessary as the evidence of that per- son is necessary to convict.
 pr. BrOphy was also informed that people on Franklin square were con- siderably alarmed when they saw so many New York children waiting to take cars there. These children had all been examined by Dr. Brophy and his assistants so there was no occa sion for alarm
