but the engine and coach were over
turned. The engine separated from
the tender, which crashed over on its
side. The express and baggage cars
were thrown across the track and up
set, but the passenger coach remained
upright, though i'll a position which
made it somewhat difficult for the six
| passengers to get out
| Express Messenger Church had taken
| on at Amherst large number of wood
en- eases filled with hats, and when the
crash came he was thrown to one enc
of the car with the boxes on top OF
| him. Help was necessary to get hin
out from under the pile of boxes. Hi:
/ injuries are not serious, consisting
chiefly of severe bruises.
The track was very badly torn ~
and traffic was interrupted all night
| The passengers were transferred to :
Boston & Maine train which came fro1
the west about the time of the wreck
the track of that road being close t.
| the Central Vermont line. The Cen
trail Vermont passenger train used tn
Boston & Maine track from Belcher
town to South Amherst last evening

determined. The conductor of tn
wrecked train was George L. Spoffor
of New London, Conn, and the. eagi
neer Bert Gates, also of New Londor

WANTS DECISION BY
THE SUPREME COURT
President Ripley Says the Law Is Moth
ing More nor Less Than an Advance
of 20 to % Per Cent in Wages of
Best Paid Men.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 7.-E. P. Rip
ley, who is president of the Atchison,
Topeka ana Santa Fe railway, declared
in formal statement last night that
the Santa Fe does not intend to COM
ply with the Adamson eighthour law
recently enacted by congress to avert
a threatened railroad strike until or
dered to do so by the United States SUI
preme court. Mr.. Riley's statement fol
lowS:-
Congress, hastily acting under a
threat of four leaders of labor organiza.
tions, enacted a so-called eight-hour
law which is nothing more nor less than
an advance of 90 to % per cent in the
wages of the best paid men in the rail,
way service. 1t is only fair to the public
and to our employees to say that the
Atehison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway
company does not intend to comply with
the law until ordered to do so by the
court of last resort

The possibility that Francisco Villa is
making his way to the northwest with
the intention of taking some portion
of Gen. j. j. Pershing' IS expeditionary
force was considered at Major General
Funston s headquarters.
General Funston said he regarded il
as not at all improbable that Villa was
planning to engage the Americans al
some point, probably where they are not
in great strength.

JUDCELESS CITY
 COURT POSSIBLE
 HERE TOMORROW
Securing State Fails to Pro- cure Man to Take Bench
 Up To Today.

Judges, judges everywhere, but no judge for city court,'' is the plight of the prisoners whose cases will come up in the city court tomorrow morning.
 Judge Frederick A. Bartlett of the city court is supposed to be on the bench this week, but is confined to his home by illness and is unable to talk above a, whisper. Deputy Judge Will der heard the cases in court this morn ing, but will be unable to do so tomor- row as he has a case coming up on the short calendar session of the su- perior court to attend, whih is imper- atiVe.
 The city court officials tried this morning to procure either of the judges of the New Haven court to at tend, but it was discovered that Depu- ty Judge Hall has been called to camp with the members of the state mo1itia and it is necessary for Judge John R. Booth to sit in the New Haven court
 Efforts were made to get Judge John R. Booth of Danbury to sit in the court tomorrow and it is believed that he might possibly be obtained. Diligent efforts are being made to get his ser vices, but if they are failures. Judge Munger of Waterbury will probably be asked to conduct the court.

equipped map department, and a ia
 nous linotype company states that it has a large quantity of 1athes, drills,
 milling machines and other tools adapted for the production of shells, fuses, accurate machine tools and
 small metal parts of any kind requir- ing extreme precision.
 The president of one of the worlds s
 chief railroad systems gladly offered
 his company's shops for the inspec- ton of the state board, an upstate concern now making starting and lighting apparatus for automobiles was quite sure it could furnish small arms and an elevator company known over two continents is devoting earnest
 study as to how it could help the gov- ernment with it's mechanical equip ment.
 The head of an automobile estab- lishment writes: Your plan can do
 more for preparedness in an actual
 substantial way than can all the ora tors in the country, especially when we
 see that our soldiers would have to be armed with broons and snowbal1s. We are with you for industrial prepared ness and just want you to tell us how we can help" From the president and general manager of one of the big gest iron works in the country came
 this: 'tWe are deeply interested in the work and in case mobilization for
 war becomes necessary believe our company, individually and collective
 ly, would respond to our country's call
 with our facilities.'
 One ore company, however, thought
 it very unlikely that it's plant could be
 useful to the government for the req
 son that its executives 'sare all Ameri-
 cans and we would undoubtedly shut up the plant and go to war if neces- sary;'' a celebrated firm of nanufac-
 turing chemists appointed it's chief chemist, a man eminent in science, to assist the committee in every way, and a national sporting goods company wishes to cooperate to the fullest ex- tent.
 A prominent maker of drop forgings
 wrote that he would waste no time
 utilized for the military forces, and finally, 8 fountain pen manufactures
 whose name is a household word, glad ly offered to analyze his mechanical
 equipment and when necessary to 1 adapt it to the benefit of the govern
 ment of the United States.
 The Committee on Industrial Pre-
 paredness started it's campaign but a few weeks ago with nationwide con structive organization raised up almost overnight. The results so far achiev- ed would seem strongly to confirm Chairman Coffin's initial statement to the country that in the twentieth cen tury nations are defended not alone by fighting men but by fighting indus tries and that the life of a government in time of war rests more fully with the resources of properly organized industry as the foundation rock of a true national defense than with the marsha11ing of troops.

girls. These handkerchiefs come in pink and blue and green.
 Perhaps it is due to the scarcity of dyes. At all events many of the new coIored handkerchiefs are in dull col orsEduu blue and green. dull rose and violet.
 Linen is not the only fabric from which handkerchiefs are made. Or gandie, dinity, crepe de chine and ba- tiste are also used in the sheer hand kerchisfs of the spring.
 Handkerchiefs in white with color ed borders are made to match the blouse with which they are worn, and in such case are, of course, worn rath- CT conspicuously in the patch pocket which adorns the front of the blouse.
 It is an old saying that the Egyptians understood the value of black in bringing out and harrnonizing other colors. Occasionally we, too. seize on black. We have done so in the spring handkerchiefs. Some of the most attractive of them show a tiny edging of black, sometimes an embroi- dered or crochete1 edge, sometimse a line woven in the fabric or printed there.
 Birds have flown into favor in all sorts of ways this season and the hand broidered are especially pretty. These. little birds are co1ored and, of course, the swallow, most popular of birds in the decorative field at present, is of- ten pictured.-Washingt Star. ..

ALI ABOUT HANDKERCHIEFs.

The shops, of course, are full of nov cities in handkerchiefs. They are always full, these days, of novelties in everything. Sometimes it seems that there can be no handkerchief nov cities in store for us, so mAAy have we seen in the last few days. But still they come, and still we buy.
 For children, in whom the pictur- esque in handkerchiefs is more read fly excused than in their elders, there are dainty little colored squares of muslin, with pictures gayly printed in colors in the corner. One picture shows a small boy feeding a squirrel perched in the tip-top of a diminu- tive tree. Others show ducks and rabbits, chickens, kittens and little

Harlow of New York, for he died two hours later at the Bridgeport hospital of a fractured skull He was taken to the hospital in the emergency ambulance.
