.F|REMEN OF
new HAVEN Gilt
EDGE EXPRESS
HIS STORY

Westerly, r. l., Oct. lis. P. King,
who was fireman Of the Gilt Edge Ex-
press Of the New York. New Haven &:
Hartford Railroad when it crashed into
the rear of a local train near the Brad
ford station on the night of April II
last. testified today at the trial of the
engineer Charles II. Mansfield, for
,manslaughter that the distant signal
showed green, indicating clear track
for the express.
According to King he heard Mans
field call out High BALI" few min
utes before the collision. The fireman
testified that he had agreed with the
engineer to repeat the, words High
ball" when a distant signal showed
green and that he did so at the Brad
ford block. The witness said he then
began shoveling coal on his fire. and
the next thing he saw was red light
He did not know whether it was a
light on home signal or a lantern
carried by a fiagman.
Counsel for the defense sought to
bring out that officials of the railroad
had tried to have King change his. tes-
timony concerning the color of the sig
nails, but on cross-eXamination the wit
ness said that an official had simply
asked him if he might not have been
mistaken in statements he made before
members of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and at the coroners inquest

MUNICIPAL COURT
Joseph cIoutisr, Aged IS Years, Shown
Error Of His Way

A boy giving the name OF Joseph
Cloutier was before the municipal
court at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
on the charge of having put cotton yarn
in the waste at the Edwards mills
where he had been employed. The case
was something of a novel one mas
much as the lad was not arraigned In
the usual manner but was as 1t might
be said given an informal hearing. The
points brought out were that he had
committed the act with which he was
charged; that he was gifted In the art
of telling things that were not so; that
for q boy of 16. which he gave as his
age, he knew but very little. Among
other things that the court asked him
was the name of the capital Of the
state, the name of the Governor and
the name Of the mayor of Augusta. but
in each instance the boy was silent.
But little progress was made during
the hearing and it was finally con-
cluded by the Judge ordering the boy
TO report to him or to the city marshal
each Saturday until further notice.
9" Other business before the court Tor
the dry, was one case Of intoxication In
which the respondent was allowed to
go upon the payment of costs.

B0WD||0|N SQUAD
WILL FEEL LOSS
OF CAMPBELL

BRUNSWICK, Me-, Ooa. 1.-THE most
serious effect of the Wesleyan game
Saturday was the injury Of Campbell.
who was playing his first game Of the
season. In the last few minutes Of
play, when Wesleyan braced up and
scored 13 points to tie the score, Camp
bell was laid out with a broken ten
don which will keep him out Of the
state SERIES He had played a fast
game at tackle, and there was hardly
a play through the left side Of the line
defended by Bradford, Campbell and
Small. He had promised to be val
liable addition to the line but he is at
present on crutches without immediate
prospect Of getting back into the game
1t was in the Wesleyan game last fall
that Shumway fractured his elbow and
was kept out Of the game the rest of
the season.
The team had an hour of light scrim-
mage yesterday afternoon and there
was additional individual drill for the
backs and line. Bowdoin has not been
defeated yet this season, but probably
the hardest game of the schedule will
headed by Eddie Cawley will give the
White a mighty hard fight this week
Though Bowdoin's line is much lighter
than last years and though there are
many new men in the game, the team
has been more successful than usual
in it's preliminary games.
Crockett, the Everett freshman, played
for 10 minutes in his first varsity game,
relieving Peacock at halfback. Two 9TH
er freshmen played parts of the game.
Rhoads at tackle and Drummond at end.
Captain Shumway played the entire game
at quarter and was one of the individual
stars of the game. The line behaved
finely, though on both sides the offensive
was superior to the defence. The men
were not allowed to stop off in Boston
this week as they did after the Amherst
game, but returned directed to Bruns-
wick.
Bowdoin is looking ahead to two hard
battles after the Maine series is over.
The traditional Tufts game will come at
Medford this year ana the conquerors of
Harvard will probably be abfe"to make :,
very hard game for the light Brunswick
eleven. The Holy Cross game in Portland
on Nov: II will be an interesting one. and
a record attendance is expected at Bay
side. for both colleges have many sup
porters around Portland. Holy Cross
will 20 through hard schedule before
the Bowdoin game. and. Rpwdoin will
come directly from the games with the
three Maine colleges. Bowdoin is already
planning to turn out in force to the game
and the r.any alumni in Portland will in
sure good body of rooters.

# TEACHER ASSOCIATION

The Parent Teacher Association held
a very successful meeting Tuesday eve
ming in the Assembly hall at the Cony
high school building and had the pleas
ure of listening to talk by President
Roberts of Colby college, which proved
to be most interesting. Prof. Roberts,
smoke on the subject Of Education,
particularly with reference to reading,
the idea being that II boys adsant-
ages for education were small he could
obtain a fair amount OF useful eouca'
ton by his efforts in reading.
Prof Roberts spoke particularly
with reference to people who And fault
with the accomplishments Of schools
and said that the average result In
schools was better than It was 80 years
ago. He also gave a little advice to
teachers and said that two things
which they needed were common sense
and patience; that common sense con-
sisted in making big things big ana
little things little. Teachers needed pa
tience because boys heads were Just
as different inside as they were out
side.
His efforts were much appreciated
by a god audience. At the conclusion OF
the meeting copies Of "A Reading
course for Parents by the United
states Board of Education were dis
tributed among the audience. Twenty
five of the books mentioned in the
pamphlet are in the Lithgow library.

TORONTO TO HAVE
PLANT TO Build
AER0PLANES

Montreal, Oct II - The aeroplane
factory which will be erected in Can
ada for the Imperial Government will
not be erected at Montreal as was at

Portland, Me-. Oct. T.-Blowing down
chimneys and trees. forcing small coast
wise vessels to seek shelter in port, the
6O-mile gale which swept over this section

Boston, Oct. 11.-The need OF I'M
rrovements at an estimated cost OF W.T.
s60.000 in the plant of the New YORK,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad is en-
phasized in the annual report of the
directors to the stockholders made pub
liz today. The report. which includes
the figures of the financial statement
for the year ending June 80. previously
published, says that, while the gross
earnings were the largest in the COM
rany's history, the year was difficult ana
somewhat unsatisfactory because the
volume of business in New England
overtaXed the facilities Of the company
and of many manufacturers and mer-
chants. There was much unrest also
among many classes Of men, the re-
port says; the company had to deal
with 81 strikes; and there was dim-
Guilty in getting an adequate supply OF
fuel
In order to make the desired i'm
pFovements," says the report. there Is
needed the cooperation OF the public,
ire owners of the property and the
employees. The public should realize
mat the New England roads have to
pay freight on all fuel coal for their
locomotives and that very large
amount Of this coal has to be brought
M an-rail. These freight charges on
coal increase the fuel cost for a road
IKE the New Haven between $3,o0o.o0o
una s4'ooo,ooo year. as compared with
ne same amount Of coal used by roads
nke the Pennsylvania, Baltimore &
vnio, and Delaware. Lackawanna &
"estern' and yet the passenger ana
.'e'snt rates on the New Haven arc
~ higher than on those roads and In
many cases are lower. 1t is also to be
Dorhe in mind that the New Haven de-
ives nearly one-half Of its earnings
aom the operation o. passenger trains
T.. Au That the average distance Travelled
each passenger is only 10 miles. A
10y large proportion Of the freight
rs handled are loaded with less than
road merchandise ana the average
W OF all freight is only 81 miles.

Another Question

The heckler still had another cues
ton to ask.
Mr. Hughes" he said, ANY question
that is asked here is asked with no
enmity toward the candidate Of the Re-
publican party. You would have done
all that within "a hours?"
Why. sir" the nominee replied,
the business men of the United States
through the Chamber Of Commerce of
the United States on July 20 sent a
telegram to the President asking for
an inquiry. A resolution was introduce
ed In the Senate for an inquiry and
was laid on the table. For months the
business men of the United States
asked for an inquiry as to this very
matter, and the crisis was allowed to
be developed, when it was unnecessary
that it should have been developed and
there was adequate time to ascertain
what the facts were"
Against Heckisr
The heckling, was attended by the
utmost Confusion. The audience, which
had cheered and applauded loudly in
the early part Of Mr.. Hughes address,
apparently was incensed at the inter-
ruptions, and there We're many cries Of

1t was necessary after each Interrupt
ton for Mr.. Hughes to step forward and
request that the heckler be allowed to
proceed.

that crowded the auditorium. He cited
