OPINION AFFECTS
ABOUT $50 VOTERS
Brattleboro Board of Civil Authority
VIII Decide Question of Qualifi-
cation Saturday, March 4.

considerable figuring is being done in
Brattleboro in an effort to determine how
many voters who have been in the habit
OF casting their votes at town meetings
will be barred from that privilege March
if Brattleboro follows the decision of At
torney General Herbert G.. Barber and de-
cldes that men whose taxes were not paid
Feb. 10 are barred from voting.
Tax Collector w A. Shumway said this
morning that he had the names of 400
residents of Brattleboro on his list whose
taxes were not paid on Feb. 10 OF this
number he knows of 81 who have left
town and he estimates that there are from
10 to 100 names on the list of men who
are not naturalized citizens and not en-
titled to vote
This leaves total of about 2:JO who will
be affected by the new law which no one
appears to have paid any attention to until
after the attorney general. was asked to
give his opinion.
The board of civil authority will have a
meeting Saturday evening, March 4, to re-
wise the check list, and at that meeting the
question will come up for decision locally
and will be decided by a majority vote.
Montpelier and Rutland have decided to
allow all citizens whose taxes are paid be-
tore the town meeting to vote
Attorney General Barbers opinion was

Severance of Water Routes
Would Hurt Transporta-
ton in New England
POLICY OF RAILROAD
NOT ESTABLISHED
Impossible to Tell What It Would Do
in Regard to Schedule and Direction
OF Trade Until 1t Faced Actual Con-
ditiop.

BOSTON, Feb. 23.-Howard Elliott,
president of the New York, New Haven K
Hartford railroad, testifying today at a
resumption of the hearing by the inter
state commerce commission on the com
panys application to retain control of its
water routes under the Panama canal act,
declared that any severance of the rail and
water service, in his opinion, would Sc
rlously hurt transportation of all the New
England states
John III. Powell, a special examiner for
the interstate commerce commission, con-
Quoted the hearing in the absence of Com
missioner j. {. Clements, who had presid-
ed at the sessions in New York
Representatives of number of business
and manufacturing organizations appeared
IN support OF the company's application
and 1t was stated that none had appeared
IN opposition. Under crpss-examination By
A. III. Elder, attorney for the commission,
Mr.. Elliott was asked what would be the
policy OF the company in case the commits
sion ordered 1t TO sell its boats
Il think the public would be served by
their sale to the highest bidder and the
employment of the money in increasing OF
transportation. The company would in
such case make every endeavor to keep
business on the railroad
About the statement made by the gen
eral manager of the New Haven that if the
company was compelled to give up its
boats he would recommend change in the
schedule and direction of all the trade now
connecting with them, Mr. Elliott said
that 1t would be impossible to outline am
policy until the conditions were actually
met

TEN KILLED IN
NEW HAVEN WRECK
More Than Three Score Persons Injured Are in
Hospitals Express Ran into Stalled Train
One Theory Is That Smoke Obscured the Sema-
phore Signals from Engineer

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. %. - The
death list as the result of the rear-end
tolllslon OF two passenger trains on
the New Haven railroad at Milford
yesterday stood at 10 this morning. OF
more thal three score injured only one
Is in a critical condition. The revised
list of the dead is as follows
William r. Curtis, engineer Of rear
train.
Edward McGinnis, fireman of rear
train
George L. Tourtelette, fagman of for
ward train.
Charles Z. Allen of Groton, travelling
salesman.
Susan B. Hyland, employe in rail
road Office in New Haven.
Patrick Connor of New York, died at
hospital.
Joseph j. Frye, Pullman porter of
forward train, died at hospital
Frank Schappa of New Haven, died
at hospital of scalds.
Two unidentified men, one thought to
be Mairos Derhovhannassian, a dealer
in precious stones, and the other rail
road fireman named Werner
Many Of the injured are in hospitals
here and in Bridgeport.
A preliminary inquest into the cause
OF the wreck was opened today by Cor
oner Mix with Chief Inspector Trum-
bell of the public utilities commission
sitting with him. The latter body prob
ably will open a formal inquiry tomor-
row aad it has been announced that a
federal probe also will be opened soon.
The tracks at the scene of the wreck
were fairly well cleaned cwav this
morning but a heavy fog hindercd tI.is
work and delayed traffic on the line ia
both directions. The chief object Of Tie
official inquiry will be to determine how
two trains happened to get into the
same block.
This division of the New Haven svs-
TEN is guarded by semaphore block sig,
nails which were installed after prev
ious wreck on the road. The theory
advanced today was that the signals
were obscured by smoke from PASSING,
freight and the engineer failed to see
the train ahead until it was tCo late to
prevent the crash.
The signals were all properly set to
prevent the train wreck at Milford yes
terday, according to statement given
out at the offices of the New Haven

POWER COMPANY SUED

Seeks Balance of $3.50 Claimed to Be
Due for Use of Private Road-De-
fense Says Construction of Agree
ment Is False

ment Is False.
Frank A. Larrow, the well-known
liveryman who was injured last April
by being thrown from sulkv on
Flat street, near the corner of Elm
street after a collision with an auto
mobile, has. filed a suit in the county
clerk 3 Office against Paul ID. Cobb and
George Martell. 1t is an action of tort
and damages of $4,000 are asked for
injuries received by the plaintiff and
his horse and for damage to his sully.
The papers are from the office of At
torney Robert q. Bacon. 1t is alleged
that the plaintiff was driving on Flat
street, near the corner of Elm street
April %, 1915, and was on the right
side of the road in the exercise of due
care and caution, when the defendant,
operating an automobile at the rate OF
80 miles an hour and on the left side
OF Elm street collided with the. plain
till s team, hurling him TO the ground
and seriously injuring him.

garage proprietors, are bondsmen for
the defendants and II. G. & +. Z. Bar
ber are their attorneys.
Another suit entered is that of Will
son /. Brown against the Connecticut
River Power Co. of New Hampshire.
In this action, the papers of which are
from the office of II. G. & +. L. Bar
Der, the plaintiff seeks to recover
$3.50 alleged to be due for %
weeks use of a private road over the
property OF the. plaintiff at the rate of
SIS week.
Last July the company was engaged
/ in hauling materials to repair dixie
on the property of the Brattleboro Re
treat. To shorten the haul permission
was obtained by the company to haul
the materials over the private road
through the property of Mr.. Wilson and
an agreement was signed by Attorney
1 Harold Z. Whitney of the power com
4 pany to pay the plaintiff for the use
of the road at the rate of SIS a week
| The letter embodying the agreement
WAS shown TO Mr.. Brown and he wrote
on the bottom of il: Accepted bv
/ Wilson 1. Brown for the year 19I5.''
The company ceased 10 use the road
after one week and rendered payment
of Sl5, which was declined and claim
was made for payment for the remain
der OF the year, % weeks.
Tho company last December sought
to have Dir. Brown restrained from
bringing an action at law, but the pc
titioa for an order of restraint was
dismissed by Judge Frank L. Fish
without prejudice. The company
claimed that ''the construction which
he (Mr. Brown seeks TO put upon the

1t is claimed that ". D. Curtis, the
