HEARING HELD AT WESTERLY
Connecticut Utilities Commission Decide Matter of Night Flagman at Railroad Crossing Shark Sighted Of Pleasant View-StOmach of One Taken at Watch Hill Yields Old Shoe and Several Lobsters

Under the spreading boughs of a shady chestnut tree, ir Palmer street near the railroad crossing, there as- sembled a number of residents of Paw catuck during the noon hour Wednes- day. to attend q hearing before the Connecticut utilities commission upon a numerousIy signed petition asking that a hagman be stationed at the crossing at night, as there is now by day, thereby giving continuous Safe ty First service. At 12.3O, the time set for the hearing, there were among those assembled Selectmen Chesebro, Boulter and GIedhill and Town At torney Hinckley. The west bound ex- press came along a few minutes later, stopped at the crossing, and there alighted Commissioners Higgins and Elwell, and Superintendent Mosett and Attorney Buckingham for the railroad company.
 The hearing was immediately com menced in the open by Attorney Hinckley who stated that the hearing was on the petition to have a, fagman on duty at the crossing from ' p. m., to 2 a. m. MT. Hinclkley said that the old and indistinct signs at the cross ing had been taken down, and that the new signs now in place stating that the gates were operated from 6.45 a. m. to p. nn., were placed there since June 24 last, when Louis DOtolo in attempting to cross the tracks in his automobile in front of an approaching train was killed. The fatality resulted in the petition which the commission CTS were to consider.

of the town of Stonington, said that he used two automobiles and several horses in connection with his business, and that he always considered the crossing dangerous and approached it cautiously. He did not think the peo- pie were asking for too much, when they asked for protection that would mean the employment of one addi- tiOnal man by the railroad company. Had there been night service, Louis Dotolo would not have been killed. In reply to a query of MT. Higgins, the witness said it was chiefly local travel.
 Dr.. Edwin Whitford stated that the crossing was a dangerous one, that the population in that section had materially increased, and the element of danger had correspondingly in creased, and the time had arrived when the railroad company should provide adequate protection to all users of the crossing and a fagman should be on duty there all the time He favored the elimination of the crossing, but until such change was effected, the gates should be operated nights as well as days.
 Former Representative Albert G. Martin stated that a mass meeting Was held nine years ago and the eIim- nation of the crossing was urged, but without result. When he signed the petition for this hearing, he stated that the petition should have been for elimination, a permanent remedy, and not temporary one. He told of the growth of that section of the town, and the great number of adults and school children who used the cross ing and were entitled to proper pro- lection. Attorney Buckingham asked if there was a night school in that section and MT. Martin replied that there was not.
 SeIectman Frederick BouIter stated that the danger at the crossing had increased one hundred fold in the past decade by reason of the increase in industry and population. He said it must be apparent to the commission CTS that parties coming up the hill could not see the crossing until they were practically on the tracks. Had the crossing been properly protected Louis DotoIo would not have been killed, he said. Attorney Buckingham asked if there had been big increase of traffic over the crossing at night MT. Boulter replied that the several manufactories ran overtime and that many; of the employees used 1the cross.

The local train due to arrive in Wester-
 ly at 7.16 in the evening struck and killed Michael Rose, age five, and son of John Rose, at the Division Street crossing in East Greenwich. The boy with two companions were at the crossing, and before they started to cross they waited for the passage of an east bound train, and then step ped in front of the approaching west bound train. Rose was instantly killed but the other boys got quick sight of the train and jumped from the track and escaped injury. pr.

At the conclusion Christopher Sim mons stepped into the circle and said he was the man who took the count, and that the figures read by the su- perintendent were wrong and that he was not going to stand for that. MT. Simmons took a little book from his inside pocket and declared it contained the correct figures. Comparison was made with the report submitted and it was found that there were some dis crepancies but which favored the pe- titioners rather than the railroad com pany. In response to question from MT. EIwelI Mir. Simmons said his lit tie book did not contain the original figures, but that thay were put down on the report he gave to Agent Smith, and that the figures he had were taken from the original, and were taken for his own use. The hearing was then declared closed.

Attorney Hinckley said he resided in a distant section of the town and was not familiar with the conditions at the Palmer street crossing, but he did know that three large manufac- turing plants in the vicinity, operated day and night and that many of the employees used the crossing and were entitled to protection, as were also all others whether on foot, in automobiles or other vehicles. It was for the com mission to say whether there should be a fagman at the crossing none of the time, part of the time or all of the time, and the commissioners real ized that it was a part of their duty to protect the lives of citizens. MT. Hinckley claimed that justice and fairness required continuous service at the crossing and he hoped the com missioners would grant the prayer of the petitioners. MT. Hinckley then in troduced the witnesses.

Andrew FaIlon testified that about all that was necessary as to the cross ing conditions had been said, but he gave a bit of personal experience. Last Saturday night he was at the cross ing and heard a freight locomotive, east bound. puf1ng quite distance down the line and his attention was in that direction. He stepped onto the west bound track, happened to look to the left. and saw a train coming from that direction and he had to hustle to get to safety. He saw a man at the shanty and asked him why he did not operate the gates and got this reply: T don't have to; I'm counting the pedestrians, the vehicles and trains" He believed the proper remedy was elimination, and if that could not be had, a night f1agman, the next best remedy. There had been several fatalities and five years ago MT. Brown was killed at the crossing The gates were not down. There had been many near accidents.

 The seven -footer that was beached in the afternoon, was soon after dis enboweled and an old shoe and sev- eraI Iobsters were found in it's stom- ach. In quick time the teeth were ex- tracted and taken as souvenirs, of the first shark landed in this section since the shark scare struck on. It is be- Iieved that this particular shark was one of a school and had been struck by the blade of a steamer propeller wheel, as there was a deep cut on the side of the big fish that was evil dently inflicted in that way.

He declared there should be continuous gate ser pie would know where they were at The best remedy was elimination, and he believed that in the not far fu- ture the town of Stonington would ask for the establishment of the grade crossing and stand ready to pay the legal proportion of the expense.

RAISINS A VALUABLE FOOD
Their Value Is Too Frequently Ignored
Some Breakfasts That Are
Little Different.

Try combining for breakfast prunes
or raisins, cooked, drained and
mashed and slightly sweetened, with
an omelet, spreading a cupful of them
on them before folding over. Dried
apples which have been soaked and
we'll drained may be fried like fresh
apples and served with the bacon. A
pound Of dates cooked with a pint of
cornmeal, teaspoonful of salt, a ta-
blespoonful Of -four and pint of cold
milk will vary the morning mush. A
cupful OF stoned, chopped dates IS an
agreeable addition to apple sauce,
added when the apples are almost
cooked. Baked apples are delicious If
the centers are filled with stewed
prunes. If cooked prunes or dates are
chopped fine they may be added to
the breakfast mullins, thus giving va.
riety to an everyday dish. Many a
child who will not eat cereal in the
morning can be tempted to do so il
chopped dates or figs are allowed to
simmer a few minutes and then mixed
with the cereal, or placed around it.
Don't leave your raisin jar on the
shelf, using it only occasionally, for
this most valuable dried fruit will
supply elements necessary to health at
minimum cost. When properly
baked In bread they are almost ideal

PICKLING CARROTS AND BEETS
Winter Vegetables Are Invaluable for
Repenishing the Cupboard
Fixing Sweet Peppers.

For picking baby carrots great care
must be taken in choosing firm and
well-ripened vegetables. The advan-
tage of preparing these winter vege-
tables is that they can be picked or
canned with much greater ease than
in the summer when warm kitchen
is an adherence. A few cans OF car
rots, beets or peppers are real addi-
ton to the seasons store without ex-
ira cost Of any sort.
Boil the carrots until tender and
then rub Off the skins in cold water.
Cut them up (unless you are using
the young carrots I mentioned above;
in that case use them whole). Pour
cold vinegar over them; add slice
of onion, two bay leaves, and a tea
spoonful Of celery seed to each one
half dozen carrots. Do up in air-tight
jars, and let the jars stand upside
down over night and if any liquid
runs out, screw them up little more
tightly the next morning.
Picked beets may be treated in
luS oduc way. Ooc Ouc uOLcu SOOu-
sized beets, two quarts Of vinegar, one

spoonful of pepper, two tablespoonfuls
Of grated horseradish.
Boil the beets until tender then re-
move the skins and cut them up, plac.
ing them in jars. Put the vinegar into
a porcelain-lined kettle, adding mace,
ginger and pepper. When this reaches
the boiling point take from the fire;
then add lorseradish and pour, hot,
over the beets. Seal up in air-tight
jars, using the same test for tight.
ness.
Red and green sweet peppers may
be put up, too. Cut a slice from the
stem end Of each pepper and take out
the seeds, then cut it into thin strip,
going round and round the pepper with
a sharp knife. Cover with boiling wa
ter for two minutes, drain, and place
in iced water for ten minutes. Drain
again and pack into glass Jars. Boil
vinegar in the proportion Of one quart
to two cupfuls Of sugar fifteen min.
