MOTORMAN IS
 ExONERATED BY
 DEPUTY CORONER

A verdict of accidental death will be rendered by Deputy Coroner Henry c. Stevenson following inquest into the accident which cost Donald McGrath, aged five years, his life on North Main street last Friday when he was struck by a trolley car.
 Inquest held in the county court house today brought number of wit nesses to the stand all of whom testi- fled to the fact that the little boy ran out into the darkness, narrowly escaped being struck by an automobile driven by Alfred Lane of Danbury and then ran directly in front of the troll ley car, not two feet from the motor mans platform. .
 Joseph Lenihan, the motorman, of 1O63 Grand street testified that his car was in perfect working order and he was observing all the companys rules at the time but was unable to prevent running over the boy.
 His statements were corroborated by Leroy Wildman of Bethel, a pas senger in the Lane automobile, who was an eye witness to the accident and by Conductor Harry Crossley of 51 Sterling street who testified that he felt the application of the brakes and knew the car was not travelling at more than six to eight miles an hour.

U. $. MAY TAKE
 OVER CONTROL OF
 GASOLINE OUTPUT
(continued From Page 1.)

(Continued From Page 1.) the army and navy will have to have immediately on hand enough gasolene for the aeroplanes, trucks, piles. tractors and other machines. There must be no dillydallying about this supply of gasolene and there won't be.
 "It is estimated that the army and navy will need for the year $50, 1000, 900 gallons, and there are two ways of ob- taining it. In the first place the joy rider whose pleasure is obtained by covering many miles ait high speed can voluntarily give this up; the man who takes his family oh Sunday for a 50 mile ride or more can cut this in half |; every man who drives a machine daily can ask himself whether part of his riding cannot be obviated
 ITO sum up, every automobile own CT and driver can be taught. to ask himself each morning whether his proposed trip is absolutely necessary, and act accordingly. then the problem is solved. and with only slight volun- tary sacrifices. On the other hand, if the people continue to be unpatriotic and do not do their bit in this respect, it may be necessary for the United States to take drastic action that will stop excessive use of pleasure automo- piles. This is not contemplated yet, I believe, but it is the only alternative for refusal of owners to cooperate and make voluntary sacrifices.
 Tt is generally conceded that one half the gasolene used in the United States, s1.25o, o00, ,006 gallons, is used in pleasure riding. In my opinion a judicious use of the automobile for this purpose will cut this amount of gasolene in half, which would result in saving more than 1.o00,0 900 gallons each day in the year.,
 Director Manning gives number of suggestions as to how savings in gaso- lene may be effective, and concludes with the statement that his warning does not mean that automobile owners should lay up their cars nor that any one should change his mind about purchasing car.

ARMY AND NAVY
 INSURANCE BILL
 MUST BE PASSED
Would Hearten Morale of Soldiers, Declares
 McAdoo.

Washington, Aug. 13-In a state- nent published today Secretary Mo- Adoo said prompt passage of the army and navy insurance bill would "immeasurably increase Americas chance of winning the war;" and ex- pressed the hope that the bill would be enacted "befora the first soldier of the new army began active duty" about Sept. 1.
 Administration leaders in the house are prepared to expedite the measure, and steps to this end probably will be taken within the next few days. Ar tion gby the senate will have to await the disposition of the revenue bill.
 rIn September approximately 800.- 900 men will be sent to army camps throughout the country to train as soldiers for the greatest war of all time" said Mr. McAdoo's statement. ssAmerica's chance of winning the war-and 1t Is the power and re- sources of America that must win this war--will be immeasurably increased if the war insurance bill now pending in the congress is promptly enacted into law. sSs . America must not be disgraced by a, failure.to to provide for the support of the families of the men whom she takes from their homes and places on the battle field. This Is the time to hearten our men as they enter this supreme sacrifice for the nation. This is the time to hearten their morale and to sustain and comfort those who are left be- hind and are required to make sacri- nSes as great as those who die on the field ef sAAttie.
 .T eafhestly hope that. the measure now pending in Sthe congress will be supported by such an unmistakable expression of public opinion that it will be enacted into law before the soldier in the new national army be- gins active military duty"
