CORONER BROWN HAS
 ExoNERATED ANTOINE LEO AbsolVsd From Criminal Negligence in Causing Death of James Chadwick

Antone Leo of Lords Point Ston- ington, has been exonerated from any blame for the death of James Chad wick of Westerly. who was killed in an automobile accident in Stonington early Saturday morning. Coroner Franklin H. Brown of Norwich gives a finding in which he absolves Leo from any crimian1 negligence for the acci- dent.
 Coroner Brown conducted an in vestigation into the circumstances sur rounding the fatality at his office in Norwich Tuesday. Leo was present, but on advice of his attorney, Herbert W. Rathbun, of Westerly did not testf- fy.
 Officer O'Connel1 was the only witness rived on the scene of the accident soon after the collision told what he knew of the accident. He said that he found Chadwick about 22 feet from the spot where the collision took place Officers O'Conne1l was the only witness called.
 Coroner Brown visited the scene of the accident Saturday morning and inspected the highway. Chadwick was injured when a motorcycle which he was riding collided with an automo- bile driven by Leo about six o'clock Saturday morning. Chadwick suffered a fracture of the skull from which he died at the Lawrence hospital in New London later in the day.

DEER IN MONTViLLE
 LIKE POLE BEANS Visited Judge Homes Garden Recent Iy and Had Feast.

Tn the town of Montville the people who are trying to help out on the food supply by gardening not only have to contend with bugs, weeds and the ordinary enemies of agricultu UT : alists. but of late deer have been showing a fondness for vegetables that is very discouraging.
 Deer seem to consider beans pretty good eating and when they get into a garden they pay particular attention to that part of the crop. One night re- gently Judge Dan D. Homes garden was visited and practically all of the pole beans were eaten. The same night Frederick R. Perkins lost nearly all of his beans from the same cause.
 The home garden movement has not only stirred the people of the cities to experiment in gardening, but has served as an inspiration to the farmers. An immense field of whea t can be seen in East Lyme just off the Mantle and Flanders road. MT. Perkins. who is experimenting with the crop, is trying to see what the farmers in this locality can do with wheat crops.
 His present crop covers about six acres and the wheat is standing about five feet in height with heavy heads. People who have seen this field and are familiar with the western crops confess that 1t is remarkably fine. Mir Perkins has shown to the farmers. in a practical way, raising wheat is possible.

Are Jndionant.

Publication of a sensational story about an alleged assault on New London girl fin Williams Memorial park in New London recently by soldiers or sailors has aroused deep indignation in both branches of the service. The fact that no conn plaint of any such assault has been made to the police is pretty good evidence that nothing of a very serious character occurred.

Judge Barnes might vel have added that the State of Connec- ticut has the finest police in the country. Anyone viewing the strong robust men that guard our city and state would have agreed heartily with the judge. The boys entered heart and soul into the days entertainment and many groups were to be seen re- newing old acquaintances and ex- changing stories Among the most youthful of the boys was William s. Doty, who has been in the service for 45 years, and Charles S. Ebbets, a policeman for thirty-two years, gave vent to his enthusiasm by executing a clog dance at the pavilion at Rich ards grove.

PRIZE FIGHTING IN IOWA.

The senator from Clinton will intro
duce in the senate the bill arranged for
to legalize boxing which is to be push
ed with considerable hope of success at
the present session.
About the safest thing to do with
that bill is to smother it,
Not that boxing is not fine sport as
a sport There are thousands of ex-
cellent men who enjoy watching linn
tied round contests between good box
ers with sole gloves. Not that it is
peculiarly brutal under proper control,
for a ten round contest between expert
boxers fairly matched is usually less
brutal and involves less pain and bru
tally than hard wrestling match.
The trouble is that the fight game
falls into the hands of gamblers and
plug uglies and is conducted in keeping
and character with its management.
So perhaps ii would be better all
around 10 simply keep the laws as they
are and suppress the prizefight in Iowa
despite the fact that by so doing we
shall deprive certain promoters of OPP
po-tunity TO make very large wad Of
icns green The serious objection TO
lesalized boxing is the company 1t

THE HONEYMOON.

The honeymoon DIS bright spot in
married life entirely surrounded by no.
tel bills
When young man and woman de-
eide to get married and attack the high
cost Of living with both dsts doubled
up. they begin TO plan on quiet little
trip which will not cost any more than
a new bungalow with sleeping porch
attachment. This trip is called the
honeymoon, and is always looked for
ward to with great pleasure by the
groorA's father. who is not able to have
a new suit Of clothes for two years aft
er it happens.
The honeymoon is given an auspi-
cious start by 'solicitous male friends
of the groom, who gather at the station
and Dedeck the. trunks of the bridal
party with soothing enblems and cpl
taphs. If tourist sleeper has been
engaged these friends climb into 1t and
throw rice and old shoes into the faces
of inoffensive passengers who have
been married once and would prefer
not to be reminded of It. The first
three days OF the honeymoon are usu-
ally devoted to picking hulled rice out

ANOTHER GOOD DECISION.

The supreme court has settled an
other law. the constitutionality of
which had been questioned The de-
cision is that the white slave law goes
as it lies and that transportation of
women for immoral purposes between
states falls on the private debauchee
as upon the procurer That is that the
gay lothario who poses as prominent
citizen at home becomes a criminal
under the Mann law when he goes
escapading between states.
The court seems to approve of the
application of the law to the escapader
Tt supports the verdict Of the inferior
court in the Digs and Caminetti
cases and very plainly issues warning
to similar offenders, 1t will be most
popular decision. The public long ago
came to that verdict and welcomed
that construction of the law.
1t is to be urged that many of the
women are accomplices, that some Of
them are blackmailers and that
sportive gentlemen have been made
the goat of sordid schemes However
there is no great sympathy to be
offered in such cases. The farmer
whose boy looked up to him when they
were hoeing corn in the field on a
spring day with the remark that they
say the fish are biting good now" re-
piled. well you keep right on hoeing
corn and they can't bite you" And
that is a fairly sufficient rejoinder to
the complaints of those escapading
persons who go forth to shear and
return shorn. Of course the black
mailers should be punished but that is
another story. 1t is another issue.
The Mann law then is law with
teeth. Like the Webb-Kenyon law it
may not make men moral but will
minimize the crimes il penalties pre-
cisely as the Webb Kenyon law will
set all but the worst and boldest class
of bootleggers seeking safer trade.
it is we'll enough to include the "esca-
pading' libertine with the white slave
procurer. 1t will hurt none who de-
serves consideration.
