COCk-O-DOOUIC,

Bristol-A Ford truck belonging to Gordon Bros. of New Britain, was overturned near the works of the Bristol Brass Company yesterday, and the driver was pinned under the ma chine. Andrew G. Nystrom of Hart ford happened along just as the car upset, and helped the driver out from his cramped position. He was not seriously injured and the only reason he could give for the accident was that he saw a rooster in the highway, and in order to avoid hitting it, he set his brakes so suddenly that the machine spun around and overturned. It was not badly damaged

COntinuinG. the witness said that he went into Richprdson'S place and that AlT. Richardson tried to start the car with the self starter but it failed to go. He then started it with a hand starter. Bennett was about to take the car home, saying that his father would pay for it when he was told that he couldn't take the car until it was paid for.
 He went home without the machine arriving early in the evening and re- ported the matter to his father. His father was angry he said and called up Mir. Richardson and told him to bring the car up right away and threatened him if he failed to do so.
 MT. Richardson brought the car to New Britain a few days later and re- ceived a check for $200 on the bill About two weeks later, after the car had been driven about 25O miles, his father complained to him that it was noisy.
 The next witness was Fred F.. Pur- inton, an automobile expert whose place of business was at 1GO Arch street. He testified that he saw the car after it came from Naugatuck and that it wasn't overhauled proper ly. He doubted if certain nuts on the bottom of the car had ever been taken off and also recognized an old pump shaft that had been on the car for some time. In taking the shaft off the car he broke it. he said. Piston rings, the pump shaft and other parts of the car were exhibited in court Their use and value were explained to the judge by the expert. In hand ling them the judge soiled his hands and took recess to clean them. Nels J. Nelson testified that Mr. Bennett asked him to look at the car and see if it was properly over hauled. He said that it wasn't and that the piston rings could not have been worn within two weeks. In fact
 he said, they didn't look like new ones and that a ride of 25O miles would not have left them in such a condition He said that the rings appear as if the car had been driven 10000 miles.
 Attorney Klein asked how he learned to take care of a car He re- piled. "I learned to take care of a car by running it.
 In conclusion the attorney for the defense stated that there was no evi- dence to show that the work of the car had been falsely and fraudulently represented and that the plaintiff still owed $36.92 to the defendant. It might have been a case of poor workmanship. he stated, but nothing to that effect was mentioned in the suit
 Decision was reserved. Attorney Klein filed a motion for a non-suit

SUNDAY CLOSING
BILL IMPORTANT
LIVELY FIGHT LIKELY TO BE
STAGED ON MEASURE AT
SPECIAL SESSION.
BOTH SIDES ARE READY
ment of Present Closing Law on
The Statutes-Appointive Power
Also important Question.

Madison--Sunday closing of saloons
is likely to be brought more promf-
nently into the foreground at the spe-
cial session of the legislature than
most people imagine, and may, aside
from the contest over the bill to the
governor power of temporary appoint
ment of United States senator, be the
most important question before the
session.
There is no question but that both
sides of the Sunday closing issue are
preparing for the fight over the ques'
ton. The bill which is to come from
the administration will likely give to
municipalities power to decide wheth.
er the saloons shall be closed on Sun
day. This bill will be opposed by the
Anti-Saloon league which will take the
stand that there shall be no legislation
on the saloon question, so far as Sun
day closing is concerned at the special
session, but that instead there should
be demand made for strict enforce
ment of the present Sunday closing
laws on the statutes, which would
mean in the opinion of the Anti-Sa-
loon league, the closing of every sa-
loon in the state on Sunday.
On the other hand, the Sunday OBJ
servance societies will take occasion
to ask as a substitute for the Sunday
closing bill which will be presented
BY the administration. measure
which will be much more sweeping
than the present Sunday closing laws,
and would close up many lines of bus
mess which are now allowed to run on
Sunday
The Rev s. P Todd, who has re-
Gently been appointed the director for
this part of the country of the Lords
Day alliance expects that the Sunday
observance societies will make a fight
for the bill they propose, and that the
measure will be in the form of Sun
day closing bill which will denomi'
nate what are necessities and provide
that all businesses not so denominated
- y be absolutely suspended on Sun
day.

ELECTION FOR RAGUSE SEAT
Other Vacancis in Legislature Cannot
Be Filled Without Special
Act of That Body.

Madison-Despite the fact that there
are several vacant seats in the Wis
consin Legislature only that formerly
occupied by State Senator Frank Ra-
guse, Milwaukee, Eighth senatorial dis
trict. will be filled by special election.
This was revealed following receipt
by Gov. f. L, Phillip of an opinion
from Atty-Gen. Walter c. Owen. who
held that the governor may order spe-
cial elections only in cases where a
vacancy has been officially called to
his attention by the legislature.
The expulsion of Raguse was placed
before the governor in a report by the
state senate. Vacancies in the seats
of Assemblyman w. A. Campbell of
Milwaukee, now in the navy, and Sen
ator Pullen of Fond du Lac, now in
France. have not been called to his at
tention.
There are other vacancies where
members of the legislature are holding
state jobs, but these instances have
never been placed before the executive
in official statements.

EAGER FOR
TEST OF LOYALTY
SENTIMENT AMONG NEENAH
RESIDENTS is FOR SPE-
CiAL ELECTION.
ARE AGAINST PARTY LINES
Voters Want Two Candidates, One
Who viii Support the Presidents
War Program and One to Rep
resent the Pacifists.

Neenah-The people of Neenah are
ready and eager to go to the firing line
on the issue of loyalty, confident that
If senatorial election is called, Wis
consn'S critics will be silenced. Senti-
ment is Overwhelmingly for an cleo
ton; there is scarcely any support for
an appointment by the governor,
Republicans rub elbows with demo-
Gratis in the election demand. Leaders
on both sides say it is time to forget
party lines. Ask man If he is re-
publican and in most instances he will
say, Ordinarily | am a republican, but
| will support the best American can,
didate for the senatorship regardless
of politics" The democrats take the
same position. They say they want to
support man who will stand back OF
the president, be he republican or
democrat, although they seem to feel
that they are entitled to a democratic
senator because the late Senator Hust-
ing was of their party. But they do
not press that point.
Neenah is keely alive to the impor
tance of an election on the loyalty
question: in fact not few men here
seem to regard it as personal mat
ter They say that when man is in
suited he fights; they say the good
standing of Wisconsin has been chal-
lenged and that every man in it ought
to fight to remove the stain.
There is demand for two candi
dates, one who is out-and-out in his
support of President Wilson's war
program, and one who represents the
pacifists, The people here will have
little patience with politicians and
candidates who confuse the issue OF
make it hard to get thoroughly rep
resentative expression of popular
opinion. They are absolutely conf
dent that if the voters of the state are
given a clean cut crack at the issue,
the result will be a sweeping victory
for loyalty.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Henceforth,
for war purposes, there is just one
railroad system east cf Chicago; New
York Central, Pennsylvania, b. & o.,
Erie and the rest of them are merely
historical names.
These roads will be operated as n
single big system by committee com
posed of the vice presidents of the

administered with the sole purpose of
getting freight handled in the most
expeditions way.
The war board directs that all
available facilities on all railways
east Of Chicago be pooled 10 the ex-
tent necessary To furnish maximum
freight movement"
II is pooling of governmental trans
portation agencies well as the rail
ways. As part of the program, the ma
tional fuel administration Is asked to
arrange for supplying the various coal
markets from the nearest coal mines.
There is to be no delay in putting
the new system into effect. The In
land waterways are to be developed
and thus some of the pressure will be
taken off the railways. The commit
tee which will operate eastern rail-
roads as unit will suggest.
