this came the shameful events at the

Der said:
There are only three pieces of
property in the way of this venture
and 1 believe two owners have sig
nified willingness to permit the es-
tablishment of trolley route across
their lands. The properties are own
ed by w. o. Burr, Mrs. Andrew p.
Wakeman and the Gould Homestead.
This route would eliminate the dam
gerous curves at Grasmere, Benson
corner, Flint's corner, and the Library
corner. Many accidents occur at these
points.
Those residents of Main street who
object to the double tracks IN their
street would probably favor this plan
1t might be cheaper too, than max
ing the changes necessary in Main
street for double tracks. Not MANY
persons would be Inconvenience by
the relocation, as at the most they
would have few minutes walk to
reach the new tracks,, .
/ Mr.. Chapman said today that at
least five minutes would be cut off
the running time of the cars from
field avenue, by the change, and the
tedious waits at switches would be
eliminated. Further. the danger of
single track operation would be elm
mated.
He was unable to tell offhand
which would be the costlier project
for the Connecticut Co., layink tracks
in Main street with the attendant
changes, or establishing a new route.
''The Main street double-tracking cost
depends much ON where the citizynv
want the tracks located. In some
towns they are placed in the middle
of the road. and of course this would
be costly in Fairfield, because of the
paving. Then, in some places one
pair of tracks is on one side and the
other on the opposite. Some have
both tracks on one side.'
Mr.. Chapman said the COMPANY
would send it's engineers to the scene,
as soon as the town decided it wants
double tracks.

To Be More Effective

London, Jan. 5-Confidence in the
effect of Germanys submarine cam

sius, the German naval critic, in his
review of the naval war in the Berlin
Tageblatt, according to a Reuter- de-
spatch from Amsterdam. Captain
Persius says:
I'VE firmly believe that the COM
mercial shipping of our enemies will
become still less active in 1917. This
will be accomplished by our daily
growing submarine weapon. Our
conclusion for the new year is based
upon the belief that the submarines
will continue with growing success

OUR CORRUPT PRACTICE
LAWS ARE USELESS

Washington. Jan. 5-The corrupt
practices bill pending in the Senate
was the general subject discussed at
a conference at the National Popular
Government League whichl opened
here today. Senator Owen of Okla
homa, author of the bill and presi-
dent of the league, in an address
characterized the present federal law
requiring publicity for contributions
as "quite worthless" and estimated
that $25,0O0,OOO had been spent in
1916 for influencing elections.

and timbers were hurled through the
air by the fury of the wind. Bodies
were picked up a hundred yards from
where the schOolhOuse stood.
Of the twenty-nine persons within
the building only two escaped injury.
Four are believed to be so badly in
jured that they cannot recover. The
teacher, Miss Vera Carter, at first be-
lieved to have been killed, sustained
a. double fracture of the jaw besides
other painful injuries. She is expected
to recover.
The Choctaw Indian mission at
Vireton was destroyed and virtually
all the residences suffered from the
storm.
Before reaching Vireton, the tor
nado struck at Richville, Okla, seven
miles southwest, wrecking boiler
room and a tipple at coal mine
there.
Quinton, Okla, 20 miles northeast
of Vireton, also suffered from the
tornado. Seven persons were injured
and five houses were destroyed by it's
activities there.
What is believed to be the same
tornado caused damage estimated at
$4,000 at Success, 40 miles north of
Little Rock, Ark, and caused severe
loss to property at both Dardanelle
and Danville, Ark.
