Late in Reaching the Crossing.

The four people had been in the habit
of crossing nearly every day into
Washington, where Mr.. Read Is en-
gagged in business, and yesterday were
little late in returning to Berwyn on
account of marketing. Mr.. Read was,

man at the crossing went off duty at s
o'clock. and when he approached the
gates were not lowered, and he took
this to mean that no trains were ap-

Members of the crew Of a freight
train on the northbound track made
desperate signals to the automobilists,

fused and took their signals to mean
he should cross. 1t also is believed

DANBURY HATTERs SETTLE.
Pay Huge Sum In Addition to Work

The celebrated case of D. e. Loewe
& Co. against the labor organization
the United Hatters of North America
was settled when the union gave a
check for S165,000 to the legal repre-
sentatives Of the Loewe company
closing fourteen years of litigation.
In addition, the Loewe company had
collected $4,000 by attachment on the
savings bank accounts of members of
the Hatters' union This brings the
sum they received TO $235,O0O OF YER
dict of $252 900 obtained by the firm
