SOLDIERS TESTIFY
BEFORE CORONER

Coroner Phelan heard several wit
nesses concerned in the accident yes
terday in Stratford when Carl Bach
was struck and injured by an auto
mobile truck given by Clyde Colver,
a member of the quartermaster force
of the U. S. A. Bach is in a serious
condition in the Bridgeport hospital.
Oolver, Lieutenant Russell G. Hay,
and others told the coroner that the
boy was riding zigzag in front Of the
truck, and turned directly into its
path so close there was no opportu-
nifty to apply the brakes. All Of the
soldier witnesses were examined and
allowed to depart. Further testimony
of civilians was taken at $3.50 this af-
teTnoon.
The hearing before the coroner is
under the Imminent death provision
of the coroner's duties.

FEAR SACRIFICE
OF FAMOUS FOREST

Paris, April 3-Will the forest of
Fontainebleau have to be sacrificed
to military purposes? That question
is agitattng French historical artistic
and literary circles. There is little
of these questionings in the practical
military mind and it is believed prob
able that before long the ancient for
est will resemble a lumber camp on
the Ottawa or the st. Maurice rivers.
The drain of lumber during the
present war has been very great. With
the difficulty in transportation grow
ing and more acute the supply of tim
'ber has had to be obtained from To-
cal tracts instead of from the virgin
forests of Northern Canada.
There is a pang of regret in ar
tistic circles but it is remembered that
England has sacrificed without MUIR
muir the beautiful trees in the Royal
Park of Windsor and it is believed that
unless lumber can be obtained else

FIRST STEAMER
TO CROSS OCEAN
WAS The SIRIUS

Today marks the 80th anniversary
n modern hstory-the departure from
Cork of the Sirius, the first vessel to
cross the Atlantic wholly under her
own steam. All that remains of that
staunch little vessel is a number of
brass paper weights made from the
metal work of the Sirius, after she
had been wrecked in Ballycotton Bay
in 1847. Capt Roberts, the COM
mander of the 412-ton Sirius on her
maiden voyage across the Atlantic,
was later transferred to the Presi-
dent which went down with all on
board. Thus both the Sirius and her
commander had tragic end.
The Sirius made the voyage from
Cork in 10 days, reaching New York
only few hours before the Great
Western, another steamship which
had sailed from Bristol. The latter
made the best time, crossing the
ocean in Is days. The Sirius had a
passenger list of seven on her initial
voyage under steam power across the
Atlantic. The youngest of these pas
sengers was Vincent E. Ransome
then four years old, who was reported
living a few years ago in Wiltshire
England, where he was long the rector
of a parish church.
The arrival of the Sirius and the
Great Western marked the beginning
of steam passenger traffic between
Great Britain and America, although
a number of years passed before the
steamships offered much advantage
in speed and accommodations over
the sailing vessels. The Sirius was
a schooner-rigged ship, and was IT'S
feet over all, with a beam of Is feet
and depth of IS feet. The accom-
| modations for passengers were Of the
crudest sort, and they were supposed
| to provide and prepare their owr
| food. The Sirius originally started
from London, but encountered such
| severe weather that she had to pu
into Cork for repairs. Several of thu
passengers who had boarded the yes
sci left at Cork, forfeiting their pass
age money rather than risk the dan

UNIONS
FROM HAMPERING
U. S. CONTRACTS

Application to make permanent the
temporary injunction issued Febru
airy % by Judge William M. Maltbie
of the Superior Court, against the
local unions Nos 2O9 and II of the
International Iron Molders of North
America, has been filed in the Su-
perior Court by the Norwalk Iron
Works. In addition to the unions
mentioned several of@the officers of
each are mentioned by name.
The Injunction requires the unions
and the officers and members to re-
frain from interfering with work be-
ing done by the Birmingham Iron
Foundry of Derby for the Norwalk
Iron Works. Claim for perman-
ent injunction is made.
There was disagreement between
the Norwalk Iron Works and some
of its men August 9, 1917, and about
Is of the coremakers and molders
left. Their places were filled. In
February the Iron Works made a
contract to furnish high pressure
compressors for Air Nitrates Corpor-
alton, an agent of the Ordnance De-
partment of the U. S. government,
and a contract fer some castings
was made by the Norwalk concern
with the Birmingham Iron Foundry.
When it was learned the work was
for Norwalk, employees of the Birn-
ingham company threatened a
strike.
Conspiracy to interfere with work
for the U. S. government is charged,
and the Injunction granted by Judge
Maltbie specifically enjoins the de-
PENDANTS from interfering with this
| work.
The case is returnable to the April
| term of the court.
