STATE SHOULD
 HAVE PRIMARY TROLLEY CONTROL

Washington, Aug. 13-Final so1u- ton of the street railway problem can come only when a power to regulate wages of street car employees as well as fares Is created, the Federal Street Railway Commission was told today by w. c. Bliss. chairman of the Rhode Island Public Utilities Com mission. The time is approachipg rapidly, he said. when mere increases in fares will no longer solve the financial difficulties of the roads.
 MT, Bliss said tho taxes paid by the principal Rhode Island trolley company in 1913 were 10 per cent. of gross earnings. this being exclusive of the cost to the company of repairs to pavements end similar charges. It was unfair, he said, to impose this entire burden upon street car pes sengers or upon taxpayers generally. as both classes shared in advantages arising from adequate transporta- ton.
 CominfsSionep Bliss said primary control of trolley matters should be vested in state bodies to avoid the selfish interests aud artificial boun- daries of the municipal communities.

 friends are expected home tomorrow from golfing trip to Manchester. In the town court yesterday morn ing the cases of Edward and Joseph inc Baforte, whose place was raidetl by the police Sunday evening and who are charged with keeping a house of i'll fame and the four men who were found there and are charged with being frequenters, were continued to Monday, August 18th and the cases of Joseph Palmer ana Herman Tober both of Bridgeport who are each charged with reckless opera ton of a motor vehicle were continued to Saturday of this week. The carnival which is to be held at Woodm ont Friday and Saturday af- ternoon and evenings of this week to raise money for the building fund of St. Johns R. c. church in New Ha- ven will be something out of the or dfnary in affairs of this kind and no doubt will be very largely attended as it is the most iberally advertised event that has been arranged to take place hereabouts this summer and in fact in a long time.
 
 has worked out a plan whereby drills of different companies in the depart ment are to be held this fall under the direction of Capt. Stowe of No. Company. Capt. Stowe was a stu dent for some weeks at the school for members of the New Haven fire department and he acquired a great deal of information as to the right way to go about the work of hand ling apparatus and other work at fires and this knowledge is to be made use Of by the officials in hav- ing it spread throughout the depart lent and the efficiency of the men and apparatus made higher by the instructions which the captain will irnpart.
 Surveyors under the direction of the highway commissioner are p1ac- ing the stakes which are to mark the width and grade of the stretch of permanent pavement which is to be laid between the top of Ee1s Hill and the end of the present pavement near what was the school house in Woodmont. This stretch has long been needed and there have been long and loud omp1atnts over the delay in building this connecting link of improved roadway between Mil ford and woodmont and when com pleted will be appreciated by a great many people. Visesles and Sons of New Haven have the contract and are to begin work on 1t at once. The | contract calls for the completion of the work in 35 working days whieh will give ample time to finish 1t be- i fore real cold weather sets in, This bit of roadway has been very rough 1 this summer and has been the scene l Of more trouble the past two or three 1 springs than any other stretch of road about and that 1t will be made 1 safe to travel over at all times of
 the year is a matter of much eatis- faction.

newed and active interest in the
Bankhead National Highway, which
starts at Washington and traverses
the States Of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Ari-
zona, and California, is being aroused.
Six of the above States, through
which the Bankhead Highway trav-

Resolutions designating the Bank
head National Highway as an inter

States have been adopted, or are now
favorably pending in these legisla-

Highway as an interstate highway and
are joining in memorialiZing the Federal
Government to designate said road as
a national highway and to cooperate
with the States in its construction
and maintenance.
J. A. Rountree, secretary OF the
Bankhead National Highway, is in
correspondence with the vice presi-
dent and directors in the various
States urging them to secure the
passage of a resolution by the State
this highway. This resolution me-
morializes Congress to speedily CO.
operate in building and maintaining
this road and urges upon President
Wilson to take Federal action in
regard to the same. The Alabama
legislature has passed this resolution,
which is similar in all Of the States

cities through which the road trav-
erses. 1t reads as follows:

REPUBLIC TRUCK
HITS LOCOMOTIVE

When the David Belascos and Oscar
Hammersteins of the movies want to
Iiven up a celluloid drama, add the
punch that knocks 'em cold" and
send them away with goose pimples
and cold chills, they generally revamp
the scenario to permit a railroad
catastrophe of some sort. Either two
degenerate locomotives. about one
round trip removed from the junk
heap, are brought together in a
thrilling head-on collision, or an
''as isl automobile is stalled on the
crossing with the usual disassembly
that takes place when an irresistible
force meets an immovable body.
But not all of these dramatic Incl
dents are the product Of the movies
impresario's fertile mind. Many, -un.
fortunately. occur from time TO time
with considerable loss of life ard
property. That there could be a hu-
morous angle 70 a railroad smash-up
is, perhaps, something rather hard to
believe. Yet that is exactly the way
little affair between a Norfolk and
western railroad switch engine and
Republic truck appealed to on
lockers
Piled high with a load OF green oak
wood weighing nearly 1000 pounds,
this ton-and-a-half Republic was
hurrying along on Princess Anne
boulevard, South Norfolk, Va, the
other day, as 1t had been wont to do
many times before. This time, how.
ever, the driver found a train crew in
somewhat of a hurry, too. Both
parties evidently believed they had
the right of way. The matter came
to an issue directly in the middle Of
the crossing.
After digging out a path for the
wheels Of the Republic truck, leading
ON the spot where it had been tossed
by the indignant locomotive, a chain
was attached to the front axle and a
brother Republic pulled it out Of the
cinders and onto the road again. The
driver, already considerably overdue
at his destination, picked up his sect
tered load, started his motor am
gingerly resumed his interrupted
journey.
The fact that the switch engine had
tossed the Republic full thirty feet
along the right Of way did little more
than slightly discommode the driver.
The truck came down on all four
wheels, with a bent fender, broken
headlights, and a slightly sagging
front spring as the only visible evI-
dence of its alteration with the steam
juggernaut Dumping over the heavy
rails and ties did not damage the
wheels, axles, or chassis in the least.
