RUNS AWAY FROM HOME.
Grove Street Boy Has Definite Ideas
 About College.

John Carrozzella. of Grove street, Meriden, has not been seen or heard of in three weeks and his parents are very much disturbed concerning his whereabouts. It is presumed because his father did not wish him to resume his studies at theUniversity of Penn sy1vania, but desired him to go to Yale, he became disturbed and left home.
 According to his family he is 20 years of age and has attended the University for two years. After re- turning from service he went to work as there were but two months left be- fore the end of the term. He expected to resume his studies at Pennsylvania, but on account of the distance his fa- ther thought it advisable to go to Yale. The lads disappointment was so great that from that day he has not been seen or heard from.

He was employed for q short time at the Standard Foundry company in Hart ford, and previously he was employed at Landers Frary & Clark company in this city. He leaves a wife, his parents, two sisters, Miss Jennie and Gertrude Smyrk, and 8. brother. Alex Smyrk. He was 3, m em ber of New Britain lodge, Loyal Order of Moose. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at o'clock at the home of his parents. 69 Chapman street. Rev. Samuel Sutcliff, of St Marks Episco- pal church, will off1ciate and the bur ial will be in FTairview cen etery-
 Following an investigation of the collision by Deputy Coroner Kenneth wynne. of New Haven county, Darl- ing, who resides on Woodland ave- nue. Bloomfield, was held in bonds of s5,OOO. The dead man and com panion, Edward Margelot. of 29o Rhodes street, were headed toward this city when the accident occurred. According to the latter, who escaped with decorations of the jaw and hands. Smyrl5, who was operating the mo- torcycle which had 8, sidecar attached, was struck by the car operated by Darling who swung into the left to pass another car going in a souther- 1y direction. This resulted in 8. head on crash.
 Following the crash. smyrk was picked up by Thomas Lyons, of 1S4 Pratt street, Meriden, who started with the victim to Meriden. At the corner of Colony and West Main street in that city, the attention of Policeman Joseph Dunn was called to the accident. The policeman boarded the truck and assisted Lyons in taking Smyrk to the hospital.
 The Meriden city ambulance was at the hospital at the time, and acting on instructions from police headquar- ters Policeman Doran accompanied by Margelot, rode to the scene of the accident. Officer Doran found a mo- torcycle smashed on the turnpike about two miles north of the junction of Broad and Colony street, Meriden. Sixty feet south of this place a Pack ard automobile stripped down was found off the highway The protective fence railing was badly smashed.
 Darling, companied by his wife, reported the accident to the Merlden police. Although the accident hap pened in Berlin, the holding Of the inquest will be necessary in Merlden, because of the fact that Smyrk died in that city. Following the final re- port of the coroner it is probable that steps will be taken by the Berlin authorities in the matter.

Social Service Workers Organize Class That They May Become More
 Proficient in Their Chosen Calling.

Women engaged in social service in the city have organized a class for instruction in Polish and they meet twice weekly for lessons in the lan- guage. Their voluntary action is in dicative of the unselflsh desire to better serve the city. It is another case where the desire to obtain bet ter results is resorted to and the general public little realizes or ap- preciates. Those participating in the class pay for their lessons and give up their rest or recreation time to study. The members of the class are: Miss Sarah Carroll, T. B. association, Miss Ventlie Logan, T.

GOVERNMENTS RAIL
LOSS is 4lS BILLION

Washington May 12-Director Gen
eral Hines, in discussion of recenl
railroad earnings, disclosed that;
The governments deficit in op
Grating the railroads for the firs
three months of this year. or the diff
ference between net earnings and
one-fourth of the guaranteed annual
compensation was about $192,0 for
all roads under federal management,
The governments loss for 1918
was 100000.
The entire government loss incur
red in 10 months of federal opera
tion was $41S,OOO,O0O.
Marked reduction of freight traf-
fic under records of similar periods
of the last two years was respons-
bic for the bad financial showing
and conditions in April show no
promise Of improving.
Despite the big government de-
ficits. the director general does not
contemplate any general Increase in
the level of rates.
The government also incurred
deficit of about S14,54O,0O in eight
months operation of the American
Railway Express company, the Con
solidated Express corporation, up to
March l, 1919
THE present unfavorable results
naturally lead to agitation of the
question whether there ought to be
an increase Of rates" said MI Hines
in his statement.
my own Judgment is that the
present conditions are too abnormal
to serve as a basis for any general
change in the level of rates and
that it is preferable to defer action
on that subject until there shall
have been a fuller opportunity to get
a more reliable and possibly a more
normal measure of the conditions. |

doable economy, studying the stu
