MAN KILLED ON TAFTVILLE ROAD


 Under circumstances that look as if he had been hit by an automobile that drove away and left him unconscious in the road, Richard Ward, 46, of S3S Pine street, Fall River, was found in the road at Taftville Saturday night between 930 and 10 o'clock. He died shortly after he was found.
 William o. Buddington of this city, who was driving towards Oecum on Norwich avenue, was the first to come across the body, seeing it lying in the middle of the road near the upper end of the Ponernah mill fence, and swerved his automobile to one side to avoid hitting it. George Simoneau in another car came along a moment later and they were looking at the unconscious form when Dr. George Thompson came from the opposite direction.
 The doctor thought it was case of intoxication. as the man had been sick in the road, and after Ward had been carried to the side of the road the doctor sent for Constable Gus Lambert who soon arrived As the constable started to pick Ward up he found the man was still alive, but blood was running from Wards ears The constable summoned the doctor again, but the man died before the physician had arrived. Later it was found that he had a fracture at the base of his skull and one wrist was broken.

JACoBUS ASkSNF
 CONNECTICUT FALTERS

In his final attempt to have Connec- ticut make it's quota on the Near East Relief drive, Professor M. w. Jacobus, state chairman is sending to every. newspaper in the state and to all his chairman and lieutenants in the thirty four dis tricts an effective argument together with a printed appeal which is to be by mail to approximately 100000 families.
 Professor Jacobus argument is prin- cipally re-statement of an announce ment from New York headquarters reading, as follows: Our committee on estimates labored for weeks trying to bring our estimates of needs within the compass of our prospective re- ceipts. The first budget prepared, which the committee thought to he the minimum of requirements amounted to SIS, 800, 900, and even this did not include all of the real needs.
 At the conference in New York @ further drastic reduction of. the bud get to S56, 100000 was made. Recog- nizing, however, that the sum of $30,- 900, GOO had already been announced as the financial goal of the committee for the present year, and that a great many war chests and other local com- mittees had made their plans on the basis of $30,OOO,0GO the committee was requested to make further reductions l in the budget, which they have lne with the present total of $36, 800 900. Governor Holcomb has stated that if we could visualize the need of sav- l ing these. afflicted nations that Con necticut alone could and would give the entire s30,000 eco.
 Chairman JaCpbus in this circulal
 explains the logic of the governors
 conclusion. Not even $600.000 has yet l been secured because of the inactior
 and apathy of certain districts.
 l With the result in doubt is Connecti-
 cut, the pioneer state in all war move ments, finally to fail?
