Ac- cording to Mir Lauridson, his wife was standing near the trolley tracks The automobile traffic was very heavy and at times two cars passed at the same time, which crowded Mrs. Lauridson onto the tracks. This resulted in her being struck. The trolley was in charge of Conductor Frawley of New Britain and was travelling slowly preparatory to stop ping. However, when she was struck she was rolled over and over on the ground for some distance.
 Her husband rushed to her aid and Bull was summoned and Mrs. Laurid- son was carried to her home Up to late last night her condition was un- changed and she had not regained consciousness
 pr. Bull could find no traces, of injuries in the form of bruises or lacerations. Mrs. Lauridson is how ever, 5s years old and the shock and force of the collision evidently had such effect on her as to cause a severe shock to her system Mrs. Lauridson is well known locally and is an active w. c. T. U. worker She is the mother of Mrs. Pearl Smith of 4S Broad street, wife of Letter Carrier Smith of the local post office.

OF that time he had been acting as

public interest who were detained at
the Tombs He became quite friend
OF Arnstein. Jimmy admitted he had
spent about half of his life In Jail, bu-
said he was walking straight from now

his impersonation of an agent Of the

money for Services which should have
been rendered free of charge. His
thriller describing the escape from
Blackwell's Island was said by him to
be purely an imaginative account.

president OF the Brooklyn Chamber of
Commerce Mr.. Enright said the informa-
ton could have been obtained easily
without resorting 10 the method taken
by Mr.. Jonas in suggesting that an in
Yestigation be made of these funds
The Commissioner is mistaken when
he says the information could easily
have been obtained by me or any re-
sponsible officer of the Chamber OF Com
merce upon inquiry TO any responsible
officer OF the Police Department" said
Mr.. Jonas. when 1 was chairman OF

hausted without success, Borough Pres
ident Riegelmann was asked by the
executive committee TO secure Informal
ton about this fund. The information
was not then forthcoming. nor have 1

ut was the thought OF forgotten
funds and not any suggestion of wrong
doing on the part of any one that
prompted me TO ask tho question"
Mr.. Jonas said the war memorial fund
collected by tho police should not be
permitted to remain idle, but either
should be spent for some purpose akin
TO that for which II was raised or re-
turned pro-rata to the contributors.
