MEETS DEATH IN
 EAST LYME AUTO ACCIDENT

Dr. Edgar c. Abbott of 1910 Boyston street. Boston, a lectuer, and a widely known Unitarian clergyman. was instant ly killed when his big touring car over turned at Four Mile HiN, just beyond the foot of Plant Hill, in the town of East Lyme, at 11.30 o'clock Monday morning. Riding with him was Mrs Sarah L. Pearee of Raymond, Cal, who escaped death but received terrible shock to her nerves. She was conscious when taken from under the car and was as speedily as possible removed to the Law renee and Memorial Associated hospital in New London fer treatment.
 It is not thought that Mrs. Pearce is seriously injured, but she was in high ly nervous state after tho accident and could not talk about 1t.
 The accident was caused by the blow ing out of the rear right tire, causing the driver to lose control Of the machine. The tire that blew out was one that was con- siderably wern, while the other three tires on the car and the two spare tires on the rear were in good condition. Had there been good tire on the rear right wheel the accident might not have occurred, al- though witnesses, say that the speed the car was making invited danger. The woman vas riding beside pr. Abbott on the front seat
 The doctor was thrown out when the car tipped over, hts head striking the trolley rail, and was badly crushea
 According to a party of motorists who saw tAe accident Dr. Ahbott's car was making high speed, estimated at se miles an hour. when it passed them. Soon after it passed they heard a loud report and saw the car EweYve from right to left as it proceeded down the crooked hill FkNA xHNrA sA sIA AA.s~ kn speed of the car was such that the driver lost control. and the car finally swung sharply to the right and rolled over on its side. Instead of turAing bottom up, 1t slid along the abandoned trolley track on which it landed and came to 2 stop some 20 feet from where it overturned.
 Medical Examiner pr. F. H. Dart was summoned and he reached the scene about 12,3o o'clock. He identified the doctor by his motor vehicle registrati card. He searched through the dead mans clothes and found further means of identification. The deceased had but $14 in cash on his person-a 10 bin and four $1 bills and a few pennies, He had two gold watches in his clothing. He ap- peared to be about 50 years old, of heavy build and of dark complexion. The couple were headed toward New London when the accident happened and 1t is believed that they had been at Long Branch, N. J., recently, as a package ad- dressed to Mrs. Pearce at 501 Bath ave nue, Long Branch. N. J., was among the effects found in the car.
 pr. Dart gave a verdict of accidental death, due to a fractured skull, and he gave permission for the removal of the body, stating that he would turn it over to Undertake Prentis of New London. The body was taken there later In the after noon.
 The ear does not appear te be very badly damaged. The windshield is broken and the top is considerably damaged. but the engine and chassis appear to be in- tact.

CONNECTICUT FARM GIRLS
 HELP GREATLY IN DIARIES

Connecticut farm girls have establish ed a new record, according to data se- cured by the statistical department of the New England milk producers associa- ton they are doing nearly six per cent. of all the dairy work on their fathers farms. This is 30 times as much as Massachusetts daughters are doing, sev- en times as much as Vermont girls are doing, six times as good record as the New Hampshire girls made and four times as much as Maine giris.
 They are but following in the footsteps of their mothers, for the Connecticut dairy farmers wives are credited with early seven per cent. of all the dairy work, while Massachusetts farm women are credited with less than one per cent Vermont women do nearly five per cent, Maine women A per dcent. and New Hampshire women 3s per cent of the dairy work.
 More than nine per cent. of all the dairy work is done by boys under IS in Connecticut This is considerably high CT than in any other state but Vermont, where the boys do 13 per cent. of all the dairy work Older sons also do eonsid- erably more dairy work than Massa- chusetts boys on the average farm. Taken altogether, members of the Connecticut aairynan's family do nearly 25 per cent of the dairy. In Massachusetts they do seven per cent An this enables the Con- neetieut dairyraen to get along with about Is Der cent. ef hired labor in their dair9 business
 These figures were secured by the New England Milk Producers. association in an effort to find out the actual costs ef producing milk on the average New England farm. The most significant thing about these figures js the. relatively high percentage of work. which Is done by members of the dairyman's family None of this work is paid for nor is it ordin- arily counted in by the formers in fgur- ing the cost of milk. Such labor should be counted in figuring cost production of the cost of producing mily will depend on the extent to which dairy farmers are willing and able to make their fam lilies work for nothing.

With about thirty of the representatives of the democratic party present, the party caucus for the town of Norwich was held on Monday evening in the town hall. The caucus was perfectly peaceful, quiet and harmonious, there being no contests, the only action being in a stir ring speech for the democracy made by 2. T. Burke after. he had been elected chairman of the cancus.
 William H. Callahan, chairman of the
 denceratic town committee, called the meeting to order and Edward T. Burke was chosen chairman and Paui Faaning clerk Before coming down to the husi- ness of the e4usus MT. Burke induiged in
 flight of eratory to extol what he
 thought were the good points of the democratic party, and likewise called at- tertien to the points in the opposition which he considered bad h his opening
 remarks he admitted that the party of his
 choice. was on the eve of the hardest battle in history, not only statewide but nationwide. He adnaonished the thirty
 who were present to use great care in
 choosing their ticket and select candi- dates who would appeal to the people He also in an optimistic vein expressed | himself as without doubt as to the out come of the Norwich election and the 1 presidential election.

Burke in his l oration he touched upon the suffrage question, saying: Now is the time for | the women to show they can vote intelh- gently" This was taken to mean that
 the women could only show their inteiii- gence by voting the democratic ticket. The reasons MT. Burke gave for women l voting for Governor Cox were the candi- | dates progress, his nature, his past rec ord, and, said Mir. Burke. -'if it wasn't
 for Cox the women would not have the right to vote. hope they will show their
 good sense and profit by it." MT. Burke extolied the good points of the federal reserve bank, which he attributed to
 Woodrow Wilson. With great forceful-
 ness and much pounding of the desk in | front of him Mir. Burke hurled chal- | lenge to all those democrats who were 1 intending to vote the opposite ticket in 1 November. He cha snenged any democrat
 to tell him why they should vote against
