He intimat- ed that the public service men might take the matter to the superior court, and in the meantime make an effort to secure an injunction restraining the city from putting into effect the new traffic rules until the matter has been threshed out in the court. He also intimated that the New London public service men will back up the local drivers, as they too, will be affected by the new traffic rules which will prevent them from dis charging or receiving passengers on Main street Or Franklin Square.
 This particular driver, who has been operating a public service car here for the past two years, is of the opinion that the city cannot prevent the P. s. men from loading or unloading passen- gers on Main street, or Franklin Square.

 BY THE PACIFIC OCEAN. Here room and kindly silence keep Companionship in state austere The dignity of death is here, The large lone vastness of the deep; Here toll has pitched his camp to rest; The west is banked against the west. Above yon gleaming skies of gold One lone imperial peak is seen; While gathered at his feet in green Ten thousand foresters are tol; And all so still So still the air That duty drops the web of care. Beneath the sunsets golden sheaves The awful deep walks with the deep, Where silent sea doves slip and sweep And commerce keeps her loom and
 weaves. The dead red men refuse to rest: Their ghosts illume my lurid west.
