TWO DESTROYERS
v LEAVE HARBOR

The destroyers Bagley, Captain
Louis G. Farley and the Bernadou,
Captain F. R. Berg left this morning
at o'clock for Newport, r. l., where
they will join the rest of the destroyer
fleet.
The boats backed from the dock
at the foot of John street lashed to-
gether and turned at the Steamboat
dock nearly closing the harbor as they
lay across the channel. After passing
Farist Point the lashings were re-
moved and they went out of the har-
Dor in single file.
The number of men who were on
the dock and the bridge to see the
departure of the boats would seem
to indicate that there a large num-
Der of men in this city who are with
out work at the present time.
Just before the hawsers were cast
of fone of the crew appeared on the
deck of the Bagley and was enthusf-
astically received by his mates.
He turned to the crowd OF the dock
and made a little speech saying, well
boys have been on leave for thirty
days and have been in many cities
nearby and I want to tell you that
this is the best little town L have
struck.

Bridgeport Delegate To
San Francisco Home
Today Says That Both
Cummings and Crosby
Made Great impress
sion With Their
Speeches-No Jitneys
in San Francisco.

The story of William p. Kirk. the
Bridgeport delegate to the Democratic
National convention of the wonderful
candidates selected by the Embossed
and untrammelled delegates amid un-
lrecedented harmony and enthusl-
asm, the hospitality of the people OF
San Francisco. with descriptions or
the magnificent natural scenery that
the delegates viewed on the trip
would convince even hide-bound
Republican that there could be no
doubt of the election of Cox and
Roosevelt next November.
Kirk was a Cox man even before
the state convention in ew Haven
and his opinion of the qualifications
of his choice he found borne out when
he arrived in San Francisco. as most
of the Western delegates told him on
the first day that when a break came
they would be for Cox.
If Cox had not been selected on the
44th ballot Kirk is convinced that
Homer s. Cummings would have re-
ceived the nomination on the next
ballot.
Cummings opening address was a
masterpiece and If nominations were
in order at that time Kirk is con-
vinced that Cummings would have
been selected for the high honor by
reclamation. When the nominating
speeches were made and John F.
Crosby placed Cummings name be-
fore the convention in one of the
greatest speeches ever made at Ma
tionaI convention Cummings was so
fixed in the minds of the delegates as
the most acceptable candidate that 1t
was only a question when he would
receive the votes of a majority when
they were released from their original
pledges.
The west, Delegate Kirk. said is
aroused in favor of the ticket and he
expects that some of the former in
ltensely Republican states will give
their votes for Cox and Roosevelt.
1t was the opinion of practically all
of the delegates at the convention
that the speeches of Cummings and
Crosby were the truly great speeches
of the convention even eclipsing those
of Bryan and Cochran, the old time
orators.

AUTO CROSSED
IN FRONT OF
TROLLEY CAR

Coroner John J. Phelan heard
testimony this morning at a hearing
in regard othe death of Neils Neil
son, of 2S3 Johnson avenue, Stratford,
wsp was killed Saturday afternoon,
when an automobile driven by Alex
ander Masnuson of so William street,
Stratford, collided with a street-car
on Barnum avenue near Sound View
avenue, Stratford.
Leon Stone the motorman on the
injuring car, stated that his car was
going down grade at a moderate
speed, when he came about two feet
to an east bound standing car. AT
that moments an auto truck made a
sharp turn to the left, and stood in
the way of the car. The motorman
claims that he reversed his car and
applied the brakes Immediately. The
conductor on the same car, Henry
Neech, said that he heard the warn
ing gong sounded on his car, as they
came near the east bound trolley.
Testimony was given by f. L. Nor
risey, 16 North Washington avenue,
that as he was sitting in the sixth seat
of the injuring car, he saw the auto
truck coming up the hill, at a rate
of 80 miles an hour. Morrisey claims
he did not see the east bound trolley,
until the collision occurred.
Dominick Salomone, of 246 Jud-
son avenue, who was walking on Bar
mum avenue, said that he saw the
auto truck following the east bound
trolley, and as the vehicle came to
the place of the accident, the driver
swung the truck around to the left,
and there collided with the other
car.
Witnesses generally agreed that the
auto truck was coming up the hill at
a rapid rate of speed, and the driver
not wishing to pass the standing car,
swung around to the left. and in that
way col1ided with the west bound
trolley.
Coroner Phelan reserved his deci-
sion, on the case until later time. AT
present time, the motorman of the
injuring car, Leon Stone, is not being
held by the police authorities.

"The average minister said john

the present day is not practical, it is
not of the sort that the wofkingman
