FAILS IN DYING
 PLEDGE TO ARISE
Leading "HoIy Rollers" Brethren Dig Up Body to Give Him Chance
 to Make Good

10 Mdke SrOOO
 Lexington, July 22.-Hundreds of Holy Rollers in Garrad and neigh boring Kentucky Counties were bitter ly disappointed last night. Andrew Singleton, until three months ago one of their most dependable members. has failed to keep his word. It was probably not Singleton's fault, but that will never be known for certain.
 Three months ago Singleton died. Before his demise he called his faith full wife, imparted to her news of his impending passing, and told her he was coming back. He exacted a promise from Mrs. Singleton, with other Rollers standing by more or less awestricken, that she would, as soon as three months had expired, have his body exhumed. This done, the dying man told his wife and the other Rollers that he would arise from his coffin and walk.
 The three months went by and Mrs Singleton kept her word. Calls went out to Holy Rollers within a wide area, and all who could went to the cemetery. Husky members piled shovel and pick. The coffin was re- vealed. There was certainly no sign of life there. The coffin was opened, and it was also quickly closed.
 Many of the Rollers now believe Singleton will appear from the spirit world

rode over the streets named would never forget New Britain. Council members wondered as to whether it would be advisable to send traffic through streets where there are so many children.
 Alderman Paonessa's amendment to indefinitely postpone the matter was lost. He explained that reference to the public works board would be ''only a waste of time.''
 A recommendation was received from the City Hall commission to or der the tenants in Washington Place properties out of city property to avoid payment of the expense of re- pair. Chairman F. H. Afford ex plained the orders of the health de- partment. In one of the leases con- sidered the lessee would build $25.- 900 structure that would revert back to the city in 25 years.
 Pannessa Makes Statement
 Alderman Paonessa regretted the action of the health department in ordering the place closed. He felt that other properties were in a worse condition. Council members favored the continuance of the matter for one week so that members might in- vestisate. personally.
 After lengthy discussion the mayor was empowered to appoint a committee of three to investigate and report back to the council.
 A resolution was offered to have the mayor appoint a committee of five to go over the rent proposition to determine the number vacant. the number to be built and collect other data by the cooperation of any city rT,k, %~ be given s200 for expenses. The resolution was adopted in spite of Councilman Gorbach's objection to the money end of the matter.
 Gasoline Restrictions
 The appointment of a committee of five to investigate gasoline storage about the city was authorized. Al derman GDpatric spoke of the dan gers of gas storage with no restric- tions.
 To Regulate Jitneys.
 The following resolution was of fered by Councilman Gorbach: To His Honor the Mayor and the
 Common Council of the City of
 New Britain:
 Whereas competition between pub lie service motor vehicles and the trolley companies has become acute
  is becoming acute in the City of New Britain, and
 Whereas the trolley companies are being forced out of business in the state for lack of acts of the legisla- ture sufficient to enable the cities to protect them, and
 Whereas it would be an injury, it is considered, to this city and to the state if the trolley companies were compelled to suspend operations. and
 Whereas there are other vital ques. tions at issue, which should be acted upon at tbis time, such as the hous- ing problem and woman suffrage, therefore
 Be It Resolved, That it is the sense of this body that a special session of the legislature should be called to act on these questions. and
 Further Be It Resolved, That the Governor of the State of Connecticut be requested to call a special session of. the legislature and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the gover nor of the state by the city clerk.
 After a brief discussion the reso- lution was tabled indefinitely.
