Reckless Walking" Dangers.

N Reckless waking" the other of the two proposals thus far outlined by Com missioner Stoeckel is destined to safe guard not only pedestrians but to pro- tect vehicle drivers from careless pe- destrians in the cities
 T have not particularized that part of the proposal" said Commissioner Stoeckel, nor is it the intention at this time to say that person must cross the street at certain point But what is of great importance is this: At pres ent a reckless motor vehicle driver can be arrested and an outraged pedestrian can have driver punished in court for endangering his life. But there is no redress for an outraged driver who runs his automobile on the sidewalk or up a telegraph pole to avoid hitting a reckless pedestrian.
 Under the circumstances all an out ragged driver can do is to shrug his shoulders and say, Vel, I'm lucky l didn't hit him.. Yet the reckless walker has not only placed his own life. in jeo- pardy but his carelessneSs has endan- gered the lives of others on the road" According to Commissioner Stoeckel, the state should make it a serious Of fense for pedestrians to walk reckicssly on the streets and highways of the state The commiss toner believes that a pc les trian law could be effective.
 T believe the ch efs of police of t!;e state would cooperate with the nfoto: vehicle department in enforcing suclt a l law" said Commissioner Stoecbel w: must give the enforcement authcritie: and the men who drive moto" vehicles power to act in this way t5: the pro lection of lle, limb and property on the public highways.

SUBMARINE BASE SAILORS
 MAY LOSE SHORE JOBS

Enlisted men of the navy holding va rious jobs at the submarine base at Groton may have to give up their jobs June 30, 1921, according to an order from Washington, D. C., recently issued by the bureau of navigation of the navy department
 If they do, it will include those who are employed in garages, as chauf- feurs; in policing buildings and caring for grounds caretakers for vessels out of commission, employees of printin3s of- fees and laundries, and last, but no least, all those holding clerical details at the base.
 There is some doubt. however, in the mind of Commander George Alexander, U. S. N, executive officer at the pase, whether this ruling can be applied to the submarine base, as the base at Gro ton is not considered a shore station, but rather a sub tender, like the Bush nell and Fulton, and is operating on a "seagoing status" This matter has been taken up with the naval authorities in Washington and not until a decision is reached will any action be taken, he said. The order from Washington states particuarly that only enlisted men em- ployed in certain capacities will be withdrawn June 30, 1921.
 It was learned Friday that the enlist ed men holding shore jobs at the Char lestown navy yard, Boston, will be obliged to give them up next summer and many of the men stationed at Mare Island will have to do likewise.
 This action on the part of the navy department is in line with department s policy to reduce to the minimum all en- listed personnel engaged in duties not strictly of a naval character The order does not affect any of tile commission ed officers.

timent,' Commissioner Stoeckel said, we want public sentiment back of us for the welfare of everybody concerned. Walking against traffic on country roads and special pedestrian law affecting cities would mean the elimination of a dozen or more fatal accidents in this state annually Under existing condi- tions every vehicle driver and every pe- dest9ian is bound to be in danger at least once"
 Commissioner Stoeckel declared that the motor vehicle department would bend every effort to prosecute automo- bile truck drivers who persisted in vio- lating the laws relating to proper lights.
 This week five trucks without prop- CT lights have been held up," said the commissioner. The trucks had either no lights or only one light At this time of the year it is very important that both lighs be lit al night Willful neg lect of proper lighting involves accidents and fatalities Tho department will not put up win negligent drivers or tolerate such conditions. There will be sum- mary arrests and prosecutions"

MURDERER RICE GIVEN
 RESPITE TILL, MARCH 9

The execution of George Rice, alias John McHenry. of New London. which was scheduled for Friday at Washington D. C., for the murder of Detective Seret James E. Armstrong and Day1 Mu!care automobile accessory dealer, i1 Wash ington several months ago, has been postponed until March 25. 5nsti,e Gould has granted the respite in order to give counsel for Rice an opportunity to lre- pare a motion for an new trial There is movement on foot among Wash ugtcn charitable organizations, backed by the Prison Welfare association, tG secure a life imprisonment for Rice
 The murder took place il the latter part of last winter Rice walked into Mulcare's store and asked fh- a pain of gloves. As Mulcare was getting the gloves Rice drew a regoiv7r and Ce- manded the money in the casl register Instead of getting the money, Muftare drew a revolver and fired at Rice but the shot went wild Rice. 2roIch;ng te- hind a show case. fired several shots into Mulcares body from which ;he latter died shortly after.
 Rice escaped from the store but was located at the station a short time after. while he was buying a ticket to get out of town by Detective Sergt. Armstrong. The police officer approached Rice with the remark that he wanted to see him, ' 10 which Rice replied by pulling his gun and killing him.
 | Young Rice was convicted of murde: in the first degree at the trial and sentenced to death. A motion for a new trial was denied and December IT was set as the date on which he was to | have forfeited his life.

D., of Yale university and hi stopic will be Why We Honor the Philgrims Another feature of the pro. gramme will be the reading of A Public Letter from the State of Connecticut to the Children of Her Schools" by Miss Clara M. Coe. The letter was written by Governor Marcus H. Holcomb and is as follows
 The state of Connecticut covers a part of what, for some years before 1920, had been known as New England The name Pilgrims" is given to a company of Englishmen who had been political refugees in Leyden, Holland, but in that year left Europe for Ameri- ica Most of them came here mainly to secure liberty to worship God in their own way. The ship that brought them was named the Mayfiower. Before they landed they signed a paper, called the "Mayf1ower compact" Tn it they agreed to constitute themselves a colony, and to enact from time to time just and equal laws as should be thought most for the general good.
 This was the firct government in the history of mankind avowedly founded on the principle that all governments, de- rive their just powers from the consent of the governed-a truth long after wards stated, July f, 1776, in the Dec laration of Independence of the United States.
 The Pilgrims landed on December 21 1920. It was on a rocky shore in what is now known as Plymouth, Massachu- sets. The season was the dead of win ter. The country was owned by Eng land and they were all Englishmen Ii was inhabited only by few red Indi ans, who sold them, from time to time their title to the possession of the lanG along the shore.
 The Pilgrims set up such a government as was described in the Mayfower com pact, and named it the New Plymouth Colony They elected a governor iron among themselves and also assistants fol him.
 In England they had been called Sep aratists," because they had separated | themselves from the established church
