The service was held at TO-: 80 A. NJ,

seen to settle back into his safety
belt His left foot was in contact
with the telephone comoany's under
ground cable and when he touched
the lamp socket, the current passed
and to the ground, killing him in
stantly. He was Immediately taken
down from the pole and carried into
the telephone Office nearby where
the doctors and nurses worked over
him for several hours attempting to
revive him. But evidently he was
dead when taken down and their ef-
forts We're of no avail.
MIR. Dion failed to wear rubber
gloves, although there were two pairs
of rubber gloves in the automobile
at the foot of the pole where he was
working and he was also careless in
allowing his foot to, come in contact
with the telephone cable.
THE leather gloves, which he wore,
were absolutely no protection to him,
but had he been protected by the
rubber gloves, this accident could not
have occurred. 1t is also probable
that no serious shock would have
been sustained, even without the rub
Der glove protection, if he had not
come in contact with the wire cable.
1.-THE death of Mr.. Dion was ap-
parently caused by his own negli-
gence in failing to take proper pre-
cautions to protect himself in stu
alton which he must have known to
be extremely hazardous.
1--WE have had occasion to consider
several fatal accidents caused, as in
this instance. by the failure of the
workman to properly protect himself
by wearing rubber gloves. While the
rule relative to their use exists. and
has usually been called to the work.
mans attention, apparently no suf-
ficient effort has been made to en-
force this rule. The rule should not
only be called to the attention of
every workman, but the workman
ought to be absolutely forbidden to
engage in this kind of work without
having the necessary and required
protection.
1--WE desire to call the attention Of
this and other electric companies to
this situation. and we urge upon all
such companies the Importance of
seeing that this and other rules rela :
tive to the safety of their worI.men is
rigdly enforced"

Lady Played the
Maid to Get BOarders

Few pictures that have come to the
screen in recent months have had
more interesting and convincing
local color than Room and Board,
starring Constance Binney, which
will be seen at the Colonial theatre
today.
This Realart picture is a story Of
Irish life. Miss Binney having the role
Of an impoverished noblewoman. and
the scenes, whether in the heroine's
ancestral castle or in the quaint Irish
village, are charming and unusual
even for this day of elaborate and
expensive film settings. The Irish
village, especially, is a real master
piece of picture production.
The plot concerns the efforts of the
orphaned Lady Noreen to save her
home from creditors by leasing it to
a wealthy American and posing as
one of the servants herself, telling
her tenant that the Lady Noreen is
travelling in France.
Constance Binney as the dauntless,
fun-loving, poor but always human
Lady Noreen is a delightful heroine
and Tom Carrigan makes a satisfac-
tory hero. The rest Of the cast is
we'll chosen. and the numerous extras
employed to add life and color to the
village scenes are carefully selected
and costumed, so that the atmosphere
of the picture is as nearly perfect as
could possibly be achieved
Another feature for today will be
the presentation of Going Straight"

grams will be more interesting than
