that any contributor can see just
where the money he contributes is
being spent. Each relief case will be

that he hoped the citizens would see
the real need for committee of this
character and that they would not
hesitate to contribute as literally as
they felt able Mr.. Summer further
stated that the work to be done by
this committee would not conflict in
any way with work being done by
any of the churches or organizations,
but on the other hand they would try
to cooperate with them in so far as
possible, and that each organization
and church in the city were invited
and urged to cooperate with this COM

FAVOR DEMOCRAT
 FOR PROSECUTOR
Belief Is That McDonough Could Have Position Provided He Is
 Willing to Accept.

Although he Is of the opposite political faith, at least one alderman and a councilman of the republican party have already come out for and others are quoted as being in favor of the election of Lawyer F. F.. McDonough as prosecuting attorney should the office become vacant by the resignation or impeachment of Attorney Greenberg. Lawyer Mc- Donough is prominent democrat. The council, being to 1 republican. is in a position to restrict the office to that party should it so desire.
 'It's too delicate a subject to even discuss" Lawyer McDonough said when asked how he felt about the office, ''but I would certainly like to see Greenberg declared innocent and back on his job.''
 With the idea that the office will soon be vacant through one means or another, candidates are being rapidly brought to the fore for the vacancy Among those mentioned are: Charles Mitchell, former prosecutor; M. H.
 Camp, assistant corporation counsel; Joseph G. Woods, the present assist ant prosecutor; M. A. Sexton, former l liquor prosecutor, and William M Greenstein, who had been mentioned as a possibility at the time of Green berg's appointment.

NARROW ESCAPE
Four Men Faced Possible Death A
 Main Street Railroad Crossing.

A serious accident was barely ayerted this morning at the Main street railroad crossing. The gates were down to let switching engine pass, and about 40 yards up the track. another one with two freight cars attached to it was coming down on the same track. The crowd of peo- pie were standing inside the gates, and did not see the express train which was coming in full speed from Waterbury. Some of the people who were on the safe side of the gates, cried out to those who were standing on the tracks, and most of them made a dash to safety Four men, however, who were very interested in discussing some affair, seemed not to hear, and it looked as if they would be struck by the oncorning train. The engineer of the express, sensing the situation, gave a blast on his whistle, and the men jumped forward, into the space between the freight and express, safe but badly scared, and not a second too soon.
