Saturday Night Auto
Mishap.

Louis Spindler was arraigned in po-
lice court this morning before Judge
George w. Klett on charges of oper-
ating q motor vehicle reCklessly and
while under the influence of liquor. A
500 penalty was eXacted on the sec

scented by Lawyer T. f. McDonough.
Prosecutor Joseph G., Moods pre-
scented the States case.
The machine driven by Spindler

with Harold Odin's car on Kensing
ton avenue shortly after 6 o'clock.
After an investigation, Sergeant
George c. Ellinger arrested the ac-
cused. Odin's car was damaged, the
left front fender being smashed.
The accident happened about 100
yards south of the fire house In front
of the Peterson home. Odin was
driving in a southerly direction and

RAILROADS CARRIED
1864 PASSENGERS
80 Special Trains Needed to Accom-
mOdate Crowds at New Haven
On Saturday.

New Haven. Nov. 14.-Football sta
tistics of the Yale and Princeton
game here Saturday are not complete
without the transportation figures, a
portion of which are provided by the
passenger department of the New
Haven railroad. A total of 4S,654
passengers were handled into and out
of New Haven Saturday, an increase
of LILY over the traffic of the pre-
viOus Princeton game two years ago.
OF the total, 23,179 passengers came
in and 25,475 passengers went out.
Thirty-two special trains, including
that of Marshal FOCh, were handled.
This required a movement of 419
cars, 26 electric locomotives and 22
steam engines with II engines at way
points for emergency and assistance
for handling traffic into New Haven,
476 cars, "a electric locomotives and
"a steam engines for the return traf-
fc.
The New Haven police and hospital
reports show less than half dozen
minor accidents in spite of an i'm
menSe volume of street traffic all
day and well into the evening. The
accident in each instance was due to
an automobile. Taking into consid-
Grafton the thousands of automobiles
used for transportation it is estimat-
ed that at least three-fourths of the
$4,000 persons in the Bowl Saturday
came into the city. Aside from the
college body mparatively few city
residents were at the game.

PTS MORE PUPILS
ATTEND 2 SESSIONS
Opening of Nathan Hale school This
Morning Returns Pupils of Two
Buildings 10 Full Time,

With the opening today OF the new
Nathan Hale school on fremont
street, 2,175 pupils who have been
attending school but half a session a
day will return to full time sessions.
This leaves but $50 school children
on the ono session plan, These pupils
are at the Bartlett school which is
now overcrowded and for the relief
of which it is planned to purchase
a school site in the northwestern sec
tion of the city, a building to be
erected as soon as possible.
The school committee entertained
hopes of having the school in readi-
ness for use at the opening of this
school year and pupils were assigned
to attend classes in that building.
When it was found impossible to fol-
low out this plan, those who had
been assigned to the new building
were transferred to afternoon classes
at the Smallcy school. The regular
Smalley school pupils were assigned
to morning classes
The new building is of tireproof
construction and designed according
to the latest dictates in the building
of schools. 1t has a gymnasium and
auditorium. The original appropria-
ton was 100000 less than was found
necessary to complete the building
this being due to a shrinkage in the
market value of the bonds issued for
the building.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL
PLAN IS ADVANCED
DR.. r. NJ. Griswold Expresses Belief
That City Could Prof tably HaTdle
Collections Throughout City.

Discussing the collection and dis
posal of garbage and refuse, which
has for several years been one of the
city's most serious problems, DR.. r.
NJ. Griswold has the following to say
in the current issue of the health
board bulletin:
1T is time that sanitary engineers
and municipal officials took up an en-
tensive study of the collection and
disposal of the wastes and refuse of
their individual cities. Nearly all
thickly populated towns of 10000 or
more should be able to salvage their
garbage waste and refuse at a profit,
even though small, and should not be
obliged to pay the large sums that
they now do for its improper collec-
ton and generally unsatisfactory dis
posal.
The proper disposal of these
wastes should be viewed from the
points of sanitation, economy and en-
pedienCy
In the matter of cost must be

practically nothing now that goes
into the town and city dump can be
called waste" If It can be collected
in quantity sufficient to warrant the
maintenance Of a plant for separation
and utilization, and everything not
otherwise useable can be incinerated

LITTLE TAX FROM
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Building Operations This Year Will
Not Assist in Keeping Grand List
From Dropping This Year

In support of the belief that the
grand list this year will run below
last years mark, city officials have
pointed out that a large portion of
this years building is represented in
non taxable interests. Building oper-
ations from one year to another are
one of the big factors in keeping the
grand lists growing.
Included among the items which
have boosted the building figure to
more than a million dollars in six
months, are the new Nathan Hale
school for which 100000 was spent;
the nurses home at the hospital; st.
Marks Episcopal church on West
Main street, and several smaller
structures.
Much of the building under the
school boards extension plans will be
carried out this year, all of which
will be non-taXable.

duct of the strike.
All efforts at arbitration of the is

conciliate employers and workers.
Louis Lustig, president of the
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers
Protective association in a statement
last night charged the union workers
with failing to aid the employers in
their efforts to increase production
and thus lower prices on women's
clothing. The strikers in turn
charged the employees with violating
a trade agreement which left the ses-
sion of working conditions to a by
partisan commission which was to
have reported November /. The piece
work system means a return of the
"sWeatshop" they declared.
Union leaders declared last night
that the workers finances are in ex-
cellent shape. In preparation for
five months struggle, they said they
would seek to raise 100000 fund
for relief of the strikers and their
families, Officials of the amalgamat-
