Robert Murray of New Britain, whc has been motorman on the Connec- ticut company lines in Berlin for the past 12 years, will leave the local lines as soon as the one man cars arc put in operation. He will hereafter take city runs in New Britain.
 Mir. Murray is one of the best known motormen on tho lines of the Connecticut company. During the time spent in Berlin he has become well acquainted with local people, and to many he is known as Bob" .n- stead of Mr. Murray. -. ..
 Tn relating his experience on the Berlin lines, MT. Murray said this morning that he will greatly miss the Berlin people, whom he has come 10 know so well. Many of his best friends have been made while he was mo- torman on the Berlin line, he paid.
 When he first started to operate troleys in this town the single truck cars, similar to those being run on the East Main street line in New Britain, were in use. There was q stretch at Towers corner and the cars ran through to the end of East Main street. Later the Berlin trolleys ran to the north end of the town, and q few years ago the local line was made a single branch and the cars turned at the triangle in New Britain.
 Traffic Heavy.
 According to MT. Murray, traffic was much heavier on the trolleys eight and ten years ago than it is at the present time. He said that the people were more content in those days with the trolley as a means of conveyance and that the automo- bile has had some effect on the mum Der of passengers riding.
 He also recalls the days of the Der lin fairs when it was necessary to op- crate extra trolleys to care for the huge crowd which usually attended these affairs.
 School Tardy Campaign.
 During the past month anti tardy campaign" was held at all of the Berlin schools. This campaign will continue for another month.

WASHINGTON. d. C.-The use
Of lethal gas as a means OF execut-
ing prisoners does not appear to De
a progressive step in dealing with
criminals, in the opinion OF DR.. Earl
budding, head Of the Prisoners Re-
lief Society.
DR.. budding is opposed to the
| death penalty in any form ON the
| ground that it is inefficient-that IL
does not prevent crime nor reform
criminals. Minnesota, without cap
ital punishment, has less crime than
any other state. he says. But there
are only a few states where the
| death penalty is abolished, and I'M
| til it is generally abolished, says DE-:
! budding. we should use methods OF
execution which Will least dlscreoit

Details Of executions by the state
| are unpleasant and, therefore, 1t
seems people know comparatively
little about them. They assume that
electrocution is swift and painless.
1t has a modern, efficient sound and
it has supplanted death by hanging
in a number Of states.
DIR. budding has personally made
tests at prison executions, and he
finds that contrary to general opln-
ion the most humane method of ex-
| ecution in use is hanging. That is,
| hanging is less painful to the con-
demned man than electrocution, n
| all things considered, would proba-
bly, be far less of an ordeal than
| the gas method which n state Is
to try out in April.
Death by hanging" DR.. budding
| explained, "is usually instantaneous.
Where death does not take place at

Inconsistencies. The preparations
at the scaffold take about a minute.
Several men are there, each ready

Mistake
Thirteen years ago a man was
hanged. He had been convicted of
numbering a game warden near
New Castle. Pa. =
Now it Is believed that the wrong
man went to the gallows. New evil
dence has led to swearing out of a
warrant charging another man with
the murder.
You have often wondered if such
things ever really happen. The New
Castle case is Exhibit A for people
who believe in life imprisonment in
stead of the death penalty.
Non-union mines can furnish
the country with 100000 tons of
ers walk out April i.
This Is the estimate by J. ID. a.
Morrow, official Of the leading asso-
citation of coal operators.
Morrow says a coal strike could
last several months without serious
ly mountaineering consumers. This
isn't so. Country is burning coal
now at the rate Of 100000 tons a
week. BY April consumption will
require at least 5000, 900 tons.
Even IL the shortage were only
$4,000 tons a week, buyers would bid
against each other. A runaway
market would result.
Idle
Coal miners put forth a new idea
in the matter-o of pay. They say, what
they get a day doesn't count that
they are idle part of the time, so
their compensation should be on a
basis to insure them a fair income
for the whole year.
Since 1899, coal miners have
worked an average Of about 220
days a year. Sundays and holidays
must be added. This leaves. roughly,
