Serious Wreck.
 Barely Averted

Wallingford, March IA serious wreck on the New Haven" road was narrowly averted early last night by prompt action of the engineer of train No. 64, leaving New York at 6 o'clock and due in Springfield at 10.1o o'clock A large railroad tie, placed on the tracks a few hundred feet beyond the Wallingford station, in the vicinity of the section house, was the cause of the incident.
 The train. in charge of Conductor John Jenkins, carried in addition to passengers, a large assignment of mail. At 8:32 o'clock, after leaving the local station, the engineer de- tected in the strong rays of the head light the tie directly in the path of his train. As he was just getting under way the speed of the train was not great, and by immediate ap- plication of the emergency brakes. was brought to a stop a few feet from the obstructing tie. Had tho train been travelling at a faster rata of speed a serious wreck would have resulted.

HOW THE OWLS
 WE'RE ORGANIZED

The beginning is written in the Niles. (TdIch.) Star, Nov q, 1904, in the following catching editorial:
 "A few fellows-good fellows-got together, had a talk Then g few other fel1ows-good fellows-joined them. That was in South Bend There was Jno. w. Talbot wit, lectur- CT, lawyer; Geo. Beroth, whose ears have a knack of turning to fellows with trouble; J. Lott Losey was one of them and Frank Dunbar, who said, Good fellows always die It's prov ed-he's dead. J. W. Hi1l, celebrated as physician and philosopher, joined the company, and there were others They were the nucleus. There was no attempt to build a society. This great modern fraternity was not made or organized. It happened-came about. It was the result of the at- traction of fellows by other fellows, force that has made many lodges and has members in all the states That's the Order of Owls. It's the outgrowtI of the best, the result of the evoIu- ton of men who love, laugh and en- joy life as it flies, who help the sick bury the dead, brighten dark mo- ments, light up gloomy places. Some are not Saints. None are in Potters' Fields. County Shrouds or Poor Houses. None are hungry. They do good, speak kindly, shake hands warmly and respect the honor of their women. They are the ORDER OF OWLS

Park City Goal
 In Jewish Drive
 Is $5O,OOO Quota

Creating credit facilities which will enable scores of thousands who have been on the "bread-1ine'' in, Poland to become self-supporting is one of the projects depending on the success of the appeal issued by the merican Jewish Relief committee. 'and the campaign to raise S50,00O in Bridge port which will begin on next Sunday. The money is being raised in answer to the pleas of 300,000 people suffer- ing from Starvation and epidemics.
 Before the war these were a fine, upstandIng people who met their own problems and maintained their own educational and philanthropic insti- Iuuons. Since 191 4they have been in tho bread-Hne: they have depended on the soup kitchens; they have been uproote6 from their native heaths fortunes of war either against Ger many or against the BolSheYiks The terrible aftermathS of the war have robbed them of their possessfons-the merchants of his wares, the artisan of his tools and their homes have been burned down over the heads.
 One of the many Jews of Bridge port who is determined to see this city reach its quota of $50,O0O toward the S14, 100000 national fund in Rabbi S. Margolis of the Park Avenue Tenn Die. Rabbi Margolis today chose The Times through which to issue the fol- lowing appeal for support of this cam paign by all Jews:
 'Brid geport's goal is s5O.OoO. and as much more as We can get To raise this amount of money we will need tfe services of every Jew worthy of the name And, in addition, we will have to have an outpouring of gem erosity as from a mighty Niagara livery Jew is expected to contribute Eoerally to this cause''

 Here Tomorrow

Prof. Hugh Black. D. D.. of New York, known to Bridgeporters as most delightful lecturer, will speak on America Through Scottish Eyes" at the First M. E. church. Broad street and Fairfield avenue, at o'clock to- morrow night.
 Dr. Black was born in Scotland and lived there until 1906, when he came to New York and became professor in Union Theological seminary. He has a very pleasing personality and his description of American fofbles proves extremely entertaining to his auditors.
 For 16 years he was pastor of St Georges Free church, Edinburgh. one of the most famous churches in Scot land. He is the author of many books, his most popular being ''F'riendship.'' The church is fortu- nate in getting him for this 1ecturr as he doesn't care to lecture mutn now His drol humor and true humanity make him a speaker we'll worth hearing.
 This bs the fourth in a series of en- tertainments given by the church, and those who have heard the able speak CTS who preceded Dr. Black will not miss hearing this eminent educator.

AtWater.

Claiming that he did not intend to Se 'rubber stamped" and that in his opinion the place to settle matters that affected the Police Department was at the meeting of the Police Com n1issioners, Commissioner T. J. Pardy caused quite a. furore at last nights meeting of the board by stating that he did not think the affairs or the Police Department should be settled in the mayors office.
 At the time he was referring to an article in a local paper stating tna1 at a. meeting between Commissloners Ea1ffoun and Ryan and Mayor FTeo Atwater it was decided to abolish the Fourth precinct. After hurried ex- plantation by President Calhoun that fhe meeting was in no way a political caucus and was purely 3. meeting al which members of the board were called in to talk over in business manner the affairs of the Police De- partment, the meeting went on unln- terrupted.
 It was voted at the meeting to ap-- point Miss Alma Munich of 424 Stratford avenue, as telephone opera for at Police Headquarters to take the s5face of a sergeant and doorman now acting in that capacity.
 It was also voted to hold a public hear ring on the matter of abolishment

CONCRETE SHIP TO BE
 CONVERTED INTO PIER

Washington, Mar. At least one good use has been found for the fla nous concrete vessels developed dur ing the war and which have disap peared from public notice since.
 The concrete tank steamer Selma, badly damaged in Mexican waters some time ago, may become a pleas ure palace, it was learned from the Shipping Board today. It Is intended to beach the huge bulk on Pelican Is- land, Galveston, Texas, where St4e will be out of the way of navigation. Af- ter this is done there is a proposal from Galveston to convert the hulk into a pleasure pier. Picnic parties and anglers are expected to make 1t a favorite resort.
 This plan was adopted after other projects seemed to be impracticable. It was too badly damaged to make it break up.
