The North Pond, street crossing in Bristol was the scene Of a collision that all but resulted fatally, oppo- sition to removal Of the crossing by construction of an overhead bridge probably will be less as the result Of the smash. Sometimes 1t takes acci- dents 10 emphasize danger and the Bristol crossing, in the opinion of some residents, has had it's share and is entitled to be eliminated. These say it will be done ultimately, and may as well be done now.

JERSEY REPUBLICANS
 GET INTO SQUABBLE
Objection Voiced to Linking Name of Senatorial Candidate With
 Coolidge Dawes.

Trenton, N. J., July 23.-E. Bcr-
 tram Mott, Morris county clerk and member of the republican state committee. today made public an in- teresting exchange of letters between
 himself and former Governor E. C.. Stokes, chairman of the G. o. P. state committee.
 The letter writing was begun by MT. Mott who was prompted, he said, by the report that plans were afoot for the formation of Coolidge Dawes Edge clubs" Considering that it was unfair to draw the names of Coolidge and Dawes into the senatorial pri- mary he asked the opinion of MT. Stokes.
 "Mr Kean is standing on his own legs and running on his own plat. form," says q letter from Mir. Mott. Why should not Mir. Edge do ths same?"
 The reply of Mir. Stokes admits that he has heard reports of an attempt to link the national ticket with the pri- mary contest, but his information, he declares, was to the effect that it was "Kean-C Coolidge Dawes clubs that were being discussed. He has heard nothing, it is stated, of the Edge Coolidge-Dawes" organizations and asks MT. Mott If he knows of any that have actually been formed.
 q, with you, deplore any attempt to draw Coolidge and Dawes into the contest, or any other con- test" says Mir. Stokes. AS chairm" n of the state committee, I am for the ticket and cannot participate in these primary contests. I don't think that either Mir. eKan or Senator Edge should form such clubs nor do think they should call meetings to boom Coolidge and Dawes and then turn it into primary forums

STAR GAZING
MT. SOusa Passes By

Sitting in his room at the famous Willow Grove (Pennsylvania), resting after concert, John Philip Sousa grew reminiscent and told Us a story about his little daughter. Priscilla.
 Mrs. Sousa had brought the children up with strict observance of the Sabbath. One Sunday afternoon little Priscilla ran breathlessly to her father and said: Father, isn't it sin to jump rope on Sunday"
 Tt is generally classed as such," said Mir. Sousa.
 "I know it is," said Priscilla. Birdie Wilson says it isn't a sin but I say 1t is" continued the daughter.
 Your mother thinks it is said the famous bandmaster.
 'I know it is' asserted Priscilla. Its funny, isn't 1t; Birdie is eight and I am only five and I know more about sin than she does"

PRICE SYSTEM UNFAIR
Pittsburgh Plus System of Fixing Steel Prices Also Adjudged Viola ton of the Clayton Act.

Washington, July 2S. The Pitts burgh plus system of determining steel prices is held by the federal trade commission to be not only an unfair method of competition but a violation of the Clayton act in that it is a means of price discrimination.
 In an order directing the United states Steel Corp. and it's subsidiaries to abandon the system, by which rolled steel products shipped from various points are quoted at the Pitts burgh base price plus freight charges from that city to destination. the commission asserts that it Is method of price fixing not found on the law of supply and demand Operation Of the system, the commission adds, tends to retard the steel business in all centers except Pittsburgh, to lesen and eliminate competition, and to increase costs to consumers to an amount that reaches s30,000,000 year in the case of farmers in all western states alone.
 The corporation and it's subsidiaries are required by the order to list the transportation charge separate from the steel price in future quotations

RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE,

RAILROAD CROSSINGS.

New Britain suffers from several railroad crossings that are a source Of constant inconvenience 10 the pub lie, but the crossing over the New Haven at Main street is the worst. Yet, according to J. J. Snavely, su- perintendent of the Waterbury divi- sion of the Now Haven railroad, 1t would be very difficult to eliminate this crossing.
 Mir. Snavey may be prejudiced in favor of his railroad. and again he may not During recent visit to New Britain he gave the impression of absolute sincerity when he men tioned to the Herald that the elimi- nation of this crossing would be ex- ceedingly difficult. if the matter ever were seriously considered,
 If the tracks at this crossing were eliminated from the street grade by lowering or elevating the railroad, what of the industries spread along the right of way? Mir. Snavely in ouired. It would be possible to elimi- nate the grade crossing in this fash ion, if the railroad ever had enough money for the purpose, he intimated, If 1t were not that the numerous in- l lttst ptn NtsIt t.b al il.l right of way would be left without them unless these spurs, too, were depressed or elevated to conform to the new level of the tracks.
 'Th only way in which the tracks could be lowered or elevated would be to do away with the industries along the tracks," according to Mir. | snavely. But, such a solution of the | problem has not, is not and will not | be considered, Ii is utterly imprac- | ticable. The industries are there to stay.
 Opinions may differ as 10 the method Of solving the crossing diff cuty, and we are satisfied 10 inject one opinion into the discussion for what it may be worth. That is, that when the time for such action is op- portune, the r4ilroad has the money, tine city ia willing 10 help, and the public service commission approves, that the tracks be elevated for pas senger and through freight service, while a the same tune a track re- main on the street level for the bonc- fl Of the factory spurs. Freight to and from the factories occupies the attention Of yard engines along the western portion Of the track only small part of the time, and the main trouble. at the crossing at present | caused by passenger and freight trains to and from the switch Ing yard beyond the station. or course, 4 new station would be nee 'ssary. and ultimately this will come. If 1t is ever decided to const ruct an- other station 10 lake the place Of the present building the job would be in. unIess some provision were made 10 eliminate he inconvenience $ ind dangers incident 10 the present 5 dsin street crossing. |
 | Another opinion is to the effect that | he present station should be aban- V toned and one constructed on the ! main line between Berlin and Spring. ield. This opinion has some backing n the city, some observers believing q hat new station should be con- V tructed on the main line in the east ' rn end Of the city.
