Are we thinking of what we may do
for our country, or of what our coun-
try may do for us?
Our duty to ourselves and our
country requires positive as we'll as
negative action. We must be on
structive. AS citizens Of our country,
do we fulfill the obligations incum-
bent upon us? Do we exercise our
right to vote-and when we do, do
we always place intelligence. eff
cheney and patriotism in government
ahead of every other consideration?
The message which l wish to en-
phasize is a simple truth, n easily
Understood, but one of great impor-
lance, perhaps more important today
than ever before: Wei, as an indi-
vidual-must be responsible for our

There is no substitute for individual
interest In government and Individual

Under cross examina- ton by counsel for Frank J. Gould, Edwin Gould related conferences which he had with MT.

 In addition to the Carnegie Penn sylvania Railroad industrial feud, the historic railroad fight between E. H. Hartman and George Gould In the early part of the present century also entered into the testi- mony. Edwin Gould testified that at the time of the fight, 80 per cent of the Gould lines were singled tracked, r1lballasted and subject to gcat damage in times of storm and flood.
 Reverting to personal affairs of the Gould family, the witness said he had refreshed his memory since testifying previously and declared that the trustees of the estate had given their consent to the second marriage of Anna Gould, now the Duchess De Talleyrand, in accord- ance with the terms of Jay Gould's will.
 MT. Gould contradicted testimony previously given by his sister, Mrs. Sinley J. Shepard. formerly Helen Gould, that their brother, Frank Gould, had made fiat offer of s60 a share for the estates holdings of Missouri Pacific stock. The witness said he was positive no such offer had ever been made.

WORLD WAR VETERAN
 VICTIM OF EXPLOSION
Michael Cronin of Water bury Dies of Burns at
 Hospital

Michael Cronin, 25. World War veteran and active member of the Waterbury post of the American Legion, died shortly after o'clock this morning at the New Britain general hospital. His death resulted from burns about his face and body, suffered when gasoline tank on a truck in which he was going to Hartford to take part in the Armis- tice Day parade exploded as he was filling ir with gasoline by the light of a lantern. The accident occurred near the Clayton, bridge. Y
 The gasoline fumes were ignited by the lantern, and in an instant, Cronin's clothing was a mass of flames. One of his companions suc- ceeded in pulling his sweater up over his head to protect his face while others were extinguishing the flames from his other clothing. When the flames were put out, Cro- min was rushed to the hospital in an automobile owned and driven by Jules Rebillard of 17 Amherst street. but on arrival at the hospital, an examination showed that there was no hope for his recovery. ..
 Suffering terrible pain, Cronin re- ceived what treatment he could for his wounds at the hospital and was given the, last rites of the Catholic church by Rev. Michael Heating, as- sistant pastor of St. Joseph's church.
 Cronin lived at 563 N. Main street, Waterbury, and was a member of a party of Legionnaires who were on their way to Hartford to participate in the parade there. The truck in which they were riding passed through this city shortly after 6 o'clock. It was made up to repre- sent 8 French troop train, consist ing of an engine, a box car and an armored tank. The, float has been used extensively about the state in parades in connection with the work of the 40 hommes and chevaux," :" an organization made up of members of the American Legion.
 The "englne" of the train ran out of gasoline when the party arrived at a point about quarter of a mile past Clayton crossing in Newington. A reserve supply of gasoline was carried and it was while Cronin was filling the tank of the machine from the reserve supply that the fatal &C., cident occurred.
 Traffic on the road was held up at a safe distance from the burning float, members of the party fearing that there would be another explo- sion.
 State police were on the scene shortly after the explosion, having been notified by Lieut.. Samuel Bam- forth of the local police depart ment.

 BY INSANE BROTHER -IN- LAW
JUDGE DISCOVERS FIRE IN OFFICE CLOSET B. w. filling Calls Out De- >partment and Loss Is
 Kept Down

Timely discovery of blaze in closet in the rear of his office this morning by Judge Benjamin W. All- ing Is believed by Chief William J. Noble of the fire department to have kept the damage from the blaze to the comparatively small figure of about $2,000. The fire was in the partition in the rear of Judge filings office in the building at PIT Main street and was discovered by him when he arrived at the office about S:15 o'clock.
 A still alarm was sent in to fire headquarters and Engine Go. I re- sponded, but on arriving at the scene and discovering that the blaze was in the partitions, an alarm from Box 14 was sounded calling additional apparatus. The walls were chopped through and a line of hose was turn ed onto the blazing partitions.
 The building was filled with smoke when the fire apparatus ar rived, but the blaze was soon To- cated and put under control. Chief Noble investigated and learned that the closet in which the fire started was used by the janitor of the build ing for a storeroom for supplies and other articles. The blaze had been smouldering for some time, accord ing to the chief, as it had eaten its way through heavy boarding on the wall. Spontaneous combustion of some of the cleaning fluid was attributed as the cause, of the blaze.
 Smoke entered the lodge rooms on the third floor and did damage es- timated at several hundred dollars to equipment of George Washington commandery and also damaged equipment of New Britain camp, F. o. S. of A. Gold and silver braided work and flags and pennants were discolored in each instance. It is also believed likely that the Q. U. A. M, Maccabees and other frater- nal organizations who use the meet ing hall and store equipment in lock- CTS will report damage

The judge ordered the jury dis charged.
 The trial was completed late yes- terday. after Ponzi, acting as his own counsel, had summed up his case. and was given to the jury with instructions to return a sealed ver- dict at the opening of court today. The indictment originally had five counts but Judge Bishop instructed the jury to find a verdict of not guilty on one on which the state had not introduced evidence.
 Ponzi in his closing argument em- phasized that the jury must not only find that money was misappropriat< ed But that there had been intention from the outset to inappropriate 1t. He reminded the jury that he had already served a term of imprison- ment after conviction in federal court on similar charges. He also declared that while four years ago he had $9.0oo,O0o, at present he was too impoverished to retain a lawyer for his defense. The indictment was based on complaints of Ponzi clients involving $10,8o0...
