No report was made until the money was in and tho S2Sl93 Is all in cash and represents no promises.
 Auto Has Close Call
 An autoist coming from New Britain had narrow escape from Snrions injury and possible death ms morning when he failed 10 mo- lire that the East Main street rail. road crossing gates were being low cred and was barely able to stop his machine. Another car had stopped at the crossing as the gates were let down, and this hid the gaiomon from the view of the on- coming machine, which was travel ling at a fairIy fast rate.
 At the last moment the driver saw the falling gates and applied his brakes. The machine skidded on the wet pavement, swung sidewiso across the road, and finally came 10 rest across the road and up against the gate.
