available to Superintendent Hurley at all times. In some instances lately, county detectives and the state police have been working at cross-purposes, and conflict over the possession of ar ticles of evidence has arisen.
 Governor Trumbull said he was de- termined to have cooperation between these two police agencies, both of which are maintained by state funds.
 Governors Letter
 Governor Trumbull wrote States Attorney Searls Wednesday in re- sponse to the latter's notification of his reappointment of County Detect i've Jackson, as follows:
 Replying to your letter of June l6 regarding House Bill No. l05S, pro- viding that the states attorney, with the approval of the governor, may ap- point for any term not exceeding two years. any suitable person or persons to make investigations concerning criminal offenses, it seems to me that under existing conditions the investi- gators of the various counties should work in harmony with the state police department and not against 1t.
 .'ln order to coordinate these two forces, am requesting that the nom- inee become a member of the state po- lice force before giving my approval. Under this arrangement, while the in- vestigator would nominally be a mem- Der of the state police he would be as- signed directly back to special service under your instructions, but the super intendent of state police would have the opportunity of keeping in touch with the situation, which seems to me is most wise.
 Twill you kindly advise me if Mir. Jackson, whom you have nominated, is willing to subscribe to these con- ditions."

 The engine had struck the end of the handcar. but no one was hurt. The section men had reached their shanty, had got of of the hand car and were turning 1t into the shanty when the train arrived. They had not had time to get the hand ear quite clear of the main line when the engine reached that point, but 1t was SC nearly clear of the track that no great damage was done by the collision. A few seconds sooner the hand car and men would have been out on the main line. The incident was of little moment, but 1t gave all who witnessed il thrill and 1t was hairbreadth escape for the section hands who must have misjudg- ed the time of the trains arrival or have forgotten it was due.
