 Beturum responded quickly to treat ment and was delivered smiling to his home in less than an hour.

 But the coming to was hell. I was never so deathly i'll in all my life as when the effects of the adrenalin were wearing off"

Orchard Street. (Gasolme Alley)

There's street called Gasoline
 Alley"
 The reason is quite plain to see: Though Orchard" is down In the
 records, It's denuded of every tree. Perhaps in some past generation, Before the swift growth of the
 town. There might have been apples and
 peaches Where now, bricks and mortar
 look down. Perhaps on some moon-lit evening. When Nature has sought her re-
 posc And the township, sleeping serenely, Could nothing unpleasant disclose; With branches laden with globules Of fruit all so luscious and ripe The orchard trees stood. in their
 beauty Of Natures full fruItage, type. Through the years the scene has
 been changing, Until now, the old settler sees, That rows of gasoline buggies Have taken the place of the trees. Where once there was orchard and
 vineyard And fragrance Of flowers most
 sweet. There is now the smell of burned
 gases
 Upon that gasoline street.

RAISE GIVEN NEW
 HAVEN POLICEMEN
First Grade Patr0llnen and Fire.
 men Get Increase Of Sl0O

New Haven, Sept. 5--A flat in crease of S100 per year for first grade policemen and fremen has been voted by the board of finance of New Haven. All members of the police department will have one half the cost of their uniforms paid for by the city and the firemen will receive their rubber equipment free of charge. No other provisions have been made to take care of other members of the departments S outside of the first grade, although 1t is known that they will receive favorable attention.
 The adjustment of fire and police department employees has been one Of the greatest problems to confront the board of finance. The matter has not been settled outside of the fact that the $1oO fiat increase in salary for first grade men of both departments has been granted.
 The Board of Police Commissions were originally petitioned for an in crease Of $1 day for policemen and their officers. It was decided by the board that the men and officers would have to be satisfied with a. smaller amount. It was decided that the members of the department would no longer have to pay the customary two per cent of their wages toward the policemen's retire. ment fund. It was also decided that the city would pay two-thirds of the cost of uniforms worn by the of ficers, captains and sergeants.
 The members of the department were not satisfied with the way in which matters stood. so they peti- toned for another increase a short time ago, this time asking for &. flat increase of five per cent. No announcement regarding the de- cision of the board on this matter has been made.
 Shortly after the policemen asked for a salary increase. the officers of the fire department petitioned their board for a raise. The increase asked by them on the percentn z basis would amount to more than one dollar day. A short time later the firemen asked for flat increase ofonc dollar a day.
 The board took the matter under consideration, together with that of the officers and finally agreed to buy all the rubber goods for the members of the department, abol- ish the two per cent assessment for the pension fund and increase the mems vacation periods from 10 to fl or Is days each year.

HODCARR|ERS IN DERBY ON STRIKE
Action Follows Visit of Labor
 Aeitator From Indianapolis

Derby, Sept. b,-Work upon prac- tically all major building contracts in progress throughout Derby and other sections of the associated com munities where masons and brick layers are employed was last night reported as suspended for an indeh- nite period, due to what employers believe is strike of bod carriers and laborers quickly following ru- mored organization of & union by a walking delegate from Indianap- oils, Id. assisted by two members of New Haven locals.
 Contractors affected state they have received no notification off cially that a union has been organ ized in this section; had received no intimation a strike was likely, and are entirely in the dark as to what their employees want. either in wage increase or an amended time sched- ule. Unofficially. they state. rumors have reached them that labor agi- tators were busy. organization of a union was in progress and members were out for an increased wage.
 Until we know what 1t is all about and what the men want, we can do little but await definite in- formation upon various points in- volved," said Thomas r. Hession of Hession Bros. this city, who have the new Derby high school and three other major contracts under way. He said nothing would be done by the contractors affected over the weekend holidays. any way, and 1t was improbable anything would be done until the men involv- ed saw fit 10 acquaint their em- ployers as to what 1t is all about and the nature Of their demands, provided they have any specific ones. It is quiet season just now. he explained, there are no so-called emergency contracts under way and those for when they are being handled are acquainted with condi- tlplls anu WiilillS to SoDPci 1lS. AA the men who refuse to work con- tinue in their present attitude. sev- eral contractors stated there is likely to be a suspension of work on buildings Involved for an indefinite period, possibly several weeks.
 Mir. Hession said that 52 hod-car- riers and laborers. employed by his firm, about half that number on the high school building. did not work yesterday. He estimated that approximately 90 to 100 men were involved in the supposed strike. Tho first he knew of any trouble, he said, was yesterday morning when men employed on the high school contract appeared upon the scene but did not go to work.

COMMON SENSE ON OUR
 HIGHWAYS

An open letter to the commission
 CT of motor vehicles, Robbins B. Stoeckel.
 Dear Sir
 In order that we may come 10 complete cooperation upon the great question of making our highways safe for humanity and that the read ing public may be fully informed on the question please answer the following questions:
 Regarding the hearing held in New Haven at which several licenses were returned 10 those found guilty of reckless driving and driving while intoxicated.
 Before asking the questions we would say that our idea of common sense is simply that which lies in 1 the nature of the question and also that which the practical spirit of the American mind has worked out to cover such question.
 1. While such hearing is called by that name does 1t not assume the functions of board of pardons? 2. After such parties have been held guilty through all the compleXi- ties and possibilities of escaping in the work of the various departments of the courts, do you think that if ia fair to the public, and the police force that they should be returned to the highways.
 8. So great has been the failure 10 make the highways and public places safe for humanity, much of which is due to the possibility of swift escape by auto, that six of our great commonweaIths are now shooting criminals on sight and the taxpayer after paying for the con- struction of his highways are un- able to use the same, does it seem reasonable to you 10 release such parties? Or do you share in the general distrust of the courts to han dle the situation?
 {. The real spirit of America is practical fair and direct, almost every question that comes up has been or is being handled in a direct manner satisfactory 10 all concerned. And this question is one of them. This is simply a question of hand ling machinery. the distinctive thing in American civilization, with safety 10 human progress and welfare. This has been solved. These are the find ings.
 The New Haven railroad and trol- ley lines. These great companies for years have been handling this oues- ton to the satisfaction of all. They simply discharge both the reckless user of machinery and the intoxi- cated man, never to return. It is more dangerous to life to run an automobile for the run through all our streets, do not make much noise and common sense would say that we ought 10 have equal protection on our highways.
 Further we find on investigation that all our great factories handle the same question. We have looked into the following companies whose systems we recommend for your study The International Silver company of MAriden and walling- ford, the Stanley Works of New Britain, the Chase Metal Works Of Waterbury and the Yale Towne Lock company of Stamford. In fact, so general I found such management that if can be found in any great factory, All of these discharge both the reckless user Of machinery or the intoxicated one never to return, Further this week while waiting for 3 train at Berlin. there was gang of pick and shovel men at work. asked the foreman what he did with

such bad actors, He said that he fired them, but he said that in seven years he cannot remember q man coming on his work drunk for he knew what he would get.
 This is what we mean by Ameri- can common sense and we expect to have 1t on our highways. One of these foremen or employers of labor borrowed from any of our great business concerns would clean up the highways inside of two weeks. The best thing about it is that it sat isfes the guilty parties for they all admit the fairness of it.
