TREE BRUSHES AUTO AS FALL GALE R0ARS Two Occupants Escape Serious
 Injury, Car Is Wrecked
 STORM DAMAGE HEAVY
Mrs. Roderick Fl. Morrison Dies at Home of Mrs. Pardon c. Hickey ! After Long Illness - Emerson Case Completes Testimony.

Yesterdays storm wrecked havoc when it visited Berlin yesterday afternoon. Crippling the light and phone service and making many of the highways impossible because of fallen trees, 1t was one of the most damaging storms that has ever visited this town. Several accidents were reported and property damage mounted high as the wind and rain ruined late crops and blew in win dows.
 The storm was responsible for serious accident that occurred on the Berlin turnpike between this town and Hartford yesterday after noon, in which two men were ln- iured and their car demolished. The men were Charles Litman and liar ry Litman, father and son. Of "es- terly, Rhode Island, who were travelling towards New Haven when q large tree by the road side blew over and descended on their car, cutting the machine in half. The occupants of the car escaped death by inches as the trunk of the tree crashed through the roof just behind the drivers seat. They were given first aid at nearby gas station and were later taken to Hartford hospital where it was found that they were suffering from numerous bruises and lacerations about the shoulders. They said that the car vas uninsured and is a total loss.
 A large limb of one of the giant naples that line Berlin street was blown off at about o'clock yester- day afternoon. It landed across the highway and stemmed traffic for a short while until it was dragged to the side of the roadway where 1t now completely blocks the fire hy- drant. Local residents feel that it should be removed as the hydrant is the only one in that locality and in case of fire, a serious situation would develop.
 Another tree Is reported to have been blown over by the tempest on Flannagan's Hill in kensington near the Haines estate, lying across the road and completely blocking traffic for a time. Residents of that sec tion were prevented from reaching their homes until the trunk of the tree was sawed into short lengths and removed from the highway. One car Is reported to have crashed into the tree, being unable to stop because of the slippery condition of the hill as it descended towards the recumbent tree. No serious damage was done to the machine outside of a bent fender and a broken wind shield but 1t necessitated half hours steady work to remove the machine from the debris as a limb had become damned under the au- tomobile.
 All three districts were without light service from 4 o'clock until nearly 9 o'clock last evening. Candles were brought into service in most homes and reports of live wires being brought down by the wind kept most of the residents close to their homes. Telephone service was crippled and was still uncertain at noon today. many lines being out of order because of fallen wires suffered in East Berlin.

W0MAN'S CLUB MUSICALE
Miss Emily Roosevelt Of Stamford Gives Delightful Program at state Normal School Hall

Members Of the Woman's club and their friends listened 10 a de
 ighttul program of songs by Miss Emily Roosevelt of Stamford. yester- day afternoon. The musicale was held at the State Normal school through the courtesy of Marcus White and Of Mrs. Frederick s. Chamberlain. Mrs John c. I.oomis and Mrs. Louis W. Young, members of the club.
 Miss Roosevelt gave four groups Of sonSs-Italian. old and modern; German, old English melodies, and American songs. An interesting fea- ture Of the program was the Eng fish translation given before the ren- dering of each number.
 Miss Rosevelts full, sustained tones and flexibility of voice were displayed to great advantage in the Italian group. In the German songs she was at her best in the appealing lullaby. Maria Wiegenlied," and her dramatic rendering of the fa- miliar "Erlkonig" of Schubert was greatly enjoyed by her audience. AS an encore after this group she sang Fairy Tales in English. The beau- titul Londonderry Air" was charming number, as, in totally diff ferent vein. was the song shepherd Thy Demeanor Vary" arranged by Wilson. One of the most striking songs of the American group was Hills" by Frank La Forge.
 Miss Roosevelt gave two encores in response to the applause at the end of her program, Mary and r. and "Daffodjl Gold" Especial mention should be made Of the artistic work of the accompanist, Miss Lois Birch ard Hedner.
 The stormy weather prevented many from hearing this varied pro- gram of songs gveni by such a tal- ented artist.
