Nary DeanarO Escapes Injury When Run Over by Automobile
NO ARRESTS ARE MADE

Escaping death by one of those 1hims of Fate which are lllaue manifest from time to time, Mary Deanaro, 10 year old daughter or Mir, and Mrs. Rocco Deanaro or Kensington, was injured slghliS last evening at about 7 O'CLOCK when she was struck by an autono- bi1A onerated by Miss Daphne stay CTS of Park Boulevard, New Britain
 Mary had made some purchases a4 Piedemonte's store on Farming ion road and she was about to cross the street when she wasstruck. MISS Stayers was unable to see the young girl until she was directly in the nath of the car, since a truck hIocked her vision. Mary darted out from the rear of the truck and was struck by the automobile.
 Dr. A. J. Goodwin was summoned and after an examination he an- nounced that she was unhurt be- yond 8. few scratches and bruises. Constable Frank Brown of Berlin was called to the scene and he ln- vcstigated the occurrence, stanng that the accident was unavoidable on the part of Miss Stayers, due 10 the fact that the girl ran from ln back of the truck.
 Had it not been for the fact that Miss Savers had just shifted her car into high speed. 1t is likely that the child would have been seriously injured, if not killed. The machine was not moving at high rate Of speed at the time which accounts for the miraculous escape.
 The Berlin authorities urge parents to impress upon the mind Of their children the importance Of the warnings stop" and 'Look!' Children narrowly miss being struck every day because of the fact that do not look to the left and right, but dar across the street at top speed. trusting to luck that they will reach the opposite side in safe ty. There is great danger on Pennington road and on Berlin street and the authorities point out that children cannot be too careful on these thoroughfares, due to the increasing amount of traffic.

Pctters Disturb Residents

Residents of Blue Hills report that a large number of "petting parties" are being staged along the highways and byways in that part of the town of late.

the Public Utilities Commission from
forcing him to install taximeters on

sion to the effect that orders Of the
Public. Utilities Commission require
ing operators carrying passengers

As null and void.
The court holds: First, that the
orders of the conTrission requiring

void for want Of authority from
Congress.
Second. that the enforcement of
such order will result in an invasion
of property rights.
Third, that the order requiring

Fourth, that the commission is
