PREFERS RED FLANNELS
 TO COTTON UNDERWEAR
This Is One Southern Girls Response To Plea For Aiding the
 Cotton Growers.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 16 R-Wo- mems rights have apparently assum- ed some of the old significance of states right in the southland. The suggestion that women wear cotton clothing to alleviate distress of the farmers and create a demand for Dixie's chief agricultural product has created a heated controversy as to what sacrifices loyalty demands Varying opinions are expressed. Friends and families are divided. Agitation has been created to have the debuntante clubs and the junior league pass resolutions on the ques- ton.
 Miss Idolene Lewman, member of Atlanta's social set, is quoted as be- ing "tickled to death" with the idea of cotton stockings. T think they'd make onderful hit with the boys, she said. "They'd know you weren't extravagant and that as wife you'd cost less. And, really the under things would be awfully warm and protecting in cold weather"
 Miss Yolande Gwin takes an op- posing view. Why. I'd rather wear red fannels," she sd. And stock ings? IT much rather go bare legged. I'm afraid all I can con- tribute to the farmers will be little cotton handkerchief"

That Mildred Martino. 1 , year old Cleveland street girl who is thought to have eloped Saturday with Angelo Martino, 21 year old neighbor. is out of Connecticut with the young man. is the information obtained by the police late last night when Police man William Grabeck and John Liebler were notified by the girls Joseph Dollorso of 190 Cleveland street and Charles Capolo of Lawlor street.
 Shortly before midnight, accord ing to the boy, an automobile in which the two men were riding. stopped in front of the Martino home Tiptoeing into the yard, they aroused the girls father by knocking at a window. and called to him request for his consent to the mar riage of the reported elopers. Be- fore the girls father had time to reach the yard, the men left.

ECLEC7ICS CARRYING
 ON LEGAL STRUGGLE Now Question Rights of Hundreds of Other
 Doctors to Practice

Bridgeport, Conn, Nov. 16 lPl-A mandamus action affecting the H. censes of 1,400 to 1,5OO Connecticut physicians, including all doctors of the allopathic, homeopathic and eclectic schools licensed to practice in this state between January 1, 1918 and February 1, 1923. is being pre- pared by Attorney w. r. D. Kil- patrick, counsel for group of eclectic physicians whose right to practice in this state was challenged in the sweeping eclectic investigation of two years ago.
 According to Attorney Fitzpatrick the mandamus action will ask phy- sicians who received their state li- censes between the dates specified to show cause why their licenses should not be recalled. Attorney Fitzpatrick contends that Attorney General Frank F. Healy has ruled that doc tors who have not graduated from schools included in the list of ap- proved schools filed with the state department of health, are not legal ly entitled to practice in the state. Fitzpatrick claims that not only the Eclectic society but the Homeopathic and Allopathic societies failed to file with the state department of health the required lists of approved schools and colleges during the period speci- fled and therefore there is a cloud on the licenses of all doctors admitted to practice from January 1. 1918 to February 1, 1923.

JEROME ST. LINE FACES BANKRUPTCY
Owner and Accountant Explain
 Situation to P. U. (.
MAY CHARGE ' CENT FARE
Loss Over Route in Past 10 Months Reported to Be $1,951-Weld Warns Against Creating Situation Which Would Offset Service.

The need for more revenue on the Jerome street bus line was ad- mitted this morning by Chairman Richard T. Higgins of the public utilities commission after an ac- countant had presented a financial statement to support his claim that the line is "on the verge of bank ruptcy."
 William H. Day, accountant for Fred Romani, operator of the line, presented the petitioners case, Romani coming to the hearing with out an attorney. The statement shown by Day indicated a net oper- ating loss on the bus route of $1,- 951.S7 in the last 10 months. He declared the bankruptcy court is the only alternative if Romani is not granted an increase.
 Mayor Weld and Senator Hall were present and both spoke briefly each urging that nothing be done by the commission to remove from the northwestern section of the city the service that Is now given by Romani's line.
 Weld Has Open Mind
 Mayor Weld said he came to the hearing neither to condemn nor to condone the proposed increase from six to eight cents in fare. He pointed to the fact that Days report showed the line is not making money. The mayor admitted the likelihood that If Romani is forced out of business some one else will operate bus line over the same route, but he also warned against paving the way for intermittent service by subsequent failures to make ends meet in the business. The mayor told the commissioners he believes people now being served by the line are willing to pay an increased fare, provided it is not ex- cessive, rather than lose the bus accommodation.
 At the conclusion Of his remarks Chairman Higgins complimented the mayor and the city on the fairness of the stand taken.
 Accountant Day prefaced his ar gument before the commission, by informing it's members that Romani nov has the approved auditing sys- tenn demanded by the state and his statements of earnings and expendi- lures are arrived at in accordance with public utilities commission pro- cedure.
 Wife On Salary List, But
 Romanis earnings last year were indicated at $19,033.54 for regular bus service and s4353S for private parties, a total of s19,46S.92. The owner draws salary of S45 a week as superintendent and spare driver, and has fixed s10 a week as office expenses, this amount being for his wife's services in keeping books, counting change and making up bank deposits. The accountant said Romanis financial condition had made it possible for him to pay her only one week in the past 10 months. Other expenses listed are: Drivers s90; gasoline and oil. s3,- 2S3.79; repairs, S1,6S6; tires, $S79. at the rate of 33 1-3 per cent was set up. Romani now

LOVE LETTERS BRING GRIEF TO CHARLOTTE Unable to Remain in Court While They
 Are Read
BY CHARLOTTE MILLS. Copyright. 1926, Famous Features
 Syndicate, 1nct.)

Somerville, N. J., Nov. 16-More letters. Will they never be finished reading those letters into which my mother and Dr. Hall poured their hearts? Don't they know enough al ready about their affair, without probing deeper and deeper into their very souls?
 Everybody sits in the courtroom with ears strained, eager to catch every word. I know they do, all though l went out of the room yes terday when they started to read those letters from Dr. Hall to my mother that were found scattered on their bodies. l have never seen those little messages that linked their hearts. l don't want to know what is in them. If 1 heard them read would feel like l was defiling some sacred thing.
 l suppose it is hard for some peo- pie to understand how 1 can defend my mother. Many people look upon their love as a sordid affair. But knew her and understood her. l knew pr. Hall and understood him, and l can understand why they loved each other at all costs. They couldn't help loving each other. Both were unhappy in their own homes, and they could find solace only in each other. Mrs. Hall was cold; Dr. Hall was warm and wholehearted. My father was without ambition or romance. Mother was starved for the finer things of life. Always she had lived in drabness. She wanted to live little," as she told me.
 Dr. Hall and mother made mis- takes in their marriages. They tried to salvage their lives by loving each other, and they lost their lives.
 Those were the thoughts running through my mind while l was in the court room yesterday. and those thoughts will be with me today, and always. I have hit upon a good scheme for distracting my attention from those parts of the testimony which arouse bitter memories. I carry a magazine into the court room. Yesterday, for instance, when Sutphen was called. I knew that he would testify about my

 T don't know of anything worse on the highway than drunken driver. Every drunken driver ought to be given the limit. There is no man living and driving a car who doesn't know the law affecting drunken drivers. The drunken driver is a menace on the highway. l would rather see a man go through Berlin 100 miles an hour than to see a drunken driver.
 "Then we have another type, the hit and run driver, coward of the lowest type. If you ever get into an accident stand up and face the music. Be a man.
 "In that incident in Newington re- gently that car came by at terrific rate of speed and killed a woman, and sped on. Going through Meri- den it went 30 feet past traffic po- liceman who held up his hand against it and stopped only when a motorcycle policeman gave chase.
 "Anoth,, person saw the accident and did not want to tell for fear of being mixed up in the case and be- ing forced to testify in court. It's our duty to help make the highways safe for safe and sane drivers.
 If 1t is your wife or child who gets killed, you'll want action right away. Be a man, go into court and tell the truth when you know some- thing to tell. Get that stinker-that miserable, low lifed whelp of hit and run driver off the highway. Anybody who will hit and run ought to be hanged.
 That party who saw the accident and didn't want to tell, will testify in court all right. And I'm not so sure but what he or she will be pun ishcd.
 We hear lot these days about personal liberty. That's an old story. They first began to put a crimp on our personal liberty in the Garden of Eden. There are none of us free from laws-laws are being passed all the time and affect someone's personal liberty. As long as laws are

Telephone Pole Smash ed in East Milton, Mass, Accident and in Falling Crashes Cab of Locomotive.
Then Is Dragged on, Wrecking Gatetender's Shanty-Dozen Persons on Car But None Is Seriously Injured.

Milton, Mass, Nov 16 lD - Tragedy was narrowly averted today when a trolley car ran wild down a grade in East Milton, knocked down a telephone pole and plunged al- most into the path of passenger railroad reservation fence and rolled over on its side a foot and half from the nearest track. The falling pole splintered the locomotive cab. At least two persons were hurt.
 300 Standing Near
 Three hundred high school students were awaiting transporta- tion to school at the foot of the in cline when the car got beyond con- trol and the front trucks jumped the rails. All escaped as the car careen- ed down the grade. Twelve pas sengers were in the car and one of them, a woman, was later placed un- der physician's care. The fireman of the locomotive was knocked to the floor and injured as the pole crashed down on the top of the en- zine cab.
 The pole rode along on the top of the locomotive at right angles to the track for some distance and partly wrecked a crossing tenders shanty.
 The car, one-man trolley in charge of Motorman James Nyland, was one of several run by the East ern Massachusetts railway to East Milton Square to pick up school children. AS the car started down the incline the speed increased and the front trucks swung off the rails.
 Pole Snapped Of
 The telephone pole was snapped off at its base, then the rear truck of the car left the tracks, and it shot through the wooden railroad fence. Apparently the only factor that prevented disaster was the stub- born clinging of the rear trucks to the rails. This partly halted the car in it's dash onto the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad tracks. When the car rolled over, the train, Boston bound from Braintree. was only fifty feet distance.
 The engineer was on the farther sid, of the cab and saw nothing of the accident. The fireman saw the pole sway and slowly start to fall He shouted warning to the en- gineer as it splintered the cab and knocked him down. The engineer applied the brakes.
 Shanty is Crushed
 The crossing man, Alfred F. Girard, was forced to seek safety as he saw the oncoming engine carry ing the big telephone pole cross wise The pole raked his shanty and smashed all the windows before It fell from the engine.
 Traffic Policeman Joseph Duggan saw what appeared to be approach ing disaster and tried to warn the engineer before the accident but his signals apparently were not seen. He later helped remove passengers from the street car.
 The woman injured was Mrs. Turbush of East Milton. She col lapsed when she reached her home and the extent of her injuries was not known.

Charles F. Lewis Con- demns Cowardly Wit nesses Who Don't Want to Get Mixed Up in Ac- cident Cases.

Hit and run drivers are not pop ular in Berlin. Neither are drunken drivers. If Prosecutor Charles F.. Lewis had his way the former would hang and the other fellow would get the full extent Of the law. Mir. Lewis spoke to the Lions club at the Bur ritt hotel today.
 Referring to incidents in the life of Berlin prosecutor. MT Lewis spoke of state policeman who pa trolled the Berlin turnpike. This po- liceman, he said, could see or smell liquor whenever it got anywhere near him. He one time found seven barrels under a load of cabbages, said to be on the way to New York. s Motor vehicle law violations form the greater portion of the work of the Berlin court, because of the temptation to speeders through the town. T see no objection to a man going right along, if he has a straight stretch of road and no traf- flc to be crowded off the road, but "HNI 10 lltdNs anu iiN SNNS cutting in and out that is different, he commented.
 Manufacturers should make cars which cannot go faster than q cer- tain speed in the opinion of some people. Well I have never seen a car that could go faster than 20 or 25 miles an hour, according to tes- timony in court Neither do drunken drivers ever take drink, if they can be believed when they testify. We bring in man who is drunk and he says he doesn't drink. Then he ad- Later he acknowledges he had lit- tie but not a glassful. He says there wasdrinks where he was but he
