REPORTS MARROW soUEAk

Police Commissioner Rodman w. Chamberlain witnessed an automo- bile accident last week in Toledo, O., in which a sedan, driven at rapid speed by a prominent Toledo realtor. struck a pole on the side of the road, injuring all the occu- pants and ripping the top off the car. It developed that the driver was intoxicated.
 A Stanley Works salesman who was with Mir. Chamberlain had stepped off the curb to board a street car and did not see the on- coming automobile. It seemed to the local man that his companion would be struck but the driver chose to wreck his car and risk his life and the lives of his companions. Mir. Chamberlain was the first to reach the injured.

he knows Of the case and there is dispute between the officer and the man as to the value of services ren- dered by the latter at the formers home Occasionally the chief said, i; is necessary to speak 10 the police men relative to their debts, but on the whole, the men pay their bills. There are no dead beats" in the de- partment. he said.
 Commissioner Morton said he be- lieves this subject does not belong before the board. If the officer owes q bill the creditor has legal redress. In this case, the officer owns real es- tate and he also has his pay every week. The police board should not become a collecting agency, he said.
 Commissioner Bannan agreed that the board should not be a bill col lecting body, but policemen are ex- pected to uphold the law and set the proper example. Clerk McGrail said it is an unwritten law that employees Of the municipality pay their bills, but for that matter everyone Is ex- pected to meet legitimate obliga- tions.
 The matter was referred to Chief Hart, who will advise the officer to come to some sort of settlement with the complainant.
 Chief Hart reported that his ex- penses at the police chiefs conven- ton in Chicago amounted to s219.43. He presented an itemized bill, which was approved by the board and will be referred to the common council. He was allowed $500 for the trip, and the balance will be turned back. The chief said he witnessed a demonstration of bullet proof vests and it would be well for the com missioners to consider the purchase | Of a half dozen or more at s75 apiece.

Manslaughter Charge
 Against Driver Dropped

Willimantic, Conn, Oct O2l- The charge of manslaughter against John McKernan of Hartford in connection with the death of Henry Blais of the same city on Septem- Der 1i, was mol pressed in city court today by Judge F. H. Foss, at the request Of Prosecuting Attorney Harry S. Gaucher.
 Although the case had been de- layed to permit presentation of wit nesses to support the finding of criminal negligence made by Cor oner Arthur G. Bill, the prosecutor said, no such witnesses had appear ed and there was no evidence of any sort to sustain the charge against McKernan.
 Blais was killed when he fell out of the cab of a truck in which he was riding with Mckernan and un- der the wheels. He was not re- uuired to plead.

What Are You Doing
 for Your Pmy Child ?

For weak, frail, under-developed children-and especially those that have rickets, and need a sure build CT that promotes the growth of teeth and bones cod liver oil is the one medicine supreme - nothing helps like it.
 But it is nasty and repulsive and evil smelling and nearly always up- sets children's stomachs - so now up-to-date chemists advise McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets.
 Children love them as they do candy, because they are sugar coat ed and easy to take. One boy gain ed 11ls pounds in seven weeks, and is now healthy and happy-thou- sands of other children have grown strong and robust.
 Sixty tablets for 60 cents at all druggists-but be sure and ask for McCoy's-the original and genuine.
 Give them to the sickly, frail child for 30 days and if they don't help wonderfully, your druggist is au- thorized to hand you back the money you paid for them.

DAMAGES AWARDED
 FOR AUTO CRASH
Miss Lydia Lose of This City
 Wins Case on Appeal

Hartford Oct. : GP)-Because of the heavy snow storm on February Is, 1922, Amy I. Whitney of Enfield elected 10 use trolley car instead Of her automobile in bringing cer- tain papers to the Harzardvine of flee Of the Hazard Lead Works. She slipped, fell and fractured her hin, and today the supreme court was asked 10 determine whether the in- Jury arose out of and in the course of her employment. She was office manager for the company and maintained two offices, one at Haz- ardyille and the other at her home in Thompsonville, The evening be- fore the accident she worked late preparing certain papers for her emloyers, and it was necessary that these documents be taken to the Hazardvile office. The company had paid her S10 a month for the use Of her automobile. The com penSafion commissioner refused compensation on the ground that the 44A4 7 elo NI4r lfollIL cL ENpOSlHB herself to the hazards of an icy street.
 The superior court directed the commissioner 10 make an award to Miss Whitney, from which judgment the insurer appealed.
 The jury in the court Of common pleas found for Miss Lydia Lose of New Britain to recover $350 dam- ages for an automobile accident as she was returning to New Britain from a wedding in Hartford on Sep tember 30, 1925, but Judge Thomas J. Molloy set the verdict aside on the ground that she had failed to make reasonable use of her senses in approaching a street intersection and was guilty of contributory negli- gence. An appeal was taken to the supreme court on the ground that this was question for the jury and not the court to decide.
