New Britain Hockey Team Tonight
 Railroad officials were busy yes- terday checking up on the situation of the Central street crossing in For estviue. where two persons were in- stantly killed and four others re- moved 10 the Bristol hospital Sum- day night after the automobile in which they were riding had been struck by a westbound freight extra. Employes of Division Engineer R. J. Beith Of Waterbury took measure ments O. the approaches to the crossing and Superintendent John J. O'Hanley and Assistant Superin- tendent James H. Greer were also present questioning witnesses.
 Last fall. it is understood, a re- quest was presented to the railroad authorities to have the crossing pro- tected until a later hour each night. At that time, Officer Victor Chabot. night patrolman in the center of Forestville. was asked to keep a check of the vehicles passing over the crossing by Trainmaster William H. Casey. Chabot at that time sug gested to the railroad official that he handle the matter with Chief Ernest T. Belden. but 1t is under stood no such request was ever made to the chief. Councilman Homer H. Judd has let 1t be known that he is strongly in favor of having the crossing protected until later hour and it is believed that he will pre- sent such a recommendation at the March meeting of the city council.
 Superintendent OHanley. when interview by the Herald repre- sentative. expressed regret at Sun day nights accident. He stated that stories presented to him were of a somewhat contradictory nature but that he hoped to ascertain the facts at an investigation which is being held in his office this afternoon. It was also his opinion that the engine had struck the left front of the death car. Had it struck it in the center, it would have carried 1t some dis tance from the crossing and rolled 1t over, according to Mir. O'Hanley.
 Mrs. George Pistey. Mrs. Frank Bossack, Miss Betty Pistey and Charles Pistey, son of the woma n killed outright Sunday night. are re- covering at the Bristol hospital. An N-ray taken yesterday by hospital authorities of the scalp wound suf- fered by Mrs. Bossack. revealed that there was no fracture as was at first believed.
