N. !. . passenger on the rear plat form of the second car. who was knocked down and trampled in the rush, described his experience as follows:
 "I noticed smoke seeping up through the floor and around the doors. Then the lights went out
 "Women were screaming. The flames began to come up between tho two cars. With the rest of the people. I hurried away.
 'In a few minutes the cars were suffocatingly filled with smoke. People began breaking windows to get air.
 I headed back toward the fire. but was knocked down and trampled into insensibility. When I came to. few minut<s later. all the windows had been broken and the air was somewhat clearer"
 Meanwhile two alarms had brought rescue squads and fire ap- paratus and police reserves. Police and flremen penetrated into the tube by an emergency exit and be- gan assisting the passengers from tunnel and burning train. As they were brought out all of them were seen to have their faces. hands and clothing blackened with soot and smoke.
 Many Unconscious
 Many were found in the cars un- conscious from inhaling the fumes and were carried from the tube. Two hours elapsed after the accident be- fore the last passenger was brought out.
 After the first mad rush a degree of order was restored and the pas sengers set about finding their way out of the darkness back toward the station.
 Ambulances from six hospitals, as we'll as other vehicles took away the injured as rapidly as they were brought to the street level.
 The accident interrupted service in the tube for four hours.

 "Women became hysterical. They screamed and moaned and prayed and fainted In quick succession. The men were not one bit discourteous."
 Miss Antoinette Baer. of Newark, said 1t seemed to her that it took hours to pass through the burning car in an effort to find her way out.
 "The smoke there was terrific and 1t was fearfully hot Men and wom- en began doffing their coats and hats. It seemed hours before We got through.

LAWYERS RE.nECT
 MAIVGAN PRESIDENT
Jldse S,ls Slcceeds !ldSt
 Roche ls vice Presidcnt

The expected opposition to re- election of officers of the New Brit ain Lawyer1' club. especially the president. was not evident and Judge William F. Mangan was reelected president of the organization without contest at the annual meeting of the club held last night at Burritt hotel. The remainder of the rostrum of Of ficers was left intact with . slight shift due to the death of Judge Henry P. Roche. who was vice pres ident. This office was given to Judge Morris ID. Sake. and the office of treasurer, which was held by Iudge Saxe. was given to Judge Stanley J. Traceski. Judge Roche's successor. Judge Frederick B liungerford was reelected to the of- flee of secretary.
 There was a heated argument among the members as to the ques- tion of bonding the treasurer. Here tofore the treasurer was under bond. but in the future all treasurers will be elected without bond. This con- clusion was reached after a lengthy discussion.
 Members chosen 10 the executive committee were: Edward A. Mag. Donald Gaffney, Judge William F. Mangan, and Judge F. B. Hunger ford. The entertainment committe" is comprised of Attorneys Cyril Calf ney, Harry Ginsburg and William Curtin.
 A new office was created by pop ular demand. that of official legal jester, and Attorney Yale Sable was unanimously elected to that office. It is expected that this office will re- Imain in his hands for number of years.
 George T. kimball, president of the American Hardware Corp. was the guest speaker at the meeting. He supplied an abundance of legal stories of the lighter variety. as we'll as humorous incidents from his re- cent travel abroad. He is 2 mem- Der of the bar.
 The highlight of the gathering was an extensive discussion on laws of libel and islander. The speeches were made by Judge William r. Mangan and Attorney Gerald s. Casale, counsels for the plaintiff and defendant respectively in the famous Hart Gardiner Pa jewski islander suit, which was heard last week in supe- rior court.
 A general reprimand was extended the members who did not attend the meeting by the chair.

Lindbergh Makes First
Glider Hop at St. Louis
Successfully Without Any Pre-
viOus Instruction

st. Louis, Mo-, July Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh had his first
fight in a glider here Sunday when
he scared in one at Lambert st.
Louis field with more than 10000
persons as spectators.
Lindbergh, paying his first visit
to his legal home since his mar
riage to Miss Anne Morrow, spent
most of Sunday at the airport and
when offered the opportunity by
Harry Kuchins, owner of the glid-
er, readily accepted.
The automobile of Major Will
liam B. Robertson, one of Lind
bergh's hackers in the New York
to-Paris fight two years ago, furn-
ished the starting power, as the
field is level.
Lindbergh never had seen
glider flown and he made the fight
without any special instructions.
II had eintended to show him
how to operate the glider" Kuchins
said, "but I went in for lunch and
when came out Lindbergh had
already made the fight as he was
in hurry to take off for Kansas
City.
"He had attached 60 foot rope
to the rear of Major Robertson's
automobile and let go after he got
in the air. He flew across the
length of the field, about half
mile. Usually a much longer rope
is used and higher altitude attain
ed. It is wonder he didn't crash.
That's fine. That's great" Lind
bergh said after the flight"

Simple Rules Observed

Safety Regulations Sure, to
Come to Grief

With the vacation and travel
season at it's height, automobile
accidents are also reaching a high
figure. Almost every issue of The
Herald contains accounts of -one
or more persons killed or serious
ly injured. Ninety per cent of
these accidents could be avoided if
drivers would observe few ele-
mentary rules. Below are some
rules, taken from a recent High
way bulletin, which every driver
should learn and obey:
Stop at all streets, roads and
railroads with "Stop" signs.
Make sure there is no train
coming before crossing railroad
tracks.
Keep to the right of the center
of the road in curves, at crossings
and on the brow of hill.
Keep to the right at. all other

times except when passing We
hicles.
Do not pass vehicles unless the
road is free of oncoming traffic
for safe distance ahead.
Do not pass anyone on a sharp
curve or crossing or on the brow
of a hill.
Slow down at all turns and
crossings where the view is OBJ
secured.
Slow down. when going through
cities and villages.
Keep your brakes and steering
gear in good condition.
Have two front lights and tail
light burning when driving at
night.
See that your lights illuminate
the road, without glare.
r Do not stop or park on the trav-
eled portion of the highway.
Do not park at night without
adequate lights.
Do not circle right before MAX
ing left turns. Signal for all left
turns.
Keep your car under control so
you can always stop in the clear
space ahead.
Persons who habitually disre-
gard these rules are sure to have
a serious accident sooner or later.
Besides that they may face arrest
by the new state traffic patrol now
being organized under the State
Highway department.
1.-THE patrolmen will not make
arrests for minor attractions of
the traffic laws which do not en-
danger other persons" Commits
sioner C. M. Babcock says, but
they will be prepared to deal vigor-
ously with drivers who wantonly
disregard the traffic laws and the
safety of others.
There will be no arrests for
speeding. It is not fair to arrest
man if he goes a little faster
than the speeds named in the
traffic law, if he has his car under
control and regulates his speed ac-
cordingly to the traffic and the
condition of the road. But when
"a man drives in utter disregard of
the safety of others, he should be
promptly arrested and prosecuted
for reckless driving.
Until our state patrol is fully
organized, we hope local officers
will do their utmost to curb reck-
less driving. We hope, however,
that they will not make arrests for
technical but harmless attractions
of the traffic law. That kind of
enforcement does not solve the ac-
cident problem"
