Steadfastly denying that ne WAS the driver of the car which was re- sponsible for a bad crash on the Ser lin road April 1T. Thomas Mclean of New Haven was in the Berlin town court last night in answer 70 charge of reckless driving. Judge U. c. Griswold decided that the man was guilty of the charge ana l'heu him s25 and costs. the entire amount of which was remitted.
 The case was one of the most peculiar in the history Of the court ,,,, ,o tho apparent fact that Mclean was not the drlver or the car. The accident occurred near the state scales in the southern part of the town, and Mclean. with a companion, was taken to the Merl- den hospital. where he was confined until yesterday. He was seriously 'h- tured about the head. It was stated ir court by Mir. and Mrs. Drake or Hartford and their daughter. Lil- liam. that the only occupants Of the car were Mclean and his com- panion. who were in the front seat of the car as 1t cut from line ana crashed head on into the car driven by Mrs. Jeannette Drake. It was also testified by them that Mel can was found. after the accident. pinned un- der the car near the drivers side and that the woman was walking around clear of the car The stories of the three coincided in every de- tail.
 Denies Driving Car
 Mclean testified on the witness stand that he was in the front seat of the car but that he was not driv- ing the car at the time or the acci- dent and had not driven the car on the day of the accident at all. He stated that Robert Battles Of Bridgeport was the driver and that following the accident Battles had run away from the overturned car. apparently because he had no oper- ator's license with him. He further stated that there was another man in the back seat of the car at the time of the accident. o. c. Bridget. also of New Haven. who was the owner of the car These men were not seen at any time after the accident by the officer who investigated.
 Mclean stated that he was un- conscious as result of the accident and that he did not know Of the arrest until Bridget visited him at the Meriden hospital and asked him 10 say that he was the driver Of the car at the time of the accident. saying that In this manner they would fight them in court. He stat ed in court that he had refused this request and would not lie. as there was no apparent reason for him to do so. With Bridget at the time of the visit to the hospital was New Haven lawyer who refused to carry out the case as he had been led tn believe that the truthful driver of the car was the man in the hospital.

NORTHWEST MAKES
PLEA ON TARIFF
Representative BurtnessA Asks
Increase to 70 Cents a
BusheI on Flax Seed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY Jne Associated FreSS.
The agricultural Northwest carried a
plea to Congress today for changes In
the House tariff bill that would further
encourage crop diversification. Flax
was the principal commodity mentioned
Representative Burtness, Republican,
of South Dakota, urged before the Sen
ate finance subcommittee on agricul-
tlre rates an increase to 10 cents a
bushel in the present rate of Sc cents
on fax seed. The House bill raises the
duty to 63 cents.
The recent presidential proclamation
increasing the Fordney- McCumber duty
of 40 cents to SIS cents, BurtneSs SAID,
was based on differences in cost of
production in this country and Argen-
tina, which took into consideration
Argentine invoice prices, including
profits and other items of cost. Amer
lean costs, he said, did not include
profits.
It cost the domestic grower 1884 a
bushel to lay down flaxseed in New
York, he said, as against an Argentine
cost of $1.52.
Burtness also urged a 20 per cent
duty on millfeeds and screenings. The
present rate of Is per cent on millfeeds
is reduced to 10 per cent in the House
bin, while the 10 per cent duty on
screenings is retained.
1.-THE agriculture rates In the House
BILL" Burtness said, "are better than in
any tariff bill in history, although they
could be improved by raising them more
in some instances"

3 Celestial Bodies
More Distant Than
Any Others Found
Observation-Disclosures
of Them May Prove
Limits to Space.

BY the Associated Press.
/ BERKELEY, Calf, June 2l.-New
evidence bearing on the structure of the
universe has been laid before the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
of Science with announcement Of a
study of three celestial bodies, fainter
and more distant than any whose light
has ever before been analysed.
DR.. Milton Humason and DR.. Fran
els Pease of Mount Wilson Observatory
presented the evidence, which included
the measurement of the greatest velocity
known in nebulae, 1900 miles second
by one Of the bodies.
All three bodies are moving away
from the earth, the other two at speeds
of 1900 and 800 miles a second. Two
are believed to lie in a cluster near the
pole Of the milky way, while the third is
nearer the earth
The bodies, analysed by their spectrum
in the great 100-inch reflector of the
observatory, are 100000 light years
away from the earth. Each light year
is equivalent to about 5000, 600, 900 900
miles.
The significance of the work is
thought to lie in the curious relation
that, where bodies are moving away
from the earth. the more distant they
are, the faster they appear to be NOV
ing.
This relation has been suggested as a
clue to the structure of the universe
The theory is that velocities are IL
lusory and the displacements seen in
the spectrum are not actual motions
| but distortions in light waves that have
space.
The distort..SS.as may be due to a
curvature Of spls>, predicted by Elm
stein In his theorS If relatively. Thus,
it is thought, furtlEr study may show
that the universe is closed, exhibiting
