RUNS INTO TRUCK
 IN BLINDING RAIN
Driver Unable to See Big Vehicle
 With Lights Out

Traffic was impeded for almost 1 three hours last night on Stanley street, near the entrance to Stanley Quarter park. after an accident in which Houston s. Phelps. formerly of Holyoke. Mass. but now at 295 Pennington avenue. Hartford, ran into large truck stranded in the middle of the roadway with an axle broken.
 The truck was standing well to the right of the road. but. because of the wet weather, its lights had gone out Phelps. driving south on Stanley street and not seeing it soon enough, crashed into it, caving in the front end Of his car.
 In statement made to Officer Louis E. Harper who investigated 1 the accident, Phelps claims that he ! did not see the truck until he was 25 feet from it. Then he applied his brakes, but the slippery road caused the car to skid into the truck, be- longing to the Byrolley company.
 Collision on East Street Both drivers confused, Henry ]. Hall. 272 Pennington avenue. and Frank Spring, 9l Chapman street, slightly damaged their cars when they crasred near the corner of i Smalley and East streets at 5:oO last evening.
 Officer James Kelly, who reported the accident. says that Hall was go- ing north on stanley street, while Spring was proceeding south. Just l past the corner Of Smalley street, where the road widens, Hall thought . Spring would not crowd over to the
 right of the road far enough, and
 became confused, and turned to the left.
 The front ends Of both cars were damaged. Halls car also struck Connecticut registration 5166S which : was parked at the curb, denting a
 fender. Officer Kelly could find no cause for police action, though both drivers acuso each other of being at l fault.

LOBBYIST HEYDAY
 AFTER CIVIL WAR
Northern InduStrialiStS Grabbed
 Everything in Sight
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington. Oct. 23.-The golden age for the lobbyists of Washington came in the sixties and seventies The northern industrialists had de stroyed the power of the southern planters at the seat of government and there was little they didn't want and get
 Never nave public men in rc- sponsible positions, directing the destiny of the nation, been so brutal. hypocrtical and corrupt"
 So says Claude G. Bowers of the 12 years following the death of Lincoln in the introduction to "Thc Tragic Era" recently published.
 The lobbyists Of the time, of course, both helped create and took advantage of this situation.
 The King of the Lobby
 In that period rose Sam Ward. who rejoiced in the title King of the Lobby" His Majesty came from a distinguished family and was a brother of Julia Ward Howe. He is described as a "compactly built, round-hoaded gentleman" w.lo had studied abroad. dug gold, written verse and served as a diplomat in Nicaragua Being a man of imposing manner, wit and culture. he triel to elevate the lobbying business 10 a profession.
 During the day. Uncle Sam made his headquarters in the Ap- populations Committee rooms at the Capitol and at night he enter tained royalty in a little house on F. street. His sister says in her "reminiscences:
 He had an unusual power of reconcilng people who were at variance with each other. and the dinners at which he presided fur nished occasions 10 bring face to face political opponents accustomed to avoid each other. but unable to resist the bonhomie which sought to make them better friends. He became known as the king of the lobby. but much more as the prince of entertainers. Although careful in his diet, he was we'll versed in gastronomics, and his menus were wholly original and excellent. He had friendly relations with the diplomats who were prominent in the society of the capital Lord Roseberry and the Duke of Devon shire were among his friends as were also the late Senator Bayard and President Garfield"
 It was Ward who presented to the speaker of the House a silver cup inscribed from Rex Nestiars" king of the lobby.
 The lobbyists apparently did not march 10 the battlefront in the Civil War, nor let up in their efforts here. for q writer of the time describes a large collection of "tX- members of either House or Sen ate, professional borcrs, broken down politicians and other larrants who negotiated for votes of mem bers on terms 10 be agreed on by the contracting parties"
 These men presumably had much to do with the astonishing frauds

BRIDGE PLANS IN
 RUSSIA EXTENSIVE
County Offers Opportunity for
 American Engineers

Moscow. Oct. 23 (P-Present day Russia offers splendid tiel1 for American bridge builders and en- gineers in the opinion of Leon S. Moisseiff, one of the builders Of the Greensboro and the Manhattan bridges in New York. who 'eturneI yesterday from a three-weeks survey of bridges throughout European Russia.
 MT. Moisseiff. who was engaged by the Russian government to pass upon the stability of it's bridges, said the Soviet authorities woull spend more than sl00,00O,0 ,0oO in bridge construction within the next five years. A great part Of the material and technical supervision would come from the United States.
 He said existing bridges were in tolerably good condition. but in many cases far from adequate for the growing needs of the country.

Blue Nose' Group Left High and Dry for Advice - No More Rulings Available Free.

Washington, Oct. 23 P}-Calls for help socially still come plaintively and vainly to the protocol division of the state department, although fully six months ago-whilc contro- Versy ran high over the official rank of Mrs. Dolly Curtis Gam, the vice presidential hostess-Secretary Stim- son announced succinctly that his subordinates were through with ministering in social dilemas.
 A plea for assistance now is fol- lowed by an explanation at the de- partment that, officially, there is no such thing as social precedence among United States officials, and that determing unofficial rank the hostess must look elsewhere
 Opening for Arbiter
 There is in fact a promising open ing, it is said, for a commercial so- cial arbiter who could tell for a COL sideration when to wear a white or a black tie, how to seat ones guest 5, or any of the countless, baffling ru- ances of social observance
 Even the all-knowing social secre- taries would patronize such a referee for now they ask the state depart ment. And the only possibility of q resumption there of the old practice of offering expert advice-unofficial- ly and gratis-would seem to be legislation providing a bureau of social information. Such legislation is regarded as beyond the horizon of probability.
 Hostesses for years consulted veteran official in the state depart ment whenever they were in a quan- dary over some fine point of social etiquette, or they went for counsel 10 d butler of the president.
 No More Help Available
 The state department offered as- sistanCe, working overtime at it, and the butler also could be depended upon. When the butler died, and when the protocol division was ere ated. in February, 1928, official pro- nouncement made the rendering Of unofficial advice one of it's functions.
 This unofficial counsel, il was ex- plaincd today, was received as off, cial dictation. Last winter came the controversy over Mrs. Gam social status, and a plethora of Ques- tions concerning social etiquette One April day when a wave of social self-consciousness had swept the capital, Secretary Stimson announc- cd. in effect, that his department no longer should be secretary to social Washington. that the protocol divi- sion had far more important duties to occupy it; that the giving Of ad- vice had been misinterprcted so that it had assumed the importance of official pronouncement; that Wash ington society must shift for itself in settling it's social problems.
