|MOTORISTS SMASH
 l 5 RAILROAD GATES
Accidents at Franklin and Park
 Streets s-No One Injured

Two different drivers in different sections of the city narrowly escap- cd serious injuries when the auto mobiles they were driving crashed through the gates which protect New Haven railroad crossings Sat- urday night.
 The first incident happend about z o'clock where William S. Hopper. driving a light delivery truck owned by the Economy Cleaners and Dy- CTS, allowed his foot to slip from the brake and onto the accelerator causing the machine to hurl itself through the gates at the Franklin street crossing just after a train had passed.
 The second occurred just about two hours later at the Park street crossing, and was reported by Her. bert Taylor of 17 Day street. Taylor was blinded by the glare of another car coming in the opposite direction, and was unable to see the lowered gates.
 After he had crashed through the cast gate he feared that a train was approaching and speeded up his au- | tomobile with the result that he crashed through the other gate. Sergeant Feeney investigated both accidents and reported no cause for arrests.

 At the Corbin Screw factory rally Thomas J. Smith, chairman of tho democratic town committee, told his listeners 1t was about time the peo- pie of the country did little think ing for themselves and voted as their consciences dictated.

Mangan, candidate for probate judge, telling of his work in this city for the benefits of the people without receiving any compensation.
