numerous decorations about the head and body. x-rays have been taken to determine the extent of her injuries. Howard Coughlln, 22, of 215 Washington avenue, a driver of one of the two machines involved, suffered painful lacera- tions about the head and face. His right ear was badly gashed and required stitches. The two machines were badly damaged.
 According to the report filed with the police Miss Miklosky was passenger in q car driven by James w Doyle of 153 South street. The machine was proceeding south on Baldwin street shortly after the 12 o'clock whistle had blown. Miss Miklosky and Mir Doyle were on their way home to lunch. Near the corner of Liberty street q Chevrolet sedan owned by Frank Mullaney of 81 Walnut street, but operated by Coughlin, appeared in its path. The responsibility of the crash has yet to be determined. both drivers apparently figured that they had the right of way.

YESTERDAY WAS THE HOTTEST
 JANUARY l3
Beat All Records for Heat on That Date - Colder Weather Forecast Be- ginning Tonight

Boston, Jan 14.-UP)-New England was in the second day of it's winter "heat wave" to-day. The weather bureau promised con- tinued mild weather but there were indications that the "heat" would not exceed that of yesterday which was the hottest January 13 on rec ord. The mercury went to 63 degrees here and was 2S degrees above normal. The month to date has been 103 degrees warmer than normal.
 The weather bureau said it was all caused by q high pressure area off the Georgia coast and a low pressure area north of New Eng land. Warm southwest winds sifted into New England as re- suit. Colder weather was fore- cast for tonight and tomorrow in the form of a high pressure area. The cold will be season. able but not extreme, 1t was said. The excess of heat since New Years day has had some freak ef- fects. Mayflowers have been re- ported in bloom. Small boys have been seen playing hockey on roller skates. A sandlot baseball game was played yesterday. in Newton

New York. Jan 14.-(UP)-A boom in railroad shares got under way on the stock exchange this af- ternoon as the time approached for the meeting of railroad executives and workers on the question of a wage reduction.
 New York Central led the up- swing in that category in active turnover. The market in general quieted down somewhat in the af- ternoon and prices slipped back from their highs-new highs since the first week in December
 But as the fifth hour neared, the profit taking was checked and the whole list surged forward again. There was no stopping the bullish element and bears who had placed new commitments turned around and covered at a loss, convinced the market had set off on a real rise that was not to be stopped in a few days.
 Observers in the financial com- munity were not convinced, how ever, that the list had seen it's bear market lows. They found the bond market different and sev- eral expressed clean cut state ments the lowest levels for this

 In addition to the domestic buy ing in all sections of the markets here, there was considerable buy ing coming in from abroad. Fore igners were particularly impressed with efforts being made to pare down the cost of government and balance the budget. A short time ago they were frightened over treasury statements of a large de- felt and sold their holdings here. Today they were replacing them in both the stock and bond mar kets.
 Foreign buying was especially noticeable in German international 5 1-2 per cent bonds. This was found to be coming largely from Germany. The issue rose to 39 3-4 up 1 1-8 from the previous close and up 17 1-2 points from the record low of 32 1-4 made a short time ago.
 Railroad bonds also were strong and active. For 6 time they dipped from their highs on profit-taking, but late in the day the rise was being resumed along with railroad stocks.
 Tn the latter category, New York Central spurted to 34 3-4 up 1 1-4; Union Pacific S6 up 3; New Haven 30 IA up 3, Chicago & North Western II 1-2 up 1 IA; Delaware & Hudson S3 up 1 IA; Atchison 92 3-4 up ? 3-S and Pennsylvania 22 3-S up 5-8.

Mad Trapper Beats Off Eight Canadian
 Mounted Officers
Guns and Dynamite Failed to Conquer This Maniac in
 His Arctic Fortress in the Far North

man at any cost. Hampered by 1 heavy snow and bitter cold weather the eight officers spent four days reaching Rat river where the cabin Is.
 They found the trapper had bar ricaded his cabin. The hut re- sembled a tiny fort. The door was reinforced and windows were heav- fly barricaded
 Inside the cabin which projects only q few feet above the ground, Johnson had dug tunnel and un- derground room where he retreat ed when firing became heavy. Earth was thrown up about the walls.
 The officers called on the trap per to surrender. His reply was q rapid burst of shot from one oi his two automatics.
 The posse deployed, seeking cover behind clumps of scrubby bush and boulders. At signal general firing was begun. For hours the battle continued. Every at tempt of the officers to approach the cabin was met by bullets.
 One officer protected by bar. rage from his comrades advanced on the cabin and battered down the door. But he retreated under heavy fire from Johnson who had taken refuge in his tunnel.
 Dynamite bombs were tossed |. They ripped off the roof of the cabin. The officers again ad- vanced but found the trapper's fire undlminished. They again TO- treated. They said the trapper ap- parently was uninjurcd.
 Realizing an Arctic blizzard and lack of food for their dogs, only method of transportation, meant defeat and possibly death, the off, ficers were forced to give up the fight.
 On their return here yesterday after "A hours travelling, q third expedition was organized. Ample food and ammunition to lay siege on the trapper until he is slain or forced to give up are provided
 Trappers said Johnson came into the northwest territory from Yu- kon last fall. He brought only a pair of snowshocs as his equip ment. He was plentifully supplied with money.
 Police said the man evidently had gone mad from his long stay in the wilderness as such cases are not infreQuent.

dous sacrifices to give him an ed- ucation. He had irregular school ing, a year at Exeter and then a college course at Dartmouth. After graduation he studied law in Bos- ton and later went back to New Hampshire and law practice. He was sent to congress in 1913 and there he found Clay and Calhoun. The three men formed a great triumvirate. Webster immediately opposed the war of 1872. its im- becilic management and every thing about 1t. However, he avoid ed treason. He left congress in 1877 and moved to Boston where he rose immediately to the top of the bar and earned an income of $20,000 a year, an enormous sum for those days.
 Mir Taft recounted the various experiences of Webster from then up through his career in the na- tional government which caused him to be listed as one of the great American leaders.

Local Men on
 Grand Jury
Delay Occurs When Mar shal Walter Reports
 Here Instead of N. H.

U. S. Marshal Jacob D. Walter of Cheshire came to Waterbury yesterday in a summons to ap- pear for a grand jury sitting in a murder case. But he got his cities mixed and should have reported to New Haven instead. After wait ing for the Marshal to put in an appearance for considerable period, Elk Mayor Thomas A. Fully of New Haven was drafted to fill the vacancy.
 Two Waterbury men were among the grand jurors waiting for Marshall Walter to appear. They are Attorney Walter E. Monagan and Attorney Herman J. Weisman. The grand jury refused to bring in an indictment on second degree murder against Mrs Helen Taylor of New Haven, charged with the killing of her husband, Ernest. States Attorney Samuel T..

The Harp Is
 Symbol of Music
Says Miss DiIling, Artist, Who Appears in Con-
 cert With Ethel Fox

The remark heard most fre- quently by tho harpist is, q do love the harp!, according to Mill dred billing, the eminent harpist, who will appear in this city on January goth, at Buckingham hall. Miss Dilling Is acclaimed not only as one of America's greatest harp fists, but she is one of the few great harpists of the world.
 "The love of the harp seems to be deeply imbedded in the fancy of everyone" Miss Dilling says. "The music lover may not have heard the harp except In an orchestra, but it's simple, pure tones are not lost upon him. The music of the harp strikes responsive chord In the breast of everyone.
 "The harp has not only been the symbol of music since the world began, but 1t is the most ancient of stringed instruments" the eminent harpist explained, go- ing into the history of the harp. It's appeal. found lacking in most of the other musical instruments, has persisted throughout the ages. As q medium of poetic expression, 1t has no superior, Miss billing be- lleves. Critics, too, have been unanimous in their praise for Miss Dilling, conceding all the credit to this romantic figure of the concert stage.
 Also appearing on this program of the second concert of the Com munity concert series in this city will be Miss Ethel Fox, soprano, who, according to a press comment "hns grace. fire. and d voice of unusual quality and range--a big, wel1-rounded, beautifully toned voice, and when one considers her youth. it promises a splendid ca reer indeed"

A directed verdict of not guilty was returned to-day in the court of common pleas. freeing Stanley Burch of Woodburv from the charge of operating a motor Ve- hicle while under the influence of liduor. In police court the accused was found guilty and fined $loO and costs.
 Patrolman Dennis Lynch and three other state witnesses testiied that they found Burch in his car, which had dropped into q ditch on South Leonard street. He was plainly under the influence of liouor and did not know what had happened. There was no one else in the car at the time.
 To-day in the higher court Burch not only repeated his de- fense as given in police court, but
