The death of Colonel Richard c. Shaw, mentioned in this column before, recalls many incidents in the life of this old soldier of fortune. He used to delight in telling of the first time he met the famous Wild Bill Hickok. It was in a saloon at Abilene, Kansas. Colonel Shaw was freighting goods across the western praries in those days. Wild Bill was standing at the bar with a glass of whiskey in his hand. The door suddenly swung open and man who had threat ened to shoot Hickok on sight rushed ill grabbing for his gun immediately. Hic- kok whipped his own gun out and merely by sighting in the mirror over the bar shot the man over his left shoulder. The shot, so the story runs, hit the man squarely between the eyes, Then Hickok finished his whiskey. All of which makes for good reading if just bit hard on the average mans credulity.

The second legal effort of the last of the Mohicans to regain the burial ground of their forefathers and the early Indians ot Connecticut has met with check. Judge Peasley in the superior court denied mo- tion by counsel for the Indians to keep the case on the docket The land in ques- tion is in Norwich. It is in an exclusive residential section. The burial ground, once quite extensive, now is limited to but a few acres that the state maintains.
 Maybe some time we'll be celebrating political Armistice Day, too. And that will be the millennium.

Judge Raymond A. Johnson, who one time boasted the honor of holding posi- tions in all three branches of our state government - executive, legislative, and judicial = is now mentioned as the likely successor to Judge William M. Harney of Hartford as expressing clerk of bills. The appointee is named by the joint legisla- grossed bills. For years a power in re- publican ranks Judge Johnson saw his different jobs filter away as the democrats increased their power. At one time he represented Manchester in the House; was on the Attorney-Generals staff; and town judge. And that's quite few jobs to uphold.

CALLING ALL CARS

Do you Mr.. Motorist, ever
grow impatient when your car
is held up by traffic lights at a
seemingly vacant intersection,
and attempt to beat themY 1t
may interest you to know that,
last year, $4,000 accidents oc-
CURED at intersections and
crossroads, resulting in $3.50
fatalities and 37S,3 injuries.
Or, possibly, in a desire to get
home in hurry. you've passed
other cars on hill tops and
curves. That practice killed
140 people last year and in
jured $3.50.
Again, you've seen cars weave
in and out of traffic maybe you
have done it yourself when traf-
fic was moving too slowly to
suit you. The price of that in
1888 was 1900 fatalities and
1S5. 900 injuries.
You've seen children playing
in the street, oblivious to traffic
Almost $4,000 such children
were involved in accidents last
year, and 1880 were killed and
$4,000 injured.
Driving on the wrong side of
the road is still another of the
tricks of the careless or incom-
petent driver. Last year this
motoring crime" was response
BILE for ,270 lives and 1000
injuries.
And finally, here's one for tie
Pedestrian --jaywalking resulted
in more than 5000 deaths in
1888. Think that over when
you're not driving. Then think
Of it again when you get be ind
the wheel, it may save the life
of a pedestrian.
So it goes, throughout the
whole automobile accident cate
CORY. Last years death total
was around 35, 000--and nearly
every life was lost unnecessar-
lily. Is taking chances worth
that?

BIRTHDAY BALLFOR
PRES. ROOSEVELT

President Roosevelt has again
consented TO lend bis birthday
as the occasion for another ma
tion wide series OF benefits TO
raise additional funds TO combat
Infantile Paralysis.
Postmaster J. b. Boone, has
again been chosen chairman for
the Coolidge district, which be-
speaks success for the enterprise
in this district.
At the Presidents own sugcs-
tion, which is also the recon-
mendation of the Trustees OF
Warm Springs Foundation, no
part OF this years proceeds
will 90 TO the Foundation. 30
per cent OF the proceeds raised
by each Local Birthday Ball
will be retained in It's respective
geographical area, under the dl-
rection OF a committee OF each
such area, to rehabilitate their
Infantile Paralysis victims. 80
per cent OF the proceeds viii be
turned over to the National
Committee for delivery to the
President TO be presented by
him TO a national commission,
which he will create, TO widen
research efforts aimed TO wipe
out the desease itself, exactly as
medical science has successfully
combatted smallpox, diphtheria,
typhoid fever and other mala-
dies.
We are confident that the
whole country again will en-
brace, on We nesday, January
30th, 1885, the opportunity to
join in a work so vital to the
future welfare of hundreds Of
thousands of our people, and
that undertaken in this spirit

WASHINGTON March 27.-Ap- pointment of a three-man board to settle disputes in the auto in dustry waited the selection of a neutral member by President Roosevelt. This neutral member will be named sometime today.
 Rail labor leaders planned to visit President Roosevelt and rei- terate the request that the ten per cent pay cut be restored July 1.
 Rail managers want the cut continued.
 Senator Robert F. Wagner this forenoon agreed to modify his labor bill so it will outlaw coer- cion by any labor organization in addition to the present provision banning intimidation by employers. Senator Wagner denied there is any conflict between his bill and the policies enunciated by Presi- dent Roosevelt in the auto strife settlement. He said the objectives were the same.

WAGE BOOST IS INDICATE ED
 STEEL PLANTS
One Concern to Grant Ten Per Cent In crease
 Others May Follow

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 27.- There is every indication that steel will be the next big industry to step out in the recovery parade with a blanket boost in wages.
 In Cleveland. Ohio, the Corrigan Mckinney Steel Company announc- ed a ten per cent wage increase
 This news is interpreted as fore casting a general pay rise in the steel plants throughout the land
 A leading steel master here dis closed he has sent telegrams to members of the Iron and Steel Institute outlining plans for a ten per cent raise the first of next month without any reduction in the present 40-hour week.
 This industrialist declined to be quoted for the present but added that he looked for other steel mak- CTS to take similar action.
 Heads of other leading steel com panies refused to discuss the pro- posal but indicated that such action by one company would probably re- suit in a general upward revision and a general raise in the amount that will go into pay envelopes if the present production continues.

HOUSE WEARS VOTE ON NEW
 FINANCE BILL
Administration Opposed to Measure Has Unlim-
 ited Possibilities

WASHINGTON, March 27 = A scant g signatures separated the House today from vote on an other currency expansion measure that is opposed by the Adminis- tration.
 Opponents of the measure known as the Frazier Farm Mortgage Re- financing bill, contended it held possibilities of almost unlimited currency expansion.
 The measure was pigeon-holed by the House Agricultural Commit tee last session but Representative William Lemke, Republican of North Dakota, filed a petition to force a vote.
 Under the bill the Government would buy up farm mortgages paying them with new currency then reissue them to the farmer who will also pay them off.
