No criminal act or carelessness
caused the accident in which
Valentine Bolll of SOS WATERFOWL
avenue, well-known old-time Wa
terburian, was fatally injured June
18th, according to a finding filed
with the clerk Of the superior court
today by Coroner John T. Monzani.
The coroner exonerates Edward
Mathon, operator Of the trolley car
which struck Mr.. BOIL, from any
blame in connection with the mis-
hap.
The finding points out that Mr..
BOIL was directly in the path Of
the street car, crossing diagonally
in front Of 1t. When the trolley
was near the pedestrian, the cor
oner says, the man remained on
the tracks. apparently confused.

slowly, and even with its emer-
gency brake set when the operator
saw that Mr.. BOIL was in the cars
path, brushed the pedestrian, and
knocked him to the pavement.
Sustaining fractured skull and
several fractured ribs. Mr.. BOIL, at
one time prominent meat dealer.
died later the same day.
Thirteen witnesses were exomin-
ed by Coroner Monzani during his
INQUEST into the accidental death.
The coroner's finding reads as
follows:
Shortly after $500 o'clock
eastern daylight saving time
on the morning Of June 2Sth,
1895, Valentine BOIL, who liv-
ed at 56S WATERFOWL Avenue,
left his home to go to the
center Of Waterbury by trolley.
His home Is upon the easterly-
side of WATERFOWL avenue,
which made 1t necessary for
him to cross to the westerly
side of the street in order to
take the trolley car inbound
TO Waterbury. Right near his
home on both sides of the
street there are white poles,
designated as stopping points
by the Connecticut Company.
When Mr.. BOIL left his home
and arrived at the curb pre-
paratory to crossing the street
he waited for period Of three
20 five minutes before attempts
ing to go to the other side.
During that time there had
been ample opportunity to
cross, had he desired, but as
=, the southbound trolley car
approached from the direction
Of oakville, Mr.. BOIL started
across the street. watching
traffic approaching from the
south. He did not cross direct
ly to the other side, but took
diagonally southerly course
to pass in front Of the APP
preaching trolley car. When
he had almost reached the in
bound rails and the car was a
very short distance from him.
he waved his arm towards the
operator, undoubtedly intend
ing It as a signal to stop. The
car was not travelling at
very fast rate Of speed, and
the operator, realizing the
nearness Of Mr.. BOIL might
result in his being struck, wav-
ed at Mr.. BOIL with his left
hand to keep back. As soon
as the operator raised his left
hand from the controller han
die, 1t Immediately set. the
emergency brakes on the troll
ley car and caused the speed
of the car to be very material
ly lessened. Mr.. BOIL did not
stop, but continued across in
front Of the car and the mo-
torman then shut off his power
and reversed his car. Mr. BOIL
succeeded in almost crossing
the tracks in front of the car
when the right side of the :
front vestibule brushed him
and threw him to the pave
ment, fracturing his skull and

Apologies to Man

Birmingham Ala, Nov. 16.-
The reactionary Birmingham
News was forced to apologize for
q two-inch streamer headline
reading Negroes Slug Man, At
tack Grip when a vigorous pro-
test was sent the paper by Rev.
Stewart Meacham, white pastor
of the Dixon Memorial church
here.
Meacham attacked the sensa-
tional headline of an incident
which occurred hundreds of miles
away. The charge of rape, he
pointed out, was supported only
by the testimony of a middle-aged
man and a girl who were found
alone in a secluded spot known for
"petting parties" The two
claimed to have been "in onver
sation" when robbed and as
saulted."

Surrender of Puppet

Many Months Ago

Surrender" of Dodias-
match Halle Salassie Gugsa,
son-in-law of the Ethiopian
emperor, who went to the Ital-
ians with 1880 warriors, in
stead of being a moral victory
as Mussolini would have it be-
lieved, was purely the culmin-
alton of a bargain arranged
with Rome several months ago,
it has just been revealed.
Ras Gugsa, who has been
made a puppet emperor by II
Duce, had always been jealous
of Halle Salassie and his mar
riage to the Emperors daughter
did nothing to allay his envy.
When Italy's determination to
attack Ethiopia became clear,
has Gugsa negotiated with
Rome. His surrender" in the
midst of the fighting was stage
managed, and the Ras played
his part to perfection. This
Information was obtained by a
correspondent of a London
daily paper.
The Emperor, however, feels
a good deal of satisfaction al
the d%esertion of Ras Gugsa. for
it cleared up a very tense sit
uation in the northern armies.

OZE SIMMONS OF IOWA.;

Doff your caps to one Oze Sim

Whenever a Negro gridster

Higher Yearning( and since III e

it IS customary for a certain Sec
ton of the easily excitable Dusky-
merican brotherhood to start
booming that player as "All-
American" Playing with whites
on a football team does not neces-
sarily mean that the colored pig
skin fondler is the best there is in
the nation at hat position; it
merely means that at his particu-

dates.

star has lived up to the predic-

of the 20-year-old lads success
comes from the addition of Is

Football Job Interferes With Law Course; Pond
 at Sugar Bowl

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 30 --(U. P.)-Denny Myers has quit as foot ball line coach at Yale because the job interferes with his planned law career.
 This was confirmed to-day by Myers and Malcolm Farmer, head of the Yale Athletic Association in support of his reported resignation at a Collegiate Football Coaches Association meeting at New York Saturday.
 Farmer said the New York an- nouncement jumped an official an- nouncement which was to have been been given out here during the week." and added "hewas a good coach and we hate to lose him." Law Comes First
 Myers explained his resignation:
 My reason for leaving Yale is that I have tried several times to effect an arrangement whereby l could finish out my law studies but was unsuccessful"
 He said it was mot worth while to continue as coach unless he could complete his studies as well.
 Head Coach Raymond w. (Ducky) Pond was on his way to New Orleans to ttend the Sugar Bowl game and it was reported he might announce Myers successor from the south.
