Auto Fatalities Here
 Register M&d Decrease Nine Killed in Accidents During 1888 as Com pared to 16 in Previous Year-Supt. of Roach Comments Drivers Asks Greater Caution in 1889

Automobile fatalities were reduced A per cent in Waterbury in 1888 while all accidents were being re- duced 26 per cent, according to the annual accident summary of the police traffic accident squad. The re- port, prepared by Superintendent William J. Roach by Officer James Little, accident squad statistician shows that the Brass City had nine fatalities last year, as compared with 16 in 1897, and had a total of 864 accidents as compared with 1155 in 1897.
 Drivers Praised
 The striking reduction in fatal- ities and general accidents is com mended by Superintendent Roach in a statement today. He praises motorists and pedestrians for their cooperation with the police in the citys permanent safety campaign and asks evsn further use of care and caution in 1889.
 Of the nine accident victims in 1888, six were pedestrians. Two were occupants of automobiles involved in collisions with other cars, while the ninth victim was bicyclist whose vehicle struck an automobile Of the 16 auto victims the previous year, there were IA pedestrians.
 Of the total of 864 accidents last year, pedestrians were involved in 154. There were GOA in which two or more autos were involved. Mine involved automobiles and bicycles, four involved autos and horse drawn vehicles, 13 were non-colli- sion accidents, and the remaining 80 were collisions of motor vehicles with fixed objects.
 Personal Injuries
 Waterbury had 240 personal in- jury accidents in 1888, as compared with 327 in 1897. This was reduc- ton of 87 accidents or 27 percent.
 Of these 240 injury accidents, pe- destrians were involved in 148.
 Property damage accidents last year totaled 615, while there had been 812 accidents of this type the previous year.
 Superintendent Roach's statement in connection with the annual acci- dent report follows:
 Death and accidents have re- ceived much public attention in recent years although death has existed since the beginning of time. It is, of course, recognized that eventually death will come to us all and it is also recog- nized fact that we always will have a certain amount of acci- dents. None of us can hope that accidents can be completely eradi- cated from the fabric of modern civilization. However, we can be- come too philosophical and com- placent about the inevitability of accidents as a dominating fac tor in our civilization"

TRAVELCGUE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Winter the time has come to talk of trips, Of where to go and on what ships. Shall it be to south Pacific isles, Where the natives greet you with smiles Perhaps at Samoa Honolulu, Or some far of island zulu? Shall it be to lovely Tahiti, Or that pleasure ground Waikiki? In event the Pacific isles are too far There's fun and scenery off West Indian par, Where you won't freeze like the EsklmoS, But more likely stew at Sloppy Joes, Or not so far south on Nassau beaches, Where flying fish play and the tropic oro Screeches' Oh no doubt, you'll find place to go, Providing you're stocked with plenty Of dough Winter: The time has come to make up the mind That most of us must stick to the usual grind

 Say half dozen inches across, Toss a flower on it hit or miss,
 Then give the head toss, For there, though at first sight
 It resembles tiny mat, Held in place by stout back strap It goes for 8 hat.

bUDCE 'CRUDCE' AGAINST PERRY
 FLARES TONIGHT
Californian Has Score to Even Because of Eng-

BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent

V
 New York, March 10-CUP) - Donald Budge and Fred Perry face each other tonight for the first time as tennis professionals, and if the nasty words they have been pitching around come from the heart, don't be surprised if they whip out six-shooters instead of racquets when the umpire calls play"
 They'll do their battling in Madi- son Square Garden and crowd of 16,000 is expected to turn out to see the boys renew-this time under a dollar sign banner-a rivalry that flared on the courts of two contin- ents when they were amateurs in- terested only in winning cups and padding expense accounts.
 Budge, the red-haired kid from Oakland, Cal, is the favorite to win the inaugural match of this 37-city transcontinental trek. On his re- cent tour with Ellsworth Vines he won 9 matches out of 39. Budge picked up neat $50000 on that trip-hiS first as pro-and figures to make almost as much against dark-haired Fred of England.
 Doing We'll
 Fred has earned about $100,000 since he traded glory for gold back in 1886. It's hard to believe the boys are serious in their hate when their enterprise nets that kind of sugar.
 The hate" is supposed to go back to l936 when Perry defeated Budge in the finals of the U. s. champion shipsh. Fred criticized Budge- for a stupid move" that he claimed lost Don the championship. Budge has been breeding oyer that ever since and all this week they've been chucking violent words at each other-through press agent. The latest blow-off came yesterday when they refused to pose for pictures together.
 T whipped Budge consistently as an amateur" Perry said today, "and I don't aim to stop now that we're playing for dough. Sure, he's 8 good player but I'm better"
 i've improved lot since play ed Fred on grass" said Budge. T learned plenty on the tour against Vines and I'll make Perry eat his words"
 Perry Was Better
 This will be Perry's first tour since he made a swing with Vines in 1887. The last time he met Budge was in 1886.
 They've played six times as anna teurs, and when the chips were on the line Perry was the victor. He

Warning On

Of Seasons

The continuous shortening Of the
tobacco selling season presents most
difficult problem to buyers and
packers Of tobacco, both in the flue-
cIed and hurley districts, and de-
serves most serious study as to
Vays and means for correction of
the constantly increasing difficulty,
declared President James S. Flick
len in his address to the annual
convention Of the Tobacco Associa-
ton Of the United States, at White
Sulphur Springs, West Virginia,
Iane 3d.
He referred to measures adopted
last year to regulate the speed of
tcbacc0 sales and declared that
sales Of the past crop we're more
orderly conducted under their regu-
htions than they had been in the
past However, although the speed
q sales was cut down, the season
vas not prolonged, as had been
hoped. because growers began Of
iering their tobacco in larger piles.
A5 result, the selling season in
III Belts of the flue cured areas, as
veil as in the hurley district, was
aorter than ever before.
Flcklen also called attention to
he dangers in the artificial bot
iem created partly through market
llg Of the 1888 crop under the Crop
Control Law. This, together with
an unusually active and keen de-
rand for the low grades in the
past crop, created considerably
higher prices for the low grades and
somewhat cheaper prices for the
ilgh grades in the 1888 crop.

Steam Laundry
Customers
On Increase

For we'll nigh thirty years the
Henderson Steam Laundry has SER
we'd this city and community, and
has functioned satisfactorily and sue
cessfully. 1t has enjoyed a generous
share of the laundry patronage Of
local people, who have been SO well
pleased with the quality of work
furnished them that they have turned
in ever increasing numbers to rely
upon its service.
From the time of its establishment,
the laundry has been located at the
present site, on North Chestnut
street, but several times it has been
enlarged and modernized to meet the
demands Of growing patronage.
At no time in its lengthy history
has the company enjoyed larger
volume of business than it is now
receiving under the capable and ex-.
perienced management of j. w. Col
Inns, who has owned and operated
the laundry for many years. He was
trained in his field in other places
before locating here, but has been
progressive enough to maintain his
large and growing plant in a con-
dition always in keeping with mod
ern trends.
Extensive improvements have been
made at the laundry in the past few
months. Some time before that some
new machinery was installed and ad-
ditional space provided for handling
the big volume Of work.
Mr.. Collins employs large corps
of workers, who are trained in the
art of producing high class work with
a maximum of efficiency and in the
minimum of time.
A fleet of trucks is operated to col
lect and deliver laundry. The entire
community and section are served
by the Henderson Steam Laundry,
and at prices that are as low as they
can be made commensurate with
costs entailed and service rendered.
Clothing entrusted to this laundry
is made to look like new when it is
returned to the user. Complete laun-
dry service is offered, together with
the wet wash type Of service desired
by some customers.
MIR. Collins gives his personal at
tention and his entire time to his bus
mess, and his years of experience in
operating a laundry and his cordial
| and square dealings with customers
has attracted a volume of trade that
outdistances anything the company
has ever enjoyed before. And it is
still growing. Customers like the
work that is turned out and the
II prompt service offered, and new
patrons are constantly being added
