4 £l SCHUETZENFEST 1S OPENED BY MAYOR Forty-Fifih Annual Eveat Being Held at Schusizen Park. Mayor George A. Quigley, at 1 o'clock today, formally opened with an enthusiastic speech the forty-fifth Schuetzenfest of the Southern New England Schuetzenbund which is be- ing held in this city at Schuetzen park.

Mayor Quigley arrived about 12:30 and dinner was .served shortly after, with 100 plates lald. Music was furnished throughout the afternoon by a band. At the close of the din- ner Mayor Quigley was introduced by August Zehrer, president of the bund. The mayor in his speech said: Mayor Talks. “Members and friends of the South- ern New England Schuetzenbund, as mayor of New Britain I welcome you here and hope that your stay will be pleasant. 1 congratulate you on the forty-fifth anniversary of your society and am sure that an organization lasting as long as that must have unity in its membership. “It is always a pleasure to me to attend the outings of German socie- ties, because you take so much plea- sure in them. The Germans above a1l other peoples know how to enjoy themselves because they have - con- _served family life; they take their wives and children with them. There is unity in their families because the children respect the parents. “Some people say that Germans have no respect for the Sabbath be- cause they go to their parks on Sun- vday. But if the Sabbath is a day of rest, going to the parks is the way to spend it. No people in the world have.a firmer belief in God and love of their country than the Germans. Everybody recognizes the fact that the Germans and the Irish won the Civil war. ““Therefore, as long as I am mayor ,of New Britain, the German parks shall never be molested.” The playing of “Auld Lang Syhe” by the band, and three cheers for Mayor Quigley followed. Then the mayor opened the shooting with a shot in the target of honor range and pierced the bullseye. Beginning of Exercises.

EXTINGUISHES LIGHTS Provzd o Coroner That Signals May Sometimes Be Misicading. Westport, July 27.—It was demon- strated to Coroner John J. Phelan to- day that lights in the box signals on the trolley line going through this town could be extinguished moment- arily by a drag upon the current due to many cars traveling through a block simultaneously. Three tests were | made by direction of the coroner as a part of his inquiry into the trolley collision here last Wednesday night when four persons were killed. At the hearing last week some trolley employes on the cars which had been at the Country club signal box in the western part of the town claimed that the signal lights there were very dim while motormen and others who were at the Wesport box claimed that the lights burned brightly. Of- ficials of the company claimed that operation of a number of cars in the block would not dim the light. The testimony was so much at variance that Coroner Phelan ordered a dem- onstration, On the third test this afternoon with seven cars climbing the State street grade—up which grade went the freight car which hit passenger trolley 294 on Wednesday night—the in both signal and then for fifteen seconds went out completely. The extinguishment was two minutes and fifteen seconds after the seven cars left the signal box at Westport Center to climb the hill.
