' According to eye witnesses the col- lision was unavoidable. Starkie was coming down the hill near the tracks and was going from Hartford to New iven. Williams, who was coming in e opposite: direction, brought his .machine to a standstill on the tracks, possibly thinking the Hartford man | would make a detour around him, Starkie, however, figured that Wil- | Hams would give him the right of way and the collision resulted. ‘Willams, who is a = well-known truckman in Holyoke, was taking his wife and family to see the capitol of . Connecticut when the naccidant oe- curred. Instead it became necessary for him to defer the visit until a later date. Burdick Figures in Accident.

Coming around the sharp curve in Beckley quarter two Ford cars be- longing to Windsor Locks and Bridge- port residents collided, yesterday aft- ernoon. The accident was unavold- able and after each driver had made profuse apologies to tie other both left in' opposite directions. It was necessary for the Windsor Locks man to secure the assistance of N. L. Beck- ley to make a few slight repairs on his machine. He Was Very Curious, It is said that curiosity once killed la cat, but an Italian laborer employed by E. C. Goodrich in constructing the new bridge on the Turnpike is today mourning the loss of the tip of his little finger on his right hand because he wag curious. The man put his fin- ger in a cog wheel at the bridge and ‘the tip was cut off. Dr. M. H. Gris- wold of Kensington attended him. ‘When asked why he put his finger in the cog the Italian answered that he was curious to see if it would go around with the wheel. «Heavy Traffic Through Kensington. Traffic on Worthington ridge and Farmington road was very heavy yes- terday and there was a continual stream of autos passing up and down the highway taxed to their capacity with pleasure seekers coming and go- ing from the shore. As the bridge on the Turnpike has been closed, traf- fic has been diverted to Farmington ‘road and it is said that the number ‘of autos which generally pass through Kensington at this time of the vear has been increased two-fold. | There are some Very dangerous spots in Kénsington which should be protected for the safety of the resi- dents.' Vehicles comihg down Main street, Kensington, and thaose coming along Farmington road, beybnd, the Depot bridge, cannot see one another approach as the view is obstructed by the high banks and tHe bridge. There has consequently been some very nar- row. escapes. Another bad spof 'is near Upson’s corner. The road here is divided and runs in four oppo- site directions. It is difficult for pe- destrians on either road to perceive one another approach. To make mat- ters worse the trolley tracks pass the spot. Signs should 'be posted before these dangerous places to warn au- toists and pedestrians to 8o slow. ' A, traffic officer should patrol the corners on Sundays when - the traffic i always the heaviest. Berlin Briefs. Mrs.:J. C. Rowley has, home from a two weeks' Northampton, Mass. Mr. and Mrl.

Plalnvflle News NOLLE COSTS MORE THAN A CONVICTION Kutoist Pays Extra Tax to Keep Record As a Driver Clear NO INTENT TO VIOLATE LAW Car Had Moved But Few Feet With Out—Court Had to Col- Headlights 1 lect Anyway—Burton Had to Pay, —Briefs. That it sometimes is more expen- sive to nolle a case than to convict the prisoner, in Plainville court was demonstrated this morning when W. H. Burton of Southington was tried before Justice A. H. Condell on the charge of operating an automobile without having two headlights burn- ing. ‘The man's explanation of the manner in. which he violated the law made such a favorable (impression that Grand Juror S. S. Gwillim rec- ommended that a nolle be entered and the court acted accordingly. The costs of the court, however, were more than the accused would have been forced to pay had the usual Penalty been imposed. He expressed a willingness to pay the extra tax, however, rather than have a convic- tion recorded on his license as ‘an operator and he settled the case by giving up $3.45. Burton’s appearance in court was a sequel to an argument he had with ‘Officer Marino. The policeman had stopped the man’s machine because he had been driving with ‘but one oil lamp on the front of his car burning. He claims he simply intended to warn him but when the driver started to fire questions at him, placing him in an embarassing position before a number of on lookers, he decided to let him explain matters to the court. F. L. Wagner, New Britain's motor- cycle policeman, told the court that he was standing with Officer Marino when Burton’s car put in an lappear- arice. He noticed that but one light was burning. An instant later the driver turned on the electric head- lights and when the machine reached the point where the policemen were standing three lights were burning. Mr. Burton explained that he had stopped 'for a trolley car which was discharging passengers and had turned; out his eleot?': lights, sup- Posing jthat both: ' o lamps were burning. - As soon ‘as he got the ma- chine in motion he started the elec- trics again. He claimed the machine had moved but a few feet with but one light. | The accused had entered a plea of mot guilty and Justice Condell ¢laimed that in view of the fact that it had been proved that there was a violation of the law, he couldn’t nolle the case. He suggested that the pea be changed to nolo contendere, an ad- mission of the charges with the claim that there was no intent to violate the law. Burton agreed to this and the prosecutor’s recommendation was then adopted.. The 1aw prqvides that $2 be charged where & ndlle is-en- tered, making thé costs of settling Burton’s case greater than it would have been had be been fined. He was willing to pay the extra, however, to keep his record as an auto driver clear. N. H. Downes paid 82,}{ for rpn- ning his machine throwgh Plainyille on July 15 without s tail light. [ He admitted his guilt, explaining thatithe light had probably been jarred out as he crossed the railroad tracks. /He was fined $1, both Justice Condell and Grand Juror Gwillim remltung their fees. Names of other autoists who failed to live up tp the’ motor laws, w rc turned over to Grand Juror Gwi] today by Officer Marino and they wm be in court during the week. Fears Son Was Drowned. ’ Almost prostrated with grief, Mrs. Jennie F. Churchill, widow of the late Jay A, Churchill, spent the day at her home in Middletown, awaiting news concerning the fate of her son, Frank Churchill, who she fears. was ane- of the excursionists on Saturday. Mrs, Churchill has nothing to substantiate her fears, other than the fact that her son had written to her several days ago, telling of his plans to go on the trip. She has not heard from him since the disaster and consequently she belleves it possible that he was one of the victims. Young Churchill is an employe of the Western Electric company, under whose auspices the excursion was given. He spent his vacation with his mother in Middletown last month and after his return to Chicago wrote of his intentions of going on the ex- cursion. ‘Whether he was on the boat which capsized, his mother does not know. His failure to advise her of -his safety, however, is responsible for her enter- taining the fear that he was drowned. The young man formerly lived with his parents in Plainville. His fa- ther for a number of years was pas- tor of the Methodist church here. He died in Middletown, following an oper- ation about a yvear ago. He has three sisters and a brother, who are also well known in this town. Missionary Day Tomorrow.

Bridgeport, July 26.—~Following a conference of national labor leaders here, at which the labor situation in New England and New York was dis- cussed, J. J. Keppler, international vice-president of the machinists” union, last night issued a statement in which the bellef i¥ expressed that "“the time is now opportunesto secure an eight-hour day throughout New England with the Jeast possible resist- ance.” 4 The strike at the plant of the Rem- ington Arms & Ammunition Company, which brought the labor heads to this city, was practically ended Saturday night when the machinists ratified an agreement with the company for a working schedule of forty-eight hours a week. The men return to work to- morrow and the agreement will be ef- fective August 1. Mast of the labor leaders left town at the close of the conference. The statement says: ““At the conference today we went over the general situation in New England and New York. We agreed to follow out the policy that was maintained in Bridgepart of pulling out the men in one shop at a time, except that in Bridgeport we were a bit permature. No particular city and no particular line of indsutry has been decided on, but we will confine our operations to the factaries. “We feel that the time is now op- portune to secure an eight-hour day throughout New England with the least possible resistance. We will es- tablish our propaganda in each city we enter by starting a paper, the same as in Bridgeport, to foster and further our cause. The Bridgeport Manufacturers’ Association said that they have had the eight-hour question under consideration for some time, It might be well for manufacturers’ associations all over New England to consider it now more seriously and not walt until trouble is fomented and then try to lead the public to believe | ders.
