TO MEND IS WAYS Senator Klett Produces Letters at Hearing in Hartford New Britain’s representatives put the strongesc kind of objection yesterday at the hearing before the public utilitie§ commission against the petition of the New Haven road to continue the operation of locomo- tives backwards upon various lines, chiefly branch roads. The local at- tack was centered against the peti- tion to continue such operation be- tween Bristol and Hartford on the sc-called ‘“‘dinky” trains. Senator G- W. Klett, led tnc attack and put up a good case. He was ably seconded by Corporation Counsel J- E. Cooper, Councilman G. M. Landers, chair- man of the railroad committee of liie councii, Maycr G. A. Quigley and Mayor James Cray of Bristol. C. L. Bardo, general manager of the railroad company, spoke for peti- tioners and bore the brunt of the de- tense when New Britain’s represen- tative attacked the proposition. Man- ager Bardo adwmitted that expense Was what the company is fighting against in opposing the new statute. He said it wou'd cost $12,000 to in- stall a turntable at Bristol and $9,- 000 at New Britain. This would n- clude the cost of property in Bristol. Another thing would be loss of time ip maintaining schedules and he de- clared that it would consume an hour in detaching a locomotive from & passenger train, switching to a turn-table, revolving and returning. ‘When this staterment was questioned, Mr. Bardo .stoutly maintained his contention, claiming that many condi- tions would intervene to delay matters in performing such an operation. Corpotation Counsel Cooper Lrought out that nearly half of the twenty-six grade crossing between Bristol and Hartford are included in the corporate iimits of New Britain. Manager Bardo testified at length concerning the safety of train opera- ton and declared that trains could be operated 45 miles an hour run- ning backwards. Reduction to 20 miles an hour made after the Clay- ton wreck but he would not admit that the Clayton wreck had been caused by this mode of operation, saying that the exact cause had never been determined He told of methuds on different roads to prevent water shifting in the tender tanks at curves, which is thought to have been ‘re- sponsible for overturning the “dink™ at Clayton. This is done by the use of plates which dissect the tanks ver- tically, horzontally and diagonally. He thought the shorter wheel base of the tender might have caused the wreck in. question. Mr. Bardo also spoke of the heavy cost of train operation and placed the figures at $2.04 per train mile and gave the figures of income at about $1.30 a mile, which would show a lose in operation of 70 cents a mile. In closing his argument against the petition, Judge Klett sprung some- thing of a sensation in the form of letters from Seiator Whiton, chair- man of the raiiroad committee, 14 relation to the matter. Mr- Klett first-called attention to the legislative action taken last winter. He saild it was not the aim of the railroad com- mittee to force hardship upon tha railroad and for that reason the ori- ginal bill, which was rather drastic, was amended to give the utilities commission final power in the matter. This action was taken after confer- ences with railroad officials, one which took place at the Hartford club, when General Manager Bardo was present. The understanding was that the railroad company would not oppose the change desired between Bristol and Har‘ford. Senator Whiton confirmed this agreement in his let- ters to Mr. Klett, which the latter read for the benefit' of the commis- sion. LONDON COMMENTS ON ARCHIBALD LETTERS “No Apologies” Says the Chronicle Can Wipe Out Stain or Insults To American People. London, Sept. 22, 8:52 a. m.—A place of prominence second only to the budget is given by the morning papers to the Archibald correspond- ence, and most of them comment upon it editorially. ‘“No apologies,” says the Chronicle can wipe out the stain or explain away the insults to the American people—Those idiotic Yankees’ as Captain Von Papen describes them.” The Standard says: “The Yankees are not so ‘idiotic’ as the superior Capt. Von Papen thinks, and are less impressed then he expects to the peo- ple of the United States chiefly in the form of the killing of non-combatants. McCORMACK A HERO. Noted Singer Saves Sculptor From Drowning. Sept. 22.—John MecCor- mack, the singer, vesterday saved Mario Korbel, the sculptor, from drowning in Long Island Sound, near here. Korbel, with McCormack’s ac- companist, Edwin Schneider, was cruising in the small yacht Aphrodite, when a sndden gale capsized the craft. McCormack was nearby in a power boat and speeded to the rescue. Korbel could not swim, and was sinking when McCormack plunged overboard, grasped him by the hair, and finally succeeded in pulling him aboard the power boat. Schneider could swim a little and he kept afioat Noroton, until he was picked up. All three are summer residents at Tokeneke, near here.

Boston, Sept. 22.—The Red Sox, leading team of the American league by four games were acclaimed as pen- nant winners by Mayor Curley in a letter received by President J. J. Lannin of the Boston club today. “It is a great honor which you have brought to Boston,” the mayor wrote. “No baseball team in the country has ever played a fairer or more manly game.” Red Sox officials are engaged in preliminary activities looking toward preparations for the world series. TUntil the title is clinched more se- curely, Mr. Lannin said, no an- nouncement of plans will be made, but the office staff is caring for the many details that precede such a geries. Between 2,000 and 3,000 ap- plications for seats already have been received. Mr. Lannin has under consideration an offer from President James E. Gaffney of the Boston Nationals, in- viting him to use the Braves’ Field should the Red Sox go into the world series. It was said that the greater seating capacity of the field, which can accommodate approximately 50,- 000 spectators, might prompt accept- ance of the courtesy. FLIES OVER TRENT.

China, Sept. 22.—The council of state, sitting as the pro- visional congress, advised President Yuan Shi-Kai today to call a citizens’ convention before the end of the present year to act on a new constitu- tion which will settle the question whether China is to be a republic or a monarchy. The provisional constitution pro- vides that a citizens’ convention called by the people must approve constitutional changes, but the memo- randum of the council of state sug- gests that Yuan Shi-Kai may “devise other proper and adequate means to consult the people’s will with the view that a fundamental solution be found, so that the general situation may be settled and the people’'s mind be eased.” This recommendation transfers the responsibility to Yuan Shi-Kai. It is generally believed he will call a citi- zend’ convention promptly, although there are rumors to the effect that he Peking, T T R 5 CUSTOM MADE HATS Designed and created in- dividually to meet the wishes of each client. 3 MILLINE ORIGINAL CREATIONS OF I LOUISE, LUCIE HAMAR AND Exact copies of characteristic Hats’ Reboux, Evelyne Varon, Maria Guy, Li Paulette Berthe, Susanne Talbot, Geo Duc and other Paris Modistes. 3 i K In !reg. an ‘ trotteur uality at prices.
