Mr. Garrison intimated, however, that he might “do something” in the matter of giving support to the move- ment in favor of a continental army, the issue upon which his resignation hinged. This intimation came in re- sponse to a question put by newspaper men to whethar he would “give his moral support to those who con- tinue urging the policy of a continent- al army.’ " ‘T cannot answer that queston.” said the former sccretary of war, “be- cause it would infringe upon politics.

Mr. Garrison, in to further questions, said that he had no knowl- edge of the “intention of any other members of the cabinet to resign.” In respect to his own resignation, he said he had consulted with no other cabinet member, although Assistant Secretary Breckinridge was aware of his intention “I assumed,” he said, “if Mr Breckinridge remained in the same state of mind he would resign also.” Mr. Garrison dcclined to give a def- Inite answer as to when his decision 1o leave the cabinet was made, add- ing, however, that he thought the cor- respondence spoke for itself in the matter. to his future plans, he said, he xpected to resume the practice of law, but where and when he not yet certain.

Tidward McAloon the over- turned car early today and brought the news back to this city. The owner at once investigated and the yecords at Corbin's garage showed that Martin took the car out at 2:05 o’clock this morning. McMahon states that find his chauffeur at 7 cvening but he was mis gaged another driver to take Hartford. He put his car in the garage at 11 o’clock last night and supposed it had remained there until notified of the accident this morning. The accident occurred at the sharp turn from the Beech Swamp road lcading to the depot. The heavy car l:ad evidently swerved into the ditch and overturned. = It is miraculot ihat none of the: occupants was neither killed nor injured. Since the accident neither Martin or his companion has heen seen and it is supposed that they skipped town.

McMahon's car was towed back to this city this morning. It is not badly damaged and has only a broken door, a smashed windshield and broken lamps.
