Graham, 30 years old, of Waterbury, met instant death in Fairfleld between the station at Fairfield and that of Southport when he fell or threw him- self from a moving passenger train in the path of the Bay State express. His bdy was horribly mangled. Gra- ham was riding on an accommoda- tion train west bound. No one on the train upon which he was riding knew of the accident until it reached New York. The engineer of the Bay State express said he saw the man’s body fall in front of his train, but too late to make any effort to stop. Grahdm Wwas a brakeman in the em- ploy of the railroad, but was not on duty and not in uniform.

Pouzzner Separated But Hope to Meet Again for Trip. Maurice D. Myers and Daniel E. Pouzzner. former members of the Herald staff who enlisted last week in the U. S. army signal corps, avia- tion section, have written from Fort Slocum, where they are temporarily stationed awaiting orders to go to San Antonio, Texas. Although both enlisted from this office together, they write that they have become separated at the fort and have seen nothing of each other since their arrival, but they hope to again be able to ‘“pal up” for the trip south and thence “over there.” Mr. Pouzzner writes that Fort Slo- cum’is over-crowded and he and some other recruits are being housed at the Salem Baptist church in New Rochelle and he has sleeping quar- ters in the second floor corridor. Mr. Myers, in his letter, states that Fort Slocum accommodates only 4,- 500 but on Friday night, the night of his arrival with 4,000 other “rookies,” 11,000 soldiers slept there, while 4,000 more had to stay in New Rochelle, across the sound from the government post. In this connection he writes that the men slept in armories, churches, clubs, school- houses and private dwellings, he and 16 other recruits being assigned to the house thrown open by Million- aire Baxter. He says that the people in New Rochelle are very public spirited and treat the soldiers royally, giving them sleeping quarters, food, smoking articles and writing paper gratis. He also states that Gage Kent of Plainville is temporarily stationed with him as are a number of other New Britain men but due to the over- crowded conditions it is almost im- possible to locate many friends.
