Boston, Feb. 23.—The proposal to regulate football games by plays instepd of by time was supported lo»’ day by Major Frank W Cavanaugh, head codch of the Boston collegs | eleven. The suggestion of Harry R.

Hartford, Feb. 23.—An appeal is to be made to the mayors and boards 1of aldermen of Hartford, New Ha- ven and Bridgeport for official sup- port in opposing the proposed in- creased coal rates on which a hear- | ing will be given at Boston March 3. Thp appeal will be made by the ex- ecutive committee appointed by the coal conference in New Haven last Friday. Hartford's representative on that committee was Samuel R.. Fer- guson. vice-president of the Hart- ford Electric Light company. Recent developments have shown that opposition to the new rates will come mainly from these three cities as they are made to bear the main burden of the increased rates. On the basis of the 1920 rail coal tonnage into Connecticut the new rates will produce a total of $400,000.

EDDY, Mgr. 50 NORTH & JUDD 50 STANLEY WORKS 10 COMMERCIAL TRUST C ' said Coroner Phelan. “Were it for the fire which followed the collision the loss of life would prob- ably have been small. “The theory that is advanced at the present time,”’ the coroner continueaq, “is that the motorman of one of the wrecked cars either ran by his own ' signal when it was set against him, or failed to attend to the signal so that the other motorman would know he | was in the biock. “When the crash occurred the car from Bridgeport had progressed quite a distance beyond its signal.

The motorman of the southbound car is dead, the conduct- or is in the hospital suffering from burns. The crew of the Bridgeport car had left the scene to receive med- ical attention so I have not yet taken a statement from any of the members of the crew. I expect to get the state- ments in the investigation which T will start in conjunction with the pub- lic utilities commission at 9:30 o’clock tomorrow morning. Bad Wreck. “The wreck was one'of the worst 1 have ever seen. Scenes at the spot where the two cars came together were terrible. The charred bodies of the victims, the smoking wrecks of the cars, and the throng of people looking for trinkets and bits of cloth- ing which would help identify the victims combined to make the picture a harrowing one.” Potter’s Statement. “One thing should bhe brought out clearly,” said Manager J. B. Potter of the Connecticut Company here to- day after a preliminary investigation of the scene of the trolley wreck at Shelton. “That is that there was absolutely nothing the matter with the block signal system. Everything indicates that it was working per- fectly before the accident. I know i from a personal inspection that it was [ working during the accident, and is still working perfectly. These facts were checked up by our own en- gineers and by the engineers for the public utilities commission. The only question is, which of the two crews ran by the signal. That will be determined by the measurements made by surveyors this afternoon. “Responsibility for the accident will be determined by measuring the distance covered in the block by the Bridgeport car and comparing it with the distance covered by the Shelton car at the time the collision occurred. Both cars, from what we can learn, were traveling at the same rate of speed—approximately ten miles an hour. It the spot where the accident occurred is farther away from Cook’s switch than from the cutout light at South helton, it would indicate that the Bridgeport car was the first one to enter the block and that it was the Shelton car which was at fault. “From an inspection of the ground yesterday afternoon it appears to me that the Bridgeport ¢Ar had pro- gressed farther in the block than the Shelton car.” Civilians Shoot Three Soldiers At Dublin Castle| Dublin, Feb.

Fordney Bill Agreement Hinges On Sugar Tariff ‘Washington, Feb. 23.—Chances for a complete agreement today between senate and house conferees on the Fordney emergency tariff bill, ap- peared to hinge on the possibility of reaching an accord on the sugar tar- iff added to the bill by the senate. Although agreements had been reached on several other items, house conferees continued to stand against any sugar tariff and also vigor- ously opposed the senate amendment increasing the duty on wheat from 30 to 40 cents a bushel. Senator Penrose, the senate conferees, declared, how- ever, that there was a ‘‘reasonable prospect’” of a complete agreement today.
