MR. & MRS. LOUIS SCHMIDT AND FAMILY DEPTH BOMBS KILL FISH. New London Protests Damage to Im- portant Industry. New London, Conn., Sept. 9.—Heavy gun practice and experiments with depth hombs of Fort Wright has caus- ed fishermen to protest against the maneuvers in local waters. Hundreds of barrels of fish of many varieties were killed yvesterday in the Race by the explosion of depth bombs, accord- ing to the lobster men who were out hauling their gear. Many kinds of fish were killed and floated on the surface in an almost unbroken line trom Race Rock., where the first charge was dropped by a destroyer, to Bartiett's Reef, two miles away. Some of the lobster men picked up a few of the fish, one boat coming in with over two barrels. Most were blackfish, but there were cod, weak- fish, scup, eels, flounders, herring and many other smaller fish to be had by merely scooping them into the boat with a net. “TOO MUCH NERVE TO DIE” So Says Physiclans of Flier Who Suvrived West Virginia Crash Montgomery, W. Va., Sept. 9.— Corporal Alexander C. Hazelton, army airman, who was the only one of five to escape death when the Martin bomber in which they were flying from Charleston to Langley Field, Va., crashed at T'wenty Mil eCreek, Nichols county, last Saturday, “has too much nerve to die,” physicians who are at- tending him at a local hospital de- clared today. Hazelton today had recovered suffi- clently to talk some of the accident, and despite the terrible experience he endured appeared jolly and joked with the doctors and nurses. And this despite two broken legs, a dis- located hip and internal injuries. Phsicians say his indomitable will power and remarkable nerve will be important factors in his recovery,, which is now expected. For two days Hazelton hung down- warn, unconscious, from the wrecked plane, until he was recvued by a farmer who found him and the bodies of his former flying com- panions. He expressed gratification today that unconsciousness had spared him the torture that othe wise would have been his during those swo days. COTTO NING REPORT.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER o, SCIENTISTS HEAR SAFETY FIRST WEEK SEPTEMBER 19-24 | Police, Rotary Club, Churches,| and Schools Co-operating Forty-five thousand United States soldiers were killed during the World | War, while 92,000 pedestrians and motorists were killed in auto dents in this country in the year 1920, according to a statement made Motor Vehicle Commissioner Rob- | bins P. Stoeckel, at a recent Rotary | clur meeting in discussing the coming eafety first campaign. The campaign for safety first week in New Britain will assume definite shape at a meet- ing of a joint committee of the Ro- tary club, and Chamber of Commerce, which will meet at the Chamber of Commerce rooms this evening at 7:30 o'clock Chief of Police Willi acci- of am Rawlings and is the prime mover in suggesting |the campaign in this ci ‘Tontrary to the general impres- sion,” said an officer of the joint com- m¥tee recenaly, ‘this campadgn' is not to be directed primarily against motorists. It is a campaign to edu- cate the people to take care of themselves wherever they are.” People riding on street cars, who off or on while cars are in mo- tion. Careless Vicycle riders, etc., were mentioned by this man as some of the instances which would be em- phasized durin the week. “Why™, he continued, Nobody knows when a bicycle is going to wobble from one side to the other, yet we see boys ride with their arms folded, their hands off the ndle bars and their feet off the pedal Only their luck and a kind providence saves them from injury or death.” Another instance of recklessness which has been brought to atten- tion to one member of the commit- tee in an editorial published in a recent edition of the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Al Quaker city imnan was driving along the street at a moderate rate of speed when his cap blew off. Still driving, he turned and reached back into the rear of the car for his cap. When the in- evitable crash came and his car was wrecked against the side of a nearby building. his wife was killed and he was severely injured. Freight jumping is a subject which often comes in for considerable dis- cussion at safety first week campaigns ané no doubt will receive its share of attention in this campaign. Just ex- uctly what the pictures will contain has not been announced but stereopti- con views will be shown in various portions of the city, in an effort to impress upon the people the folly of taking chances. “One of the mo: get dangerous habits some people have,” said another man this morning, s that of darting across streets without looking about. This causes many accidents which could be avoided.” In connection with his statement that twice as many people had been killed in motor accidents in 1920 than were U. S. soldiers killed during the war, Commissioner Stoeckel stated that the first six months of 1921 showed a 20 per cent increase. The various committee members which will meet with Chief Rawlings Rotary club committee, George Dyson, chairman: R. O. Clark, J. R. Andre Abram Buol, John B. Miner, Rev. Henry W. Maier; of the Chamber of Commerce committee, Dr. T. E. Reeks, P. F. King, J. B. Comstock, Rev. J L. Sullivan, Stanley H. Holmes, E. E. Weeks and Clarence W. Buckey. Special text books dealing with the safety first problem will be used in the public schools in all probability that week. LEGION MEX DISPUTE HARVEY Call Statement at Pilgrims Dinner in London an Untruth Newberry, S. C., Sept. 9.—Resolu- tions describing as “a lie” the state- men made by Ambassador Harvey at the London dinner of the Piligrims Society on the reason why America entered the war were adopted at the convention here of the South Carolina department of the American Legion. The resolutions request President Harding to recall Mr. Harvey and ad- minister a public rebuke to him. Amendments seeking to inject a time honored adjective before the word “lie,” were defeated only after heated debate by the 300 delegates, who finally decided that the resolution would carry more weight if the ad- jective were omitted LINDER'S REPORT READY. Thomas Linder has completed his report on the appraisal of the State Normal school and has sent a copy of the report to Leonard Asheim of Bridgeport, who represented the state in the appraisal. Messrs. Lin- der and Asheim together with Ap- praiser Ahearn of Hartford have agreed upon a price at which the city is to buy the school TO NAME INVESTIGATORS.

Y., Sept. 9.—A radical change in the religious atmosphere of Syracuse University must be 1 before Methodist preachers will aid in the cam- paign to raise $1,500,000 to lift the debt of the university. It was disclosed at a meeting of the East District of the Cen- tral fNew York conference at Manlius yesterday. Clergymen who are well ac- | f quainted with the university declar- | ¢d they would do nothing to aid in| the campaign until there was a shifting of the spiritual surroundings. They pointed to the fact that, when they have been called upon to preach at chapel ex s at the university, not only have they been greeted by a con- gregation of students which could be counted on the fingers, but tuat not one professor, the leaders of thought, could be found in the group. There must be a return of the spirit- ual atmosphere which characterized th institution when it was founded fifiy i I c t | v church, they declared, or theve will be no funds forthcoming for its mainten- ance from Syracuse churches of the East Distric Chancellor James R. Day is expected to go before his fellow pastors and tell them of the university needs, Some of the ministers say he is going to be the target of some hot shots from other Methodist preachers. JAPANESE CROWDS HONOR PRINCE Two and One-Half Million Pay Respects to Jap | ¢ i Bt Tokio, Sept. 9.—(By the Associated Press)—Tokio’s two and one half mil- lion people today gave a characteris- tic expression of Japanese loyalty 1o Crown Prince Hirohito the heir ap- parent, whose recent successful tour of the Occident has appealed to pop- ular imagination and undoubtedly aroused new and more democratic in- terests in the imperial family. Mayor Goto gave a popular recep- tion in honor of the crown prince whom the people now regard as the real head of the empire owing to the illness of the emperor. Thousands cheered as the crown prince with hi democratic bearing and easy oratorical manner addressed the multitude, voic- ing satisfaction over the efforts at municipal improvement in keepinz with Tokio's place among the world's |. great cities. Tonight a mamoth procession bear- inga hundred thousand Japanese lan- terns, serenaded Prince Hirohito's palace. He again addressed the multi- tude emphasizing the urgency of es- tablishing world peace. The events of the past week tend to show that the throne is beinz brought closed to an abandonment of the ancient period of exclusiveness. t t I t i t AGAINST SUNDAY MOVIES Reeve of Engelwood, I, Them Campaign Tssue. Hackensack, N. J., Sept. 9.—A new issue has been introduced into the Bergen County Assembly campaign today by the declaration of F. Ham- ilton Reeve of Englewood, republi- can candidate for the assembly, that he is opposed to Sunday movies. Mr. Reeve’s statement at a meeting of the Hamilton Republican club last night ereated a sensation. William Delorenzo of Hackensack. also an assembly candidate, has no such scruples. However, at the same meeting he declared that he saw no more harm in the exhibition of decent motion pictures on the Sabbath than in Sunday golf, tennis or baseball. Makes DROWNS IN PONTOOSUC LAKE.
