Deaths of Pcrsons on Train at Noro- ton Saturday Taken Up By Coroner. Stamford, Conn., Sept. 13.—An in- quiry was made by Coroner Prelan today into the railroad accident at Noroton Saturday wherein Mr. and Mrs. William J. Lewis lost their lives. Railroad men told the coroner that the electrical discharge into a car In which were riding about 60 persons belonging to the Rubin and Cherry Carnival Co. was probably caused by the sagging of a high tension over- head wire in the energized zone of the New Haven railroad, this wire touching some projectign on the roof of the car. They said. that it was the first accident of this nature on the system. The fact that a wire had sagged is determined right aft- cr the accident by measurements.

Mexico City, Sept. 13.—(By Asso- ciated Press)—Clay T. Yerby of Los Angeles, Cal., has been granted a con- cession to construct an oil pipe line trom Puerto, Mexico, on the Gulf coast, to Salina Cruz, on the shore of the Pacific. This announcement was made here last night by J. P. Flynn, representative in Mexico City of Mr. | Yerby. Mr. Flynn @ id that more than one pipe hine would be laid but that work on the first, a ten-inch line would be- gin at once and would be completed within 26 months. The concession will run 18 years after the work of laying the line is completed. Fifty per cent. of the eapacity of all lines laid under the concession will be operated under federal regulations governing common carriers and. the remainder of the ca- pacity will be subject to contract by thy operating company. It is estimated that the cost of the work will be $10,000,000 gold and it is pointed out that by means of the pipe line the time of transporting oil from the east to the west coast of Mexico will be cut down by 11 days, and the distance covered will be 2,300 miles less than through the Panaima canal. Not only will the pipe line route provide cheaper fuel for indus- tries in the Mexican Pacific states but Mexican oil will be placed within easy reach of Pacific and Far East fueling ‘stations. Some months ago it was said the United States Shipping board had made a futile attempt to obtain a sim- ilar concession so that it might pro- vide a supply of fuel oil for the Pacific MARRY OUT OF TOWN Fridolph Johnson Wed At Cranston, R.
