The HARTFORD TROLLEY CARS ALL DELAYED Power Goes “Dead” for More Than Two Hours Hartford, Teb, 2.—Hartford and suburban street cars stood dead on the tracks of the Connecticut com- pany for two hours and thirty min- utes yesterday afternoon, except for intermittent moments. Power falled simultaneously on the 102 cars when a ground on the Rockville high tension line hurled its high voltage back through the wiring to the power house of the Connecticut company. The tremendously in- creased voltage threw every break- er In the power house, killing the current feeding the trolleys at ap- proximately 3:20 o'clock. For ten minutes, 102 trolleys with an un- estimated number of Sunday after- noon commuters stood where the falling power had left them, Meantime the engineers at the power house worked furfously throwing the breakers in by hand. Ten minutes later power was re- sumed. But at 5:15 the high ten- sion crossed the 'comparatively low 700 volts of the Connecticut com- pany again, throwing every switch once more and stopping the entire equipment of the Connecticut com- pany where it stood. Engineers worked furlously again at the power house but on a differ- ent procedure. The Rockville high tension was cut out by wiring around it. After 22 minutes more of inaction, service was resumed in 4he city at 5:30 according to Con- necticut company officials. Suburban lines to Rockville and Manchester were out perhaps 35 minutes longer. They were pro- nounced normal again at about 6:45 p. m. An extra Stafford Springs car was put on to meet the del; The taxicab company reported rushing business while the trolleys were out of comhmission. All cabs were in service during the tieup and demand far excceded supply. WILBUR SCOFFS AT GAS TALES Ridicules Tales of Next Var's Horrors Washington, Ieb. 2.—~Predictions that the much discussed “next war” will be more terrible than any lieretofore through the progress of sclene in developing poisons, were declared in a statement last night by Secretary Wilbur to be “ridiculous.” Production and transportation of poison gas in sufficient quantities to wipe out the cntire population of a city is impossible he said. Reports that scientific methods of wholesade destruction had been per- fected since the lastswar to such a point that wholo civillan popula- tions could be annihilated by the use of gases, germs and high ex- plosives, he asserted, are “not true and not justificd by past history or present condition.” The secretary thought “that the next war will be, like most of the wars in history, sporadic and local and involving comparatively —few people, and will be relatively quick- ly ove Secretary Wilbur said that those who predict vast cxpansion of the wedding took- place at the home of the bride's 1900, Rev.

Let them choose other prelates from among the persons authorized to remain here, and the government will spect them.

The fatalities occurred in broad daylight on str open to traffic in Bridge- nearly all of the accidents were caused when sleds carrying children ran into or under the wheels of au- tomobiies. Incomplete statistics for the past year indicate that 76 children met death in Connecticut motor vehicles accidents during 1924, as compared with 70 automobile fatalities to children in the previous year. Chil- dren made up more than “per lcent of all the victims of fatal auto- {the state in the year ended Decem- ber 31, the whole number of fatali- ties recorded at the capital being 299, an Increase of 13 over’ 1923, April, June and October were the worst months for fatalities for chil- dren, The Playground and Recreation assocMtion of America, of which Mrs. Charles A. Goodwin of Hart- ford is a director for Connecticut, has appealed to the motor vehicle department for assistance in giving publicity to a campaign to take children out of the paths of danger by providing more playgrounds for them. A letter sent out by Mrs. Goodwin to many Hartford people Isays that Connecticut received serv- ice from the assoclation in 1923 cost- ing $1,000 more than fricnds in the state contributed, but that the state balanced the account last year. “Much needs to be done in Connec- ticut and clsewhere,” says the letter, | i | “More than 19,000 children under 15 | were killed by traffic in America in four years according to a recent re- port of the national safety council.
