P. Hart's home on the New Britain road, escaped lightly this morning when his case was tried before Jus- tice M. O. Ryder. The original charges of reckless driving and abandoning a car were not pressed, that of speeding being substituted. On this Thomas was found guitly and fined $10 and costs of $13.36. Justice Ryder remitted §5 of the fine. Thomas admitted leaving the car across the highway after the acci- dent and even said that he had gone home and to bed, but he stated that he had sent his brother out to res- cue the machine and he did not know what more he could do. Grand Juror Charles F. Conlon warned him of the maximum penalty which could be intlicted for his offense but recommended a small fine, whieh was imposed by Justice Ryder. No Word From State Police Constable George Schubert is still waiting word from the state police regarding the identity of the driver of the second car which hit Robert Lydon Tuesday night on Farmington avenue. The number was read by the operator of the first machine to strike Lydon, and the state police were entrusted with locating the owner, a New Jersey driver. Mean- while, no action is being taken against E. B. Barker of West Hart- ford, whose car was first to strike Lydon Lydon's home, it has been learn- ed, is not in Milford, Mass, as pre- viously believed, but in Washington, D. C., where he lives at a soldiers’ home. He is 53 vears old, a Spanish- AVar veteran, and is pensioned by the government. His injuries will confine hira to the hospital for about three months, it is feared. Hoover, One Scssion Win Herbert Hoover may not have any connection with the one-session plan at the local High school, but the pupils voted in favor of both of them this morning. The balloting was done in the homs rooms of the pupils, there being no electioneer- ing. In the straw vote for presi- dent, Hoover received 267 to Smith's 143, while Foster received one lone vote. : The majority for one session was even more overwhelming, being 337 to 78. This vote was taken to certain the wishes of the pupils re- garding the question of one or two sessions at the High school. A similar vote is being conducted by mail among the parents of the pu- pils in an effort to find out if they approve the present noon-recess _xnd schedule. The last questionnaires have been mailed, and answers are expected immediately. Woman's Club Rally Politics occupied the members of the Woman's club at an open meet- ing yesterday afternoon in the town hall, a goodly number of women being present and hearing the speeches and ensuing discussion. Mrs. Joseph W. Alsop of TFarming- ton spoke on the republican plat- form, laying particular emphasis on its farm relief plank. Mrs. Ruth B. Walther of New Britain devoted her attention to the protective tar- iff. Both speakers then answered questions put to them by the wom- en present. Mrs. Howard §.
