EOWARD STER 80 DES OF INURES Maple Hill Man Was Struck by Kuto in Berlin Internal 4njuries suffered by Ed- ward Slater, 60 years old, a veteran | manufacturer of 76 Robbins avenue, Maple Hill, who was struck by an automobile Friday evening when he | attempted to cross the road at| ‘Worthington ridge, Berlin, were be- lisved to have been the cause of his death at the New Britain General hospital late yesterday afternoon. Although he also suffered a broken left shoulder blade, a frac- tured right arm, two broken legs he- low the knees, several fractured vibs and lascerations, relatives be- lieve that the direct cause of the death was from the internal in- 'Juries. Mr. Slater was superintendent of | the Bailey Mfg. Co. of Berlin whose chief product is screw drivers. The greatest part of its output is taken by F. W. Woolworth Co. for its chain stores. DPreviously Mr. Slater and a brother, Frank Slater, conducted the Slater Fngine Co. of Warren, Mass.,, and it was this company which made and installed thé Sl steam engines which were us supply operating power in factories | before the days of electric motors. Jor the past 10 years Edward Slater has been with the Berlin eompany. He was born in Beckley, but lived 4n the vicinity of New Britain prac- ’ tjeally all his life. For short inter- vals he made his home in Warren, Maes., and New York cify. While in this city he made his home near West Main and Lincoln streets and it is thought that he might have been a member of the family for whom Slater road was | named. - Mr. Slater was leaving the factor to return to his home when the cident octurred. He had ran ac the road to catch the bus which wa Jeaving the terminal on street. As he did so he narrowly missed being struck by one car but | he ran directly in the patch of an- other coming in the opposite direc- tion. This automobile, driven by Willlam H. Hurst of 174 Hanover avenue, Meriden, hit him and | knocked him to the pavement, The driver was found blameless at that time and when Berlin authorities discussed the matter again last night they founl no cause Charles F. Lewis, the prosccutor, could find no evidence fo hold him, he told Judge George Giswold. Surviving Mr. Slater are three brothers, Frank Slater of Berlin, Willlam Slater of Florida, , and George $later of Washington: two sistera, Mra. Frank Bacon of Berlin and Mrs. Louise Dunham of Port- 1and; a son, Dunlzp Slater of Maple Hill and a grandchild. Funeral sefvices will be held to- morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at the funeral home of B. C. Porter Sons, 19 Court street. Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Con- gregational church, will officiate. Burial will be in Fairview cemetery. Postmaster Erwin to Talk On Air Subjects to Boys|.

Despite the fact that last night was one of the coldest, it not the colrleat this winter, there is no {skating today. Park Superintendent [U)de Ellingwood made a trip |around the parks at 6 o'clock this | morning only to find that in some | places there was no ice at all on {the ponds and in others just a thin layer, not heavy enough to bear |weight. The high wind last night | kept the water from freezing, Mr. | Ellingwood states. At Stanley Quarter park the pond |was an open shect of water. It is | hardly likely that there.will be any skating until after several days of freezing weather. At Willow Brook park around the | Memorial field where efforts have been made to construct a skating r tion for skating for the smaller Hudson | for arrest, | pond, the banks which were washed \ out in the rain over the week-end have been restored, but no water ! |will be run in until the ground has! |been frozen to a depth of seven inches. | In the vicinity of this poud, a |smaller pond about 100 feet square ! lis filled with water and an attempt ! will be made to get this in condi- {children. Two days of cold weather are required before this will be | ready.
