The letter is sent to automoblle clubs throughout the state, asking them to send delegates to a meeting next Mo: day at the Hotel Stratford, Brdige- port, when s for securing these proposed To3! Jimprovements will be discussed. Secretary Charles M. Robinson calls the meeting in the following letter: In re Trunk Line Roads. Dear Sirs: ‘Al a meeting of the Ward of directors of the.Conuecticut: Automobile association on the 20th inst,, the following vote was passed: “That a committee be appointed, consglsting of the president, Mr. Sta- ples, and two others, to be chosen by him, for ‘the purpose of taking up with such boards of trade of various citles as may be Interested, and with other interested parties, the questlon of the organization of a Connecticut Good Roads association for the pur- pose of making permanent pavements on the trunk line highways of this state, This committee to report at a future meeting. of this board.” In accordance with this vote, Presi- dent Staples appointed as the other two members of the committee J. M. Emerson of Ansonla and the writer. I am directed to act as secretary of the committee .until a permanent organiza- tion is effected. Two Paved Highways First. The purpose of this movement is to obtain in the first place a paved high- way 18 or 20 feet wide running from Portchester, N. Y. through Green- wich, Stamford, South Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven, Saybrook, New London and Stonington, and a north. and south road running from New Haven through Wallingford, Meriden, Hartford and up the Con- necticut valley to the state line on the north. . Norwich on East to West Road. Another east to west highway is proposed running from the state line near Danbury through Deanbury, Wa- terbury, Thomaston, Terryville, New Britain, Hartford, Manchester, Ando- ver, Willimantic, Norwich and down to New London. The type of road, whether concrete, macadam, concrete with a tar dressing, wooden block, or brick, 18 a question to be settled later. It is conceded by all that a water- bound macadam road is absolutely in- adequate under heavy traffic, as it ne- cessitates frequent rebuilding and causes an expense of at least 200 per cent. per year for upkeep, if the road is kept in repair. Build Road to Last. It is conceded’ by every business man that a more permanent road, al- though It may cost twice as much on the original contract, will at the end of five years cost very much less than any attempt to maintain a water- bound macadam. A good permanent highway built on the route above outlined will bring thousands of dollars a year into the state of Connecticut and will mean an increase of millions in the taxable value of property. The increased bilists are perfectly willing to run 15 or 20 miles over an ordinary dirt road if the 100 miles traveled to get to the turn-off furnishes good ruuning. Want 5,000 Voters Behind It. The only manner in which we can obtain this much to be desired high- way Is through organization. The Con- necticut Automobile association has obtained satisfactory legisiation through the fact that its 8,600 mem- bers scattered "all over the state of Connecticut can and do express to their representatives at Hartford thelr views on these matters. The perma- nent paving idea must have a backing of at least 5,000 organized voters and from what we in the Connecticut Au- tomobile association know of the situ- ation this membership can be obtained. ‘We must have a technical commit- tee to obtain information and statistics in regard to the various forms of pavements and to determine the pave- ment we will seek to have lald down over this route. Work in the Legislature. We must have a bill drawn to pre- sent to the legislature and must have an active legislative committee back of this bill in order to put it through during the next session of the legis- lature. The idea which seems to pre- vall among those with whum we have talked is that this improvement shouid be made through an issue of bonds, and that the $300,000 which will come this year and following years from the direct state tax on automobiles should be devoted to ing the interest and creating a -sinking fund on these bonds. There must also be established a permanent headquarters for the as- sociation in order that.correspondence may be taken care of, speakers sent to various localities to arouse interest and obtain membership and to trans- act the business which necessarily will come to an assoclation of this charac- ter. Moeting Called for Monday. You are requested to send three delegates to a meeting to be held at the Hotel Stratfield in Bridgeport on Monday, Aug. 5th, at 3 p. m. These delegates will organize, will elect at least temporary officers, and will de- cide upon definite plans for the fu- ture. As such a road will be of great di- rect benefit to you and to your com- munity, we trust you will not fail to have representatives present. The initial expense which will be necessary for stationery, postage, rent, clerk dire, etc., will be borne by subscrip- tions from the various bodies Inter- ested. After the association is started it seems certain that it can be run upon $1 subscriptions from automo- bilists and other interested parties, Trusting that you will have delegates present, I beg to remain, Very truly yours, C. M. BOBINSON, Secretary Organization Committee, C. A A Such a road or roads would bring thousands of doliars worth of business into the state. It will be the most popular run in the United States and automoblle tourists from all over the United States will make it thelr ob- Jective point. If it succeeds Connecti- cut will be the ploneer state in the permanent pavement idea. TWO SUFFRAGISTS ON AUTO TRIP TO OHIO Miss Emily Pierson And Miss Annie Forsythe Begin Vacation Outing.

One Hundred and Three Violent Déaths During the Past Month. From unofficial records there were 102 violent deaths in th% state during July, of which drowning claimed 28. Not all of those drowned, however, were unable to swim for nearly half were swimmers who were taken with cramps while in the water. The heat wave claimed eight victims by direct fatal prostration, and there were five ‘Thomicides. Sixteen persons were killed on the railways and automobiles, {ll- uminating gas, electricity and fire each claimed four victims. In spite of the heavy travel on the trolley cars only two violent deaths are attributed di- rectly to that agency. A single death s credited to Fourth of July fire- works. As compared with June fa- talities were increased by 23. Salvation Army Without Meeting Place. Capt. Brant of the local corps of the Salvation Army is just at present without a place for headquarters since George . W. - Carroll is having the Franklin street building torn down where the army has been located for some time. While in that building Mr. Carroll generously donated the rent and paid the water bill. It puts the army in a dilemma to be without headquarters, but Capt. Brant is hop- ing soon fo find a place. He would welcome the use of a tent for meetings during the summer. Was In West a Month.

Well Known Nerwich Man Gets Writ- ten Up on Visit to Springfield. Bold, bad pirates, blood thirsty can- nibals, North sea icebergs and desert islands have played a large part in the life of Charles May, aged 70, They began te play their roles when he went to sea at the age of 13, and continued for 14 years, until he gave up the sea and took to curing ailing people who live around Norwich, Ct.,, with the aid of mystic “yarbs.” They have con- tinued playing impertant roles ever since, but for. 43 years the roles have been only in the tales which the old seaman tells te the little flocks of lis- teners which group about him. He is this week visiting his son, H. T. May, who lives at 202 Oakland avenue, says the Springfield Republican. Fourteen Thrilling Years. “Dr.” May has had a most eventful history. There was not a year in those 14 seafaring ones that he did not pass through an experience which today makes his small granddaughter's eyes “bug out” at the telling. He was in irons for weeks on a pirate ship during the time of the Civil war, and narrow- ly escaped death by the “plank.” He battled with 80-foot whales among the icebergg off the mor'west coast of Si- beria. He was hunted by brown sav- ages In the sands of African coasts, and narrowly escaped being gored to death by a mad bull on the island of Juan Fernandez, west of Chili—the very dot of land on which Robinson Crusos “made him a coat of a nanny- 50&1!" and discovered his faithful Fri- ay. At the_door of his son’s house on; Oakland avenue the old gentleman ex- tended a gnarled and leathery hand to a visitor the other evening. He usher- ed the visitor into the little parlor and gave him the best willow rocker, while he himself sat on a straight chair and told stories—the most entertaining sto- ries imaginable. With many a flourish of the hand and many a chuckle which almost shut the bright blue eyes, the old salt launched into the tales which all his acquaintances so much enjoy. On Crusoe'’s Island. His first trip to the Robinson Crusoe island was in 1857. He was but 14, and had been on the sea only a year with his father, who was captain of a small whaling ship. The ship, of which the elder May was captain and the younger May a third mate, then moved up to the western American coast and thence northwest through Bering Straits into the whaling seas. It was 46 months later, after a second stop at the little island which Robinson Crusoe made famous in the story by Daniel DgFoe, that May’'s ship came back to port in New London, Ct. But the boy had an experience in the northern whaling waters which made him remember the 46 months’ cruise as if it were only vesterday. Captive on Privateer Alabama. If thers had been in Mr, May's sea days’any bold, bad pirates wearing red turbans and adorning thelr counte- nances with brass rings, knives and other trinkets, he would have had some experiences with them; but, strange to relate, he was never made to walk the plank by the real dime novel villains, His terrible weeks as a eaptive of the Alabama, which reamed the high seas during the Civil war, were the nearest appromch he ecould meke to an encounter with pirates, The Alabama, or 280, as ghe was knewn, eruised abeut énrin: ?aa years of eivil strife, helped h to the eontents of any nertherm ship that eame in sight, and disposed of the ship hulks by fire, The eaptain of t}xe geed ship Pai- mette, en which May was sailing, & craft which carried only eight hands on its fatal trip te the West Indies with a carge of wine, butter, cheesq S T ons] abama DOT! Terror struck into the The crew of the Palmetto ‘wonder if death would come myfl huninlml \ cerned the while. Between mou s of ple he remarked that If he was go- ing to Davy Jones' locker he wanted to go with a full stomach. Ko heartburn for a day and a chuckled the old seaman, with a twin- kle of his biue eyes. Which statement al it plain that he did not meet ?Mth immediately, as his companions thought would be .the fate of all of them. Instead, the eight were taiken aboard, put in irons and allowed to watch their ship burn until the butter and cheese and wine went down in & sizzling mess toward the bottomless Wouldn't Fire on the Flag. For a long tinie May wore his irons ntily, and did what the captain told to do, except one thing. He re- fused to help fire into two union mer- chantmen which were taken a few days later. He informed the little mpu&n—c man Wwho we 1 pounds and wore his mus e waxed —that he was ndbt a traitor to the cause and never would he ald anybody to fire onthe Stars and Stri) No, sir, by Godfrey! not if he died by slow torture. 'This proud boast was almost fulfilled, for the Alabama ran out of provisions a few weeks later and the gn-oners went 18 long days without f'ood or water—er, well, that is, they lived on nothing but a few crusts and water. Finally the Alabama handed its prisoners over to a British man o’ war off the coast of Portugal and the crew of the Palmetto was sent home to America. _ Adventure With a Hurrican ‘Without time for a fresh breath. in the little parlor on d avenue, the scene was once more shifted sud- denly, and very vividly. The visitor now saw the flat calm waters of the South sea. The barometer was falling fast and the dead quiet presaged but ono thing—a hurricane. The ship was blown around by the awful, tearing, dead-stralght rush of air until she wag broadside and tipped over on her side. For elght hours the hellish wind, which had a power unmeasureable, swept the sea and drove the suffering ship to loo’ard. 8he was just an ounce too heavy to be blown completely over and at the end of the elght hours the wind let up and she righted herself. The computing Instfuments made known the unbelieveable fact that the big boat had been blown sideways through the sea for 40 miles in eight hours, which is at ‘a rate of five miles an hour—an occurrence never before recorded in the annals of seafaring. Shooting a Waterspout. Straight winds are not the only kind that blow on the seas, and the old tar has seen some of the worst storms that ever blew the lid off the for'd hatch, Al one time a giant waterapout swoop- ed across the water toward his ship. The roaring thing bore down on them, and the men aboard gave up hope. Then May concelved a wild plan and dashed aft to get his musket. He aim- ed his fiun at the glant column of water which was towering above him, @nd—whang! The concussion of the shot against the waterspout broke it, and the whole thing collapsed, causing such high seas that the ship's deck was swept by waves, But the little bark was saved, and May was the hero of the heur. All True Tales. Charles May, who has been mate’'on many a good ship, and salled the high seas o'er, has never esperfenced any- thing impossible. His stories sound strange, but they are true—of ocourse they are true. Probably there will never again be a pirate ship to bear down on a small merchantman and capture the trembling crew, one of Whom 1s very full of dried-peach pie; but it happened in 1883, There is small likellhood that any ship will ever be blown on her side 40 miles in eight hours through a south sea, but it un- doubtedly was done once. There are many things which have taken place on the distant sea with few persons to witness them that may never happen again, yet they are interesting when they come from the lips of those who have experienced them, and especially 80 when they are told by Charles May, able bodied seaman. BRANDEGEE WILL HELP, The Senator Promises to Use His In- fluence for Noank Lobstermen. Capt. J. S, Latham of Noank, sec- retary of the Fishermen's Protective aseoclation, has received from Senator Frank B. Brandeges an answer to a request that the assoclation made of the war department a short time ago to have the forts cease firing during slack water. Senator Brandegee writes the cap- tatn that he will forward the associa-~ tlon's request to the secretary of war and will urge the secretary to grant the request that the big gun fire from Fort Wright be held up during slack water. Remonstrance Before County Com- missioners. A remonstrance has been filed with the county commissioners against granting the application of Joseph Oldbrees for a transfer of his liquor license from 121 Bradley street to 171 Main street, New London. The remonstrance sets forth that the premises, 171 Maln street, are an unfit place for a saloon and also that there are too many saloons in the vi- cInity.
