Chauffeurs Careless. An improvement has- been noticed recently in Danielson in observance of the laws governing the operation of motor vehicles. The most frequent cause for complaint at the present time is that drivers fail to sound warnings at cross streets, particular notice of this lapse from form being taken in the business section, where there is great danger for those who . cross streets. | | | MOTORED FROM KNOXVILLE. Tennessee Professor and Family Come to Summer Home. Professor Charles A. Perkins of the University of Tennessee and Mrs. Per- kins have arrived at the 0ld Warren homestead on the Green Hollow road to spend the summer, as is their cus- tom. Professor and Mrs. Perkins, one of their daughters and a friend made | the journev from Knoxville to Daniel- son in their automobile. a distance of about 1,000 miles, traveling during the tour in Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connect- icut The start from Knoxville was made Friday, June 6, the party arriving here Tuesday, four days in the meantime being without travel. In parts of cem- tral Virginia and at some other points on the route extremely poor reads were encountered, but the greater part of the distance was over highways on which satisfactory time could be made. Many interesting experiences occur- red during the long run and the trip was one of pleasure. Class Day and Graduating Exercises.

To | these exercises admission is by ticket | . but the graduating exercises this evening at 8 o'clock, when the address be delivered by Rev. A. M. Me- | Arthur, D.

Want to Succeed Commissioner Barber There is considerable local interest in the appointment that Governor Baldwin will make to fill the vacancy in the board of county commissioners catsed by, the death of County Com- missioner Charles E, Barber and this interest is acute in some quarters. There are several candidates for the appointment, which it is expected will be made in a short time and will be until October 1, 1915, when Commi sioner Barber’s term would have ex- pired.

Wood, who was. injured Tuesday when he was thrown from his motorcycle, wag comfortable Wednes- day, suffering only in a degree from the ‘bruises and other hurts that he re- ceived in the accident. He sald that he did not feel badly and expected to be out in a few days. » Mr. Wood says he was thrown from his machine when he struck a stone wall, near Phenix, R. I, after he had turned sharply out of the highway to avold running into an autetruck, which he was encountering at a turn and with which he was in fear of collision. No Danger of Strike. There is to be no strike of mill oper-' atives in Daniclson. An effort to stir up dissension among workers here has utterly falled, principally becausg of the fact that the operatives are em- ployed at satisfactory wages and un- der the best of mill conditions. This applies to about all of the textile plants in Killingly, where no distarb- ers of industrial conditions are want- ed either by the manufacturers, the operatives or the business interests. Anyone who attempts to start a strike in this town, without very good cause can be assured of having the general public aligned against him. Worcester Couple Wed—Ordination of Rev.

The spirit of clasa day was mani- fest In this elty Wednesday,when mem- bers of the various high school classes engaged in a contest of putting class flags at unreasonable heights, apparent- 1y, only, in most cases, to see them pulled down by the representatives of other classes. The clrimneys at the top of the high school building were first used for displays of class colors and numerals, operations_of the students later being transferred downtown. At the tip of the flagpole on the bank building late in the afternoon the senior and freshman class flags were fiylng, they having taken the place of a junior flag that was pulled down.

GOES TO JURY. White Case Finished in Superior Court Wednesday. In the superior court here Wednes- day the taking of evidence i tne cases of Edwin T. White and his wife, Jen- nie White, both of Pomfret, vs. the city of Putnam was completed, arguments concluded by counsel and the jury charged by Judge M. A. Shumway, who later excused them unui s morning, when they will deliberate as to a verdict. For the defense at Wednesd: 3 ting Dr. J. Bryden Kent of this c testified that he had professionally at- tended Mrs. White since the time she was injured and that, in his opinfon, she probably would almost perfectly regain the use of the limb that was breken in the accident which caused the case within a year or so Frederick Dumas, superintendent of streets, said that the accident occurred soon after 10 o’clock on the morning of Nov. 4, 1911. The first he knew of the affair was when he saw Mr. White on the ‘ground. Mr. Dumas testified that the necessary signs giving warning of danger to persons traveling the route were in place and that he had put them up himself at 7 o'clock that morning, when he started to work. The signs, he sald, were ten feet in length ud one foot in_ width, with the in- scription “Road Roller Working—Pass At Your Own Risk,” this In four-inch letters. Half of the signs were on the sldewalk and half in the street Mr. Dumas sald thut one standing at Leon- ard’s corner, near the high school, could easily see the road roller at wor 1t the other end of the street. Frank Preston, Danielson, who was operating the roller at the time the accident occurred, sald he was running the machine about two miles an hour and that the maximum speed of the machine is only three miles an hour.
