Perplexities—Everybody Polite, With O Exception, but Reserved—The Enquirer Might Have|d Been Silent Instead of Insolent—The Facts Were Work- Policeman - John H 2 New Londoner by birth, and a/lifelong resi- dent by choice, is the traffic officer at the corner of Bank and State #treets, which- is the busiest and. most con- gested section of the city. He is a competent and extremely. courteous officer, and serves the public faithful- ly and well, but “Jack” Hogan ha: his troubles during his regular tour duty, and it is well that he possesses such a genial disposition and makes | due allowance of the vagaries of man- kind. Last Sunday afternoon, while auto- mobiles were-rushing along in almost continous lines In both directions and trolley cars were arriving and depart- ing from the State street terminal, woman walked to the middie of the street where the officer was stationed and asked which car to take to the cemetery. “Jack” informed the woman there were three cemeteries—the Jor- dan, St. Mary's, and -Cedar Grove. She was directed to the proper car when she_designated Cedar Grovebut made no move in that direction. The vehicular traffic seemed to increase, but the woman did not move, although the officer touched her arm gently and pressed In the direction of the side- walk, but she did not move. Finally “Jacl realizing he was neglecting his duty by giving =0 much attention !o| the woman, firmly but politely sa 'My good woman, unless you get out of here and on to the sidewalk you are liable to take a trip to Cedar Grove in a hearse instead of a trolley car. The woman hurried to the sidewalk, stood on the curbing and laughed. So did “Jack” laugh. With a “Thank you, Mr. Officer!” the woman said: “That joke is not so bad” and hurried away just in time to catch the car that runs to the cem- etery. “Jack’ had hardly assumed his cus- tomary composure when along came a group of four automobiles, two foreign and two locally owned. The two for- eigners took the long sweep and pro- ceeded up along on the right side of State street, while the two local ma- chinfes cut the corner short and went up on the left side of the street, in di- rect violation of the traffic law, which led “Jack” to remark: “What do you know about that? Say, wouldn't there be a howl if I haied that pair of gentlemen into the police court? Did you notice that one of them was a doctor and the other a furniture dealer, but with no under- taking Dbusiness attached? Both are familiar with the traffic rules, but they _seem to imagine,as do many oth- er New Londoners, that they are priv- ileged characters, but some day they Il find they are mistaken. The drivers of locally owned automobiles give me more trouble than all the others com- bined. “Jack” said traffic officer ion, for it teaches one cives no time to consider one’ trials and tribu- lations outside of the business life in h one Is engaged. I like the job, because it was the best I could get” said he. “but just as soon as the Plant building is erected no more police business for me.” Not long ago Leonard Saunders of- fered me the position, not the job, of superintendent of the bullding, and with more pay than is given for po- lice work. Say, I accepted so quickly that Mr. Saunders couldn't reply for a minute or two, and then all he could say was the place is mine and that no others need apply.” The traffic officer has his troubl and so does the news-gatherer once or twice in a lifetime, at least. Here is a little instance that happened the present week. Last Tuesday afternoon Engineer Charies Vars of the shore Line express bound to New York was injured fatally while riding in the cab, and died before reaching the hospital, as told in the Westerly news in The Bulletin on Thursday morning. When the train arrived at Westerly, the first stop from the scene of the fatal- ity, a_passenger gave the information that the engineer of the train had been injured at Hillsgrove. So the news-gatherer boarded the train and in- The asked the.rear-end trainman for formation regaring the matter. trainman gave the name of the engi- neer, but he said he knew of no de- tails, as he went to the rear when the train was stopped to protect the train as required bv regulations, but sug- gested inquiry of the middle train- man. That gentlerman knew nothing of how the fatal Injuries were recelved, but told of the nature of the wounds. adding that the engineer was probabl: leaning out of the cab window and was struck by the obstruction. Then along came the conductor. He, too, sald he knew nothing of the details, but presumed that Mr. Vars was struck by the arm of one of those mail catchers, as the wounds indicated something of that kind. He gave the information that an engineer who had been a passenger on the train was in the cab and would take the train to New London, but that he did not know his name. At New London the station agent oned. He gave the name of the substitute engineer and also the name of the engineer that was to re- lieve him and take the train to New York. He also gave the information that Engineer Vars had died before he reached the hospital. but he had re- ceived no detalls. The station masier did not know the name of the fireman, | but satd he was on the engine, and suggested that the news-gatherer see | the | him and get the retails. as he only man in the cab with the engineer when the Injury was roceived. Off hurried the news-grtherer to the head of the long train, anticipating a prehensive interview with the man. fireman could be had he was first| asked for his name, and with this re- | sult. “What's my you?

The train Had hardly moved its | on the piatform was asked the name of | the fireman of that train and was told | that the fellow was Charley Lindsley. Then the newszather unbosemed him- self and received the response, “That's L all you could expect from that fellow. Soon thereafter the ather had a chat with a group of railroad em- loyes, familiar with the raliroad from ston to New York. They could lo- cate no mail catcher near Hillsgrove that could have struck Mr. Vars, but one suggested that there was a danger Pot near Olneyville where such an ac- cident could have occurred, but that was five or w®ix miles distant from Hillsgrove, and had Mr. Vars been nit thero and rendered unconscious his condition would have been discovered by the firemen soon thereafter. Per- haps the reason why the firemen did I not 1elate the details was because he had no such knowledge, and all he { knew of the matter was that he found Mr. Vars unconscioue and stopped the train. But he certainly knew his own length when a railroad man standing{ ‘Evef try Doan's Kidney Pills for 1t? Know they are for kidney Back-. ache—and for other iidney (Iis?
