LINCOLN, 5 - County Agent N Everybody along the -22 miles from Norwich to the Connecticut State Ag- ricultural college at Storrs knew on Wednesday that the New London County Improvement league was the livellest kin@ of live institution. The long anticipated and once postponed automobile trip of the league swept over the roads with horns honking, flags” and banners flying, and signs borne to show what was underway, while from numerous dooryards, from sidewalks in Norwich ,and store and factory windows in Willimantic smil- ing greeting with flags and handker- chiefs were waved to the cavalcads of¢ 2 autorobiles that swept up to t! college grounds at Storrs shortly aft- er the hour of noon. The start in this city from the Im- provement League rooms in Shetucket street was a busy scone from 10 o'clock gp while the line of automobiles were assembling. By their ceaseless activit in getting the machines into line and assigning to each the pas- sengers that it _was to carry, County Agent Murray D. Lincoln and Secr tary Elmer C. Jewett ~were multi- plied into a dozen men in effective- ness and the line got under way at a few minutes before 11 o'clock. The au- tomobile owners kindly contributed their cars for the trip and when G. H. Young of the Peoples Store in Taft- ville found that there were a few more people than could be accommodated by the autos available he kindly sent two cars to the relief of the situa- anon, and forty cars started from the city. Others joined in along the way and made the’ trip independently. Decorated Cars. Mayor T. C. Murphy’s car was given first e in_the line, driven by his jam B. Murphy, and carrying among its passengers the mayor and County Agent Lincoln. It had flags for decorations and a big sign across ihe back that said this was the New London County Improvement League's trip to Storrs. Second in line was the flag decorat- ed car driven by Miss Alice Bishop, of Bozrah, secretary of the New Lon- don County Pomona grange No. 6. Other - decors®®d cars were W. E. Canfield’s -with the big - blue sign of the Norwich Business College across the back F. S. Armstrong’s ef Frank- lin, trimmed with apple boughs and flags J. H. Lathrop's of Nortp Frank- lin with- its- occupants almost hidden from sight among waving cornstalks, and the car of Secretary Jewett which brought -up the extreme rear and car- ried on its raidator a large and life- like toy cow that caught every ewe along the way. On the rear of the machine were three signs, one saying “Down With the Army Worn.” the other “Excuse Our D and the third the county league sign. Many of the other machines also var- ried flags ‘and small pennants. Leaving the city, the parade took a turn up Main street as far as the Preston bridge and then counter- marched alonz Main to Washington square and- up Washington street on the way to Willimantic. Trouble For Some. Four or five machines had tire trou- ble on the way up. one having a blow out on Washington street just over the city line. ine had its trouble at Willias crossing. anotther on the Franklin road and another on the Main street of Willimantic. Dinner at the Colege. President C. K. Beach and Profes- sor C. D. Jarvis with the professors at the college were on hand as a re- ception committee to greet the incom- ing cars, and after they had been parked arooad the srounds, dinner was in order from the lunch boxes thata were carried. Cool . water was aur- nished by the college and ice cream was available for those who wanted it. In a cool spot under the trees seats for about 200 were accupied after din- ner, le County Agent Lincoln took charge of a short programme in which several of the department heads of the college spoke of their work. Short Programme Conducted. County Agent Lincoln expressed his great appreciation~on behalf of the league for the way the business men had loaned their cars and for the sup- port that had been given the trip.and he introduced President Beach as the first speaker. Drift Back to Farming, President Beacch reminded his heareps that there seemed to be a drift back to agriculture as was indicated by the fact that the larger propro- tion of the students of the colieges came from the cities and he said that the farmers of Connecticut ought ta seek to raise all the agricultural pro- ducts -that they needed whereas the facts were that they raised only about one fourth and only one tenth of the cultivatable land was under\ cultiva- tion. President Beach was followed by Professor Jarvis who told the visi- tors what they were to expect in the trip arcund the college grounds that was to come. He complimented the Improvement League upon the highly creditable showing made in the auto trip to the college, and he spoke of the extension work in dairying and poul- try that was to be especially carried on under direction of the college. He earnestly invited those present to at- tend - the coming dairy conference at Putnam on Aug. 26th, when the dairy problems are to be.the subject of di: cundq*a.pd investigation. rize Winning Holstein: Professor G. C. White of the daliry department aroused the interest of his hearers. 4 ment of agronomy gave suggestion as to corn, s ing of seed selection, which the college is working on and of economical rotation of crops for the best advantage of the dairy farm- er experiments with -soy beans and alfalfa and corn. Professor A. G. Gulley spoke for the department of horticulture. Improvement League’ President. President C. D. Whitman-of the Im- 'provement league commended what he saw in the wonderful improvements that had been made at the college since he had been there a few years ago. He “told his hearers that the Improvement league was here for work, with a membership of from 300 to 400 with room for many more, Joseph "T. Cruttenden chairman of the Eastern Connecticut Development committee expressed approval of the wise expenditure that the .state had made at Storrs college and said that the thing neéded now for the busi- ness men to work for was a trolley line to the college from Wikimantic. Auto Trip of Inspection. Upon the conclusion of the pro- gramme, the ~autos werz boarded again for a tour of inspection of the college buildings, led by Professor Jarvis in his car. Some preferred to walk, but the extensive layout of the grounds, made the machines very ac- ceptable, The cow barn with its sleek end contewted looking animals in scrupu- lously clean quarters, and the dairy department building with its model ap- pointments were first visited. Then followed the poultry. department build- ing #rd th® 100 poultsy sheds where the 1,000 hens in the egg laying con- test were #een. The horse barn, fields of alfalfa, and the 15_acre gexperiment station plot were all alike points of attrac- tion which were. carefully explained by the staff at the college. Ice cream of the finest quality was disposed of at the dairy building and 30 gallons were consumed during the Gay. By four o'clock the visitors were teady to return to their homes and the long line of machines departed af- ter the profitable day.

Kilroy, Jr., was electrocuted Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock at the city barn. He and William Racine, sheet metal workers, employed by John O. Johnson, were working on the roof of the barn. laying slate. Kil- roy was working near the chimney on the north side of the barn, facing Chestnut street, while Racine was on the same side on the south end. In some manner unknown Kilroy either slipped or lost his balance and as the chimney is almost riZht on the edge of the barn he went off and landed on the electric light wires. The wires that he fell upon had a voltage of 2,300, and as soon as he struck them he was in- Stantly killed. He hung euspended tor 2 few minutes in the air and then feil fo the ground, landing half on the side- walk and gutter. People Who happened to be near the scene said that they heard a loud siz- zling noise, snd on looking up towards the place where the sound came, smoke and fire could be seen, and that the young man, with outstretched arms, Stiff as a poker, hung suspended with his chin and neek resting on the wires. It was found later that he was badly burned around the abdomen and that his neck was burned through to his windpipe. Kilroy did not make an outcry, for his fellow workman did not hear the least noise until he heard the sizzling sound, and looking arou: he found his companion on the wires with clouds of smoke and fire around him. Racine, who was protected by rubber sole shoes, was able to reach Kilroy with his feet and push him from the wireas. The electrocution was witnessed by quité ‘a number of people and when the sbody fell to the ground 'several people felt of the young man's pulse, but not the least sign of life was in evidence. The body ‘was carried into 3. B. Ring’s garage and Drs. Callahan, Cassidy and Kimball were called, and all three responded very quickly. i INSTAN+LY KILLED UNDER firemen were eye witnesses and rushed to the scene, ‘and one of them went for a ladder, but it was too-late, for the body had fallen. The deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs, Henry J. Kilroy of West Town'| street and would have been 18 years old on the 22d of September. He was a graduate from grammar school and had attended the -Academy, and has been in the.employ .of Mr. Johansun only a ehort while. Besldes his pa.- ents, the boy leaves two brothers, John and George, and two sisters, Alice and Helen. WHEELS OF FREIGHT TRAIN. Louis Porter, 17; Was Trying to Jump Abocard Near Central Vermont Sta- tion, Louis Porter, between 17 and 18 &ears old, and the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Porter,. of No.” 65 Mye:s avenue, was instantly killed about 6.50 o'clock Wednesday night while trying to jump a freight train at the Central Vermont station. The train was a special freight and was going through here to New London at the rate of 25 miles an hour. Sy Porter.got 4 partial grip on the grab irons of_a car about the middle of the train, but his hold was torn loose and he weént under the wheels, so that se eral cars passed over him. Both arms and both legs were cut off and the body was horribly mangled, its frag- ments .being strewn along the tra’k for 25 feet or moré. ~The face showad only a few bruises and cuts. 2 The freight crew were unconscious of the accident and tht train palsed on without stopping. » Max Hertz of No.:'30 No Thames sfreet and Frank Smith of No. 20 Cove street were two boys who told *Dr. Rush W. Kimball that they saw 'the accident, whith took place between the freight shed and the passenger station platform. A few minutes before the train came along Porter had been talk- jng to Smith and had wanted him fo jump the freight with him and go.10 New London, but Smith refused. It is said that Porter had made a practice| of riding freights to New London in the early part of the evening and re- turning on a northbound train about midnight. Porter left Smith and made for.the train, with the fatal result that fol- lowed. Smith hurried away to tell Policeman Charles M¢Fadden of the accident and found him in West Main street. With Constable Myer Blumen- the officer held the curious crowd while Medical Examiner Kimball was summoned, 2 A pitiable incident in. connection with the shocking occurrence was that Porter’s mother was passing along West Main street at the time and, hearing the name of “Porter, Porter,” passed through the crowd, pressed in to see what it might' be When she found it was her son her grief was heart-rending. When the medical examiner had learned the facts in the case, he gave Undertakers Church & Allen permis- sion to remove the body to their morgue. The young man is_survived by His parents, by three brothers, Joseph, Arthur and George, and by ‘two sisters. In City Court. In the city court on ‘Wednesday morning, with, Judge-T. J.
