TRESPASS ON RAILROAD FATAL TO 422 PERSONS In Last Three Years—3%4 Injured— Shert Cut Habit Largely Respon- sible. The New Haven railroad is not af- fillated by the genus hobo to-the ex- tent that some- railroads are. Yet in the last three years 422 persons have been killed and 394 injured while tres- assing on that ratlroad’s property. any of those injured wera maimed for life. . In the majority of caces these per- sons weré not tramps at all, - They Were persons using the railroad right of ay as a convenient highway, gen- erally to make a short cut, or boys or young men stealing rides on freight trains to get to places quickly. If you walk along a railroad in Bngland, believing you. can therebs see the country better or get home more quickly, you .are arrested and taken before a lacal magistrate, who fines you $10. In Canada you can be fined ‘up to $50 and imprisoned for two months and there, too, the law is strictly enforced. In Framce, unléss you have a permit, you cannot walk the tracks without great danger of being fined and even jailed. In Ger- many the penalties range up to $25, Only 13 states in this country have thus far followed the example of these European countries in having laws forbidding such use of railroad property. These states are Maine, New ampshire, Massachuselts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Wis- gonsin, Virginia, Delaware, Georgia, Missouri, Minnesota and Waeshington. The penalties prescribed range all the way from a $5 fine and 10 days in jail in Maine to $500 fine and a vear in jail in New York. In Connecticut and Vermont, the two New England etates which af present i tent to Kill Her ] was found guilty of simple: assault. by a jury in the criminal superior court there Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Phillips was charged with assavlt with intent to murder her husband, William Phillips,'last March, when she slashed face. Mrs. Phillips was placed on' trial late Wednesday afternoon. She was on the stand testifying in her own behalf when count adjourned Wednes- day afterndon at 5 o'clock, the state having completed its case and the de- ténse starting its testimony. ‘When court came in Thursday at 10 o'clock, Mrs. Phillips resumed her tee- timony. ~Her defense of her action ‘was that she acted in self defense in slash- ing her husband with a razor, being in fear af her life, 5 Sentence Deferred. The jury went out at 12.36 in_the afternoon and after deliberating ‘for' less than an hour returned with the verdict of gullty of simple assault at 122. Judge Shumway deferred sen- tence until later. Court then adjourned until 11 o'clock Friday morning after taking a’recéss on account of the funeral of ex-Mayor George F. Tinker. Testimony of Accused. Mrs, Phillips admitted that her hus- band was pretty drunk and that she didn't. think that be-knew what he. was doing. He was not so drunk when he camie in as when the slashing took place. - She said that her husband was accompanied by a Pole known as Big Nick when he came home. The wit- ness did not know where thé Pole is now. She did not know whether he was in the house ‘when the rumpus started but he was there when her husband tore her clothes oft her back. They had a'pint bottle of whiskey and 2ll three joined in drinking it up. She admitted that she was “considerably under the influence of liquor when the cutting took place.” s The witness said that she was dress- Ing to “get out” and her husband be- came angry, and cailed her several vile names.” Questioned as to what the names were, by State Attorney Hull, who was examining the witness, Mrs. Phillips asked if she was to men- tion the names. “You are accustomed to saying such words, are you ot inquired the state attorney. The ques tion brought a vigorous objection from Attorney Morgan, counsel for the wit- ness, who was not required to answer the question. “That's when you went into the other room and came out with a razer and slashed your husband, wasm't it* the witness was asked plied with an emphatic X Husband’s * Testimony. Willfam Phillips, husband of the ac- qused, was next called by the defense. He sdid that_he knew. the Pole by the name of Big Nick and that they were fogether all the afternoon. The witness did not remember, however, whether Big Nick went home with him, SPEEDER WAS CHASED TO NEW LONDON. Raced With State Policeman from Montville—Fined $5. D. A. McKay of Providence was ar- rested in New London Wednesday af- ternoon after a chase from Montville by the state police. State Policemen Jackson and Flynn and Attorney John J. Lawless were in Montville Wednesday in connection with the arrest and arraignment of three men. They had just completed the hearing and were ‘standing near the road at Montville when an auto- mobile approached at a fast rate of speed, exceeding the laws. One of the state policémen raised a warning hard to the driver, cautioning him to slow down. ; Instead of heeding the warning, the automobile flashed by the group, at the same time the chauffeur shouting some sort of a derisive answer. With the state policemen was F. A. Pattison, & Norwich automobile owner, whose ser- Vices had been engaged by them. The state policemen and Attorney Lawless jumped into the waiting machine and with Mr. Pattison at the wheel put chase. Along the highway went the ma- chines, the speedometers at times reg- istering over 50 miles an hour. The fleaing automobilc kept its distance and the state policemen were unable to overtaie it. The chase continued until the cor- ner of Williams and Main street was Teached, when the machine that was setting 'the pace was obstructed and have no such laws, legislation of this character is now pending. Connecticut has had a law prohibiting loitering about a railroad station or grounds, but the legislation now pending would amplify this by fixing a penalty of from $10 to $100 or imprisonment for not more than 30 days for railroad trespassing of any kind. In all the other states whose legislature are in session this year similar legislation has been introduced, with the object of saving thousands of lives that are needlessly thrown away year after year. ——r— Earich the Blood Hood’s Sarsaparilla, a Spring Tonic- Medicine, is Necessary Everybody is troubled at this sea- son with loss of vitality, failure of appetite, that tired feeling, or with bilious turns, dull headaches, indiges- tion and other stomach troubles, or with pimples and other eruptions on the face and body.

M’ALL ASSOCIATION SUFFERS THROUGH WAR!. Reports Made at State Meeting on Conditions in France. Hartford, Copn., May 5.—The effect of the war on France was prominent in the reports at the 32d annual meet- ing of the McAll essociation in this city today, with about 100 delegates present. The first vice president, Mrs. James C. Colgate, of New York, pre- sided. The report of the general secretary was given by the corresponding sec- retary, Mrs. H. L. Wayland, of Phila- delphia. - It was devoted to the con- ditions in France and the changes that | had been brought about in that coun- try since the previous meeting. The mission suffered not only from loss of men but for lack of resources. The toll of death among the workers was mex- tioned, a nWmber dying in battle. The report of the treasurer, Mrs. Abraham R. Perkins, of Germantown, Pa., showed the total receipts for the year of $92,510.50, including a war re- lief fund of $23,997. HARTFORD DAY Will Have Class of 50 at, Masonic Temple Next Monday, The final rehearsal for the’ work of Hartford day, which will be next DMonday at the Masonic_temple, was held at the temple on Monday eve- ning.

Judge Gardiner Greene rendered a decision for the defendant Thursdey in the euit of Mrs. te, L. Paul- sen of ity inst _Albert G. Greene of Griswold, whom she sued for $3,000 damages for injuries she sustained on Aug. 5, 1914, when she was in collision with Mr. Greene's au- tomobile at the corner of West Main street and Falls avenue. i The case was tried before Judge Greene last week, with Attorneys ‘Thomas J. Kelly and Allyn L. Brown appearing for the’plaintif end Telley B. Babcock for the defendant. In his memorandum of decision, Judge Greene says that the plaintiff claims that the accident was due to the negligence of the defendant, espe- cially in failing to blow his horn, and in driving at an unreasonable speed under the circumstances. The _evidence is very conflicting. 20 “warming. eiven wntl too las to be no warn iven uni ate to of use, and that, when plaintiffs daughter saw the auto, it was upon them, and the daughter had just time to jump back out of its reach, while the’ plalntiff wae able only o face it and was at once knocked down. ~This_position is supported by the plaintift and her daughter and three apparently disinterested witnesses, Barber, Beckwith and Savage. Bar- ber was 100 feet or more to the southe east, Savage nearre, and a little to west of south, and Beckwith opposite and behind the auto as it entered Falls avenue. The defendant claims that he blew his horn when approaching the corner and again when turning; that plaintiff started to cross over Falls avenue on the crosswalk a little ahead of her daughter; that he had a clear way when he ‘starteq on to the walk with the plaintiff a little to the west of his line of advance; that he bore to the right to avoid her; that when she passed his line, her daughter screamed and she turned and went faster than the auto, northeast off the crosswall and on to the Falls avenue macadam that he turned left to avoid her; that she then turned again, ran to the car, grabbed it, seemed to press against it, and was pushed down backward by it. He claims that he had cleared her on her first tack and would have cleared her on her second tack if she had nmot suddenly and without warning turned and jumped right against the front of the car. Defendant claims that he was going very slowly and that pru- dence did not call for an absolute stop till the last turn of the plaintiff and that then there was no time to stop. Defendant is sustained in hie claim by eight apparently disinterested witness- es, all of whom, I believe, testified to seeing plaintiff ' come back into the path of the automobile after she had passed to the west, and several of Wwhom testify to seeing her make the second turn into the front of the euto- mobile. The defendant's claim is_supported by the fact that the plaintiff lay after the accident at a spot in Falls ave- nue considerably north of the cross- walk. Beckwith says that the auto carried her some distance, but this is evidently a guess, for he was behind the auto, and she in front of it, and he testifies that the auto obscured the plaintiff from him; that she was out of his sight for two or three seconds; and that he could not see whether the plaintift_started to go one way or the other. The witnesses agree that the plaintiff lay beyond the crosswalk. Dolores Paulsen ®says that she was several steps beyond it. Barber thinks that, when the auto struck her, she fell ‘on the macadam. Henrietta Lu- ther says she was beyond the cross- walk when she was hit. The evidence indicates that she went there by her own agency, which is in- consistent with her claim as to the facts. The preponderancs of evidence Seems to me to indicate that the prox- imate cause of the accident was the plaintiff's negligence, and that the de- fendant used reasonable care. That the plaintift should be alarmed for her daughter and turn back, when she heard her daughter scream, is a natural and probable thing, and is confirmed by her jaquiry of her daugh- ter after the accident whether she was not hurt. It is probable that under the influence of the excitement caused by the sight of the auto near her and alarm for her daughters safety, the plaintiff quite lost her presence of mind. This would acceunt for her conduct as testified to by defendant’s Wwitnesses. The whole affair was a matter of seconds, and the defendant can be held only to that degree of care which a man of ordinary prudence would use. Decision as to his course of action had to be instantaneous, and, until the plaintiffs last turn upen the car, which he had no reason to expect, he was acting in a wey calculated to avoid injury to her. MRS. SULLY’S SHOP FAILS. Charged to Cook, Who Carried Off Recipe for Its Prize Cake, Because the cook had left and taken the prize recipe, the Lady Baltimore Cake Shop, Inc., at 300 Madison ave- nue, New ‘York, of which Mrs. Emma F. Sully of Waich Hill, R. I, is presi- dent, went into bankruptcy Wednes- day. No one in the place could re- member what to put into Lady Balti- more cake. Mrs. Sully is the wife of Daniel J. Sully, one time _“Cotton King,” who failéd in 1904 with liabili- ties of |$6,000,000, says the New York Times. Maurice P. Davidson, the assignee, explained Wednesday night that when some of the help had been discharged several months ago they had spoiled the cake and the shop’s reputation by “sabotage.” Then the head cook left, taking with him the baking régipes, and the company could no longe® fill its orders. The shop had a largs pat- ronage, it is asserted, and Mr. David- son is’ anxious to find someone who knows how to bake Lady Beltimore cake. There Wwill probably be a reor- ganization. The Lady Baltimore Cake Shop was incorporated June 10, 1914, with. a capital stock of $50,000. Besides Mrs. Suliy, the officers were John L. Lor- dau, ' secretary, and G. C. Ruggle: treasurer. The liabilities are $10,006, with assets of about $3,000. The failure of Mrs. Sully's cake shop recalls the venture of Mr. Sully in 1012 into. the business of turning into an inn his ' beautiful home at Watch Hill: Many Norwich people have visited this fine inn, Kenneth Ridge, and will regret-to héar of Mrs. Sully’s failure. The former Cotton King always felt an interest in' Norwich, having pur- ¢chased his first bale_of ‘cotton from the late Gen. William G. Ely of this city.

It is due to wéak kidneys allowing & set- tlement of uric acid in the tissues of the body near the tender mnerves. There is no swelling or fever, but agonizing patn. Liniments may dead- en the pain, but the disease must be cured through the kidneys. Rheuma, the splendid remedy for all forms of rheumatism, quickly dissolves the uric acld crystals and passes them off through the kidneys and bowels, and the immediate relief is so pro- nounced that you won't guess you are being rid of rheumatism—you will know it. “I suffered with rheumatic-neural. gia for six years.
