MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT ON FAIRFIELD TURNPIKE One Woman Was Killed and Another Probably Fatally Injured. Bridgeport, Conn.. Nov. 15.—One wo- man was killed and another probably fatally injured when a motorcycle rac- ing with another skidded and overturn- ed throwing all of its occupants out on the Fairfield turnpike late today. The dead woman is Miss Jennie Wisznien- ski of Bridgeport and the injured wo- man is Mrs. Stephen Rihoza, also of Bridgeport, and the wife of the driver of the motorcar. It is alleged that the Rihoza cycle, in the side car of which were the two women. was racing a car driven by Frank L. Lohwez, brother of Mrs. Ri- hoza. tried to pass his brother-in-law when the latter slowed up to dodge a trolley car. The following car left the highway, struck a soft spot and turn- ed over ‘completely in the air. throw- ing all out. Miss Wisznienski struck 1 telegraph pole and her head was crushed beyond recognition. The other woman sustaiged terrible bruises and is now in St.'Vincent's hospital _in -ridgeport, where it is feared she has » fractured skull. She has a bare chance to live. Rihoza was taken to the Bridgeport lockup after the accident and placed under $2,500 bonds on a charge of manslaughter. He was unable to se- cure bail and spent the night in the lockup. ITALIANS HAVE REINFORCED THEIR NORTH LINE They Evidently Are to Give Battle to the Enemy in Such + Strength as to Prevent an Invasion of the Lowlands— Numerous Attempts of the Teutonic Allies to Cross the Piave Have Met With Failure—From Russia Varying Reports, All Unconfirmed, Tell of Petrograd in Flames, the Killing of 2,000 Persons in the Streets of Moscow and the Formation of a Coalition Government in Moscow enemy to turn the flank of the de- fenders and force a withdrawal of their line still farther westward. Along the Piave from the region of Feltre to the Adriatic the invaders at numerous points have endeavored to make new crossings of the river, but everywhere they have been thwarted. Those of them who already are on the west bank of the river are’being hard held to their original position: the artillery and rifle fire of the Ital- ians Keeping them In check. Near Zenson the positions of the enemy gradually are being encroached upon, while near the mouth of the river at Grisolera the invaders in the swampy lowlands constantly are under a vig- orous shell and rifle fire. Affairs in Russia. Varied reports are still coming through concerning the situation in Russia, but out of the maze it has Meen impossible to disentangle one statement that may be _considered trustworthy. One report has Petre grad In flames and another has 2,000 persons killed in the streets of Mos- cow during the fighting between the Kerensky and Bolsheviki factions. Still_another is to the effect that a coalition government has been form- ed in Moscow with members of the Bolsheviki holding portfolios in it. Other unconfirmed reports are to the effect that anarchy reigns in Kiev and other Russian citles and that ex- cesses against the Jews are being committed. Comparative quiet still prevails along the western front in Framce and_Belgium. B Clemenceau to Form Ministry. Georges Clemenceau, one of France's strength as to prevent a precipitate [ most eminent public men and a for- invasion of the lowlands, where un- |mer premier, will form a new French doubtedly it is the ambition of the |ministry. WIth the Russian situation still ob- scure by reason of the fact that no direct advices are being received from Petrograd or Moscow, the Italian sit- uation remains of transcendent inter- est in the news of the worid war. Everywhere along the battle front from fake Garda eastward, and thence southward along the Piave river to the Adriatic sea, the Italians are holding the enemy in check, ex- cept in the hilly region in the vicinity of the Asiago piateau, where addi- tiona] gains have been made by the invaders. The new advances by the Teutonic allies, as observed on the war maps, do not indicate that points of ex- tremely great strategic value have been won, but rather that the Ital- ians on various sectors have given sround before superior numbers and at the same time have straightened out and lessened the length of their front. In the hills north of the Venetian plain General Diaz, the new comman- der-in-chief of the Italians, has with- drawn his advanced posts south of Monte Tomatico. On the Asiago pla- teau and thencs eastward to where the battle front meets the upper reaches of the Piave River, the Ger- man and Austro-Hungarian forces are adding strength to their attacks, doubtless hoping to drive through the highland country to the plains of Ve- metia before the expected arrival of British and French reinfcrcements becomes a fact. Notwithstanding the arduous re- treat from the Isonzo westward, the ftalians evidently have been able to- Teinforce their morth line sufficiently to give battle tc the ememy in such EXPRESS COMPANIES APPLY TO INCREASE THEIR RATES Adams, American, Southern /and Welis-Gargo Ask 10 Per Cent. Raise. ‘Washington, Nov. 1. — Express companies today applied to the Inter- state Commerce Commission for an increase of 10 per cent. in their rates. The Adams, American, Scuthern and Wells-Fargo companies, making the application in behalf of them- selves .and other express companies, set forth that they had sufferéd a net loss of $39,848 as the result of in- creases in operating expenses and taxes during the first six months of this year. The companles assert that they are carrying on greatly increased busi- ness ‘“under the most trying,condi- tions,” and_that their facilitfes are taxed far beyond their normal ca- pacity. It is increasingly _aifficult, thelr application says, to obtain nec- essary labor, and because of the in- creasing demand for express and bag- sage cars for movenient of troops and ‘military supplies, it has been impos- sible to_obtain adequate - equipment. Frequent and substantial advances in wages, particularly to employes re- ceiving lower rates of pay, are said to have been necessary to retain the employes and it has been necessary to hire large numbers of new men to fll the places of those drafted into the army or taken to other employ- ment by higher wages.

Edison. ‘Washington, Nov. 15.—Conversion of more than a million tons of American sailing vessels into steamships was proposed to the shipping obard today by Thomas A. Edison. The inventor's suggestion will be made the subject of a thorough investigation. Because of the peculiar construction of eailing ships, it would be necessary, Mr. Edison said. to equip them with twin screws. Thus equipped, their hulls would bear the strain_better and at the same time they would develop considerably more speed than if carry- ing but a single propeller..
