Doyle & Son of Noank and was carrying a loan of boxed goods to the Rossle Velvet Co. at Willimantic. John R. Hartley was driving the truck and'reported that he was go- ing up the hill in second speed, having reached & point about half way up, the geers suddenly slipped into neutral and the truck started to run backwards down the hill. He jammed on the emergency brake but it dld not hold and He was twisting from slde to side in the-street as he approached the bottom of the il He stuck to the steering wheel with the intention of ditching the truck, but before he had time to carry this out the truck swerved to one sjde and struck the tour- ing car belonging to Fred D. Ballou of Jewett City, which Mr. Ballou's son had left parked while he was at the theatre. The heavy truck drove the tourlng car back for twice its own length before it came to a stop. The touring car was hit a little to the left of the center, bending the left end of the fender back at right angles, driving the radlator back, bending the left headlight and mudguard -and twisting one side of the hood cover. The frame of the truck climbed up on the tire of the left forward wheel and rode this back till the cars came to a stop, the tire leaving a long scar in the hard surface of the street. An automobile mechanic who investigat- ed the wreck before the truck was jacked” up to release the touring car, reported that the axle on the truck had broken and was doubtless the cause of the truck becoming unmanageable and the emerg- ency brakes not responding. Atter the rear end of the truck had been jacked up, the touring car was able to back away under its own power, but the truck was crippled so that ‘it could not move. The owneds sent another truck here early in the evening to take the load from the crippled truck to Williman NEW ENGLAND CONFERENCE OF TUBERCULOSIS ORGANIZATIONS Many of the officlals and members ot the tuberculosis and general health or- ganizations of Connecticut will attend the annual New England Tuberculosis Conterence which will take place in Au- gusta, Me., Sept. 28, 29, 30.
