Wore Printed in Good Faith
Though ngo Was large
William Ii. ileril Will Continue
To Hold illhiro do Selectman
Judge Ralph Wheeler handed down
his.declsion in the Norwalk contested
election case. which was heard before
him .three weeks ago. he finds for
the defendant and his title as select-
man. "
. This was an action brought by
Frank H. Merrill, one of the Demo-
cratic candidates for selectmeri.
against William P. Read. the other.
who was decided as the minority se-
lectman by the moderator at the elec-
tion last October.
Merrill claimed that seine votes
which ought to have been counted for
him were missed and he asked for
a recount. He also raised the question
of the legality of a large number of
the Republican ballots. which ques
tion attacked the titles of the majority
of the board.
Judge Wheeler allowed the recount
and it failed to show the mistakes al-
leged. Only a change of a vote or two
was made. A legal issue was raised
in regard to the Republican ballots.
Merrill claimed that the Republican
ballots were not printed In uniform
type as the law provides. More than
enough of these alleged illegal ballots
were found to change the result of
the election if thrown out. Judge
Wheeler has had them under consid-
eration for some time.
Judge Wheeler, after reciting at
length the facts and evidence in tile
case. concludes his decision in the fol-
lowing language: “The ballots were
all printed in book face and with the
apparent intent to comply with the re-
quirements of the statute and not with
a view of furnishing any distinguish-
ing remarks. and it is"fouud and held
that no ballot contained any mark or
device so that the same could be iden-
tified in such a mannetras to indicate
who mi htdlnvé'case‘the amc. As a
'cbuclun oh‘fof law from" [c facts ad-
!fiitted and found the issues are found
in favor of the defendant. Whereup-
on, it is adjudged. ordered and de-
creed that the petition be dismissed.
It is further ordered that this finding
and decree be entered on the records
of the Superior Court for Fairfleld
County."
All
had used the
type. but the face of the type
in some cases showed larger. al-
though of the same body. The court
holds that these ballots wereprlnted
in good faith and that the difference in
type is accmental and not for the pur-
pose of distinguishing ballots. There
were evident intentions to comply
with the law and the difference in ap-
pearance is found to be due to.the dif-
ference in the fact of the type.

EDWARD wines DEAD.
Wu Injured in Jumping From Bridge
in Danbury and Broughtto Nor-walk.
Edward Wines. who was taken to
the Norwalk Hospital several days ago
suffering from injuries which be...had
received in jumping from a bridge in
Danbury. to avoid being struck by an
approaching train. died suddenly last
night from internal injuries.
it was thought that Mr. Wines
would recover. but yesterday after-
noon his case became serious and he
grew steadily worse until last night.
when he passed away. His niece ar-
rived from New Haven just before he
expired. Mrs. Wines is an invalid and
was tunable to come to Norwalk. The
remains will be taken to New Haven
today. During all the time Mr. Wines
was at the institution he was very
cheerful and took his accident very
philosophically, though the injuries
were painful. Beside the internal iu-
juries there were two fractures of one
of his legs below the knee.
After the accident‘in Danbury he
was placed aboard the train and
brought to Norwslk and from the rail-
road station here was taken to the
hospital.’ His chief concern was for
his wife. whom he thought would be
greatly shocked should she hear of his
misfortune. Mr. Wines was somewhat
over sixty years of age. though he did
not look to be more than forty-five.

The second recital in the series at
81c South Norwalk Congregational
hurch. last night. taxed the auditor-
ium of the edifice to its capacity. and
the folding doors that separate the
Sunday-school room were thrown open.
This room was well—filled also. It was
a very representatIVe assemblage. Lov-
ers of good music were there. and from
the applause that followed each selec-
tion by Mrs. Paul Moore Strayer and
Franz Kaltenborn. the violin soloist. of
New York, the entertainment was fully
appreciated.
when Rev. Mr. Strayer ascended the
pillpit platform and annoumcd the first
number on the program. It was a solo
by Mr. Kaltenborn. entitled "Ro-
mancc.‘ by Svendsen. Mrs. Strayer
followed with “Jinny.” a tale of the
South. by Thomas Nelson Page. She
was at her best. and easily vanquished
tho technical difficulties which arise In
readings of this nature. This was fol-
lowed with “The First Quarrel." by
Lord Alfred Tennyson. The following
program was then carried out. and
completely enraptured the large audi-
ence: Violin solo. “Hungarian Rhap-
sodie." by Hauser. Mr. Kaitenborn:
reading. “Aunt Kitty Tarbox." a tale of
New England. by Kate\ Douglas Wig»
gin. Mrs. Strayer: violin solo. “Reve—
rie." by Vieuxtempts. Mr. Kaltenborn:
reading. ”A Doctor of the Old School.
by lan Maclareu. Mrs. Strayer; violin
solo. “Czardas.” by Hubay. Mr. Kalten~
born. The selections for violin were
executed by Mr. Kaitenborn In a man-
ner above criticism. He is one of the
most finished artists ever heard in The
Norwalks. and has a complete mastery
over this difficult instrument. and gave
every number exquisite interpretation.
Edward B. Manvillc as the piano ac-
rompsnlst. added much to the even-
ing‘s entertainment. his work also be-
ing most artistic.
Mrs. Strayer captivated her listeners
in the reading. “A Set of Turquoise."
representing the following characters:
Count of Lara. a poor nobleman; Bea“
tricc. his wife; Miriam. the maid. and
a page. who is Miriam in disguise. The
recital closed with two recitations by
Mrs. Strayer. entitled. "When Malindy
Sings." and "A Lullaby." by Paul Lau-
rence Dunbar. She was presented with
two handsome bouquets.
The next recital will be Tuesday
evening. February 25. Dr. Robert

A little it ht between neighbors oc-
cupied the a tentlon of Judge Howard
.I. Curtis in the civiiflcourt of common
pleas yesterday. when the case of Wil-
liam F. Whitlock and wife against Dr.
Frederick L. Uhle was resumed. The
parties all reside in Norwalk, and the
prime cause of the trouble is a very
high board fence which Dr. Uhle
has built between his own and nelgh~
bor'gland. The. Whitlocks say that
the fence shuts off their view of the
street. deprives them of‘light to which
they are entitled. and shuts out the
breeze. Dr. Uhlc claims that the
fence is a necessity in order to pre-
serve him from the many annoyances
to which his neighbors subicct him.
Those annoyances are in the form of
horses. chickens. dogs. children.
sneers. laughter and fire-crackers. A
handsome hedge of arbor vitae was
inaliciously poisoned by the neighbors.
It) Mrs. Uhlc alleges. while she stated
on the witness stand yesterday morn-
ing that her eyes had been nearly
blown out by powder as a result of a
‘w‘iiol fired by Mr, Whitlork and his son
who. she asserted. had "ainiised’
themselves by shooting into her room.
To rebut the testimony of Mrs.
Uhlc. Chief of Police Thomas Bradley.
of Norwalk. was called to testify. He
said that on a certain day not so very
'ong ago. Dr. Ulric had called upon
‘him to complain that the neighbors
had broken a hedge which was grow-
lug beside the boundary line dividing
‘lu- llhle and Whitlock premises. Dr.
llhle. who appears to be very meek.
and to possess none of the aggresslvc
.pirlt of his wife. asked the chief It
he would please go over to the Uhlc
residence and quiet Mrs. llhie. “She
imagines things.” explained Dr. Uhlc.
7““ Who‘ll Ch‘i’el’ Bradley testified to that
Mrs. llble looked quickly at her hus-
band, who was sitting back of her.
\lrs. Uhle sat next to Attorney John
C. Chamberlain. so that she could
prompt him in the cross-examinations.
“Did you say that?" asked Mrs. llhle.
In a sharp whisper. distinctly audible
in the ouict court room. Her husband
shook his head. but it was an unccr-
tuin dcniul and Mrs. Uhlc evidently
placed littlc stock In it. for she rc.
marked with an emphasis which car-
ried her voice to all portions of tho
room: "I'm ashamed of you. I'm
ashamed of you."
Mrs. llhlc on the witness stand testi-
flod that chickens belonging to the
Whitlocks had a bad habit of running
into her yard and scratching up her
garden. She said that Mr. Whitlock
had a bad habit of bringing boys into
his barn to make a noise. and leer at
her. and that Mrs. Whitloek persisted
In walking along by her nice hedge
and handling the tender shoots. She

"ANOTHER THAI COLLISION.
South Boundfflsrlom River Freight
Collide: with“ Tho. Switch Engine at
Winnings Place.
A slight freight wreck occured this
morning shortly before 5 o'clock on
the Danbury division of the Consort-
dated Railroad. a short distance above
Jennings Place. The South Nor-walk
switcher was rungtnto by an extra
Harlem river freight coming down the
road and though the switcher was bad-
ly damaged,‘ none of the crew were in-
jured seriously; In the impact the
rear trucks or the caboose were driv-
en forward out of place. That the
crew of the switch engine were not
seriously hurt .is considered miracu-
lous, as the tender was jammed about
as near to one :boiler as it was poss-
ible to push it. ‘
After things were patched up the
Harlem river freight proceeded to its
destination andrthe switcher was ta-
ken to South NorWalk. The tender
on the latter engine was punctured in
the crash. allowing the water to run
to waste along the track.

HARTFORD. January iO—TIIC Grand
Masonic Lodge, of this state. held its
annual conclave at the Masonic Tem-
ple. here. today. There was a large at—
tendance of Masons from all parts of
Connecticut. Grand Master Frederick
8. Stevens, of Bridgeport. delivered his
annual address. it being theildth an.
nual communication of the lodge.
In his address. he again called at-
tention to the increased tendency to
connect the term “Masonic" with busi-
ness enterprises which are conducted
by Masons. which he says is in direct
violation of the spirit of the general
regulations of the Grand Lodge. which
prohibits Masonic advertising. He al~
so called attention to organizations.
who. while independent of the craft.
are practically conducting their busi-
ness under the auspices of Masonry.
In view of the recent failure of one of
these organizations. he calls on the
Grand Lodge to take action on the mat-
ter. He also alluded to the practice pre-
valent of giving candidates by giving
them a false impression of the core-
monies through which they will be re-
quired to pass and says there is no
thing in the ceremonies of Masonry of
a triflingr nature. and that if a candi-
date is to be informed at. all. to let
it be with that end in view.
In his report Grand Secretary Bar-
tow. of the Grand lkidgo of Masons
said: The returns of the 110 lodges in
this jurisdiction show a most gratify-
ing increase of number: The number

NEW ORLEANS. La.. January Iii—«It
is believed in shipping circles here that
a British transport. laden with Amor-
icnn mules, bound for South Africa. has
been intercepted. and blown up by a
floor aw. in the Gulf of Mexico. and
has laundered. A schooner arriving
on the lower coast reports hundreds of
dead mules floating for a distance of
thirty miles. The news has greatly
stirred shippers here. who fear that
further desperate attempts will be made
to stop the export of mules to Cape
Town.
The more conservative elements at-
tribute the hosting carcasses to a dis-
aster to one of the British vessels dur~
ing the storms that have been raging
near the count this week. Deapatchcs
from Quintana, Text. which is only a
short distance south of Port Ends, says
that the schooner Olga has put in to
Mstsgorda Bnyfor shelter from the
fierce gale blowing on the gulf, and that
Captain George Peterson reports hav-
ing seen long rows of dead cattle and
modes floating in the water. He du-
cribcs the range of the dead stock or
covering at least forty miles.

NEW YORK. January iii—Through
the wireless telegraph the Kaiser Wil—
helm der Grosse. of the North German
Lloyd. just arrived, from Bremen.
Southampton and Chcrbourg. was for
half the trip to the eastward. and a
large part of her westward voyage In
almost constant communication with
other vessels or the shore. The ship
eras practically a floating telegraph of-
fice. Captain Hogemann. of the Kai‘
ser Wilhelm dcr Grosse. told of the te|~
egraphic marvels.
"It was the most complete test of the
Marconi system that We have ever
hadfl said he. “Herr Kronkent. opera-
tor on the Kaiser Wilhelm. was for—
merly the Marconi expert on the Lu-
cania. and consequently familiar with
the latter's instruments. On December
10. off the banks of Newfoundland. the
Kaiser ran into a heavy fog. Later on
Monday night. the Kaiser ran into
clear weather again. Herr Kronkent
flashed to the Lucania this message:
‘We are twentydive miles east of the
banks and in clear weather! To which
the Lucnnia replied: ‘Wc are still in
the fog. sixty miles astern. Many
thanks.
“Communication between the two
vessels ceased on 'l‘uesday morning.
December 17. when we ware eighty-Me
miles apart. or practically half way
across the ocean, and after we had con-
versed nearly sixty—six hours."
When off the Lizard. the record of
Herr Kronkent shows that twelve mes-
sages from the Lucanla were dashed
and a reply stated that all of them had
been caught on shore. 0f the Marconi
successes on the westward trip Captain
Hogcmann said: "We passed the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm. bound east almost in
mid-ocean. when the two vessels were
forty-one mik’apar‘t. Greetings were
exchanged between the passengers and
positions given. Off Nantucket light-
ship. soon after midnight today. twelve
despatches were sent ashore and all
received. The Marconi system Is a
most valuable attachment to a ship in
"use of'accident or shipwreck. As an
example of its value in locating posi-
tions I refer to a recent trip of the Kai-
ser. during which I should have pick—
ed up the revolving light of the Nan.
tucket lightship. It failed to show up
and the lookout picked up instead two
fixed white lights. ‘Have you two fixed
white lights?’ I asked through the air.
The answer was flashed back. 'Yos. Our
other light is out of order.‘ "

MARION. Ind., January lfi—Fifteen
hundred quarts of nitro-glycerine. owu~
ed by the St. Mary’s Torpedo Company
and the Empire Glycerine Company,
in a ravine two miles and a half south-
east of this city, exploded this morn-
ing at 2:30 o'clock. shaking the entire,
northeastern part of the state. Bush «
noes blocks and dwelling houses shook .
and swayed as if rocked by an earth-
quake and the entire city was aroused.
A yawning hole in the bottonrof the
ravine was all that was left to tell the
story. It is thought that the explosion
was caused by a gas jet In one of the
ruagazlnes setting fire to the buildings.
So far as known no one was injured
in the explos on. The nearest house
was half a lie away and the occu- t
pants escaped serious injuries. Tele-
phone inquiries received here indicate
that houses were shaken fifteen miles
away.
