MOTOHMAN NOT AT FAULT.
Coroner Octan's Plhtilni lit the West-
port froild’y Adcldont.
A ilndlng which practically places
the responsibility for the death of the
two men. Nicholas Space and Benja-
min Comatocli who w re killed by be-
ing struck by a tr‘ole ey car a week
ago near the line beiween Norwalk
and Westport. upon the victims them-
itellv.es was made by 't‘oroncr (l. A_ flot-
eu. An alien was being made on the
part of certain persons to have the
mbtorman of the car Frederick W.
Andrews. held on the charge of man
slaughter Coroner batch in his llnding
IayI: "i ilad that the facts will not
warrant holding the. motorman, An-
iirewa on any charge of criminal care<
lessness" .
The return which Coroner Doten has
made consists of a recital of the facts
as his intestlgatlon showed them. HI
finds that the portion of the road
where the two men were driving. was
within a section marked at both ends
"closed ” ilte warning being made
mote prominent by red lanterns hung
over the signs. The roadway itself
was closed by'the signs. but the trolley
iiaclts were left open. so that the cars
could continue running. The closing
of the road was to permit of repairs
being made upon it rapidly.
The coroner finds that the men, who
were driving in a wogan when they
were struck and killed. could have
taken a lower road around the portion
of the highway under repair. He finds
that the car came upon them suddenly,
going at a rate of speed required by
the time schedule of the company.
about 12 miles an hour. outside of the
settlements. and he finds that the men
were dlrecily upon the track and
somewhat in shadow from a high
bank on one side of the road. He
tlnds also that both men had been
drinking in a saloon during the day
and that one of them had slept a por.
tion of the evening there. After recit-
ing the above facts, he makes his lind-
lng regarding the motorman.
The death of the men has stirred up
both towns of Norwalk and Westport
to a great pitch. There has begun
controversy as to exactly where the
accident happened. with reference to
the town line. and there has been all
kinds of evidence oifered to the coro-
ner regarding the accident and what
led up to it. Coroner Doten this morn-
ing declined to discuss that phase of
the case, but it is pretty generally un
derslood that counsel representing the
Connecticut Railway and Lighting
company attorneys representing the
two towns and also representing the
heirs of the men, have been proposing
a 'l kinds prevalence and injuries. tend-
ed to "let out" the trolley company and
towns from any responsibility for the
death of the two men and to help
along the relatives of the two in pos
sible damage stilts.

Curroilcy Committee—
liotii. the Administration
and Speaker Caution Are
Omsod to Stirrup Up
the Sublect of flittiiiciai
legislation
WASHINGTON, i). (3.. Dec. il.»Tlir-
nrst day of the regular session of con-
;resa was occupied mainly by the
.eadlng of President Roosevelt' a mes-
sage, it was listened to attentively
and most of the republicans approved
of it. The Connetzstitut members all
.tated that the message was a very
able one. anti finely written. The way
the President has set forth the trouble
in Panama appealed especially to the
members. and the subject is now bet-
or understood than before. Congress
will undoubtedly stand by the Presi-
dent in this matter. as lilt' feeling is
we must have a canal.
While there was but little actual bus-
iicaa in the house, the members visit
ad around and talked over the commit-
tee assignments. The New England
members were quite outspoken in the
criticism of the polity of the speakel.
which practicullv ignored them. Many
nembers expressed their 1 -grets at the
turning down of Congressman Hill on
the banking and currency committee.
Mr. Hill himself feels it keenly. at:
'0 the speaker about it. In fact. pet"
zonally. he and the speaker are as
friendly as over. and on Sunday took a
orig walk together. it is safe to say
the subject of the house committee was
lot discussed. Mr. Fowler the chall-
nan of the banking and currency com
nittee, is very much disappointed that
Mr. Hill is not to be his right bowel.
l‘or eight years they hate worked to
gether and the best of feeling has al-
ways existed between them.
ll is said in the house that no finall-
ilal legislation is wanted and it is ill
timaied that not only the speaker but
he. administration as well were op-
posed to stirring the subject up this
icsalou. Mr. Hill has been very active.
and has already introduced a tlnanclai
it“. To avoid taking up the subject
he speaker decided to leave Mr. Hill
iff the committee When Mr. Hill was
irlglnaily appointed on the ways and
means committee by Speaker Hender-
i01l._ be was willing to resign from the
:onimitlec on banking and currency.
1nd so stated to the speaker. Mr. Hen-
ierson. bowaver. detained him. and this
your Mr. Hill naturally expected to be
on the committee again. The mem
her from New England who was ap
pointed to take Mr. Hill‘s place. has
entirely different views on the finan-
cial question from Mr. Hill. and is it
close friend of the speaker.
Mr. Spertv is failure to land the chair
'nanshlp of the committee on education
was also regrctted by his colleagues. it
is stated that his name was at the
‘iead of the committee tintli within a
week or so of the announcement. but
‘hat the New York members wont to
the. speaker in a body and insisted upon
but lug the chairmanship for Mr. South-
.vlck. of their own.staie. Mr. Sperry
feels somewhat vindicated by the fact
“at ho was retained on the postcdlce.
which will be oneof the mast import-
vnt committees in the house this year.
Only four republican members that
were on last session were retained on
hlI committee by Speaker Cannon.
ind several men who have been on for
years were dropped.
ONE COURT ONLY lN SESSION.
Mr. Vincent lit to Hia Case Want Over
For I Wait.
The best laid plans of the courts go
astray. quite as frequently as those of
summon folks. There were to have
been three courts in session yesterday
at the county court house. but only one
;ot to work—tho criminal superior.
The Vincent case against the rail-
road. of Bridgeport was to have gone.
on in the civil superior. but Mr. Vin-
out was iii no it went over until next
week Tuesday.
The criminal common pleas was
to have 'hold a melon up in the civil
side room. but Judge Light was
called away suddenly to open up the
civil side in Da‘nbury.’and Io the
criminal business had to give way.
The civil superior will got to work
today. if nothing happens. Two cas.
es against the city .of Bridgeport are
scheduled for trial—those. of Frances
H. Cruttendsn and Charles Hough.
Those actions grew out of the Btrat~
ford avenue widening at the Yellow
Mill bridge approach. it. is claimed by
the plaintifls that the city did not al-
low them anywhere nearly enough
damages. .
