Charges Against inspector Not
Think ills Territory too Wide
for iiim to Cover, and. Rec-
ommend Larger Inspecting
\ Force
The State Shell Fish Commissioners,
at, theirymeeting in New Haven, de-
cided that the charges against Cap-
tain William A. Lewis, state inspec-
tor .01. natural beds. brought by tile
Oystermen's Protective Association.
were not sustained by the‘evldence
adored, end so Captain Lewis will re
main in office.
: , The Shell Fish Commissioners, how-
’ ever. decided that the present work of
t the State inspector was too great for
him to properly cover, and they advo
cats legislation whereby there will be
a number of inspectors instead of only
. Chairman George C, Waldo. of the
, ghelllFlsh' Commission. said yester-
ay: '
. “The oyster beds extendall the way
from the. New York line clear to New
*‘ London and that is far too great a ter-
* rltory for’ a single inspector to prop-
‘erly watch. When the beds off Bridge—
. port are being actively worked upon,
theinspector must remain there to
2' watch. and in consequence all the
other beds along the coast are unpro
footed. ~
"The commission is strongly in fav-
, or of any legislation which will rem-
, edy this condition. We expect that the
“ Oystermen’s Brotective asaociatlon and
the owners of private beds will each
beve‘ bills-to introduce at the legisla-
. ture upon the matter or they may get
together and introduce a joint bill.
we favor no particular method in the
1‘ matter. .butgwe will be glad to have an
increase in inspectors so that the en-
tire coast may be properly protected."
The commissioner. handed Mn the
following memorandum of decision in
the case ofCaptain Lewis:
“This is«'a petition for the removal
William A. Lewis, inspector of the
natural oyster 'beds'pf . the, state.
“Evidence was. . taken along three
.. lines, as alleged in the petitloiil‘w ch
were as follows: first. wilful angles of
duty in not keeping all persons hot
eligible from working on the natural
beds; second, nonvisiting the different
, section of his jurisdiction, and third,
connection with the Radel Oyster Co.
.» such as not to permit him, the said
inspector, to treat the workers on the
natural growth with fairness and im-
partiality. - ‘
‘ “The evidence in support of the first
allegation showed several technical
violations. but nothing to connect the
_ respondent with any of them such it
way as to indicate wilful neglect of
duty as charged.
‘ ”As to the second allegations, the
evidence of the petitioners was nega-
. tive in character—witnesses testify-
ing that they had not seen the' re-

iwestern parts of the state.
: “The statements In allegation three

were denied by the respondent,

i that conditions exist which should be
changed by legislation, and it is olir
. opinion that when so changed inspec-
tors should be given an amount of ter-
ritory that it will be possible for them

Selieck builded him a house and he
‘builded it well, with naked shingles
.and band hewed at. that. rThe beams
were of oak and bore the marks of
‘the ads; wooden pegs answered for
spikes in putting together the frame
,work, and the nails used were of
wrought iron made by hand. It was it
.good house, built to last. and it has
lasted.
1 A few years later, in 1837. Colonel
Raymond built a house in the some lo-
cality. which is now owned by the
Tokcneke Corporation. in 1761, the
‘Alurison Williamson residence was
built. ‘
Those were in the days when hous-
es were built with the emphasis on
the word built. No flimsy contrup
tion of joist and shingle nails, but
good. solid, honest houses.
These were model residences in
their day, but, they gradually grew old
and became obsolete. Yet they re-
mained strong and useful ever since
almost the dawn of history of Ame-
rica. .
The Col. Raymond house was the
oldest of the three as was discovered
recently by the digging up of a stone
in the cellar upon which the date
waa inscribed.
When this was built Norwalk was
yet to witness the raid of Admiral
Tryon in which on July 11. 1779. he. re.
duced eighty dwellings. tw0 churches,
ielght‘y seven barns. seventeen shops
and four mills to ashes. Those hous-
es at Tokeneke stood through that
and were not molested. .
Frequently from their
could be seen the raids of the Tories
and the lndians who many of them llyi‘
windows:
keshank River and Rooton Point.”
. Through the war of the Revolution.
when the nation was born and the
Declaration of Independence was sign.
ed. the old house stood. Through the
Civil War. and until today the old
places hear silent witness of the fact
that the carpenters who builded them
knew their business.
And having lasted a. century and
more there seems no reason why they
.should not last. another century. bill
.they are mightily changed from their
lorlglnnl shape. Recently the three
.were bought by the Tokeneke Corpor-
atlon, and are now turned into modal
.summer cottages.
I What would Colonel Raymond have
said if. in place of fumbling around
‘in the dark with it flint. and steel
ito light the fallow candle. he could
have pressed a button at the door
and the whole house be flooded with
light.
What would he have said, who nev-
er kncw of the uses of electricity. if
he could have summoned the maid
from the kitchen by pushing a‘button.
with which the house is completely
equipped.
imagine the feelings of the original
owners of these old houses to find
that. while a little blue warmed the
hearlhs of the big old fashioned fire
places, that now the rooms are heated
by little steam radiators, artfully con-
cealed under the window seats. the
house all connected with a sewer and
in place of the old well curb and
swuop, which still remains. the hot
and cold running water throughout the
houses. ,
What would the old people himl
said to the plate glass dome and
windows, the big porcelain bath tubs
and the hundred and one modem con-
veniences in these old old houses made
so very now, without at the same time
losing their air of antiquity.

NEW YORK, Dec. lit—With the be-
ginning of the fourth day of the bicy-
cle race at ,Madison Square Garden the
riders began setting a faster pace,
with the evident intention of relegat-
_ ing to the rear the weaker ones of the
contestants. ‘By 7 o’clock, the average
hourly speed had been raised to more
than nineteen miles. as agains sixteen
yesterday. Few of the men s ow any
serious trace of the terrific struggle
in which they have taken part and
from appearances today it looked as if
all might last through to the finish.
Admirers of the sport say the present
race is the best and most interesting
that they have ever seen here,
At 5 a, m..today Stol and Vander-
. stiiyt‘t made a dashing attempt to steal
a lap. but grand sprinting by John
liedcll. Walthour's partner. frustrated
the move. The attempts of Walthour
and Bedcil t regain the lap they are
behind the at or twelve tennis remains
the chief point of interest, with the
spectators. ,
One of the Worst spills of the race
occurred at 7:25 a. in. today, ten of
the thirteen ridela going down in a
smash-up. A number of the riders hall
to leave the track and some of them
scented to be badly hurt. The spill
. came after a mad sprint in which Fog-
ler was prominent. it occurred on the
. 27th street and Fourth avenue corner
of the Garden. which is known as the
”hoodoo" section of the track, as most
of the sensational accidents have oc—
curred there.
Eddie. Root was picking up his part—
ner. Fogler. when the latter's wheel
was run into by Matt Downer. In a
second there was a crash and the thou-
saddle of people who had remained in
the Garden during the night saw ten
of the riders scattered over the track.
The police and spectators lumped on
the track and helped to pick up the
fallen and stunnedudders. .Dr..Cresm—
er. who looks after the physical wel-
fare of the riders. was promptly on
hand and rendered all the assistance
possible to those whom he considered
the lunat seriously injured,
Carl Vanoni, of the French-Italian
team. was thrown over the protecting
fence into one of the boxes. lie sus-
tained painful injuries, including a
gush on his thigh. and Hollistcr, of
the Salt, Lake team, was badly injured
about the head. .
The race was suspended for quite a
while and the injured men were car-
ried to their quarters. in the mean-
time a corps of carpenters hurried to
repair the track. which was ripped and
torn for fully twenty yards. Root alld
Clark. the Australians. were the only
riders who escaped the spill. The men
who fell were: Hollister. Downey.
Ii‘ogler. Coffey, Rlltt, Wiley. Emil
Georget, Stol, Vanoui and Wallhour.
Ambulances were called, bilt none of
the injured men was removed from the
Garden.
C. L. Holllster, of Salt Lake City,
was said to be the most seriously ill-
jilrcil. He received a severe scalp
wound and internal injuries, while the
others escaped with scratcha, and most
of them suffered from shock.
All the riders. with the exception of
Holliater and Vanoni. were able to con-
tinue when the race was resumed af-
ter a delay of nearly and hour and a
half. The partners of the two injured
men continued the grind and it was
believed at that time that both Hol-
lliltcr and Vanoni would be able to
resume after two or three hours’ rest.
At 9 o'clock the score was 1.425
miles, 8 laps for all the teams. with the
exception of Wultilour and Bedoll. one
lap behind.
Tito good luck which favored Will-
t.hour ill the serious curly forenoon
spill did not. long remain with him.
Within an hour after the race was ri»
aumod, JohnBedeii. his partner. shot
out of the bunch and had ii lap to the
good before the crowd really got
soil-ted after him. Walthollr. who had
been resting. rushed to Bedell's relief
and was within a few inches of coin’
plating the filll lap when Downcy went
off the track with a. punctured tire
and the red flag was sent up. Under
the rules a lap gained while the flag
is exposed does not count.
The crowd of six thousand around
the track howled a protest and Sedan
lodged aformai complaint with the
judges. but was overruled.
Before 11 o'clock Samuelson atop-
ped riding and availed himself of
the rule giving him four hours to find
a partner without losing his place with
the leaders.

the passengers is hurt Traffic on
both inward tracks and one outbound
track was blocked for several hours.
The wreck was caused by one of
the driving wheels of the
breaking while the train was running
at. a high rate of speed in the rocky
cut above Melrose station. When the
necident threw the engine from the
rolls the train rushed along for five
hundred feet, tearing up tracks and
sleepers until the locomotive was over-
turned and completely wrecked. The
tender followed and two of the five
mail cars ware dragged from the rails,
completely blocking the two inbound
and one of the outbound express
trucks. In the mail cars were twenty
postal clerks. They were thrown about
and cut and bruised by the fearful
bumping the cars got as they were.
pulled along the sleepers before the
engine toppled over and. stopped fur-
