Joseph O'Connor of 45 Sanford ave-
nue, Bridgeport, had good cause to
exclaim "sweet patootie" following an
accident at Mortuary Turn this noon,
when n horse and wagon driven by him
and loaded with sweet potatoes,
crashed over the stone wall into the
yard of St. Paul’s church and broke
the new automatic warning signal
erected there by the state during the
past week.
The accident was caused by one of
the tra e reins breaking as the heav-
«it’ll la wagon was descending the
u .
O'Connor was slightly out and
bruised, while the horse was cut. but
was seemingly none the worse for its
hurdle of the four-foot stone wall. and
its impact with the signal, which
was a heavily built affair of iron. The
isignal was completely demolished.
The sweet potatoes were scattered
all over the'street and church yard.
and the wagon was quite badly dam-
aged. but was able to be taken in
tow again.
As O‘Connor was leaving the scene
of the accident the wagon lurched to
one side and crashed into a car driven
by Dominic Travella, an employe of
the Columbia Taxi company. crushing
the mudguard on the auto.
Sergt. Bryan Silk investigated the
accident but made no arrests.
The signal had been installed in
ilhe church yard in a spot where its
red light would shine up WestporL
Hill and so warn automobillsts of the
bad turn at the. bottom. It had not yet.
been put into operation. It was be-
lieved that it had been put in a com-
paratively safe spot, but today's acci-
dent shows that it was not.

was reported that the fireman of the

was not taken to a hospital. and his

was probably due to the fog. which

It was (1 proud day in the lives of
local members of the Masonic order
for the new temple is an impressive
structure and is one of the finest in
the state to be devoted entirely to the
rights and benefits of Masomry. The
building was erected about a quarter
of a century ago as the Chapel of Our
Saviour. an adjunct of St. Paul's Epis—

ports that efforts to bring about I
settlement of the coal miners’ strike
are being made partially relieved the
spirit of anxious uncertainty with
which the British Nation began work
today.
John Robert (‘lynes, former Food
Controller. and one of the most mod-

pressed confidence that a settlement
was possible within a Week if both
ideas could be brought together to
calmly discuss the merits of the con-

demands and the sub-
mission of the remainder to an im—
partial tribunal. J. H. Thomas. Geno
era! Secretary of the Rational Union
of Railway-men, has also made. mod-
erate statements, and both these men
are relied upon to do their utmost
to shorten the strike.
Newspapers contrast the atttitudo
of Clynes and Thomas with that of
C. T. Cramp. president of the Nation-
al l'niou of Railwaymen. who has
given significant warning to members
of that union of “the serious situa-
tion which will be created if the
miners :lrt defeated." They also call
attention to an utterance by another
prominent labm'ite. Edwin Bevin,
secretary of the Dork VVorkern'
l’nion. who in a speech yesterday ac.-
cused the Government of having on-
gineered the strike, and charged it
with double-dealing.
