TH
Samuel Worden, of 29 High street.
First District, is at his home. it is
reported quite badly injured as the
result of an accident on North Main
stieel at 5:30 o'clock last night when
a jitney driven by John Cappola, of
human stieet. overturned opposite
Tilly's carriage shop, while Mrs. Dan-
icl lleering of 12 Franklin avenue,
and two and a half year old son.
Daniel Deering, Jr., are confined to
their homes today with bruises and
slight cuts.
Mrs. lleering and son and Mr. Vl’or-
den. tcgether with another were pas-
sengers in Coppola's jitney when the
accident occurred,“and were thrown
together in a heap when the car over-
turned.
Mrs. Deering was able to crawl out
of the overturned car and was in an
hysterical condition when she reach-
ed a place of safety. She was taken
to her home by Howard Bell who
came along at this time.
The name of the other man in the
jitney was not learned. Coppola was
not injured. but was' badly shaken up.
The accident happened when Coppo-
Ia attempted to squeeze his car be-
tween the trolley and a standing au‘
tomobile to turn to go up West ave-
nuc. and according to some witnesses
he ran directly in the path of the
oncoming trolley which was going
up West avenue as well. The rear of
the jitney. it was said by some was
struck by "the car which resulted in
the machine overturning as the front
wheels were cramped so sharp was
the attempt to turn to go up thi
avenue.
The trolley was operated by Cyrui
W, Cray. Sr.. and John Hannigan war
the conductor.
Vy'mden was taken to his home and
it was said this morning that two of
his ribs were fractured and that he
was suffering from a dislocated
shoulder and wrist.

Democratic Candidate for
Secretary of State, With
Attorney Quinlan, Ad-
dresses Ladies .
A large and highly enthusiastic
audience of Norwaik women assem-
bled in the council chamber, City hall,
last evening. Mrs. Fanny Dixon
Welch of Columbia. Connecticut. dem-
ocratic candidate for secretary of
state. addressed the meeting. .
Mrs.'Welch has been a suffrage ad-
herent for many years and has cen»
tered her energies upon organisation
work. She has a very pleasing per-
sonality and in a humorous and in-
teresting manner delighted her audi-
ence in what was generally conceded
to be an all together too brief talk.
At the conclusion of Mrs. “'elch'n
talk, Mrs. Lillian 8. Abbott, the chair-
woman of the meeting, introduced
Corporation Counsel Edward J. Quin-
lan. the democratic candidate for
senator from the 26th senatorial dis
trict. Mr. Quinlan informed his audi-
ence that while the national issues
were very important. that a candidate
for a local oillce should not expect
the votes of his community without
some consructive ideas on local mat-
ters. He adverted to the influence
which a senator should have at Hart-
ford: spoke of the state roads which
radiated from New Canaan to all
places except Norwalk and suggested
ed that while legislatively improve—
ments might not be had that never-
theless. an ofllcial such as a state
senator should be of considerable in-
fluence with the authorities at Hart-
ford in obtaining the needs of the
community. He. also spoke of the
high taxation under the republican
state administration and its effect up
on coats: of the deplorable public
transportation situation: and of the
relation between landlord and tenant.
He suggested that his opponent had
presented bills during his legislative
career at the request of persons or
organizations. but had not farthcrml
one constructive resolution lic laid
strong emphasis on the fact that the
republican candidate. Mr. Candec.
while a member of the legislature had
procured a judicial appointment to
the city court of Norwalk and sat on
the judicial committee in the legisla-
ture. which conduct was in violation
of the spirit of our governmental in~
stitutions and of the principals upon
which our government was built.
namely: that the executive. legisla-
tive and Judicial departments should
be separate and distinct. and that one
man should not endeavor to occupy
a judicial and a legislative PMllOl’l at
the same time. Mr. Quinlan also
dwelt upon the personnel and merit
of the democratic ticket and made
a plea for the election of Mr. Loner-
zan and contrasted the record of Mr.
Lonergan with that of Mr. Brandegee.
At the conclusion of his address.
he urged the ladies to join in the final
work or having the ladies register,
impressing upon them that today was
the last day for such purpose. at the
City Hall in South Norwaik.
