The train. it was said this morn-
ing. Cfllllti out of the station at a
factor rate than usual because of
the fact that it was late. it gath-
ered speed of about 35 miles in

is reported.

A crowd of spectators who gath-
ered, assisted in trying to remove
the wreckage from the train. it
could not be dislodged to any ex-
tent, and the train. being late. it is
said, did not wait until I wrecker
arrived. it started off about is
minutes after the crash. carrying
the twisted remains of the car for
quite a levy feet and wrecking It
considerably more.
Fratto told The Eiening Sentinel
this morning that his loss will
amo\'it to about $350 or 3400. He
was up and about at his electric
shop as was DiNoeastro. They are
none the worse, for the accident
other than after effects of nervous-
flees. '
Not Highway.
It is claimed by the railroad that
this crossing is not a. public high-
way and officials offer this excuse
us a. reason for having posted only
two danger signs at either side of
the crossing. 10 feet from the
tracks.
The Mechanic street crossing in
a deatbtrap. with the view obscur-
ed on both sides. This is the gen-
eral conclusion today. A sharp
turn on River street gives entrance
to the croasing. It too is shrouded
on both sides by trees.
Measures must be taken imme-
diately. is the expressed belief to-
day. to ward off further accidents
at the crossing. Despite the rail-
road'e claim that the crossing is not
a. public highway, the road is much
used.
Danger signs now there do not
give sufficient warning to the
motorist because he has to be al-
most on the track before he can
see them.
' ‘uthorities could not be reached
this morning who would make any
definite statement for the railroad
company. but it is expected that
protective measures will be install-
ed soon.

first collision on the Danbury line

They took his statements as a chal.

SEATTLE. July 8.—-'l‘he example
of Tennessee was cited as an evi-
dence of the need ow adult educa-
tion by Mrs. Julia G. Eabcock. pub-
lic librarian of Bakersfield Califor-
nia. in an address to the American
Library Association conference here
last night. >
"With the example of Tennessee
and a. many-times presidential can-
didate before us at this time." Mrs.
Babcock said. “we cannot but see.
that some of us as states as well as
individuals are unwilling to accept
truth."
“if we have fears for a religion
which is in no wise at conflict with
truth and which needs no such fee-
ble defense as prohibitory state
laws, we are far from being an in-
telligent nation" she asserted.
"Adult education might well he.
gin its work with state legislatures
and retired politicians."

Meeting— Mrs. John
Stewart Speaks
/
The organization of tho Darien Po.
lice Headquarters in the Town Hall
took a step forward this morning
when the office equipment was in~
stalled and Officer Charles Wood put
at the. desk for the duty.
Officer Terry Lambert was reliev-
ed from night ditty at 6 o'clock.
Three desks have been delivered to
the Town Hall. with chairs and ma-
terials for partitioning of! the rear
of the building as the police station.
As yet there have been no entries
on the blotter. Many interested peo-
ple of the town have been running
in for the past few days to look the
new station over, and numerous tel-
ephone calls have been received at
the regular Town Hall phone.
In order to keep calls for the offi-
cers at the desk separate and to
eliminate the .bother of using but
one phone for the police and other
town officials, the Telephone Com-
pany installed a telephone in the
rear room of the hall. which is to be
police headquarters.
Persons who desire to call the de-
partment will save other town offi-
cers a great deal of trouble by ask-
ing the Daricn operator hereafter
for Darien 630.
Tile new Town Court Will be in
session upstairs in the Town Hall on
Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. At
that time the case held over from
Monday night's inaugural. meeting
will be heard.
The State Police arrested another
driver this morning on the Post
road near the Darien line on a
charge of driving without a. license
and failing to have the proper reg-
istration plates on his machine. In
the absence of bonds. the driver is
being held in the “coop." and it is
his presence which is responsible for
the placing of Officer Wood on day
duty at the desk.
To date there are only two cases
for the new Town Court Saturday
morning. The local police have yet
to make their first arrest.
Considerable remodelling of the
building will have to be made be.
fore the fine equipment can be in-
stalled. It is expected that partio
lions will have to be torn out in or-
der to get the three desks in the
room.
