ing.
One hundred and sixty-five enthu-
siastic drive captains and workers
gathered for dinner to receive final
instructions and the, necessary in-
spiration to raise this large sum of
money for the new Nurses' Home
and Training School, which, it was
pointed out by many speakers. is an
immediate necessity to the public
health of the large section served by
the Norwalk General Hospital.
Distinguished Guests.
Norwalkers were honored by the
presence of two distinguished guests
at the dinner. both of whom have.
played a. leading role in the work of
iinanclng the hospital, Mr. E. '1‘. Bed-
ford of Greens Farms, and Mr.
James A. Farrell of Hickory Bluff.
Edward J. Quinlan. president of
the Kiwanis Club. which is sponsor-
ing the drive. was tonsimastcr. He
introduced the speakers, who includ-
ed: Mr. E. '1‘. Bedford. Mr. James
A. Farrell. Reverend Frederick S.
Jacobs, Father Dennis P. Hurley,
General Russell Frost. Mr. John Cav.
anagh. Mr. Samuel lloodner. Judge
John Keogh, Mr. William C. Baur,
Mr. George Barnes, Charles J. Mlntz,
Frederick J. Moran and Superintend-
ent C. B. Strayer.
Mr. Quinlan said a. few words of
thanks for the wonderful spirit of
co-operaiion apparent on all sides.
"This as a. great work," he said.
“and one Ivorihypf our very best
efforts. Nor is it for Norwalk that
we strive. for the hospital district.

Norwalk. Westport. Daricn, New Ca.

Means Hard Work. ,
"This drive which We are now
commencing is the largest which this
city has undertaken since the war.
Yet I am confident that the amount
desired will be raised—yes. even
oversubscribed. But it will mean
lots of work and. most of all, perfect
co-operation between all the work-
ers, from the captain all the way
down the line. Remember. a. chain
is only as strong as its weakest link.
and, unless every section is more or
less perfect. it. will surely break.
"We have gathered here tonight
for three distinct purposes. first. in
order to study the situation and the
needs of the hospital itself so that
when the actual canvassing begins
we will be able to explain to those
who don't understand or who won't
understand. just what this appeal is
about.
“Secondly, to enthuse the work-
ers. Inspiration is always necessary
for any great piece of work. and for
a proposition like this it is more than
necessary. it. is essential.
“Third, to have you meet the of-
ficers and directors of our‘ Norwalk
hospital. and I might. say a. better
organized or more efficient group of
men it would behind to find.
“Now I am going to introduce to
you as the first speaker of the eve-
ning. Mr. James A. Farrell. a. direc-u
tor of our hospital. who has worked
quietly and unceasingly in its in-
terest ever since his first association
with that institution.
"There is no necessity for any
lengthy remarks concerning the in-
stituting of a nurses' home as an
auxiliary to our hospital." began Mr.
Farrell.
What About a Crisis?
"The Norwalk Hospital has gain.
ed a good position in the hospital
world. but still it lacks suitable
quarters for the training of its
nurses and it is that condition which
{we will strive to remedy. If you
have ever needed a. nurse. you know
how difficult it is to get one in this
city. That is why we need the
school. so that we will be able to

ARRIVES HERE
FOR CRUSADE
Believes Revival at
Tabernacle Will Be
Great Success--What
He Hopes to Do
THE MAIN THING ~
Wants to Create Right
Atmosphere So That
Work in Norwalk
Will Continue
Dr. George Wood Anderson who
will lead the protestant churches of
this vicinity in their New Crusade
meetings starting tonight at seven
thirty o'clock in the tabernacle on
West Avenue arrived in this city
this afternoon at 3:29 o'clock. He
came from New York city and was
met at the train by members of the
executive committee and ministers.
When asked what. he thought
about the coming crusade Dr. An-
derson replied that from all he had
learned the meetings were going to
be a. great success.
“There are many things that can-
not be tabulated in a campaign of
this kind," stated the evangelist.
“The matter of conversions is a. his
objective of course and some peopie
make that the main thing, but to
me the chief business of a revival
is to create the right atmosphere
in a, community, so that when we
leave our Work is not ended but
goes right on.
"A revival is like putting pure air
it. but it clarifies. Just so a. revival
puts new life into u church. When
I have finished my work here. if
the right atmosphere has been crea-
ted the crusade will not bounded
but will only be in its beginning."-
Dr. Anderson will make his head-
quarters at the Royal James Hotel.

Homer W. Grimes, pianist and Bob-
ert Home, baritone.
The services which open at seven-
thirty o'clock tonight will continue

INQUEST HELD
Workmen Tell H o w
Foreman Was Killed
In So. Norwalk Trust
Company
The failure to replace the shoring ‘
against the 17-ton vault door at tho
South Norwalk Trust Company is .
thought to have been the cause of ,
the death of Mikkel Peterson of
I’lainfleld. N. J.. last Tuesday after-d
noon. ,
Peterson was killed instantly
when the large door which was be,-
ing put. in place in the new vault
in the bank suddenly fell over,
catching him in under it. .
Inquest Held.
At the inquest held into the death.
before Coroner John J. Phelan yes-
rterday afternoon John Wynne of
1912 Third avenue. New York city.
one of the workmen. stated that if
there had been a shoring against
the door. it would not have fallen. ‘
Wynne declared that a man by ,
the name of Martin who resided in ‘
New Haven and had been hiredy' ’
just for this Job should have had it
in place.
Wynne stated that be heard Mr.
Peterson tell Martin when they
started to move the door into the
building that he was to watch the
shoring and do nothing else. ‘ .
Wynne who has been erecting
safes for the past 25 years was in-
side the vault at the time the door
fell. He was making wedges to hold3
the door.
He informed Coroner Pheian that."
the door was in its final bed at. the
time.
Henry Lawson. another workman.
who was on the outside of the vault.
also testified that there was no shor-
ing against the door at. the time the;
it fell. He had only been on the job
half an hour at the time of the
accident.
Called Out Warning.
He was standing about three feet
from the door and heard John P‘e-g
sak. a carpenter shout a. warning.
and upon looking up saw the big
door was coming down.
He tried to grab Mr. Peterson and
pull him out of danger. but was too:
late. He narrowly escaped injury.
John Pesak. a carpenter. of Sum-
mit street, this city, was the first to
notice the falling door. He saw _
Peterson start to run and he seemed
to be nearly out of danger, when he .
slipped and fell. One of his arms
stuck out from in under the door.
He said that there was no shoring on
the door. at the time.
Charles E. Hoyt. treasurer 'of the
South Norwalk Trust Company. said
that he had been informed by some
men who were working on the roof
of the building. that a freight train
had passed about the time the door
fell and that the vibration caused
the door to break away.
Medical Examiner Samuel H.
Huntington said that Mr. Peterson's
body was badly crushed by ,the door
and that he died instantly.
Cornoer Phony utter listening to
the ultimo: .21 continued the hearing
