Long Campaign Waged By Sentinel And Board Of Trade Gets Results Trial Bus Service Between Soon Be In Operation Darien and Norwalk Will Following Conference 0f ‘ Business Men and Connecticut Company Managers f At Norwalk Club‘. A cunpaign begun two years ago by The Evening Sentinel and the Norwalk Board of Trade for bus service between this city and Darien, carried on tirelessly despite a wall of opposi- tion, achieved its objective yesterday when the Connecticut coin- aany agreed to establish such a route for a trial period of 30 ys. Hearing To Be Asked. Service will begin in a comparative- ly short time after final details of the route have been settled and after a hearing before the public utilities commiuion which., it is expected. will be called in Norwalk. The steps leading up to the vic- tory yesterday have been many. Local merchants under the leader- ship of the board of trade and as- sisted in every possible way by this newspaper have kept up a constant barrage for a Norwalk-Darien bus line. realizing it meant increased business for them and a benefit to the whole city. Recently 160 Darien people signed a petition addressed to the Connecticut Co. in which the necessity of a bus route to and from this city was stressed. and its open- ing 11 ged. T various waves of appeal and protest resulted yesterday in a meet- ing at the Norwalk club which was attended by J. B. Potter. manager of therConnecticut Co. for this divi- sion with headquarters in Bridge- port.Thomas MacLean, local super- intendent of the company. and a committee of members of the board of trade. The board of trade committee was headed by Fred Moran. president of the organisation. and included John Munsie. Fred Kane. Henry Jacoby. J. Emory Stov ens. Robert Benedict. Francis Burns and Ben Keeler. If: v addition there were presont Mrs. ‘ L‘Hommedieu and Mrs. Dale. of. Dorian. who were instrumental securing many signers to the petition there. Thrmeeting was an informal one. Mr. Potter had been invited to this city to meet various members of the board of trade and listen to their arguments as to .why they considered a Darien-Norwaik bus routm so im- portant to the welfare of both com- munities. He was also to be shown over various suggested lines of travel.” There was no belief that he would lhg'ree to starting the line, because Connecticut Co. ofllclals have argued up to now that there was not. sum- clent traffic to warrant a Darlen- Norwalk bus line and that it could .lcnly be run at a. loss. Yesterday’s ’meeting was arranged as a. get-to- gether to attempt to convince Mr. Potter that members of the board of trade were not unreasonable and to try to get at the root of his op- position to the desired service. Potter Test. Surprise and pleasure greeted Mr. Potter's announcement that the best way to find out if the service would pay was to try it out and that he would agree to a 30 day test of reg- ular bus connection between here and Darien. The route suggested by the Con- necticut Co. will follow the Post road from the Darien railroad- sta- tion to Cedar street. then into Fair- field. avenue. Wc‘st Washington gtreot. Railroad avenue to the South Nomadic station. This would provide paved roads all the way which the company seeks as a requisite for gel-vice. Some members of the board of ‘ trade argued for a route which would leave the post read at Taylor avenue follow it through to Flax- hill road. then into West Washing. ton street on the station. It is bdievod if this latter route is followed steps can be taken to have a smooth pavement laid on Taylor avenue which is new torn up for the laying of e "was. and which even before that. was in a badly pitted condition. A loop through Franklin street wagalso diamrsesed at y‘esterday’a ‘ meeting. Opinion among the mar- chants today is that the saute will . .w from the beginning because a ‘ m firetch of territory in Darien «land along the post read now uncov- .' ered by any means of public trans- ‘pertatlon. will be tapped. A half . hour schedule wil be maintnlned. it : upelleved. and it is likely the ser- .' .vice will start early in July.

CARDINAL noxznxo Witl e arrival of Cardinal Benzene, papal legato, and other cardinals of this and foreign countries in Chicago yesterday, everything' 1s about ready for the opening of the great Eucharistic Congress Sunday. It was estimated that about 200.- 000 people took part in Chicago's welcome to Cardinal Bonzano after his arrival yesterday. Michigan Boulevard was throngcd for a dis- tance of three miles. A din of locomotive whistles. auto- mobile horns. military bands. church bells and other noise-making devices augmented the cheering thousands who gazed upon the smiling face of Cardinal Bonzano and Cardinal Mundelein. who greeted his guest. They rode side by side to the home of Cardinal Mundelein and the Cathedral of the Holy Name through milling throngs where the vicar of the Pope made it evident that all the glories and splendor which he has met since his arrival in this country last week were no more than trifl- ing. Fo .. entering the cathedral. he knelt in prayer of thanksgiving for his safe arrival. Cathedral of the Holy Name. the formal welcome of Cardinal Mun- delcin constituted the first rites in- cident to the Eucharistic ceremonies. Throngs which lined the route of the procession from the station swept through the police lines at several points. halting the column until pathfindlng machines could go through. Squads of motorcycle police sur- ‘rounding the legate's car were un- equal to the insistence of the en- thusiastic groups who pressed for- ward to touch the scarlet robes. Many dropped to their knees in the street for the pontifical blessing. and others trailed the automobile for blocks in an effort to kiss the legate's ring. Cardinal onzano. riding at the right hand f Cardinal Mundeleln. smiled graciously throughout the procession, lifting his hand many times to bestow his blessing upon the throngs. ' Mayor William E. Devcr was the first layman to greet‘Cardinal Bono zano. The city council accompani- ed thevmayor tothe station and marched in a body to the cathedral ceremonies. After escorting the legato to the cardinal's throne. Cardinal Mundel- sin. in his address of welcome. salut- ed him as "the first legato of the Holy Father ever to set foot on the shores of the United States." Cardinal Benzene. in a statement at the station. said he brought the blessing of Pope Plus to the people of Chicago andthe United States "as iudo and esteem for the fidelity. generosity and goodwill of the noble liberal hearted, great souled pcople.‘ Gifts From'anit-an At the arehiepistzopnl residence. where he ivill stay during the. cou- gress. Cardinal Bonsuno presented Cardinal Mundelein gifts from the Vatican for use in the euchnristic rites. An altar cloth and n decora- tive sanctuary screen of rare lace: for use in the consecration of the sacrament. and an ancient missal. were among the papal offerings. The cardinals will devote them- selves for the next two days to sight- seeing and rest.

Colorado. and was on his way to this city to visit his parents and attend ihe're- union of the class of 1911 at Yale University. Mr. lofts was asleep in the third car on the train when the terrific crash came. Tie said it was estimat- ed by persons in the car that the train was traveling between 55 and . 60 miles an hour at the time. Before retiring Mr. Belts had placed a. large pillow between the side of his berth and his head and when the crash came his head struck the pillow instead of the woodwork. Several other people in the car complained of injuries to their heads. His largo miles which was in the rack above the berth was thrown for a distance of several feet out into the car and he was nearly hurled out of tho berth. Helped .‘iovc Engineer. Realizing that there must ho something wrong be dressed hur- riedly and ran out of the car. lie could hear the cries and moans of the. people inured. Running along the tracks which were torn up for a. distance of over 100 feet he reached the engine of his train and could hear the cries of W. S. Gordon of Derry, Pa. who was under a mass of wreckage. I~le assisted in the re- moval of the engineer from the cab and held his head while he dic- tated a. last message to his family in Derry, while giving out this message to be carried to the loved ones at home the engineer died. He was badly mangled. Mr. Betta then set about assisting in the wreckage of several others. He had a. flashlight in his pocket which he used in connection with his work on the. Mol'fat tunnel and brought it into use with very good results, as a. majority of the rescu- ers were forced to work in complete darkness. As he walked slowly alongside the train bringing his light into play Mr. lietts saw the body of Betty Dun- woody. aged four. daughter of Can- tain and Mrs. William B. Dunwoody. of Wilkensburgh. Pa. The child's head was severed from her body. He could hear the cries of another child and upon further search he found Frances Dunwoody aged six years. a. sister. under the wreckage. Her cries to take her out could be heard but by the time she was re- moved, she was dead. Mrs. Dun- woody who was with the children was also killed in the wreck. Buried But Safe He assisted in the rescue of an. other man who was under the wreckage but was uninjured. This man had been asleep in his berth and parts of the wreckage came so close that it ripped his night clothes off. Part of the steel wree‘kage form- ed an arch over his body and he lay for more than an hour on the ground before he was removed. The only thing that he complained of was the cold weather. Mr. Bette was at work near the spot where T. F. Farrell was taken from the wreckage. He was from East Orange. N. J.. and was promi- nent in the coal industry. He urged people who tried to rescue him to leave him alone and save women about him. as he was mortally wounded. Mr. Betta said the four tracks for a distance of 100 feet were torn up and that wreckage from the col- lision was strewn all about the place. ' It was the worst sight that he had ever witnessed during his life a he said that he would never for- get the experience. He considered himself very fortunate in escaping injury. He was thankful that his wife and children were not on the. train with . him.
