Milford, March 22 Patrick Moore, a section band and track walker em ployed by the New Haven road, was found dead upon the railroad embank ment about 300 feet west of the sta tion, this morning, a deep gash on the left side of the head and a broken right leg indicating- that he had been struck by a fast train and hurled from its path. None saw More meet his'death and it Is not known toy what train- he was etrcck, but it Is the belief of others employed with him on the road, thai following his usual custom he arose early and in the eii-obscurlty of the morning made his regular patrol of the tracks. The Portland express which passes shortly before the hour his body was discovered by a pedes trian, is thought by many to have run him down, although it appears he was not seen by the train crew. The dead man had resided in Mil ford for many years, having come from the outlying country section. He sur vived a wife who died ten years ago, leaving eight small children whom he cared for and reared himself. The youngest son Is now ten years old. He was a regular attendant at St. Mary's Roman Catholic church, and his loss will be deeply felt in the com munity where he had endeared himself to many through kindly acts.' Medical Examiner J. W. Ives, who jseued a permit for burial, found that death was accidental. STORM FORCES TELEGRAMS INTO, CIRCUITOUS WAYS Chicago, March 22 So severe was the effect of the sleet etorm, yester day, on telegraph and telephone wires that it will be several vj eke before the damage has been repaired com pletely. There was some improve ment, today, but at best telegraphic service was feeble and liable to in terruption. Some curioue routing of messages were made necessary by the prostra tion of the wires. It is only 85 miles from Chicago to Milwaukee but preee telegrams between the two cities had to travel 2,000 miles or more. Tele grams from Chicago went from Chi cago to Pittsburgh and around on a leased "wire through Columbus, O., Cincinnati, Omaha, Kansas City and Minneapolis to Milwaukee. The As sociated Press leased wire to Peoria was routed via Pittsburgh and St. Louie. It Is estimated that the damage done to wires will aggregate $2,000,000, the heaviest loss which the telegraph and telephone companies have suffer ed from storms in the last five years.

'To that end the com mission first sought the aid of Pres ident Wilson, with whom they con ferred at the White House. Lieut. Governor O'Hara was accompanied at this conference with the President by the other members of the commission, Senators Beall, Tossey, Woodward and Juuh After outlining to the President the results of the inquiry in Illinois which revealed in many instances that girls and young work, ing women were paid less than a liv ing wage and that many of them led double lives, the commissioners re quested the President to call a na tional conference of State Governors to plan a systematic and sane cam paign to better working conditions of woman throughout the nation. Federal co-operation was sought in the movement already begun in many states for the appointment of state commissions similar, to -that from Il linois to conduct inquiries into the wage situation and into organized vice conditions in the various states.

HEROIC RESCUE OF CREW AFTER BARK WRECKED Grimsby, Eng., March 22. The French bark Marie, from San Fran cisco for Hull, at the end of her long voyage, today, met with disaster and destruction which gave occasion for the heroic rescue of her captain and crew of 24 men by the trawler Amer. The Marie went ashore, last night, on Haisborough Sands, in the - North Sea during a. storm, and was being pounded to pieces by terrific seas. The crew had almost lost hope when the Amer hove in sight, launched her life boat and took them off. The captain and mate of the Marie refused to leave their ship until every man of the crew had been saved and taken on board the Amer. The Amer's lifeboat was too much battered by the waves to return to the Marie so the trawler stood by all through the night. At daylight, this morning,, the steward of the French bark, , who had been brought with his comrades on board the Amer, dived . into the sea with a lifeline and swam to the wreck from which he and the captain and mate were ultimately dragged through the sea to the rescuing vessel. They were landed here some hours later. TURKISH LEADER T SURRENDER ADRIANOPLE FORT Adrianople, March 22 (7 a. m.) Shukri Pasha, the commander of this fortress, and his devoted troops are determined to continue the heroic de fens they have carried on for five months and all reports as to oilers made by themto surrender may be dismissed as pure inventions. Only starvation can force the capitu lation of the beleaTired garrison. Food is still regularly distributed among the population by the military authorities. Perfect order prevails within the city and the report emanating from Sofia that Shukri Pasha has ordered the Greek and Armenian bishops here to be hanged because they had drawn attention to the alleged miseries of the population is groundless. It has aroused much indignation here, the two prelates themselves being among the most, energetic of those protesting against the calumny. The Bulgarian besiegers are making no progress and- their occasional as saults have been futile. The inter mittent bombardment has not done any harm to the defending forts which remain intact. Discord is said to prevail among the allied armies and the Servians brought up to assist the Bulgarians in the siege remain idle in their lines, , not participating in any of the active op erations. Waichman,Auto Victim Dies; Driver Arrested Hartford, March 22.

FANNY CROSBY IS 93 NEXT MONDAY Famous Hymn Writer Re " tains Wonderful Mental Agility Despite Her Years ' Fanny Crosby, among the best be loved ' women of America, will cele brate her 93d' birthday in this city on Monday. . A shining example of the helpful influence of optimistic thought, she" retains the mental agility; and al most the same meed of physical alert ness that have always characterized the interesting career of the world famed blind hymn writer. Almost wholly .recovered from the ravages of an attack of pneumonia that for a time caused gravest ap prehension, the versatile woman whose verses are known the world over, is anticipating with keen enjoyment the celebration of her birthday. Tomorrow evening at the First M. E church thefe will be a. formal ob servance of the event. George C. Stebbins, who has written the music for many of the Crosby hymns, will attend, and Mrs. Jennie Bennett Car penter, also blind; a famous soloist, and intimate friend of Fanny Crosby will take part. They will be the guests over Sunday of Miss Crosby, at the home of Mm Henry Booth,- her niece, 226 Wells street. . On Monday, in keeping with a cus tom of several years. Miss Crosby will be a. guest at the home of Mrs. Or ville Rector, where will be held a re ception for the Senior and Junior Cir cles of the Kign's Daughters. An evidence of the mental vigor of Fanny Crosby is to be found in her poem to Cleveland, read at the dedica tion this week of the Old Manse, Cleveland's birthplace in Caldwell, N. J. It follows: "By the margin of a river. Where a watch the angels keep. Fast and Present lift their voices From the waves that never sleep. And a thrill of hallowed music Wakes the" echoes far away. For the memory bells are ringing Grover Cleveland's natal day. "Grover Cleveland, on thy birthday. Smile upon our grateful throng From thy paradise of glory In the summer land of song!

Crowned with laurels, Thou-art cone to thy reward; Thou hast heard the joyful welcome " Of thy Saviour and thy Lord. May we follow in thy footsteps 'Till our faith is lost in sight. And we meet thee In the morning. Nevermore to say 'Good night!' " NEWTOWN Newtown, March 22. Miss Helen Madigan of Bridgeport came Wednes day and will be the Easter guest of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Madigan, Depot Road. The condition of the cesspools on Main street in the borbugh is caus ing worry.if not to the owners, at least to the residents in the lower part of the village living on the banks of the brooks receiving the overflowing sew age. So far Newtown has made no provisions for a sewer system since the introduction of the water works, and the cesspools are inadequate for the purpose, and when full empty or drain into West Creek, or to the brooks west of Queen street and the Boulevard. This happens every time there is a long wet spell as at present. Before the city water was put in, the residents of the borough only enjoyed the privileges of the bath and water for household use, but now all have full-fledged toilets, making the over flow from the cesspools a deadly menace in the open drains to the creeks as well, as poisoning the waters of the creeks. What adds to the perils of the situation is the fact that two of these streams flow through the lands where pasture the cattle of the local milkman, Mr, Harmon H. Peck, as well as through the fields of two others who send their milk to the city. People are wondering why the health officer is not cognizant of this state of affairs and has not acted before as it has been a matter of common discussion for a year or more. It is sincerely to be hoped that now as it is publicly pointed out in these columns, that something will be done before an epidemic of typhoid, or some other stomach disorder breaks out in town, and we find ourselves hastening to lock the barn door after the horse is gone. If the borough officials fail to act, the aggrieved citizens will appeal to the State Board of Health; and this latter course seems the only way as the borough officers have done nothing towards compelling the water company to purify the water supplied from its reservoir, which is still unfit for use for culinary or drinking pur poses, although the matter was brought to their notice nearly two months ago. The well-known fact that the borough board and official board of the water company are identical explains the remissness of the former in the performance of their sworn duty. But the citizens are getting their eyes opened and the next annual meeting of the borough promises to be no tame affair. In the present temper of our people, an absolute di vorce between the Water company and & G 1105 Main St. lO RTTK ST. CKCTLE. pari the borough seems imminent. It is certainly up to the borough fathers to do something, and do it right away to abolish the general nuisance, en dangering the public health, before an aroused people take drastic measures -for relief or abatement of the nuis ance complained of. All the public school teachers of the town have received notices from E. L. Brown, chairman Pension Committee State. Teachers' League that the hear ing on Teachers' Pension bill . before the Legislative committee on Educa-. tion, will occur in Representatives' Hall, Capitol Hartford, Wednesday, March 26, at 8 p. m. and urging them to attend and 'extend the' invitation to their school visitors and commit tees, if favorably Inclined, to . meet with them and especially, urge their representatives and state senator to be present and advocate a favorable re port on the bill. Messrs. Hook and Conger, . representatives from New town have promised to appear in fav or of the bill, and several members of the local board of school visitors have signified, their approval of this meas ure. , Mr. Arthur J. Gallagher who was a former representative favors some measure of this kind and has given a tentative promise to be pres ent if business will permit. The chief objection to the pending measure is basing the amount of pension on the last five years' annual salary, in the locality where employed, there being no uniformity of renumeration for teachers' services in the different towns of the state. It looks like pay ing a premium for parsimony on the part of the educational authorities of come of the country towns, Newtown being a notorious offender in this re spect. The average annual salary for the thirty or more years spent in teaching would be. It is urged by many teachers who come under the operation of Uie proposed law, a more equitable basis, and tend to dp away with the starvation wage salary foster ed by the authorities of many small country towns. However, any meas ure looking toward rewarding the faithful services of these old teachers who desire to retire, is a step in the right direction, and ought' to be en couraged. Hence that all school of ficers should feel it incumbent on them to at least write the committee on Education at Hartford and urge a favorable report on the pending bill is the contention of" the Teachers' League of Connecticut as voiced through its official representative.

All work of the commission in charge of said enterprise must be held in abeyance as a consequence or said resolution; and Whereas, The Perry amendment alone accomplished the passage of said resolution in the Senate and said ac tion was taken without any due real ization of its consequences and In flat contradiction of the deliberately ex pressed Judgment of the last General Assembly; and Whereas, A measure of vital im portance to the commercial welfare of Connecticut is in imminent danger of contravention as the result of hasty, inconsiderate action by the assembly; be It . Resolved, That the New London Bus iness Men's Association protest against the course lately taken by the Senate as setting an unconscionable prece dent in compassing, upon no good or sufficient grounds, the repeal of an ap propriation previously deliberately and wisely imade and now in present pro cess of useful expenditure and as im posing an unwarrantable hardship up on New London as discouraging to the public enterprise of Connecticut busi nessmen and as wholly inadequate and ineffective in terms for any fair ex pression of the intent of the Senators who endorsed it; be it further Resolved, That these presents be given the widest possible publication and that the co-operation of every legitimate interest be invoked to pre vent approval of the Senate's action By the Hovise of Representatives.
