And after Gettysburg,-what? Will a trail of death lead, out from the famous,
old battlefield into the homes of hundreds of the aged veterans all over the land? This ;
picture may serve as a text for speculatipn. Beaten down by the intense heat, these '
two old men, heroes both of , the fight of '63, lay on cot? in the hot field hospital tent j
gasping for breath and for life. A nurse hovered over them, doing her best to relieve j
their suffering and to keep alive their waning strength. So in nearly two, score other
hospital tents lay others equally, ill and near the borderland. Several thousand other !
veterans were affected by the
camp life. They left for their
that they were overtaxing
summer is over? '

CONNECTICUT AUTO
LAWS AMENDED
Powerful Warning Signal Required
But Its TTse Restricted Muffler
Cut-Out Barred
! Hartford, .Conn., July ,. 6 Several
amendments to the -State automobile
laws have Just been passed by. the
legislature and : signed ' by Governor
Baldwin. These -amendments were
made with two ends in view; to Jrifeure
the maximum of safety in tho oper
ation of motor vehicles, and; to elimi
nate unnecessary noise.
The most ' important sections deal
With brakes, mufflers; and warning
, must bo provided - with. at least two
powerful, brakes. . .The. motors or an
automobiles must.be muffled a.t. all
times in such a manner that the noise
of the exhaust will not "constitute a
nuisance to the public."
The section relating to 'warning sig
nails is of especial significance as it
rlmelv conforms to - similar action
taken last month by the state, of Cali
fornia and to measures, now. In effect
In over a. score of large cities. It pro
vides that every motor vehicle shall
be equipped with .a signal device
"which shall produce an abrupt sound
sufficiently loud to serve job an ade
quate warning of danger." While mak
ing compulsory the use of a powerful
signal, the law stipulates that "no
person shall make or cause to be
made any unnecessary noise with such
a signal or. use of the same except as
a warning of danger." . '
The circumstances attending the
passage of this measure are particu
larly interesting. A member of the
Legislature, a non-motorist, introduc
ed a bill making Illegal the use of any
warning signa&v except s-that operated
by means of a,, rubber , bulb. The
committee . to which this .was referred
made an investigation and found that
the bulb horn was entirely inadequate
and inefficient as a safety device,
proposed bill was therfeore rejected
and the present statute providing for
the restricted use of a powerful' sig
nal substituted. .
i Legislation of this character in the
interest of public safety and public
comfort has done much toward remov
ing the prejudice often felt by the
pedestrian for the , .motorist..

CHURCH HOES
ARE CHARGED
M ullLITAIJTG
" London,jnly 5 A Methodist chapel-
tn!the! Welch eeacoast ton of
PwirhwU, . - constructed recently at a
cost of 40,000 was destroyed by fire,
today, and en attempt was made to
burn down- the Bapttat tabernacle In
the- same town. This is the 4th case
of sacrilege in northern Wales during
a week. As usual when an unknown
incendiary fire occurs at the present,
time, militant suffragettes are sus
pected by. the authorities but no evi
dence was . found to incriminate them.
Another supposed attempt by mili
tant suffragettes to commit an out
rage on public property occurred , at
Bolton," "'Lancashire, ' this morning,
when the caretaker of the new town
hall, which cost tlSO,090t discovered a
parcel containing explosives in the
letter box.- A' fuse which was attach
ed had been lighted but had gone out.
Miss Annie Kenny and Miss Rachel
Barrett, the first of whom was un
deroing eighteen months imprisonment
and the second nine months imprison
ment on' a conviction of committing,
malicious damage to property, were re
leased from Jail again, today, ' suf
fering from the effects of a "hunger
and thirst strike."
Miss Kenny is reported to bo very ill.
Many of the imprisoned suffragettes
refrain from taking both food and wa
ter, and consequently become weak
very rapidly so that the authorities am
obliged to release them from Jail more
frequently on license under the provi
sions of the "cat and mouse bill," - r
which they are set at liberty when ill
and re-arrested on their recovery.
Miss Sylvia Panhurut failed to ap
pear at Bow street police court, toAny,
to answer a summons charging hr
with inciting a crowd to raid the of
ficial residences in ' Downing street of
Premier Asquith and: Chancellor of the
Exchequer Lloyd-George on June 29.
when 'a .violent conflict between the
police and the suffragettes with their
sympathizers tok' place. A warrant
was at once Issued for her arrest.
