port division and Snpt. Potter of the Norwalk division took Issue with
him-and defended tbe lights. They both declared that, the lights now
in use were much hotter than those used previously 'and that the
system under which they were operated was a better system than the
'old one. -. . t ' '
Atty. Baldwin who represents the Connecticut Co, Joined them
declaring that the. present lights and system were the' best pro

(Bpeciia to
Westport, Jtily tl. -At the third of
mi series of tests conduoted'oa tbe Oon
tnecticut Company's lines at the Coun
try Clufb switch, near Westport and
the scene of the recent trolley fatality,
it was today proven conclusively ,by
Corsnor John J. Phelan of tils city
lend chief engineer C. O'UlweU of the
ftfbllc Utilities Commission, tlntt the
lights in the signal (box would be in-
K iaMe -nd cars yet aible to run under
power f nrnished.
With six caVs on the line . at . one
time coming' from opposite directions,
the lights were so dim thai: they oould
hardly be seen at a distance of three
kee. With eirnt cars on the line, which
was alleged by members of the Trolley-men's
union, the coroner and En
glneer Elwell to approximate the con
dition at the time f the wreck, the
lights were totally extinguished 'and
cars were running- up the hill.
A. stiff protest against running eight
cars on the line was made by Supts.
Chapman and Potter of the Connecti
cut Company and Attorney Baldwin;
tout was over-ruled by the coroner, who
also commented caustically upon the
elgnal box lights having recently been
washed. To guard against possible
tampering with switch lights today,
Btate Detectives Frank Virelli and
John Flynn, were stationed a. the ex
tremities of the signal system during
the time tests were made.
Three tests were made altogether,
the first beginning- at 11:30 with three
cars leaving' each end of the line. It
was not considered accurate because
the cars did not arrive at the coun
try club switch as they did the day
of the wreck.
The second test was made In a sim-
Hlax manner. The third test was maoe
by running- eight passenger cars, from
the Westport bridge to the Country
Club switch.
Result of the Tests.
The test resulted as follows; Light
Kurned on at Westport 12:30 p. m. The
Icars were away from the switch two
minutes and ten seconds, when the
light went completely out at the Coun
try Club switch. It remained Invisible
for a period of fifteen seconds and for
a period of one minute and 80 seconds.
It remained so dim that it was im
possible to distinguish it within three
feet of the signal box.
The official figures of the prime test
were: Cars leaving Westport 12.31:30.
After leaving switch 50 seconds,' light

Gathered about the signal box at the

Clarence Hall, for Coroner Phelan,
Frederick- W. Andrews, president of
the Norwalk Trolley Men's union, rep
resenting tbe men held under bonds
and R. C Schneider, stenographer-for
the Publip Utilities Commission.
At the conclusion': of the first test.
President Andrews in no lukewarm
r testified " to his dissatisfaction
with 4he way the cars came in. In
this be was supported . both by Cor
oner Fbelan and 'Engineer EH well be
cause the cars had not met at the
switch. The second test -was - then
made, three cars leaving each ' end.
The start was made from the West
port switch at 12:00:11 and at Poet's
Swamp at 12:10:00.
- The official record taken by En
gineer flEHwell is as follows: " Tbljr'y
seconds after cars started, Hgbt dim
mer; I min., considerably dimmer,
growing ' yellow; 1:10, dimmer and
fluctuating; 1:20, quite dim; 1:30, dim
mer still; 1:35, dimmer; 1:40, growing
brighter, . 1:45, brightening; 1:50,
brightening; 1:66, brighter; 2 min.,

2:30, lights growingf dimmer, two cars
close by; 3:10, second : and third cars
in sight one from Westport; 3:30, an
other ear in sight, lights growing
jbrighter; 3:35, quite dim; 3:50, fourth
car in sight; 5 mln., 30 see., all four
cars at switch. , ' i
The third test was then made be
cause President Andrews believed
that the other tests did not show the
actual load conditions as they oc
curred on the day of the accident
when more cars were between Nor
walk and the switch taking load from,
the power house. , Coroner Phelan ex
pressed his desire to see if it were
possible, -under the present signal sys
tem to run cars on the line while the
signal lights were out. '
Superintendents Chapman and Pot
ter, with Attorney 'Baldwin protested
vigorously upon the ground that the
test would be unfair to the company
and also it might tend to blow out
'fuses In the power house and delay
regular traffic on the lines as well as
keep the additional test cars held up.
Only fair to Accused Men.
Coroner Phelan overruled the ob
jection upon the grounds that! it
should be made in order to give the
men held under- suspicion for passing
the lighted signals a fair chance. '
It Is expected that following- the
tests and in his recommendations to
the Public Utility Commission, Engi
neer Elwell will recommend that ir
respective of the results of the pres
ent test the commission order auto
matic signals upon all trolleys lines
in- Connecticut, to be operated by
power separate and distinct from that
used for motive power in cars.
During -the course: -of the tests,'
when Coroner Phelan (noticed that the
glasses in the switch box at the Coun
try club had recently.1 been washed
he expressed himself as much dis
pleased. ''Both Suplu Potter and Chap
man denied that' this 1 Improvement
had been made under Instructions
from them.
Following the tests, President , An
drews 'Of Norwalk Local, Trolleymen's
Union, declared himself satisfied with
the tests. ' The railroad officials how
ever expressed their belief ' that the
test had been much too severe.
Coroner Phelan desired to. be In
formed what would be the practice
of a motorman when arriving at the
signal box and finding- the lights-so
dimmed that; he could not perceive it.
Neither Supts. Chapman or Potter
would, place themselves upon record,
but stated in their opinion the motor
man should wait until a car had ar
rivj. v ' ' i . ". ' - ' ' " ' ,

where the Borderers are stationed and
clamored for the soldiers to come out.
Finally the mob kicked down a. gate

New Carburretor By D. B.
Hill is Hailed By Gas
Engine Men . 7
. 1 -
A new invention, patented byf A
Bridgeport man and now being manu
factured here, after repeated tests
have shown it to be far superior t to
anything similar, is an automobile and
marine carburetor devised by Dwight
Bradford i Hill, of Beechwood 'avenue,
and made- by - the Bridgeport Brass
company. Its use in racing -boats and
automobiles increases the revolutions
of engines from'10'to 15 per cent, sav
ing much fuel and that, in laboratory
tests,- it has developed between 15 and
25 per cent more power with a saving
of gasoline of .from 15 to 30. per cent.
Experts declare that it will work a
revolution in the, motor and automo
bile world. -
The new device was in operation
upon - the "Humpty Dumpty," which
won the Bishop power Boat cup on
July 4, and the owner, A. F. Connors,
declared that his winning all prizes
was due entirely to the carburetor,
which not only brought his three cycle
Palmer engine from 610 to 655 revolu
ions per minute,' but made the excess
speed without additional gasoline. '.
Mr. Hill, the inventor, for the past?
six years connected with the -Bridgeport
Brass company, and before that
in the engineering department of the
-American & British Manufacturing
company, declares '., that laboratory
tests have disclosed greater efficiency
and mixing ' power, with easier' and
more perfect control, than any car
buretor In use. v .
The device is of the float-feed type,
with a center tube and needle con
striction in the venturi, adjustable for
dash control on automobiles or 'bridge
control on yachts. It works at any
angle to which it would toe subjected
in such structures. In addition to the
main nozzle, there' is a slow-speed noz
zle on the engine side of the throttle
which takes care of light loads or
"idling," so that, upon opening of the
throttle, the slow-speed jet goes out of
use and the main jet comes into effect.
The governing control is an air vent
which passes through the needle valve
which at low speed tends to help the
gasoline out of the nozzles and at high

rifles and all the ammunition and a
body of Nationalists volunteers then
started for Dublin with 1 one thousand
rifles but no ammunition. The police
sent to, : Jntercept the ' volunteers
cheered the gun runners and every
thing seemed -to be going smoothly
until the 'battalion of Scottish Bord
erers came upon the scene and de
manded that the arms be Surrendered.
When- the , Nationalists refused to
give up the rifles, the soldiers charged
with fixed bayonets,- wounding a num
ber of the volunteers. While the lead,
ers of the volunteers and' the regi
mental officers were parleying, the
rank and file of 'the volunteers scat
tered and got away with all except
nine of the rifles.
The news ; quickly reached Dublin
and a mob gathered to meet the sol
diers on their return. Volleys of sticks
were thrown arid 20 of the soldiers
were ordered to flre. '
The Lord Mayor of 'Dublin today de
manded, in the intents of the peace of
the sity,. that the battalion of the Scot
tish Borderers be removed. Movements
in the' barracks indicated that prepar
ations were; being made to send the
regiment else-tvhere. The gates of the

the "shocking occurrence in Dublin
yesterday," as John E. Redmond, the
Irish Nationalist leader put it Was
demanded immediately after - the
opening of the session' of the House
of Commons today.
Mr. Redmond was so dissatisfied
with v the .meagre reason given . him
that, he moVed the adjournment ol
the House in order to debate the mat
ter." . . , ' ' '.'" '', v '
Augustine BlrrelV -chief secretary
for Island,-threw the blame for yes
terday's conflict on the assistant po
lice commissioner who,'. he said, had
requisitioned the military entirely on
his ' own responsibility. The official
has been suspended while an inquiry
is being made, said Blrrell.
The Nationalists members shouted,
"He ought tovbe hanged." f .
The matter will be debated in the
House, tonight. . -
speeds tends to. retard it. - By a simple
control of the size of the air jet to
corresponding with the size and nature
of the motor " an absolutely uniform
mixture is ..guaranteed at an motor
speeds for the new device. ,
The fact that the gasoline is broken
up once by the air-vent and spread in
to he main air- passage, where it is
broken up a. second time, is claimed to
result in higher efficiency, dite to the
finer particles of gasoline that enter.
It also results in more power, because
of ' the 'cleaner burning- mixture and
consequently less trouble with carbon
deposits.
Following the practical , tests - to
which his carburetor has been put by
the Automatic . Machine company of
Stamford, Mr. Connors in ; the
"Humpty Dumpty" and other labora
tory and scientific tests, Mr. Hill, and
the Bridgeport Brass company are to
day being heartily congratulated upon
their successful invention which prom
ises to be one of the largest individual
products of the great, brass factory.

York' State Retail Grogers' association
will be held In (New York on August

to create the false Impression that tb
Servian j government is prepared in
great measure to comply with our c -mands.

"As 'a matter of fact, however, C -

dishonesty, which clearly lets it I

not seriously determined to pit s

Washington, July 27 -The gravity of
the European situation was r3-sctei.
in an official despatch from St. Petrx
burg today saying the Bmswlan minis
ter of war had said he conMred war
between Russia and 'Austria almoBt In-
evi table. , ,k !
His statement was made after th.
Russian 'ministry had issued an official '
declaration that Russia was gm'Jy
disturbed and could not remain ir f
ferent in the crisis that had arisen be
tween Servia and Austrta-Huneary.
The order for the complete mobl'li ac
tion of the Russian army was con f! tri
ed.
President Wilson said today in ep
swer to Inquiries whether the Unit"!
States would try to bring about r---In
Europe that he had not cons! i i
the subject but that the tradltlrn i
policy of the united States w& rot
to mix in European affairs. H Inti
mated In the present crisis the Ur.itt-1
States could do nothing. . . ... .
Austrian Troops Fired On,
vtenna, July 27 Reports from
Hungary state that Servian, troopn on
board a steamer on the Danube near
Temes-Kubin, have fired on some
Austrian troops. The Austrlans re
turned the, fire and an engagement r "
some importance ensued. It is con
sldered probable this is another ver
sion of yesterday's encounter.
A rumor current In Semlln yr r
day, said the first encounter between
Austrlans and Servians had occurre 1 ,
near Semlndria, 24 miles sou the.-. .
of Belgrade, where some vestsela con
veying' Austrian infantry were ni'l
to have , been fired upon from t
Servian side of the Danube n t, i t
have returned the fire.
