A call was sent for the ambulance, but that was already on the way to St. Franc.s's Hospital with the vic-t'm of an automobile accident only a Wock away at Citv Hall square, and the patrol wagon, in charge of Policeman Peter B. Gavin, was sent. While they were getting Mrs. Stockel ready to move.

Policeman Gavin found Twining in the crowd and arrested him, taking him along in the ambulance, and he also got the names of several witnesses, Mrs. Stockel was taken to tho Hartford Hospital. One of the witnesses was Emil Schmidt of No. 36 Bond street, who was on the trolley car that the woman got off just before she was struck. He told Policeman Gavin that the motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed, and said that if the rider had used any judgment when he saw the people getting off the car, the accident could have been avoided.

He was highly indignant. Other witnesses were more charitable with Twining, and said he was not traveling at an excessive speed and that, if Mrs. Stockel had stood still she would not have "COME OS ALONG, COME OVER HERE," When good fellows get together here's the general verdict passed on our ready-to-wear garments: "THE FINEST IN FABRIC, FIT AND FINISH."

TSey will to draw her money from the Windsor isfactory innovations of the 1912 Cadillac was the Delco system of automatic electric electric lighting and ignition. For the 1913 models the Cadillac experts offer a vastly simplified and improved Delco equipment developed from their experience with the old system on 12,000 1912 cars. Among the simplifications are the successful adoption-of the single instead of double voltage system, thereby eliminating the controlling switch, the meter, much wiring and many parts.

The voltage is regulated and the batteries charged automotically, the intention being to reduce to an absolute minimum the attention required on the part of the user. The switches for starting, lighting and Ignition, the latter equipped with a Yale lock, are more conveniently located. The electrical equipment as used on the Cadillac includes an automatic spark advance that is unique and the first to be thoroughly practical and efficient, thus relieving the driver of the necessity for constant attention. In addition to these features there is also the Delco distributor ignition Locks Savings Bank, which had been wrecked by an unfaithful official long before the great steamship took her to her grava.

Miss Wilburn, in private life Adele Went-worth, was named as the beneficiary in the policy, but owing to the fact that on Kruger's death his wife. Miss Clara Palmer, also an actress, claimed the benefit from the policy, the company has refused to pay the claim. In taking out the policy Kruger described Miss Wilburn as his fiancee. Kruger played Rockefeller in the "Follies," and was raised Into the flies on a wire when the angel's wings were attached to him.

Waterman and several trolleymen picked him up and laid him on the lawn in front of City Hall, and the ambulance was called and he was carried to St. Francis's Hospital. He did not regain consciousness until after he. got there, and an examination failed to reveal any serious injury. He was kept at the hospital last night, but will probably be able to leave in a day or two.

After the accident, Mr. Allard went to the police station and, after Detective Sergeant Weltner had heard the story, he was charged with violation of the automobile laws, and will appear In court this morning. Witnesses told the police that the automobile was running about eight or ten miles an hour, and that it was simply a case of where each failed to see the other in time.

High-Powered Engine The Cadillac 1913 engine wilt have a-long stroke, 54 inches, with a 4 inch bore, materially increasing the power of an engine that has always occupied a high place for efficiency. This amplification of power is especially observable at speeds from 12 to 35 miles an hour, dynamometer tests registering an increase of from 18 to 25 per cent. The camshaft and generator shaft are driven by silent chains; valves are enclosed.

The engine generates 40-50 horsepower. jThe silent chain-driven camshaft, enclosed valves and various refinements of workmanship produce an engine of unusual quietness.

The longer wheelbase will add to the easy riding qualities of the car.

The Cadillac company manufactures nearly every part of its cars, and as the plant is exceptionally complete and the methods have always been noted for their thoroughness and painstaking nature, the new models will have the advantage of all the motor car virtues and values which these conditions provide. Cadillac Standards. In preparing for the season of 1913 the management has had in mind the fact that it had already reached a point where the basis of price comparison had nearly vanished. They now declare that they are approaching the new season in the belief that the price comparison must really be eliminated. Bearing in mind Cadillac standards and past achievements, some of the reasons for this confidence may be found in the details and specifications of the new models.

It will be observed, that there are no radical changes in policy. The Cadillac executives have continued th- line of progress that has already been under way.
