PAGE TWENTY THE DAILY HOME NEWS. NEW BRUNSICK, TWO MEN KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK P. R. R. Express Derailed Near Pittsburgh; No Passengers Aboard PITTSBURGH, Sept. 27 (AP)-- The locomotive and four cars of a 16-car Pennsylvania Railroad express train bound from New York to Pittsburgh leaped the tracks and overturned at a switch near Trafford today, killing the locomotive engineer and fireman. The railroad identified the dead as F. F. Smith, of South Greensburg, Pa; the engineer, and William S. McConnell of Pittsburgh, the fireman. Four other cars were derailed but remained upright. Traffic on west-bound tracks was blocked by the wreckage and seven trains were delayed at the scene, 17 miles east of Pittsburgh. The train carried no passengers. LONG RANGE GUNS DUEL ACROSS DOVER STRAITS LONDON, Sept. 27 (AP)--British long-range guns replied today to a bombardment of the Dover area by German guns on the French coast and an artillery duel was fought across the Strait of Dover. The German shells rocked the Dover area, with the shells falling at the rate of two every two minutes. About four salvos were fired. _____ Private bankers first were heard of in Babylon during the time of Nebuchanednezzar, in 600 B. C. Ramon Novarro's real name was Ramon Gil Samoniegos until a Los Angeles court authorized him to change it. [[ad]] [[ad]] [[ad]] [[ad]] [[ad]] Temperature Down to Freezing Point at 6 A. M. Today Yes, it is really cold. A glance at the temperature recording overnight will assure anyone that may be in doubt. It was really freezing early this morning as the thermometer got down to 32 at 6 o'clock and remained there for more than an hour. The needle started an upward climb shortly thereafter and by 11 o'clock was up to 61. Cheer up, folks. The weatherman promises fair and warmer weather tomorrow. OLIPHANT IRKED BY LACK OF CASES Raps Lawyers for Not Being Prepared; Three Out Of 20 Ready The elawyers were charged directly with responsibility for speeding up the calendar of cases today by Circuit Court Judge A. Dayton Oliphant. Visibly irked by the lack of cases ready when called this morning, Judge Oliphant declared "This is ridiculous" when but three cases were ready out of 20 called. "When I leave Middlesex county all the lawyers will holler they didn't have a chance to have their cases heard. Here there are only three cases out of 20 ready. It's all right with me if the lawyers don't want to work but I wonder what will happen to their clients." Later when he failed to receive any further cases for next week, and having scheduled six for October 18, Judge Oliphant said he would "sit until November 11 if there is any work for me to do." The circuit court judge has been attempting to speed up the calendar this term by having a weekly call of cases and adhering strictly to court regulations. Three of the cases declared ready were listed for Monday and another was added near the conclusion of the call. LINDHARDT DIVORCE PETITION IS DENIED ELIZABETH, Sept. 27--Mrs. Mildred Lindhardt, 109 Jean Terrace, Union township, a Hillside High School teacher, was denied a divorce by Advisory Master Dougal Herr from her husband, Parker Lindhardt, of 42-A Plainfield avenue, Metuchen, at a hearing held here yesterday.

Two of her original captors are seen standing on the stomach which gives some idea of the enormous size of the specimen, which will be exhibited here Sunday on a specially built railroad car that will be parked on the tracks by Pennsylvania Railroad freight house on Baldwin street. The exhibit will be open from noon until 10 p. m. Plane Paragraphs Flying Trip to Canada Shows No Outward Sign of Anxiety Over Affairs in Europe; Speed Defense Program By LARRY WOODRUFF It was dark night when we stepped from a Canadian Colonial Airways plane at St. Hubert Airport near Montreal last week and our first glimpse of a country at war was an armed guard directing passengers to the immigration office. Clearing customs, we were politely asked if we'd be interested in "joining up with [[?]] Canada. We mumbled something about an impending U. S. draft and wandered toward the airport waiting room were huge signs warned "Refrain from discussing military subjects." We were amazed by the number of uniforms in Montreal--we'd expected them, but not in such quantity. Although passengers are confined to a small area at St. Hubert, we had no difficulty on the daylight visit to observe American-made Lockheed Hudson-type bombers on the line, in addition to many Fleet and Moth trainers. Also being used by the Royal Canadian Air Force are Avro Anson monoplanes, now being manufactured in Canada instead of being shipped from Great Britain for training purposes. If Canada is unduly worried about affairs in Europe its people do not show it outwardly. Life in Montreal goes on in much its usual manner, except "There Will Always Be an England" has replaced other numbers as the No. 1 song hit. Store windows display many slogans, with "Kill the Fifth Column" and "Chins Up, There Will Always Be an England" far in the lead in popularity. While no figures were offered, it is apparent that a large percentage of the youth being trained in Canada is allotted to the Royal Air Force. This can be seen in the high percentage of R. A. F. uniforms seen on the streets. American pilots flying the commercial airways into Canada have been asked to sign oaths of secrecy, promising to reveal nothing of a military nature seen in Canada. Several prison camps have been set up in Canada. We saw one, in the middle of the St. Lawrence. ____ The proposed Rutgers-sponsored free air training plans has still not been put into operation. The students seem not too interested, probably because the Civil Aeronautics Administration is asking that those given the training will be asked to sign pledges to offer their services in case of a national emergency. At any rate, the quota of 40 has not been filled as yet. Personally, we'd prefer an airplane to a trench. ________ Mathias E. Gil, former instructor for the Ki-Wi Flying Club at Hadley, has been "checked out" at the Parks Air College in East St. Louis and is now undergoing training in preparation for his new position as instructor there. _____ Edmund Chevalier of Sayreville, who is building an airport there, is having his troubles. He has learned that a portion of the land he proposes to use is extremely marshy. He's continuing his efforts, however. _______ MRS. JOSEPH J. YATES ------ Mrs. Margaret F. Terrill Yates, wife of Joseph J. Yates, 130 De Lacy avenue, North Plainfield, died this morning at her home. The funeral will be held from the A.M. Runyon and Son Home for Service, 900 Park avenue, Plainfield, Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Interment will be in Hillside cemetery, Plainfield. WAR RELIEF STATION BLAZE INVESTIGATED NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 27 [[AP]] - Reports of an explosion and oil traces prompted an investigation today of a blaze which heavily damaged the headquarters of the British War Relief Society last night. A spectator said a explosion shattered several panes of glass in the front part of the house and Fire Chief John W. Evans asserted there was "an unmistakable odor of oil" at the scene. No estimate of damage was given but officials said thousand dollars worth of such relief supplies as shoes and clothing were stored in the building. No one was in the house at the time of the fire. _____ BARTON APPROVED AS SENATE NOMINEE _____ WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Sept. 27 (AP)--Rep. Bruce Barton, bearing the approval of Wendell L. Willkie, will be New York's Republican candidate for United States senator in the November election. On the eve of the Republican state convention, party leaders agreed upon Barton yesterday after word came from Willkie's campaign party that the presidential candidate was impressed with Barton's strength as a running mate in New York. Senator James M. Mead of Buffalo is slated for renomination by the Democratic convention _____ TRUCK-TRAIN CRASH KILLS TWO DAIRYMEN ______ GLASSBORO, Sept. 27. (AP)--Two men were killed today in the collision of their milk truck and an express at a Glassboro crossing. They were Roy C. Leddon, 38, owner of the truck and operator of a dairy, and his helper, John Senior, 19, both of Glassboro. The train was en route from Bridgeton to Camden. The locomotive was turned over by the collision, but the engineer, S. E. Scott, of Westville, escaped injury. Leddon was killed instantly. Senior died in an ambulance en route to the Underwood Hospital. [[ad]] [[ad]] WALLA[[cut off]] WITH [[cut off]] Says No [[cut off]] Will R[[cut off]] Cours [[cut off]] ENID, Ok [[cut off]] Henry A.
