occurred. They were in Clark's Ca
dillac touring car speeding at rapid
rate along the road around the south
end of the lake when at point near
ly in front of the Fletcher cottage the
steering gear of the machine broke.
Before the power could be shut off the
machine had left the road and was
crashing through the brush toward
the lake. After going a short distance

and tipped halfway over, throwing
all the occupants out.
Clark and Coe were the most Sc
riously injured. both being severely
cut and bruised about the head and
unconscious. Several cot
tagers arrived on the scene shortly
after the accident and the injured au-
toists were taken to Pine Grove
Springs on mattresses laid in

day and it is thought viii recover in

The machine was badly damaged,

Fielding Says There Is No Corruption
in Canadian Elections.

Naples, December 25.-W. s. Fielding,
finance minister in the Canadian parlia-
rent, arrived here on board the ship
Cretic at o'clock this afternoon. In
terviewed by the Associated Press con-
corning the petitions filed in the militia
and defense, and eight other leading lib
eral members of parliament from Nova
Scotia, asking that their seats in parlia-
ment be declared vacant on the ground
of alleged bribery committed by agents
on their behalf in the general election of
November g. Mr.. Fielding said the re-
ports of corruption In the election were
absolutely without foundation, and that
was everything perfectly regular In con-
nection with the elections which occurred
three days prior to his departure. There
always were some persons among the op-
position he said, who spread reports of
corrution, and other similar reports. Mr.
Fielding outlined the main issues on
which the election hinged; first, the prop
osition to build a new trans-continental
line, and second the fiscal question.
Sir William Lauriers first fiscal policy
he said, was supported by the people,
and meant moderate progress in the di-
rection of free trade while the policy of
the opposition favored a higher protec-
tive tariff

BIBLE AS WRAPPING PAPER.
How Scriptures Were Introduced Into
an Armenian Village.

From Everybod's Magazine.
The work of sowing the Bile through
out the Turkish Empire from Constants
nople to Ragdad is beset with peculiar
difficulties. There is, it seems, a most
ridiculous censorship of The Bible 1t Is
the "seditious'' word Macedonia" occur
ring in the New Testament should excite
suspicion and mistrust at the Sublime
Porte!
In Armenia, too-to give this group of
Turkish vilayets its common name-the
distribution of Bibles is especially diff
cult And yet that 1t Is eagerly read by
the natives when it falls into their hands
may be gathered from this story told by
one of the Bible-men. A copy of the
Word of God was given to a patient in
the American Hospital sind by his car
ried to his home in a village. Here an
Armenian priest took 1t from the man.,
and having torn 1t to pieces threw 1t into
the street. A grocer, seeing it lying there.
picked 1t up and took it to ship, where
he began to use 1t as wrapping-paper.
So for a time olives, cheese candles, and
other things sent forth from that store
were wrapped in pages upon which were
printed the "Words of Life" In this way
one Bible was scattered about through
that village and was read by many whose
interest was so far aroused that they be-
gan asking for more of the same book.
The result was that when the colporteur
next came round, over one hundred Bibles
or portions of the Bibles were sold in
that village.

TWO POLICEMEN ARE FATALLY
WOUNDED IN MELEE.

New York, December 25.-Two police
and several negroes locked up, is the re-
suit of a battle that took place early
today in North Plainfield, n. j., between
firemen, policemen and citizens on one
side, and gang of negroes on the other.
Marshal Joseph Flaek and Special Police
man William Kline are dying in Mullen
burg hospital the former with a deep
knife thrust below the right shoulder.
and the latter with razor cuts over his
entire body, sixty stitches having been
required to close the wound. A third
policeman, Walter o. Smalley, is at his
home, his face battered and bruised. Tie
prisoners are Samuel Hunt Walter Tens,
Albert Tunstal1 and Joseph Henderson,
all residents of Plainfleld
The negroes had been standing on street
corners yelling merry Christmas" at
every one who passed, and demanding
money to buy drinks. The policemen at
tempted to arrest the gang and were
knocked down and beaten. They did not
shoot for fear of hitting onlookers. The
firemen and citizens Joined in the battle,
which was waged nearly half an hour
When the negroes were about to be
taken to Jail there were cries from the
crowd of bring q rope" and lynch
them" Policemen warned the hot heads
to keep away, but members of the crowd
got close enough to stri Ike the negroes.
A crowd hung about the Jail for hours
and all through the day in both Plainfie
and North Plainheld there were frequent
tits between white men and negroes.

MOROCCO OFFERS
A FINE OPPORTUNITY
FORMER VICE CONSUL GENERAL
LANoERMAN SAYS SULTAN AND
HIS SUBJECTS ARE ANXIOUS TO
TRADE WITH AMERICA.

New York, December 26.--W. s. LANCER
man, former United States vice consul
general at Tangler, Morocco, is in New
York, on his way to report to the sultan
of Morocco whose personal representa-
tive he was at tho ST. Louis exposition.
Speaking tonight of Morocco and its de-
sire for American trade, Mr. Langerman
Baid
Never before was such an opportunity
offered to American Industries to Sc
cure a foothold in Morocco. It seems
strange but 1t ia fact nevertheless, that
in this country where about 100000
people live, there Is but one big American
industry,-and that is the Standard OIL
company
1.-THE sultan. and in fact all his sub
1ects, want to trade with Americans.
They realize that the American people in
business will treat them fairly. and will
not try to seize the country. I know
personally that the sultan is one Of the
most ardent admirers of President Roose-
welt. 1t Is impossible for the French
troops to make any progress in Morocco,
especially at this time of the year II
is now the rainy season. 1t Is impossible
for them to transport troops as there
are no highways. Ferrying is their most
modern method of crossing rivers. There
is not a telegraph or telephone line or
railway In the country.
Mr.. Langerman recently discussed the
Moroccon situation with President Roose-
| welt, but he refused to say whether he
visited the President on any particular
mission.
