FRANK CROKER's
INJURIES FATAL
AUTOM0BILIST DIES AS RE-
SUIT OF ACCIDENT
Estimated That He Was Driving His
Machine at Rate of Ninety
Miles an Hour When
Thrown Out
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ORMOND. Fla, Jan. 22.-Frank H.
Croker who was thrown from his
automobile yesterday, died shortly
after o'clock this morning. 1t was
evidently from the effects of the tre-
mendous shock that he died. When
he was placed in position for examin-
alton by the surgeons, he asked the
nature of his injuries He was told
that they consisted of a sprained knee
and elbow. He then asked about his
mechanic, Rolf, and was told that he
was more seriously hurt. The young
man was then put under the influence
of ether by the surgeons and the
broken and splintered bones in the
leg and arm were set, his broken ribs
were bandaged and the bad scalp
wound was dressed.
After the operation the patient
seemed to be resting well, but in a
he became entirely unconscious and
remained so until death.
Mrs. Richard Croker, mother of the
unfortunate young man, and his sister
arrived from Jacksonville today.
Experts estimate that young Croker
was driving his machine at a speed of
mile in forty seconds. They say that
no machine ever built could stand the
strain of a sharp turn while going at
that speed.
Mr.. Stanley, on the motor cycle,
was directly in the course of the racer,
and to Mr.. Croker it must have ap-
peared almost certain death to attempt
to make the sharp turn to get out of
the way of the small machine ahead of
him.
Mr.. Croker's mechanic, Rolf, was
instantly killed. One side of his head
was. crushed. Mr.. Stanley was taken
to st. Augustine this morning, where
he will receive further attention at
the railway hospital.
The fatal accident, coming almost at
the opening of the annual races, has
cast gloom over the racers gathered
here, and those who drive their own
machines in the races will insist upon
the adoption and enforcement of rigid
rules TO insure them against every ac-
cident.

Bicycle Racing.


 see that Jack Prince, who built the bicycle race track in Birmingham and then jumped the game, so to speak, is pack in Atlanta said a man who was Interested in racing. "The track would nave made good if Prince had stayed Tn Birmingham and managed 1t, but he had streak of bad luck with rainy nights and he jumped out and left town.
 Since he left here Prince has been in England and in the north. In Phila- delphia and other cities he pulled off some six-day races and did fairly well, and now he has appeared again in Atlanta, where he has a track
 T believe that he would make sue cess of racing in Birmingham if he would only go at it right and stick to 1t. He has Walthonr, MeClean, Munroe, Cald- well, Moran, Dorian, Root and others, any of whom were in the six-day race in New York when Walthour and several others quit the track and were outlawed by the cycling association.

Continuance of Cases.

When the county goes to the ex- pense of procuring and paying jury, it is unreasonable to ask for a con tinuance in criminal case unless the reason be unavoidable and controlling. The truth is, appeals for delays in criminal cases are chiefly based on the convenience of lawyers or the prisoner, and Judge Dan A. Greene will serve the public well if he will break up the practice.
 The custom of asking for a eontinu- ance in criminal case is absolutely unjust to the taxpayers, and hurtful to all involved. criminal case should be tried when first called, unless in deed the attendance of necessary wit. nesses cannot be secured. It is for tunate that Judge Greene has taken hold of the evil, for he assuredly will find a remedy for the unfortunate and indefensible custom.

MRS. .eouLD's PARTIES POPULAR.
UItra-FashionabIes Accord Palm to
 Georgian Court Week-Ends.
From Ainslee.s Magazine.

From Ainslee's Magazine.
 Probably the most famous weekend parties in ultra-fashonable life are those of Georgian court, Lakewood, N. J.. where live the George Goulds.
 The guests have varied accomplish ments, and the hostess offers display of these in her schedule of entertaining She has no idea of inviting stupid or un- interesting people for over Sunday. She has everything to offer that money and brains can suggest, and her plan is to offer these to those who can respond best.
 Mrs. Gould arranges for each guest to follow out his or her especial fad or pastime The music rooms for the music mad, the magnificent stables for the riders. the multitude of traps for the driv- CTS, the swimming pool billiard room bowling room, squash and tennis courts for the athletic man or woman and the golf links for the one who Is crazy on the subject of making holes in the shortest time The motto of Georgian court is each guest to his own desires. Each guest has her own freedom, and the hos tess hers.
 The great central court of the house. with it's magnificent tapestries thrown over the balusters, has the freedom and brilliancy of hotel lounge. Here the guests gather for afternoon tea, for talk and cards after dinner, and here the hostess greets them after breakfast
 There is a theater arranged, where charming plays are given, in which most of her guests are adopts. Here the most notable amateur dancers give dances that the public would pay any price to see, and actresses like Miss Barrymore and Mrs Gould take leading parts in plays that are called "amateurs." but would rank high in profession merit.
 The men have house of their own on the Gould estate, which is the newest idea of the weekend parties. This house has its swimming pool, It's barber, it's exercise machines and the rooms are arranged with baths and bells that will ring up any body. from a mixer of drinks to caddy. In this house the men rule supreme. They sleep there, because they prefer it.. They may play cards as late as they wish and make as much noise as they please. It is the ideal way of entertain ing men.
 One of the best reasons for the week end party developing into an epidemic in fashionable American society is the fas- cnating nature of the entertainment pro- vided.

ALWAYS PRESENT.

From the Washington Post.
 Representative James Thomas Hefiin of Alabama, the young Democrat of sudden notoriety in the last campaign for some fiery utteranees about President Roose- velt, has become the target of Democratic colleagues in the House. Hefiin is by no means the terrible man one might think from his aggressive utteranees. He is very eager to learn the complicated rules of the House and to gain knowledge of the methods by which business is transacted.
 So jealous is he to thia end that ever since Congress assembled he has re- mained constantly in the hall. If the House meets. at II o'clock, Helin is there. If it stays till or o'clock de- livering eulogies or passing pension bills, it simply can't lose Hehin. He answers every roll call; he even manages to, be present on every rising vote. He snatches bite of lunch by hastily descending to the restaurant while the clerk is reading some long bill.
 Hefiins seat Is in a far corner of the hall and his Democratic colleagues poke fun at him for being the best Republi- can quorum maker that ever came to Congress. They say that when Speaker not take the trouble to look into Hehin's corner. He simply counts one. knowing that Hehin is Johnny on the spot.

IhlrtY-flye Feet on the Bar.

The rivers and harbors bill has been reported to the Senate, and the belief is it is booked to go through. If it does, 1t will give the Open Warrior a big boost. # will almost bring it with in sight.
 Representative Underwood does not intend the Open Warrior shall have any impediments, for he has induced Senator Pettus to offer an amendment that looks to channel thirty-fiye feet deep in the outer bar of Mobile bay, and to plenty of anchorage in the bay of a like depth.
 This district will soon take lively interest in that outer bar and in the entire Mobile bay, for it is our gate way to the sea. Few appreciate that gateway at present, but the time will come when it will be fully appreciated, and the untiring labor in it's behalf by Representative Underwood and Sen ator Pettus will then be understood and extolled. They are working for what is to be, for what cannot be pres ently accomplished.

Gorky and the Bureaucrats.

The treatment of Maxim Gorky, the novelist, is a fair illustration of the methods of the bureaucrats and the autocracy in general. He was arrested without public charges; he is allowed no public trial-no trial at all; he is adjudged guilty by the bureaucracy, and is to be deported. His place of exile has not been determined, and 1t is not known whether he will be per mitted to take his wife and children with him.
 This is autocracy in full bloom, and it is the sort of rule that Russia is to- day getting ready to overthrow. It is a mistake to say that Russia is becom- ing pacifed. The discontent is widen ing constantly, and while it is widen ing the people of Russia are being educated. Their education has been sadly neglected, but they are rapidly learning the value of organization. and their power when united.
 The sending of M. Gorky into exile will not in the least impair the course of public education. His short stories will be read in every part of the em- pire, and his pen will be busy wher- ever he Is sent. General Trepoff caused the rearrest of NJ. Gorky. whom he pronounces a frebrand. Trepoff is the right hand of autocracy and the bureaucrats, and what he does stands approved by the entire outfit of self imposed rulers. M. Gorky's exile will not be of long continuance, for the downfall of autocracy is as certain as any event in tie future can well be said to be.

DIR. THoMpsoNs HOME TRUST.

From the New York World.
 According to pr. Robert Ellis Thomp- son, a Philadelphia scientist, woman is unftted for general housework. Nature never intended her to do cooking, which is "a branch of chemistry, or houseelean- ing, which requires expert mechanical knowledge. "Her natural function is that of a homebuilder," where she will elevate herself, solve all the vexing problems in our home life. save money for the men and prolong their lives.
 In the ideal home which the doctor con- structs out of ink and paper there will be no kitchen. Meals will be served hot from centralized cooking establishment, The family will have nothing to do but eat and digest labor which pure science shirlks. Houses will be swept mopped and scrubbed by the machinery of a do- mestic syndicate. Experts will do every thing, even collect the bills automatically. There will be no Monday washdays and no Thursdays off for maids, for the do- nestle trust will look after all cooking and laundering.
 A dull, drugery world may taught at Dr. Thompsons idea. But by planning and by dreaming progress is made, even if not quite all the plans and dreams come true

RUSSIAN JUSTICE.

Warsaw Letter to London Mail
 I heard of a young workman who had just come from prison. l found him in his house. At first he would not an- swer the door, for he was too cowed messenger The lads face was cut right down from skull to jaw with one tre- mendous blow of whipl His body was scared horribly. Gradually I won his confidence and he told me what had happened.
 You know that I am a mechanic he said. 'T took no part in the strike, but remained at home On Monday night went out to buy bread. The Jew who keeps the shop asked me five times as much as usual, and l told him it was sheer robbery. A policeman told me to go away. paid for the bread and told the policeman that I was not afraid of him, for the police well knew me to be a quiet respectable man.
 "Then the policeman called sergeant and arrested me. They bound my hands together and led me along, soldiers beat ing me as we passed. When we got to the station I tried to explain, but they threw me down and beat me very, very badly with a nagaika Ca leather whip with a piece of lead at the end). They tore my cheek open and struck me all over the face and body, and said that 1 was a thief and a scoundrel. Then they searched me and took everything away even my handkerchief and I was bun died into cell about twelve feet by ten, where there were twenty-one other men. All the other prisoners had been beaten too. I tried to stop the bleeding of my cuts by tearing my shirt and wrapping it round the wounds made by the whip.
 Next morning l told a warden that if he would take a message to my sister she would pay him well. My sister came and saw the superintendent. He was very grave. and told her that be- cause of what the sergeant had said was to be sent for six months to prison. He advised her to see the sergeant, and she did, and paid him ten rubles. Then the sergeant said it was all a mistake and I was released"

The Merger.

While l nave no inside information about the consolidation project, I have thought it safe bet that the principal iron companies of this district would be consolidated. said prominent mer- chant.
 q find many business men who depre- cate the proposed merger, but l find oth- CTS who take a cheerful view of the mat ter. There is one aspect that may not be cheering. Some worthy and popular of ficials may lose their positions if the merger goes through, and this would be generally regretted. But where one or two unfavorable things might happen, it does not take any great amount of imag- nation to see many advantages that would accrue to Birmingham.
 Production would certainly be in- creased The railroads seem to be close ly associated with the deal and the rail- road people would not favor anything that would tend to decrease tonnage. h. creased tonnage is what they are after all the while. This then should offset the pessimistic talk regarding a probable shut down of some oe the plants. The merger would mean that millions of new capi- tai would be spent in developing the Birmingham district. Instead of plants being shut down, new ones and many ot them, would be built. The merger scheme may fall through. but l hope not"

Mardi Gras.

Many people who desire to visit New Orleans during Mardi Gras week are de- tered on account of imaginary exorbi- tant rates charged by hotels and board ing houses," said a man fond of travel. But it is mistake to think that persons of limited means cannot take the trip on comparatively small outlay Of course, those who can afford high living find plenty of ways to spend money in New Orleans, but I had friend who spent Mardi Gras day in the Crescent City three or four years ago and all it cost him was the price of his railroad ticket plus $5. He paid s1.5O for one nights lodging and $2 for four meals at restaurants. He had s1.50 left for in- cidentals.
 ''The railroads always make cheap rates and a man hereabouts can spend two days in New Orleans on total outlay of $20 and live like a gentleman"

 As to when to wear the hat: Outdoors and in public conveyancos, such as cars and elevators, in hotels or commercial buildings. As to when not to wear it: In the interior of any place, save the ele- Vators and corridors, that have a resi- dential aspect, such as those apartments which in actuality are a group of pri- vate houses. As to how to wear 1t rectly: It is only needful to observe men of sweldom and men of affairs on prom enade. in day attire or around the theatre lobbies in evening dress. and the hat will be noted as tilted up ol the fore head. giving suggestion of being worn on the back of the head.

A FEW EXAMPLES,

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 Let us see: Washington was 43 when he took command of the army of the revolution, and 64 when he penned his farewell address. Lincoln was AS when he met Stephen A. Douglas in that famous series of debates, and 54 when he issued the emancipation proclamation. Milton was 57 when he completed "Paridise Lost; Ericsson 54 when he built the Monitor and revolutionized naval warfare; Jenner 49 when he announced the discov- cry of vaccination; Pasteur between 50 and 55 when he made the investigations which game him the title of "the founder of bacteriology." These are a few in- stances, hastily gathered at random, showing the purely sensational character of Dr. Osler's dicta. It is to be hoped, for the sake of the rising medics of Oxford. that he is less careless in his announcements regarding medical prac- tices than he shows himself regarding matters of history.

Heroes at the Mines.

''I went out to the Virginia mines last Wednesday like a number of others i'm pelled by curiosity" said a business man yesterday, "and I was struck with one thing especially.
 Around the mouth of the slope stood half a dozen men with weary, worn faces. l naturally asked wio they were and a miner called their names and told me that some of that little group of men had been working constantly since Mon day afternoon at o'clock with little or no foood and no sleep. All during that time they had been straining every mus cle and working with might and main to get fresh air to those below hoping to save some of them, and part of the time they had been below the earth breathing that foul after-damp' which is very weakening, still those fellows worked on, sustained by mere will power It was a magnificent sight to see the manly way in which they had sprung to the rescue. Heroism on the impulse gains much applause and is striking but it is nothing to compare with the way those fellows went down in the mine and worked there .hour after hour with out food, sleep and with scarce enough fresh air.
