FAST AUTO DRIVING HIS DEATH
DR.. Charles A. Tinker Dies from Dis
ease Caused by Earring of Car.

New York. July 14.-After a brief
illness Dr. Charles A. Tinker, of 124
West 121st street, died yesterday in
the Howell house, in Westhampton,
L. I. The attending physicians dag
nosed his case as chronic nephr1tls,
which it was said had been brought on
by excessive riding in fast going auto
mobiles From what could be learned
in his house last night DR.. Tinker was
passionately fond of automobiling.
Last year he decided his son Ar
thur. u years old, should learn to
drive an auto. He bought a fine ma
chine for the boy and taught him to
run it. The license was made out in
the boys name, and 1t pleased the
physician greatly when his son became
competent to run the auto through
the busy thoroughfares of the city. In
the summer DIR. Tinker spent most Of
his time in Westhampton, and the boy
used to come down in an auto and
take his father around. Thus the doc
tor spent most of his waking hours
in the machine and got practically no
exercise.
The physicians love Of automobiling
began about seven years ago, and he
was always an enthusiastic visitor at
automobile exhibitions. AS soon as
he got a machine Of his own he fell
into the habit of taking long rides at
night It is hardly an exaggeration
to say that whenever he was not sit
ting in his Office he was riding in an
automobile. The last trip ne took was
only a few days ago. when he went to
Westhampton as usual.
In the auto were his son. who drove
It, and Mrs. Fanny Porter. of 2 East
127th street. It was inferred from
what the attending physicians said
that lack of exercise was not alone
responsible for nephritis; that the
disease was aggravated by the frequent
riding in a machine that throbbed and
started and stopped with sudden
Jerks. DR.. Tinker was 81 years old.
