EXPRESS TRAIN AND AUTO COLLIDE.


New York (Specia) The road cross
ing at the railroad depot in Westbury,
Long Island, was the scene of fright
full accident, when oo-horsepower auto
belonging to Robert J. Collier dashed
into the Fort Jefferson express of the
Long Island Railroad. In the automo-
bile were Cearge Bishop, the Chauffeur,
and Fred Whitehead, a valet of Mr..
Collier. The two men were dragged ufl-
der the train and instantly killed. Their
bodies were horribly mangled. The big
auto was smashed into bits, and that
the train, which was running at the rate
of 90 miles an hour, was not derailed
is considered remarkable.
The two men were speeding in the
machine to the Meadowbrook Club with
the polo trappings of Mr.. Collier. A
practice was scheduled, and Mr. Collier
had left his country place on the Whit
ney estate. at Wheatley Hills, and had
gone on ahead to the polo field with his
ponies and grooms. The men were de
layed in getting started, and the driver
sent the machine ahead at great speed,
and it shot through the village of West
bury
When near the depot Henri Wanzer,
butcher, who had heard the approach
ing train, called out to the pair but he
was not heard Wanzer says he pulled
out his handkerchief and waved it at
the men in the machine, but that they
evidently thought he was waving a greet
ing, for the valet smiled and waved his
hand in reply.
The automobile struck the tracks as
the express train Numbered by The
low front of the car ran right under the
second coach Of the train. There was
terrific roar and crash as the big ma
chine was dragged under the train anc
ripped along the tracks pinned in before
the rear trucks The machine was tori
into fragments and the two occupant;
were dragged under the train for dis
tarce OF 500 yards.
For sometime after the accident Mr.
Collier and the other polo players at th'
Meadowbrook Club grounds were ignor
ant of what had happened When III,
rews OF the accident reached the clul

were not held by the authorities, as
was apparent they were not to blame.
