AUTOMOBILE CRUSHED
 BETWEEN TROLLEY CARS
MACHINE GROUND TO PIECES WHILE OCCUPANTS HAVE
 MARVELLOUS ESCAPE

Car Belonged to John H. Springer
 Lesse of Grand Opera House, New
 York-GasoIine Catches Fire--Fire
 Alarm Turned in and Excited Crowd
 Filled street-POllceman Nearly De-
 capitated by Starting of Car.
 New York Sept. 19-Caught between two street cars at Broadway and Slst street tonight. an automobile touring car owned by John H. Springer lessee of the Grand Opera House, and occu- pied by himself and family, was ground to pieces while the occupants marvel ously escaped without serious injury. MT. Springer suffered most, being pain fully bruised, while Mrs. Springer a son, John. Jr., and daughter, Gladys, and the chauffeur, though they received some bruises, suffered more from shock.
 MT. Springer was driving his car across the tracks when it was struck by northbound car and thrown against a southbound car which was passing; In a moment the machine doubled up and its occupants found themselves on top of the wreckage and pinned be- tween the cars which had been brought to an abrupt stop. Gasoline from the broken tank of the machine caught ire and witnesses of the accident, who be- lieved the Springers were about to be crushed to death, made frantic efforts to release them. Once free of the wreckage they were tumbled Into an ambulance and hurried to a hospital before they could persuade themselves or their rescuers that they were not fatally injured. Mir. Springer was cut about the face and head. Mrs. Springer and her daughter fainted after the ac- cident, but were promptly restored to consciousness as was the chauffeur, who was immediately stunned The son, John, was little harmed. The ma chine was gathered up in bits.
 A splinter of the tonneau tore hole in the window in one of the cars and painfully injured woman passenger. The latter was treated by an ambul- ance surgeon and later was able to go home The accident and the fire that followed filled the street with an ex- cited crowd that for a time the police could not restrain. Someone turned in a fire alarm and during the excitement the cry was raised that baby had been buried under the wreck. One of the police reserves who had been sum- moned promptly dropped on his knees and had crawled under one of the cars when its excited motorman started It. nearly severing the head of the officer position just as the wheels passed him. Then the crowd vented its fury on the frightened motorman until dispersed by the police.

 The first gun of the prohibition party campaign In the state of Connecticut was fired last night at the town hall in West Haven, when a largely at- tended meeting of the delegates and public was addressed by w. c Call derwood of Minnesota, who is an ardent supporter and advocate of the princi- ples of the party. The meeting was presided over by Emil L, G. Hohenthal of South Manchester, state chairman, on behalf of the borough of West Ha- ven. MT.

 Mr. W, c. Calderwood made stir ring speech on behalf of the party. He spoke at great length on the evils ac- cruing from the liquor habit, and of the gallant fight the party had made and was still making to suppress it. He claimed that the seller of liquor was worse than the gambler, because while the one robbed the individual of his money the other did something that was far worse. The drink he sold him rendered him unfitted to occupy his place in his home and also unfitted him for his daily labor. The saloon, he maintained, was a bad thing, and the saloonkeeper was bad. The law that allowed 1t was bad also. They had a problem to solve in the saloon and the liquor traffic, and 1t was only through political organization that they could hopeto kill It. They as a party had kept up the fight and unlike other parties they had not deviated from the platform on which they started out. They may not yet have finished the course, he said, but 1t couldn't be said of them that they had not kept the faith. (Applause) He warned them that they could no longer exist as a protest party. The time had come when they must get together and win. They must enlist the thousands of young men of the country under their banner, and they must be practical and keep LID the fight until they were able to return a man on the prohibition tick ct as president of the United States, (Applause) He assured them that by the grace of God and their help that the time was not far distant (ap- plause) when the time would arrive.
 A meeting of the state central com mittee was held in the afternoon to consider the platform and candidates. A large majority favored the nomina- ton for governor of Matthew OBrien of Bridgeport on broad platform.
 Following the meeting the following committees were appointed. The com mittees for the other counties being left over until this morning.

Senator Dubois and Heitheld
both favored the proposition
and would have made strenuous
efforts to secure its passage at
that time, had they not feared
that it's agitation at that par
ticular time would have worked
detrimentally to the general lrri-
cation bills that were then un-
der consideration. If these gen
tlemen were true prophets such a
measure could at this time be
advantageously introduced.
Thirdly, it neither local people
nor the government will not
take hold of the proposition ws
must enlist private capital. Thi
is the only thing left and this is
the thing that must inevitably
be done if some one does not
move shortly. Capital can cas-
lily see the advantages of such &
project and will take it up if We
do not wiggle. Gentlemen, are
you ready for the question?

the citizens of Oakley were so
stirred over the happening Of
events as on the occasion OF re-
ceiving news, last Sunday after
noon, that Sister Mamie Buch-
anan, sister of Pres. w, t. Jack,
was lost in the hills in the vicin-
ity Of Forester Fred Critchfeld's
camp on the U. S. government
reserve about twenty miles west
of Oakley.
Sister Buchanan was being en-
tertained by Sister Critchheld at
the Critch6eld cabin, and was
enjoying all the benefits and
pleasures of a summer outing.
Saturday morning last Sister
Buchanan expressed a desire to
those in camp to visit a point
from which she might look down
upon what is know asa Trapper
creek, a much-favored hs hing
locality at the bottom of one OF
the large canyons, and at about
ten o., lock the same morn
ing she egan, on foot, her jour
ney for a point about mile dis
tant with a view to accomplish
ing her desired purpose.
All who know Sister Buchanan
know her to be a woman almost
entirely without fear and to her
such a journey might be under
taken IN perfect safety.
When about a half mile from
camp rain began to fall and Sis
ter Buchanan, thinking it wis.
dom to give up her journey and
return to the cabin, turned about
and began a rapid walk, in the
direction Of camp; but a walk oi
several miles failing to bring he1
back, she realized that she was
lost.
WONDERFUL PRESENCE OF MINI
DISPLAYED.
Rather than give up in despair
as the majority Other sex, unde.
such trying circumstances woulC
have done, Sister Buchanan re
solved to put her trust in Coz
and face the situation bravel,
and with calm judgement. Hav
ing walked miles in her efforts t,
reach the camp, taking grea
pains to make her shoe-print

be in search, and the darkness {
