MOB AUTOISTS
AND BURN
CAR
EnragedF Farmers Force Tour
lists to Walk Home After
Accident to Boy.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.--Mobbed by farm
ers after their big touring car had ac-
cidentally run over a little boy. S. B.
Chaplin, millionaire packer, and two
women companions, one of whom was
Mr.. Chapins wife. are said to have
been driven from the automobile in the
of Deerfield, ILL.,. forced to stand.
and look on while the big automobile
was incinerated In a big bonfire that
the farmers built under 1t. and then
compelled to walk two miles through
the country before they could find an
accommodating driver who would take
them to the Moraine Hotel in Highland
Park
I These statements were made by citi-
zens at Deerfield yesterday to clear
up the mystery of the destruction of
large touring car last Saturday, about
which little could be learned OH ac-
count of the manner in which the own
ers of the car guarded the accident.
1t was said on good authority yester-
stay. however, that the occupants nf the
car were young Louis F. Swift, son of
the millionaire packer; S. B. Chaplin.
member of the brokerage firm Of S. B.
Chaplin & Co., with offices in the Stock
Exchange buil4ng in Chicago and 6e7
Fifth avenue. New York; Mrs. Chapin
and a young woman who has been
visiting as guest at the Chapin sum-
mer residence In Lake Geneva
Yesterday II was said that after the
enraged farmers burned the big automo-
bile they jeered the members Of the party.
refused to furnish them a conveyance
with which to return to their homes,
and declined to even sell a horse and We
hicle at any price. The running down of
the boy Is said to have been entirely acci-
dental and unavoidable on the part of
the automobile party.
1t is said that as soon as the accident
took place the automobilists stopped the
car, returned to the spot where the boy
lay, and were prepared to do all in their
power to help him when they fell into the
hands of the enraged farmers.
In fact, 1t is reported that even after the
motorists had been subjected to all this
humiliation young Mr. Swift went back
TO Deerfield on the following day, had the
boy attended TO by the best physicians,
and offered to indemnify him, through his
father, to any reasonable extent for his In
1uries, regardless OF the wrecling of the
automobile.

ANOTHER CASE
OF SMALLPOX
FOUND
Condemns Bridgeport Au-
hOritiesin AllOWingWO
to Leave Infected Home.

Another smallpox case appeared to-
day in this city and the local Board 70
Health officials are much wrought up
over the matter, being angry al the
carelessness Of health authorities else
where in the matter.
Health officer David D. Chandler
has issued instructions that all possible
efforts be used to locate the source of
contagion, and when located drastic
measures will be taken to eradicate
the disease and stamp out the source.
At present there are four pa
tients with the disease at the Isolation
Hospital, and though the Board OF
Health and DIR. Worl. head of the con-
tagious disease bureau, have worked
necessarily TO locate the cause of the
contagion, they have failed to find ny
conditions that could be responsible
for the outbreak.
The victim removed to the hospital
today was Mrs. Augusta Keller, 81
years old, of 125 Belmont avenue. Her
case is well developed. She and her
family state that she has not been
away from home or visiting. so that
the origin of her case is unknown.
On July 80 Mrs. Wisklewski and her
hospital, the woman in a convalescent
stage of the disease, and both children
having well-developed cases. The
mother and children arrived In this
country several weeks ago and pro-
ceeded from New York to Bridgeport.
Conn, where the husband and father
was found to have the disease. After
finding her husband stricken. the
woman, who, according to the physi-
clans, had suffered for several weeks,
together with her children, came to
this city to stay with her mother-in-
law In Jackson street.
After several days she carried one of
her children into the office of DIR. Stage.
who Immediately notified the health
and had the woman and
children removed to the isolation hos
pital.
The lax methods of the health au-
thorities of Bridgeport in allowing the
woman and children to depart after
being in direct contact with the dis
ease, is considered criminal, and the
local board will ask the Bridgeport
be taken up by the State Board Of
Health of this State with the state
Board of Connecticut.
The woman Travelled on trains and
street cars to reach this city while suf-
fering from the disease, and may have
gotten into contact with many persons,
and some of the germs may have lodged
in the vehicles in which she Travelled.
Mrs. Keller may have become a victim
in this way

That evening Caspar Dane sat in his
library, reading in the evening news
paper of the singular gyrations FER
formed by Valdez mining stock-of its
astonishing plunge in one hour from
fOrty-five down to fifteen. and of its
upward shoot. following Immediately

huge block of stock regardless of sac
rifice. While Caspar Dane perused
the financial writer's sapient COM
ments on the demoralizing episode, his
daughter Helen sat on the other side
of the lamp. The maid appeared at
the door and announced, Mr.. Paul

JACKSON DOLNGS
DOWN TO DATE

Jackson, Miss, October 9.--The
railroad commission met yesterday af
ternoon and adjourned out of sym
pathy for President McNair, the death
of his wife's sister, Mrs. J. M. Heart
field, having been announced.
However, the commission has dis.
missed the petition of the Prairie Cot
ton company of aberdeen which de-
manded that the commission should
have the Mobile & Ohio reduce rates
on cotton shipped to the east. also
the rates of COMPRISING charged by
the Grenada compress company
matters over which the commission
has repeatedly declared it had no
Jurisdiction. The railroad rate mat
ter is for the interstate commerce
commission, and the compress charges
are private matter to be settled by
the individuals.
The commission is in receipt of a
letter from the Louisville & Nashville
railroad company advising that the
depot at Bay st. Louis has been re-
painted and that sanitary closets have
been provided at Bay st. Louis, Biloxi,
Pass Christian and Scranton and that
other depots are soon to receive new
coats of paint.
The Mobile, jackson & Kansas
City railroad asks permission of the
commission to issue passes to con-
tractors working along its lines, and
same will be granted if the commits
sion has the right to grant such re
quests. The fact of the business is
that the Mississippi commission does
not care how many passes any rail-
road issues, but in order to pacify the
Kinds county grand jury It would be
well for them to file a list OF the
passes issued hereafter.
