FOUR KILLED

NEW YORK.

Ran the Machine Over the Pier Head
Into East River Drowning the Oc.
cupants.
Locked up in New York. without
bail, on Tuesday, John Bauer, a
chauffeur, who took. out his employ
er's touring car without permission
for wild night ride, faces a charge
of homicide and four persons are
dead as the result of his exploit.
On the public pier at the foot of
West Fifty-sixth street and the
North river is the damaged high
power French motoring car which
Bauer, driving like the wind over
slippery streets and in the face of
cutting rain, sent over the piers
brink and into the river with it's six
occupants. The dead:

No. 531 West Fifty-frst street
| Coleman, Rosie, 90, his wife, same

Berdon, Adeline, 19, of No. 533
West Fifty-irst street
Bauer took his employer home af-
ter a ride with her finance, Bedell
H. Larned, who is Frank J. Gould S
secretary. He was directed to take
the car back to the garage which is
the same place where the Gould au-
tomobile are cared for. He met his
friend John holland, at Fifty-fourth
street and Tenth avenue, and pro-
posed a ride.
They called for the Colemans and
as there was still room in the tom
neau, they took little Virgini Knight
and Adeline Berdon, who lived next
door.
! The car was sent north to Fifty
sixth street, where they met Mary
Knight, an older sister Of Virgini,
and stopping, Mrs. Coleman asked
her to go along with them. She
thought the car was sufficiently we'll
filled and declined to crowd The
pleasure seekers. Her courtesy say
ing her life.
Bauer let. the car out to racing
gait. The street were running with
water and the heavy machine slid
from side to side as the velocity in
creased. At twelfth avenue they were
going like mad and heading straight
for the pier. half block away.
Like Vanderbilt contestant near
ing the finish line. the heavy Rem
ault was sent straight TO the end OF
the pier. where it struck string
piece snapped it like match stick,
and then. overturning. went crashing
into the dark waters of the North
river. Bauer was .catapulated 20
feet ahead OF the car and Nolan
eaped as the car struck.
Bauer made statement to the po-
lice in which he said he had ap-
piled the brakes when the machine
was half way down the pier. and that
the machine had skidded. In the
mud on the pier the wheels Of the
machine made a straight track from
one end to the other.

High School Notes.

The first of series of competitive
literary programs was given by the
high school pupils last Friday. The
program consisted of two orations,
two original stories, two recitations
and a debate on the question of
government ownership of railroads.
The competitive feature of the program
is secured by the organization of the
high school into three divisions con-
sisting of nearly equal numbers of the
four different classes, each division
being determined by lot. The plan
contemplates that two of these d.
visions shall meet together in a joint
program while the third division
holds a meeting in a seperate room.
The division that prevails in the joint
meeting according to the decision OF
three disinterested judges must then
meet the third division in a similar
contest.
High school athletics are beginning
to manifest themselves in the form Of
basket ball. There will be two teams

WILL TAFT GIVE MAC ANOTHER JOB
Claim Made that Presidential Can
didate Advised Him to Stick
to One lie Had.

James T. McCleary, defeated candi-
date for congress, is now in Washing
ton apparently looking for another
Job. AS Roosevelt asked him to re-
sign the assistant postmaster gener-
alship it isn't likely that he can hope
for anything from that quarter, but it
is believed that he hopes to land a
place in either the diplomatic or con-
sular service after the inauguration
of Taft
In this connection the following
from the Washington correspondent
of the st. Paul Dispatch may be of
interest:
SIT is known that prior to announc-
ing himself as candidate for con-
gress last summer McCieary went to
Hot Springs and had long confer
ence with Judge Taft. He went over
the situation in the Second district,
and Judge Taft expressed wish that
matters might be amicably adjusted so
that a fight could be avoided and the
district be redeemed by the republic
cans.
"McCleary admitted at the time that
he would have to make a hard fight
for the nomination and for election, if
nominated, and that it might cost the
national and state ticket many votes.
On frst-class authority, it is stated
that Judge Taft advised McCleary to
keep his job as second assistant post
master general, on the ground that it
would eliminate bitter feeling in the
Second Minnesota district. But Nc.
Clearly went from Hot Springs to New
York and the story is that the Ameri
can Protective Tariff league urged
him to get into the race. Coinciden
with his present visit here is the ar
rival of Charles A, Moore of New
York, president of the American Protec
tive Tariff association, who called a
the White House. -

JOHNSON HONORED AT HOME.
Third Term Governor Receives
Cordial Greeting From
Former NeiShbors.
Olive Fremstad, Famous Singer,
Shares in Plaudits of
Great Throng.
New Ulm Enthusiasts Present
With Militia and Band.

/ st. Peter on Thursday celebrated
: Tor the third time the election of it's
fayorite son TO the governorship.
And it was a great celebration, too.
Early in the morning farmers from
all over Nicollet and LIE Sueur coun-
ties began focking into town and at
noon there came a special train from
ST. Paul and Minneapolis bringing
the governor himself, his wife, Olive
Fremstad, the great singer, and scores
upon scores of familiar figures in the
politics of the state.
With such crowd there was no
trouble in arousing enthusiasm and
before the afternoon was over old
3 st. Peter was stirred as it never had
been before.
AT the opera house Gov. Johnson
made a brief speech, but it was a
mastery one.
He declared it to be the proudest
moment in his life, for it was his own
people tn at were honoring him and it
was the inspiration gained from their
support and sympathy that had made
him of service to the state and the
nation. Minnesota was great state
and ST. Peter, he was proud to say,
had figured much in it's making.
Then came Fremstad, queen Of song.
Her youth, too, had been spent in ST..
~,iPeter, and the warmth of the reception
she received so impressed her that she
sang song after song. From her gift
or throat came lullabys, folk lore
selections, songs of her childhood
and the home of her parents, and each
was priceless in the beauty and purity
of its tone. A wonderful treat it was,
indeed, to all who were fortunate e.
nough to hear it.
Following Nine. Fremstad, short
speeches were made by Congressmen
Hammond and Davis, both eulogistic
of johnson and each heralding his
presidential prospects in 1912.
In the evening there was a monster
Asarade in which the Second Regimen
band and Company A of New Uln
and dozen other military and musi
cal organizations participated. Fire
works and red fire blazed everywhere
and all along the route of the parad
thousands cheered Justify for tn
playing bands and the hero of tn
occasion.
When the parade was over stree
corner speeches were made from CAL
riages by Mayor Haynes, Geo. W
Somerville, Congressman Harmon
and others.
