BURNED UNDER AUTO.
J. E. Dodge of Maiden, Mass, and
Port Henry Man Killed.

Plattsburg, N. Y, July 26.-An au-
tomobie accident occurred about six miles
west of Port Henry last night, resulting
in the instant death of j. E. Dodge of
Maiden, Mass, and Lockwood Reed of
Port Henry, B. E. Titus of Syracuse, who
was in the car at the time of the acct
dent, escaped uninjured.
Saturday evening the three men set
out for Port Henry for load of provis-
ions, and were making the return trip to
their camp, ten miles away, when at a
point about six miles west of Port Henry,
Mr.. Dodge lost control of the machine,
and the car dashed into stream known
as Muddy Brook and then turned tur-
tie. pinning Dodge and Reed underneath.
Instantly there was heavy explosion
and the car took fire, burning the victims
beyond recognition. 1t is thought that
the two men were killed before the ma
chine took fire.
There is high .embankment near the
scene of the accident, and the heavy ma
chine plunged over this throwing Titus
twenty feet into the air. He landed in
the soft mud near the edge of the creek
He is unable TO tell how the accident oc

ufacturer of New York. The car was
driven by Mr.. Masury's chauffeur, who
had previously been carrying servant
girl and a bootblack in the machine.
The chauffeur Louis LeFraneois, of No
14S West 104th street, New York, waived
examination to-day on charge of man.
slaughter, and was committed to the
county Jail at Freehold in default of bail.
A special grand jury will be impanelled
to handle the case.
DR.. Flint was on his way back to New
York. DR.. Wylie took him to the station
in his automobile. They left the car, and
! Dr. Flint started across the the road to
| the station, with DIR. Wylie a short dis
tonce behind him. 1t was then that the
car driven by LeFraneos swept past the
station at what some of the spectators say
was forty pace.
The car passed between the two phys
icians, and one of the lamps caught DIR.
Flint on the hip, and the impact hurled
him twenty feet ahead. He fell directly
in the path of the car, and caught beneath
in the gearing and dragged eighty feet
before the chauffeur could stop the ma
chine. DIR. Flint was carried unconscious
to DR.. Wylie's summer home, where he
died an hour later. His head was crushed
and his ankles were fractured.
LeFrancois, who is only nineteen years
old, was arrested, and the circumstances
| of his night driving were ascertained
He has been employed by Mr.. Masury for
about year, and last night, according
to the story that he told to Coroner viii
liam E. Mcdonald, he took out Mr.. Mas
ury's car to carry to the railroad station
Kate Corrigan, a servant. At the station
they met George Belletier, the station
bootblack. AS Belletier and LeFraneois
allege, the bootblack had said there were
no more trains to New York, and the girl
had asked to be taken to the home of
Gus Anderson to spend the night
This was done, and Belletier said he rode
along with her and the chauffeur to show
the latter the way. Both men agreed
that they had left the woman at the An
derson house and that they INDUCED in a
''joy ride" back to the station, when the
accident happened.
h At the preliminary hearing this after
noon, before Mayor P Hall Packer, the
bootblack was held in 5000 bail as wit
ness. Meanwhile Coroner Mcdonald en-
panelled jury, which viewed the body
and a permit was then issued for its re-
moval.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Masury was
in the court and the rumor that he
would bail out LeFraneois, there was a
story current that the chauffeur had
taken the car without the owners con-
sent. Had this been so he would be liza
BILE to fine of $500 or imprisonment for
not more than sixty days, aside from
whatever might be the decision in the
matter Re the decision in the matter of
his responsibility for killing DR.. Flint.
AS matters stand, it is expected that the
inquest will result in the holding of LIE
FRANCOIS on charge of man-slaughter.
DIR. Flint was thirty-tive years old, and
was graduated from Harvard in 1896.
He was witness in the Thaw trial. DIR.
Flint's wife and his son Thomas arrived
in New York on their way to to this place
from New Hampshire last night. -Tri-

Austria After M otorists.

Vienna, July 28. - Americans who
intend to motor in Austria should be
warned of the new law regulating mo-
tor traffic, which has caused conster-
nation among the automobiles of that
empire. DIR. Emil Frischauer, Vienna
lawyer, who has studied the measure,
says there is absolutely no limit to the
amount of compensation that may be
exacted from a motorist for damage
caused by or due to his car.
He is responsible for damage done by
frightened horses, and the amount he
has to pay may be fixed by any small
local tribunal. There is no damage
limit, and in view of the notorious hos
tility of certain districts to motorists a
fortune might easily be lost on a single
journey.
In Germany the damage limit is fixed
at S12, 500. The Secretary of the Vienna
Automobile Club asserts that the posi-
ton of motorists will be most serious if
the law is vigorously administered. DR..
Frischauer says but one avenue of es-
cape appears open to the motorist, and
that is to evade the law by the formation
of limited companies.
Several motorists will join to form a
company. each subscribing a certain
sum, say, $4,000. A company with five
members will thus have $4,000 at it.
command, and will purchase the cars
of the five members, giving $1,000 fol
each. The company now becomes liable

THE AMERICAN PRINCIPLE.
Representation In tho National Grange
Discussed

Representation In tho National Grange
Discussed
The Pennsylvania Grange News says
e1itnrfany that the policy of representa-
ton IN lnwInaking bodies in proportion
to the population is an American prin-
cipls. In our federal government as
we'll as IN the states we have two
branches Of the lawnakine body, the
hover hpuse and the senate. Neither
Of these Is complete In itself, one
being a ompheted half Of the other
and both being required to act before
any bill can be enacted into law. In
the United States senate each state
has two votes, and In the other house
of congress this Is equaliZed by CIV
ing to the states of larger population
larger number of votes For In
stance, Colorado has two In the SEN
ate and three in the house, making five
votes. Indiana has two IN the senate
and thirteen in the house, making a
total of fifteen Rhode Island has two
In the senate and two In the house,
making four votes, while Pennsylvania
has two IN the senate and thirty-two
IN the house, making thirty-four votes
that we can give to any measure Of
interest or importance % the welfare
of the keystone Stata New York,
having still a larger population, has
two tn the senate aud thirtyseven In
the house
So we find the system OF representa-
ton IN the national grange Is out of
accord with the American principle of
representation This American princi-
Pile of representation Is also carried out
In our state legislatures, as counties of
larger population have more votes
than those of smaller population and
of Less material interests So In the
national grange states should be given
representation In proportion to their
grange membership. When state
hustles and builds up large member
ship and pays big SUM OF money into
the national grange treasury land
Pennsylvania pays between 5000 and
$4,000 TO It every year It's importance
to the Order should be recognized and
rewarded by proportional representa-
ton It Is true that political machines
are and always have been against CIV
ing the people very much voice IN their
own affairs but we don't expect to
find machine methods IN any unit of
the grange organization.
