SCENE OF AUTO
ACCIDENT
Steering Gear Broke Coming
Into Metuchen and Machine
Was Hurled Against Pole.
TWO OCCUPANTS KILLED
AND OTHERS HURT
Injured in Serious Condition
in st. Peters Hospital in
New Brunswick.

Many people from this city yester-
day went to the scene of the fatal auto
mobile accident which occurred Satur-
day afternoon short distance beyond
Metuehen on the road to New Bruins
wich in which George A. Mclean and
his son lost their lives and five others
in the party were seriously hurt. The
entire force of doctors at st. Peters
Hospital in New Brunswick was busy
last night looking after victims To-
day they gave out this bulletin as to
their injuries:
Mrs. George A. Mclean, fractured
wrist joint and suffering from shock.
Miss Dorothy Mclean, bones of the
left hand fractured and badly bruised.
Miss Harriet Mcdonald, fractured
left arm
Miss Jeanette Mcdonald, fracture of
thigh and left arm, condition serious.
Oscar Scott, chauffeur, both arms
broken.
The bodies of Mr.. Mclean and his
son are at the morgue of Coroner J. v.
Hubbard, in New Brunswick.
Members of the Mclean family at
Riverside, H., have been notified Of
their deaths and Mr. Mclean S brother
is expected here tonight or tomorrow
to arrange for the shipment of the
bodies to Chicago. The injured have
not been told of the deaths.
Mr.. Mclean died rather suddenly at
8 o'clock last night, probably of hem
orrhage of the brain. He was con-
scious almost to the last, and dictated
seven kilograms, reassuring friends and
telling them that no one was seriously
injured His business training was
shown by the fact that one of the tele-
grams was for cancellation of the re-
servations for the trip to his Chicago
home.
The chauffeur is said to have been
in the employ of the Mclean family for
some time and no blame is attached to
him for the accident. Upon the party
taking the Lake Shore Limited to Chi
fe2go on Saturday night the auto was
to have been shipped back 10 riverside

he would make no further investiga-
tions of the accident. He sent Detee-
tive Hoffman to the scene on Saturday,

but upon finding the misbap was due
to the gearing chain breaking he saw
no reason for further probing.

badly beaten and shot, and mob of
women threw bombs at the constabu-
larry and wrecked company restau-
rants.
Deputy Sheriff Killed.
Strike couriers circulated among
their comrades, and word was passed
around for monster mass meeting at
the Indian mound. An immense crowd
congregated, and 1t was estimated that
over 10000 gathered there to listen to
the speeches delivered in several Ian
guages.
The mob of strikers finally gathered
in front of the swinging gates of the
stockade and began concerted at
tack. The state troopers resisted, and
in the melee Deputy Sheriff Harry

HER FREEDOM

Regina Barich, nineteen years old,

A Rel Burglar Proof Safe

A CURIOUS modern invention IS to be seen
by favored few in the Bank of England.
It IS claimed TO be an absolutely burglar proof
safe. because at night it IS lowered into a sub
vault OF heavy masonry and concrete.
When the safe reaches the bottom OF the
vault, it IS fastened down by massive steel
lugs, operated by triple time lock. Until
these lugs are released automatically at a
fixed time no human agency can RAISE the
safe. As for breaking through the subvault
and walls Of stone and concrete ten feet thick
even with dynamite-well the burglar must
shake his head sorrowfully and admit that he
has met his Waterloo in that safe.

A FEW QUEER THINGS

THERE IS in Wales a creek five miles long
connecting two small lakes About fifty
persons own property along this creek, and
Tor years and years the people have disputed
as to who owned the fish IN it Not long ago
two boys got into a fight over the fish they
were catching, and the dispute was at last
carried into the courts.
The decision Of the Judge was odd enough.
He decreed that anyone claiming 70 own any
OF the fish should attach d brass tag TO the
tails OF the fish with the owners name IN plain
letters, and that IN the future he must catch
his own fish or none at all This unique de
cision put an end TO the dispute

Health a Religion

Nowadays the smart woman of London makes health a religion. And while the climate of London is more ruinous to health than nearly any other, the same principles should apply everywhere.

Beauty's Best Friend

It matters not whatever else the up-to- date woman does without, she can scarce ly resist investing in the triple mirror. And then after she has invested in 1t she should never forget to look in it every time she arranges her hair and pins on her hat.
 Few women pay enough attention to angles in the search for beauty. Many a woman who is told that a certain style of coiffure is becoming clings blindly to that belief, never knowing that while lines are the same the adjustment of the fraction of an inch out or in makes just the difference between a handsome and a homely woman.
 Study the line of your head in arranging your hair Not the front line only, but from the back and particularly the sides. Consider whether your face is long or broad, fresh or faded and then arrange your hair accordingly. Over the elongated face never put long pompadour; in- stead brush the hair back smoothly, part ing it, and waving it softly over the fore head.
 Above all look in your triple mirror and study effects. It will prove to be beauty s best friend.

MISS PATRICK
 GIVES RECITAL
By CHARLES B. CARTER.

Marion, March 1s-(Special )--The senior song recital of Miss Mary Louise Patrick. daughter of Dr. and Mrs Robert c. Pat rick of Judson college, was given at Alumnae auditorium Monday evening. the 18th. Miss Patrick was assisted by Miss Della Hudmon of Opelika, as pianist
 The programme which consisted of II songs, representing the best of the classic and present day composers, was a most pleasing and artistic one
 A duet from Der Freschutz," sung by Miss Patrick and her teacher, Mrs. Cur Sganus, most fittingly opened the pro. gramme and set a standard of excel lence which was maintained throughout the evening.
 Eye Hath Not Seen (GauD from ..The Holy City" was sung with a bread dth and dignity scarcely to be expected from singer so young; the magnificent pipe organ blending with the voice gave a grand rendition that was charming to the audience
 or the other large numbers and those most effectively sung were Greig's Der Freischutz.' The last named song is call culated to test the voice and interpreta-
  tive powers of the singer. In this, as in all her singing, Miss Patrick showed an appreciation of the spirit of the work at once rational, genuine and artistic. Too much cannot be said in praise of the artistic rendering of "A Love Nota.. (Hogers), and the Song of My Love. O'Hardetot. The little Woodman songs "A Disappointment" .sThe Rain Coach ; and The Birth of the Rainbow" were gems. and the closing number, '.The Sere- nader" (Eversole), showed most exceIlen+ coloratura work
 Miss Patricl's voice is lyric soprano Of good range and quality. One of its most pleasing characteristics is the fiite- like quality of the upper register Ex- cellent breath-control great vocal fexi- bility and volume of tone enable bsr to execute the lyric and forid style with equally good effect.
 Miss Hudmon contributed two remarl- ably fine numbers to the evenings pro granne. She combines great strength
