DROVE BETWEEN
 CAR AND CURB
For This Offense Official of New York Weather Blu
 reau is Fined
HE DECIDES TO SETTLE

Henry Hamlin of New York was ar rested at o'clock yesterday afternoon by Officer Holbrook at the corner of Fairfield avenue and Main street and charged in the city court today with the reckless driving of his automobile. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 with costs amounting to $8, for driving his car between the curb and Beardsley Park car, which had just come to a stop in front of Meigs, store, south bound on Main street.
 Hamlin had been keeping pace down Main street with the car until it came to a stop about 40 feet from the cor ner, when he slowed down and crawl ed along at a pace less than two miles an hour. About 25 people crowd ed into the street in boarding and leaving the car, but when they saw the automobile they stepped back to of the trolley. The horn on the ma chine was blown and as the path was clear Hamlin continued until the front of his car was even with that of the Hamlin if he did not know better than to force his machine through the crowd and arrested him when urg- ed by several citizens to do so.
 The bonds were fixed at $10.
 The prosecutor of the case was based on section Il of chapter 221 of the laws of 1907. The principal points on which Assistant Prosecuting Attor- ney Redden laid stress were the claus es relating to reckless driving and the danger to life from such driving.
 A. L. Lacy of Joseph street, was a witness agaist Hamlin. Attorney Albert J. Merritt appeared for the ac- cused and took appeal under bonds of s100. Later MT. Hamlin decided that he would pay the fine. He is connect ed with the U. S. Weather Observa- ton station in New York city.

BEAUTIFUL GIRL
 DIES. OF BURNS
Flames Completely Destroy "Wawa," Houseboat of
 Lewis HI. Morgan.
GIRLS SUFFERINGS GREAT

Miss Marjorie Morgan, the beautiful 19 year old daughter of Lewis H. Nor gan, died at the Bridgeport Hospital, at 6:30 this morning, of the burns which she received in fire on the Wawa, her fathers houseboat, which was completely destroyed. The fire occurred at noon, yesterday. The boat, which was valued at $3,00o, was entirely uninsured. MT. Morgan has made the craft his home for four years Winters it was his custom to take it to southern waters. In sum- mer he brought it to harbor in this city, beached 1t, ,and used it for a home until it was time to make the southern trip again.
 Yesterday Miss Morgan and her father were alone on the boat. The fire started in the ships galley, in the bow. Miss Morgan was working about the stove. which was the ordi- nary ships type. She had kindled the fire. Her gown caught Her lagonized cries brought her father to her rescue He hastily seized some old bagging and smothered the flames. but was burned himself. His help came too late to save his daughters life.
 In the meantime people on Seaview avenue had telephoned for the am- bulance and the fire department. The hose wagon of Engine No. was sent but could do little to extinguish the fire.
 The Wawa was 50 feet long. of 12 foot beam and was equipped with two nine horse power motors. The boat was built by MT. Morgan on lines of his own and was a thoroughly cap able craft of her type. She was named the Wawa, from the word which Hiawatha user for 'fWild Goose in Longfellow's Poem "Hiawatha.' '' MT. Morgan saved from the fire only a couple of highly prized violins and a barometer.
 MT. Morgan is widely known among newspaper men. He is regarded as one of the most skilled press operators in the country and has seen years of service with the Associated Press.
 The fire alarm was sent in by Supt. of Fire Alarm Barnes. The difficult position of the boat on the Northwest point of land at the mouth of the power house channel made it exceed ingly difficult to reach from the land, and the aid of the fire department and the ambulance service was there fore much delayed.

THOUSANDS
 ARE ENROLLED
Republican List Swelled by 2,O72 and Democratic by 2.OS3 Names.

No longer in Bridgeport can the po- 1itical reformers find fault because the mass of the voters do not take part in the primaries and aid in shaping the destinies of the government by voicing their sentiments upon the se- lection of candidates.
 This city has broken all records in the enrolment of electors under the party banners. The registrars an- nounced this morning that the total registration this year is 4155. This means that the total enrol1ment of the city is 90 per cent of the total voting list and that there is only S45 whose names are not on the primary lists.
 The political activity is not in one party but in both of the big parties and there is only a difference of eleven votes. There were 13,000 names on the primary lists last year and this year there are 17.155. Out of the $500 applications slips filed with the reg istrars of voters 2,345 were duplicates or not bona fide and were thrown in to the discard.
 A statement issued by the registrars this morning shows the enrolment in the 12 districts to be as follows: ENROLMENT FOR PRIMARIES

 New York, Aug. 23.-Donald l.. -Persch. young note and curb broker, was arraigned before Justice Mu1queen to-day and swore to two indictments charging grand larceny in the first de gree in the sale of the Heinze and the Eclipse Oil Company collateral.
 Through his attorney. John F. Mo Intyre, Persch pleaded not guilty. His bond of $50,000 was continued and Persch was sent back to the Tombs. In view of this plea and, the district attorneys actions in court. it is be- 1eved that as soon as the time comes Jerome will go before the Grand Jury and tell the complete story of the sale of the stocks. In that case sensational arrests will probably result. The dis trict attorney maintains that Persch was only the tool of the linen higher up."
 Broker A. D. S. Adams of Boston, indicted on the same charges as Persch. is still in the Tombs in default of bond.

lNTERURBAN CAUSEWAY

The Daily Panhandle of Amar-
lilo and the Hon. Richard Bow
man. representative from this
district: have been agitating the
proposition Of a cauSeway from
Amarillo to Canyon City which
appears to the editor CT this paper
10 be an idea which should re-
ceiye the commentator of the
citizens of this town and county.
According to the plans suggest
ed. it is the intention to have a
roadway sufficiently broad for
the use Of teams and automobiles
and to have the roadway on a d.
rect line from our sister city to
Canyon City. This roadway to
be graded and placed in such
condition that it would be posi-
bic to travel over it even in the
wettest weather and the deepest
mud on the common roads, and
it is also the intention to have
the entire distance lined with
trees on both sides Of the road.
As an inducement the Daily Pan
handle is offering an attractive
advertising proposition in this,
that they will give a years sub
scription to every person who
will plant fifty trees along their
properly line during this tree
planting season. This is a good
proposition whether the property
owner secures the subscription
to the daily paper or not, because
every tree planted enhances the
value of the owners property just
that much, and then we need the
direct road to Amaaillo instead
of having to go there in a round
about way. Let's have the cause
way.
