this city, the chauffeur who was ar

charge of manslaughter, growing out
of his machine running over a boy
and killing him, was in the city last
night on his way to Cincinnati. Mr..

boy dashed out of store and ran

of the collision, the fatal injury had

The closing session of the institute
Of the Knox County Teachers associ-
alton Friday afternoon was opened by
singing, Mrs. Baker being in sharge.
Prof. Barbour's subject was Can
Literature be Taught?" subject that
has caused much discussion among
the great educators of the time. Many
of them claim that it can not, their
reason being that it depends upon the
emotional and intellectual nature of
the individual. Prof. Barbour said that
he believes it can be taught. There is
artistic expression in all literature, he
said, which appeals to the imaginative
intellect, the cultivated ear and the
sympathetic heart. AS for the intel
lectual side, literature can be taught
by an analysis of the line of thought;
as for the artistic side, teacher can
cultivate an ear for the appreciation
of the beauty of poetry; and as for the
sympathetic or emotional side, the
good teacher can arouse, through liter
ature, the finer feelings and emotions
that lie in every human breast.
Mr.. Couglin gave talk on Culture
of the Will" He said that the teach
er Is will-trainer and should not lose
sight of this important fact. He spoke
Of ex-President Roosevelt as an ad-
mirable example of one who has great
will power. In the training of the
child some important elements that
enter into the culture of the will are
economy, some purpose in the work,
a power to do things and to overcome
difficulties, forgetting Of self and
working for the common good The
line of human endeavor in deciding
how to act, he said, should be: l am,
l ought, l can, 1 will.
Mr. G. G.. Harris, the secretary of
the Reading Circle, reported that one
hundred and fifty-nine teachers have
become members.
Prof G. HI. Winans then read the re-
port of the nominating committee, rec
ommending the following persons for
election:

LOADED
Was The Old Rifle And II
Went Off
Landing A Bullet In Storm
ef'S Shoulder

Guyler Stormer, residing at 203
West Gambler street, was the victim
of a shooting accident which occurred
at his home at about four.thirty
o'clock on Friday afternoon. Mr..
Stormer found an old rifle in closet
and on examining it, found that 1t
could be cleaned and made to shoot
as well as ever. He secured the nee
essary articles and began to clean
the hammer and trigger before max
ing an examination of the barrel to
see If 1t was loaded. The hammer
was oiled and snapped several times
but no explosion of a cartridge oc-
CURED. Next the hammer was pulled
back in order that passage of light
might penetrate through the barrel
and he was in the act of raising II
up to look through 1t when the ham
mer fell and a shot was fired. The
bullet penetrated the left shoulder
just at the top of the collar bone and
glanced, passing out at the top of the
shoulder. DR.. V. L. Fisher was called
in attendance and the wound dressed.
After a close examination, it was
found that the bone had not been
splintered or injured in any way and
it is expected that the wound will
heal rapidly.

MASTER
Stroke Was Passage OF In.
feFiOr Courts Act
Freed The AutOmOblliStS
From Being Arrested
While In Act Of Violating
Speed Ordinance
If They Can Produce A Card
Of Identity
Interesting Topics Brought
To Light 10 Gotham

New York, August 27:-The passing
of the new Inferior Courts Act" by
the State legislature of New York was
great triumph for the automobile
owning class. 1t was a master-stroke
which freed them from the petty an
noyance of being arrested and hauled
to prison when they are caught in the
act of violating the speed-ordinances.
The average automobilist does not
care a rap for riding in an auto un-
less he can go at top speed and as
the police authorities under constant
pressure by the common herd, not
owning autos, persisted in arresting
speeders whenever they could, auto
MODELLING had almost ceased to be a
pleasure. But, the new law, will give
the desired relief and in the future
speed fiends can give themselves up
to their favorite amusement without
fear of landing in some Jail. All they
have to do is to obtain one of those
identity cards which the new law pro-
vides for. If they have one of these
cards in their pocket they cannot be
arrested for violating the speed or
any other ordinance. The officer who
should stop them may only examine
the card, take the number and hand
the violator summons to appear in
court. The autoist may continue his
mad race and need not even appear
in court, but send his lawyer instead.
Under the law these cards are to be
issued only to persons of good
character, but, of course, the owner
ship of an auto is considered prima
! facie evidence of good character"
Every applicant for card must be
vouched for by three citizens and it
is characteristic of the source of the
law that it expressly provides that no
keeper of liquor saloon shall be ac-
cepted as voucher for any applicant.
Strange to say, this provision does
not prevent saloonkeepers from OBJ
tanning identity cards. This seems
rather anomalous, as these cards are
only issued to persons of good char
acter" and there seems to be no log
ical reason in excluding a person of
good character" from vouching for
another person of good character"
