OFFICIALS HURT
IN AUTO. SMASHUP BETWEEN
CALLICOON AND FREMONT
CENTRE FRIDAY - SENATOR
ROWLAND IN PARTY THAT
GOES OVER BANK-CHAUF-
FEUR BADLY OFF.

A serious automobile accident
took place Friday afternoon between
Callicoon and Fremont Centre, Sui
livan county, in which five men were
injured, one very seriously. The
party consisted of Winslow NJ.
Meade, deputy superintendent of
public works of the state of New
York; Clarence ]. BuGkman, Sena-
tor NJ. c. Rowland and Alfred U.
Marvin, representing the state
bridge commission of Pennsylvania,
and Philip Maurer, the chauffeur.
The party had been at Callicoon
inspecting the bridge over the Della
ware. They left Callicoon at 2
O'Clock to go to Fremont Centre and
thence to Hancock, and occupied a
large white car. The car had climb
ed a very steep hill near Fremont
Centre and was nearly to the top
when the steam gave out and the
machine began to run backward
down the hill. Chauffeur Maurer
applied the brakes, but the rod broke
and the car with added momentum
NOn W lull DdNh W al lC Oilg
hope of averting a serious accident
was to turn the car into the bank
at the side of the road and Chauf-
feur Maurer took this course. The
car was going at such speed, how
ever, that when it struck the bank
it turned completely over, pinning
all the occupants underneath it.
A number of people in the vicin-
ity went to the assistance of the
wrecked parties and raised the ma
chine off them. The four members
of the bridge commission were Sc
verely cut and bruised, and Chauf-
feur Maurer seemed to be badly in
jured. Another automobile was Sc
cured and the whole party were driv-
en- to Hancock as quickly as posi-
BILE, where their injuries were at
tended to. 1t was believed that the
chauffeur would die.

night in jail. The district attorney
directed the sheriff to tell Sam about
Skies death and then lock him in
the cell Previously Sam had been
about the corridor.
"Sike Lord is dead, SAM" said
Sheriff Braman. "He died at 8
this afternoon"
Sam was considerably affected and
said he would like to see his coun-
sci. He sees nobody else and has
not since his first day in Jail. Then
the sheriff locked Sam up.
The supposition is that William
Lord at Mondays inquest told the
story he has told twice before about
the digging of the ditch by Millard
Lord and Sam Reed that morning of
July 12, when words led to blows
and his father. Sike, got the whacks
with the hoe and the pick; that
Elizabeth Lord told about her hus-
bands condition and of her caring
for him during his delirium that
DR.. Frisbie repeated his previous
statements as to the seven cuts on
the head of Sike, one of which, a
5-inch cash, is the one believed to
have been made by the pick in the
hands of Leona and that Mrs. DEMO
again told about seeing Leona Lord
with the pick raised above her head
to strike, though Mrs. Denio, accord
! ing to the understanding of the case
in Honesdale, turned her face and
didn't see the pick descend. But
nothing is certain. The dis
! trict attorney knows and he will not
tell. The coroner and the sheriff
and the photographer know, and the
district attorney has told them not
to tell.
Will Try To Get Leona Lord Out.
w. H. Lee, counsel for Sam and
Leona, said this afternoon that Just
as soon as Judge Searle gets back
from Montrose, where he went Mon
day to hold court, an effort will
be made to get the woman out of
Jail on a writ of habeas corpus.

to bail or discharged" said Mr.. Lee.
"Sike was looking for fight and he
got it,
Sam Reed, Mr.. Lee said, is bearing
up pretty well in Jail and his health
is good.
Millard Says Tyner Tipped OF Sike.
Millard Lord called at the Citizen
Office this afternoon to say that the
presence of Sike and William on his
mothers land was premeditated.
Oakley Tyner. he said, had all along
agreed to telephone Sike and his
son as soon as the digging of the
ditch began, and this Tyner did on
the day of the fight. He says, too.

and they especially call for early
treatment.
The members of the medical So
ciety believe that IL people would
only learn to heed danger signals
as indicated that deaths from cancer
would be comparatively rare. The
great difficulty heretofore has been
that owing to their timidity or their
ignorance of Importance of early
treatment, people have delayed un-
til a condition, which at first was
quite simple and easily durable, has
become too advanced for any treat
ment whatever. No one should
have any undue dread of cancer,
provided that they recognize its
presence and seek immediate treat
ment.
At about ! p. m. the scientific
session gave place to the chicken
dinner which had been prepared un-
der Mrs. Rodman's skilled super
vision, and which was served the
doctors by fantastically dressed
| walters at a long table out under
the trees near the lake. During
dinner and throughout the after
noon, five-piece orchestra added to
the enjoyment of the occasion. Mr.
| Henzel was on hand to photograph
the party for souvenirs. When the
last of the tempting dishes had been
disposed of, Toastmaster Brady re-
quired all present to contribute their
share to the afternoons entertain

Crop of School Matters-Summei
Boarders Are Plentiful.

Most of the farmers in this vicin-

This is due to late frost during the

At recent meeting of the Berlin
school board it was voted to close
three schoOls-Berlin Valley, Chest

of that district, asking to have their
school re-opened. 1t was decided
favorably and o. ID. Henshaw of In

Much has been said the past
three years about building a high
school at Beach Lake. 1t has been
proven that high school would be
too expensive, hence the directors
have decided to erect a building
suitable for grammar school and
have it completed and in readiness
for 1911. Some favor adding wing
to the present school building and
others want new two-story, up-to-
date building. If the latter should
be built, we believe it should be To-
Gated a little west of Ellery Crosby's.
1t is the prettiest place in or near
the town for a public school build

Mrs. Lord was arrested before the
inquest started. Mr.. Simons asked
Coroner Searles to commit the
woman without bail, the same way
Sam Reed had been committed 10
days earlier by Justice C. A. Kord-
man, but the coroner preferred to
have the committal made by a local
justice and Mr.. Kordman, who was
close by, was summoned and made
out the papers.
Constable Hartford, the officer who
brought Sam Reed to jail after
catching him in a hencoop on the

Col. Scott, Former Superintend,
ent, Makes Recommendation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S. - Colonel
Hugh l.. Scott former superintendent
of the Military Academy, in his annual
report, just made public by the war
department. recommends that officers
serving on tours of duty at the acad-
emy be placed ON the same footing as
members of the detailed staff, In order
that the best talent may be secured
for important duties at the academy
without Gripping regiments.
This recommendation has been made
for many years past by superlnten-
dents of the cadet school. the dls-
ciplne during the year has been of a
very high standard, according to
Colonel Scott, and the severity OF pun
ishment in cases of hazing has almost
eliminated this practise.
Great success has been obtained Ill
athletic competitions since the reor-
ganization and the athletic situation
is as bright as it ever has been since
athletic contests were inaugurated'
West Point has done what has been IN
its power to bring about a reorganiza-
ton in the rules of football to make II
a less dangerous game.

CHICAGO RECRUITS
CRIMINALS FROM
ITS VERY YOUNG.
Seventy Per Cent. of Convicts
Range from 10 to rs Years,
Judge Declares.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-"The most stag
gerlng fact that confronts the student
of the criminal courts of Chicago Is
the fact that from Go to 20 per cent of
the criminals going through the courts
are mere boys between the ages of 16
and 25 years, the surest evidence that
this great city is not developing moral
ly as rapidly as it is physically and
mentally" said Municipal Judge John
r. Newcomer in an address TO the
Concordia League
"One great reason that this is true
is that the churches of Chicago are not
doing the work they ought to do for
the upbuilding of the city and in look
ing out for the young boys and men.
We must not expect that the fresh
blood that comes pouring in from the
country will keep Chicago's moral bal
ance. The very first blood to contract
the great immoral contagion in the
wicked city is in the veins of the boy
who comes from the country and who
does not know what confronts him in
the great city
