AUTO TURNS TURTLE.
Their Daughter, Flung Out and
Hurt, Tries vainly to Lift
Car From Them.

After dinner yesterday afternoon,
John A. Smith, a travelling salesman
living in Carey avenue, West New
Brighton, took his wife and daughter
Jennie, sixteen years old, out in an au-
tomobile which he purchased two
months ago. Mr.. Smith piloted the car
without mishap to the boulevard at New
Drop. In turning into Tyson street he
cut the curve too short and the car tot
tering on two wheels, turned turtle.
Jennie, in the rear seat, shot into the
air. She landed twenty feet away in
the road. Mr.. Smith was wedged in by
the steering gear and he could not es-
cape. His wife chung to him and both
fell beneath the machine when it turn
ed over.
Her face cut and bruised and her left
elbow fractured, the little girl lay in
the dirt for a few minutes, stunned.
The sharp pains quickly brought her to
and she scrambled to her feet. She
looked at the automobile and saw her
mother and father. She called to them
but they did not answer. Running over

the worlds greatest heroes could not
have rounded out their career.
The offenses of Standard Oil are one
thing. The benevolent employment of
some of its hundreds of millions is an
other. Mr.. Rockefeller's gift does not
blot out in any degree the record made
by his corporation or relieve him of the
fullest responsibility for his part in its
affairs. 1t stands by itself and is to be
judged by its purpose and uses only.
If they shall be kindly, humanizing, en-
tightening and just they will serve not
so much to obscure as to darken and
render forbidding the practices that
made the accumulation possible.
What is called business varies greatly
from age to age. In many respects il
is desperate game even now. Those
who get money ruthlessly and those
who keep it in miserly fashion are still
in evidence. There should be praise Of
good deeds not only for the encourage
ment of the well-disposed but for the
instruction of those who never felt {
generous impulse or recognized an obi
cation to their fellows.

Foundations that Last.

Mr.. Rockefeller's benefactiOn will be
considered for some time to come in the
light shed by Standard Oil. Motives
will be ascrbed Doubts will be ex-
pressed. The money faint will be sug-
gested.
Yet it is reasonably certain that in
due season the good which this splendid
gift must accomplish will be separated
in mems minds from the methods of the
grinding monopoly through which the
Rockefeller fortune was accumulated
The hundred of millions which go to es-
tablish the new Foundation for the adj
vancement of civilization, the spread of
knowledge and the relief of suffering
will not make privilege, extortion and
monopoly more tolerable. That much
is sure. Properly used every one of
these dollars will work forever against
a repetition of such wrongs.
This is not the only Foundation whose
bedrock cannot be scrutinized agree
ably. Empires, thrones, aristocracies,
society itself, rest too often upon be-
ginnings of which no one is proud
Fortunes gained in slaves, in strange
practices on the Spanish Main, in

FRAUD IN AUTO IMPORTS.
Custom House Will Reach
Over S5OO,OOO.

New York. Feb. q. As the result of
the discovery of frauds against the GUS
toms amounting to over $500, 900 in the
importation of automobiles and other
dutiable articles, an attachment was
levied Saturday on the Office effects of
Alexander Hollander & Co., at No. %
Wall street, for $500O as a preliminary
measure. The original complaint in
this case was made by Henry Clews.
The indictment of Hollander followed
that of two of his employees, one of
whom was connected with the payment
of duty on an automobile bought abroad
by Mr.. Clews. The apprisement was
changed after the full amount of the
duty had been collected from Mr. Clews,
and the Government received about $500
less than the assessment should have
been.
AS soon as the Federal grand jury
had acted on the charges against Hol-
lander a bench warrant was issued for
his arrest. His home was at No. l79
West Seventy street. Thither the
Government agent went to apprehend
the importing agent.
He had of course, heard of the pro-
ceedings against his employees and their
arrest, but the information about his
own Indictment had been guarded.
Holander, however, had fled.
| l.,
ticularly anxious to make the arrest.
! The Investigations by the custom
agents had brought to light many in
stances similar to the Clews case,
Among the Hollander customers were
William K. Vanderbilt, William Aston
Chaner and others equally well known,
all of whom had paid the full duties or
their automobiles, but on which the
Government had only been paid frac-
ton by the agents.
1t was supposed at once that Hollan
der had gone to Canada. The police al
Buffalo and other cities through which
he might have to pass were informed al
once and sharp lookout was kept at al
the stations. But the importing agent
evaded arrest successfully, and he was
soon heard of as being the guest of a
prominent citizen of Montreal.
The weather at Montreal was particu-
larly severe when Secret Service mer
were detailed to shadow Hollander
They found the house where he was
staying and waited for an opportunity
to make the arrest. Just as all was
in readiness to proceed, after night
spent out of doors in a temperature fal
below zero, the importing agent agar
got away. The house had been left un
guarded for a few hours, and it is sup
posed that he knew of their presenc,
and fled as the agent left to get thaw
ed out. At all events, he disappeared
and the Secret Service men returned t.
this city yesterday to report failure.

FRIDAY, MARCH II, 1910.
Use of Money at Elections
Forbidden by the Laws
of Vermont.

We notice that an article in the Bur-
lington Daily News of March Z, headed
CDR. Mead's Candidacy" assumes that
the Doctor has a fine start and is going
to ride rough shod over the people of
the State. We certainly do not be-
can do this in violation of the laws of
the State. We have on our statute
books the following laws in regard to
securing elections by the use of money
or other reward:
CHAP. X. OF THE GENERAL STATUTES.
REGULATION OF CAUCUSES.
Section 124. Bribery. No person
shall, by the use of money, or other
valuable thing, directly or indirectly,
influence or attempt to influence, con-
troll or alter the vote of person at a
caucus specified in this chapter.
PENALTY.
Section 100. For violating a provis-
ion of this chapter. A person who vio-
lates provision of this chapter shall
be fined not more than one hundred dol
lars.
And there is also a Constitutional pro-
vision, that not only forbids the influ-
ence of votes at an election by money
or other valuable thing, but also in
cludes the provision that the person
elected by such means cannot serve
for the ensuing year. These provisions
are as follows:
CONSTITUTION OF VERMONT.
Section "a All elections, whether by
the people or the Legislature, shall be
free and voluntary; and any elector
who shall receive any gift or reward
for his vote, in meat, drink, moneys or
otherwise, shall forfeit his right to elect
at that time, and suffer such other pen
atty as the law shall direct: and any
person who shall directly or indirectly,
give, promise, or bestow, any such re-
wards to be elected, shall thereby be
rendered incapable to serve for the en-
suing year, and be subject to such fur
Their punishment as future Legislature
shall direct.
1t is self evident that no person who
openly violates provision of the Con-
stitution, in seeking an office, ought to
hold that Office. And with the present
feeling over the State we do not be-
iieve that any one will.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1910-03-11

The Register would like to know Mr..
Meade's position on the Corrupt Prac-
tices Act" 1t is unquestionably one of
the main issues of the campaign. Nor
do we believe any candidate will be
elected Governor unless he places him
self upon this platform.
We would also like to know what is
the opinion of the Burlington Evening
News upon this question.

Maple Sugar Making Under Way
JUvENILI

=
George w. Adams, of Stowe sent new
maple syrup to market Friday. The
lot made about six gallons. Farmers
hereabout are a good deal mixed on the
sugar season. Some have tapped and
sap runs in warm places but others think
there will be several weeks of cold
weather yet. 1t is very unusual for
sugaring TO begin in the first week of
March. In record kept for 20 years of
statistics of sugaring the earliest date of
tapping was March in 1881. The latest
date was April in 1888.
Several farmers in Pittsford and Clar-
endon have begun tapping their maple
sugar orchards and they say that March
4 was the best sap day that may be ex-
pected this season. 1t is very rarely
that any sugar making is done in that
pant of the state before March 20.

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT.

| I'rom II friend in Pennington tho
News has received n letter contain
Ing the following Iucstions:
What are the principles of the
| Mexican constitution?
How Ia tho President of the Re-
public of Mexico. elected.
How long is tic Presidents term Of
| Office"
Tho present constitution "f Mexico
Is dated Feb. ). 1857, and 1t declares
that the Republic is established under
tho Representative. democratic, and
federal form of government and that
the states arc free and sovereign In
everything relating to their Internal
administrations The Mexican govern
mcnt Is divided. rs our own. into three
coordinate branches. Tho Mexican
congress is divided into the Deputies
and the Senate. The deputies are
elected every two years in the proper
ton of ono for every 10000 inhabit-
ants. The Senate consists of two SEN
ators from each state and the Federal
district chosen In the same manner as
the deputies.
The executive power is vested in the
president. He is elected by electors
chosen BY the people. Ills term OF Of
flee is six years. and lie may be re-
elected Indefinitely. His salary is $780,
900.
The judiciary consists Of the district
and circuit courts and the supreme
court Of Justice.
The main clauses OF the constitution,
with respect to the rights of men, arc
similar to those of other civilized
countries. Aliens enjoy the same
rights as citizens in many respects,
but they can be expelled from the
country II they prove themselves OBJ
noxious to the authorities.
According to the constitution Mexico
is n free country where the people
rule. but the complaint is that cleo
tons have not been free for many
years, and that the government is in
the hands of autocrats. This seems TO
be the excuse for the present rcvolu-
ton.
