 BY AUTOMOBILE
ING STREET IN FRONT OF ELEC- TRIO CAR RAN BEFORE THE AP- PROACHING MACHINE

Cliff Gallagher, a newsboy, aged 15 years, whose parents live at 1037 Wal ker street, was run down and perhaps fatally injured at Third avenue and Nine teenth street, late yesterday evening by au automobile driven by A. J. Krebs.
 According to MT. Krebs the newsboy was trying to make the crossing at Third avenue before a string of cars headed west for the circus, when he ran di- rectly in front of the machine, which had just turned the corner from Nine teenth street into Third avenue. The boy was knocked down and the automobile passed over his chest, breaking three ribs and injuring him internally. He was hurried to the Hillman hospital in Mir Krebs' car, but was later trans ferred to the Davis infirmary, where 1t was reported at a late hour last night that he probably would not live until morning.

ROOSEVELT OPENS
 UP ON JOHN 4. DIX
He Says Candidate Is Director
 in a Trust
REFERS TO THE RECORDS
Republican Candidate, Stimson, With What Records Show
 of MT. Dix

New York, October 20.-Theodore Roose- welt began to unlimber his heavy artil- lery tonight. In two speeches, one in Manhattan and the other in Brooklyn, he accused John A. Dix, the democratic can didate for governor, of being one of the directors in company which aided ir forming complete scheme to accomplish the stifiing of commerce-a trust against which he quoted the strictures of judge, TOW justice of the supreme court of the United States, and contrasted his busi- ness record with the public record of Henry L. Stimson, the republican candi- date for governor. From the same plat form Bourke Cochran, formerly a demo- cratic orator. announced that he will this fall vote the republican ticket.
 ''I ask you to compare Harry Stimson, who hope you will judge as governor by his record as district attorney" Colonel Roosevelt said, ''and Mir Dix, of whom his friends have to say as a public man, he of course will do the direct opposite to what he did as a private business man. His present packers announce they are against trusts. Well, MT. Dix is now a director of the Standard Wall Paper com pany.
 If you will turn to the opinion of the court in the case of the Continental Wall Paper company vs. Voight. reported in the Federal Reporter, 14S, page 939, you will find the court record says that the National Wall Paper company. corpor- ation owning or controlling a large num- Der of wall paper factories, combined or conspired together with them for the purpose of controlling the wall paper pro- duction In this country by suppressing competition among themselves.
 ''The Standard Wall Paper company was one of the parties to that agree ment. Its president, MT Julius Jackson, was made president of the Continental Wall Paper company, that is the wall paper trust.
 Now this company brought suit against Voight & Co.,, Judge Lurton now mem- Der of the United States supreme court, wrote the opinion of the court January 5, 1906, in the course of which he said in speaking of this wall paper trust:
 This union, embracing substantially all the wall paper mills in the land, re- suited in an unreasonable enhancement of prices
 And this is precisely what we might anticipate. You know MT Dix has been speaking of his regret that prices have gone up. He helped to bring them up.
 Now, friends, MT. Dix has been unfor- tunate in his part ownerships. Although he feels that the tariff should be low. one partner wrote begging that their prod ucts should be made higher and although in his official capacity he is against trusts, another partner became president Judge Lurton. And now he has another partner and a predominant partner in politics, Murphy, the boss of Tammany Hall"

MORE NEW CHAIRS
 FOR THE JURORS

The second dozen new jury chairs ordered by the Board of Revenue have arrived and will be immediately in- stalled in the first division of the crim- inal court.
 Those now in use in Judge Lanes division of the circuit court have proved innovations of no little comfort and convenience, and the new ones for the criminal court are of the same cushioned and pedestalled variety. The chairs having proved so satisfactory, 1t Is probable that the Board of Revenue will give orders for four dozen more, to be installed in the three divisions of the city court and Judge Crows division of the circuit court.
 The new chairs were ordered by the Board of Revenue at the instance of Judge Lane. The first two dozen are merely as experiments, but they have seemed to meet with the demand and the others will be forthcoming.
 The chairs have cushioned leather seats and backs and are affixed to pedestals which permit leaning back.

ANCIENT VOLUMES
 IN OLD BOOK SHOP
Unique Surviva1s of Sixteenth Century Come Into the Possession of(
 Jack Carrigan

Jack" Carrigan, proprietor of Bir- mingham's old book store, has come into possession of five ancient volumes which are exceedingly rare and are of great value to the collector of curios. Four of the books are mediaeval tracts on theological subjects and are written in Latin, and the fifth is very rare copy of volume II of ''The Roman History" of 'The Reverend Fathers Catron and Rouille." French historians of the early eighteenth century.
 The four theological tracts seem to have been turned out at a time when John Gutenberg's discovery was comparatively new, three bearing the date of the early sixteenth century. One of the tonnes is curiously bound with wooden backs, cov- cred with sheepskin, and is hand illumi- mated after the fashion of the Middle Ages. All are yellow and worm eaten, though the paper used seems to have been of very durable quality.
 The Roman History was printed at much later date than the other vol umes. the title page bearing the inscrip- tlon: London; Printed by J. Bettenham, for T. Woodward at the Half Moon, Over against St. Dunstans church, in Fleet street, and J. Peele at Lockes Head in Paternoster Row; MDCCXXIX Q729)." The volume gives evidence of having passed through many hands, and has been stamped at various times with four different book plates. "Horatio Martelli'' is the name inscribed under a coat of arms engraved on the fiyleaf, with the motto, "Vigilante ct Veritate.'
 The other four books bear the dates of 1854. 1880. 1875 and 1646. respectively They all seem to have belonged to the collection of D. M Hudson. bearing mar ginal notes to the effect that they were collected in Europe in 1873.
 The "Ecclesiasticae Historiae Autores" was printed at Amsterdam in the year 1854. It Is bound in wood and sheepskin and has hand illuminated decorations. Two of the other volumes are copies of the Opera Theological of M. Simonis, former professor at the academy of the ology, University of Leyden,' as is men, toned in Latin on the title page. One of the volumes was printed in Amsterdam in 156O and the other later edition, 15 years later at Rotterdam.
 The fifth volume of the collection is the first volume of the "Hesychii Lexicon,' ,'' or Lexicon of Hesychius, was printed by Samuel Luchtmans ct filium, Academiae | Typographos'' at Leyden in 1746.
 | Carrigan says he had had the books in | his big collection for some time, but has not offered them for sale.

 The feature of the day will be the 2:1f heat, 3-minute trot, and a green trot.
 The audience tooay was one of the most orderly ever witnessed here. The three days has witnessed but two arrests and neither of these was boisterous. One gentleman. who has visited F fairs de- cares this the best with the exception of the cattle display.

Maggie Wylie, the little Scotch wife, in What Every Woman Knows" the new Barrie comedy, in which Maude Adams is to be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday, and In which she has scored her greatest success typifies the strongest traits of woman hood. her conduct being a complete gos- pei on the meaning of wifehood. Yet the truth of it all comes out like those wonderful observations of childhood which are encountered occasionally There is such an utter lack of preach mess that good many thoughtless peo- pie find no uplifting in the working out of the story. but only a merriment that is quaint, whimsical and entertain ing.

KILLS SNAKE ON
 SECOND AVENUE

J. c. Walling of 23211s Second avenue was displaying a five-foot snake last night which he claimed to have captured in the glare of the electric arcade on Second avenue between Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets.
 The snake was dead, pois ned with car bolic acid, and dispossessed of its tongue and fangs, but was rather a gruesome sight notwithstanding. Walling, who says he is a taxidermist by trade. seemed to take great pride in the reptile.
 He said his first notice of the snake was when it tried to spring at him. He procured a stick, according to his story, stunned the snake, took it to a nearby drug store and poisoned it with carbol- ic acid. The reptile appeared to be a common chicken snake.
