EDISON s PARTY
NEAR DEATH ON
SWISS PREC|P|CE
Auto Skids TO Edge of Road,
but Escapes Fifty
foot Drop.
Especial to the Newark STAR ]

INTERLAKEN, Switzerland, Aug. 20.
1T is probable that Thomas A. Edison
was never so near death as he was
yesterday on his trip from Evian-les-
Bains to this place. His automobile
stopped on the very edge of an Alpine
precipice, and it was only by miracle
that the machine was not dashed over
the precipice, hurting the inventor to
death.
While nearing the village of Troubois
the automobile was mounting a steep
hill at fast speed. Although the road
was narrow, Mr.. Edlson's driver at
tempted to turn the car around. The
car skidded backward and the driver
only succeeded in stopping IL on the
very edge of the preeipice. Had the
wheels gone two inches further the
car and its occupants would have been
hurled to the rocks. fifty feet below.
Aid had to be summoned to drag the
car back from its dangerous position.
A team of oxen from nearby farm
was pressed into service and after con-
siderable hard work the big car was
again in safe position. The party was
much shaken up as result of Its thrill
ing experience, that is, all except Mr..
Edison. who said that 1t added to the
fun"
More than an hour was lost on the
edge of the precipice and when the car
was finally able to proceed the speed
was greatly slackened. Mr.. Edison
said that the scenery was too grand to

view of it.
While at Thonon- les -Bains, on Lake
Geneva, Mr.. Edison expressed himself
as being in favor of reciprocity between
the United States and Canada. His
view was that there should be no re-
strictions on trade between thu two
countries. He paid a high tribute to
American brains, and said that the sec
ond best brains were those of the
English.

Cooler and Clearing by Thursday

Unsettled weather conditions are

according to Professor Wiener.
Starting with a temperature of 76
at Z o'clock this morning, the mercury
dropped to So at noon, giving promise
of a still gre@.or drop. The humidity,
too, dropped from 95 at o'clock to
80 at 12. The average humidity yes
terday was SS.
81 don't think that there will be
quite as much humidity today as yes
terday," Professor Wiener said. "It will
become gradually cooler"
When asked as to the effect of the
gale which wrought havoc aloLg the
South Atlantic coast, Professor Wiener
said:
"A storm centre to the south of us
will usually produce humid condi-
tion here. But the tendency is toward
clearer weather and cooler weather II

P. S. ASKS WHETHER RATE

To Decide This Utility Board
Fixes Hearing Here for
September n.
rspecial to the Newark start


TRENTON, Aug. 29.-The Public
Utility Commission today decided to
employ an expert to make an investi-
cation as to how long it should take
the Public Service Gas Company to
furnish data requested by the board
property.
Thomas N. McCarter, in behalf of the
corporation, wanted to know whether
the board would confine it's present in
quiry to the so-called Paterson-Pas-
sale zone or desired to consider all the
territory covered by the company.
Frank H. Sommer, as counsel for the
board, said that as preliminary the
commission would first decide whether
a Statewide lighting rate should be
established under which the same
charges might be made to each munic-
ipalityA
Next Argument Here September ~.
Mr.. McCarter told the board he would
like to be fully heard on the question
of whether intangibles should be in
cluded as a basis for fixing rates. 1t
was decided by the board that this sub
ject would be argued at q meeting to
be held in Newark September 27. AT
that time the board will meet with rep
resentatives of other gas companies and
of municipalities interested in the
rates charged. 1t is the present inten-
tion of the board to then fix definite
date, by which time the data sought
must be supplied.
1t is not likely that further action
will be taken at the meeting called for
Friday of next week, when the matter
was to have been further considered.

Under the circumstances, the
action taken postponinR the Home
Coming and Reunion tonext year,
seems wise.
I. The date for the Reunion hav-
ing been fixed for August 18th
there remains insufficient time for
preparation for such a gathering
as should be held. There IS an
Infinite amount of advance detail
work necessary to the successful
holding of such events. and s1f-i
ficient notice is necessary to those
we hope to welcome home, for
the arrangement of their vacation
plans.
Every toWn in this section has
during the year some feature to
attract to and advertise it, to the
advantage of the trades people
and community in general. Win

erick have their Fairs; SheP-
herdstown its Morgan's Grove
Meeting Berryvil1e the Colt
Show, and Martinsburg its Apple

Luray has just had a record
breaking week at her Home Conn
ing, and the influx of people has
doomed trade and advertised that
town as never before.
Phi1ippi, a smaller town than
Charles Town, had forty thousand
visitors to her Reunion last month /,
So let Charles Town next year
show what she can do when she
gets good and ready.
OF course, there will be knock
ers. There are always people ,
who, lacking in initiative and
public spirit, wait for others to
do things, and then lay back and
criticise. They usually want to
see two dollars coming back to
their own pockets before ventur-
ing one for the general good.
But. let such self conferred in

The people of Charles Town will
see to it that next years Reunion
