A touring car early this morning
crashed into the rear Of an automobile
in which Police Commissioner Rhine

no one was injured. The police automo-

When the car reached Twenty second
mitting only carriages on Ocean Park
way had to be observed and oliver
swung over into the West Drive.
This is not as brilliantly lighted
as the road proper, and the heavy
shade trees make the drive dark
er. Something went wrong with the po-
lice car, and oliver shut off his power at
Kings Highway and got down and lift
ed the hood. He did not turn out OF the
track of oncoming cars because this
would congest the roadway, and as the
tail lights were burning he felt safe
from rear collision
But in this he was mistaken. for soon
a car came down the road and crashed
into the police machine. Both the COM
missioners were Jared and shaken. Oil

Mr.. Schwenzer was trying TO ease its
pain. That was on July 8. and two days

marked and it took two weeks TO find
out positively that rabies was in It's
system. The dog was killed and the
head sent to the State Library Of Hy-
giene, at Trenton.
When the report was made that the
animal had really suffered from rabies
