CAN'T USE GARAGE LEGALLY
Bay State Road Man Loses in
Fight With Riverbank Associa-

Erecting a garage on his own prop
erty is one thing, and using it as such
is another, Charles F. Bancroft of 159
Bay State road is informed.
The garage brought him into conflict
with the Riverbank Improvement Asso-
citation, which claimed the garage was
in violation of restrictions on the prop
erty, and carried the matter to the
courts.
The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down a decision in favor of the associa-
ton, in which, although it finds a garage
is not a stable, it finds the building can
not be legally used as a garage.
The court, incidentally, decided man
has a right to sleep at night and that if
anything disturbs him so he can't sleep
it is a violation of the law.
The decision has reference particular
ly to the noise made by an automobile,
but lawyers regarded it as covering the
noisy milkmen and other nocturnal dis
turbances. Boston Journal.

HURT WHEN AUTO UPSETS
BrookIynite's Car Skids on New
Rochelle Hill.

New Rochelle, June 10. Joseph Fred
enberger of 1T Woodbine street,
Brooklyn, is in the New Rochelle Hospi-
tai, suffering from cuts, bruises and in
ternal injuries caused when his 40
horsepower touring car turned turtle
late this afternoon. He was driving his
car, which contained six friends, at a
fast pace down the Mill road hill, when
the accident occurred and the car went
over an embankment in front of the
Iselin farm. Their escape from death
was miraculous. Mrs. Charles A.
Bates, widow of the horseman, hap
pened along in her auto and took
Fredenberger and two injured friends
to the hospital.
The two friends left Immediately af-
ter their injuries were dressed, without
giving their names. When the police
learned of the accident, all except Fred
enburger had left, and they were I'M
able to obtain information, but the

LAWYER HELD IN BAIL.
Reynolds Says He Didn't Know
He Struck Victim.

Montclair, N. j., June 11.-John Rey-
nolds, a New York lawyer, who last
night ran down Nathan Stream of
No. 72 Valley road, when in his auto
mobile, to-day was arraigned before
Recorder Yost on charges of assault and
driving an automobile without license.
Reynolds was held in 81 900 bail for the
Grand Jury. His bondsmen are DR..
Richard Cole Newton, member of the
New Jersey State Board of Health, and
Manfred Trautschold, an artist, also of
Montclair. The prisoner was admitted
to bail when it was learned from the
Mountainside Hospital where Stream
was taken, that the injured man will
not die. Reynolds spent last night as
prisoner in the police station.
Reynolds is a son of John Reynolds,
who was a noted New York lawyer and
the author of many law books. The
elder Reynolds left one of the largest
law libraries in the country
Reynolds and party of eight men and
women from Englewood We're in the car
which struck Stream. Stream had I'M
hitched horse from a wagon in front
of the store in which he was employed,
when the automobile went down Bloom
field avenue in the rainstorm. The ma
chine struck the vehicle and overturned
it. Stream tried TO get out of the way
of the automobile, but he was struck
and rolled along the street for thirty
feet. Reynolds continued his way to
the Lackawanna station. The men in
the automobile We're members of the
Englewood baseball team which played
the Montclar Athletic Club here YES
terday. The women in the party,
Reynolds said, are the wives of the En-
glewood men.
The lawyer explained the party was
in hurry to reach the l:05p. m. train,
and as he did not know that he had
struck man, he drove on to the rail
road station, intending to return and
settle for the damaged wagon. After
he had seen his guests off, Reynolds
said he turned his automobile around to
go back up Bloomfield avenue and see
the owner of the vehicle he had
wrecked.
Police Sergeant Carlin who was near
the place where Stream was struck,
leaped into a passing automobile and
chased Reynolds. When Reynolds
turned from the railroad station he ran
into a team belonging to George Stamp
Ter One of Samplers horses was so
badly injured it had to be shot. Carlin
overlook Reynolds when the second
crash occurred and arrested him.
81 was not trying to escape after the
Stream accident, said Reynolds to-day.

was not aware man had been injured,

the first accident happened when the

FOUR ESCAPED DEATH
When New York Flyer Knocked Big
Chalmers from Track.

Rutland, June 26.-An automobile &C
cident in which Mrs. Arthur A. Prouse,
the wife of A. A. Prouse, the restau-
ranter, who resides on Washington
street was quite seriously bruised and
cut, occurred Saturday afternoon about
4:15 O'Clock at the Hodges crossing
about half mile north of Clarendon
station on the Bennington division
of the Rutland railroad, when the big
Chalmers-Detroit "40'' car owned by
Mr.. Prouse was struck by the north
bound New York flyer. The machine
was driven by John Connell. Besides
Mrs. Sprouse in the car were Mrs.
Walter F. Burbank of East Washington
street and Miss Helen Madden of Glens
Falls, N. Y. The car was practically
destroyed and why all in the machine
were not killed seems almost a miracle
The train stopped and brought the
members of the party to Rutland
When picked up Mrs. Prouse was sense
less.
Mrs. Prouse was the last to get out
and she had just opened the door of the
tonneau when the train crashed into the
machine. She was thrown into the air,
striking on her head. She lay in de-
preston between the ties in an uncon-
scious condition while the entire train
passed over her. 1t is very probable
| that if she had moved she would have
been killed.
Nobody is able to tell how Miss Mad
den and Cornell escaped with their
lives. They were on the opposite side
from the way the train was coming and
both landed on the ground before the
crash. Why the automobile was not
thrown into them is mystery. st.

Election of Senators.

We have little sympathy with the de-
mand for a change in the method of
electing senators of the United States.
1t is true that some Legislatures have
sold senatorships, but senatorships have
sometimes been bought from the people
themselves, and in some of the States
there is already form of direct elections
which has not worked well. Statewide
primaries are provided for, the legisla-
tors being bound to act like rubber
stamps after the people have expressed
preference. In some of these States
men have been elected to the Senate
who were far less worthy than their
predecessors to sit in the most powerful
and most important legislative body in
the world. 1t must not be forgotten
that Fiddling Bob Taylor succeeded
Carmack of Tennessee through the
operation of this system, and that this
system is also responsible for the defeat
of Senator Berry of Arkansas by one of
the greatest blatherskites that ever sat
in a national Assembly. Rochester

The Auto m o bile in Japan.

Japan is no place for the man who
wants to tear around in 40 horse
power car. The roads are narrow. In
the towns the pavements are few and
far between; in the rural districts the
highways are usually pretty muddy.
All told there are not more than few
score automobiles in the entire country,
but the government, up to the minute
in its instinct for regulation, has pro-
mulgated the following edict;-
In case any policeman recognizes the
possibility of danger to car he has a
right to examine or stop the car until it
be thoroughly repaired.
The speed of car is limited to eight
miles per hour, but in Yokohoma or
other specified places, by police regula-
ton, speed is limited to six miles per
hour.
The cars must not go in rows or race
with other cars or carriages.
When other carriages or anyone
passes ahead or approaches the car the
car must go at slow speed or stop its
motion.
When any car meets a procession,
festival, funeral, fire brigade, carriage,
ETC., the car must stop until it shall
have passed, or go the other way
If any disobey above, detention or
money penalty will be imposed. Chi
