Arrivals at two Of the most fashionable
hotels in the White mountains during
August numbered 4167, of whom 1924
came and went in automobiles. On the
basis of this modicum of fact the Hart
ford Times figured out IA loss to railroad
passenger traffic from the development
of this new method of transportation.
1t would be a safe assumption. we are
told, that each automobile causes a loss
of 81 a week In railroad passenger reve-
nue.. This would mean a large loss of
some SIS, 900, 900 a year for the railroads
of the whole country, where $50, 900 au-
tomobiles are in commission.

long list of tragedies caused by the
breakage in the great dam yesterday
is that of James Leeman, night

and did not hear the alarm. When the
rush of water swallowed up his lit
lie home. he was tossed out upon a
pile of floating debris and eventually
fioated TO a landing. mile and half
below the village.
Wounded and bruised, he made his
way back only TO find his wife and
four children had persisted in the
waters. He went violently insane and
his rawlings were pitiful Several men
were required to hold him.
