THE SPEED MANIA.

Since Phaeton tried to drive the
chariot OF the sun and darkened the
skins OF the Philippians. the human
race has paid its annual toll Of death
TO the mania for speed. Daedalus and
Icarus and Darius Green and a host
OF others did their share. The three.
banked galleys CT the Romans. their
chariot races and their morals alike
paid tribute to this human character
fstic. We hardly know which is the
more dangerous. says the Charleston
News and Courier. the automobile
race or the aeroplane. Both are typi-
cal and both reap their harvest Of
death with startling regularity. The
disaster at Indianapolis failed to star
tie because 1t was anticipated. PEG
pie take II for granted that death
Will follow speed trials. And yet we
speak OF these things as accidents
How can that be an accident which
we all feel certain will happen? Rath
er II Is an accident when automobile
races are held without the accompany
ing tribute OF human life. We sup.
pose that the mania will continue. 1t
is hard to eradicate 1t from the hui
man heart. Just as II Is hard to eradi.

has been 4 distinguishing feature Of
the Teuton since first he appeared in
history. At the same time. it is alto
gether wise that the state should
take some means to control these
speed contests and to insist on the
most careful precautions.

Electric Rock Drill.

the motor to the plunger This air
is not exhausted from the drill, but is
retained to act continuously as a
cushion between the piston Of the
plunger and the motor-driven recipro-
eating cylinder in which it operates,
says the Popular Mechanics.
The cylinder is connected to the
motor through gearing and makes
about 500 strokes per minute. Flex-
IDLY connected to this cylinder
through the compressible air cushion
ut each end. is the head of the piston,
which, of course, makes the same
number of strokes per minute. The
difference between this drill and the
ordinary air drill is that the cylinder
In which the air acts upon the piston
is movable instead of stationary, and
the compressed air is retained to pro-
tect the mechanism from shocks from
the plunger, instead OF being allowed
to escape after having performed its
work at the end of each stroke.

Suicide Pact of

 CraZed With Zeal
Especial from Cr'. "a Press,

NOPCS1di HUH Ir6SS.D
 Chicago, Nov. 4-When a real estate agent went to the. little house of Henry Letch, at 5027 Gunison street, today, to collect the rent, no one would answer the doorbell A police man was summoned to break open the door.
 In the little room that served as liv- ing and sleeping room, the intruders found the family of three dead. Lit tie Roy, 12, was in bed, Mrs. Letch kneeling beside him and the father stretched on the floor nearby. Evid- ences of poisoning led the police at first to suspect crime but later they pieced together the story of mother and father, crazed with religious zeal, who entered into a pact to kill them selves and their son.
 A queerly written letter, evidently added together and jumbled with Bi- ble phrases and philosophies, told in German how the mother and father had tried first to starve themselves as a pennance and to purge them selves and die" because the world was unkind and it's churches and min- isters full of hypocrisy"
 pr. Wild Webber, who made an in- vestigation, said the family had evil dently been dead for a week or more and that their gaunt bodies indicated that they were nearly starved to death The immediate cause of death. however, was a deadly purgative drug.

Those opposed to the application of F. !. Mcclure who wants to transfer . license from 1131 Main street to AZ Gregory street, had their innings be- fore the county commissioners this morning. w. J. Grippin, treasurer and general manager of the Malleable Iron Works, appeared against the transfer. He said the manufacturers In that section had been trying for years to keep the saloons out of that section because the workmen were ac- customed to leave the shop in order to get a drink.
 Grippin said he did not think, condi- lions had changed since two years ago when the commissioners refused to 9rant a license in that vicinity. The witness said he had talked with the officials of the Palmer Leather Belt ing co. and the Crane Valve Co. These concerns had authorized him to re- m0nstrate.
 Among the other concerns which signed the remonstrance were the Bridgeport Foundry & Machine O.. the Bridgeport Hardware Manufactur- ing Co, Park City Lumber Co.,, and Deoxidixed Bronze & Metal Co. The witness said the saloons on Park ave- nue were nearer the shop than the proposed location on Gregory street.
 Prank E. Hemingway, sexton of the First Baptist church, was opposed to fhe saloon. He resides on Gregory street within 200 feet of the proposed location Supt. Eugene D. Doolittle of the Malleab1e Go. was also oppos- ed to the application.
 There were 63 witnesses who sign ed McGuire's application. Many of the large property owners in the neighborhood signed it. Twenty-eight witnesses in favor of the saloon were on hand yesterday afternoon. The commissioners will hear arguments on the case next Friday.
