gpubllc Opinion
Letter from Mr. scOtt.
Insmore, April ao, 1911.

The Reveille:
Like some of my good friends,
there is no comparison between
my love for God and man. So
there is no probability of violating
the commandment which says,
"Thou shalt have no other God
before me-" but can hold Gov
ernor Vardaman up, and at the
same time keep the commandment.
R. E. SCOTT.

WOMAN'S NARROW ESCAPE
Thrown Out of Auto with Two Sis
Iters-One of Party Hurt.

London, Aug. 5.--Samuel Untermyer
spent few days here this week, hav-
ing run over from Carlsbad on business.
Mrs. Untermyer rejoins him at Baden
Baden. She and her two sisters and
two nieees had a narrow escape in
Switzerland recently while motoring
between Interlaken and Lucerne. AS
they were descending a steep decline an
axle broke and the car ran into ditch,
being brought to stop by contact with
the memorial which had been erected to
mark the spot where a terrible motor
accident occurred last year. The women
were thrown out, but only one peraon
was hurt, Mrs. Untermyer's maid, one
of whose ribs was broken. Boston

TWO WOMEN KILLED.
Young Man, Fatally Hurt, Was
Teaching His Betrothed to
Run an Auto.

Cleveland, Ohio, Monday. - Two
women were killed and a man injured,
probably fatally, when an Erie passen-
ger train, running sixty miles an hour,
struck an automobile on a crossing at
North Randall, fifteen miles south of
here, late today.
The dead are Miss Louise Snow, aged
twenty-one, Cleveland, and Miss Mar
garet fuller, of Chicago, aged twenty
who was visiting Miss Snow. Donald
French, the driver, and son of a Cleve-
land business man, sustained broken
shoulder and serious internal injuries.
The body of Miss Snow was wedged
in the pilot and carried a quarter of a
mile. Miss Tuller's body was burned in
the wreckage, which took fire.
Eye-witnesses say Mr.. French was
teaching Miss fuller to run the ma
chine. 1t is thought she became con-
fused at sight of the train and tried to
cross the tracks ahead of it.
Miss fuller was the daughter of DR..
R. B. fuller, and was regarded as an
artist of prom Use. She had been a stu
dent at the Chicago Art Institute for
the last two years. New York Herald

MISS MUM IN AUTO CRASH
Prominent Washington Girl Runs
Runabout Into Post.

Manchester y-the-Sea August e.
Miss Gladys Mum of Washington, an
intimate friend of the Roosevelts and
the Vandervilts narrowly escaped in
jury, if not death, yesterday, while
driving her runabout at West Man
chester. The car was demolished after
it had smashed gatepost in front of
the summer residence of Lieut.. lie
Breton, U. S. NJ, but neither Miss
Mum nor her brother Ector was even
scratched by the accident.
Miss Mum, who is about lS years old,
was suddenly confronted by danger
of colliding with another automobile.
Turning her runabout sharply to one
side, she drove her machine against the
post, smashing it down and ditching
her runabout. She and Ector, who is
10 years old, chung to their places in the
automobile.
The accident was witnessed by sew
eral automobiles and others, who were
apparently much more disturbed by the
accident than the young woman her.

FRIDAY, AUGUST II, 1911.

We call attention to the article on
Return of the Corpuscle" in another
column, taken from the Literary Digest
of New York and London, one of the
leading literary magazines of the coun-
try. 1t will be seen that this paper en-
dorses the New Physics and that it is also
accepted in its entirety by Prof. Briggs,
one of the leading scientists in England,
who endorses the Newtonian theory of
light in an address before the Royal
Society of London closing with the
words, 1.-THE gamma rays and and the
a-rays are corpuscular and not ethereal
pulsations. And since it appears that
ultraviolet light possesses many of the
properties of these rays, this light may
likewise be corpuscular in its nature.
And if this ultraviolet light be such,
why then may not all light be
corpuscular?"

AUTO RAN INTO TREE.
Two of the Four Occupants Hurt
in Crash at Sea Cliff.

Sea Cliff, l.. l., August What
came near being a serious automobile
accident occurred in Prospect avenue
shortly before 7 o'clock last evening,
when a small runabout owned by Henry
Mangan of Manhattan crashed into a
tree in front of the residence of Mrs.
George Snyder and flung the four occu-
pants of the machine in the roadway.
In the contact the front seat was
ripped off, and the machine kept on
down the hill for fifty feet after the
occupants had been thrown out, finally
landing in the gutter with two wheels
smashed off.
Young Mr.. Mangan was at the wheel
and the other occupants were Edward
SEVERN and brother of New York and
friend, whose name could not be
learned.
Mangan and Edward SEVERN, re-
ceived the most injuries and were taken
into the residence of Mrs. Snyder and
DR.. Grant Stanley summoned. Mangan
received bad cut on the forehead and
was suffering from shock, while SEVERN
had badly lacerated arm. The other
members of the party were not hurt
Later the two young men who were
injured were taken to the home of
friends where they had been stopping,
and it is believed they will soon recover.
Witnesses of the accident say that
the machine was travelling at very
fast pace down the steep grade of the
hill. The young men We're on their way

F. Beeson, real estate broker of Rock
vile Center, l.. l., as the latter was
about to cross the turnpike at it's juno
ton with the Old Court House road,
about one mile east of here.
'Hommedieu, according to Beeson,
apparently lost control of his machine
and sideswiped Beeson's car as it was
halfway across the road. Beeson's car
plunged through the fence in front of
the house of E. S. Smith and brought up
against a tree in the yard.
'Hommedieu' S car turned turtle, and

accompanied by another man and two
women, whose names could not be
learned, were thrown from their seats.

up in a dazed condition. Residents near
the scene of the accident gave first aid
to the injured, and shortly after they

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Thursday DIR.
George G. Rambaud, of New York, who
was injured when his touring car over
turned on the State road near here yes
terday, shows some slight signs of i'm
provement, according to announcement
at Vassar Hospital tonight. DR.. Moi
fatt says DR.. Rambaud rallied slightly
today and is now conscious all the time.
The physicians said it would be impos-
sible to determine within three or four
days the ultimate outcome of DR.. Ram
baud's injuries. They admit his condi-
ton is very grave and will not predict
that he will recover.
DR.. Rambaud was suffering from con-
tusions of the back and abdomen when
received at the hospital. Symptoms of
internal injury developed later, and an
operation was performed. This dis
closed a rupture of a small intestine,
which was repaired.
The condition of the other members of
the party is good. None of them will

AUTO SMASHES INTO POLE.
Mrs. Endicott Suffers Broken
Kneecsp. others Injured.

Mrs. Henry Endicott, Jr., of Boston
and Weston suffered broken kneecap,
while her two children, Helen, aged 2,
and William, years old, and her
mother, Mrs. Francis B. Sears, were
bruised and shaken up when their auto
mobile skidded, threw out the chauffeur,
ran unmanageable for so feet and
crashed into a trolley pole Monday
afternoon on Lexington street, about
half a mile beyond Piety Corner,
Waltham.
Mrs. Louis S. Hardy, who lives
on Lexington street, about fifty
yards away from the scene of the acct
dent, prevented it from being more SER
ious. From her kitchen window she
witnessed the automobile crash, and
then saw that an electric car, Waltham
bound, was coming rapidly down the
grade toward where the shattered ma
chine stood directly on the car track.
A curve in the road and clumps of
bushes cut off the view of the motor
man. Unless warned before he caught
sight of the wrecked automobile he
would not have had time to stop before
crashing into the machine. Realizing
this, Mrs. Hardy rushed out, intercepted
the car, and by her shouts warned the
motorman just in time.
The automobile, driven by Harry Kel-
liner, was running at moderate speed
along Lexington street toward Waltham,
when the wheels skidded on the freshly
oiled surface.
MI S. Endicott, Mrs. Sears and the two
children, all in the tonneau were tossed
about, Mrs. Endicott suffering the most
severe injuries. They were taken to
the home of Mrs. Hardy, and physi-
clan called from Weston, their summer
home. Later the injured were removed
to their homes. Boston Herald.

NEW YORK WOMEN HURT.
and Her Companions Thrown
Under Tonneau.

Ithaca, N. Y, Thursday. Two per-
sons were badly hurt on Varna Hill, not
far from this city, when a big touring
car owned by M. P. Fowler of New
York, ran into ditch and turned over.
Max Genaske, the chauffeur, sustained
a fractured skull and other injuries,
from which it is feared he may die,
while Miss Kate Fowler, daughter of
Mr.. Fowler, sustained fractured wrist
and severe bruises.
Miss Fowler's grandmother, Mrs. E.
S. Grosvenor of Ridgewood, N. j.; Miss
Evelyn Hodges, daughter of Major
Hodges, U. S. A, and Leonard Foote,
a citizen of the George Junior Republic,
escaped injury, although all were thrown
under the tonneau.
The party was on the way from the
Republic Inn at Freeville to Ithaca.
They had been spending several days at
the inn and at the George Junior Re-
public, in which Mrs. Fowler is much
interested. Mrs. Goosvenor and Miss
Fowler planned to take the night train
for New York, and the others We're
accompanying them to Ithaca, coming
down Varna Hill, which is not mecadam-
lied. The car began to skid, though
it was not going fast, and it plunged
into the ditch. Genaske was pinned
under the steering gear and Miss Fow-
Ter was thrown out. A party of men
in an automobile which followed the
Fowler car extricated the injured, and
the party was brought to this city. =

AUTO FILINGS MAN AGAINST
TRAIN.
Aged Citizen OF Paterson Killed
and Three Men are in Jail on
MansIaughter Charge.

Charged with manslaughter, Richard
Lyone, Stanley Gibbone and Edward L.
Goetschius, all of Passaic, N. j., were
locked in Jail at Paterson yesterday
afternoon after an automobile which
they were driving struck John Zabriskie,
an aged and respected resident of Pater-
son, and hurled him against a moving
train, causing injuries which resulted in
his death half an hour later. All three
prisoners apparently were intoxicated
and kept right on going after the ma
chine struck Zabriskie.
Bystanders who witnessed the killing
of the aged man took up the chase after
the speeding car and soon Lyone and
Gibbone were captured. Goetschius
managed to elude the police for several
hours, but eventually was found on the
front porch of house in helpless con-
dition. All three men were rushed to
the police station, as news of the killing
had spread through Paterson with great
rapidity and had aroused great indlgna-
ton.
The fatality occurred near the Mar
ket street station of the Erie Railroad,
and was caused by the determination of
the three men to send their car across
the rails ahead Of west bonnd train.
Lyone, who was driving the car, is a
hackman. Gibbons and Goetschius are
walters. They had spent the night in
Paterson, and were on their way to
Passaic.
Mr.. Zabriskie, who was sixty-five
years of age, carpenter in the employ
of the railroad company, was crossing
the rails.
The train had pulled away from the
station, but Mr. Zabriskie figured he
had plenty of time to cross in front of
it. 1t was not until he was on the rails
occupied by the train that he saw the
automobile bearing down upon him.
Before he had time to jump to one side
the machine struck him and lifted him
high in the air. He landed on the pilot
of the approaching locomotive and was
unconscious when he was picked up.
He never regained consciousness.
Mr.. Zabriskie had been with the rail
road company for forty years.
Lyone said that the gates were not
lowered and that he and his companions
decided to "take chance" and beat the
train to the crossing. New York Her.
