HEAD ON COLLISION
East and West Bound Trains on St.
]. and L. c. Road Crash To-
gether at Bucks Crossing.

Monday evening the west bound
and east bound trains on the St.
Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
railroad crashed together at Bucks s
siding in the town of Johnson and
wrecked the two engines, a baggage
car and milk car. No one was
killed but several st. Johnsbury
men were injured and it seems mir
aculouS none were killed.
Train No. Al left st. Johnsbury
about half an hour late in charge of
Conductor F. P. Cole, Engineer e.
e. Evans and Fireman Omer Tour
geon and had orders to pass the
east bound passenger train No. 6 at
Bucks crossing. This train was In
charge of F. J. Simpson, conductor,
f. H. Miner, engineer, and M. M.
| Mayo, foreman. 1t had the right of
way and was standing on the main
track waiting for No. Al to take the
siding. The siding is approached on
sharp curve and the first the train
men on the main line knew of
trouble was when Fireman Mayo
called to Engineer Miner that the
and he Jumped from the engine.
Engineer Miner Immediately revers-
ed his engine and just started the
train backwards before the crash
came and this way greatly reduced
! the shock.
Mr.. Miner was buried in the coal
on his tender and was bruised about
his head and on his leg and should
er. He succeeded in digging himself
out but was frightful looking OBJ
ject with the blood and coal dust
over his head and face. Edward
| Wyman, the mail clerk, was work
! ing in the rear of the car and this
saved his life as the tender on the
| train was driven through the mail
and baggage car to within four feet
very severely bruised and it was
necessary to cut away the car door
to release him from his narrow
prison. While he is badly hurt his
condition is not considered danger

geon saw the danger and jumped
from the engine getting shaking

post and put on the air brakes and
| reversed the engine before the
crash. He was stunned by a blow
on the head and was brought back
to his senses by a rush of water
and steam on him. He crawled out
from. the wreckage of his engine
through the cab window and found
himself badly bruised about the
head and on his body. He was plae-
ed on a stretcher and taken to his
home when he reached st. Johns
bury where he is reported as COM
Portable as could be expected.
Wreck trains were ordered from
Lyndonville and Swanton and the
wreckage was cleared enough so
special train brought the people
back to ST. Johnsbury about five
O'Clock yesterday morning. The
tracks on the siding were not seri-
ously blocked and trains ran around
the wreck yesterday without serious
delay.

ANNUAL CHILDREN's DAY.
An Illustrated Lecture by Rev. G

w. C. Hill Given at The Colonial.
The annual chiloreA's day of the
ST. Johnsbury Woman's club ar
ranged by the home economics COM
mittee was held Monday afternoon
and was enjoyed by large number
of children. This year it was held
at The Colonial and consisted of
stereopticon lecture on tWhat [ Am
Going to do When L Am Grown Up
or What's the Use of Going to
Schoo1?" The lecture which is pre-
pared by the National Institution of
Baltimore was read by Rev. G. w. c..
Hill and was illustrated by a very
large number of views. On account
of the broad daylight some of the
es were not very clear but a
were good and were watched vii
interest by the school children. the
first views thrown on the screen il
lustrated some of the different ways
of earning living in the world to-
day and distinguished between
skilled and unskilled labor in parti-
cular. The next set of pictures
showed how some of the traits of
character essential to a successful
career may be developed and the
whole showed how much better po-
sition a boy or girl may attain in
the world if he sticks to going to
school as long as possible. Before
and after the lecture and once dur
ing it music by Madam Brooks or
chestra furnished further entertain
ment. The children, club members
and a number of ladies from the
Lyndon Union club nearly filled the
hall. The lantern was operated by
A. S. Haskins.
The executive board will meet
Saturday afternoon at three o'clock

MRS. HANSEN TOOK IODINE.
Woman Was Deranged and Attempt.

is Critical.
Mrs. Peter Hansen, a woman about
so years old living on Valley street,
attempted to end her life Sunday
afternoon while suffering from
mental arrangement. She swallow
ed some iodine badly burning her
mouth, throat and stomach and is
in a critical condition. She cannot
retain any nourishment and her re-
covery is doubtful.
Mrs. Hansen has been in poor
health for two or three years and
troubled with buzzing and roar
ing in her ears which medical treat
ment failed to relieve. For six
months past she had failed more
noticeably and while the family
saw she acted queerly they did not
consider her condition dangerous.
Last Saturday morning she claimed
that her family was all against her
and wanted to kill her. On Sun
day she asked her daughter to give
her bath which she did. AS her

BOY, INJURED BY
CAR, REPEATS To
COURT HIS STORY
Tells of Accident in Suits for
100000 Against Public
Service.

Russell L.. Philhower, of 500 Hunter
don street, who will be 10 years old in
exactly one month, told the story of
the trolley accident, which cost him
the loss of his left arm below the elbow
and all the fingers of his right hand
except the thumb, before Judge Dun
gan in the Circuit Court today. He
said he was on his bicycle June 2, 1910,
when he collided with a car at Avon
n Peshine avenues, and came near
losing his life. 1t was because of his
injuries that W suits were brought
against the Public Service Railway
Company, one for $4,000 on behalf of
the boy, n the other for $40, 900 by
his father, John E. Philhower, for loss
of his sons services and expenditures
connected with his injuries.
Former Judge Gilbert Collins APP
peared for P~hilhowers, and in answer
to his questions the boy told his story.
Boy Tells of Accident.
MY brother was training for a foot
race, n l thought l would like to go
with him." he said. Il was behind him
on my bike, and when l got to Avon
ven l saw a crowd of boys and
shouted to them to get out of the way.
They did, but l lost my foot from the
pedals as / struck the eobblestones
just as the car was coming down. The
motorman did not ring a bell. 1 was
struck by the front end of the plat
form of the car. Then l vas dragged
along and run over, one of the front
wheels going over me.
THE last thing I remember was get
ting dragged along by the car"
Several witnesses corroborated the
story of the boys collision, declaring
that the motorman was not paying at
tention to business.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRL
ASP|RES TO Be
J.. S. PRESIDENT
IAN Going to Start Campaign
When l6," Declares Bav-
Onne Snffragist.

A 1~6-year-old girl an aspirant for the
Presidency of the United States! This
Is the situation in suffragist circles in
New Jersey today. The young woman
who aims to be Uncle Sans chief ex-
ecutive is Miss Dorothy d. Frooks, of
the Bayonne High School.
why shouldn't a woman be Presi-
dent" asked Miss Frooks in esponse
today to an Evening STAR reporters
question of whether she was not set
ting a startling precedent for young
women of New Jersey. And why
shouldn't New Jersey lead?" she con-
tinued.
"Of course, 1 do not expect to make
much Roadway for years, and for that
reason l am going to start my cam
paign when only 16 years old. | have
surrounded myself with friends of my
age. Young people are preferable in
my case. Older folk might laugh at
me. I have some friends, however, who
are a great deal older than myself. One
of them Is Mrs. Clara Laddey, of Arl-
ington."
At this point Miss Frooks, who is
young and attractive, smiled engage
ingly and confided that the aid of MEM
bers of the other sex should be sought
In bringing her party victory.
Thinks Men VIII Help.
Yes, they will be of great advan-
tage," she said. Il believe that If APP
preached with a sensible appeal on
equal rights a great many men Will
gladly help our cause. l am not pre-
pared to say just no., what that APP
peal I be"
Miss Frooks evidently thought she
was talking too much about her w
personal aims, for she suddenly changed
the subject from herself to converse
ton about her friends, who last night
at a meeting in Bayonne formed an
organization under the name of the
New Jersey State Suffrage party.
my ambition is not the consuming
incentive of the organization of the
party" explained Miss Frooks, with a
serious look. Most of my intimate
friends aim to hold some kind of pub
lie office and we will work together
for each other.
May Have Ticket In Field.
at Is possible that at the next cleo
ton here we may nave a ticket in the
field. l believe that the mayors chair
could be satisfactorily filled by a
woman. Women have already been
members of various state commissions
and have also been school officials.
These are only the first steps toward
victory for equal suffrage"
Miss Frooks is a remarkably clever
speaker on the platform and has won

Los ANGELES PLANS IS: .
TO: Q own DAILY PAPER

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. GA NUM-
cipal newspaper to be owned and pub
lished by the city, is one of the pro-
posals adopted by the Los Angeles
city charter revision committee as
an amendment to be submitted to a
vote of the people. That the pro-
posal Is a popular one and will in all
probability carry at the ballot box,
Is frankly acknowledged by politi-
cans, although many of them were
bitterly opposed to the plan.
G.. H.. Dunlop, former mayor of
Hollywood, whose continued advo-
cacy of city paper finally
won the consent of the charter re-
vision committee to allowing the ques-
ton to go to popular vote. points out
that a greater part of the running
expenses Of such a publication can be
practically met by the complete saw
ing of the immense sums of money
that the city now pays to various
privately owned local newspapers for
advertising.
But the most debated question
about this proposed municipal news
paper, is whether it will or will not
print unbiased news, the best argu-
ment of its supporters being that the
power of the advertiser would be
eliminated and that it is the adver-
tiser that controls and suppresses the
news OF the privately owned dailies.
On the other hand the political
party in power would undoubtedly OBJ
Ject to the circulation of news, like
ly to injure it's Influence This, how
ever. points out Dunlop, is the lesser
OF the two evils. for at least the
people can vote in a new party while
the control of the privately-owned
dailies by the big corporations never
changes.
