COMPANY GIVEN The DECISION
IN FIRST Sk|RM|SH OVER NATIONAL ROAD
A VERDICT
IN WOMAKS DEATH
Mrs. Mclaughlin Met Death
Principally Because of
Oil on the Tracks. ~

Oiling of streets on which the
street railway company operates its
cars is regarded as dangerous by Coro
ner r. ]. Pierce and at least par
TALLY responsible for the fatal acci
dent to Mrs. Mary Mclaughlin. who
was instantly killed a week ago today
at West Main and First streets, when
she was struck by city car. The
coroner took an extraordinary amount
of testimony in this case and while he
does not fix the responsibility. he
holds that the oil on the tracks made
them so slippery it was impossible fol
the car, which was,running at no great
er rate of speed than fifteen miles an
hour, to be stopped in time by Motor
man Stewart Taylor to avoid the &C
cident.
His verdict is that death was due to
multiple injuries, received about the
head and body. In his Introductory
in which he reviews the testimony ad
duced. he says in part:
coroner's Verdict.
The testimony OF the witnesses who
observed the accident goes to show
that the deceased ran across Main
street from Hayward's Grocery with
the evident intention of crossing the
car track and entering the car from
the south side, but after partially
crossing the track. she seemed in &
state Of mental confusion and at
tempted to retrace her movements. bu,
did not clear the area OF danger and
was struck by the grab handle Tha
iNeitk ohss- ohss u = ssn IN ~:
nimous that the motorman shouted
| warning to the deceased, but that sh.
did not heed, nor seemingly appreciate
the danger of her situation.
| Likewise the testimony regarding
the rate of speed of the eastbound cal
No. 326 is unanimous to one point, viz
That the rate at this point was MOI
greater than that usually maintained
| by the city cars. There is much dis
parity, however, in the estimates o
I! the. exact rate of speed, these esti
mates varying from eight to fifteer
miles an hour. So it can not be de
termined from the testimony of thu
witnesses called, whether or not the
speed of the car was greater than the
authorized speed maximum.
"Motorman Taylor and witness Mad
| dox, also an employe of the street rail
way company and passenger on the
car at the time of the accident sweal
| that every means possible was used
to stop the car but that the car coult
not be stopped mainly on account O
| the oily condition of rails, until it wa!
! too late to arrest the accident. The
f, testimony of S. w. Hart and Gilber
! H. Scott verifies that of Motormar
| Taylor and Joseph Maddox, and alst
attributes the motorman's inability t.
| stop the car to the oil ON the rails o

their observations that since the stree

had difficulty in stopping their car
at the usual place at the intersec
tion of Main and West First streets
when east bound"

be whose trousseau is fashioned in the
home sewing room might easily own
just such gown.
First, there is little frock of pink
silk. extending in straight folds from a
yoke Of white lace, which extends out
to form short lace sleeves. This soft
little silk frock is shirred at the waist
line under a belt of pink silk. The
pink cashmere drapery begins at the
floor in front, is carried up and over
the shoulder and down again to the
floor at the back: Its outer edges fall
over the lace sleeves, and it's inner
edges are bordered with pink embroid-
cred chiffon banding. At the knees the
drapery is caught to the silk frock be-
meath with shirring and pink rosettes.

over a pale blue satin under slip which
trails slightly. The lace forms draped
sleeves like those in the pink cashmere
neglige, and at the center back the
long, lace breadths are Joined with a lat
tice work lacing of narrow silver cord.
High up under bust and arms the lace
drapery is banded in with blue satin
sash, which falls at one side of the
front in long ends to the floor.

course, not doing justice to the exquisite
colorlng Of this garment. The lavender
and violet tones of the kabe silk deepen
toward the bottom, and the embroidered
violets are done by hand. The neglfge
is light as a feather and is weighted at
the bottom by the roll of Gotten on the
hem-a feature of genuine japanese

not only OF uniform, but also Of couture

Over this uniform, out OF doors, the
correctly dressed nursemaid wears a long

that play runs very high, indeed. The

- ONE good hard facts were handed
the members of the Woman's Mu-
nicipal League of New York City
recently when Commissioner Dris-
COLL who had been invited to ad-
dress them, began displaying divers and
sundry cheating devices which he had
gathered up among dishonest tradesmen.
accompanying the display with comments
that went straight to their mark.
According to the commissioner of
weights and measures the women who
market through servants or the telephone
are robbing their husbands pockets, and
the women who go to market themselves
demand so much Of the dealer that to get
even with them he has to cheat.
There isn't one woman In ten the
speaker said. who. when she watches the
grocer weigh out her sugar, Is satisfied
to have the scales balance. She wants
the down weight on the sugar side, and
1t Is her Put in a little more. john that
drives many a storekeeper to the use Of
scales weighted on the under side and
measures with false bottoms
A sad reflection this on the cupidity of
some buyers. even if the weight of oppro-
blum falls on the dealer, who, according
to Mayor Gaynor, is apt to forget the
words of Solomon:
Divers weights and divers measures
both Of them alike are denominations to
the Lord"
Even worse than the fals;fying of meas
ures, which is unfortunately common all
over the country, is the adulteration of
food.
Just recently the federal grand jury for
the northern district of California brought
indictments against six well known manu-
FEATURING firms. while four counts were
brought against the California Fruit Can
ners' Association on the charge of adul-
teration of jams. One of the counts
charged the association with shipping
from that state strawberry jam which not
only contained no Strawberries but was
made of substances unfit for human con-
sumption.
