CAR TURNS over
MIR. and Mrs. Earl Williams
Hurt in Auto Accident.
Thrown Into Ditch and Pinned
Down by Car.

In an effort to dodge a frightened
team and to save a farmers watch dog,
the big Olds touring car belonging to
W. T. Crosby went into the ditch last
night near Auburn. Mr.. and Mrs
Crosby, Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Williams
and the Crosby chauffeur were in the
car at the time. All were thrown to
the ground, but Williams and his wife
were the more painfully injured. Will
lians is confined to his bed today at
the Asbury.
The car was running Is miles an hour
toward Auburn when the chauffeur met
a panicky farm team. Just as he
turned out of the road, a farmers
watch dog dove toward the headlight
and the driver gave his car a greater
turn. 1t was just enough to throw the
car into the ditch below and occupants
of the machine were hurled 20 feet.
DR.. c. A. MCGUIRE was called and
mem bers of the party were brought tC
Topeka. The Crosby car was not great
Iy damaged and was brought to Topeka
by the chauffeur, who was only slightly
bruised Mrs. Williams arm was badly
wrenched and she was badly bruised as
the result of the accident. At the Cros-
by home it was denied that either Mr..
or Mrs. Crosby were injured when
their machine went to the ditch.

When members of the national Re-
publican committee meet in Chicago
on June 6, they will be called on to
decide 204 contests. Four years ago
there were 219 contests submitted to
the committee. The number tabulat-
ed this year is fewer than had been
expected. owing, it is said, to the fact
that in number of districts where the
Roosevelt adherents threatened to
make contests. it apparently was de-
cided at the last minute not to make
a fight.
OF the contests filed with Secretary
Hayward, III were presented by fol-
lowers of Colonel Roosevelt and 27 by
friends of President Taft.
There are contests from IS states.
Included in the list of the contest
ed delegates are the following: Ar
kansas, 16; Missouri, IA; Oklahoma,
4 Texas, %.
The demand for tickets to the Re-
publican national convention is great
er than ever before, according to Har-
ry S. New. Spectators are offering
$50 ticket and the convention is
nearly three weeks away. 1t is ex-
pected the day before the gathering
is called to order the coveted paste
boards will bring 500 or more apiece.
It is estimated that more than 100
900 requests for convention tickets
have been received.
There 1yill be 11,18S seats in the
convention hall and 1,078 will be set
aside for delegates and a like number
for a1ternates. In addition to this
each delegate will be given an extra
ticket of admission, and nearly 500
seats will be given to working news
paper men. This will leave less than
$500 seats for visitors. OF this num-
Der 1000 will be distributed among
the 1900 Chicago subscribers to the

Doctors Surprised at Increase
in Consumption of Sweets.
Only Harmful Influence Is in
AduIterated Product.

New York, May 31.-The increasing
consumption of candy in this country
has been the subject of considerable
comment at medical meetings here re-
Gently. According to the New York
Medical Journal it is generally agreed
that the food value of candy is beyond
dispute and that it has a therapeutic
use in certain forms of heart disease.
The absence of fat, it seems is an in
dication that children should not par
take of it in unlimited quantities al
though the only danger from eating
it lies in the fact that it is often adul
terated.
TT is quite probable says this auth
ority, that candy used to be denied
to children largely because they liked
it so we'll. The puritanical idea that
anything very pleasant must be wrong
was long a dominant factor in the
modelling of our diets and in the con-
duct of our lives. Happily for, the chill
dren, and for many adults as WELL we
are coming to look with a little less
suspicion upon our feelings and desires.
I'm the past five years there has
been an increase of s47,7O9, 900 in the
value of the candy produced in the
United States. This increase has un-
doubtedly been Influenced in no small
measure by the change in the attitude
of the medical profession toward the
matter of he consumption of candy.
1.-The drawback in permitting tbs
child to eat unlimited candy lies in the
absence of fat. If the parent is warned
to introduce sufficient quantities of the
carbo hydrates by insisting upon the
use Of butter oils in the diet, the
child may generally eat pure candy
without detriment and even with dis
tinct advantage.
1.-The sole danger of candy eating
lies in adulteration. Common sense will
eventually put a stop to all food adul-
teration, meanwhile the candy lover
may confine his palate to connections
of modest hue or to those marketed un-
der honorable Names

is COAL HIGHER?
A Committee of New York Merchants
VIII Investigate.

New York, May 31.-The committee
of the Tnerchants' association to inves-
tigate the advance in the price of do
mestic hard coal is to begin its work
next week and several operators, it is
expected will be asked to come to the
hearings and answer questions. Coal
dealers also will be requested to ap-
pear. This is the first time that the
coal trade has undergone an investiga-
ton of his kind. Henry r. Towne
president of the association, said that
while the committee had no power to
compel the attendance of the opera
tors, it was hardly likely that they
would refuse to testify. Mr.. Towne
said:
we ere not going off at half-cock
in this meter. 1t is the publfc's right
to know everything about the case.
The price of anthracite has been
increasing since 1902 and now 20
cents ton is added, ostensibly because
the wages of the miners have been in
creased little more than per cent.
New York which on account of the
antismoke ordinance has to burn an
thracite is particularly interested in
the matter"

FLIES into A CROWD.
Aviator Loses Control of His Machine
at Seattle Meet.

Seattle, May 31.-J. Clifford Turpin
fhe aviator, dashed into the grand
stand at the Meadows in his first effort
at flight fatally injuring one man and
IA other persons.
The man and child, who were fatally
hurt were taken to the county hospi-
tai, where the man died.
The man who was killed was identi-
fed at the morgue as George Quinby,
aged 25, a civil engineer, whose home
was in Galesburg, Ill. Identification
was almost impossible, as his entire
face had been cut off by the propeller
of the aeroplane and it was not until
a friend recognized a ring and the
laundry mark on his clothing that his
name was known.
The coroner's office instructed the po-
lice to hold Turpin pending an inquest.
Both Turpin and Phil Parmalee, his
partner, declare the accident was caus-
ed by a spectator, who ran across the
track in front of Turpin as he was
headed north preparatory to rising for
the first flight of the afternoon. The
aeroplane was travelling at so miles an
hour and Turpin tilted the right wing
in order to miss the man. He was un-
able to right the machine in time and
it swerved into the grandstand. Tur-
pin was cut over the left eye and was
rendered unconscious for several min
utes He is not badly hurt. The meet
was called off.
When Turpin swerved his machine it
seemed that it must rush directly into
the crowded grandstand. He guided it,
however, so that it collided with the
tier of boxes to the front of the grand
stand. Then the machine, its momen-
tum checked by striking the frame of
the stand, fell upon a crowd of people
in front of the stand.

the county hospital say he cannot re-
cover.
