BANG, CRASH, THEN SPLASH
Gyratins Machine Wrecks Door,
Fence and Itself in Speetse-
ular PLUNGE.

Bang! and the large front door of the
automobile and repair shop of Burton
& McCannon, Mt. Auburn street, Cam
bridge, scattered into splinters. AL
most quicker than the eye could follow,
the body of an automobile, minus the
seats, shot backwards across the broad
thoroughfare, barely missing a large
automobile truck and a touring car.
Crash! went twenty feet of the iron
parkway fence, as if it had been made
of paper, and down the embankment
and into the river the automobile
plunged. 1t did not stop until it was
submerged into the waters of the
Charles.
There was nobody in the wild auto
mobile when it started its gyrations
last night. 1t was and what is left is
the property of William A. Coughlin,
proprietor of the Prospect Garage,
Cambridge. He had taken it to the
repair shop to be painted. According
to workmen at the shop, Coughlin
cranked the machine to test the engine.
1t was set for reverse, for as soon as
the machine was cranked it started or
its wild backward venture.
The automobile truck owned by the
WalterPratt Manufacturing Company
of Watertown aided materially in the
resurrection of the drowned machine
A rope was attached to the automobile
under the water and to the truck, anC
thus it was lowed back to the repair
shop.

Boy Will Recover.

Peter Lavally of Burlington, aged II
years, who was run over last Thursday
night by an automobile, driven by Frank
Carey, was resting comfortably in the
hospital Saturday and his recovery is
expected. The child ran in front of the
auto and then stopped, turned and ran
back. Before the driver could stop, one
front wheel struck the child. No bones
were broken.

NEW CONTRACT LABOR LAW IS
PLANNED TO PIECE OUT THE OLD ONEI

ATLANTA has long been
an effort on the part of the Georgia
legislature to get law on the stat
ute books that will protect the farm
err against loss through contract la
borers who jump their jobs after hav-
ing secured advances of money or
supplies, or both.
Eight or ten years ago law was
passed making it a misdemeanor or
an offense equivalent to cheating and
swindling for a laborer to contract
with a farmer to work for a certain
period, to obtain advances of money
or supplies, and then jump the game
before an equivalent in work for the
advances he had received.
For several reasons it has been
practically impossible to enforce this
law. If a laborer who makes such a
contract and violates it has the
slightest show of good faith it is i'm
possible to convict him, for the state
supreme court has held in several
cases that it becomes matter of

PREDICT EXPENSIVE CAMPAIGN
EXPERTS FORESEE COSTLIEST
POLITICAL BATTLE KNOWN.
There Has Already Been Spent $4,-
900, 900, Which Was Used in Cam
paigns Before Conventions.

NEW YORK.-Now that the Chi
cago and Baltimore conventions are
matters of history New Workers are
busily specializing as to whether the
country is to see campaign which
financially at least will make all
those which have gone before look
like the proverbial thirty cents. AS
a result of the talk of a new party
headed by Roosevelt the public is
getting some insight into the ex-
pense of getting the voter to the polls
in the proper frame of mind. Five
million dollars is the amount which
many experts figure the sage of Oys-
ter Bay will need to carry out
national movement along the lines
projected, and although the sum
seems large it is undoubtedly not
much over the mark. Indeed, by
some it is held to be considerably
under it. There is no question that it
costs far more today than even four
years ago to carry on effective politi-
cal agitation, and the high cost of
campaigns threatens to become as Sc
rious a problem to the politicians as
the high cost of living is to the aver
age mortal Estimates made within
the past few days from men in posi-
ton to judge with reasonable accura-
cy place the amount expended by the
Roosevelt and Taft forces in their
preconvention campaigns at a million
dollars apiece, while the cost of in
Eating the booms of the more numer-
GUS democratic aspirants probably
reached about the same total.

plain debt, for which there can be
no prosecution or Imprisonment. 1t
is case for civil suit and no more.
In the next place this law comes
into dangerous conflict with the Unit
ed States law prohibiting peonage,
and on several occasions where en-
ployers of farm labor under contracts
have sought to enforce the contracts
by the arrest of the offenders they
have found themselves subject to in
dictment and trial in the United
States courts.
Now, the legislature is trying to
remedy this situation. Representa-
tives Bell of Milton and Adams of
Hall have introduced a bill making
it misdemeanor for landlord to
dismiss tenant, cropper or laborer
or for said tenant, cropper or laborer
to quit the landlords employment
without reasonable cause where there
is a written or verbal contract with
witnesses as to employment in par
ticular cases.
Just how this measure will be con-
strued by the courts is question,
but there are many who believe it
will remedy the defects in the pres
ent law.
