GOV. DIX HAS 2 NARROW
ESCAPES FROM DEATH
Chauffeur Loses Control OF
Auto on Steep Hill.

LAKE GEORGE. Sept. 6.-Governor
Dix made a perilous trip on Lake
George to W%arrensburg while enroute
to the Warren county fair, where he
spoke. The governor "a accom-
panied by his nephew, Thomas
Douglas. Commander Eckford De
Kay and State Historian James A.
Holden.
On a detour over a mountain, made
necessary because of road construc-
ton on the main route, the chauffeur,
who admitted later he was not &C
customed to the car, became con-
fused and threw the clutch into re-
verse instead of low gear. The car
was on the crest of the steepest hill.
and started swiftly to back down the
grade. Mr.. Douglas, anxious for the
safety of the governor, opened the
tonneau door and jumped to the rpn-
ning-board to assist Governor Dix
and Mr.. Holden out. The car was
brought to an abrupt stop by the use
of the foot brake.
A short distance farther on the
road the driver shot into a blasting
zone, regardless of the warning of
the road superintendent. The gov
ernor was, apparently, not disturbed
by the experience.

WEEP OVER NUN
KILLED BY FIRE
Bayonne Sisters Chant az Bier
of Associate, Who Prayed
as She Died.
Especial to the Newark star.1

BAYONNE, Sept. 6.-The walls of
the tiny chapel at st. Joseph's Con-
vent, Avenue E and Twenty-fourth
street here echo with sorrowful voices
of the sisters of the community today
as they chant the Office for the dead
for SistersStephania. who met death
yesterday when her habit caught fire
from a gas stove in the kitchen of the
convent.
Resignation to misfortune was one
OF the first lessons the nuns learned
in their novitiate, but the self-re-
straint that years of sacrifice has in
stilled in them, strengthened by the
faith that has taught them that Sis
ter Stephania is gone to her reward
and is at peace, cannot keep back the
deep sobs that are heard here and
there as the sisters responses to the
office sung by the mother superior.
Bod Lies In State.
Sister Stephania's body, scared by
the flames that cut off her life, lies in
state. though in the p~lainest and
cheapest bier 1t Is possible to obtain,
before the altar in the chapel. None
of the thousands here who knew and
loved her may view 1t, for the rules
of the order are most strict, and os-
tentation of any sort, other than that
provided in the ritual of the church,
cannot have a part In Sister
S%tephania's funeral.
Tomorrow morning the body will be
taken to st. Joseph's Church for the
funeral services. A solemn high mass
will be sung, the sisters of the con-
vent and the parishioners of the
church assisting, and the body will
be taken to the Holy Name Cemetery,
Jersey City, for burial. Only a little
handful of the sisters with whom Sis
ter Stephania labored will follow the
body to the grave.
Prays as She Dies.
Sister Stephania was one of the
youngest nuns at st. Joseph's. In &C.
cordance with the convent usage, she
had to take her turn assisting in the
kitchen. Yesterday the thick cloth
of her gown took fire from a gas
stove and in an instant she was en-
veloped in flames. No help was near,
and after an Intellectual effort to beat
out the fire with her hand, Sister
Stephania sank to her knees, took her
rosary from her waist and began to
pray.
There she was found. a sweet smile
on her face, a few minutes later by
Amos Harker, the porch of whose
home is directly behind the convent
kitchen.
Harker jumped through the window
and wrapped the nun in a piece of
carpet. He was too late, however, for
Sister Stephania dropped to the floor
unconscious, and when physicians ar
rived she was dead.

PUBLIC
ON SUNDAY MAIL
GranfieId Declares Postmasters
Should Consult People of
Community on New Law.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 6.-"Post-
masters of the country know the SEN
timent of their respective commune
ties and should cater to them" de-
clared Charles P. Granield. first as
sistant acknowledgement, at the
annual convention of first-class post
masters today, when asked for an
Interpretation of the Sunday-closing
law.
THE legislation simply legalizes
what the department put into effect
gradually during the past year. Post
masters should use their own dis
erection in interpreting it. The law
was not enacted to impose hardship
on patrons, but to give the postal EN-
ployees a day of rest wherever pos
sible."
In an interview later Mr.. Gran
field said that one-cent postage for
first-class mail could not be accom-
plished until a higher rate was
charged for second-class matter.
which last year, he said, entailed a
loss of $65, 900, 900.
Postmaster Jester, of Wilmington.
said the use of mail boxes upon troll
ley cars as a means of expediting
collections had proved a greater sue
cess in his city than had been an
ticipated, and other reports told of
the expedited service through the Use,
of small automobiles to cover dis
tricts and of high-powered machines
to take the mail from collection
points.
Protesting the fact that bonding
companies last year collected $3.50, 600
from the government for the bonding
of postal service attaches and paid
out only a little more than SIS, 900,
Postmaster Morgan, of Lynchburg,
Va, proposed that the government
bond it's employees.
