stopped his car to let the owner re-
cover the headgear. AT this partic-
uIar place the road is quite narrow
anS as a large number of machines
swere travelling at the time in the
ksame direction, there soon was a
fong string of stalled cars. Mr.. Dee,
= who was going toward Yonkers from
the shore, did not wish to lay STALL
ed for any time and, according to
eye witnesses, pulled out of the line
and was speeding past them. At the
same time the Goldberger automo-
bile was coming in the opposite di-
r, ction and, owing to the clogged
condition Of the thoroughfare, the
two cars hooked together. The
Goldberger car had miraculous es-
cape from sliding down five foot
embankment into a deep ditch, go
ing partly over. The Hudson ma
chine had Its mud guard, running
board, one light and presto tank
arrangement demolished. The Over
land machine suffered partly de-
molished mud guard, badly Aent
axle and a broken wheel and tire
torn. In the Goldberger car at the
time of the accident were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Max Goldberger and son Leo,
and their niece, Miss Fannie Gold
berger, and two children. In the
Dee machine, besides Mr.. Dee, were
three women and one man. After
the accident Mrs. C1ldberger and
the children were hurried to their
home in Perth Amboy in passing
automobile.

paired so that it would run and the

Long Branch, started for their home
in Amboy.

to the Central garage in Keyport,
and there stored for fixing, owing
to the bad shape of the axle. The
