drove one Of the most sensationni
races ever seen on a race course.
Dawson Great Favorite.
Dawson was n great faVorite. In
the crowded grand stand there was
the widest kind of excitement when
they saw that the indianapolis man
had a chance. Every one stood up and

CAR RAN AWAY
SEVERAL HURT
Woman Occupant Thrown
Through Window.

Arlington. N. j., May 3l-Several
persons were seriously injured when
a trolley car bound from Krarny to
Newark became uncomfortable be
cause of the locking of the brake
shoe while running down II steep grade
In this village. When the ear, opcr
ated by James Chalmer, reached the
Elm street curve. In the latter place,
1t took the turn at such speed that
one of the passengers was thrown
through Il window. If the switch at
that point had o been working 1t Is
believed that the car would have been
overturned and many lives lost.
Occupants OF the car at the time of
the accident were Newark, Harrison
and Kearny residents who had been
at Il dance ut the latter place. They
were joking about what would hap
pen If the motorman lost control of
the car as it was descending the Ar.
llngton hill. A minute later the mo
torman opened the door II shouted
that the brakes were not working
and warned those inside to hold fast
and not jump, he believing that the
car would take the curve In safety.
Women In Panic.
In n state Of panic and begging
young women In the party began
screaming. Several wanted to jump
through windows, but were restrained.
There had been similar accidents Mt
the Elm street curve, and as the fast
travelling car reached that point some
of the women We're praying.
When the car finally reached the
curve it almost c%areened, but straight
ened down again and continued down
the incline to the level of the street.
AS the heavy vehicle swung to one
side on the curve the trolley pole slid
off. The jar sent the passengers
whirling about. Miss Gertrude Reed
of Kearny was thrown clear through
the window. She was picked up later
with II fracture of the left shoulder
and suffering from internal injuries.
Names of Injured.
OF those injured the police got the
following names:
Gertrude Reed, Kearny; left shout

Autocracy and Drunkenness.

and Ut is said) the most splendid restau-
rants. Vodka serves for the rest
According to the report OF a recent CON
gress of pathology at Moscow. the drink
habit has extended down through the
youth to the very children:
They all drink, the students. the collie
gIans, and even the pupils Of the primary
schools. There are great number or al
coholics among children OF from seven To
ten years Of age. In the government o.
Perm all the students IN the primary

In Livonia, 72 per cent Of the school chill

It Is not simply that dreadful things are

free America. II is rather the psychology

psychological effect OF democracy. Tho
cynic may say. IL he likes that a common
