Struck by Automobile

Jennie Lanctot, the four years old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Lanctot, met with an accident Sunday
afternoon while at play in front of her
home at l27 North street, Burlington.
She was leading several other children,
who were running across the road, and
did not see an automobile driven by
Arthur Looney coming up the street
The little girl was knocked down and it
is thought that one of the front wheels
may have passed over her.
DR.. J. w. Courteney was called and
while there were several bruises no
broken bones could be found. 1t is not
thought there are any internal injuries
but it will take couple of days before
certain results can be known. Mr..
Looney, who had one passenger, was
running his car very slowly and stopped
within the length of the machine. The
little girl was resting comfortably last
night. Burlington Free Press.

IhroWn Out in Collision.

A collision between an auto and team
occurred Sunday afternoon about
O'Clock. The auto was owned by Nc,
Diamid of Newport and was coming
from Barton, turning the corner towards
lrasburg. The team was coming from
lrasburg and carried Mrs. Matte
Parker, who was driving, Mrs. Vela
Kittridge and Miss Clara Kittridge.
The driver of the auto turned to the
right and Mrs. Parker to the left, the
auto striking the side of the wagon and
throwing all three occupants out.
Mrs. Parker was thrown out the side
and Mrs. Kittridge and Clara clear over
the dash under the hoofs of the horse.
Mrs. Parker sustained a dislocated
shoulder and Mrs. Kittridge bruises
about the face and hands.
The occupants of the carriage stated
that the auto did not signal of their APP
proach so they did not have time to turn
out. Mrs. Parker was confused as
there are three corners at this point.
1t was fortunate that no one was more
badly injured as the wagon was sadly
demolished. Montpelier Journal.

Montpelier, Oct. 10. Wilbur Clark
the 13-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Augustus Clark, colored. sustained a
serious fracture of the left leg in col
lision between the bicycle he was riding
and an automobile on the Barre road
this morning. The youth was thrown
several feet in the air, when the front
wheel of his bicycle struck the radiator
of the automobile. He landed with
great force on top of the hood of the
machine only to fall into the roadway
and directly under the rear wheels
which passed over his legs.
The occupants of the machine, which
bore license number 1926, were two
men and two women. They lifted the
lad into their auto and took him to the
car barn. Doctor Hunt later removed
the boy to Heaton hospital in his machine
after binding the legs in splint.
Clark was riding down the steep hill
few rods southeast of the barn wher
the automobile approached, coming in
the direction of this city. Both the
driver and the boy became confused.
The heavy machine struck the bicycle
with great force. Clark was catapulted
through the air.
License number 1926 is held by ]. E.

Two Boys Injured in Auto Acct
dent.

The Eastern District was the scene of
two serious automobile accidents Satur-
day afternoon in which two boys were
injured, one so seriously that he may
die. Samuel Rothner, 10 years old, of
l20 Wallabout street, had one of his feet
caught in the rear wheel of a heavy
automobile truck and was spun around
like human pinwheel before the shouts
of terrified eyewitnesses caused the
driver to bring the big machine to a
stop.
Benjamin Simon, Is years old, of 90
Roebling street, the other boy who met
with an accident, was run down by an
automobile and sustained fracture of
the right leg. Both youths were re-
moved to the Williamsburg Hospital.
Young Rothner may die.
George Igel of 312 East Ninety-third
street, Manhattan, drove by in a big
brewery motor truck. The youth
'hitched" on behind, and as the heavy
truck reached the down grade on Bed
ford avenue it gained in speed. How
it happened, even the boy does not
remember. But he suddenly found one
of his legs between the spokes of the
left hind wheel and his body revolving
around in space and coliding with the
hard pavement every time the wheel
turned on its axis.
Igel, the chauffeur of the truck, did
not know of the part he was taking in
this dramatic scene until his attention
was attracted by the hysterical cries of
women and children, imploring him to
bring the vehicle to a stop.
AS he did so the limp form of young
Rothner dropped to the pavement He
was unconscious, suffering from con-
tusons and severe internal injuries
when he was removed to the hospital -

LOCATES LOST TREASURE.
Diver Finds Remains of Steamer
Sunk off Golden Gate.

San Francisco, Oct. 8.-What NAV
be the wreck of the steamship City of
Rio de Janeiro which was sunk inside
the entrance to the Golden Gate Feb
ruary %, 1901, with loss of l22 lives
and bullion valued at 81, 600, 600 was
located yesterday by Herman Steiner,
a diver who made the descent in l2S
feet of water in diving device which
he invented. Incidentally Steiner set
a new mark for divers in his descent of
l2S feet. The previous greatest depth
attained is said to b 80 feet.
In describing his descent, Steiner
said
THE tide was ebbing fast on the
surface but below there seemed to be
the center of an eddy where the water
was practically still. The ship must
have been carried inward until it reach
ed the eddy and has remained there
ever since"
The vessel is supposed to have torn
her bottom out on the Mile Rock be-
fore the light was built there.
Steiner leaves today for Japan,
where he has a contract to search for
lost vessels, but San Francisco diver
who has bought the new diving divice
will continue to seek the treasure in the
wreck.

Patrick Berkeley rescued

Drawtender Patrick Berkeley rescued
them.
The machine was on its way to Bos-
ton, and when at point on the draw
the chauffeur lost control. The car
swerved and before Charles Kravitz, 118
Central avenue, Chelsea, the chauffeur,
could do anything to prevent it, the
machine crashed through the iron fence
and into the water. In addition to
Kravitz and Howard. the latter a col
ored man, John Drumesque, IL Pond
street, Chelsea, was on the seat with
them.
Howard was the first to appear on
the surface. He floated down stream
and then vanished, Berkeley, who was
in the drawtender's house rushed out
in time to see Kravitz and Drumesque
appear and begin the struggle for life
He hurled line to Kravitz and when
the latter grasped it, pulled him to the
pier.
Drumesque was unable to get the
line and the only thing Berkeley could
do was to leap in after him. Follow
ing hard battle he got him to the pier
and managed to climb up the ladder
with him. The ambulance from the
Back Bay police station was on the way
to the City hospital with the pair inside
of four minutes.
The diver worked until $3.50. He
finally located the body and brought il
to the surface. He then located the
position of the truck and made prepa-
rations for lighter to raise it. Boston

THE STATE TEACHERS CON.

For the Vermont State Teachers as
ISOLATION convention. which will be held
at Montpelier during the latter part of
the week, beginning Thursday after
noon, an attractive program has been
arranged by the committee in charge,
audit is to be hoped that a great army
of teachers from all parts of the state
will take advantage of the opportunities
offered for broadening their views on
matters peculiarly interesting to them.
There are said to be about 5000 school
teachers in Vermont and less than half
of them each year attend the annual
conference-it really is a conference
for their own benefit, which is a condi-
ton of affairs greatly to be regretted.
At least 2, 600 should attend each year.
Moreover there ought to be a more gen
eral attendance on the part of the
teachers in the smaller towns of the
state. At the present time the bulk
Of the attendance comes from the cities
and larger towns, where the teachers in
their daily routine are brought into con-
tact with progressive ideas in education
more closely than are the teachers in
the district schools and the graded
schools in the smaller towns. There
fore, it is, or should be, the chief work
of the state teachers convention to
reach these teachers in the districts
farther back so that they.may receive
the benefits from which they are, in
part, barred during the most of their
year of service. At the same time, the
teachers in the cities and larger towns
will receive a great deal of benefit from
attendance at the conference, as they
will be permitted to hear persons who

FRIDAY, OCTOBER a., 1913.
A CALL TO SERVICE.

Last June the president of Middle
bury college, among the Vermont hills,
made an appeal to his graduating class
that the young men in all the other
colleges ought to hear. He urged them
to serve the world, but to remember
that the world is not necessarily the
distant and alluring city or a remote
and heather land. 1t may be a mans
own neighborhood, the village in which
be was born.
If he was born on a farm, he can
show what patience, industry and in
telligence can do to transform so or a
hundred acres of the earth's surface
into self-supporting realm, the ruler
of which by tact and discretion can en-
courage the other citizens of the COM
munity to improve their material sur
roundings and enlarge their field of in
tellectual vision.
But the college man need not go back
to the farm. He can go to the rural
school, and train up a generation that
shall restore the rural communities by
repopulating them with the original
sturdy stock, inspired with the belief
that opportunities for comfort and com.
petence everywhere await the man OF
woman who has eyes to see them
President Thomas told the graduates
that Palestine was not always the Holy
Land, but that men of faith and insight
made it so; that Assist was not always
the home of saints, but that Saint
Francis loved the poor there, and there.

ers or teachers. They can be farme s

an imagination that keeps tn goal ir
view when less hopeful souls despair
This college president has discovered
the only way to improve the conditions
of rural life. When the country boy
goes to college, not to prepare himself
to leave home and make his way some
where else, but to prepare himself tC
serve his own community better, the
rush to the cities and the depopulatior
of the country will cease.
1t is important that it should cease
for the cities must be fed by the coun
try, and the country must buy the pro
ducts of the city. They are mutually
dependent: if one suffers, the other can
not escape. But if the young man is &
true idealist; it is not the economic
aspect of the question that will chiefly
interest him. He will be moved rather
by the vision of his opportunity to serve
his generation by ministering to his
neighbors and his friends. Youth

DEALING WITH TRACKWALKERS

AS one means of conserving human
life an anti-track walking campaign has
been inaugurated at New York and
since it began arrests on the charge of
trespassing on railroad property have
averaged between 1900 and 1900 month
y. This is movement in the right
direction and it is to be hoped there
will be no slackening in the vigor with
which is is prosecuted until the danger
Gus practice of using railroad tracks as
highways has been stamped out.
Those who foolishly risk their lives
by trackwalking are not to be found
in New York alone, every state and
community has them. They are here in
Vermont and IN Montpelier Neither
repeated admonitions nor the tragic
warning given when some human life
is crushed out by an on rushing train
seems sufficient to induce them to re-
linquish practice so fraught with dan
ger.
Under such circumstances not only
is prosecution under the law justified
but imperativeiy demanded. If these
thoughtless persons cannot be induced
by ordinary means to cease using the
railroad right of way as public
thoroughfare and by such use exposing
themselves to violent death, then the
penalties of the law should be visited
upon them to teach them prudence. 1t
will be but saving them from the con-
sequence of their own recklessness and
folly. - Montpelier journal.

Edmund Gssnon Struck by Auto
While Riding Bicycle.

Edmund Gagnon, baggageman at the
Canadian Pacific railway station at Rich
ford suffered broken arm and bruises
about the head Thursday evening, by
being struck by an automobile while
riding a bicycle. He was returning
home from his work about $50 o'clock
and when opposite the residence of DR..
H. S. Herrick met an automobile which
was running on the wrong side of the
street, probably having just passed a
team on the left hand side instead of
tie right hand side. Although Mr..
Gagnon ran almost into the ditch, he
was struck and hurled to the opposite
side of the roadway. Ernest Rashaw
was near with his hack, and with
others, picked up Mr.. Gagnon and car
ried him into Doctor Herrick's office.
DR.. E. P. Lunderville was called, and
the bone of the upper left arm, which
was broken, was set. Mr.. Gagnon was
unconscious at first, but soon recovered
1t is thought that the machine was
from Cowansville, Que, but the car did
not stop. 1t was running at full speed.

FORNEY's WORK AS
COMMISSIONER is ENDED
Splendid Record OF Efficiency b
Every Department.

]. X. Fcrney, who was forced to
resign as city commissioner because
he would not allow Mayor Nichols
to appoint men in his department
whom he considered inefficient, to-
day ended his excellent service for
the city. AS water commissioner Tor
four years under the council system
and as commissioner of utilities un-
ider the commission government for
two years he has given the city a
service that a salary of $4,000 a
year could not have purchased. The
best part Of It is that every extern
sion, every Improvement has been
made with view to permanency and
the utilities Of the city are in splen-
did condition. The streets are in
the best condition in the city's his
tory and Abilene seriously regrets
that 1t is to lose the helpful advice
and the good offices of SO able a
man as Mr.. Forney. 1t is unfortu-
nate, too, that petty politics has been
allowed to disrupt the city's govern
ment just at a time when the towns
businessmen are endeavoring to work
together in the best sense Of the
word. Mr.. Forney's demand that he
be allowed to have men he consid-
cred efficient was only just and in
no other way can any business be
run. He possesses the old-fashioned
idea that public business should be
managed as one runs his own affairs
and politics should be eliminated
and on that basis has made good
for Abilene. 1t is distinct loss to
the town that he has been driven
from its service.
