AUTO ACCIDENT
HAS FATAL END
DAUGHTER OF l.. CONSTANTINE
HIT BY CAR DRIVEN BY
YOUTH AND DIES.
Children were WITNESSES
Occurred In Front of Catholic School
Little One Never Regained
Consciousness.

Alice Constantine, age 10, daughter
of E. Constantine, well known oil re-
finery magnate, living at 6l5 South
Cheyenne avenue, was run over by
an automobile in front OF the Paro-
chial school at Third and Elgln, yes
terday afternoon at O'clock. An
hour later she died at her home with
out ever regaining consciousness.
The car with which she was hit Is
owned by j. b. Black, manager for
the Texas company, and was driven
by his son. Charlie Black, 16 years
old. and a student at the Catholic
school. He was a school mate Of the
dead girl and lived just across the
alley from her.
The accident was witnessed by the
Catholic sisters. many school children
and pedestrians. The stories Of the
affair are conflicting. One of the
Sisters who was an eyewitness to the
accident. last night made the follow
ing statement:
Charlie Black was dismissed from
school 20 minutes earlier than usuai
this afternoon, so that he could get
his automobile and take one OF the
Sisters to see a sick girl. He had Just
turned the corner on Elgin and was
driving up to the front OF the school
at moderate rate OF speed when the
little Constantine girl. who was play
ing with other children. ran out into
the street after a ball and directly In
the path Of the car. Before we could
warn the girl she had been struck by
the auto. Joe Hastings was In the car
with Charlie"
Mrs. John McCrady. Of 3lS South
Detroit avenue. saw the accident. She
declares that the car was being driven
at high rate OF speed and that the
driver did not return to the spot afeI
hitting the girl. but drove away rapid
ly. This report conflicts with the state
ment Of a Mr.. Webster who says he
ran up to the car after II slowed
down and took down the license num-
Der. He told some Of the officials at
the school that he thought the car
was being run within the speed limit
at the time Of tho accident
Chief Of Police Yoder. to whom the
accident was Immediately reported.
declared that he had warned the
youth about speeding some time ago
and had asked the father Of the boy
to prevent him from driving the car
while alone.
Some of the reports on the speed
said to have been made by the auto
at the time Of the accident place the
rate Of speed as high as IS miles an
hour. The son Of John Dryer said ne
was positive the auto was travelling
at the rate Of Is miles an hour. 1t is
hardly possible. claim automobile
men, that the car could have attain.
ed that speed under any conditions.
Tho grief at the Black home last
night wan almost as great as that In
the Constantine residence. Both fam.
lilies had been intimately acquainted.
While It cannot be stated with any
degree Of reliability that yesterdays
sad occurrence was anything but an
unavoidable accident. II will serve to
cause a moro rigid enforcement OF all
