AUTO BROKE LAMPS
 WHEN THEY COLLiDED.
Two Machines at Slow Speed Met in
 Franklin Square.

Only the slow speed at which the two cars concerned were moving averted a rather bad automobile ac- cident at Young's corner in Franklin square a few minutes after half past seven Monday evening. H. P. Beau sohel came down Franklin street from his home on Broad street in his run about, with his father-in law as the other passenger. He wung around to go out East Main street close to the left hand side of the Norwich and Westerly car that was standing on the square. Just as Mr. Beapsoliel reached the end of the trolley car a big touring car with a New ' ork registry number said to be S4So that had been standing in front of the clothing store in the Fay building, came around the end of the trolley. There was no chance to veer off and avoid hitting each other, so that MT. Beausoliel applied his brake and aft
 CT the collision his reverse gear. The other driver did what he could to re- duce speed. The result was that each car escaped with a broken lamp apiece as the worst damage done, together with numerous scratches as souvenirs of the chance meeting. Mir. Beausoliel was going about three miles an hour on his swing around the corner through the square.

AT THE DAVIS.
Vaudeville and PhotopIays.

For the first half of this week the Davis theater makes something of a change in it's regular scheme of Vaude vile by having one act instead of four and the change worked well on Mon day with Billy Carleton and his com edians in The Purple Widow as the at traction.
 There were ten people in the cast and they produce a pleasing combin ation of pretty girls, pretty music and more than pretty good comedy that makes up a bill full of fun for all who watch and listen to them. As the widow, Miss Falaradux has a charm that is all her own and two other cap able members of the company are MT. Smith tenor, and Miss Mollie Flynn, both of whom have sung at the Breed theater here formerly. Billy Carleton is the big thing in the comedy line and is well able to sustain the role.
 In the motion pictures there is a nice selection of interesting and en- tertaining reels.
