WASHINGTON HEARS CLOCK
BEAT IN PARIS.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-Three weeks
of patient experimentation eliminated
in success last night when the United
States naval observatory here heard the
beats of the Paris observatory clock as
transmitted by radio signals from the
Eiffel tower to the great navy radio
STATEN at Arlington. The beats"
were compared with those of the Wash
ington clock for some minutes by the
method of condolences.
The American and French commits
sioners, who are conducting these ex-
periments to determine the difference
in longitude between Paris and Wash
ington and the velocity of propagation
of radio signals through space, were
greatly encouraged by their success.
They announced today that the season
of the year when atmospheric condi-
tons are best for radio work is now
coming on and that their work will pro-
coed as planned.

Granite Sheds Destroyed by Fire.

Fire, which started from source as
yet unknown shortly before one o'clock
Sunday morning, wiped out the large
stone shed of the Lowe-Mercer company
at Montpelier and caused loss estimated
at SIG, 900. A general alarm at 1858 sum-
moned the entire local department to
the scene but such Roadway had the
flames gained that all attempts to save
the long wooden structure were futile.
Chief w. A. Pattee ordered his men to
direct their efforts towards saving the
adjacent plant of Bonazzi & Bonazzi and
the wooden Pioneer bridge. Thousands
OF dollars worth of rough and finished
stock and monuments were destroyed
together with tools, derrick, power
equipment, plans and specifications. All
that is left of the plant is part of the
northerly end of the building, the small
wooden Office and mass of charred tim
bers, twisted iron and steel and tons of
spoiled granite.

Two Touring Cars Have Fracas
in Back Bay.

Two touring cars which crashed in a
head-on collision Sunday afternoon
at Commonwealth avenue and Exeter
street, in the Back Bay, led to the cir
culation of story that several persons
had been injured, and number of tel
ephone calls were sent to hospitals for
ambuances as a result
One machine was owned and operated
by Arthur w. Hoe, living at 152 West
Eighty-sixth street, New York. He is
said to be related to the famous press
manufacturers. This machine was
badly damaged. One forward wheel
was snapped off at the axle and rolled
to the gutter before stopping. Both
automobiles were driven to Boston Sat
urday for the. Harvard Y ale game.
The other automobile was owned and
operated by William T. Becker Of The
Cloister, New Haven, and escaped with
slight damage, considering the force
with which the two machines got to-

Auto With Yale Hooters Crashes
into Wreckaae.

Worcester, Nov. %. Joseph Russell,
25 years old, of q Alvarado avenue,
Worcester, and Mrs. Alexander of May
nard were both seriously hurt in an
automobile accident at Bartlett Corner,
Northboro, late this afternoon. Russell
was iding a motorcycle and was on his
way toward Boston when an automo-
bile which contained Mrs. Sarah Alex
ander and Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Lowell
of Maynard, coming towards Worcester
rounded the corner and ran into Rus
sell.
The accident had hardly occurred
more than five minutes when F. l..
Chambers of New York, Yale student
who was returning from the Harvard
Yale game also rounded the corner and
ran into the wreck. Chambers had five
other Yale students in the automobile
with him.
When the debris was cleared it was
discovered that Russell was suffering
from conclusion of the brain, a crushed
right foot and decorations of the fore
head and scalp.
Russell was brought to the Worcester
City hospital, where he lies in a serious
condition. Mrs. Alexander was hurled
from her machine and suffered from a
dislocated right knee, broken hip and
cuts in the face and forehead.
The motorcycle owned by Russell was
smashed to pieces, and the hood and
front of the automobile driven by Cham
bers was so badly wrecked that the oc-
cupants were forced to abandon the car
and ride to Worcester.

Charles w. Gates Advocated by a
Progressive Republican,"
Cand date for Governor.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
A group of men were talking here the
other day, and it was the sentiment of
all that, if you want a man who will
do more to get Progressives and Repub.
licans together than any other. nominate
Charles w. Gates, our wide-awake, up
to-date and efficient road commissioner.
Progressives in this vicinity would sup
port Gates. He is progressive enough to
suit any reasonable man and yet safe
and sane in handling public affairs. A
governor has to deal with men and his
success in managing road work and
securing legislation to aid that work
shows his relations with the Legislature
would be smooth and helpful.
Some say we cannot spare Gates as
State superintendent, but he would not
be wholly lost to our roads if governor,
and he has the work well organized as
well as aids who would make good com
missioners.
If you want an enthusiastic campaign
and one that will re-unite the Republi-
can party, nominate Gates who has a

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
tiltering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
shoul receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more rich heavy
food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more work than Nature intended. Evil
dence of kidney trouble, such as lame
back, annoying bladder troubles, smart
ing or burning, brick-dust or sediment,
sallow complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak or irregular heart action, warns
you that your kidneys require help i'm.
med lately to avoid more serious trouble.
Many physicians claim that an herbal
medicine containing no minerals er OPT
ates has the most healing influence. An
ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root

AUTO CRASH FATAL.
M achines Come Together Head
On and Four Die.

New York, Nov 90 Thomas F.
Denny, Democratic member of the As
sembly, from the 10Th District, Leonard
Cohen, a dress goods manufacturer and
prominent in Tammany circles and two
well dressed young women lay dead ir
the morgue today, victims of an auto
mobile crash in the Bronx. All met
instant death early this morning in a
head-on collision between Cohen's car
and the car of Bert l. Rich, a garage
owner, operated by Jeremiah Mahoney,
chauffeur He was held on a technical
charge of homicide,
Richard Rogers, negro chauffeur of
the Cohen car, was bruised and of the
four occupants of the Rich machine
three were injured, but none fatally.
Rich was badly shaken up, young
woman companion, Estelle Norton, was
so badly bruised that she was rushed to
hospital and Mahoney, the chauffeur,
had knee crushed. William Morris, a
lawyer, was unscathed.
One of the women wore a ring in
scribed IS. A. D." Testimony taken
by coroner showed that the members
of the Rich automobile party started
out from Manhattan yesterday after
noon and went to Larchmont for dinner.
They started back about midnight and
the car swung into Pelham Parkway in
the Bronx, going west, at a high clip.
The Cohen automobile was eastbound,
running, according to the negro chauf-
feur, at about % miles an hour The
Rich car put on speed to pass a car be-
tween it and the Cohen car, and swerv-
ing back into the road center, the chauf-
feur, blinded by the headlights, dashed
straight into the approaching cars
front The impact was terrific. The
Cohen car described a semi-circle and
landed in two heaps, chassis and ton
neau, separated. The negro chauffeur
alone rose from the wreck The Rich
car, rebounding nearly 100 feet, was
reduced to wreckage, and the car be-
tween the two, operated by Joseph
Flaum, a chauffeur, was sideswiped and
the mudguards ripped off. The passen-
gers, two young women and two young
men, were not seriously hurt,
Conrad Loos, later identified one of
the women's bodies as that of his wife,
Mamie. "She went riding with Mr..
Cohen last night" he said. HE was
friend of ours" A daughter of Loos
said she thought the other woman
was Helen Schaeffer, friend of her
mothers.
Miss Schaeffer's brother, Walter,
later confirmed this identification. He
said that his sister was 20 years old
and worked as saleswoman in this
city.

ORANGE CROP ON THE MOVE.

The orange season has opened. Re-
ports from growers and shippers in
Florida are to the effect that the crop
this winter should be almost as great
as last years output, which was the
largest in Florida's history. 1t is ex-
pected that not less than 10000, 900
boxes of oranges and grapefruit will be
sent North.
California, too, will ship millions of
boxes eastward. 1t will be remem-
bered that most of the California crop
was killed just at the beginning of the
season a year ago, and that all that
prevented an orange famine was the
tremendous crop grown in Florida
Those orchards that were not entirely
killed will produce good crops this year,
it is reported, but the California crop
as whole will not be up to the maxi
mum. The tremendous output of tlori-
da, however, will more than offset any
shortage of California fruit, providing
the peninsula State is not visited by
killing frosts.
There has been great change in the
orange shipping and growing industry
in Florida and California in recent
years, because of the development of
the growers and shippers associations.
These organizations have become so
efficient that they have been copied all
over the country. Not many years
ago one or two shippers in Florida
could ruin the reputation af an entire
district by sending out unripe or poor
fruit, and wholesalers had to take
chances on their receipts. Now, how
ever, the fruit is practically certified
as to quality by the shipping associa-
ton that handles it. The grower does
not pack his own crop, so there is nc
incentive to put inferior fruit in box.
Every box bears the label of the Flo~i-
da citrus exchange which guarantees
to make good any defects in the fruit
it contains. There is a system OF
checking up the boxes which places
responsibility, and as every packer
knows he will be held to account fol
anything wrong, he is careful that
every box is properly filled with ripe
wholesome fruit.

DRUNKEN CHAUFFEURS.

When an automobile driver is con-
victed of operating his car while in an
intoxicated condition the law provides
that his license shall be suspended or
his certificate of registration revoked
upon the recommendation of the trial
court" Yet of so drivers convicted in
the State on this charge, only nine have
been thus punished, of whom only three
were drivers in New York city, where
most of the convictions were obtained.
This is an extraordinary showing of
leniency on side of the automobile
law where its enforcement should be
strictest. The figures have more
sinister aspect than the periodical COM
pilations of statistics of automobile
accidents, for they disclose a lack of
effort to remove predisposing cause
of accidents
Suspending sentence on a chauffeur
convicted of drunkenness, for that is
what the neglect to revoke his license
amounts to, may be at times justified
in the case of first offenders. But the
disproportion between convictions and
penalties indicates disposition to treat
intoxicated chauffeurs with considera-
ton that by no means promotes automo-
bile safety. New York World.
