SIX HURT IN AUTO CRASH.
Taxicab Rushing Child to Hospi-
tai Hits Touring Car.

AS seven-year-old Blanche Lafond, in
what is thought to be dying condition,
was being rushed to the Mary Fletcher
hospital Sunday evening in a taxicab,
the automobile crashed into heavier
machine, driven by George H. Horton,
and six people were more or less seri-
ously injured. The taxicab turned
turtle and was smashed into junk but
the other machine was not badly broken
up with the exception of running
board and two mud-guards.
The injured:
Charles Shepard, chauffeur, injuries
to hip and back; possibly serious in
ternal injuries.
Blanche Lafond, seven years old, eX-
tent of injuries unknown. At Mary
Fletcher hospital with tetanus.
Peter Lafond, 10 Ward street, cuts
and bruises.
Mrs. Peter Lafond, cuts and bruises.
Arthur Smith, bruises and shock.
Aunt of Blanche Lafond, cuts and
bruises.
The taxicab was from the palace
garage and had gone to 10 Ward street
on an emergency call. The little girl,
accompanied by her mother and father
and an aunt, was taken in and the
chauffeur was told to put on all possible
speed, in the hope that timely treat
ment at the hospital might stay the
progress of tetanus, from which she
was suffering and save the child's life.
Charles Shepard, the chauffeur, ac
cordingly speeded the car up and was
making fast time up North street when
he saw Horton 5 car at the North Will
lard street crossing. Neither saw the
other in time to stop and the taXicab
went into the side of Horizons automo-
bile. The taXicab was thrown over and
Shepard was buried under the wreck
age Arthur Smith, who was in Horton s
car, was thrown a considerable distance
and rendered unconscious. Horton was
apparently uninjured but all of the
others were cut and bruised. Burling-

On February IL, just before the
downfall of the Madero government in
Mexico the New York

lowers have set back the clock of po

Grafton, They have not only discred-
tied their own country but they have
worked harm to every other Latin
American republic. Even Cuba and
the Philippines must inevitably suffer
as a result of this cut-throat rebellion
THE revolution that drove Porforio
Diaz out of Mexico was grounded in
definite principles of human liberty
with which all free men could SYM
pGthize. When the new Madero gov
ernment was finally established the
fact was generally recognized that it
represented a step forward. or the
validity of Madero's election there
could be no question, and the worst
that could be said of his administra-
ton was that it was more liberal and
more humane than that of the dicta-
torship.
when young Dlaz and his cut
throats made their appeal from the
ballot to the bullet they indicted
Mexico's fitness for lf-government
They are fighting for no principle,
merely for power and plunder; and
while the memory of this exploit lasts
the political stability of Mexico will be
under suspicion, no matter what may
be the outcome of their rebellion
Their exploits will be a standing invi-
tation to all adventures to conspire
against any stable government.
when young Diaz was captured at
Vera Cruz by the federal forces it
was TIE OpllllOH VI tuc ClNl-
lized world that he should be dealt
with leniently. The strong protests
made against his execution were heed
ed by Madero and an unworthy life
was spared. 1t is now evident that
this policy of mercy was a mistake" !"
Since then Madero fell, betrayed by
two of his generals and a reactionary
congress while the American Ambas-
sador appears as very friendly spec
tator if not as an assistant in the
game. The outcome of the war is no
compliment to Mexico and it is scarce
ly less complimentary to our state re-
partment and its Dollar Diplomacy

BURYING THE HATCHET.

without wishing to be mean about
the farewill dinner which all parties
will give Mr.. Cannon on Feb. Is. it is
impossible to refrain from making a
suggestion.
The obvious object Of the Cannon
dinner is to LET bygones be bygones.
The democrats and progressives are
going to do it, and Mr.. Cannon viii
leave congress with the comfortable
assurance that all is forgiven.
The suggestion is this: While 1t is
nice of the members OF congress to
send Mr.. Cannon away in this fashion
the era of good feeling thus estab-
lished will be confined to congress.
and will extend nowhere else. This
would not be true IL Mr.. Cannon Sc
lected some representative consumer,
and gave him a nice farewell dinner.
This would make it unanimous. All
would forgive and forget.
They would never think hard of him
again. Couldn't he do this?

PAINTERS HIRE
ATTORNEY FOR
INSURANCEWAR
A. G. HamIin, of DeIand, to Rep
resent Family and Fertilizer
Co, in MiIIion-DoIIar Fight.

JACKSONVILLE, June 2S.-A. q.
Hamlin, a well-known lawyer Of De
land, has been retained to represent
the E. o. Painter Fertilizer Company
and the family Of the late f. O. Pain
ter in the fight for the more than
100000 insurance he carried Mr..
Hamlin stated to-day that the anal
ysis of DR.. Charles CHASER cleared
away any suicide suspicion. and that
although the laws of Maryland might
be against the case of the relatives
such was not the case in Florida, and
that the companies would have to
pay.
Mr. Hamlin declared that he did
not believe the report of Dr. CHASER
and the air of Florida agreed with the
insurance people, and that il was for
that reason that they wanted to keep
the vitals of Mr.. Painter in Baltimore.
The really vital questions involved
that most concern the public, he said,
are as follows:
"First-Who wants insurance that
only brings trouble. publicity hui
initiation and litigation to our fami-
lies when we are gone?
"Second-Does insurance really in
sure or is it humbug, delusion and
a snare, the policies being so cum
ningly drawn that only the insurer
is protected?
Thirds it not time that Florida,
like some other progressive States,
regulate all these questions by legis-
lation?
~ do not attempt to answer these
questions now. Let the final answer
come when the Painter cases are
settled. Only one company has shown
a disposition to do the fair thing.
That IS the Penn Mutual Life Insur-
anCe Company Of Philadelphia, which
has settled promptly. l am talking
on my own responsibility and this
interview is in no way authorized by
anyone"
