GOLF BALL KILLED CHILD
Center OF the Ball Had Poison Which
Boy Swallowed

Hcosick Falls, Sept. 4.-Few per.
sons are aware that the core of the
ordinary golf ball is composed oil dead
ly poison. Yet the fact is painfully
verified in the sad fate that befell lit
tie Loren Wesley Woodland. the seven
year-old son of Herbert and Hattie
Wright Woodard of Buskirks.
While playing along the rivers edge
the child found a golf ball which evid-
emily had foated down the stream and
lodged among the stones. With
boys natural curiosity he wanted 10
knew what was inside the sphere. So
he ripped /, open and unwound the
strips OF rubber or leather until he
came to a sack which formed the core
Boylike, he placed this in his mouth
and bit into it, the contents flowing
along his tongue and palate and por-
tiCn being swallowed. His father, who
was working in a field near by. found
the boy in agony, took him to the
house and summoned DIR. Van Vert of
Jacksonville. The doctor did every
thing in his power to save the boys
life but his efforts were unavailing
and the little sufferer died in agony
Wednesday morning. The funeral was
held Friday afternoon from the home
Of the parents.
A golf ball similar to that found by
the boy was sent TO the state labora-
tory az Albany for analysis. and the
sack within the sphere was found to
contain arsenic and anthony. Old golf
ers relate instances of caddies either
losing sight or having their eyes bad
ly injured by the bursting of the core
ball found by the boy must have float
ed from one of the golf links on the
Walloomsac or Hoosick river. The sad
event emphasizes the necessity OF golf
ers being careful as TO the disposal of
vermont golf balls. and Of parents

ACTOR C. NJ. CONAN
HURT AND CHILD
FATALLY
Automobile COIIided With Gar
bage Wagon
TWO OTHERS WERE INJURED
Party Was On Its Way to Hartford
to Rehesrse Mr.. Cohan's
New Play

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 5.-Thrown
from their speeding automobile when
it struck a garbage wagon two miles
from Hartford yesterday and all seri-
cusly injured. George M. Cohan, his
13-years-od daughter, Georgia Conan.
Wallace Eddinger, leading man for
Mr. Cohan's new play, Francis Xaxier
Hope. Mr.. Cohans confidential secre-
tary. and William Van Buren,, Eddin-
gers chauffeur, were rushed TO the
Hartford hospital where at late hour
last night it was said that Mr.. Conan
and the other men would recover, but
that the recovery of his daughter Is
doubtful.
The party was on the way from
New York to Hartford to begin re-
hearsals for the new play which was
tc be tried out there. They were in
Eddinger's machine. TWO miles south
of Hartford Van Buren,, who was
driving. turned out to pass 4 wagon.
The driver of the wagon turned to
the left and the chauffeur was unable
to stop the heavy machine. He struck
the horse and the car was thrown
aside by the impact. 1t struck an EN-
bankment by the roadside and turned
turtle. All five passengers in the big
machine were thrown out, but all es-
capped being crushed under the car as
it turned over Passing automobiles
were used as ambulances to take the
five injured people to the hospital.
There is was seen that Miss Cohan
was the only one critically hurt, al
though the injuries of the four men
we're serious. 1t was nj first thought
that Mr.. Conan would not recover,
but the doctors said last night that
the patient would probably be able to
leave his bed within a week or TWO
unless internal injuries. which are
feared in all five cases, developed.
His hurts consist OF a dislocation and
a possible fracture of the left shout
der, a serious scalp wound aud other
cuts. Miss Georgia Cohan has frac-
ture AT the base of the brain and mi
nCr injuries She has been uncon-
scious from the time of the accident.
The surgeons hold out little hope of
her recovery.
According to Van Buren, and the
few witnesses of the accident, the
collision was due partly TO the speed,
at which the automobile was travel
ing, but largely to the carelessness or
ignorance of the driver of the gar
bage wagon, John Gabriel, who drove
his horse directly into the path of the
speeding automobile.

AT NO. BENNINGTON POND
Mr.. Halls Strength Enabled Him to
Pull Himself Out Against the
Rush Of Water

Hiram l.. Hall, superintendent of
the T. u. Waist factory at North Ben

drowning Thursday afternoon while
at the gate house" at the big pond.
He was inside the building assisting
in removing some stones and refuse
matter from the water when suddenly
the plank on which he was standing
gave way and he was precipitated in
to the water below and directly at
the mouth of the big trunk that takes
the water power to his factory.
Just as the suction was drawing
him into the trunk he threw out one
hand and fortunately caught hold of
the end of one of the slaves of the
trunk Holding himself an instant
With one hand and realizing that it
was case Of life or death with him
he made a desperate effort and sue

Only for the fact that Mr.. Hall is
a strong able-bodied man he probably
never would have been able to have
pulled himself out.
