Hit by Auto as He Leaves Street
Car

Milford, July %. Struck by an auto
mobile as he was alighting from a Med
way electric car tonight, Henry Hughes
of Mills was hurled 10 feet and had to
be carried to the Milford hospital suffer
ing from fractured skull, bruises and
abrasions to the body and possibly in
ternal injuries.
The identity of the driver of the auto,
who refused his name to witnesses, al
though he stopped and took Hughes in
his car to the hospital was not revealed
either to the police or the hospital
authorities. To the physician who at
tended Hughes, however, he gave the
number of his car-17081 and this num-
Der was verified by many who saw the
accident.
Car 170Sl is registered as belonging
to Samuel Swartz of pa Pearl street,
Cambridge Mr.. Swartz is said to be
interested in a summer hotel in Midway
and 10 be Fastening there when the ac-

Auto Victims Body Hidde n

East Stroudsburg, Pa, July 80 Mon
roe County is aroused over the killing
of John Curley, also known as James
Corley, whose mutilated body was
found lying at the top of sixfoot en-
bankment at Alomink, five miles north
of here, by the l3-year-old daughter of
Westly Harrison, when she was pulling
grass on Sunday morning last. Curley,
who claimed to have a wealthy brother
in Brooklyn, N. Y, was buried yester-
day in pauper's grave.
Four members of an auto party, who
are under arrest, charged with the kill
ing, are said to have made a full con-
fession to the District Attorney. Cur
ley's head was cut, his skull had been
fractured, and the sole was torn off one
shoe. His clothing was covered with
mud and there were other indications
that his body had been dragged from the
highway and thrown where it was found.
Those under arrest are Porter Price
of Mountain Home, and Harrison Price,
Cushing Stewart and John Bendix of
Canadensis. After the coroner's jury
decided on Wednesday last that Curley
had been killed by an automobile, it is
reported that the party confessed hav-
ing run down Curley and then left him
in the care of John Miller, who is board
ing at Harrson's
Miller, who up to that time had pre-
tended ignorance of the accident, was
arrested and then released. When ques-
toned as to why he had maintained
such silence, Miller said it was because
he did not want to NEEDLE with the
affairs of others. Another arrest is ex-
pected shortly. Brooklyn Eagle.

AUTOMOBILE SPEEDING.

Mayor Burke of Burlington has stirred
up quite furore by having the law in
regard to automobile speeding strictly
enforced. He has met with a lot of
criticism and there seems to be the i'm
preston that the enforcement of the
law is being carried too far There is a
question about this. 1t is well known
that many cars are being run through
the streets of Burlington at altogether
too high rate of speed. From the
viewpoint of safety for pedestrians, but
particularly the children, it is only
right that some restraint should be
made.
The motorists take the position that
a strict enforcement of the speed law
will be damage to Burlington and its
interests by driving the tourists from
the city. There is, as the Mayor says,
two sides to the question. The lives of
the people must be safeguarded and the
tourist business must not be secured at
the price of human lives.
1t would seem that liberal interpre-
tation of the law would give justice to
all. And by this we mean using COM
mon sense. But automobile speeding
at reckless pace must be stopped and
when it is done the motorist can have nc
complaint to make if he is brought up
in court and fined.
1t is all right to favor the summer
visitors to Burlington who come in auto.
mobiles but they should not be allowed
to run rough shod through our streets
with imminent danger to pedestrians
The lives of our citizens cannot be
measured in dollars. When the auto
mobilists will respect the law and use
care in driving their cars they will have
no complaint of Burlington and its off
GERS who enforce the laws. Burlington

was treated by physician, who found
that, no bones were broken, he was bad

CUTTING THE COST OF LIVING

Judging by the latest developments,
the government and the express com
panies by means of the parcel post,
with considerable advantage to the
country in the form of an efficient ser
vice so economically operated as to pro-
duce decided reductions in the costs of
living. Under the existing policy of
periodically cutting rates and increas
ing weights of shipments, the parcel
post threatens to diminish greatly, if
not eliminate, the profits the express
companies have been repol ting even
during the competitive period that goes
back to the first of the year, when the
parcel post went into operation.
LAS the government business of
carrying parcels is developed" says
Postmaster General Burleson, 81 proph-
esy that the government will finally
handle all of the parcels shipped in this
country. There can be no competition
with the government in an enterprise
like this.
In the first place, to justify its es
tablishment, the parcel post must give
the cheapest and best service possible.
This it is doing gradually. Three weeks
hence the weight limit will be increased
from eleven to twenty pounds, and there
will be a reduction of rates within the
first and second zones, where the bus
mess is so fourishing. 1t was argued
last year that there is no reason why
the service should be limited to light
weight parcels. ''If he wants to, " says
one parcel post expert, defining Uncle
Sans privileges under the act of Con-
gress, che can carry anything from a
package of seeds to carload of COAL.
The government requires no profit on
capital invested; it can work with I'M
paralleled economy of effort and expense,
and through this great and comparative
ly inexpensive system of distribution it
must surely cut down the enormous
premiums the public has been paying
on the old, complicated system of dis
tribution. Both producers and con-
sumers will reap the benefits. Boston

Man Hurt When Auto Burns.

a travelling salesman of Albany, was
quite badly injured last night when an
auto owned by Mrs. Margaret l.. Healz

taille. Hunter was one of the occu-
pants of the car. According to a
statement made this morning by the
chauffeur, one of the front wheel tires
came off, the car skidded and ran into a
telegraph pole, causing a fire in the
car. Hunter, who sustained injuries
to his kneecap, was removed to the
Troy hospital. The car was entirely
destroyed.

AUTOMOBILE SPEEDING.

"A word to the wise is sufficient.
| may be that drivers of automobiles
do not realize the speed they are taking
in the village, or the frenzy into which
pedestrians are thrown whena machine,
often times without the customary
alarm, comes careering aroung corner
of some of the narrow streets, but that
no fatal accident has occurred, has been
merely luck, and not due to the care of
drivers.
This statement is not sweeping one,
for there are those, who take the ut
most care in driving, both within and
outside the town, but there are others,
who practice making a race track of the
principal streets of the village There
is speed limit and if it is not lived up
to, at least there should be some regard
for those who may still desire the luxury
of driving or walking quietly along the
thoroughfare of the town. 1t has be-
come common habit of some drivers to
start at the bridge and put on all the
speed possible in order to take" Main
street hill past the Brown library with
out changing the gears. If this is per-
sisted in, sooner or later there is going
to be an accident, then the practice will
be stopped. How much better it would
be if it were stopped now. Who would
risk an accident if he thought of it
merely for the sake of taking" hill at
high speed, or to save changing the
gears on his machine.
Several of the surrounding towns
have had accidents, one or two fatal
ones, and Mortified motorists cannot
afford a like experience. Mortified
