The more the city is improved and

the contrast. What else can Pensacola
do? The answer is easy. Pensacola
can, and should, put the saloon out of

at last vanquished the foe-cut off the

their well earned reward. The county

ISOLATED with The Pensacola Journal
as society editor and later in the
advertising department, has accepted
a position on the staff of Mobiles new
afternoon paper, the Post. The much
abused adjectives brilliant and
"forcefuP' are precisely appropriate in
describing both the personality and
the newspaper work of Miss Burnham,
and her special Sunday articles in The

real literature, vivid and colorful and
throbbing with rare vitality. She Is
a picturesque, versatile and capable
young woman with so much indivfd-

never forget her. Her pals of the

that she will make good in Mobile

RUNS DOWN BABE.
Two.Year-Old Girl in Hospital
with Fractured Skull May
Not Live,

Beverly, July Mrs. Alice Pierce,
divorced wife of TON" Pierce of Tops
field, ran down the two-year- daugh-
ter of Benjamin Holden of North Bev-
erly on Dodge street, near Conant
street late this afternoon as she was
driving her runabout past street car
from which the child had alighted. At
the Beverly Hospital the child is not
expected to live. Her skull is frac-
tured.
Bystanders differ slightly as to how
the accident happened, but all agree
that the girl in the path of the ma
chine, became confused and dazed and
did not move to right or left to avoid
the car. Mrs. Pierce stopped the ma
chine and helped lift the child into it,
and then drove to the hospital with all
speed.
Mrs. Holden and her daughter were
just getting off the street car at Conant
street. The child, according to some
witnesses, saw her father and started
to run toward him when she noticed the
oncoming automobile and faltered long
enough to be struck.
No police action was taken as a result
of the accident, but Mis-. Pierce gave
her name to the officers. She announced
herself as Mrs. Alice Pierce and sale
she had country estate at Proctor's
Crossing, Peabody.

Son of Mrs. Vanderbilt Killed in
Auto

West Hampton, L. l., July q
Samuel Stevens Sands, son of Mrs.
William X. Vanderbilt, ST., by her first
marriage, was crushed to death her.
early this evening in the overturning
of his racing car which he was driving
from Manhattan to his summer home
at Southampton. The capsizing of the
machine was caused by the bursting of
a tire, just as the burs ting Of a tire
overturned the machine and caused the
death of his brother, George Winthrop
Sands, outside of Paris five years ago
this month.
This evenings accident occurred
where motorists make the turn from
the South country road to the Old Mill
road, which is the principal avenue of
travel between West Hampton and
West Hampton beach, Mr.. Sands,
who was driving out alone at high
speed, slackened the pace somewhat as
he took the turn into the highway. He
was just straigt tening out to streak off
down the Old Mill road when he had to
swerve sharply to dodge the machine of
Horace S. Rumsey of st. Louis.
AS he swerved the rear wheels skidded
on the well oiled road and just at this
moment one of the front tires blew out.
Over went the machine, with Sands
pinned under it. The report of the
bursting tire sounded like pistol shot
along the highway and brought string
of automobiles slowing up to the side
of the wreck, while persons on foot
crowded forward to see what had hap
pened and to lend hand in righting the
capsized machine.
A dozen strong arms were soon tug
ging at the heavy racing car, but ever
before they had it lifted, they saw thai
Sands had been injured past all re
covery. The overturning had come Sc
quickly that h" had had no time to looser
his grip upon the steering wheel or t.
free himself from the barricade it con
stituted.

TWO KILLED IN JOY RIDE.
Speeding Car Turns Turtle in
East Dedham.

A mania for speed and defective tire
cost the lives of two men, fatally in
jured two more and seriously injured
two others, when a big six-cylinder
automobile travelling eighty miles an
hour turned turtle on Bussey street,
East Dedham.
The car containing six passengers
was taking the slight curve out of
Tracey square at top speed. Suddenly
an inner tube of rear tire blew out
and the car was thrown high into the
air in full sight of half dozen witness
ses. Once in the air the heavy machine
with its human freight dived down,
radiator foremost, to the street, grind
ing two of the merrymaking riders
beneath it and injuring the rest.
For time it balanced head foremost
in the middle of the road then slowly
toppled over one of the riders, Charles
Parker, taking advantage of the ma
chimes momentary hesitation to leap
and escaped with minor bruises.
When the spectators had rolled the
machine from the road the lifeless
bodies of George B. Daily and John P.
Delaney were found beneath it, while.

HERO OF SPEEDWAY KILLED
Harry Knight. Famous Autoist,
Meets Shocking Fate.

Columbus, O., July 4. Harry c.
Knight of Indianapolis, the "hero of
indianapolis speed" was almost in
stantly killed here this afternoon when
his front wheel drive car blew a right
rear tire and turned turtle on the 10th
lap of the 200-mle automobile race
given under the auspices of the Column
bus Automobile association.
Milton Michaelis of Cloves, N. NJ,
Knights mechanician, died at the hos
pital early this evening. He had suf-
fered a fractured skull and conclusion
of the brain.
Knight had been out of the race for
80 minutes because of engine trouble
and had just re-entered at 70 miles an
hour when the accident occurred
Johnny jenkins of Springfield, o.,
was following knight at a short distance
and, according to some of the witnesses,
ran over Knights body which had fallen
to the track.
Knights head was badly smashed
and the top part torn off. His legs
were driven to his arm pits and the
remainder of the body badly mutilated
The accident occurred almost imme-
diately in front of the grandstand and
was witnessed by thousands of specta-
tors. Knight was % years of age. He
gained the title of ''hero of the Indian
apolis speedway" several years ago
when he smashed into a brick wall in
preference to running down driver
who had been thrown from his car to
the track.

said in part 1:

said in part:
what is needed is the thorough
roofing out of the conditions which
brought about the dreadful state of
affairs in the West Virginia bituminous
fields. In that region we see in actual
operati on the over competitive condi-
tons to which advocates of the new
freedom would have US return under
the impression that they offer panacea
for all our ills.
under the pressure of an unen-
lightened capitaistic opinion, the West
Virginian courts have rendered decis-
ions-in strict accordance with the
principles of the new freedom which
themselves serve as the most striking
object lessons of the need of the wide
spread application of Progressive prin-
ciples. In the district where the riot
ing has occurred the employing opera
tors have endeavored to keep the miners
in state of practical serfage by the
use of the company stores. This fact
has been recognized and the practice
forbidden in most civilized countries;
in England, for instance, legislation was
passed forbidding this practice more
than seventy years ago. The West
Virginia legislature did its duty by
passing laws requiring the cash payment
of wages, and prohibiting persons and
corporations engaged in mining and
manufacture from selling any merchan-
disc or supplies from stores to their
employees at a greater percentage of
profit than to outsiders. These laws
were contested in the courts as uncon-
stitutional.
LAS whole the West Virginia court
has declared that they were ineffective,
as in contravention of the Constitution.
The court explicitly states that con-
; tract for labor is property, thereby
putting the life blood of men, women
and children on a level with the COM
modties they produce. -

No change will be made by the met

Beach reservation between II a. m. and

the commission after public hearing
of the petition of Francis H. Hurtubis
or the National Automobile Association
for the abolition of this rule. There
was a decision of sentiment among the
MOTOR SITS, and the Safe Roads Automo-
bile A ISOLATION, the Highway Safety
League and the Massachusetts Auto
mobile Association opposed change.
The suggestion that the reservation be
made oneway street for automobiles
during the hours in which automobile
traffic now barred was made at the
hearing by Senator Claude l.. Allen of
Melrose. Chairman.W Walter c. White IF
the Revere selectmen joined in recon-
mending this modification of the rule.
George H. Power, who appeared for
the petitioner in the absence of Mr..
Hurtubis, who is engaged before the SUI
preme court at Portland, read letter
from the latter suggesting several modi-
ficatons. He would fix the maximum
speed on the restricted portion at 10
miles an hour, give the police greater
control and require the automobiles to
go in single line without passing. He
would restrict pedestrians in crossing
the boulevard to the cross streets where
officers are stationed.
Mr.. Power said that the crowds at
Revere are orderly and there is little
occasion for crossing the boulevar eX-
cept at the street corners, and none for
children playing there. He had visited
the reservation on June 20, he said, and
found that conditions on Revere street
were far more dangerous.

said that Ocean avenue, which has
been closed by the selectmen, should
also be one-way street for returning

selectmen opposed the abolition of the
rule unless some modification is made
He was willing that Ocean avenue be
made one-way street for automobile:
if the park commission would agree t

To adopt this plan, Mr.. White said
