Auto After Collision Jumps Dow n
Bank

Several persons narrowly escaped in
jury in CHANGING collision between two
big touring cars Thursday afternoon on
Commonwealth avenue. near Blandford
street. One of the machines continued
on its course running across the side
walk, knocking down fence and tree
and jumping down 12-foot embank-
ment.
That no one was Injured was due to
the clever work of the operators of the
cars who barely avoided head on col
lision. One machine was operated by
l. Rock, while the other is owned by
E. F. lyman, dealer, at 915 Boylstor
street. The latter car was in charge OF
Robert Willoughby of New York.
Neither vehicle.was badly damaged. -

Roxbury Girl Killed by Auto.

Many McEachhan, a seven-year-old
girl of 1888 Albany street, Roxbury, was
killed in an automobile accident almost
directly in front of her house.
The accident occurred when the little
girl, who with several playmates, had
been following an intoxicated man, ran
out into the street as the intoxicated
man made quick turn, and was struck
by the passing car.
The automobile was owned by the
Edison Co. and was operated by Bernard
Hoppe of lakewood street, Dorchester
George E. Seabury, an official of the
Edison Co., was riding in the machine
at the time of the accident.
The right forward wheel passed over
the girls head. She was picked up and
taken to the hospital in the machine by
Hoppe, who then returned and reported
the accident to the police of the Dudley
street station, where he is now detained.

OUR MARCH WINTER.

Here we are on this 10Th day of
March with visitation of two or three
inches of snow in the night, and with
the snow plough arousing the populace
at an unearthly hour of the morning as
it made it's merry rounds. Of course it
is what's to be expected, but still it
comes with something of shock, after
the springlike weather that preceded
this visit of the Snow King.
Still, there are compensations. We
have been told-and doubtless our lady
readers know whether it is true or not
that March snow is fine for the COM
plexion, which is surely boon not to be
despised. 1t is also good for increasing
the flow of sap in the naples and the
consequent production of sap and sugar.
And finally belated snow is said to be a
magnificent fertilizer, saving the farmer
many dollar. News.

Truck Crushes Girl, Driver Held
on Bonds.

Five-year- old Esther Ellen Rogers,
daughter of Ichabod R. Rogers of 8 Ash
street, Salem, was instantly killed
Thursday afternoon when she ran out
between an automobile on Bridge street,
that city, and stepped directly in front
of a heavy truck.
Before Frank Maltais, who was driv-
ing the machine, could stop, the girl
had been struck by the front wheel. The
machine crushed her head, and she was
borne to her home.
The tragedy almost unnerved Maltais.
He went at once to the police station,
told of the accident, and gave himself
up. He was held in $1,000 on a charge
of manslaughter, the bonds being fur
nished by his employer, George W..
Pickering. a coal dealer.

SAVING ICE BY ELECTRICITY

A marked advance over the customary
methods of harvesting ice has taken
place at Worcester, Mass, where ice is
now cut by electric power. The usual
plan has been to form the blocks on the
surface of the pond and to push them to
the icehouse runway along a channel,
which is sometimes of such extreme
length that the blocks freeze together
before reaching the hosting chain. The
cutting by this method is extremely
tedious and the labor cost correspond
ngly high. At Worcester the saving
of the standard cakes is accomplished
by motor-driven plant situated within
few rods of the icehouse. By these
means the services of twenty two-horse
teams and forty men are eliminated. -

4-FOOT WATER MAIN BURSTS

New York, March 8.-A four-foot
water main running under the Fifth
avenue aspalt broke at the intersection
of Broadway, Twenty-third street and
the avenue early today.
For short time the water tore away
the earth to the west of the break with
out disturbing the pavement and
smashed into the sewer running west
through Twenty third street.
Next the tremendous pressure of the
underground flood tore into the new
Broadway subway excavation, less than
two dozen feet east of the break, and
filled the subway.
With subway and sewers filled, the
water began to bubble up through
trolley slots and the temporary street
pavement of planking that covers the
subway diggers in front of the prov of
the Flatiron building.
And finally with streets and even side
walks flooded and water pouring over
the curb and into cellars, series of gas
explosions began at II 40 a. m. and con-
tinued at intervals until shortly be-
fore p. m.
AS result of the flood of water, esti-
mated at million and half gallons
before it could be stopped, and the series
of terrific explosions, thousands of dol
lars worth of plate glass was blown out
of buildings. A trolley car was so badly
damaged that nine passengers had to be
treated by an ambulance surgeon.
A pyramid of flame fifteen feet acros!
mounted high in the street for three
hours. Wires We're disabled and sky
scrapers and other buildings were with
out water or gas today and tonight.
Great holes were torn in asphalt anC
wooden block pavements and it wa
necessary to rip up much more pave
ment Immediately around the Madison
Square section east and west in Twenty
third street before the flow of flaming
gas could be shut off.

society was purely educational; the
plea was held good by the surrogate.
But the State carried the case to the
appellate court and won, so that the
society must pay, even though it be an
educational body. benefcent in its pur-
pose and praiseworthy in its work. 1t
follows that endowed colleges must pay,
and it remains to be seen what the de-
cision will be when the law is applied to
hospitals and to churches.
Will the federal government prove
itself equally jealous in the enforce
ment of the law? The advocates of
such legislation pointed to over-rich
millionaires only, and enlisted popular
prejudices in support of their views;
what will the people say when the
claims are impartially applied? Hospi-
tails and churches flourish under the
protection of the law and could not
exist without such support; why should
they refuse to take their share OF the
burdens while claiming the benefits of
government? Even our charity should
pay toll unless we admit that the State
and the nation may be taxed a proper
ton as Mr.. Carnegie gives only part
of what he means the public to have.
For the exemption form taxation is q
contribution, and no other view is posi-
BILE, yet our constitutions deny the
legality of such aid in declaring that
appropriations can only be made for the
necessary expenses of government.
There was a time when the people
were anxious to pay subsidies thai
was when they thought they paid moth
ing for protection and had not realized
the burden laid on their backs by fav
ored monopolies. Republicans haC
promised to make foreigners pay these
taxes, and what did we care if oul
government gave away the money tina
skillful craftsmanship extracted from
fool neighbors? Now that we know
better than to believe the old assump
lions, why not begin to act on thu
knowledge that immunity from taxation
is a subsidy? If John Smith knew h,
was taxed for church or library or
hospital into whose doors he could no
enter till he had abandoned his hopes o
;; independent manhood, what would h
do? We think he would kick, AM
therefore we hope to see him kick 81 m
time and somehow at the institution
that are exempted from taxation tina
politicians may be praised and ge

Woman Killed by Boston Autoist

Brockton, March Is. Mrs. Annie Bro
ply, widow 60 years old, was run
down and instantly killed at 9 O'Clock
tonight by touring car driven by j.
A. Whittemore, jr., OF sc Hastings
street, West Roxbury, the son of
wealthy Boston coal dealer, as she
was alighting from a street car on
North Main street.
Three minutes before the accident,
Whittemore had received the thanks of
two Brockton police officers for aid he
had given them in the hunt for the
murderer of the woman killed at Fall
River Saturday.
Whittemore, who was accompanied
by his brothers, Donald w. and Theo-
dore P. Mhittemore, ard by Martin
Winslow, a cousin, were hailed by Pa
trolmen Wilson and Bryan at Battles
and North Main street, where the
Brockton police automobile had brok en-
down.
The policemen asked Whittemore to
help them overtake a Quincy car, on
which they believed the murderer of
the Fall River woman to be riding.
Whttemore followed the car and over
hauled it, but the police found that their
man was not on board.
The policemen were then taken back
to the corner, where their own car was
left, and Whittemore turned back up
North Main street. He had gone but a
short distance when Mrs. Brophy
alighted from a street car and ran
ahead of the machine.
Although Whittemore was driving
slowly, he could not avoid striking her.
