Durango and secured an officer to ae-
company HIM to the scene of the ac-
eident. An examination showed the
Ford car TO be complete wreck. One
of the rear wheels of the Studebaker
was smashed and the body Of the car
quite badly damaged. Miss Kuntz
holds that she was making about thir-
ty miles an hour. but when she saw
the other machine coming slowed
down to twenty miles and tried 10
turn to the street car track to give
the auto entire right of way just
as she reached the track the other
car struck the machine she was driv-
ing. Martinez claims that the VIII
son car was run directly in his way
and he could not turn quickly enough
to avoid crashing into It. II appears
that both parties were running faster
than they should have been. 1t seems
miraculous that the occupants escap-
ed without fatal injuries, Mrs. Will
son is confined to her bed today, bn.
her condition is not thought to be
critical. MARTINEZ is suffering con-
siderable pain, and his friends fear it
possible he sustained internal injuries
! he wrecked car was left standing n
the scene Of the accident, and this
morning a small boy seated himself
in it and started to blow the horn.
The noise friehtened passing team,
and caused it to run away. The driv-
er was thrown out, the animals
broke loose from the wagon and jump
ed over the fence, but IL seems they
were stopped before any serious dam
age was done. The only injury the
driver received was cut about the
face.

center of Europe; courted by many;
feared by many, treated with defer
ence by ALL No country has had such
a reign of prosperity and splendor.
"Yet all the time she has been dis
solicitious of admiration;
careless of international law; wor-
shipping force, and giving us all to
understand that her triumphs in the
past and her power in the present
were little compared to what she
sought in the future.
"And now the great collision has
come, and it is well that the demo-
cratic nations of the world-the ma
tions, mean, where the people own
the government and not the govern
ment of the people-should realize
what is at stake. The French, Eng
lish and American systems Of gov
ernment by popular election and pre-
liminary debate with the kind Of CIV
ilization which flows from such insti-
tutions, are brought into direct con-
flict with the highly efficient imper-
ialist bureaucracy and military or
ganization of Prussia. That is the
issue. No partisanship is required to
make i plain. No sophistry can OBJ
scure it."
/ asked whether the demo cracy of
the United States, apart from the
moral issues involved, had any direct
interests in the result of the war.
"You are the judges of that" re-
piled the first lord. "You do not re-
quire me to talk to you Of your in
terests. If England were to be re-
dueed in this war, or another which
would be sure to follow from it, If
this war were inconclusive, to the
position of small country like Hol-
land, then, however, far across the
sale water your country may lie, the
burden which we are bearing now
would fall on to your shoulders.
II do not mean by that that Ger
many would attack you, or that il
you were attacked you would need to
fear the result so far as the United
States was concerned. The Monroe
doctrine, however, carried you very
far, in South as well MS North Am
erica, and it is likely that victorious
German militarisms, which would then
have shattered France irretrivably
have conquered Belgium and have
broken forever the power of England
would allow itself to be permanently
cut off from all hopes of that over
sea expansion and development with
which South America alone can sup
ply it.
"Now the impact is on US. Our
blood which flows in your veins should
lead you to expect that we shall be
stubborn enough to bear that impact,

Jesse PGneroy has
Spent 3S Years in Cell

& BOSTON, Sept. Thirty-eieht
years in solitary confinement; that i
the record of Jesse Pomeroy, perhaps
the most famous prisoner in the Unit
ed States. Pomeroy was first sem
fenced to prison when a boy of 16.
He was convicted OF torturing' and
numbering children younger than him
self, After some MOI was lib
Grated. .Ar.
s. The evening Pomeroy Hr. A,.nfS
freedom Boston was Mortified wn.-' 0
Series of child murders. In each case
the victim had been subjected to I'M
'speakable mutiliatian and torture he
fore being put 10 death. Pomeroy
was charged with the crime. He was
convicted and sentenced TO life i'm
prisonment. Since that time his
mother, now bent old woman, has
formally appeal to every governor Of
Massachusetts for a pardon. She has
visited him every month since his IN
generation in Charlestown pcniten-
tiary since 1872 Every warden of
the prison since that time has an-
nounced that he would, on assuming
his duties, give Pomeroy a chance"
by removing Him from solitary con-
finement Each warden has rhed in
innumerable ways to 'win Pomeroy
over" Each has signally failed, fail
ure in several cases coming after
Pomeroy had taken advantage of
kindness to attempt escape or nlur-
der of his keepers.
Pomeroy is never permitted to see
anyone but his mother, the warden
and the governor of Ma saehusutts.
~ is not known to have spoken
word to anyone excepting his mother
in the past twenty-five years. He
has read every book in The big Hbrary
Of The prison, and has studied LIZ !
He is permitted an hours exercise in
the prison yard in company with the
warden every day that he wants it
Sometimes he goes for weeks without
leaving his cell.
Pomeroy has several times been
nearly successful in sensational at
tempts at escape Several years ago
he secured in some mysterious man
ner a piece of steel which he fash
ioned into a drill. After months Of
secret work, sometimes only "A min
ute at time, he dug through the
floor of his cell to gas main. Then
one night he broke this main, believ-
ing he would be removed to the hos
pital, where he had better chance
for escape, if he was overcome with
gas. In breaking the pipe with his
steel, however, spark ignited the
gas and the cell was partially wreck
ed. Pomeroy was knocked uneon-
scious, but he speedily recovered and
was removed to his present cell. He
has never seen an electric ear nor
an automobile, and has never ridden
in an elevator nor talked over a tele-
phone.
