SIX NEAR DEATH
As AUTO ROLLS
OVER 8 TIMES
Two Girls and Man Pinned I'm
der Car in Accident on the
Roswell Road.

Three young men and three girls
are recovering from injuries received
IN an automobile accident on Clyde
Hill, on the Roswell road, late Mon
day night, when the machine in which
they were riding became unmanage-
able and turned turtle at the bottom
of the hill.
They were taken to Grady Hospital
in an emergency car of local ga
rage, and were sent home after their
wounds were dressed by surgeons.
They are:
Miss Lucille Lewis, 90 years old, of
No. 1853 Nelson street.
Miss Julia Lewis, IS years old, No.
1853 Nelson street
Miss Myrtle Smithers No 1853 Nell
son street.
c, L. Whitehead, No 1O7 Trinity
avenue.
Ralph Smith, Winder, Ga.
S. w. Wood, No. 70 12 Edgewood
avenue.
None of them was seriously in
jured. The Lewis sisters Were pinned
under the machine, and Ralph Smith
was pinned under the seat by his
right arm. Miss Smithers and the
two other young men were hurled
from the machine several yards into
the underbrush at the side of the
road.
Young Whitehead was driving the
machine According to the story he
told at the hospital he had taken 7.
C. Galloway, of the Cleveland Man
ming Piano Company, out to West
End, and as he was driving the ma
chine back to town he met Smith and
Wood and the three girls. He in
vited them to take ride and started
the machine for the outskirts of the
city
Whitehead says that when the ma
chine began the ascent of Clyde Hill,
which is steep grade, the front
wheels of the car locked and the
steering gear became useless. The
car swerved to one side, turned three
somersaults and crashed to the bot
tom of the hill.
After the accident Smith and Miss
Smthers walked to the nearest farm
residence, where they telephOned for
assistance.

Former Head of New Haven Lines

Boston.-The first move in a cam

Brotherhoods, which shall include first
the hundreds OF thousands of railway
men Of New England, then the millions
OF operatives of the United States and
Canada, and ultimately perhaps the
workers of Great Britain also, occurred
at the Quincy house here.
These railroad workers are split up
into more than one hundred organiza-
tons. None of them will be asked to
abandon its present brotherhood All
of them are to be urged to join in the
federation that shall give unity of in
terest and power of numbers that by
themselves they do not possess. The
United States federation of separate
states and the federation of the Ger
man states into powerful empire are
the models upon which the railway
campaign is planned.
The leaders of the movement are
confident that when it shall be shown
to be united enterprise with the back.
Eng Of the great majority of the rail
road men of New England the former
president of the New haven railroad.
Charles S. Mellen, will accept the
presidency of the federated council.
The men who are planning the cam
paign are enthusiastic in their praise
of Mr.. Mellen for his cordial and fair
dealings with the employees of the
railway systems he has managed. They
have written him about their plan, and
in long replies, all in his own hand
writing, he has referred to the way
their proposal warns his blood and
pulls upon his heartstrings.

of the Order of Railroad Station
