7iust now the insect destroyers of
human happiness are hiding in cellars

Death in Auto
Accident
Car 0yerturns in Rounding Cor
ner Killing Young Lady

Miss Bessie Gardner of Petoskey was
killed when an auto, in which she was
riding, was overturned at the corner OF
State Street and the Fair Ground road
In this city Sunday afternoon.
The automobile was in charge of o.
ear Sweenor of Petoskey and was
brought here from that city on Sunday
for demonstrating purposes, Mrs. New
SON, proprietor of the Russell House,
Heing in the market for a car. Mas
Gardner, having friends here, accom-
panied Mr.. Sweenor to this city.
The accident occurred about three
thirty o'clock Sunday afternoon. Mr..
Sweenor was driving the ear, and in il
was Miss Gardner, Mrs. Newson and
her daughter, Mrs. r. F. Steffes, and
Harry Adams. What speed the car
was being driven is an open question,
some claiming it was going from eight
to twelve miles per hour and others
that the speed was from twenty-five to
forty miles. The party was headed for
the Fair Ground road and in taking
the turn the driver failed to note that
the road is center-bank ed; he swung
the car to the farther side, running in
to the sand near the gutter. He evid-
emily "lost his head" and endeavored
to swing the car up the grade to the
road-center. Had he driven the car
straight ahead, it is claimed the acci-
ydent would not have occurred.
The car toppled and took a three
quarters of turn over to the left with
all the occupants in it. Miss Gardner
evidently leaned out of the car and in
turning over, her head was caught be-
tween the running board and ground,
part of her skull being smashed. She
was taken into the home of L. j. Sup
arpaw and physicians summoned. She
lived about half an hour after the acci-
dent. The other occupants, although
badly bruised, escaped serious injury.
Undertaken Wilmington was summon
ed and took charge of the remains, TAX
ing them to the undertaking par!ors
that night The body was shipped to
Boonville, Ind, Tuesday morning,
where her father and sister reside.
Miss Gardner went to Bay View last
spring from her home in Boonvile, for
her health. Last fall she secured a
position in the shoe department of
Eptchman's store at Petoskcy and has
been in their employ since. She was
popular in that city and her sudden
death was shock to her many friends
there.
Coroner Wilkinson came up from
Charlevoix Monday morning and in
paneled jury consisting of Messrs w.
c. Spring, Geo. G. Glenn, W. E. Palm
tier. L. G. Balch, j. l.. Weisman and
George Carr. The verdict of the jury
men was that "said Bessie Gardner
came to her death as result of the
overturning of an automobile, driven
by Oscar Swenor, April IL, 1914, at
about four o'clock p. m, evidence
pointing to the driver making excess
sive speed while turning the corner
resulting in the oyerturning of said
car. Whether the acts of said Swenor
amount to criminal negligence or not
we are unable to decide from the evil
dence, the same being conflicting"

TO TAKE CURE
Howard Elliott, President Of Comany,
Confers With Attorney General Nc
Reynolds Two Day Session
DETAILS TO BE SETTLED
Proposed Plan of Reorganization To
Restore Competition In New Eng
land Would Lop Subsidiary Line

Washington, Jan. 7.-After two
hour conference between Attorney
General McReynolds and Chairman
Howard Elliott Of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad it was
understood that the New Haven will
agree to a reorganization to restore
competition in transportation through.
out New England.
No official announcement was made
but Mr.. Elliott will remain in Wash
1ngton for several days and it was be-
l1eved may settle details of the plan.
Mr.. Elliott and the attorney general
carefully considered the New England
situation with regard to a reorganiza.
ton.
AS he left the attorney generals
Office Mr.. Elliott said he could make
no official announcement now, but said
things look encouraging"
What Action Would Mean.
A reorganization of the New Haven
would include some plan for it's dis
posal of control over the Boston and
Maine railroad, the cancellation of it's
agreement with the New York Cen
trail for the operation of the Boston
and Albany, the giving up Of it's so
called Sound steamship lines, which
operate from New York to Bridgeport,
New Haven and New London, Provi-
dence and other New England cities,
the giving up Of it's trolley lines and
its so called outside steamship lines
One argument that inclines the at
torney general to favor a dissolution
is that the New Haven might have
difficulty in disposing Of it's holdings
at the present time.
Under such plan Mr.. McReynolds
could approve or disanprovo The trus-
tees who were selected and pass up
on details Of the disposition OF stock
