ONE KILLED IN AUTO
WRECK NEAR WINDSOR
Car Going at High Rate of SDosd Left
the Road and Struck Tee
Chauffeur Blamed.

CLAREMONT, \. H, Oct. 1.-The
Kennedy farm, south of Windsor, was
the scene of tragedy Saturday evening,
when a seven passenger car left the road
just beyond the farm buildings and plunged
over a four-foot bank, inhicting more or
less injuries on all members of the party.
and mangling Mrs Emma J. Rogers Of
Tunbridge, VT, so badly that she died at
the Claremont General hospital the fol-
lowing morning.
The machine was a Windsor car and
had been hired by the Tunbridge party
for the day, it is understood. The Yer
monters had been in Claremont and were
returning to Windsor when the accident
occurred
At the wheel was a chauffeur by the
name of Fecteau. One OF the residents of
the Kennedy farm happened to be watch
ing as the big car swept up the road,
lurching from side to side, at a speed not
far from 40 miles an hour.
At point Just beyond the buildings,
where the road makes a turn to the left,
the right hand side of the highway is
bounded by a gently sloping bank, becom-
ing more and more precipitous as it pro-
leeds until it reaches depth of something
like four feet! and it was here that the
driver finally lost control of the car
The automobile, with its heavy load, ca
Ireened to the right, turning down the
slope Of the bank BY the side of the
road stands an apple tree, and it was this
tree that Mrs Rogers is said to have
struck, her arm being almost torn from
her body. \ second tree. a few yards
farther on, stopped the machine with a ter
rifle crash, all the occupants being precipi-
tated to the ground
Mrs. Rogers was hurled II feet, land
ing in the highway, while her daughter
was thrown almost on top Of her. The
other members of the party we're found 10
be alive, but Mrs Rogers's condition was
SO serious that an ambulance was sum-
moned to bring her to the hospital in Clare
mont, where she died about eight hours
after her arrival.

SEEKS TO ENJOIN
MUTUAL LIFE CO.
Policyholder Objects to Proposed In
vestment of 100000 in
Allies Bonds.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Mrs. Olga II. S.
Welsh, holder of a 1000 policy in the
Mutual Life Insurance company, APP
piled in United States court here yaster-
day for an injunction restraining the
officers Of the company from investing
in the $500, 900 Anglo-French bonds
and restraining the member of the An
glo-French mission, j. p. Morgan indi-
vidually and the firm of J. P. Morgan
& Co. from selling the bonds to- the
company.
The petitioner alleged that the in
surance company contemplated invest
ing Sl0,000,000 of its trust funds in the
bonds. She was represented by Frank
5. Monnett, who as attorney general of
Ohio prosecuted the Standard Oil com
pany and is a member of the legal com
mittee of the National Peace congress.
The court is informed that the in
vestment is contrary to the state stat
utes Of Illinois and New York.
1.-The purpose of the loan,' the pc
tition says, lis the purchase from
American citizens of munitions of war
for the British and French governments
to be used against the German, Austro-
Hungarian and Turkish governments.
The duty of the officers of the company
is to protect its assets rather than to
destroy them by taking sides in the
war.
''The violation of their duty by the
officers will WHO'LL destroy the good
viii of all the warning countries whose
subjects are policyholders and maintain
and foster racial or national hatred
toward the managing officers Of the
company"
Twenty-Five per cent of the policy
holders, it is alleged, are Germans or
German-Americans
The bill charges that Charles 4. Pea
body, president of the insurance com
pany, and George f. Baker, a director,
have met secretly many times ''at one
of the selected rendezvous of the An
glo-Frcnch commission and j. p. Nor
gan and at these meetings the support
of the company was pledged to the
loan
The bill asks that the injunction ex-
tend to all companies in which the Mu-
tual Life has investments. a sub
poena was asked for service on D. 4.
Day, the Illinois agent Of the company.

Former Resident Suicides

Jerome Thiel, who lived two and one
half miles west of Clio. several years
ago, and was well known to many resi-
dents of this vicinity, killed himself
with revolver at his home near AL
pena one day last week. He is said to
have stood before looking glass and
carefully aimed the shot that ended
his life. 1t is claimed that i'll health
was responsible for the deed. Thiel
was bachelor and when he lived here
kept bachelor quarters on his farm;
latterly he has been living with rela-
tives. While here he told his neigh
bors about having had trouble over the
settlement of an estate and claimed he
stood in some fear of relatives with
whom he had such differences, on &C
count of which he always carried a
loaded revolver. He formerly owned
the farm now owned by Harry Price.

MANN NOT MENTIONED

Congressman James X. Mann of Chicago is
rather neglected in a recent editorial of the
Chicago Tribune on Illinois favorite sons :
who may be the center of presidential Blooms.
The Illinois congressman who recently visited
Hawaii is not even mentioned in the editorial.
The Tribune says:
" If Illinois is to present a favorite son to the
Republican national convention it must be APP
parent to any one who will take an instant s
reasonable view of the situation that there is
only one possible candidate in this state. He
is Senator Lawrence Y Sherman. By the sim
pie processes of elimination for good cause Of
one sort or another every other mentionable
Republican goes out and Sherman alone re
mains.
There is no one other than Sherman in IL
linois who is worth the mention before the next
Republican national convention. He may or
may not be. He has had long service and has
talent and character. He is known. He is not
ephemeral. The savvy of the nation might rec
ognize him. Itmight not. But it will not rec
ognize any other person in Illinois, in our
opinion =

LACK OF TEAMWORK.

Controversy between city officials and GER
tain citizens over recent road work has now
reached the stage of legal yerbiage so profnse
and profound that the ordinary taxpayer does
not take 4he trouble to follow it.
What the taxpayer realizes is that almost at
the outset of their administration the mayor,
supervisors and engineer have failed to satisfy
a large number of the property -owners of the
city in the application of the local improve
ment laws.
There Us division even on NE board of super
yisors. One member tells the Star Bulletin he
is thoroughly in disagreement with the large
aWonnt of city money spent on ostensible
s. maintenance and repairs, believing that
many thousands of dollars were virtually vast
ed. He is convinced the money should have
been conserved for use in paying the city s part
of improvements under the frontage-taX law
and thus encouraging abutting property-own-
ers to pay their part.
Regardless of the outcome of the so-caled
test case now in court on an injunction suit, the
supervisors must reach definition of main
tenance and repairs which will give more as
surance to the public that they intend to carry
out their platform pledges in vigorous and
progressive spirit When members of the
board continually in private conversation com
plain that the other members are doing politics
a lack of harmony is indicated which bodies no
good. 1t is this constant failure to do team
work and get results under the,present elective
stem that is swinging more and more conser-

TAcoMA,s EXPERIENCE

Emphasis upon the need of special training
for municipal officials is tlle striking feature
of the letter published in another column today
from Mayor Fawcett of Tacoma. This letter is
third in the series secured by the Star Bulletin
as suggestions for Honolulu's coming charter
convention, and is not below the others in point
of timely interest and pertinent discussion.
What is needed today is experts in govern
ment, " epitomizes the Tacoma executives idea,
and he Celebrates it further as follows:
The one great thing in all municipal adj
vances today, it seems to me, is to get the idea
recognized.that municipal government is a spe-
cia vocation requiring special vision, grasp
and experience" And he looks on Tacoma s
Eve years ofstlse commission form as step to-
ward the city manager plan.
Indeed, when city finds out that it needs
expert municipal training in its public officials,
the city manager plan follows as logically as
day follows night
Mayor Fawcett's letter is worth while read
ing, re-reading and reading again. He warns
charter makers against going too much into de-
tail The details should be left to the wisdom
of the city,s. legislative body, whatever that is
TO be called Frame the charteron broad lines.
Let the Officials take short cut to results, if
they wish to but demand real results!
That is the view of Tacoma s executive after
file Northwest city has had five years of COM
mission government. He believes in the newer
charter forms, and even the mistakes of the
commission form have shown its superiority
TO the old long ballot plan.
