Mangles Manufacturer
-Wife'S Arm Broken.

North Branch, \. j., June l9.-Win-
field Z. Roller, forty-eight years old,
New York business man, with a sum
mer home here, was instantly killed
this evening and his wife slightly in
Jured when the automobile in which
they were riding was struck by a Cen
tral Railroad express at the unpro-
tected Lanes Crossing
Mr.. Koller was driving the car,
small runabout The crossing is at the
top Of an embaakment, and il is impos-
Sibie from the'road TO see a train &p-
preaching. The lack OF guard gates or
warning bell adds 70 the danger of the
crossing.
Knowing that the 6:l5 o'clock Har-
risburg express was due 20 pass the
crossing, Mr.. Koller stopped his ma
chine At the bottom Of the embank-
ment. In a few minutes a train rum
bled by, and Mr.. Koller, unable to see
the tracks, did not know that it was
eastbound.
He started his car up the bank, and
the machine was full across the west
bound tracks as the express, going
sixty miles an hour, struck it. The
automobile was thrown one hundred
feet and the wreckage landed in the
meadows.
Roller was thrown directly in the
path OF the train and was badly man
gled. Mrs. Roller was thrown to one
side. When she was picked up 1t was
found that, except for shock, her only
injury was a broken arm.
Koller was a wealthy card manu-
facturer, of l59 Leonard Street, New
York, and did business under the name
Of Roller & Smith Company, Inc. The
couple had been at their summer home
here since early in May. Mrs. Koller
was cared for by neighbors, and her
relatives and those of her husband in
New York were notified. The local
authorities will begin an investigation
Of what appears TO be negligence on
the part of the railroad in leaving the
crossing unguarded. There have been
several accidents at that point, but this
is the first one which resulted fatally.
Mineola, Long Island, June 19.-Mrs
Catherine DufFett, wife Of Charles g..
Dufett, a well-to-do hotel keeper OF
Roslyn, and her son Harold are in the
Nassau Hospital as a result of injuries
they received this afternoon when the
steering gear Of their automobile broke
while they were on the Flower Mill
Road near Roslyn. The machine ran
into a trolley pole, breaking it off
short, and throwing both occupants out
Of the automobile.
Mrs. Duffett has compound fractures
Of both legs and is internally injured,
while the boy, who was protected by
the steering wheel, was cut by glass
and his chin is broken.

called and a detective sergeant took
