that one day the senate got along all

AUTOS
Crash Into Each Other And
Both Badly Battered

Automobiles owned and driven by
Samuel Clark and John c. Stoyle
both of this city, crashed into each
other Sunday afternoon at 4:3C
O'Clock at Lawlers drug store corner
on the public square and both ma
chimes were badly battered. None
of the occupants of either car was
seriously injured.
The accident was witnessed by a
large number of people as the square
is pretty we'll populated during the
latter portion of the afternoon. A
monster crowd gathered about the
two machines and hindered the work
of getting them apart, the wheels
having hooked together.
Stoyle was coming up West High
street and attempted sharp turn
at Lawler's drug store. His close.
ness to the curb and inability to stop
the car when he saw Clark coming
resulted in the collision. Clark, on
the other hand, and according to by.
ISLANDERS, had started around the
square from the south, turned prop.
erly and started down West High
street, thus meeting the Stoyle ma.
chine.
With Stoyle were his wife and Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Wuchner. Clark
was alone in his machine which is a
small roadster. When the crash
came his left arm was struck by the
Stoyle car.
The left fender and two wheels
of the Clark car were battered and
broken, while one wheel of the
Stoyle car was splintered almost in
to kindling. A lucky feature of the
collision was the fact that neither
car was running at great speed
Otherwise, there would have been
very serious injuries to the occu.
pants.
An examination by a physician
showed that Clark had sustained
more serious injuries than first
glance showed He had his collar.
bone broken, his left elbow bone
cracked, his left knee sprained and
his abdomen bruised. When the col
lision occurred, Clark was thrown
forward on his steering wheel and
he thus sustained his injuries.

THE PERIL OF TIPS
(Boston Post)


Where should abolition of the "tip-
ping" exaction begin? The Legisla-
ture of Iowa made a step at it's last
session by which the acceptance of
such a gratuity was penalized by stat
ute. 1t was alleged that tips" were
against public policy, morally and
economically injurious"
Very promptly this mandate has
been challenged. A tip was accepted
by barber in city of Iowa, and suit
has been brought before the Supreme
Court of that state to determine the
constitutionality of the statute. Had
this barber kept quiet and simply turn
ed back the coin-whieh he undoubted'
ly earned by sympathetic manipulation
of the face of his customer--the crisis
might have been averted.
AS it stands, however, we have
Forthcoming, in due time, an authors
tative determination of the validity
of tips" 1t is a large question, so es
sentially personal as to be regarded
perhaps outside the domain of law ev
en- in Iowa.

A Splendid Address Given By
Or. Chambers

All Protestant churches of the city,
through their heads, Joined Sunday in
the laying of the cornerstone of the
new Baptist church on East High
street before large throng of people.
Only Rev. E. E. Whitaker of the M.
E. church was absent and he because
of the Northeast Ohio conference of
his church which he is attending in
Akron.
Each minister present had his own
particular part in the ceremonies of
the day, so that the affair became of a
general nature and one blessed by the
numerous denominations of protestant
churches in Mt. Vernon.
This sounded rather new note in
cornerstone laying and, bEspeaking
general interest, as it did, was one of
the very pleasant features of cere-
monies which marked a new epoch in
the history of the Baptist church in
the city of Mt Vernon
The ceremonies and accompanying
services were in charge of the pastor
of the church, Rev. G. Rector Dye who
announced each number of the pro-
gram, read the list of the contents Of
the box deposited within the stone and
rected the following scriptural lines

place: Therefore thus saith the Lord

the family of Charles j. Bennett,
who resides two and one-half miles
north of the city, on the Mansfield
road, enabled burglars to enter the
house Sunday morning, while the
family was at church, and obtain
suit of clothes, some shirts and small
change. No trace was left by the
burglars which might serve as a
clue.
1t was not until the family had re-
turned from church that the burglary
was discovered and only then when

above articles had been taken from
the house.
This makes the fifth burglary with

is similarity about the majority in
that suits of clothes have been taken
by the thieves. It would seem that
the same gang was in operation at
the Bennett home Sunday.

MT. VERNON WON
A Close and Exciting Game From the
Cambridge Team

Cambridge again furnished an ex-
citing baseball game Sunday at the
local athletic park, when they we're
defeated by the Mt. Vernon nine by
the score of 6 to 5. This makes one
game apiece for the two clubs.
Lanty Householder pitched for Mt.
Vernon until the seventh inning,
when he hit two men in succession.
He was relieved by Bowden. The
locals put up an excellent article of
ball throughout the game. The Cam
bridge nine, which is composed of
professionals, is probably one of the
best clubs playing here this season.
