YOUNG MAN DIES FROM
EFFECT OF AUTO INJURIES

Daniel Johnson, 10 years old, of
Atlantic City, died at the Atlantic
City Hospital on. Thursday afternoon
as the result of injuries he received
in a mysterious automobile accident
which occurred Wednesday evening on
Doughty Road near the Pleasantville
Cemetery. County Physician Souder
is investigating the case.
Raymond G. Ireland received a tele-
phone call asking him to come at once
to the gravel pit on Doughty Road to
fix an automobile which had met with
an accident. When he arrived there
he found Johnson lying in the middle
of the road; another man, a stranger
to him, standing by the injured man
while the car was badly wrecked.
Johnson and when he found him I'M
conscious and evidently seriously in
jured he telephoned to Pleasantville
for a physician. The physician
knowing the man was badly hurt hail
ed a passing car and rushed him to
the Hospital. At the hospital it was
reported that death had been caused
by serious internal injuries.
The identity of the man who was
with Johnson in the car at the time
of the accident has not been learned.
1t is believed that Johnson was trav-
cling at a high rate of speed and
either mistook the road or skidded in
to the fence bordering the road. Four
heavy posts were %uprooted, smashing
the car almost into kindling wood.

TEACHERS OPPOSE TEST

- SCRANTON, Pa, July 9.-Public
school teachers, holding permanent
TEACHERS rtificates,','s;aA provided 10y
state law, are opposing another test,
ordered by the school authorities
Of this city. The teachers say this
additional test is contrary to law and
that it's real purpose is to disrupt an
Organization they have formed to bet
ter conditions.
They ask that the legality of the
order be passed upon by the courts,
and pledge themselves to abide by
the decision. They show that the
subject they are to be examined in Is
covered in their permanent certiff-
cate, which exempts them from fur
ther examination of this character.
The Central Labor union has ap-
pointed a committee: to assist the
teachers, whose wages in the grade
schools, Rey. Thomas Archibald de-
clared, averaged about $11.50 per
week. In a recent sermon on the
present controversy, the local clergy
man said this is less than many peo.
pie pay their chauffeurs.

NAVY MEN QUIT To
GET BETTER JOBS
Wholesale designations of Naval
Men Threatened, Secretary
Daniels Admits.

WASHINGTON, July 9-The navy,
as we'll as the army, faces a problem
of threatened wholesale designations
of officers who can make more money
from private manufacturers Of war
supplies than they can ever hope to
get from the government, no matter
how high they may rise in the service.
Secretary Daniels admits that two
naval constructors have sought his
permission to resign, asserting plainly
that unless they are allowed to do so,
they will consider themselves prac-
tically in a state of slavery.
Daniels view is, however. that they
have no right to quit while the gov
ernment needs them. Like Secretary
Garrison, he is awaiting Attorney
General Gregory.s opinion on fhes sub
ject. This had not been received, as
bad been expected
Garrison said that he was not un-
alterably opposed to officers resigna-
tions. but did want to know what the
departments rights were If resigna-
tions should be offered wholesale.

CHOCAGO, July 9.-Twenty- seven
years ago, William Boyle, with $1,000
In the bank, laid aside his carpenter
tools and became a Chicago street car
conductor. He told the arbitration
board hearing the plea of Chicago
street car employees for higher. wages
that today he has only $500 in the
bank.
Boyle said that for most Of the 81
years he received between 19 and 80
cents an hour for nine hours work
daily during the week and seven hours
Sundays.
Five years ago he was one Of those
who were raised cent an hour. The
audience at the hearing shifted about
uneasily when he said it surprised him
how much that little helped.
Boyle said he would have had to
dig further into his savings IL relatives
who have farm near Logansport,

Chicago Agent Who Opposed
Lumber Dealers May Be
Fatally Wounded.

. CHICAGO July 9.-An unknown
assailant early Tuesday called Charles
Johnston, secretary of the 'Brickmak-
ers' International union, to the door
of his home in Kenilworth, avenue.
and fired two bullets into his lung.
The assailant escaped, leaving no clue
and Johnston is in precarious con-
dition.
Johnston, as secretary of the Brick
makers union, has been active in op-
posing the recent policies Of lumber
dealers and building material manu-
facturers in their shutdown in order
to force settlement Of the carpen-
ters' strike.
The Brickmakers' union since the
lockout, has openly espoused the
cause Of fellow craftsmen, the car
penters. It was part of, Johnston 8

act with officials of the carpenters
union in a proposed campaign for
closer cooperation with the carpen-
ters since the lockout order went into
effect last week.
President Leonard A. Busby of the
Chicago surface lines, made the claim
before the board of arbitrators Sat-
urday, that wages were increasing
more rapidly than the cost Of living.
He maintained that street car men
were paid, more each year than men
in industrial trades and that returns

sented figures to support his conten-

Busby declared that 6,54S men ap-
piled for 871 street car jobs last year
and that another 5000 was turned
away on preliminary examination. He
said the company valued most the

line were at variance with those ex-
pressed later by Prof. Frank J. Good
now, recently tnaugurated as prest-
dent. of John Hopkins university.
Professor .Goodnow said that the
acquiescence of the people for 100
years in exercise by the courts of the
power to pass on the constitutionality
of law warrants any such usurpation
If there was any "
Professor Goodnow,' however,
shared the, opinion Of the others men
toned with reference to the ikel-
ihood% of unconscious bias on the part
Of the judiciary. "One of the main
troubles said he, Sin selecting
judges from the bar is that they have
been accustomed to defend private
rights and not public interests"
Criticism of Judges a Healthy Sign.
Judge Clark pointed out that
courts have been composed of elder
ly men, most of whom have been en-
ployed4 by, big corporations, uncon-
sciously biased in favor of views they
held before they went on the bench. -
Professor Seager, however, found a
healthy sign in the growing out
spoken criticism Of such judges and
the antaEonism shown toward them
IN popular, elections. He felt that
many judges are thus being made
conscious Of their bias and are maxi
ing real effort to guard against it. :
