"HOODOO CAR" IN
ANOTHER SMASHUP
Two Are Slightly Injured When Ma
chimes Crash at ADMIRAL
and yorktown.

The champion hoodoo automobile
of Tulsa, a seven n-passenger car the
property of the Taxi Auto Baggage
and Livery company was in its second
wreck of the last ten days when it
Eiled against a curbing last night at
l1:3O o'clock at Admiral and York
town as a result of having been met
amidships by five-passenger ma
chine, the property of, and driven by,
c. j. Clulow.
Mrs NJ. Vandover. who was riding
in the taxi, was cut about the face
and arms when she was hurled from
the car. and +. c. Tuscher, her com
panion, was also bruised as a result
of the accident.
The taxi driven by Temple Holder
was returning to the city along Ad-
miral and had approached the inter-
section of Yorktown when, according
to witnesses. the King Eight dashed
out from behind a car moving in the
opposite direction and crashed into
the taxi. throwing the occupants to the
pavement.
Mr.. Clulow was hurled from his
seat in his car to the pavement and
his head bruised and cuts inflicted on
his arms and shoulders.
Immediately after the two cars had
crashed into each other, a large
crowd gathered, and at first the ru-
NOR spread that the woman had been
killed This. however. was disproved
when the word went out from the
place where She was resting on the
parkirg, that in the crash she had
lost her pocketbo4k. The fact that
this was her chief thought had the
effect Of causing the crowd to treat
the accident as trivial and although
the ambulance was called. and police
officers were summoned, none Of the
victims Of the affair was forced to use
the vehicle, or no arrests were made

Pigs Feet Leads to
Arrest of Murderer

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 30.-Fondness
for picked pigs feet led to the arrest
in Kansas City, Kan, to-day of II. Fos-
ter, alias Joe Clarke, a negro, who,
the police say. is wanted in McLe-
moresville, Tenn. in connection with
the killing of another negro there.
Clarke had just left a restaurant
where he had consumed an extra large
portion of his favorte dish when two
detectives entered.
THAT boy can eat more pigs feet
than anyone l ever saw" said the pro-
prietor to the detectives. The officers
remembered receiving a report a few
days ago from McLemoresville which
said that Fosters chief popularity was
his fondness for picked pigs feet, and
that he boasted of his ability to con-
sumo more of that article of food at
one meal than any negro in Tennessee.
Fosters arrest Immediately followed
and according to the detectives he ad-
mitted the killing, pleading self
defense He said he would return
without requisiuon.
