RED CROSS DRIVE BIG SUCCESS
OVER 600 NEW MEMBERS SB-
CURED IN FOUR HOUR
CAMPAIGN

Exceeding all expectations, the big
drive for Red Cross members in this
city last Sunday afternoon from to
6 o'clock p. m. netted 615 new mem-
bers. All solicitors have not yet turn
ed in their reports, and it is possible
that when the campaign is wound up
the local chapter will have added SOC
new names to it's roster, bringing the
total membership to over 1900.
DR.. E. w. Kaliher was city chairman
and he appointed ward chairmen, whe
in turn chose their solicitors and as
signed territory to them. J: f. McNally
was chairman in the first ward, D. n.
Cameron in the second, N. J. Peterson
in the third and II. j. LaFond in the
fourth. The people who were asked to
solicit members responded readily and
worked hard all afternoon. Previous
advertising Of the big drive and men.
tion Of it in the churches Of the city
assisted in a great measure in en-
listing the members and in many in
stances the people had their money
ready to turn over to the solicitors be-
fore they had time to explain the Oh
ject Of their call.
It is possible that some parts Of the
city were not covered by the solicitors
Sunday and therefore any who were
not seen then but who wish to join
the Red Cross, can leave the fee Of 81
for years membership with Chair
man Kaliher or the ward chairman e,
with any of the solicitors who were
out last Sunday.

NARROW ESCAPE
From Death Had by Young Man Who
Ran Into Bridge Over Limestone
Creek on Saturday Night.

A young man from Mayslick had
very narrow escape from death OIL
Saturday night when he crashed into
the bridge over Limestone Creek with
a Ford automobile. Had he not hit
one Of the large pillars supporting tho
overhead work Of the bridge he would
have plunged into the creek below.
The young man came up East Third
at high rate of speed and made no
attempt to slow down In coming
around the short curve under the rail-
road. The wagon of Mr. Chris Hun
sicker, mail carrier from trains to the
postoffice, was coming across the
bridge and the young manf not being
in condition to clearly see what he
was doing, hit Mr.. Hunsicker's wagon
q glancing blow. He then ran into the
side of the bridge.
His machine was badly damaged, the
front axle being bent and the radiator
mashed considerably. He escaped in,
jury however. One of the rear wheel.
Of Mr.. Hunsicker's wagon was dam
aged.
The fact that the young man did no
hit one Of the open" spaces between
the supports is certainly lucky ont
for him. A fall into the creek woult
have meant serious injury and posi-
bly, death.

left. However, his machine was goint
too slow and the two machines came
together. The motorcycle was badl,
damaged while the auto was consider
ably mashed in the front.
Mr.. Bradford was thrown out of th'
machine and was most painfully in

Mr.. McCran introduced the other

Newark "Ripper Bill" Passed.
Following a squabble which took sew
eral hours time in the house, that body
yesterday passed the Newark ripper
bills, permitting Mayor Raymond of
that city to make appointments with
out the confirmation of the Democratic
common council.
Assemblyman Runyon, Republican
member from Union county, opposed
tie measure, as did the Democratic mi
nority. They maintained hat the solu-
ton of the question rested in the pro-
posed charter to be submitted to the
people of Newark by referendum. The
bill was passed by a vote of SO to 16.
MIR. Runyon brought about the tenn
porary defeat of the scheme by quot
ing from the address of Speaker
Schoen, who had warned against hasty
and u~ndigested legislation. Following
a caucus yesterday, however, it was de-
cided to bring out the bill and pass it.
Because of the appointments made by
Mayor Raymond and the claims of
Democratic occupants of the Office, mu-
nicipal business in Newark has been
largely at a standstill, and some of the
banks have refused to honor checks
drawn to the city account.
