Of tho Navy Daniels has been asked to

1t is pointed out that the scouting

to be under the direction Of a fisher

Eight Bay State Towns
Flop to Wet Column
Cities Dry for Score of Years
Vote TO Return to
License System
Special Correspondence


BOSTON. March 1l.-Final count of
the license vote cast in eleven Massa-
chusetts towns shows that eight Of
these towns have Topped from the
"dry" to the "wet' column. The other
three remain "dry,' two Of them by
markedly reduced majoritics.
The significance of the jump in tho
license vote in these towns has been a
subject Of much discussion day. The
vote was specially surprising in the
cases of four towns. Weymouth went
for license after twenty-nine consccu
tive dry years, bingham after twenty
six years, Easton after twenty years
and Rockland alter eighteen years
These towns arc ali in the same sec
tion Of the state.
In the opinion of many persons the
wet vote is not sincere protest
against the enactment of the national
prohibition amendment. 1t is declared
the big vote for license came largely
as Il result Of desire for "a iinal
fling" before the amendment goes into
effect Reports that come in from the
towns seem to bear out this interpre-
tation. The elections were marked by
much frivolity and testing, it is said
The town of Hamilton voted on the
license question to-day, continuing II
the wet column By a somewhat IN
creased margin.

Story of Accident

After Hitting Ford Car

"My idea was to 90 to the right to
avoid the Ford car. but / was unable
to do so. Tho steering wheel was
stronger than / was. felt tho left
tire burst. and It Jerked the steering
wheel to the left in my hands.
II was no wcnk and upset when
rcalzed had struck those mon thnt
don't remember anything clac.'
This was Miss Ehith Mortimcr's story,
told in tho Supreme Court, Long Island
CITY Of the accident last October which
caused her to become defendant in n
mansiaughtcr' case, charged with the
killing Of two men through terminal
neglect in the management of an auto
mobllc.'
District Attorney William J. Morris
had brought into the courtroom the
tire which she had said had burst
after the impact with the truck. There
was six-inch cut in the tire. James
J. Bresin, a tire expert, testified that
such cut could not have been caused
by blowout. but must have been
caused by some external object.
Miss Mortimer in her direct story
said:
"When I was twenty or thirty feet
from Linden Avenue I saw the auto
truck as far away from Broadway as
| was. I thought the driver was going
to turn to the right. l put on speed
to go around him. Instead Of turning
to the right he came directly at me
and hit my car just behind where
was sitting. 1t was q strong impact.
| heard q loud noise. 1t threw MY car
to the left side. l felt my car going
to the left and I tried to go to the
right. The first I knew then was we
crashed into the Ford.
81 was excited and frightfully IN
nerved from the realization Of the
men having been hit. I don't know
just what did"
Mr.. Morris wound up his cross
examination with this question:
"Is it not true that you struck some
one else with tins same car a few
months before this accident o.
Judge Aspinall, on protest from
John B. Stanchfeld. counsel for Miss
Mortimer, ordered the question

The jurors were taken yesterday
afternoon to the garage in Flushing
where Miss Mortimer's car, broken
and dusty, has been in the charge Of
the district attorney since the accl-
dent.
They went to the corner of Linden
Avenue, scene Of the accident. In the

gouged out, where the girls car
