ONE DROWNED, 10 DUCKED.
Big Touring Car Plnges Into Salt
Marsh Pool Near Lynn.

LYNN, Mass, Nov. AIRS. Helen
Ascolillo was drowned and 10 others, pas
sengers in a big touring car, were thrown
into a salt marsh pool, in an automobile
accident between here and the Point of
Pines bridge at 2:l5 yesterday morning.
The car, driven by Antonio Rossi of Med
ford, was going at high speed and struck
and sideswiped another car containing
Frank F. ellis who was operating the
car; Miss Dorothy diversion, Miss Mary
Z. Lane and Alexander Grady of East
Boston.
The shock of the collision was such
that the forward wheel of this car was
torn off. AS a result of the smash, Rossi,
it is claimed lost control of his car and
it turned off the boulevard, crashing into
and swapping off a telegraph pole. The
car then swept through the heavy wooden
guard fence at the side of the boulevard
and ran down the steep wall of the boule-
ward to the marsh.
The cars momentum was slackened at
the side of a four-foot deep pool at that
point The pause was such that 10 OF the
IL passengers in the car managed to leap
from it into the pool, then the car turned
turtle and plunged after them into the
water. Mrs. Ascoillo, who was still in
the car. was pinned beneath it and was
drowned.

parentlv caused by a short circuit. The
force of the blast burst a steel barrel of
the new equipment and the flash of the
electricity ignited this oil, which was
thrown over the men in the room.
Four were instantly killed, apparently.
One escaped serious burns by jumping
through a window The other eight man
aged to escape from the hame-filed room,
but ali were SO badly burned that they
died in the hospital The dead included
the superintendent of the Tonawanda
transformer station, the general superin-
tendent and the general electrician OF
the Tonawanda Power company. ..
Officials of the power company lmmed-
lately began an investigation. As a result
of the accident North Tonawanda, Ton

WHAT Is The HlTcHi

When one reads the liberal terms Of
fered by the bolshevilIi to Rumanis, as
outlined In the dispatches day or two
ago. and like proposals. which have
been submitted TO Poland, the refiec-
ton develops that some evil genius
must be preventing the return OF for.
NAL peace in Europe. At this distance.
the return Of a/half a billion In gold to
Rumania is proposal which ought to
prove a strong inducement. No known
grievance OF Rumania against Russia
furnishes plausible excuse for re-
1octing peace on such terms,
One reason that has peen urged as q
basis of refusal to negotiate with the
bolshevild Is that they win not comply
with their treaty obligations IN good
faith. This, however, 10 o gratuitous
and arbitrary assumption. the truth or
fnlsity Of which can best be. demon
strated by actual test. Assuredly II n
treaty were made with the Russians
ana later violated by them. tho other
party to the treaty need not be airy
worse on than while state OF war was
being maintained. Even a short period
OF peace would hardly prove destructive.
Offers TO make restitution OF such
valuable trophies as gold and art treas
ures, however. Ia rather persuasive
indication Of good faith. Moreover, It is
in Its nature proposition so tangible
as easily to he put to the test. II seems
that Rumania, which has several times
asked for outside assistance, would only
be the gamer by mutual agreement
with Russia for the return of captured
spells. the evacuation Of occupied ter
ritory and the conclusion Of q treaty
OF peace.

ditions. somebody or some power or

Assails Election Methods.

To the Editor Of The News;
Through the courtesy OF your es-
teemed journal I should like to talk to
the people about the luxury of presi-
dents. That Is the luxury OF securing
and disposing OF them.
Like cotton crop. we hardly secure
one until we are looking for another
one. There Is much ink. pulp ana print
expended on tho job. The country is
held In suspense and expense. yea, the
whole world 10 see who Will he be.
Business lags and there 10 an all-round
depression at least twelve months out
OF every four years.
Now, II should become matter OF
sentiment and custom that no man
shall be even talked of twelve months
before the nomination. the nomination
should be two months before election,
and the president should 70 into office
on New Years. using this day for the
significant event, ,..s
Candidates. for president should run
nounce themselves, being tied 10 no
clique. ring nor class, and should be
elected by majority vote, doing away
with the ELECTORAL college.
After all the stagnation OF business.
after keeping the whole world In anx-
iety, we do not get the man neither IN
nomination nor office that the majority
want.
Though the presidential candidates are
nominated long before election. vet there
Ia really only about months cam
pnign, and as there Is such similarly
OF parties and Issues this year. It could
be conducted In less time.

responsibilities. they want 1t through

Most presidential aspirants, aside
from platitudes and old bunk have only
few ideas. and II wouldn't take long
for them TO expound them.
