Baltimore & Ohio express No. 511

rate estimated at so miles an hou1
when it crashed into the touring
lar. Two of the occupants of the
car were brown a distance OF thlr-
ty or forty feet into a field along
the track. The car was picked up
by the cow-catcher of the locomotive
and carried for 200 feet before Il
was thrown to one side of the track,

other four occupants of the car were
caught on the pilot of the engine
and carried a distance of about
half mile at which point the engln-
eer succeeded in bringing the train
to a stop.
According to Thomas Whitman

train crew of a freight which had
stopped on one of the tracks near
the crossing, he attempted to warn
the driver of the touring car by
swinging a red lantern and shouting
bur his efforts were in vain as the
car continued across the tracks dl-
rectly in the path of the locomo-
tive. Whitman narrowly escaped
being struck by a piece of the hying
wreckage.
The grade crossing is protected by
an automatic bell and light signal
device, there also being stop, Look

location. The warning bell and red
light danger signal was working

Since it seems that many of the
children are unable to keep their
supplies until the Fourth of July"
Mayor Wilson said this morning, I'VE
deem it inadvisable to permit the
sale of fireworks before July 8. Then
they will have only a few hours to
wait and will be permitted to shoot
them off to their hearts content on
the following day.
When l was a boy" Mayor Will
son said, 1--WE started buying fire.
crackers and fireworks long before
the Fourth but we never thought of
shooting them off until that day.
Every boy endeavored to get as large
a supply on hand as possible and
when the Fourth arrived he had a
real celebration. The youths of to-
day seem to have forgotten the sig
nificance of the day and think moth
ing of shooting off their fireworks
as soon as they get them. The Four
tn of July cannot mean as much to
these youths as it does to those who
wait for weeks for the chance to
celebrate. think that the premature
setting off of fireworks is un-patriotic
and believe that if the boys consider
it they will see it in the same light
and enjoy their celebration on the
Fourth much more.

Put Ban On Fireworks
Sale Prior To July 3

The practice being INDUCED in by
the youths of the city in shooting
off f1re-crackers and Fourth of July
noise makers this week has resulted
in complaints being made to the
mayor and the police and. follow
ing a conference of Mayor Wilson
and Chief Tonnesen this morning, it
was decided to prohibit the sale of
all firew orks in this city until July 3.
Dealers found selling fireworks be-
fore that date will be arrested, their
permits revoked and fines imposed.
Those shooting off the fireworks also
are making themselves liable to ar
rest and all Police officers will re-
ceive orders to arrest anyone shoot
ing off firecrackers or Fourth of July
noisemakers prior to July 4.
The police have experienced more
trouble this year than ever before
in controlling the sale and use OF
fireworks. Only those who procure
permits from the mayor are permit
ted to sell fireworks and the first
few of these permits were granted
about a week or ten days ago. The
permits had no sooner been grant
ed than reports of premature setting
of of firecrackers reached the po-
lice.
In order to stop this the mayor
decided that no more permits would
be issued until June 25 and he gave
orders to these who had already Sc
cured permits to desist from selling
fireworks until that date. The sale
was again resumed on Monday Of
this week and the complaints re-
cefved by the mayor and police
would indicate that the children were
shooting off their fireworks as fast
as they bought them instead of saw
ing them until the Fourth.

Engineer Burke told the author
tiles that he was at the throttle of
his locomotive, situated on the right
side of the cab, and did not see the
touring car which started to cross
the track from the left until the
engine was about ten feet from it.
Burke said he jammed on the brakes
at once but the car was struck
squarely and the suction caused by
putting on the brakes and the speed
of the train resulted in four of the
occupants being carried along on

warnings which the flagnan on the
freight said were being displayed
both by the automatic bell and sig
nal device and by himself.

ID were notified today by the auth
