viii Harness the Winds
To Produce Electricity

LONDON.-A plan to harness
the winds and make them produce
electricity for rural districts has
been presented to the ministry of
agriculture. The scheme involves
the erection on hill tops or low
buildings, from the sides OF which
will project huge wings. These
wings will be spun by the wind
horizontally just above the ground.
Proponents of the plan assert that
unlimited amounts OF electricity
can be obtained in this way at
minimum of cost.

RUSSIAN SOVIET
HAS KILLED HORDES
OFFICIALS HAVE EXECUTED
1,766,118 IN BLOODY REIGN.
ALL CLASSES VICTIMS.

Officials and members OF the diplo-
matte corps in Washington are as
founded by statistics received in the
capital recently tending to show that
there were 1766,1l8 persons executed
in Russia by the soviet government
since it came into power on Nov. 7,
1917, to the end OF 1921.
According to statistics the persons
executed were classified by the soviet
officials as follows: Farmers, $4,000;
intellectuals, 355,250; soldiers, 100000;
laborers, l92,350; officers, $4,000; gen
darmes, 48,500; property owners, H.
$50; police officers, 10,500; physicians,
$500; professors and teachers, 6,H5;
priests, 1,215; bishops, %.
Farmers Greatest Victims,
The fact that virtually half the total
number of persons executed were
farmers has occasioned some surprise,
and is interpreted by certain officials
as indicating that the conditions
among the Russian peasantry have
been much worse than commonly be-
lieved and as explaining to some de-
gree the shortage of foodstuffs which
has prevailed in Russia since the boil
shevists have come into power.
Stories of religious persecution in
Russia seem to be borne out by the
execution of % bishops and 1,2l5
priests prior to the beginning OF last
year, and unofficial reports received
in Washington state that more church
officials were executed last year than

The dollar Princess" is homeward
bound. The Princess Anastasia, of

Leeds, widow of the American tin
plate baron, has turned her back on
turbulent Europe and is on her way
to New York city, where she will live
with her royal husband, Prince Chris
topher, of Greece.
The American woman, favorite at
all continental courts, has been in Eu-
rope several years. during which time
she is reported to have spent several
million dollars in a vain attempt to
save the lettering throne and royalty
of Greece. She is attributed with re-
turning King Constantine to the
throne at the close of the world war.

"Tino" tottered again, finally resulting
in his second abdication. Christopher,
his brother, and Anatasia fed to Paris,

MOTOR CARS HAVE
TAKEN A BIG TOLL
ONE PERSON KILLED EVERY
40 MINUTES, OR IS A DAY ON
AMERICAN HIGHWAYS.

Automobile accidents kill one per-
son on an average of 40 minutes, or
IS day, on Americas highways and
streets. More Americans than were
killed in the world war were kill
ed and injured in automobile mishaps
last year. The total toll IS about
$4,000 persons killed and approximate
1y 10000 injured-many manned for
Killed More People Than Disease.
One-third of these were children,
not yet IS years old. Nine-tenths were
pedestrians run down by motorists.
Figures compiled in a nationwide
survey show that in 1921 the lives of
11,024 persons were snuffed out by
automobiles and approximately $4,000
were injured. These figures, compiled
from vital statistics records of each
state represent the most complete
check ever made of the American Jug
gernaut's harvest.
Motor fatalities killed more people
the past year than typhoid, malaria
and smallpox combined. They exceed
the deaths from appendicitis and equal
diphtheria fatalities-and in most cases
they could have been avoided.
And instead of decreasing or remain
ing stationary the percentage of au-
tomobile fatalities is steadily increas-
ing, despite all efforts to regulate traf-
fic. Increase in automobile traffic and
corresponding increase in the percent
age of automobile fatalities per 100000
population is shown in figures for
cities and counties where accurate
death statistics are kept.
Number of Cars Increasing.
In 1917, with 4,o33,340 automobiles
licensed, there were 6724 deaths in
motor car accidents, or death rate
from this cause of 9 per 100000 popu-
lation. With 6,146617 automobiles in
1918 there were ISIS fatalities, or 9.3
per 100000.
Automobiles numbered 7,533,343 in
1919. There were 1908 persons killed,
or "a per 100000. In 1920, with g.
211296 automobiles licensed there were
o,103 fatalities, or 1914 per 100000 pop
ulation. There were l0,448,362 licensed
automobiles operating in the United
States in 1921 In the United States

which contain 81 per cent OF the ma
tons population, there were l0,l63

DECISION MAY THROW

Tribunals OF the State. Many I'M
portant Suits Are Involved.
Two hundred or more cases pending
before the court of appeals, on appeals
from city courts, are likely to be
thrown out because of a decision by
the supreme court prescribing test
of the constitutionality of city courts,
which decision was the basis of an or
der that has been issued by the court
of appeals.
Not Constitutional
In a case from the city court of
Townsville, tried prior to the 1922
session of the legislature. the supreme
court held, on a question certified to
it by the court of appeals. that the
city court of Townsville was not a
constitutional city court when the case
was tried, for the reason that the act
creating the court did not provide for
the state in the trial of criminal cases
the right to demand jury of twelve.
Since the case was tried the act Great
ing the court was amended by the leg
islature at the 1922 session, and thus
the constitutional defect in the organ
ization OF this court has Been RENE
died, but the principle laid down by
the supreme court affects scores OF
other city courts in the state. Two
hundred or more cases from other city
courts are now pending, undecided,
before the court OF appeals.
Can't Review.
The supreme court decision holds
that judgments of a city court where
the right OF the state to demand a
Jury of twelve in the trial of criminal
cases is not provided by the laws Great
ing such courts are not subject to re-
view by the court of appeals or the
supreme court.
Accordingly the court of appeals, in
the order just issued, requests the
lawyers in the pending city courts
cases to file supplemental briefs on or
before January 9Th, setting forth
whether the acts creating such courts
make those courts constitutional III the
meaning of the supreme court decision.
Where a city court is a constitu-
tional court within that decision an
appealed case pending from it can be
reviewed by the court of appeals.
Where a city court is not a constitui-
tional court case pending from It
must be thrown out by the court OF
appeals.
The only method Of taking case
from an unconstitutional city court to
the court OF appeals-under the SUI
preme court decision in quetsion-is
bv certiorari to the superior court.
The time limit for taking the pending
cases to superior courts on certlorarii
has probably expired in majority OF
such cases.
Money Involved.
In the pending cases are not only
criminal cases but civil cases involving
large sums of money. Both classes. OF
cases are affected in like manner. That
is, a civil case cannot be taken from
CITY court having such a constitutional
defect in its organization any more
than criminal case.
At the last session of the Legislature
the city court of Dawson was amend
ed with the view to meeting the CUES

NECK BROKEN

As he walked into a building which
he was dismantling, last Thursday
afternoon, at Plant /, Lewis w
Holmes was suddenly hit by a falling
timber, rendered unconscious with a
deep cash on his forehead and re-
ceived a serious blow on the neck
which after several x-rays was pro-
nounced broken by local and Philadel-
phia physicians.
Mr.. Holmes was working as assis-
tant rigger to Frank Fow and with
two other workmen were dismantling
a Hopewell shed. which material was
being used in a Polish ship which has
been loading powder at the Deep
Water wharf. The building upon
which they were working is about
three hundred feet long and twenty
five feet wide. The two workmen had
taken off about twenty-five feet of the
roof, leaving the rafters as a skeleton
roof.
AS Mr.. Holmes walked into the
doorway of the building a rafter three
by six and about fourteen feet long
fell about twelve feet without warn
ing, struck him a terrific blow on the
forehead, throwing him backward
across a diagonal brace used to hold
up the building wall. 1t is believed
that in this backward fall his neck
was thrown crosswise of the brace and
his neck broken.
He was revived by his fellow work
ers and taken to the hospital at Deep
Water where the two inch wound in
his FOREHEAD was sewed up by the
plant physician, DR.. R. A. Lynch. He
was then taken to his home where he
spent the night. Friday morning he
YVES taken to Salem Memorial Hos
pital for observation and treatment.
X-rays were taken and examined by
Dr.. Lynch, and also taken to Phila-
delphia specialists, who verified the
diagnosis as Q broken neck.
Mr.. Holmes is now at his home, POS
North Riverside Walk, with his neck
in a bruce and doing very nicely to-
wards recovery. His progress is re
markable in view of the fact that he
is sixty wears of ace. bet his strong
constitution is what has rulled kim
thru what hundredz Of others could
not have borne.
