Tut Vestibule Knocks Into Splinters
Mac bint Which Stuck Just After
Crossing.
Train No. 33, the New York and
New Orleans Limited, tu late Tues
day evening, and the cause, it was
soon learned, iwaa that the train had
struck a big automobile which had
become "stuck" just after crossing
the railroad track at Harnsbarg. The
car was a Rambler, and belonged to
Prof. Chas. Ilerty, of the faculty of
the State University at Ubapel Hill
The car was occupied by Mrs. Ilerty,
Mrs. Sanosky Mrs. Herty's aunt,
and Mrs. Ilerty s two sons. At the
wheel was Mr. Bruce Stroud. The
party was bound for Charlotte.
It was about 8 o'clock, just after
dusk. There were two care running
together, the other being occupied by
Mr. L. C. Payseur and family, of Lin
eolnton. This car 'Lad passed the
crossing, which is on a high ridge and
very difficult for automobiles. The
second car occupied by the Herty's
choked down just as the car crossed
the track. At that moment the whis
tle of the fast train was heard, and
the occupants of the car unloaded
themselves in a jiffy. Every effort
was quickly made to push the car out
of the train's way, but it could not be
budged. A pistol shot was fired to
warn the engineer of the train, -who
heard and understood it but too late
to stop the train before hitting the
machine. The car was struck and
pretty badly damaged.
The occupants were not touched in
the least as they stood to one side
impotent onlookers at the destruc
tion of their property. The engineer
as goon as he was able brought his
train to a stop and the crew went back
to render any possible assistance.
Nothing could be done and so Mrs.
Herty and her party were invited to
board the tram for home. They spent
Tuesday night in Greensboro en route
to Chapel Hill. The car remains beside
the track awaiting orders for its dis
position.
Since the above was in type, the
machine has been brought here, and it
is not damaged as much as first re
norted. Messrs. R. M. Odell and Eu-
gwBanthTddwentHfta
this morning in Mr. Odell 's "Hup"
to view the wreck. Upon the request'
of the" depot agent at Harrisburg Mr.
Qdetl drove tho wrecked car to Con
cord and it is now in Boger's garage,
it is the opinion of thse who saw the
car at Harrisburg that it was struck
by the step of the engine. The back
seat of the car was knocked free from
th6 body and the wind shield broken.
There are other minor parts of the
machine broken but with the addition
of a new rear seat and wind shield
the car will assume its former ap
pearance.' Mr. Odell had no trouble
in making the trip to Concord as there
was no damage of consequence to the
running works oif the machine. Mr.
Bernhardt drove the "Hup" on the
return trip and came through with a
perfect score.
Mob Threatens Johnson.
Jack Johnson was greeted by thou
sands of persons Tuesday night when
the train to which, his private car is
attached, pulled into Ogden.
After shaking hauds with a few
friends Johnson returned to the car
and: seated himself next to an open
window beside his wife.
: Three young roughs walked to the
open car window and applying a vile
epithet to Johnson in the presence of
his wife, dared . him to come to the
platform. Johnson started to bis feet
but one of his companions drew him
down agauk, One of the rowdies was
met at the rear platform by a kick
from one of Johnson's trainers. Of
ficers rushed up and forced the crowd
back.
. i The doors of the car were locked
and the conductor waved the engi
neer, to pull out. Several threats of
shooting were made by the rough
crowd that ; had gathered about the
car but no weapon was displayed.
One Hundred Arraigned in PhQadel
' . .. phia.
. i More than one hundred whites and
blacks, some with their heads ban
daged or showing other evidence of
their participation in Monday night's
race riot following Johnson's victory,
were-stood np before Police Magis
trates in Philadelphia, Tuesday to re
ceive 'punishment. As a rule the dis
turbers of the peace wereireleased
witb i fine but those most seriously
involved in the riots were held in
bail fy court or sent to the county
prison if or short terms. v
Thedisturbanoes were not confin
ed to ' any particular part of the city
or public parks, fights breaking out
nearly, every place where the i - two
races intermingled. The police "wee
looking for trouble in the. event of
Johnson ' victby and ruled with an
: iron band when the trouble came.
r Clubs were freely used In quelling
' the disturbances. -

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY
AT HEAD OF MOVEMENT
To Prevent Exhibition la Morinf Pic
ture of Johnson-Jeffrie. TltfA.
Telegrams received today etate that
there is a wide-spread movement all
over the country to prevent the ex
hibition of the Johnson-Jeffries fight
in moving pictures. The fight is led
by the Christian Endeavors Society
and International Association of Po
lice Chiefs, who have appealed to
President Taft and the Governor of
every State in the Union. The com
pany owning the rights to show the
pictures is believed to have spent t
quarter of a million dollars.
Mayor Fitzgerald, of Boston, an
nouneed that the pictures will not be
exhibited there. The chief o'f police
of Washington said the same. A tele
gram from New York today is as fol
lows: New York, July 6. There is a
world-wide movement against exhibit
ing moving pictures of Jeffries-Johnson
fight. Secretary Shaw, of the
Christian Endeavor Society is leading
the movement against the pictures.
He is getting in communication with
cities all over the country. Seven
have already prohibited the pictures,
and many others, including Raleieh.
. Of
Atlanta and Washington in the South
have taken preliminary action. In the
meantime films of the fight are being
brought east from Reno in a special
car, being developed en route. Till
they reach New York Friday no decis
ion will be made by owners as to tihe
method of fighting opposition to pic
tures. It was declared today, how
ever, on good authority that there
is a likelihood of a legal battle in the
endeavor to get pictures into the
cities which have barred them as a re
sult of the race riots which followed
the prize fight. The president of the
moving picture company is on the
train with the pictures but his attor
neys here are investigating.

BOY STILL MISSING.
Young Pratt Hagler Has Been Miasiai
About Ten Days.
The whereabouts of Pratt Hagler,
the young son of Mr. W. H. Hagler, of
No. 1 township, is still unknown and
is causing bis parents much anxiety.
His father, with the assistance of the
police authorities in several cities, is
making an earnest effort to find trace
of him but as yet all their efforts have
proved futile. The worry over the
disappearance of the boy is having its
effect upon bis mother and her whole
nervous system has given away under
the strain and the members of her
family are apprehensive as to her con
dition. Up to the time of the young
man's departure he had never inti
mated to any one that be had at any
time ever contemplated leaving home
and in his home life he was alwavs an
obedient and dutiful son and always
maniiested a kindly and lovable dispo
sition toward the members of his
family. He never possessed a wild
roving nature and the only cause that
can be attributed to his leaving home
was his rear of a surgeon 's knife.

Mr. Editor: There will be a Farm
ers Institute at MU Pleasant, Con

Aug. l. l shall tbank yon very much
to make a notice of it in your paper
and call the attention of your farmer
readers to the importance of attend

stitute a Women's Institute presided
over by Miss Scott at Mt. Pleasant,
and Mrs. Hutt, at Concord and Har
risburg. Women's Institutes are not
an experiment, but are regarded by
those who are most familiar with them
of even more importance than the
institutes for men. It is at the wo
mens institutes that home conditions
are discussed and improvement sug
gested that tend to the better health
of the family and to other conditions
that will mean better country homes
for our cvhildren. The uplift in the
home is the first thing necessary to
bring about contentment and prosper

At the Women's Institutes we are
offering a premium of $1.00 for the
best Ioaif of bread baked and exhibit
ed by a girl or woman living on the
farm. I shall be glad for you to an
nounce this through your paper, and
if you will supplement that by offering
a subscription to your paper for the
second premium it will be hghly ap
preciated. Thanking you in advance for your
kindness in publishing a notice of the
institutes, I am,
Yours very truly,
