SEVEN PERSONS KILLED IN HIGHWAY CRASH Interurhan Car Hits Auto. Which in Turn Wrecks Second Machine. Detroit, Alay 27. —-Seven persons were killed and several injured, two danger ously, when an interurhan car bound from Pontiac to Detroit struck a blue touring car eight miles north of Detroit early this evening. The dead include four young women and three young men. • - The accident happened when a blue automobile, the driver of which is as yet unidentified, going north on Wood ward Avenue, swung out of the line of traffic to pass another car. The ma chine swerved into the interurhan track* ami. was struck square in the center. The force of the collision threw the wrecked car into the line of traffic mov ing south, wrecking another automobile. Five of the dead were in the blue tour ing car and two were in the car wrecked in the second crash. A third car was slightly damaged and some of its oc cupants cut by flying glass when it ran into the second wrecked car. Bodies of the persons in the automo bile struck by the interurhan wore prac tically stripped of all clothing, and so badly mangled as to make identification extremely difficult.

With Child in Her Arms. Is Tossed From the Mountain. Shanghai. Alav 29. —Shortage of food in the bandit stronghold at Pnotzuku before the kidnaping of a number of foreigners from the Shanghai-Poking ex press May <>. caused the brigands to ■throw 89 Chinese prisoners to death from one of the-mountain cliffs, accord ing to information received today from Father William Lensers. German priest who has made several trips to the out law headquarters. The information from lather Len sers. which came in a letter from the prelate at Lincheng. declared that the prisoners' feet were bound, and each was labeled with his name and identification before being hurled to death. One of the prisoners, a woman, was (brown over with her child iu arms. Later'the bandits notified the fam i’ies of the massacred captives, and rela tives were permitted to remove the bodies, identification being facilitated by the Want Fewer Stills and More Operators Caught. Statesville Daily. , . . Craven county commissioners paid a bill of SBOO for captured whiskey stills, at 820 per. during the month of April. The Jzc of the bill evidently caused a bit of thinking on the part of the Craven authorities, with the result that it was the conclusion that fewer stills and more of the people connected with the opera tions of the plans would be a better ar rangement. A\ hereupon the premium for captured stills was reduced to .s•> iter which should furnish a fair return on the number Craven officers have been able to find. A hootch plant accompa nied by one prisoner connected with the operation is still good for $29 iu ( raven. This may reduce the number of captured stills but it will either get better results or cost the taxpayers less money. Profanity Analyzed. Aberdeen, Scotland,' Alay 29.—Y° f ‘ on ‘ demnation attaches to a man who when pl&ving golf misses his putt oi slices his drive finds relief in an expletive or “explosive adjective.” in the opinion of Rf*v. Thomas Anderson, a United Free Church minister. The clergyman, how ever. does condemn a man who constant ly is interlarding his conversation* with bad language. The use of bad language, according to \nderson. can be divided into three classes —direct profanity, filthy langauge and expletives or “colored adjectives. 1 During the past year 13,500 girl • mothers have have been helped ’ by the Florence Crittenton Alission • homes throughout the United States. the concord times LOCAL MENTION The infant son of Air. and Airs.
