SERIOUS AUTO WRECK A miraculous escape from death, and as it w T as, resulting in serious injuries to the driver, occurred Tuesday evening about 5 o'clock on the turn from Oakland avenue onto the Saltsburg Pike, Christ Willey, a trained nurse, left towm for a short spin. The ma chine was traveling at a fast speed and in negotiating for the turn, the machine struck the stone abutment at the culvert, sheered up the embankment and completely overturned, pinning dowm the oc cupants. Passersby rescued the couple from their precarious situation and rushed them to the office of Dr. E. E. Shaulis. Mr. Willey re ceived a bad cut on his head and 14 stitches were required to close the wound. His daughter received a slight cut on her face and was painfully bruised. Two wheels of the car were torn off, the windshield broken and the top smashed, but the motor continued to run. At least seven accidents have Occurred at this point, four of them this summer and it is quite likely that a sharp protest will be sent to the State Highway Department, demanding that the curve be eliminated.

WILSON IS GIVEN ROUSING RECEPTION BY RAILROAD MEN PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11— President Wilson, who was in this city for 18 minutes this af ternoon waiting for his private car "Mayflower" to be attached too a western express train in street station, heard about 300 Pennsylvania railroad employes, the majority of them in uniform, shout that they in tended to vote for him. The rail road men's noisy welcome was the result of the Adamson eight hour law for railroad men. For nearly every minute of the 18 Mr. Wilson leaned over the brass rail of the observation platform and shook hands with a file of conductors, brakemen, engine men, yardmen and others who marched past. Pullman car por-' ters, waiters and cooks also were welcomed with a Wilson handshake. "I am for you Mr. Wilson," was what dozens of the railroad men shouted up at the president as he shook their hands. The two cars were pocketed on a track between two empty trains. The trainmen surged down the platform and Mr. Wil son, clad in a gray suit and bare headed, was ready for them- Railroad police whipped the enthusiasts into line. In the lapel of those n<jt in working clothes were Wilson buttons and small emblems worded: "We win with Wilson."

KLINGENSWITH CHARGED WITH ARSON AND ROBBERY William Klingensmith, a young electrician of Oakland avenue, was arrested Saturday noon, last, on charges of arson and robbery, growing out of the Bon Ton fire, and now occupies a cell in the county jail. The arrest was the climax of a week's in vestigation that had been con ducted by Deputy State Fire Marshal Clyde W. Seanor and B. W. Ford, assistant superin tendent of the Pinkerton Agency at Pittsburgh. Suspicion was first attracted by the fact that the wire screening had been cut from the rear door of the Bon Ton store with pliers that are used principally by electricians. In his conversation with other persons the thread of the crime vvas traced to the unfortunate young man. His actions for the past five years have not been exactly sane and many little in cidents are being recalled of queer actions carried on at dif~ . ferent times. Two typewriters were recov ered from the Klingensmith home, also a telephone, a dozen or so whisk brooms, spools of thread, thimbles, nail files and other trinkets; three pairs of shoes, taken from Christy's Shoe store, several safety razors and pipes taken from the R. W. Wehrle store- The typewriters and telephone were taken from the Indiana Ladder factory. An other typewriter is said to have been taken from the Wehrle store. His mania appeared to be for typewriters and trying to sell one of the typewriters last Friday suspicion was aroused and led to his arrest the next day. In searching the attic of a small building in the rear of the Klingensmith home, many arti cles were found that had been taken. PENROSE THE STAGE MANAGER That was another nice, ing jolt handed the progressives and independent Republicans in this section Saturday when Bois Penrose designated Beidle man, his handy man, to look af ter the arrangements for Mr. Hughes' five-minute visit to this city tomorrow. Are pro gressives still in doubt that a vote for Hughes is a vote for Penroseism Jin tfiie state land Beidlemanism in the county, or must a house topple over?
