VHE AUTOMOBILE AGAIN. The automobile cut a large figure in the news yes- iS terdey. Only on Mondays hitherto, with the record of Sunday mishaps, has it made such encroachments on newspaper space. There was the story of the burning of Miss Lillian Russell's high-class machines—the Red Dragon and its less speedy running mate. Accompanying this was the account of the accident to Mr, F. J. Fland- ers, who, while speeding his auto through Medfom, Mass., fell ill and lost control of the machine. Thus unchecked it ran into a wall and injured its occupants seriously. | % And in this city a chauffeur, Charles Zimmerman, was 4 arrested and put under bonds of $1,000 for violating the 7 speed ordinance.
