KILL7.INJUREI7
Racers Jump Track at Motor
drome, Plunging Into Crowd.
More Likely to Die.
NEWARK, N. J.. Sept. 9.—While a
triple investigation was going on today
of the motorcycle disaster yesterdaj- at
the Vallsburg, N. J., motordrome, when
a runaway cycle crashed from the
track into the stadium, the death list
was increased to seven victims.
The seventh victim of the tragedy
was William Barnet, aged 24, of New
ark. whose skull was fractured. He
died today in City hospital.
Seventeen others were in the hospital
suffering from injuries and it was said
there that some of them were in des
perate condition and might die. County
Physician W. D. McKenzie has joined
forces with the police and County
Prosecutor Motting in Investigating the
tragic affair.
Although It is believed the verdict
will exonerate the management of the
stadium motordrome, Paul J. C. Berk
urn. of Los Angeles, Cal., manager of
the place, was ordered to appear at po
lice headquarters today and give his
version. The stadium was supposed to
combine the latest safety appliances,
being a new building. It was thrown
open to the public for the first time
July 4.
Two Racers’ Widows Mourn.
Mrs. Hasha, wife of Eddie Hasha, the
ninoteen-year-old speed king of Waco,
Texas, who was one of the victims. Is
p ostrated over her husband’s death
and is under the care of a physician.
She was married a year ago to Hasha
in Denver, after a romance which be
gan when the girl bride saw her hus
band riding a daring race.
The wife of Johnnie Albright, who
was Kasha's opponent in the race is
likewise suffering today from the shock
of seeing her husband killed. Albright
was a Denver man and considerable
rivalry existed between him and his
youthful rival from Texas.
Police Captain A’ogel, who has been
investigating, declared that in his opin
on the tragedy was caused by exces
sive speed.
"Hasha was going 92 miles an hour
v n the front wheel of his motorcycle
jumped from th'e saucer track and
iciped among the spectators on the
first row of benches," said Vogel.
"'Whether or not. the police will make
speed restrictions for future races I do
not know, but there is a possibility
of it."
The bodies of two of the victims, one
a boy of about fourteen and the other a
outh aged about twenty, are still un
identified in the'morgue.

ought to grow a beard, according to
the Paris police. French law prohibits
women from wearing the sterner sex’s

TO SEE BUD TOT
Child Killed by Car While
Mother Is in Hospital Par
ent Suffers Relapse.
Baby Grace Mayfield, killed by a trol
ley ear near the Federal prison, will be
buried this*afternoon, but her mother
will not be able to follow the little
white hearse to the cemetery. She rose
from her bed in Grady hospital when
she heard of her baby.’s death, and went
home to clasp tiny body in her
arms, but after this she collapsed.
Baby Grace, the three-year-old child
of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Mayfield, who
live near the prison, tried to follow an
elder sister across the trolley car track
near the prison. Her sister did not see
the baby, nor did the motorman. W. J.
Vurce. notice the child in time to slop
his car. The wheels struck her and
killed her instantly.
Mrs. Mayfield was slowly recovering
from an operation at Grady hospital.
When the news of her baby’s death was
broken to her she pleaded piteously that
she might go home, and the hospital
authorities permitted her to leave, send
ing her home in an ambulance. She
was so broken by the shock and the
journey home that she will not be able
to rise from her bed again for several
weeks.
DRUID HILLS M?E.
CHURCH OPENS; OLD
BELL HEARD AGAIN
The new Druid Hills Methodist
church was opened yesterday morning
at 11 o clock, and the dhurch today was
pronounced one of the most beautiful
edifices in the city.
After many months of silence, old
Trinity Methodist church’s bell pealed
forth in its familiar tones a call to
services yesterday morning. But the
call was not to Trinity church. That
old structure is being torn away. The
Druid Hills church has the old bell of
Trinity church, the bell being one of
the few things left undisturbed when
Sherman passed through Atlanta In
1864.
Bishop Warren A. Candler delivered
the opening sermon. His text was: "I
am not ashamed of the Gospel of
Christ.” Dr. W. P. Lovejoy, presiding
elder of the Atlanta district; Dr. W. C.
Lovett, editor of The Wesleyan Chris
tian Advocate; Dr. John S. Jenkins and
Rev. H. J. Ellis were other ministers
present. A special program
was rendered by the choir, with the
accompaniments played on the pipe or
gan to the purchase of which Andrew
Carnegie contributed.
The new church is at the corner of
Seminole and Blue Ridge avenues.
a wonderful stomach, liver and bowel
cleanser, regulator and tonic, the
safest and most positive ever devised.
The day of violent purgatives, such as
calomel, pills, salts and castor oil, is
past. They were all wrong. You got
relief, but at what a cost! They acted
by flooding the bowels with fluids, but
these fluids were digestive juices. Syrup
of Figs embodies only harmless laxa
tives, which act in a natural way. It
does what right food would do—what
eating lots of fruit and what plenty of
exercise will do for the liver, stomach
and bowels.
Be sure you get the old reliable and
genuine. Ask your druggist for the full
name. "Syrup of Figs anad Elixir of
Senna,” pt epared by The California Fig
Syrup Company. Hand back, with
scorn, any Fig Syrup imitation recom
mended as "just as good."
