Tourist Family Injured Near Monetta Yesterday. H. T. Kluttz of Benton Harbor, Mich., his wife and their four chil dren, ranging in age from 16 years to 14 months, were all injured early yesterday morning when their Ford automobile ran into Southern rail way passenger train No. 19, about 350 yards north of Monetta, 45 miles out from Columbia. Mr. Kluttz, the father, was dan gerously injured, it was said at the Baptist hospital last night, his skull having been fractured. He was op erated upon shortly after noon, but last night his condition was regard ed as critical. Mrs. Klutt.-z sustained a broken collarbone, a gash over the right eye and was considerably bryised about the body. The4 four children, Charles, Mary, (?layton and Vera, are not thought to be seriously hurt, although they are considerably bruised and suffering from minor in juries. Train No. 19 left Columbia at 7 o'clock in the morning in charge of Conductor R. A. Boozer and Engi neer J. H. Herring. The accident oc curred about 8:40 o'clock, Conductor Boozer said last night. The atomo bile, driven by Clayton Kluttz, about 15 years of age, according to the best information obtainable, struck the train about the steps on the en gine or ,the tender, Conductor Booz er said. The car was knocked to one side, turned over and thrown into a ditch. The automobile had almost come to a stop, it was said by those who were at the scene. Conductor Boozer stopped the train and after giving what assist ance he could at the road crossing, placed the injured persons on his train and carried them to Ridge Spring. At this point two physicians were called in to minister to the wounded and the coach in which the injured had been placed was transferred to Train No. 8, coming to Columbia. They were brought here by No. 8 and removed to the Baptist hospital. There is said to be a cut at the crossing where the accident occur red, making it difficult for an ap proaching train to be seen. It was understood that the family was on the way to Florida when the accident occurred, but this could not be definitely established, as ?news paper men were not allowed to see any of the injured at the hospital. The attending physician advised against allowing those hurt to talk. Batesburg, Oct. 23.-A collision between a tourist car and the South ern train No; 19, and Augusta near Monetta this morning resulted in the serious injury of three persons, a man, a woman and a child. Three other, children occupying the car es caped injury. The names of the oc cupants of the car could not be learned, but the car bore a Michigan tag. From the location and appearance of the wrecked car, it was coming in the direction of Columbia when struck. It was thrown completely around and rested bottom upwards. Various portions were torn loose, leaving the car a complete wreck. The occupants of the car, six in num ber, were placed on the train and transferred to Ridge Spring to the train to Columbia, where they were taken to a hospital. The man, it was thought, had small chance of recov ery, his skull being crushed on the right side. He was no-; conscious when placed on the train. The woman had a broken shoulder and was in jured about the head and body but was conscious. A little girl about sev en years old, had bruises about her head and other injuries. A baby about two years old and two small boys were not hurt. Manners. Many people who would like to go to an occasional movie have given it up because they are unable to enjoy the show or the music when they get there. The people who talk, the peo ple who spoon and the child who asks questions every other minute* have become too obstructive. They take the -center of the stage, s;o to speak, and reduce music and movie to a mere background. Then there are people who love motor camping or woods picnics, who have found every pleasant stop ping place along the road littered with tin cans and papers and debris of all kinds. They used toclean up after the sloppy picnicers before get ting out their own luncheon, but nowadays there are so nany sloppy picnickers that it has become too dis couraging. A great many automobile acci dents are due to the same lack of manners. The attitude o?: caring for nobody's comfort but their own which is disgusting in the theatre and on the picnic grounds becomes, 23 Women Seeking Seats in Congress. Washington, Oct.,-There are "23 women seeking seats in congress at election in November. Twenty-one are candidates for the house of rep resentatives and two for the senate. All are making an active campaign. Reports to party headquarters in dicate that their success will be nom inal. It would not prove surprising, it was said, if all -but three or four of them should be defeated. Representative Alice Robertson, Oklahoma, is a candidate for re-elec tion on the Republican ticket. Her district was democratic until two years ago. Mrs. Adeline Otero-War ren, New Mexico, defeated Repre sentative Montoya, Republican in cumbent, in the primaries and has the backing of the orgapization. It' is believed she will be victorious. Mrs. Winifred Mason Huck is the Republican nominee at large in Illi nois for the short term to fill the va cancy caused by the death of her father, Representative William E. Mason. In the first Nebraska district Mrs. E. Luela Barton, prohibitionist, is making the race rfor the short term from December to March. In North Carolina, first district, Representative Stedman, the only Confederate veteran in the house is opposed by Mrs. Lucy B. Patterson, Republican. In Arizona Representa tive Hayden,. Democrat, is opposed by Mrs. H. A. Guild, Republican. The Democratic nominees who are seeking election and are making a fight against Republican opponents' are: Ellen Duane.. Davis, second Penn sylvania; Jane E. Leonard, Twenty seventh Pennsylvania; Martha Riley, third Wisconsin; Esther K. O'Keefe, .thirteenth Indiana; Lillian C. Goula, third Minnesota, and Mrs. St. Clair Moss, eighth Missouri. The two women cs?ndidates for the senate are Mrs. Annie Dickie Oleson of Minnesota and Mrs. Jessie Hooper of Wisconsin. Mrs. Oleson is opposing Senator Frank B. Kellog and faces a hard fight, while Mrs. Hooper has as her opponent Senator LaFollette, who won the Republican nomination by a plurality of 200, 000 in the August primary. Father Refuses to Shield Son. Greenwood, Oct. 28.- Running away to sea in a stolen flivver with plans to join a fishing schooner at Savannah, three white boys landed in the city jail here yesterday morn ing after one returned and confessed to his father, who promptly carried the boy to police headquarters. The three boys in jail are Otho Darnell, 16; Madison and Hubert Westberry, aged 16 and 18, respectively, sons of Mrs. Minnie Westberry of Green wood. Young Darnell's father, J. R. Darnell, turned his son over to the police authorities. The car, the theft of which all of the boys confessed after being lodged in jail, was taken from the streets here Tuesday night, . a short time after J. T. McLees, the owner, had parked it. Sucking silently on cigarettes, bal- ; anced dexterously between their fin gers, the two Westberrys listened this morning toDarnell tell the story of their escape,interrupting occa sionally to corroborate some state ment or to laugh at some amusing feature of the trip. The three boys said they had tried to steal cars be fore dan had ridden in cars they had picked up on the streets, naming the time and place. They wrecked their car between Greenwood and Edge field Tuesday night and continued their journey to Augusta on foot. They then caught a passing freight train that by chance -brought them back to Greenwood. "I reckon our dad's dead," Hubert Westberry declared in jail this morn ing, "leastways he ran off five years ago. Me and my brother lived in Sa vannah and Brunswick, Ga., andw e were in an orphan school no St. Si mon's Island until we ran off.-Yes, life on a fishing smack 1s pretty hard, but I /guess we could have stood it; , been on 'em before."
