PAGE TWELVE ONE KILLED, SIX HURTp WHEN AUTO CRASHES INTO ROAD BARRICADE

BRAZIL, Ind., July 6. One person was killed and bIx others -were injured, one probably fatally, Tuesday night, when an automobile crashed into a barricade at the end of the pavement on the new National highway, three and a half miles west of this city.

The dead: MRS. WILLIAM II. PERKINS, years old, Indianapolis. The injured: MRS. WALTER H. PERKINS,

years old, Indianapolis, suffering from nervous shock and bruises; condition serious. HARRY QUIGG. 40 years old, Greencastle, Ind., cut and bruised about head and body; probably fatally injured. MISS MEDIA QUIGG, 17 years old.

injured about head and face and one

eye injured. MISS VIRGINIA QUIGG, 13 years old, bruised about body; injuries no serious.

MISS HELEN PERKINS, 13 years

old, cut and bruised about face and bodv, not seriously injured. MISS CATHERINE PERKINS, 8 years old, back sprained, mouth cut,

face bruised and several teeth knock

ed out.

The injured persons are in the Raw-

ley hospital here. En Route to Indianapolis The party was en route to Indiana

polis from Harrisburg, 111., where the

members had been visiting relatives

Quigg was driving and according to

witnesses was traveling at a rapid speed. The new highway has been paved from Terre Haute to a point three and a half miles west of this city and Quigg, it is said, failed to note the barricade consisting of ties and a cable at the end of the pavement. When the car crashed into the first obstruction, Mrs. Walter Perkins fainted and fell to the floor of the auto

which probably saved her life. The

car then struck the cable which tore off the top. The wire caught Mrs. William Perkins under the chin and

broke her neck. The car turned over and was demolished, burying the oc

cupants under the debris. It is said there were not warning lights on the road barricade and it is also said, the lights on Quigg's car were not burning.

Mr. Allison and Mr. Pittman were enroute from here to Columbus in the truck, behind which they led the mule. The mule fell when the truck rounded a curve in the road. Mr. Pittman, who

was anving the car, looked back to

see what had happened and the car left the road, going into a ditch. He steered the machine back to the road and the animal, which was trying to get on its feet, plunged against the truck, turning it over into the ditch. Mr. Allison was thrown through the windshield and died a few minutes

URGE EVERY FARMER TO WAGE CAMPAIGN AGAINST BUG PESTS

"Every farmer in Center township should fight the chinch bugs as hard as he can," was the substance of a resolution adopted at the special meeting of Center township farmers, called Tuesday night to discuss the subject of chinch bug control. Reports indicated that the bugs are present in many parts of the township although in varying strength, and it was felt that each man would benefit not only himself, but his neighbors, by eliminating the pest from his land, or if that is impossible, by at least holding the numbers as low as possible, and co-operating this winter in an intensive burning campaign. Plans were made for obtaining a quantity of barrier oil and placing it for distribution at some point in Centerville, where farmers will be able to get it readily. One drum of oil lias been brought into the township already by Arvel Dailey, and is available at his farm. Fear Second Brood Fear of the second brood was expressed by several, and testimony of destruction by the late bugs was given by Dan Medearis in telling of a visit to Kansas during "chinch bug

year. Nice looking corn, full grown, and standing taller than my head," said Mr. Medearis, "which had bugs of the second brood on it, did not have an ear on a stalk. Here in Center I saw them today on the Charley Gaar farm so thick that it looked as though there were 1,000 to a stalk. I told him they would take the corn in two weeks." Arvel Dailey, who has been fighting the bugs for some time stated that they would take three or four acres of corn, but he had been able to keep them out of the rest. Telling of the barrier line which stops the progress of the bugs and traps them in portholes, he said: "Some holes will fill an inch in the afternoon."

fBv Associated Press) NEW YORK, July 6 Scientists and Inventors today discussed the remarkable qualities of a new gun, which Dr. Miller Reese Hutchinson, former chief engineer for Thomas . A. Edison, claims may be developed to hurl a projectile of five tons from two hundred to three hundred miles. Its velocity, he declared, ranges from one to five miles a second. The noise it made at a demonstration yesterday sounded much like the click of a cash register though only a miniature weapon, with an eight inch barrel was used. Its projectile may be stopped in a sheet of steel with the precision of a trolley car. The gun is the invention of John Temple, an Englishman, who developed the idea in this country. The demonstration, held in the presence of scientists and newspaper men, and curiously enough, held in Dr. Hutchinson's office on the fiftyfirst floor of the Woolworth building. The testing grounds consisted of a box of sand on the floor of the office, over which was placed a sheet of steel three-quarters of an inch thick. Pointing the gun downward toward the fifty offices filled with people beneath him. Dr. Hutchinson discharged the weapon and the cash register click was heard. In the sheet of steel there was lodged a projectile three inches long and one-half inch in diameter. The ends stuck out on either side of the steel. Dr. Hutchinson explained that the tail end of the projectile was threaded and served the purpose of a bolt. This

feature, he declared, could be used in bolting a plate over a hole in the hull of a leaking ship at sea. Dr. Hutchinson said a demonstration was held recently in the New York navy yard of the practicability of deep sea riveting with the gun. A diver went 35 feet below the surface and fired a shot. The diver refused to believe the gun had been discharged, as he said there had been no percussion and no recoil. He was shown the plate of the ship he had fired into, however, and later a Dressure of Pivv,t

tons was required to force the projectile from its place. Has High Velocity Thl demonstration gun used by Dr.

Hutchinson had a velocity of one mile ! hammer.

a second. He aeciarea tne nign power rifles now in vogue obtain their velocity through the use of small projectiles, long barrels and about three times as much powder as is used in the new weapon. The principle of burning the powder, which does not permit waste, before the projectile even starts to move has been applied in the gun. Dr. Hutchinson explained, as he showed many other things which to the lay mind were as unintelligible as a lecture in higher mathematics would be to the average lad of ten. The elimin

ation of a loud report, he said, wa3 obtained by .confinement of the expanding gases to the chamber from which the projectile emanated. The weapon
