Car Nearly Drops Into Old Well—
People should be careful in 'walk-
ing over the too of old mond wells
Without 'first making reasonably sure
that they have been properly 'filled in.
On 'Wednesday night e resident of
Mibeheil, Albert Kempston, had quite
an experience that almost started his
hair to turn ,grey. IJ'ttst' .in front Of his
garage dor was an ,old well, 'bhouglI
to have Ibsen perfectly safe, 'from 'the
fact that it had apparently 'been filled
in solidly. He was in the act of piaci
ing his 'car in the 'garage and had
just' gotten the front wheels df lt'is
auto `inside aero over the sill when,
he felt the rear .part sof the car -drop-
ping away from frim. Mr. K•envpston
jumped from the machine just in
time. The old well had 'caved .in for
some reason or other, heaving a gap-
ing hole at the bap. The 'cavity was
folly six feet in diameter and seven -
teed`'; -feet in depth and tilled" with
water to within 'Five 'feet- of the top.
The fact that the front wheels' of the
car were held by the door sal was
the only reason the car did -not drop
into the well, taking Bert with it. It
was necessary to secure a wreelciag
truck with lifting tackle ,to raise the
machine ,from its perilous position,—

from about 2609 feet and landed safe-

no greater than the had experienced bit

MAKES ®DENIAL
James Rooseveit, son and Secretary
of the President, has denied that he
was "in the political insnlrance busi-
ness."
"Political insurance is insurance
that is required by a political boar or
body in order to win coutraebs from
that boss or gang," young Roosevelt,
a member of the insurance firm of
Roosevelt &, Sargent, Inc., said in an
article published in Collier's Maga-
zine.
"Listen," he continued, "I have nev-
er written a surety bond,'a contract-
or's bond, fire insurance, or any other
kind of insurance that might by any
definition be called political. Never, ,
And I never will."
The article is the second of two in
whish the :Presidents son replied to
pu'biished charges that he made use of
his 'father's office to 'promote his own
interests and profits. The first pres-
ented his contention 'that his income
'had never touched $50,000 a yea*,
contrary to reports that it had am-
ounted to from $12dl0;OC10 to '$2,001,003.
"If all these smear •stories are vo.'
Mr. Roosevelt wrote. "they mist in-
volve many of tate government agen-
eiea ani many of those individuals
and groups to whom I've sold insar-
once. Titus, they, too, must be engag-
ed in dark practices. Doesn't it seem
to you that such improprieties are far
too wi.iespread for safety?" -
. Political insurance had been offered
hint he said, and continued, "I refused
to place bonds for tate late Joseph A.
Maynard, Collector of the Port of
Boston. I refused to accept such 'busi-
ness from Joseph McGrath, the pres-
ent Collector of Boston, 'from Peter
F, Tague, Postmaster at Boston, and
many others. These gentlemen wanted
nothing of me. They offered me the
business out of pure friendship. But
you see, I couldn't take it.
"I have thus rejected a' vast amount
of business. I bad the opportunity of
