Five persons who occupied a Chevrolet sedan which hurtled over a 25 foot embankment on Highway 64 near New Bloomfield last night escaped with no injuries but minor faruises. Floyd Miles, of' St.

Louis, was driving his car toward Jefferson City about 10 o'clock when, three miles north of New the headlights on the machine went out. Unable to stop immediately, though the Chevrolet was traveling at a. moderate rate of speed, and left in utter drakness when the car lights went out, Miles coulcl not avoid the accident. The car turned over twice. The party, including Mrs.

Miles, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Turner and Clyde Monroe, all of St. Louis, were enroute to Brazito where Mr. Miles's brother, Dewey, resides.

They came to Jefferson City where the automobile was repaired' to the extent of $65 and proceeded to Brazito this morning. Two automobiles operated by D. W. Maupin of this city and Edward Boester, of St. Louis, were badly damaged last night when they collided at the Intersection of Miller and Chestnut Streets.

Boester, driving a Buick owned by Spot Renn of this city, was traveling east on Miller street when his machine was struck by a Ford coach operated Each driver agreed to assume the damages of his own machine. In 'a peculiar accident, a Ford coupe owned by Glenn Waddill was damaged last night on Dunklin Street near Jackson when it rolled down the hill across the curbing and into the hollow many feet below. "Waddill, attempting to park against the curbing, was unable to make hte brakes hold after the clutch on the machine had slipped. The car, propelled by Its own momentum, rolled across the pave- make the brakes hold 'after the 011 down the embankment. A tree slackened the speed, however, and without turning over the car came to a stop.

No one was hurt. The luminous sphere soars high above the stands, glides swiftly to the pavement, Is smothered as It disappears into the East, and the Reed Brothers check off another lost baseball to the heavy nightly toll. Maangers of the park here today discussed with police ways to prevent kids from stealing the balls that fall behind the grandstand and into the highway at the White Way Park during the night ball games. Hired horse-hide detectives don't have a chance against the bands of youngsters that congregate outside the park. As a ball appears over the stands and there is a mad scramble in its direction.

The winner of the chase puts full speed ahead toward town and home. Much attention has been taken from the game while fans watch racing. Such tactics have cost the Reed Brothers a total of 60 baseballs in the last seven games, and begins to be one of their heaviest expenses. The boys who take the balls can easily be checked and found during the day. The managers have decided that this method is the best solution to the problem.

Chief of Police Harry Parker today granted permission for the placing of badges on the park men who retrieve the balls, giving them authority to handle i.he youngsters in any manner that may be necessary. Boys taking baseballs will be checked and will be subject to the same procedure as is customary in petty thefts. MIPS FITItLl Speed Pilot's Plane Falls 3000 Feet In Fourth Crash of Air Races.

Electing two sets of officers, the' Republican County Committee this afternoon was further from agreement than ever before. The split came alter David W. Peters, currying a proxy, led eleven coiiimlttccinen out of the meeting at the courthouse after being ruled out of order by Acting Chairman Kruse.

Proceeding upon the theory that a quorum was present at the time- the motion was made and carried the Blaser adherents this afternoon cla-imcd they had perfected the organization nnd elected Wm.

the meantime the Llnhardt faction, led by Peters, disappeared from the courthouse. They later assembled at 217 East McCarty Street nnd with eleven members present in person or by proxy, elected the following of fleers: Vic Wltthaus, chairman; Mrs. James Bacon, vice-chairman; Mrs Ruth E. Homer, secretary, and Cecil C. Case, treasurer.

A spokesman of the meeting declared that the organization would be certified to the state committee. It was regarded as certain that the Blaser faction would certify the officers elected by them to the state committee also. They hold that his election was accomplished at a regular session and not at a rump meeting, and that more than 11 members of the committee were in the room at the time the motion to make the temporary organization permanent was carried. When the meeting was callde to order with William Kruse presiding, the following proxies were presented: Cecil C. Case for J.

O. Erhardt; A. J. Kremer for Mrs. James Roark; Dr.

Hugh W. Maxey for Martin Glpfert; David W. Peters for Mrs. R. Rockelman.

Peters was on his feet to make a motion when Asel arose to a point of order declaring Peters had no voice in the meeting inasmuch as the proxcy he carried, was in question. The chairman ruled the point of order well taken. Peters again attempted to speak and Kruse invited him to "sit down." "If that is the kind of treatment we are going to get here," said Peters, "those who favor Vic Witthaus follow me." He started to the door and the others of the Llnhardt faction followed him. The bolt caused considerable confusion coming so soon after the meeting had convened. Candidates threw up their hands helplessly.
