KLEIN STREET CLOSED.
No Longer Crossing Place of Santa Fe
on East Side.

Klein street, which extends from
Fourth to Seward avenues and forms
the only place for crossing the Santa Fe
tracks, is being closed up by the Santa
Fe railway, which has bought the street
from the city as a portion of the shop
land.
1t has been the plan of the city to sub
stitute Branner street for Klein as a
crossing place over the Santa Fe tracks.
Branner is a block east of Klein. To
obtain entrance to Branner street on the
south, it was necessary to buy a strip
of land owned by the Klein heirs. The
city paid $500 for this strip, but there
is hitch in the negotiations, and mean
time there is no way to get across the
Santa Fe tracks.
The title to the land which the city
has purchased is in question, and the
city is waiting for some agreement to be
made which will save the city from loss
in case the land should be held by the
court to belong to some one beside the
Klein heirs

KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE.
z. Fl. Benedict, Son of Friend of Ex-
President Cleveland, Is Crushed

West Point, N. Y. Oct. 21.-An acci-
dent occurred near here late Saturday
which resulted in the death of Freder-
ick H. Benedict, son of E. c. Benedict,
an intimate friend of former President
Cleveland, and the fatal injury OF Gren-
vile Kane, guest of Mr.. Benedict
Mr.. Benedict and Mr. Kane, with a
chauffeur, started from Tuxedo in an
automobile for West Point to attend
the football game. A thunderstorm
came up and the fall of rain made the
roadway slippery. In descending a hill
the chauffeur lost control and ran into
breakwater with such violence as to up
set the machine. Mr.. Kane was thrown
under the magazine, which weighed 400
pounds. The automobile then toppled
entirely over and Mr.. Benedict was
crushed beneath it's weight. The acci-
dent occurred about two miles north of
Central Valley.

CURIOUS TALES.
Regarding the Relations of Lord
Roberts and Mr.. Brodrick.

New York Oct. 21.-Concerning the
South African situation, the London
correspondent of the Tribune cables:
There are some curious tales going
about with regard to the relations be-
tween Lord Roberts and Mr. Brodrick.
1t is said that things are not moving Is
smoothly as they might do in Pail Mall
and that the secretary of war is not re-
ceiving that support from the military
side of the war office, which he is enti-
tied to expect. Mr.. Brodrick is certain
ly doing his best to introduce reforms
in his department, but the permanent
officials are so powerful that a thorough
reorganization is not to be expected.
Not a few military men believe that
Lord Kitchener is the only person real
Iy capable of tackling the serpent of
red tape which strangles every attem pit
to run the war office on business lines.

Need Not Be Extravagant

Washington Oct 21-Mrs. Roosevelt
was discussing her winter toilet with a
friend and remarked that any woman

White House further explained that
hitherto she had never spent that year,
but she supposed a greater outlay
would now be necessary.
Mrs Roosevelt said her plan had been
to buy three gowns a year, and to get
the best of material and to employ the
best artists. These gowns were a street
dress of cloth. usually of tailor-made
effect; an evening gown and gown
which could be used on all occasions in
the house.

Paris Papers Say Daring Air Navi-

New York. Oct. 21.-The question
whether Santos Dumont technically
won the Deutsch prize arouses the
keenest interest in sporting circles and
is editorially discussed today by the
leading Partisan newspapers. With the

the contention of the Marquis de Dion
that Santos Dumont did not accomp-
lish the course within the time limit of
80 minutes, all the papers. including
Figaro, the Gaulois. The Temps, The
Debats and the Steele, hold that Santos
Dumont won within the time limit pre-
scribed by the conditions. This is also
the opinion of Baron de Zuylen, the
president of the automobile club who is
recognized as an unquestionable auth
ority on such matters. says the Irl-
