MORE CONCERNING ACCIDENT
President Roosevelt But Slightly
Injured; Gov. Crane Unhurt.
CROWDS HAD JUST LEFT PARK.

Pittsfeld, Mass, Sept 5.-1he presi-
dent of the United States escaped Il
tragic death by only few feet in Il
collision between his carriage and an
electric street car in this city, while
one of his most trusted guards, Secret
Service Agent William Craig, was in
stantly killed and David j. Pratt, the
driver, was most seriously injured.
President Roosevelt himself was badly
shaken up, but received only slight
facial bruise
Secretary Cortelyou sustained Il
minor wound in the back of the head
and Governor Crane, who sat beside
the president, extracted himself from
the wreck practically without .
scratch. The crew and passengers of
the car escaped injury. The president
and party were driving from this city
to Lenox, through South street, one of
the principal thoroughfares of Pitts
field, which was lined with cheering
people, and the catastrophe happened
in plain view of hundreds
Thousands had poured into the city
in the early morning from the nearby
country to see and hear the president
and his address at the city park. The
tracks of the Pittsfield electric street
railway are laid in the center of the
road, with ample room for teams on
each side aad scores of vehicles of
every description followed along this
road behind the presidents party.
just at the foot of Harvard Hill the
road bends little and teams are COM
PEELED to cross the street railway tracks
to the east side. The railroad then
continues at one side of the street, in
stead of in the center The car struck
the rear wheel of the carriage on the
left side and plowed through to the
front wheel of the vehicle, which re-
ceived the full force of the blow. The
carriage was upset in the twinl:ling of
an eye and one horse fell dead on the
tracks. The other three powerful
grays started to run and, dragged by
them and pushed by the force of the
car, the wrecked carriage was moved
thirty or forty feet. Agent Craig fell
from his seat Immediately in front of
the car and it passed completely over
his body. Driver Pratt, in falling,
struck the dead horse Immediately in
front of him and rolled off clear of the
car, thus escaping a similar fate.
President Roosevelt, Governor Crane
and Secretary Cortelyou were thrown
together in the bottom of their car
riage.
The presidents lip was cut and blood
was flowing from the wound. His
clothing was much disarranged and he
was severely shaken up. Secretary
Cortelyou had severe wound in the
back of his head from which blood was
flowing freely.
The president quickly regained his
composure and the three soon after
repaired to the residence of Mrs.
Charles d. Stevens, near the scene of
the accident.
Craig's body was taken to the resi-
dence of Mrs. b. Stevens, adjoining
the house which the president had
occupied with Governor Crane and
Secretary Courtelyou.
An anxious crowd meanwhile sur
rounded the house and the president
stopped long enough to assure the peo-
pie that he was not injured in the
least and to express his great grief at
the death of Agent Craig.

Of the southern cotton crop and IT'D

BY Street Fairs.
REPORT on ELES NATIONAL HONE.


Salt Lake City. Aug. 15.-Street
fairs or carnivals held under the
auspices Of the Elks lodges were alb
solutely prohibited by the grand
lodge Of that order yesterday. For
some time opposition to this method
Of raising funds has been growing,
It being considered that they were
not in accord with the fundamental
principles Of the order, and the re-
port of the committee on laws and
rules recommending that they DO pro-
hibted was adopted overwhelmingly.
The new law will not 60 into effect
until January l, as many lodges In
different parts Of the country have
already made plans for the holding
Of such fairs prior to that date.
The grand lodge Of Elks took sine
die adjournment yesterday, after

Baltimore for Thursday, July Fl.

The property secured for this pur-
pose was formerly the Hotel Bed
ford and was purchased by the com.
mittee for $12,O5o. The building was
constructed at a cost Of 100000. The
report recommends the expenditure
Of from $4,000 to $4,000 in repairs
before it is opened, and also recon.
mends that the grand lodge make
change in the organic law Of the
order, making it compulsory that
applicants for membership be re-
quired to procure physicians Ger.

fore being admitted.

BARTHOLIN MYSTERY
SWEATING" OF CLARrY 4 FAILURE.


Chicago. Aug. ls.-Llttls progress
was made by the police yesterday In
solving the mysteries Of the Bar
tholia case. Inspector Hunt was
convinced that he would obtain i'm
portant information from John Olaf
~. who was positively identified by
Mrs. Tallsrday a. one Of the men she
saw with the laundry wagon ON the
morning following the night Of the
disappearance Of Minnie Mitchell.
Clsfiy has been accustomed to q sup
ply Of liquor and the inspector was
Of tho opinion that he would weaken
after he had been deprived Of his al
lowance for . few days. Late yes
terday afternoon he concluded that
Claffy should be about ready to tell
what he knew and had him called
into the Office. The result was .
failure. Clany not only refused to
admit that he was one Of the men
seen by Mrs. Tallerday, but declared
with great positiveness that he was
not there ct all. When asked how
he explained Mrs. Tallerday's identi-
flcation Of him he replied that it
was not for him to explain it. She
had simply made a mistake and that
was her affair and not his. He in
sisted that he was at home In bed
at the time Mrs. Tallerday declared
that she saw him with the laundry
wagon and denied any connection
with the case. The police could
make nothing whatever out OF him
and he was locked up again.
Inspector Hunt said after the in
teryiew: II thought that we would
get the story from Claffy, but we
did not get a single thing. He de-
MED everything and stuck to his de-
malls. asked him where he was that
night and he said he was at home In
bed. ! asked him II he had not gone
to bed intoxicated and II, while in
that condition, he might not have
done some things he cannot now re-
call and he said he was sober that
night"
Milton Edwards, who arrived yes
terday from Denver, was able to do
no more than to strengthen the sus-
picion of the police regarding the
guilt of Thompson. He recited no
facts that bore directly upon the
killing of either of Mrs. Bartholn or
of Minnie Mitchell.
Oscar Thompson still declines to
tell the police anything and insists
he has told all he knows and he can
not remember where he was or what
he did on the night Of the murder
Of the Mitchell girl. He has been
subjected to such severe sweating
by the police that he is said to be
on the verge of n collapse and his
friends, who have heretofore re-
NAMED in the background, came to
the front last night in an effort to
afford him protection. They have EN-
ployed lawyer and to-day an at
tempt will be made to secure Thomp-
sons release by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. When the attorneys saw
Thompson in his cell last night the
prisoners nerves were so badly
shaken that he appeared unable to
comprehend what was being done in
his behalf.
