SECRETARY r1OODY
HURT BY RUNAWAY

Annapolis, Md, Jan 13.-Secretary
Of the Navy William H. Moody was Sc
riously but not dangerously injured at
the Naval Academy grounds yesterday
in runaway accident.
Accompanied by Senator Hoar,
chairman of the Senate naval affairs
committee. the secretary arrived here
at 2 O'Clock to inspect the new build
ings being erected In the Naval Acad-
emy grounds, being driven from the
railroad station in Superintendent
Brownsons private carriage. The bat
TALON OF cadets were drawn up In line
of salute Just inside the academy
grounds, and as the carriage bearing
the secretary, Senator Hoar and their
escort, Lieutenant Poyer. passed in
review, salute of seventeen guns
belched forth from the guns on the
Santee wharf.
The restive horses attached to the
carriage swerved suddenly and got be-
yond control of the driver. They
dashed down Upshur Row. past the
line OF cadets, the driver meantime
making every effort to quiet them. The
breaking OF the pole of the carriage as
the spirited animals dashed down the
roadway served to render them more
excited.
As the maddened animals dashed
down the hill toward College creek the
driver. seeking to stop them, suddenly
turned their heads into a vacant lot
between two houses. Secretary Moody,
who had opened the door of the car
riage as the horses dashed over the
frozen ground, suddenly leaped to the
pavement as the carriage made the
turn into the enclosure. He landed on
his face on the pavement and was
rendered unconscious by the shock.
Slight cuts and bruises on his fore
head, nose and face are thought to be
the extent of the secretary's injuries.
Neither Senator Hale nor Lieutenant
Poyer was injured. as the horses were
brought up against a wall soon after
making the turn into the open lot.
