TWAS MRS. r. g. INGERSOLE
Who stayed on &. 6. Haven Jrs. Tallyho
When the Horses Ran Away.

1t was Mrs. Francis G. Ingersoll of Rye
n. Y, who so narrowly escaped death or
serious injury on Monday when the horses
attached to a talyho owned by George G.,
Haven. Jr, ran away at Columbus avenue
and Ninety-second street.
RYE, n. Y, May 12.-Mrs. Francis G..
Ingersoll, who so narrowly escaped death
on George G.. Haven, Jr s, runaway coach
is prominent in society and club life She
is a beautiful brunette and an expert whip,
and frequently drives four-n-hand. Mr.,
Ingersoll said at his home tonight:
Il don't know why there should be such
a fuss over my wife's act. She did not do
anything wonderful but simply did what
any nervy woman should do. Mrs. 1nger-
soil is a plucky woman, anyway. She was
not hurt any and is feeling ali right. My
wife is a sister of George and Marion Haven:
Yes. my father was the late Gov. lngersoll
of Connecticut. | would probably have
been on the coach with my wife had l not
fingered behind to transact some business
with Mrs. Haven
Mrs, Ingersoll modesty declined to be
interviewed, but this is her story Of her
escapade as she told it TO her husband.
Il shall never forget that ride on top Of
the runaway coach. 1t was the most
thrilling experience of my life. 1t l. for
t,,nate that no one was in njured. MIR. Haven
and his groom did not jump down with the
intention of running to the horses heads,
but were thrown from their seats and l
was left alone on top of the big coach.
What / did seems like a dream. The
trouble began with a collision with trolley
car at Ninety-second street. What prob
ably saved my life occurred at Central
Park West. where the tallyho struck an
Eighth avenue car and became wedged in
between the car and a tree, held on tight
to the seat, and this saved me from falling
when the collision occurred

REV. MR. MYERS NOT SATISFIED

The Rev. Cortland Myers of Brooklyn
is not entirely satisfied that the big batch
OF gamblers, whom he recently hailed TO
court and had convicted, were let off with
fines of $1,000 and $500 instead of being
sent to the pententiary for a brief period
of retirement.
"If all these men, he said, had been
sent to the penitentiary for from one to three
months ii would have done great deal more
to stop this form of gambling. Why, several
Of the convicted men walked out of the
court room after they were sentenced and
right in the corridor they offered to bet
on the races with my detectives, who were
standing there.> That shows how much
they cared for their punishment Such men
find no difficulty in paying fine

In fog of the Banks at 1880 o'clock on
Sunday morning. the North German Lloyd
liner Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, in yester-
day from Bremen, Southampton and Cher

eleven knots, or half speed, which is about
full speed for the Planet Venus.
The officers on the bridge heard family

Kaiser's starboard bow. Their hearts

Why the Planet Venus was heading

the freighters skipper mistook the fog
whistle Of the Kaiser for signal indicating
that she would pass the Planet Venus to

helm to get entirely clear Of the liner. If
the freighter had held her course there
would have been no peril for either vessel;
