DISASTER AT CAPITAL
Ten Persons Drowned by the
CapSizing Of a Launch.
WERE WATCHING BOAT RACES

Victims Boat, Ordered BY Authorities
Out Of the Way, Caught BY Under
tow-continuance Of Races Arouses
Criticism.
Washington, Aug. 15.-Ten persons
were drowned as the result of the cap
sizing Of a naphtha launch on the Po-
tomac river off Georgetown, the west
ern section Of this city, during the an
nual Potomac regatta. -Four others
who were on the launch escaped. All
but one were from this city. -Four Of
the victims were women. and the six
men who met death went down while
trying to save their companions lives.
The accident was the worst in the
history Of Potomac river racing. The
capsized launch was the Recreation.
owned by Drs. Stewart and Wagner.
During the first race the launch got in
the way Of the eight cared shells, and
its wash was such that the officials
reprimanded It's crew and ordered them
out Of the way. There was some show
Of resentment at this order, and the
launch headed for the shore, but mis-
calculated its course and, striking the
strong undertow. caused by q mfllrace,
rocked for a moment aud as the pas
sengers rushed to one side turned
turtle.
Only few Of the thousands Of people
that lined the shore Witnessed the ac-
cident but the police Immediately set
to work 10 recover the bodies. Many
OF the spectators, including officials Of
the District government. protested
against the continuance of the racing
in view Of the tragedy, but the officials
in charge declined to stop the sport,
saying it was inexpedient because peo-
pie had come on from numerous other
cities to take part and that the regatta
was the result of long laid plans, in
which many outside interests We're con
cerned. There was a great deal Of crit
icism Of this decision.

Mr.. Leishman firmly refused to con

acceptance OF the American list Of
about 800 schools, hospitals, charitable
