AUTO IS NREc k \
Son Of millionaire Thomas j. walsh
Killed-Eive Others Are
~ Injured. (, =

Newport, r. l.. Aug. 21.-vinson
Walsh, son of Thomas F. Walsh, the
millionaire mine owner Of Colorado,
was killed and four Of his companions
injured in the wreck of an automobile
at Kaston's beach, near>xhis city, Sat
urday afternoon. All Of the injured are
young people, prominent members OF
the Newport summer colony. They
are Miss Evelyn Walsh, sister or the
map killed; Mrs. Evelyn L. Kernochan,
Of Hampstead, L. l.; Harry Oelrichs,
son Of Charles M. Oelrichs. OF New
York; Herbert J. Pell, Jr., son Of Her.
bert Pell, of New York.
All of the injured will recover. Miss
Walsh was the most seriously hurt.
Her right leg was fractured above the
knee and she was badly cut and
bruised. Mrs. Kernochan and Messrs.
Pell and Oelrichs were only bruised.
Vinson Walsh, who was considered
one of the most expert. chauffeurs in
Newort, despite his youth, was driving
the car, although his chauffeur was
along. He was noted for his fondness
for travelling at high rate Of speed.
At the end Of Kaston's beach there
is q small creek crossed by wooden
bridge. The approach to the bridge is
down steep grade, and this fact gave
an added impetus to the heavy car.
which already was running at dan
gerous rate of speed. Just before the
big touring car reached the bridge a
tire on one of its rear wheels burst.
This caused the heavy machine to
swerve from it's course just as it came
upon the bridge. The machine struck
the wooden ratings of the bridge with
full force, crashing through them as if
they had been Of glass.
The bridge is six feet above the sur
face of the water in the creek. AS the
automobile went crashing through the
railing and over the edge Of the bridge,
it turned a half somersault, landing in
the water upside down with all. Ave of
it's occupants and the chauffeur beneath
it. Fortunately number of~other au~
tomobile parties, who also were re-
turning from the Clam Bake club, we're
following close behind, and help was
at hand almost instantly.

LORD cURZON QUITS.
Tenders His Resignation as Viceroy
of India-Earl Of Mimic
Succeeds Him.

London, Aug: 21.-The resignation
of Lord Curzon> of Kedleston, as vice.
roy of India and the appointment Of
the earl of Mimic as his successor, was
announced at the India Office Sunday.
According to the correspondence, which
is issued in the form of white book,
it appears that Lord Curzon's resigna-
ton was cabled to that office on August
IL. The correspondence shows a de-
cidedly bitter feeling between Lord
Curzon, the India office and Lord
Kitchener, commander-in- of the
forces in India, over the new plan of
army administration in India. Lord
Curzon's dissatisfaction came to a head
with the refusal of the cabinet to ap-
point Maj. Gen. Sir Edmund Barrow,
on Lord Curzon's recommendation, mill
tary supply member of the council.

GRANTS PEOPLES PRAYER
Gear of Russia Orders Formation Of
National Assembly with I'm
portant Powers.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 12.-Russia's
national representative assembly, the
fruit of decades of stress and striving
for reform, which endows the Russian
people with the right of being consult
ed through their chosen representa-
tives in the suggestion, preparation
and repeal of legislation, to-day takes
it's place among the fundamental insti-
tutions of the empire. In solemn
manifesto Emperor Nicholas announces
this morning to his subjects the frui-
ton of his plans summoning the rep
resentatives of the people, as outlined
by him in a rescript issued on March
3 last, and fixes the date for the first
convocation as mid-January, and In
ukase, addressed to the senate, form
ally orders that body to register as the
imperial will a law project, formulat-
ing the nature, powers and procedure
of the~new governmental organization.
The national assembly will be con-
sultative organization in connection
with the council of the empire and not
a legislative body. The powers of the
emperor remain theoretically absolute.
AS the emperor is the supreme law
giver and autocrat, the decisions Of
the Douma have only a recommends
tory and not a binding force, though
the rejection of any legislative meas
ure by a two-thirds' majority of both
houses is sufficient to prevent that
measure from becoming law. The rep
resentatives of the people will have
not only the right to be heard on any
legislation proposed by the govern
ment, but also can voice their desires
on new laws and will have the right
to exert q certain supervision over
budgetary expenditures. The suffrage,
though wide, is not universal. 1t is
based on property qualification, the
peasantry having vote through mem
bership in communal organizations. A
considerable portion of the residents
of the cities, possessing no lands, to-
gether with women, soldiers, civil
functionaries, ETC., are without suf-
frage.

THE VIRGINIA DISASTER.
Thirteen Bodies Taken from Cars
Which Plunged into River
Five Persons Missing.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 199.-The removal
Friday of the two Atlantic Coast line
cars which plunged into the open draw
at Elizabeth river Thursday afternoon
revealed but two bodies in the first car,
making the number of bodies recov-
cred -, with FIVE persons missing.
None of the injured now In the hos
pitfalls will die, but a majority OF them
will be sent to their homes In = day or
two. The bodies of the dead will be
forwarded to their homes to-day. A
careful examination of the bottom Of
the river showed NO more b0dtae, and
the railroad officials are convinced that
the death list is now completes. though
reports are still currentrof u huch
heavier loss of life. All day lore the
operations of the rescuing and reck-
ing crews continued. There. were re-
ports that in the raising Of one IL the
submerged cars the end of the coach
was loesened and bodies were washed
back into the stream and foated4 away
with the tide. Later reports, however,
denied this story. The small casualty
list in the first car, which was com
pletely submerged, is explained by the
theory that when the emergency
brakes were applied many Of the pas
sengers thought collision was immi-
nent and they rushed into the second
car, and all of them had time to, es-
cape, except two, before the car finally
sank beneath the surface of the river.
The train was running at rate of
Is or 20 miles an hour as it approached
the bridge. The specific orders Of the
road to stop all trains at the bridge,
whether the draw is open or not, were
apparently ignored. The train plunged
into the abyss. Both engineer and fire.
man discovered the open draw too
late to stop the train. The air brakes
were applied, but did not work prop.
