assailants, while two others who had
felled her husband with a blow on the
head, rifled his pockets Of all the val

left lying on the sidewalk beside the

men were arrested and Mrs. Elder
identified them as parties to the as

At a conference which kogOro Taxa

Tres. Roosevelt. he conveyed to the
President the Japanese governments
refusal to consent to the holding of the
conference in Europe. Minister Taxa
hira reached the executive Offices at
1915 A. NJ, and was ushered at once
into President Roosevelts private Of
flee. They remained in conference for
hour and % minutes. The unusual
length of the interview, held at a time
when scores Of people. many Of them
having important previous engage
ments with the President, were await
ing an opportunity to see Mr.. Roose-
welt. indicated clearly that it was OF
notable Importance. The conference
was not pre-arranged, but the signifi-
canoe Of the advices which Minister
Takahira bore from his government in
duced the President to deny himself
to all callers until the conclusion of the
conference.
AS he left the White House the Jap
anese minister declined to discuss the
situation in any way except to indicate
that the negotiations were proceeding
favorably. He added that negotiations
of this character constituted "a long
journey" The refusal of Japan to
agree to holding of the conference in
Europe was communicated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the Russian ambas-
sador and likewise cabled to st. Pc
tersburg. While the President did not
act in the capacity of arbiter between
Russian and Japan, he was in position,
after the conference with Minister Ia
kahira and his communication to Am
bassador Cassini, to formally announce
the selection of Washington as the seat
Of the conference.
Shortly before o'clock this after
noon, Ambassador Cassini called at, the

received by the President in the Blue
room. The President explained To- the

er details of the conference, Which
lasted half an hour were withheld.
Neither the President nor Ambassador
Cassini. after the interview, cared to
discuss for publication the nature Of
their conference.
In view of the selection of the seat
of the conference it is expected that
within few days at most Russia and
Japan will announce formally the
names of their respective plenipoten-
tiaries. 1t is deemed likely also that
coincidentally with the announcement
of the plenipotentiaries an agreement
will be reached as to the time Of hold

VIM B. Woodbridge Of Boston
---0thers Injured.
Chauffeur Mistook Opening for Branch Road
Gar Landed In Garden.

Lynn. Mass. June 15.-William But
Ter Woodbridge, prominent Boston
business man. was killed in an auto
mobile accident in Saugus, early to-
day, and a man named Wolf of New
York was seriously injured. Two 9TH
ers, A. T.. Childs Of Hotel Somerset,
Boston. and w. E. Taylor also of that
city. were shaken up but not seriously
hurt. The accident was caused by the
party mistaking a road and running
into a barbed wire fence.
Messrs. Woodbridge. Wolf and the
others attended the Country Club races
at BrOokline, yesterday. Late last
night, the four started in a large tour
ing car for the north shore, where one
of the party has a summer residence.
Early in the morning, when passing
the corner Of Broadway and FELTON,
street. in a remote section of Saugus.
the man who was opera ting the ma
chine. instead of turning to the right
of the road, mistook an opening at the
left for the highway.
The car was running at high rate
of speed and the party did not know of
the mistake until the big machine
crashed into a barbed wire fence a
short distance from the road. The car
turned over and landed in a garden.
No one had time to jump and when
Messrs. Childs and Taylor extricated
themselves from the tangle they found
that Mr.. Woodbridge had been killed.
Wolf was picked upon al unconscious
condition. He was apparently suffer-
ing from a fracture of the skull or
some other injury to his head.
Childs and Taylor aroused people in
a dwelling situated some distance from
the scene and after some delay Chief
Of Police Thompson of Saugus. was
notified Of the accident. The body of
Woodbridge was removed to local
undertaker's establishment and Wolf
was taken to the Lynn hospital.
Childs and Taylor were taken to
Boston by an automobile bound for
that city. which passed. through Sau-
gus an hour or two after the accident.
They were severely shaken up but were
not badly hurt. The wrecked car was
owned by Childs.
Mr. Wolf, the New York actuary, s.
at Lynn hospital still unconscious. The
doctors believe that his skull Is frac-
tured. Woodbridge's skull was fractur-
ed badly at the base of the brain and
his body was bruised and lacerated.
