He RIDES No MORE
Vincent WaIsh's Auto
PIunges Into Creek.
He is Killed, and Four Other Prominent
Members Of the Newport
Colony Receive Severe
Injuries.

Newport, r. l., August 19.-Vinson
Walsh, son of Thomas f. Walsh, of
Washington, was killed, and four
other young members of the Newport
summer colony were injured in an
automobile accident here this after
noon. The injured include Mrs.
James L. Kernochan, of Hampstead,
l.. l.; Harry Oelrichs, son of Charles
NJ. Oelrichs, of Newport and New
Yorok; Herbert Pell, Jr.. son of Her
bert Pell, of New York, and Miss
Evelyn Walsh, sister of the man who
was killed. 1t is believed that the in
jured will recover.
The automobile, which was driven
by young Walsh. struck the railing of
bridge spanning a creek near East
ern Point and plunged into the water.
Whether Walsh lost control of it or
the machine became disabled, has not
been ascertained.
The accident was witnessed by
friends and other. automobIists, who
succeeded in rescuing the five Occu-
pants of the Walsh machine, not, how
ever, without great difficulty, due to
the fact that all the members of the
party were lying beneath the heavy
car. The water in the creek was not
deep and to this circumstance is due
in part, the rescue.
=
old, was not instantly killed, but died
soon after he was taken from the
water. 1t was learned later that as
the automobile crashed over the
bridge his head came in contact with
an iron beam.
The occupants of the car were on
their way to attend q luncheon given
at the Clam Bake Club near Eastern
Point. by Mrs. Clement c. Moore. The
"A a
40-horSe power vehicle, was speeding
rapidly down a hill. other young
people who were following the Walsh
machine suddenly were Mortified to
see the automobile in front of them
swerve and disappear over the creek
bridge. In its swift flight the big car
tore an opening through the heavy
bridge ratings and then was precipi-
tated into the creek, capsizing in its
passage and imprisoning in its wreck
age every one of its occupants. The
tremendous weight of the machine
made rescue difficult and the injured
young people We're in danger OF
drowning. Quick and effective work
was done. Mr.. Walsh was unconscious
when taken from the water and died
before medical assistance could reach
him. His sister was found to be badly
bruised. and an examination showed
that her right leg was fractured. Mr..
OClrichs was also severely bruised
and Mr.. Pelrs injuries were of SINH
lar nature. Mrs. Kernochan was cut
and sustained contusiOns about the
body. The injured were treated tenn
porarily at nearby cottages. Physi-
clans stated that all probably would
recover.
The accident, which was the worst
that has ever occurred in Newport
in connection with autOmObiling,
caused general grief among the cot
tagers. All the young people were
among the most prominent summer
residents here.

DEATH LIST RISES
The Body of W. E. Jolly
is Found.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 19.-The body
the promoter of the Kinston excursion
which was wrecked in the western
branch of the Elizabeth River near
Portsmouth, Va, Thursday, was found
early this morning floating in the
river. The body VIII be taken at once
to Portsmouth to be prepared for
shipment to the home of the deceased.
Up to this time only fourteen are
known to be dead as a result of the
wreck, although the statements of
Atlantic Coast Line officials, divers
and others would seem to indicate that
this number will be increased possibly
to tWenty-Or twenty-five. 1t is not be-
hcVed the list can go over that num-
Der in view of the fact that most of the
l69 negro cXcursiOnists have been ac-
counted for in one way or another.
The body of Emma King, the negro
girl who was left in the coach pre-
sumably dead by her brother Samuel
King, is among those missing. The
railroad authorities have been able to
account only for thirteen dead. The
King woman makes the fourteenth.
Her brother made his statement
Thursday afternoon when he came
here on the barge bearing the injured,
that his sister was sitting beside him
in the car when the accident occurred.
She was killed almost instantly, he
said, and he could do nothing for her
in the short time he had to scramble
for his own safety.
The body of the colored victim of
the Atlantic Coast Line wreck who
died at St. Vincent's Hospital shortly
after his arrival at that institution 0a
the evening of the disaster was pos
itiveIy identified at the city mOrgue to-
day as that of Jack Atkinson, of
Greenville, n. G. City Coroner, Knight
summoned a jury of inquest this 1f-
ternoon, but after viewing the body
of Atkinson the jury was adjourned
until such time as there can be
jointinquest by the city and county
authorities.
At the Sarah Lee Hospital it was
stated by the house physician that
no railroad order was in any of En-
gineer Reig's pockets when his clothes
were searched on the patients arri-
val there. Reig himself it is said, ad-
mitted he had the order but did not
know what became of it.
The whereabouts of the order will
be one of the matters the coroner's
jury will investigate, for the enginee"
claims that he had no adVices re-
garding the draw and had no orders
to stop anywhere. 1t is further under
stood that the danger flag, or portions
of it. which was set in the track TO
stop the train will be introduced at
the corOners inquest in order 10
show that it's exact color was hardly
diSCernible even at a short distance
from a moving train. The flag looks
more like a piece of dirty sack materi
al than a red danger signal.

St Petersburg. Aug. l9.---11:58 p. m.
As the time approaches for the playing
of the last cards at Portsmouth, there
is manifested here among certain high
officials and by the press and the pub
lie the uumlstaEable conviction that
Russia will not yield on the points of
paying an Indemnity, as such, or of
absolutely Ccding Sakhalin to the Jap
anCSC.
The Associated Press can state au-
thoritatively that Emperor Nicholas.

Of the new national assembly was
firmly resolved that he would not cede
to the japanese the demand on either
Of these points and furthermore that
the reception by the people of the as
mebly project has done much to
strengthen him IN th9t resolution.
The calling into The national assem-
bly, is a new factor in the situation.
If peace does not result from the
Portsmouth negotiations the war bids
fair to be national one, supported by
a popular sentiment. The aCtuality of
the national assembly has increased
among the people, their personal in
tcreSts il the Japanese demands and
has resulted i'm strong expressions from
practically all classes of society, eX-
Ccpting the extreme radicals. that the
Russian people should not pay an in
dcmnity nor cede Sakhalin.
1t can be stated authOritatively that
the United states is not attempting to
exercise influence upon Russia
through St. Petersburg.

thorzed to say that the japanese plen-
ipotentiaries have not recommended
to their government a retraction OF the
principle for which the war was fought
and for which Baron Komura and Mr..
Takahira have been striving earnestly
throughout the conference.
Up to midnight neither Baron Ko-
mura nor Mr.. Takahira had received
from the President an invitation to go
to oyster Bay but it is regarded as
not improbable that the President af-
ter his conference with Baron De Ros-
en- may desire further information re-
garding Japan's position in this crisis
and to obtain this, may request Mr..
Takahira to come to oyster Bay for
conference. Should such an invitation
be received, the minister would leave
Immediately.
Unless however. the President
wishes to know something more about
the Japanese demands the members Of
the japanese mission here can see no
occasion for visit to oyster Bay by
enc of their number.
Denounced as False.
The rumor i'm circulation here today
that resentment was felt in japanese
circles at the action of the President
in sending For Baron De Rosen is au-
thOrtatively denounced as false. In
deed, Japan welcomes this final effort
of the President to serve the cause of
peace. Before the peace conference
was a certainty the President assured
Japan Of his hearty sympathy with
her insistelce that any negotiations
initiated should be conducted oXclus-
lively with Russia.
Regarding the Presidents latest
move, d Japanese authority said to-
night:
"Japan's confidence in President
Roosevelt as a great and good friend
has been strengthened rather than
shaken by his final effort on the eve
of what is feared may prove the fare
well session of the conference, TO pre-
vent Il rupture Japan has done her ut
most for peace; we believe the Presi-
dent appreciates this, and if he does.
any action that he may, in the light OF
his knowledge take to serve th, cause
of peace will find hearty sympathy
and support on the part Of japan. The
day that Russia realizes that Japan
'irreduCibIe minimum" is irreducible,
peace will be much nearer"
There is much speculation tonight
regarding President ROosevelts prop
osition, but the secret has been well
kept and there is absolutely no authen-
tic information on the subject. SO in
tense is the interest here in the change
in the situation today that a rumor III
circulation at the Wentworth tonight
that the Pr ssident expected to come to
Portsmouth. found many believers. Il
is regarded here. however, in official
circles as most improbable.

rice Young, wife of William G. Young,
who employs several stenographers in
New York hotels shot and probably
fatally wounded Mrs Catherine Nor
gan in a parlOr of the Hotel Imperial

to blame for it. The affair created
almost a panic in the cafes of the
hotel, which were quickly emptied of
the diners who rushed to the scene

ON THIS HANGS TIE ONE HOPE
The Proposition Ro,en is Bringing
From Roosevelt to Wittc.
(By the Associated Press. }


Portsmouth, y. H. Aug. 1J.-AI
hope here that the peace negotiations
may yet be saved from a break on
Tuesday is fastened to the proposition
which Baron De Koscn is bringing
from President Roosevelt to Mr.. Wittc.
This proposition, it is understood.
concerns only Russia's position, and If
it shall prove acceptable to Russia,
will be presented by Mr.. Witte as soon
as it shall have received the sanction
of the Emperor. When Mr.. Witte re-
tired tonight he was ignorant of the
nature of the proposition. All that he
knew about II was the fact that al
midnight last night he was aroused hy
q message from the President, brought
to him by Assistant Secretary Peirce,
requesting that ne send Immediately to
Oyster Bay Baron De ROSen or some
other confidential agent of high rank
to receive a message of the most conf
dental nature and of urgent import
anCe Mr.. Witte went at once to Baron
De Rosen's room and requested him 10
so to Oyster Bay at the earliest pos
sible moment
Late tonight Mr.. Witte was advised
by Baron De Rosen that he was leaV-
ing Oyster Fay and expected to reach
here some time tomorrow. The Japa-
nese plenipotentiaries are yet without
any official knowledge of Baron De
Rosen's visit to oyster Bay
Baron Komura and Mr. Takahira do
not expect that the proposition will
come before the conference as a sug-
gestion from the President, but in case
it shall be acceptable to Russia they
expect to see it's effect in a modifica-
ton Of the Russian attitude.
Faith in the President.
The Associated Press is authorized
to say that Japan has implicit conf
dence in the President, and although
without any official knowledge of this
latest movement the Japanese pleni-
potentiaries feel certain that the Pres
ident is acting not only in behalf of
peace but as much in the interest OF
Japan as Russia; that before Baron
De Rosen arrived at Oyster Bay the
President was in full possession of
Japans views and knew of what points
she might under certain conditions
yield. and what demands were regard
ed as essential and Interchangeable. Ja-
pan. 1t can be stated, must somehow
be reimbursed for the cost of the
war. Unless the Emperor shall change
his position, which his plenipOtentiar-
les do not for a moment believe is
probable, Russia must yield on Article
8 (war indemnity or Japan will be
forced to continue the war.
