which He Wins with Turley. -. ..
Buffalo, Aug. 9.Geers, at sixty years
of age, the dean Of the Grand circuit
driving brigade, had another close call
at Kenilworth park this afternoon.
The, veteran was in the sulky back of
King Direct in the 2:O4 pace, the feat
ure Of the day. when, 4nfthe third heat,
at the head of the stretch Ring Direct
pacing strongly, stuck his foof through
the wheel of Locanda's sulkyG A wick
ed looking accident was the immediate
result. There was a tangle of horses,
sulkies and drivers almost Immediately
swallowed up in cloud of dust. When
the scene of action cleared Geers was
seen nrostrate on the ground. Driver
Snow was on his feet making his way
to the judges stand. Locanda had been
safely caught and ing Direct had start
ed on wild runaway dragging some,
what shattered sulky back of him.
A crowd of stable hands and others,
including a physician, was at Geers'
side. The veteran had suffered a bad
cut In his leg and the wind had been
knocked out of him, but he speedily re-
covered his breath and his first words
were Now don't make hurrah of this
thing, and scare everybody to death for
nothing"
Just to show he was all right Geers

the 2.t1 trot, which followed, won the
deciding heat, being given a tremen-
dous ovation. He has a badly bruised
leg.

accident, falling over the first two

tured in his runaway and probably will
not race again this year.
Another big crowd gathered for the
third days sport, which was over a
fine track with fast time ruling. Sny-
der McGregor, $1OO to $50 on the field,
had the time of his life getting two of
the three heats from Norman B in the
2:OS trot, and the pool.
,Locanda had two heats in, the 2:04
pace when the accident occurred, and
as the judges found both drivers
blameless and placed the horses in the
final heat, the Allerton stallion took the
race. Locanda was favorite at $50 to
$40 on the field before the first heat and

PARLIAMENT TO CLOSE.
VIII Wind Up Business for Present
Session To-day.

London, Aug. 1O.-The British parlia-
ment will wind up its business this aft
ernoon and will be prorogled at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, after a ses-
sion chiefly marked by the uncertainty
of the governments position. The clos
ing days of parliament were especially
interesting. because it was known that
the opposition urged, on by John Red
nond, the Irish leader, had carefully
planned to bring off another defeat at
the psychological moment in order to
secure, Premier Balfour's resignation.
This organized effort, however. has
been defeated by the activity of the
governments whips, and now it is con-
ceded that Mr. Balfour is not likely to
go before the country in 1905.

New York, Aug. 9.--Frequent out
breaks of rioting, calling for drastic
action by the police, marked the course
Of the strike Of the Hebrew bakers on
the east side to-day. In an attack on
"a bakery in Allen street fifty rioters
broke into the place, completely wreck
ed it and upset barrels of flour and
dough in the street. Two policemen
who were on guard in the shop We're
overpowered and roughly handled and
the reserves had to be called Sout be-
fore the rioters could be dispersed.

bakery in Orchard street, to induce
non-union workmen to quit attacked
the shop, hearing of which, hundreds
of strikers rushed from the meeting to
the scene of conflict. One policeman
who attempted to defend the nonrun-
ion men was mobbed and severely beat
en-, but held his ground until rescued.
The patro wagon, bringing a squad of
reserves, was furiousy assailed by the
mob, who stopped the horses and even
dragged some Of the men from their
seats. The rest quickly alighted and
charged the mob through a rain of bot
ties and bricks that poured from roofs
and windows, After ten minutes hard
fighting the mob was dispersed and
two men. both severely injured, were
arrested. The shop in which the fight
ing began was wrecked.
At many points on the east side wag-
ons carrying bread were attacked and
the drivers beaten. Many women par
ticipated in these attacks. According
to the strikers the loaves destroyed
were supplied from shops in Philadel-
phia and nearby cities.
1t was announced at strike headquar-
ters tonight that John Heintz, secre-
tary of the National Union of Kosher
Bakers. would arrive here tomorrow
from Chicago to take charge of the
strike. A request was sent tonight to
the international union headquarters
at Chicago, asking the officials to call
out the English-speaking bakers.
Throughout the whole lower east-side
a bread famine is general among the
Hebrews, for the people not only re-
fuse to eat any but kosher bread, but
appeared to be bent on destroying all
the bread of that character which they
could lay their hands on.

New Orleans, Aug. "a sudden
change in his condition to-day speedily
eliminated in the death of Archbishop
P. L. Chapelle, of the diocese of Loui-
siana.
Monsignor Chapelle was taken i'll on
Friday. He had returned to the city
three days before, having just complet-
ed tour of Louisiana, and announced
on his arrival his attention of cooper
ating in the efforts, then in full swing,
to stamp out the fever. The archbish-
6p, however, left his house only on one
occasion before he was taken sick. On
Friday he complained of symptoms in
dicating yellow fever. DR.. Larue dag
nosed the case as yellow fever. The
disease made steady inroads, and yes
terday he was found to be in critical
condition. Before noon to-day there
was an alarming change for the worse,
and dissolution ensued at 1880 p. m.
While Archbishop Chapelle held a
,oor ~ s,n acl,fY hn
friendships with men of prominence in
national affairs, among them William
Mckinley. ~-. Il
While apostolic delegate to the Phil
ippines the archbishop spent much time
in the settlement of conditions growing
out of the change of sovereignty in the
islands. During his stay in Manila
Mgr. Chapelle and Secretary of War
Taft, then governor-general of the ISL
ands, became friends.
Three years ago Archbishop Chapelle
was relieved Of the responsibility Of his
mission to the Philippines, but contin-
ued his Jurisdiction over Cuba and Por-
to Rico. He made frequent visits to
both islands, and was constantly in
touch with all the work of his vast dio-
cese.
During his stay in New Orleans he
had lived with his niece, Miss Soulig-
nae, and they had been inseparable
companions, The archbishop was a
man of ability and intellectual attain
ments. He was fond of social life and
was a constant entertainer, drawing to
his home the most reprs sentative peo-
pie in the social and intellectual life of
New Orleans, 50.
The body of the archbishop was
transferred at o'clock tonight from
his residence on Esplande avenue to st.
Louis cathedral where it is lying in
state. The obsequies will take place at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the
cathedral. There will be a Gregorian
requiem high mass sung, every MEM

points in the archdiocese present be-
cause of their inability to return to

STATUTES ARE LAX.
Man Escapes Who Took Auto Because
of No Law to Punish.

of No Law to Punish.
Bridgeport, Aug. 9.-There is no law
for the punishment of person who
takes an automobile that does not be-
long to him, provided he intends to
return it, was revealed in the city court
this morning when John Hutchins, a
chauffeur employed by John Beck, a
well known saloon keeper of Middle
street, was arraigned charged with the
theft of the $1,000 Knox automobile
owned by e. H. H. Smith, president of
the Smith Silver company.
The case against Hutchins was nolled
because of the laxity of the statutes in
this regard. Hutchins and Beck were
arrested asst night by Policeman Burns,
after their return from New Haven in
Mr.. Smiths automobile. Hutchins took
the machine from Bandegee's garage
on State street yesterday morning
about o'clock, telling the colored man
in charge that he was going to repair
1t for Mr.. Smith.
Nothing was seen of the machine late
yesterday afternoon and Mr.. Smith be-
came somewhat uneasy. Last night
the pair arrived in the city from New
Haven, where they had been on trial
spin, and were promptly placed under
arrest. Beck gave bond of 5000 for
his appearance in court to-day and
Hutchins bunked at police headquar-
ters. Attorney E. F. Hall appeared for
the accused in the city court this morn

Asks People to suspend Judgment.
Albany, Aug. 9.-The collapse Of the
John G. Myers company department
store yesterday, which resulted in the.
death Of thirteen persons and the prob
able fatal injury Of two others, will be
investigated by a special commission.
This afternoon, when the searchers an
.nounced their belief that no more bod
les We're in the ruins. Mayor Gaus cali
ed a meeting of the heads of city de-
epartments and decided to appoint three
snon-residents two building contractors
and one civil engineer or architect, to
inquire into the cause Of the disaster
and report where the blame should be
placed. )
Contractor John Dyer, jr., who was
digging a sub-cellar and snoring up the
part Of the structure which fell, replied
to his critics this afternoon with the
following request:
"To the People Of Albany:
"I earnestly request to public to sus-
pend judgment until after a thorough
investigation.
The discovery that the thirteen bod
Hes already taken out would account
probably for all the victims Of the ac-
cident was a.. surprise to Albanians,
who until this afternoon expected that
at least dozen more mangled forms
were buried beneath the ruins still fill
ing the chasn In the center Of the fatal
building. So sure were the wreckers
that no more bodies remained in the
ruins that they have suspended their
search and begun demolishing the brick
walls which overhung the debris and
threatened at any minute to fall. This
work will not be completed until some
time Tomorrow and the last bit Of
debris will not be removed until a day
or two later.
OF those now in the hospital, Helen
Donahue is believed to be near the
point of death and Mrs. William Borst
of Window, Mimi, a shopper, has but
an even chance of recovery. 1t is be-
lieved that all the other injured fifty
in number, will recover. Tonight all
the employees of the firm were account
ed for excepting half a dozen cash boys,
who are believed to be, on their vaca-
tions.
The comparatively small number of
deaths among the nearly 100 persons
who went down with the floors, is ac-
counted for by the fact that scarcely
any of the brick walls and the debris
consisted chiefly of wooden timbers and
plaster, with only an occasional iron
gtr6er. One Of these iron beams crush
ed the life out of four young girls.
