Feet-Occupants of Machine
Thrown From Their
Seats

Whlle racing, as witnesses assert,
with M. Plat on First street. near
chicago street yesterday afternoon, e.
X Green lost control of his big REQ
touring car and struck Daniel King,
probably fatally injuring him, and ran
into a telephone pole, destroying the
machine and hurling the five occu-
pants to the pavement.
In the car were Green, his wife, Mr..
and Mrs. +. E. Green and their 4-year-
old child. AS they approached the
intersection of Chicago street they saw
King, who was oiling the street car
tracks.
Vainly Green endeavored to steer his
big car away from the bent form of
the trackman. but as though possessed
by fiend, the machine refused to be
steered and struck King. hurling him
many feet through the air onto the
pavement. In an unconscious condition,
King was picked up and carried into
nearby drug store, where restoratives
were administered.
Probably Fatally Hurt
King was removed to the general
emergency hospital where it was found
that his skull was fractured near the
base of the brain, his leg was broken
and other painful injuries sustained
Doubts of his recovery are entertained
by the attending physicians.

to Kings family at 321S East First
street.
According to w. Krause of 1856 San
Julian street and other witnesses, Platt
and Green were racing along First
street at a furious rate of speed, de-
spite the fact that there were many
teams and vehicles on the street at
the time. footing of the auto horns
attracted attention of one witness, who
describes the accident as follows:
Were Speeding
my attention was attracted to the
auto race by the sonorous footing of
their horns. Both machines were trav-
cling at very high rate of speed, and
thought several times that they would
strike passing vehicles. AS they neared
Chicago street, I saw Kings peril, but
was not close enough to warn him.
"Platt's machine passed wide of King,
but the REQ car struck him and tossed
him as though he was ball. Then
I saw that the machine that struck
King was proceeding toward a tele-
phone pole and in another instant there
was crash and the occupants of the
auto were hurled to the pavement.
1--WE first picaed up King and car
ried him into a nearby store and sent
for the ambulance, but thought he
would die before it arrived. Then we
turned our attention to the baby and
the four others who had been thrown
from the machine.
"They were fortunate enought to es-
cape without serious injury and soon
disappeared from the scene. 1 also
understood that the racers barely
missed an old woman who was about
to cross the street several blocks back
along their course
Green denies that he was running
his machine at high rate of speed
and says that the wheels of the car
were caught in the guide rail at the
curve. None of the party was serious
ly injured.

MAY LAND AN ARMY.
General Staff Is Preparing for Trouble
in Santo Domingo.


According to a Washington correspond
ent. the general staff of the army is
preparing for possible trouble in Santo
Domingo with which it may not be with
in the power of the navy to cope, while
the Navy Department is getting ready to
land marines as custom house guards on
the northern coast of the island, Gen.
Chaffee and his associates are preparing
for the quick dispatch of troops in case
the insurgents attack the marines or
show themselves in sufficient numbers
near the cities to become a dangerous
factor in the situation.
There are members Of the general staff
who believe that Jaudenes, the insur-
gent leader, and the thorn in the flesh
of President Morales, will not submit
to seeing cut off a source of revenue
upon which he is accustomed to rely with
out n blow, even though the blow be
aimed at a power like the United States.
The army has just as thorough an I'M
derstanding of the Santo Domingo i'm
broglio and it's possibilities for future
trouble as has the navy. In fact, man
has just returned to Washington and has
given the army officers composing the
strategic board all the information, in
Guiding maps, which is necessary for
planning and carrying out q sharp and
quick campaign in Santo Domingo if
such q campaign becomes necessary.

river seemed TO have ceased after the
fights ut ChenchiehpQO and Ueikoutai
where the japanese were victorious. The
object of the operations is not clearly I'm
derstood here, but il is suggested that
the Russians either intended to turn the
japanese left and move q heavy force
down west of the Lao river. or were
seeking to divert attention from a pro-
jected operation against the japanese
right. 1t is reported that the weather
has been milder. but it is still cold. so
that it is impossible TO expose the troops

The Toxic press expresses the opinion
that Gen. kuropatkin either ordered the
movement to divert attention from the
domestic conditions in Russia or plan
ned to make fight before Field Marshal
Oyama had been heavily re-enforced.
The Russian attempt to turn the jap

the packers and disposed of them indi

charges were less specific than desirable,
but said this was necessarily true because
of the vast extent of the field covered.
He added that enough had been shown
