AUTOMBILE PLUNdEs THROUGH DRAW.
Three Persons Are Drowned 10 Chicago
River.

Chicago (SpeciaD. = Three persons
were drowned and two others narrowly
escaped like fate, when an automo-
bile, in which the FIVE were riding,
plunged into the Chicago River through
the open draw Of the Rush street bridge
Those drowned:
Jerome G. Kurtzman, Chicago, man
ager for chemical company
Mrs. Jerome G. Kurtzman.
w. A. Hartley, manager for an att
tomobile house.
The rescued:
w. II. Hoops, Jr, manager for an
automobile company.
Mrs. Jeremiah Runyon, New York
city.
Both Mrs. Runyon and Mr. Hoops
were unconscious for half an hour after
being taken from the water, but are ex-
pected to recover.
The accident occurred at the north
end Of the bridge, where there is an up
ward slope of 200 feet towards the edge
OF the dvaw. This slope is so steep that
it has not been thought necessary to
stretch chains across the roadway. as
is done at a number of other bridges,
where the approach is on the level.
The occupants of the automobile which
dashed into the river were coming south
in Rush street. close behind another
machine, the chauffeur OF which, seeing
that the draw was open, slackened speed,
and was coming to a stop about so feet
from the edge Of the draw
Hoops, who was driving the rear ma
chine, thinking to pass ahead, pulled
out to one side. Putting on extra
power, Hoops machine shot toward the
open draw at 20 miles an hour. When
close to the open draw, Hoops realized
his danger, and throwing all his weight
on the steering wheel, attempted TO turn
the machine to the left. The machine
was too close to the draw, however.
The automobile turned slightly and for
fracture OF a second hung on the
brink. The tire of the front wheel ripped
off, the hub broke and the machine
dropped into the river, 80 feet below. As
the machine slipped along the edge OF
the draw the women in the automobile
screamed and all of the occupants rose
to their feet, but had no time in which
to make another move before they were
flung into the river, and after them
plunged the heavy machine
Hoops and Mrs. Runyon fell clear of
pthe machine and were taken unconscious
from the river by sailors, who were on
wharf, near the bridge. Mrs. Run
yon was taken 10 the Lexington Hotel
in hysterica condition. Neither
Kurtzman, his wife, nor Hartley rose
to the surface, and it is thought that
they were pinned down by the machine.

A Day Of Surprises In the Affairs Of the Life

man Asks for Absolute Authority.

New York (Special) Paul Morton,
who retres from the secretaryship Of
the Navy on July I, was elected chair
man of the executive committee Of the

Hyde, Second Vice President Gage T..
Tarbell, Third Vice President George
T. Wilson and Fourth Vice President
William II. Mcintyre.
Mr. Morton, as explained by Senator
Chauncey NJ. Depew, was the unani-
nous choice of the board of directors
Of the Equitable, although the meeting
was not altogether harmonious.
1t is known that Brayton Ives and
Charles Stewart Smith, who were froiS
the outset of the controversy on the side
OF the conservative element, protested
against some of the proceedings Of the
meeting, and are believed to have voted
against Mr. Morton's election.
The new chairman, to further quote
Senator Depew, did not consent to take
office until he had received positive as
surances that he would have a free
hand as to measures and men"
Mr. Hyde "divested" himself OF the
majority control, but, as made clear in
his letter to the board, retains a sub
stantial interest in the society.
All of the designations submitted to
the meeting are subject TO the pleasure
of Chairman Morton, and none has yet
been accepted.
Just what action Mr. Morton will
take as TO these designations was no.

tired with the belief that their executive
relations with the Equitable had ended

posed of his stock number some two
score individuals, led by Thomas F.
Ryan, vice president of the Morton
Trust Company, which has close rela-
tions with the Mutual Life Insurance

principal rivals. Mr.. Ryan is said tc
be heavily insured in the Equitable, as
are, according to report, many OF the
others who acted with him in the pur-
chase of the Hyde holdings.
The price paid for the Hyde estate
stock which is to be trusteed practically
in perpetuity, was not disclosed, but esti-
mates vary from $3,5oo,ooo to $1,000, 900

ow of Henry B. Hyde, founder OF the
society, and his daughter, Vice Presi.
dent Hyde is said to hold between I6c
and I7o shares, and it is these holdings
which Mr. Untermyer refers TO as the
Substantial interests" which his eli
ent retains. Mr.. Untermyer has, since
the beginning Of the Equitable contro-
versy, acted as Mr.. Hyde's counsel.

RUSSIANS WERE UPSET
We're No Match For the Japanese
Tactics.
SURVIVORS TELL OF GREAT BATTLE.
Russians Were Proceeding Quietly and We're
Not Expecting an Attack When Togo Hove
10 sisht-Hs Ships Charged In Lines Be.
tween Three Lines Of Russians Nine to
Ten Thousand Killed.

Manila, (By Cable) From the stories
told by the Russians who escaped from
the sea fight in the Korean Straits, it
appears that the Japanese completely SUR
prised the Russian fleet. The Russians
were steaming peacefully along. There
was no sign of the Japanese fleet, and
the Russian ships were not cleared for
action, nor were the batteries manned.
The attack came with a suddenness
that made the unpreparedness OF the
Russians for battle a glarng mistake
that never could be corrected Two lines
OF torpedo-boats suddenly appeared and
encircled the Russian fleet. The rapid
FIRE batteries were turned loose, but with
apparently little effect on the Japanese
boats. Over the approaching torpedo
boats came a hail of 10 and I3-inch shells
from the Japanese war vessels in the
distance. The torpedo-boats advanced
at full speed, one division going in
westerly and another in an easterly di-
recton. The Russian cruisers and bat
tleships prepared to repel the attack.
The cruisers manned their port batteries
and the battleships their starboard bat
teries. No attempt was made TO pre-
pare the batteries on the other side Of
the ships, and il was here the Russians
blundered.
When the Japanese torpedo-boats came
within firing distance the Russians open
I'd FIRE. Then it was the Japanese exc
suited maneuver That threw the Rus
slams into confusion. The two encircling
lines met south of the Russians, but in
stead of continuing in that direction they
turned at a signal from Togo and at full
speed charged between the thEee lines
Of Russian ships, one division passing
between the cruisers and the line of hos
pital ships and transports, and another
division passing between the transports
and the battleshps on the other side.
The Russian ships were unprepared for
an attack OF this character and for Il time
were helpless against the discharge of
| Japanese torpedoes Hardly cruiser
Or battlship remained unscathed. The
Russians were completely demoralized,
and during the last dash of the torpedo
boats not a shot was fred to stop them.
In the meantime, Togo, with his battle
ships and cruisers, encircled the Russian
fleet, and, with his big guns, completed
| the work of destruction.
