New York, was killed, Saturday. by
the overturning of an automobile in
which she was riding with a party OF
friends running down a steep hill in
Long Island City when a break in the
steering gear caused the accident.
Mr.. and Mrs. Laurence 1. Scott of
san Francisco, and Charles T. Crocker,
Mrs. Harrison's brother, a Yale stu
dent, whose home is in San Francisco,
We're injured in the upset. Mr.. Scott
suffered fractured rib and is i'm a Sc
rious condition, his wife was stunned
and rendered unconscious and Mr..

down ThOmpson's Hill, which begins
at Thompson avenue and Hull street.
The next instant, Mrs. Scott said, the
machine swerved sharply. The chauff-
eurs frantic efforts to guide at back
into the road were not responded to by
the rapidly moving car. The automobile
plunged toward a ditch at the side of
the road, with a telegraph pole loom
ing directly in it's course and standing
between the machine and the ditch.
Another swerve of the car caused it to
strike only n glancing blow on the pole
and then to tip sideways into the ditch

She was unconscious and it was after

LONG EXPECTED MUTiNY
Of the Sailors at SebastopoI Takes
PIace-City in Their Hands.

Stbastopol Saturday, Nov. 25.-Mid-
night.-Oelayed).- long expected
mutiny of sailors who have been on the
verge of revolt for months has come
and Russia's stronghold on the Black
sea is in danger of falling completely
into their hands.
The situation is critical. All the shore
equipages, numbering 1000 men, are in
open rebellion, having driven away or
taken their prisoners. The Brest regi-
ment of infantry has gone over in a
body to the mutineers.
Gen. Neplueff, the confthander Of the
fortress, is a captive.
The BielostOk Regiment, the only
regiment in the city, received the mu-
tineeers with cheers, but thus far it
remains loyal.
Some of the artilleryistS have also
joined the men in revolt.
Besides the BielostOk Regiment there
are two batralions of artillery and a
battalion of the fortress artillery here.
The EuXine fleet is standing in the
oling and is still Obeying the orders OF
Wee Admiral Chouknin. but the crews
are disaffected and there is grave doubt
whether they can be restrained from
joining the mutinenrS and greater
doubt that they will fire upon them.
The Seventh Army Corps has been
hastily summoned from Simferopol,
eight hours distant.
There is every evidence that the mu-
tiny was deliberately and perfectly
planned by the Social RevOlutionaries.

Of desirables candidates for the guild

In regard to the naming Of prospec-
