just a trihe, and the wheel skidding at the end sent the macnine into the air.
 D. Leet Oliver, who was killed in the automobile accident at New Hoven. Conn.,. was a son of the late James B. Oliver, who died one and a half years ago. one of the prominent steel man ufacturers of Pittsburg. He was also nephew of George T. Oliver, pro- prietor of The Pittsburg Gazette-Times and Chronicle Telegraph of this city.
 He leaves his mother and two sis ters. Mrs. William J. Critlendorf. of Shields. Pa, and the Marquis Alfred Dusmet Desmours. of Naples, Italy.
 The story of the accident was told after the survivors had recovered from the shock. The party started out at an early hour to take a pleasure ride in tho cool air and intended to go out Whitney avenue through Centerviiie to Cheshire, a distance of about ten miles. Oliver's machine was of the thirty-horse power racing type. and the party went out Whitney avenue at a. high speed. mile this side of the bridge there Is a hill down which the machine went. In the gray light of dawn 1t is thought Oliver did not realize that the bridge was narrow and as he was in the car tracks, he turned out to travel over the space reserved for vehicles, but the swerving of the machine and then the skidding of the hind wheels brought the machine against fence a short distance from the bridge and the momentum impell- ing the machine forward sent 1t against a stringpiece of the bridge. The ma chine then went into the air. The flight was so great that the racer flew clear across the stream and land ed fifteen feet on the other bank, then orAa hA a r. CT. The fight of the machine threw OlIver's companions. but Oliver came down with the machine and was crushed.
 During the morning the injured men went to St. Anthony's Hospital and after surgical attention they were de- clared to be not seriously hurt

PUBLIC MEN PLEASED THAT BANK
 HEAD WILL WIN.
CongreHsman. Livingston Points Out That Successor to Senator Mor-
 gan Will Do Great Ser
 vice for Alabama.

Washington, June 2s.-(Special)-- Dispatches in today's Washington papers and others of neighboring cities. Indicating that tho jsoppcsitiofl te thh election of Captain Bankhead by the Alabama Legislature as successor to the late Senator Morgan. has practi- cally melted away, were read here with evident satisfaction by the friends of the former member of the House Not many Congressmen are at pres" ent in the city. Representative Liv- ingston (Ga.), who next to Captain Bankhead, was the oldest Democratic member in service in the last House. Is especially pleased over the news. Like many others, he feared there might be a combination formed against Captain Bankhead through which the will of the people, as expressed aC the primaries, would be thwarted.
 Mir. Livingston regards Captain Bankhead as an exceptionally we'll equipped man for Senator, owing to the fact that he served twenty consecu- tive years in the lower branch of Con- gress, and at the time his career closed in that body was the ranking Demo cratic member of two of the most lm- nortant committees-Rivers and Har- bors and Public Buildings and Grounds. When he takes hts seat in the Senate he will be in position to continue hls work along these lines.
 In an interview here today l.. T. Hubbard, a wellknown citizen or Talladega, said:
 "The action of Governor Conner in appointing Mir. Bankhead to Ill the vacancy caused by the death of Sena- tor Morgan, is in line with the pri- mary election which chose Messrs. Rankhead and Johnston as alternate United States Senators.
 "The opinion of the wisest men or our State is that there Is just as strong an obligation devolving on the Lesis- lature) to carry out the will or the people as upon the Governor other- wise the primary election was snare and delusion, and no validity wnat- ever"

THE CHESTER IS LAUNCHED.
VIII Be One of the Scout Cruisers of
 UnIted states Navy.

Washington. June 26.-The scout cruiser Chester which was launched at the Bath (Maine) Iron Works today. is one of class of three vesselsNto be known as scout cruiser. authorized by Congress April IT, 1904.
 The cost of the vessel will be $1,6S8,- 900.
 The contract speed Is 24 knots and Is exceeded only by that of the tor pedo boats and destroyers. While the speed is slightly less than of the Eng fish scouts. the difference is more than compensated for by the ability to main tain the high speed in all conditions of weather. and, having twice the coal capacity of the English scouts the ra- dius of action is conveniently the greater.
 The vessel over all is 42S feet and l inch. Its breadth measures 4S feet 6 inches, draft fully loaded, 19 feet 1-2 inches, and displacement fully loaded, 464O. tons. The maximum indicated horsepower of the main engine Is esti- mated to bo 16,000.

CAR DYING IN AISLE. New York. June 26. -Passen- gers on a trolley car crossing the Brooklyn Bridge tonight were mortified when the rear window suddenly crashed in, admitting the form of a man who landed senseless and bleed ing in the car aisle. Where the man came from is a mystery and he was dead when an ambu- lance surgeon arrived. The neck was broken and a frac- tured rib had pierced a lung.
 How he came to be thrown through the window into a car may never be known, as the po- lice after a thorough investi- gation failed to determine how such an accident was possible.
