YOKOHAMA, Sept 2S.-Secretary

September IS, passing all the signal

various reception committees and the

GRAND DUKE
OF BADEN IS
DEAD
Was the First to Proclaim
William the German
Emperor

CONSTANCE, Grand Duchy of
Baden. Sept. 2S.-The Grand Duke
Frederick of Baden died today of intes-
tinal Inflammation. He was uncon-
scious for many hours before his death.
His diplomacy resulted in bringing
several Of the minor German sovereigns
to his views, that a union of the Ger
man states meant increased strength
for all. When at length they all agreed
on this subject 1t became the grand
dukes duty, al the dinner at Versailles,
at which King William of Prussia was
proclaimed German Emperor, to deliver
speech during which he made the
first public recognition of Emperor
Williams headship of the German peo-
pie, many of the reigning German
princes being present.
A difficulty arose before the BAN
quet, as Emperor William insisted that
the grand duke should refer to him
as Emperor of Germany, contrary to
the terms of agreement which, on Bis
marck's proposition, in order to meet
the objections of the Kings of Saxony
and Bavaria, explicitly named him
German Emperor"
The grand duke was perplexed and
conferred both with Emperor William
and the chancellor. Neither would
concede the point, and the matter,
therefore, was left to the tact of the
grand duke. The guests, who were all
aware of the difficulty which had
arisen, awaited with the keenest in
terest the announcement of the Grand
Duke of Baden. The latter rose and
solved the problem by referring to his
imperial majesty merely as Emperor
William" whereupon the whole as
semblage gave six rounds of cheers.
At the time the young Emperor Will
lam sent his famous dispatch to the
late President Kruger, of the Trans
vaal, the grand duke and King George
of Saxony are reported to have re-
minded the Emperor that any imperial
action which might lead to war must
be taken, under the constitution, in
agreement with the government of the
federated states. The Emperor and
the grand duke, however, were drawn
closer together after that incident. The
Emperor. during the grand dukes last
illness, showed constant solicitude re-
gardlng his condition.

KRAEMER'SHO
OPENING OF
CAMPAIGN
Says Colby Is in a Deal
and Talks of Recent
Revelations.

DR.. Charles r. Kraemer, who was
as the Democratic candidate for County
Clerk Wednesday night, formally
opened the local campaign last night
when he addressed several hundred
members of the William c. Nicoll AS
sociation at their headquarters in
semels Hall, Prince and Montgomery
streets.
The candidate was interrupted with
applause time and again when he at
tackled the Republican party, and when
he referred to Mayor Haussling as the
magnetic Jake Haussling" He spoke
for fully three-quarters of an hour, and
said in part
This is the first meeting that l
have attended, and is really the open
ing of the local campaign. l first de-
sire to state why L accepted the nomi-
nation rendered by the committee on

persuasion, and I want you TO under

but for the benefit of the entire Demo-
cratic ticket. | am not making a fight

Democracy and continue the fight we
left off last fall This time it will be
a fight to finish. | believe that in the
William C. Nicoll and Leveen Demo-
cratic Associations we have two of the
strongest political organizations in this
vicinity. This is not fight of Democ-
racy but for every man and for his
freedom under the Stars and Stripes.
1.-TWO years ago a man named Colby
appeared before the people of this
county and said the Republican party
was in a demoralized state; he ac-
cused its members of being unfit to
hold office; he gathered the cream of
that party; he won once; he lost once;
he wasn't dlsheartened; he spent $780,
900 in that campaign. Now, has the
Republican party purified itself so
much in those two years that today
those same people forget what they
called each other two years ago? 1t
seems to me as though 1t must have

LOzier Car, With |. W.
SmeISer at Wheel, Crashes
Through Fence.
DIES IN THE HOSPITAL
Loses Control of Machine While
Flying Around Turn of Nor
ris Park Track at Terrific
Speed IS Several Others
Are Injured.

L. w. Smelser, driving the Lozier car
of this city in the twenty-four auto
mobile race at Morris Park, was so
badly injured in an accident on the
track early today that he died soon
after reaching the hospital. John
Clarke and several other spectators,
were also injured.
Smelser was married and lived at
II East Park street, Newark.
1t was the first accident of conse-
quence in the race. The Lozier car
was going over sixty miles an hour.
1t crashed through a fence at the
western turn of the track in the thir-
teenth hour of the race. Smelser was
struck by a heavy timber and thrown
from the machine. When picked up
1t was found that his skull was frac-
tured, and he was taken to the Ford
ham Hospital in a dying condition.
He died in a short time without re-
covering consciousness.
John Clarke, a spectator, who was
standing near the fence when the ma
chine dashed through was injured In
ternally, and boy named Fred Tape
suffered a fracture of his right leg and
other injuries.
Smelser and his partner, Linkrom,
we're racing with another machine,
with which they had been sprinting for
half an hour. Suddenly the tire on the
front right wheel of the Lozier ma
chine burst and the car swerved toward
the fence at q point where about 200
persons were leaning over the rail
watching the race. The accident came
with such suddenness that they were
unable to get away. and fully twenty
of them were knocked down and pain
fully hurt.
Crowds rushed out on the track, ana
1t was impossible for the police to hold
them in check. Many had narrow es-
capes from being hit by cars that were
racing around the track, the race not
having been interrupted by the acci-
dent.
Driver Linkrom, who was riding with
Smelser. escaped injury. 1t was an
nounced that the machine probably
could be repaired in a few hours, and,
if SO, it would reenter the race.
At the end of the tenth hour Fiat car
(No 12). driven by Emanuel Cedrino and
Parker was leading with 457 miles, which
distance is four miles ahead of the record.

Scott, the negro chauffeur, was un-
able to furnish bail, and the court or

The autopsy this morning at the
Jacobs home showed that the machine

fact that Jacobs had sustained eleven
fractures of the skull bones at the
base of the brain. When the skin was
removed from the head the bones fell
on the operating table. Besides the
compound fracture of the skull DR..
Elliott found that every rib on the left
side of the body was broken.
In view of the nature of the injuries
DR.. Elliott found that it would have
been impossible for Jacobs to have
regained his feet after once striking
the ground, report to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The compound fracture of the skull was
evidently caused when the unfortunate
man fell to the pavement, striking on the
back of his head That Jacobs did not rise

ARCHITECTS FEES
BAN PUT ON THEM WHEN
PLANS DON'T SUIT.
Education Boards School Committee for
New System as Matter
of Economy.

Commissioner George Varley, chairman
of the schoolhouse committee of the
Board of Education, when that committee
met last night previous to the meeting
of the board, declared that there would
be no more big fees paid to architects
for plans for school buildings when the
plans were rendered impracticable, be-
cause they were so elaborate that they
could not be erected with twice the
money appropriated for the work, and
the committee unanimously concurred in
the statement of the chairman, by the
action taken last night in committee on
the proposed additions to the Bergen
Street. Hawthorne Avenue, Lincoln School
and Warren Street School houses
Contrary to expectation, the plans for
the Bergen Street addition were not ac-
cepted last night by the committee
These, together with the plans Of
the three other schools, which the COM
missioners spent several hours In pruning
down, will go over until the special meet
ing on Tuesday. At that time it is under
stood that the committee will advertise
for bids TO determine whether the build
ings can be built within the appropriations.
II this is found to be the case, the con-
tracts will be let and the plans accepted.
II not, the plans will be rejected, as well
as the bids
In each instance but one architect has
submitted plans for the four additions.
