Paris, July 29.-In one of the most
terrible automobile accidents In many
years in France, G. Winthrop Sands. a
stepson OF w. X. Vanderbilt. was
killed this morning. just outside the
grounds OF Mr. Vanderbilt's beautiful
country seat, the Chateau st. Louis
de Poissy, twenty miles from Paris.
Mr. Sands was driving his fifty
horsepower car along al terrific clip.
in a desire TO reach the chateau, where
Mrs. Sands and her infant daughter
were staying. He had always been
known as "A reckless driver. and as he
had been delayed at railroad crossings,
he opened the throttle wide as he ap-
preached the chateau grounds.

Almost immediately tire burst and
the machine crashed into a tree, turn

Finally they managed TO raise the
rear of the car and release the chauf-

tight, an n little later, after beating
down the fire. they dragged out the
torn, bleeding and burned body of
Sands.
Help soon arrived from the chateau

Jured men were carried to the house,
where it, was found that Sands was
beyond ne hope of recovery, but that
the chauffeur was not seriously in

we were going at rapid pace, prob
ably scventy-five miles an hour, as
he was anxious 10 reach the chateau,
where Mrs. Sands and the baby were.
The machine was fifty-horsepower
car and capable of great speed. Two
enforced delays at railroad crossings
had somewhat annoyed Mr.. Sands, and
as we approached the chateau grounds
he asked me the hour. 1t was ex-
actly 7:15 q. m. We are Late he
muttered and at the same time opened
the throttle wider.

burning wreckage. His right leg,

Death Inevitable.
The servants, fearing the effect on
Mrs. Sands, concealed from her the
gravity of the accident, and persuaded
her not TO enter the room where her
dying husband had been placed. A
doctor was summoned from Poissy and
arrived soon afterwards, but Mr.. Sands
was beyond mortal aid. Never had he
seen. the doctor said. such a pitiful
human wreck. The stump of the leg
had been burned to a crisp and the
face and body were black and scared
with flames. In addition to terrible
internal injuries. Mr.. Sands right arm
and shoulder were broken. The doc

Macfar'ane Says
Hawaii" Is
Wonderful Yacht

Ex-Commodore c. w. Macfarlane
of the Hawaii Yacht Club, was ON
the yacht Hawaii during her trial
spin yesterday for the benefit of the
builders, said this morning, in regard
to the run: THE boat was taken
out about two miles beyond Diamond
Head, close hauled, and we found
moderate breeze, with a very smooth
sea. found that she worked to
windward as well as could be expect
ed, although the wind at the time
was not sufficient to put her rails un-
der water In coming about, II is re-
markable how quick she will answer,
and on our run home we had the
wind abeam, with sheets well started,
and to my knowledge she ran of
about ten miles, with comparative
ease.
THE object in taking the boat out
was to get her mast and the like to
settle in place, so that they could
take up the rigging again in case of
any slack, which IL sometimes the
case with a new yacht.
she will be given her regular try
out to show her sailing qualities to-
morrow, and from what little ! have
seen of her I advise all other yachts
to give her wide berth, for without
doubt ! think she is the fastest
boat that has ever gone out of this
harbor. And she will be credit to
the designer and the builders, for sh ,
, is a wonderful yacht"

MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND
PEOPLE SEE COOPER DALI

During l.. T. Cooper's recent stay
in Boston, it is estimated that sixty
five thousand people talked with him
and purchased his medicines. This is
an average of over two thousand a
day
His success was so phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both by
the public and press. There must be
a reason for this. Here is the reason
given in his own words by Mr.. Cooper
when interviewed on the subject He
said:
THE immense number of people
who are calling on me here in Boston
is not unusual. l have had the same
experience for the past two years
wherever | have gone. The reason is
a simple one. 1t is because my medi-
cine puts the stomach in good condi-
ton. This does not sound unusual,
but it is in fact the key to health. The
stomach is the very foundation of
life. | attribute 80 per cent. of all
sickness directly to the stomach.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main we'll with poor digestive appa-
ratus. Few can be sick with a diges-
ton in perfect condition. AS matter
Of fact, most men and women are to-
day half-sick. 1t is because too much
food and too little exercise have grad
ually forced the stomach into a half
sick condition. My medicine gets the
stomach back where it was, and that
is all that is necessary"
Among Boston people who are
staunch believers in Mr.. Coopers
theory, is Mr. Frank d. Brown, of 81

REPUBLICAN DISSENTIONS.

Speaker Cannon and other Republi-
cans made a bitter onslaughter on
Roosevelt at a dinner at a Washing
ton hotel Friday night No name was
called, but the remarks was such as
to leave no doubt on the matter The
attacks on the President proved en-
barrassng to the host, Senator Ankeny,
of Washington, who is a candidate for
reelection.
But even more bitter was the at
tack of Senator Fulton, who is said to
have called on the Republican sena-
tors to rally about him for the pur-
pose of preventing the President from
debating his successor at the Chicago
convention. He declared that the par
ty was facing the greatest crisis in its
history, and that the party was doom
ed to destruction unless the party
leaders prevented it's domination by
one man" Weep President Fairbanks
joined in the attacks, though in a
more conservative manner Senator
Bourne was the only defender of the
President to be heard from. After the
dinner was over, Senator Ankeny al
once set about preparing a statement
about the dinner to be used in Wash
ington, where he knows that his en-.
emies will seek to hold him to account
for the attacks on the President
All of which is most encouraging
from Democratic standpoint If il
were not for the fact that Bryan oc.
cupies much the same position in his
i party that Roosevelt does in the Re.
publican party, there would be an ex.
cellent chance of electing a Democrat
ic President But it will be hard tt
convince the Nebraskan thu the party
could survive if he is not at the head

Mystery of Bloody Feuds
Chicago Tribune)

(Cn1caSO lflDun6). E. i.
The tragic end of James Hargis at
Jackson, KY, calls attention once
again to the peculiar condition of life
which have marked a State long
known as the dark and bloody
ground. That man who had TAX
en- several lives in the course of a
bitter feud should die by the shots
fired by his own son only emphasizes
the strangeness of a social organiza-
ton where life is held so cheap and
where the guilty SO often escape the
punishment provided for by law.
1t has been a puzzle which no one
has solved. Why these feud conditions
should prevail in that one section of
the country far more than anywhere
else is hard to understand. Why men
meet in a public place and slash each
other with knives or shoot each other
as dogs are shot is a question which
has aroused the wonder of many a
student of American social life.
The ever-ready rifle of the wilder
ness hunter who crossed the noun
tains, pierced the gaps, or fioated
down the streams into the western
country may have been the legitimate
predecessor of the murderous gun of
the later generation of Kentuckians.
The facility in the use of firearms
and the common training to shoot
straight and sure which were abso-
lutely necessary in the days of Boone
and men of his type may have brought
its own natural development in the
quickness in handling the trigger
which has marked the fights of a cen
tury.
