BISHOP sATTERLEE DEAD.
Died Repeating The Words, Holy
Holy, Holy"

Washington Especially Rt. Rev.
Henry Yates Satterlee, Bishop of
Washington and a prominent figure
in the Protestant Episcopal Church,
died at his home, 1407 Massachusetts,
Avenue Northwest, Saturday morn
ing at 7.3O o'clock. Pneumonia, con-
tracted In New York, is given as the
cause of his death.
For several days the patients con-
dition had been serious, but not I'M
till Friday night was 1t realized by
those at his bedside that the crisis
was near. His death, therefore, came
as a great shock to his friends, his
churchmen and co-workers.
Bishop Satterlee began to fail at
midnight, and he told those about
him that he believed the end was
near. His immediate family at once
gathered at his bedside.

makers.
THREE ARE SERIOUSLY HURT.
Frightful Accident on the Tracks of
the Ontario and Western Near Nyack
N. Y.-The Party Was Returning
From Basketball Game All We're
Members of Prominent Families.

Spring Valley, N. X. Especial A
foam-specked pair of horses that tore
through the streets, dragging be-
tween them splintered wagon pole,
brought to the village the first news
of a grade-crossing accident in which
nine members of its most prominent
families were either killed outright
or frightfully injured.
The runaways brought up at the
livery stable of George Young, from
whom they had been hired the night
before to take party Of men and
girls to q basketball game at Nyack.
Returning In the early hours, the
wagonload of meYrymakers was run
down at q West Nyack crossing by
an Ontario and Western express
train.
Four of the party we're instantly
killed, two died while being removed
to the Hudson County Hospital, at
Hoboken, N. j., and the other three
lie in a serious condition at that in
stitution tonight.
The dead:
George Reith, aged 80, assistant
superintendent of the telephone Office

basketball team.
Nelson May. aged 10. who drove
the team.
Bertha Singer, aged IS.
Edith Singer, aged 20.
George Shinn, aged 38, basket
ball player.
Jeanette Palmer, aged 81.
The injured:
Warren Palmer, 20 years. condi-
ton serious.
Henry Dieteren, % years, basket
ball player; will probably recover.
Mary Edith Bird, aged IS; condt-
ton critical
The responsibility for the accident
is In dispute.
The survivors cannot be question
ed as yet, and the only other witness
was the crossing gate-tender. He
claims that the team was driven
through the lowered gates. The
gate on the side of approach was
broken down, but the opposite gate
was intact, and if previously lowered
must have been hurdled by the
frightened horses after the wagon
had been struck and torn from its
pole. The animals were Yninjured.

SECRETARY TAFT SAYS
WAR IS IMPOSSIBLE
What Under Heaven Is There to Fight
About !? He Asks.

Lowell, Mass. Especially. Secre-
tary of War William H. Taft finished
two-day visit to New Hampshire
and Massachusetts, and left Lowell
at 6.45 for Boston, where he boarded
the Federal Express at o'clock for
Washington. The Secretary deliv-
cred two addresses. The first in
Nashua was devoted to the work of
the government in the Philippines
and the progress being made on the
Panama Canal. The second was to
the members of the Lowell Beard of
Trade. He spoke about rs minutes
here, and, in the course of his re-
marks, referred to the relations be-
tween Japan and the United States.
He said that, in his opinion, there
was no possibility Of war with Japan.
His recent visit to the Orient, he
said, convinced him that the war
talk was ridiculous.
He said, in part:
Within recent years the United
States has advanced to the position
of one Of the worlds powers, al
though this advancement has been
the result, in part, of a war which
was practically thrust upon ls as
people.
THE possession of the Philippines
and Porto Rico Yields a far greater
influence among the worlds nations
than we at home suppose. There is
q great deal in the influence of that
which affects the eye. The visit of
an excellent effect for peace rather
than for war.
I'VE are not going about the world
with q chip on our shoulders. We
are not hunting war. That Is the
last thing that this country wants.
AS between Japan and the United
States, my journey to Japan con-
WINGED me that there Is not the slight
est danger of war. Jingoes in Japan
and in America are largely respon-
sible for the war rumors that axe in
circulation. We are the last govern
ment in the world with which Japan
would seek war. Our historical re-
lations and our trade relations have
made Japan very friendly nation.
What under heaven do we want to
fight Japan for? Should we go to
war with Japan, look to the future
with alarm, because we would find
1t necessary to expend vast amount
of capital and become war-like
nation. And such a condition is bad
for any country. Reports of war
with Japan should be stamped upon
at every opportunity, and that is
what 1 am trying to do.
II apprehend no danger from the
civilization of China, as some people
profess. The argument has been
that if China comes into competition
with us, we will be wiped out COM
mercially. / hold that the more the
Chinese are civilized the better mar
ket they will represent for the
United States"

Murdered Mans Hoard.

York, Pa. Especially When detec-
tives and county officials searched
for the will of David Heckert, who
was murdered about one week ago,
$4,000 was found beneath pile of
old papers. This was undoubtedly
the money which the murderer was
seeking when he entered the aged
mans room. The money was in old
bills and gold and was made up in
several packages. In a cardboard
box was white duck bag with $579
in gold coins, some of them stained
Upon one of the packages were the

DISASTERS IN MINES.
Fifty Per Cent. Increase In Fatalities
Over Last Year.

New York Especially Some pretty
startling figures with reference to
the heavy recent increase in the
deaths and injuries consequent upon
accidents in coal mines were present
ed to the American Institute of Min
Ing Engineers in paper read before
the institute at the New York En-
gineers' Club by j. A. Holmes, chief
of the teehnologic branch of the Geo
logical Survey of the United States.
Complete reports regarding the
coal mine accidents of 1907 have al
ready been received from 10 states
and 2 territories. Reports from
Pennsylvania are not yet in, but
about every other important coal
mining state is represented in the
figures. These show an increase Of
about 20 per cent. in the number OF
men killed over the number that met
the same fate in tho same states and
territories In 1906 These figures dG
not include Pennsylvania, where 250
men were killed at the Darr mine
last December
From information at present at
hand" Mr.. Holmes said, ut seems
probable that an increase of rs per
cent. in the number of fatal accidents
will be shown for the year 1907 over
the figures for 1906. without taking
into consideration the four disasters
of last December. in which GOA men
were killed. The figures from the
states and territories reporting show
that $40 mon were killed in the year
1906 and go iii the year 1907, an
increase in those states and terri
tories of 159 deaths for the year. II
the states which have not yet re-
ported keep up the present ratio OF
increase in deaths tho total number
of fatalities for the year 1907, ex-
elusive of the four big disasters, Will
be 2,460, which is 400 moro than in
1906. Counting in the big disasters,
the deaths will be more than 5000.
which will be so per cent. 'increass
over the year 1906

TRAGEDY ON A COLLIER.
George Dixon Kills Walter WEIGH
ert, The Chief Officer.


San Juan. Porto Rico (By Cable)
George Dixon, carpenter on the
American collier Abarenda, killed
Walter Weichert, chief officer of the
collier. The crime was committed on
board the vessel Dixon swung at
Weichert with an axe and completely
severed his head. The attack was
made just as Weichert was walking
away from the carpenter bench,
where he had been talking with
Dixon. Weichert recently had Dixon
placed in irons on account of dis
obedience of orders, and this prob
ably was the motive for the crime.
Dixon at once reported the muir
der, and asked the second officer to
put him in the ships brig. A board
of inquiry has been appointed to in
vestigate the occurrence.
The Abarenda accompanied the fleet
of American battleships to Rio ia
metro. and arrived here four days ago
from that port.
