Dies soon After and Chauffeur
is Believed to BE Fatally

PARIS, July &C. Winthrop Sands, a

in a frightful accident which occurred at
o'clock this morning, just outside the
grounds of Mr.. Vanderbilts beautiful coun-
try scat, the Chateau St. Louis de Poissey,
twenty miles from Paris.
Mr.. Sands was riding with the chauf-
feur when in some manner which has
not yet been cleared up, the automobile,
which was spinning along at fairly high
rate Of speed, left the road and struck a
tree with terrific force. The car was
overturned and Mr.. Sands and the chat
feur were pinned under the wreckage. The
gasoline tank exploded and the wreck at
once caught fire.
AS soon as help arrived, Mr. Sands and
the chauffc ar were extracted, but they
had been horribly manned and burned.
They were carried into the chateau where
Mr.. Sands died at o'clock. The chauffeur
is still alive, but his injuries probably will
prove fatal.
Mr.. Sands mother, Mrs. Vanderbilt his
stepfather and his brother were at the
chateau when the accident occurred. All
were overwhelmed with grief Mrs. Wander
bilt was almost distracted when the torn
and bruised body OF her son was borne
tenderly indoors. 1t was evident that he
was then past mortal aid and he did not
regain consciousness before his death.
The members of the family were apprised
of the accident by telegraph. George w.
Vanderbilt is at Dinard II. S. Vanderbilt,
jr.. left here this morning for London. w.
X. Vanderbilt. jr., is at AK Les Bains.
Car Going ut High Speed.
Mr. Sands left Deauvile at $50 this
morning to come to Poissey. The only other
person in the car was the chauffeur, Pick
ngs The pace was fast all the way. Mr..
Sands was at the wheel When the acci-
dent occurred the automobile had just
reached the entrance to the chateau
grounds and was going at the rate of
sixty-two miles an hour. Suddenly a tire
flew off. the machine swerved. plunged
across the road and struck a tree with
such force that 1t was completely wrecked.
When the car collided 1t turned turtle,
Mr.. Sands being thrown under It and pinned
there. The chauffeur was thrown out but
only his feet were caught under the wreck.
Several workmen who had witnessed the
accident rushed up. but as the machine inn
mediately took fire they kept away from
it, momentarily fearing an explosion.
The men finally rushed in and extricated
the horribly mutilated body of MIR. Sands
literally tearing his leg off, which was
firmly pinned down by the torn and twisted
machinery of the blazing wreck.
G. Winthrop Sands was a son OF the
present Mrs w. X. Vanderbilt by her
first husband. Samuel Sands, who was
killed at the Meadowbrook hunt some years
ago. Mrs. Sands Rutherford was married
to w. X. Vanderbilt in 1903.

WHAT Is THE REASON 4!

Just like it used to be thirty years
aeo-no change at all" was the state
ment made by man who recently ar
rived in Columbia for visit, for the
first time in thirty years, in speaking
of the Wabash branch line. He had been
student here when the University was
in its infancy.
Thus day by day, the statements are
made by citizens. business men, travel
ing men. railroad men, students, and
in fact by everybody that has occasion
to enter Columbia by the Wabash
branch line from Centralia.
Columbia has grown from a country
village to an up-to-date city of ten
thousand inhabitants; the old muddy
country roads have given way to mod
ern paved or macadamized streets; the
cross roads grocery has given way for
the modern business establishment,
and lastly, in the place of little col
lege OF one building, one of the leading
educational institutions of the Mississ-
ippi Valley, the University of Missouri
nds;-in fact, everything has grown
and progressed, but the Wabash branch
line from Centralia. 1t is the same old
Junk" line, as it is even styled by the
employees of the road, that it was a
quarter of century ago.
What can be the reason for this
treatment? Even the officers CT the
road admit that the twenty miles from
Centralia is the best paying piece of
track on the entire system, both in
freight and passenger business.
What reason can the Wabash have for
using this piece of track as dumping
ground for all the used up rolling stock
on the system, and making it laugh
ing stock of the entire state!

TOLD ACROSS THE
BREAKFAST TABLE

WELL" began the solicitor for the
Oven, reaching for another piece of
toast, Il was disappointed with Satur-
days game-sOrely disappointed"
Il expected bigger score myself, but
then Rolla has a good team" answered
the redheaded "soph" with the wart on
his nose.
Bet your life they have enthusias-
tically declared the junior Medic. I'm
glad of it, too. The Miners deserve to
have a good bunch. They've been buck
ing all kinds of hard luck in athletics" !"
That's the spirit. That's what 1
mean," the solicitor for the Oven con-
tinued. Il wasn't referring to the score
at all. 1t wouldn't have made bit of
difference to me if the Tigers hadn't
scored at all. It's the spirit displayed
by the spectators I'm referring to. Did
they act as though Rolla was a sister
school to Missouris Well you fellows
were out there You heard what the
bleachers were yelling.
.'Twasn't all from the bleachers
either" the Freshman ventured.
Hardly" smiled the Junior Medic.
III admit things were a little rough
off and on the field, but that was due to
