A WASHINGTON ACCIDENT.

Three persons were slightly injured
about 500 o'clock last night, when car
AZ of the Capital Traction Company hit
an automobile and knocked it over an
embankment at Fourteenth and Varnum
streets. The automobile was driven by
Miss Dona McCracken of 1341 Fourteenth
street northwest, who was accompanied
by Mrs. F. S. Pollard, of 1881 Fourteenth
street northwest, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Miller, of GAL New York avenue north
west. IL is owned by G. P. Knight of
941 New York avenue northwest, who
was also in the party.
The automobile was standing on the
car tracks at Fourteenth and Varnum
streets. The motorman of the car rang
his bell, but the driver of the machine
either did not hear the gong or paid no
attention to it. The car hit the machine
knocking it over steep embankment.
All four of the persons who occupied the
machine were thrown from it the instant
the car came in contact with it, and had
it not been for this it is likely that some
of them would have been seriously in
jured.
Mrs. Pollard, who occupied one of the
rear seats, was tossed half way down the
embankment. She was bruised about
the face and head. The other occupants
escaped without scratch, although they
were badly shaken up. The machine
was almost destroyed. - Washington

Bryan's Chances.

1t is assumed by the democrats that
any man the republicans may nominate,
with the exception of Roosevelt, will
have the support of the so-called inter-
ests. This, according to the view being
set forth, makes Bryan an available can
didate Said a democratic senator in
discussing the situation anonymously !:
81 assume that Roosevelt will not be
nominated at Chicago, and this means
that Bryan will be nominated at Denver.
/ have always had my doubts about
Bryan, but l think can see how he
might turn out to be strong candidate
this year with Roosevelt laid on the shelf.
In a sense he would be the Roosevelt of
the campaign. AS matter of fact the
people of this country have only two
idols today-Roosevelt and Bryan.
Roosevelt would defeat Bryan because
he comes little nearer being the peo-
pies ideal than does Bryan. But the
minute the republican national conven-
ton dominates any man except Roose-
welt for President, Bryan will take first
place in the popular mind. may be
wrong about this. but believe time will
prove that l am right. l shall be dis

VANDERBILT DENIES REPORT.

Newport, r. l.. May 27-Reginald G.
Vanderbilt denied this evening the report
cabled from Nice that his automobile and
that of wealthy Englishman named
Crossman had been in collision on the
Cornich road near Nice, and that, seeing
the collision inevitable. the Englishman
had jumped and was instantly killed
Nice, France, May IA wealthy
English brewer, named Crossman, living
at Cannes, was killed in the early part Of
last month on the lower Cornich road,
near Beaulieu, as result of collision
between his motor car and the machine
of another person, said to be Reginald
Vanderbilt.
Mr.. Crossman was travelling from
Monte Carlo to Cannes, and at one of the
many sharp turns near Beaulieu on this
dangerous road he suddenly saw another
motor coming along swiftly toward him
on the wrong side of the road.
A collision being unavoidable, Mr.
Crossman jumped out of his motor, strik-
ing on his head and sustaining fracture
of the skull. He died within an hour.
The other car struck his motor, smash
ing it badly and doing damage which it
cost $3.50 to repair. Mr.. Crossman's
chauffeur was badly bruised and shaken
up.
The Vanderbilt who was driving the
other car left his name with the police
and S75 to pay the damage.
Nothing gets the police along the Lit
toral into such disfavor with the author
tiles as giving information about such
fatalities. and, as they knew there would
be sensation if it were known that one
of the Vanderbilts was in fatal accident,
his name was religiously suppressed

of automobiles is limited in all the prin-
cipal streets of the village to at least six
miles an hour, especially in the central
parts and near the school house, where
often hundreds of children are gathered,
