FOUR KILLED
IN A FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT IN
NEW YORK.
Ran the Machine Over the Pier Head
Into East River Drowning the Oc-

cupantS.
Locked up in New York. without
bail, on Tuesday, John Bauer, a
chauffeur, who took out his employ
er's touring car without permission
for wild night ride, faces a charge
Of homicide and four persons are
dead as the result of his exploit.
On the public pier at the foot of
West Fifty-sixth street and the
North river is the damaged high
power French motoring car which
Bauer, driving like the wind over
slippery streets and in the face of
a cutting rain, sent over the piers
brink and into the river with its six
occupants. The dead:
Colman, John, 25 years old. of
No. 531 West Fifty-first street.
Coleman, Rosie, 90, his wife, same
address.
Knight, Virginia, 8, Mrs. Cole
mans sister.
Berdon, Adeline, 10, of No. 533
West Fifty-first street.
Bauer took his employer home af-
ter ride with her finance, Bedell
Fl. Larned, who Is Frank j. Gould's S
secretary. He was directed to take
the car back to the garage which is
the same place where the Gould au-
tomobile are cared for. He met his
friend John holland, at Fifty-fourth
street and Tenth avenue, and pro-
posed ride.
They called for the Colemans and
as there was still room in the ton
neau, they took little Virgini Knight
and Adeline Berdon, who lived next
door.
The car was sent north to Fifty
sixth street, where they met Mary
knight, an older sister Of Virgini,
and stopping, Mrs. Coleman asked
her to go along with them. She
thought the car was sufficiently we'll
filled and declined to crowd the
pleasure seekers. Her courtesy saw
ing her life.
Bauer let. the car out to racing
gait. The street were running with
water and the heavy machine slid
from side to side as the velocity in
creased. At twelfth avenue they were
going like mad and heading straight
for the pier, half block away.
Like a Vanderbilt contestant near
ing the finish line, the heavy Rem
ault was sent straight TO the end of
the pier. where it struck string
piece snapped it like match stick,
and then, overturning. went crashing
into the dark waters Of the North
river Bauer was .catapuated 20
feet ahead of the car and Nolan
leaped as the car struck.
Bauer made statement to the po-
lice in which he said he had ap-
piled the brakes when the machine
was half way down the pier, and that
the machine had skidded. In the
mud on the pier the wheels Of the
machine made a straight track from

Cannon As An Ohstrnctionlst.
lLouisville coufier-Journan

In his speech before the Lakes-to-
the-Gulf Deep Waterways Association
Mr.. Bryan expressed himself vigor-
ously in favor of the Mississippi Riv-
er project and added that he was
heartily in favor Of the development
of waterways draining the mountains
of the East and West as Well as the
Mississippi If there were no other
reason for the objection of the people
of the Appalachian region-and States
affected as to transportation and ag-
riculture by conditions in the APP
palachian Mountains-to a House OF
Representatives presided over by
Joseph G. Cannon the outrageous
Juggling of the bill to preserve the
timber in these mountains would be
a sufficient cause for the voters OF
all whose partyism does not override
their desire for material welfare to
be recorded as a protest against a
party that maintains Mr.. Cannon as
the arbiter of the fate of legislation
at Washington.
While the excellent project of MAX
ing a ship canal of the Mississippi is
under discussion, there is an untold
suffering throughout the Appalachian
region and contiguous territory from
drouth. The degree or aridity is due
in measure. ~ The Z mutation OF the
nc. - :. ans in which the affluents OF
the system of rivers in this section OF
the United States have their sources
Thousands of workingmen are unem-
ployed because industrial plants de-
pending upon water power are closed
down. Tens of thousands of persons
are suffering for want of water for
household purposes, and suffering the
expense of securing stock water from
distant points. Typhoid fever and
other diseases will be augmented as g
result of the drouth. When the winter
and spring rains fall the damage from
the floods will be enormous. The ex.
perts sent into the Appalachian reg
ion by the Federal government decid-
ed some time ago that damage done
by the floods annually costs more il
dollars and cents than the proposed
annual appropriation for the consery-
alton of timber
Fifty years ago charging a political
party with a drouth or an epidemic
was campaign humor But response
| bility for failure to protect natural
resources entails responsibility fol
the results, and it has been demon
strated in this and other countries
| that destroying large areas of timber
about the sources of watereourses
causes aridity in summer and floods
in winter. 1t is even believed in some
quarters that systematic tree plant
| ing upon a large scale in arid section:
| of hill country might produce a per
manent water supply in the form o
streams. There is no argument agains

After all the stumping tour which
President Roosevelt had proposed for
himself would hardly have been more
indecent than the "pernicious parts

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS.
washington Post.)

I w aSAAlAStOD OSl.t
The efforts of the great powers,
with the exception of Great Britain
and Germany, are just now being di-
rected toward securing an agreement
for general conference at which the
Balkan question will be disposed of
The union of Crete with Greece and
the official announcement that Great
Britain is unwilling to enter into a
conference having for its object
the revision of the treaty of Berlin
were the chief developments yester-
day.
Sir Edward Grey. in speech yes
terday, intimated that tile reason why
Great Britain is unwilling to join a
conference of the powers is that there
is no use in revising treaties if any
party to them may break them with
impunity He spoke of the general de-
sire TO reduce ornaments, and said
ii was useless TO expect such a con-
summation SO long as treaties are
not faithfully observed. Ii is to be
suspected, however. that the real
| reason why Great Britain holds alooi
is because she fears revision of the
| treaty of Berlin will give Russia an
| opportunity TO force an outlet through
4 the Dardanelles, The eagerness OF
| Russia to bring about conference
and the statement of Foreign Minis
/ ter Iswoisky at Paris that the treaty
of Berlin was directed, ef0- @ss,.s-
/ STA lends cG,or 10 this assumption
! Russias ostensible reason for urging
a conference is TO insure eompensa-
/ ton TO Turkey for the loss of Bulgar-
1 ia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Crete
But Russias interest in securing {
fair deal to Turkey is doubtless leay-
ened with an enlightened self-inter.
/ est.
At Paris the attitude of Grea
Britain in declaring that Turkey:
rights must be safeguarded is takeI
TO be a shrewd move TO displace Ger
many as forerunner of Turkey. Ger
many'S attitude has not yet been mad,
clear. but presumably she would
find il difficult TO join in a conference,
to assist Turkey while actually sup
porting AuStria-Hungary in the alb
sorption of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary eX
ecuted their coups simultaneously an,
/ evidently upon a well-ordered plan
/ Who were the parties to the plan
1t is impossible to overlook tn,
| probability that Germany was cogni
zant of what was to happen, and tina
she sanctioned both moves. Ger
many's interests in Asia Minor ar,
very large. and her desire to Obtain
an outlet to the Adriatic is a probabl,
factor. The upheaval in Turkey ma.
have been seized upon by German,
and Austria-Hungary as an oppor
tune time to push forward their res
pective schemes, leaving TO Russi;
