STOCK MARKET
PRICES COLLAPSE
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, May 23.-The prices
of stocks collapsed with great vio-
lence during today's short session of
the market The outpouring of the
stocks was heavy in some quarters.
A striking feature of the proceed
ings was the disappearance of all
trace Of fostering measures of sup
port which have been present in all
stages OF the preceding advances in
prices and through period of di-
gestion of profits which have been
going on this week. Bonds were
steady. The total sales, par value,
were $1,422,000.

ton. The weight did not appear to
be equalized. for suddenly the for
ward end tilted downward and the
air ship stood at an angle of forty
five degrees, suspended in the air.
The engineers and other members If
the crew seemed to lose their heads
and instead of running along the
canvas pathway to equalize the
weight, they clung to the netting of
the frail structure. A rush of gas to
the stern end of the airship and the
tremendous pressure of the weight
of the engines and crew caused the
none too substantial envelope to
burst with loud, ripping noise, and
the airship settled slowly toward the
earth. Some of the men lost their
heads and jumped before the ma
chine could reach the ground, AMI
escaped with broken limbs and Sc
we're bruises. Nearing the earth the
gas escaped with rush and allowed
the engines and bag to come down
with great force. Morrell and sey-
eral of the engineers were thus
caught and injured by the engines.
A panic followed among the specta-
tors and there was rush to attend
the injured. The victims were con
veyed'to the Roosevelt hospital.
The airship was built at cost OF
100000. 1t was more than 400 feet
long and Sc feet in diameter

None of the injured, with the pos
sible exception of one, is expected to
die, but seven are seriously hurt.
They are: J. A. Morrell, inventor OF
the airship, right leg broken; q. T..
Taylor, aeronaut, known as Captain
Penfold, broken ankle and instep,
and injured spine; Otto Olsen, one
of the crew, broken ribs and injured
back; G. A. Nelson, engineer, frac-
tured pelvis and injuries to back; S.
Whipple, engineer, fractured right
leg and probable internal injuries:
L. V, Rodgers, engineer, fractured
right leg, internally injured, and may
die; E. G. Wallin, newspaper photJ-
grapher of San Francisco, injured
foot, bruised and suffering from the
shock.
The accident was spectacular and
sensational, thousands of people hav-
ing gathered about the lot where the
great caterpilla"-shaped air craft had
been inflated with Illuminating gas.
The stay ropes were cut at half pa 1t
IL o'clock. The air ship rose slowly
from the earth. Five gasoline en-
gines, suspended beneath the big bag
at distances probably fifty feet apart,
were each attended by an engineer,
but were not put in operation until
well UP in the air, when two of them
had slowly set long propellors in mo-

BISHOPS BATTLE
OF The BALLOTS
(By Associated Press.l

BALTIMORE, Md, May 23.-An
epitomized history OF the Episcopal
election is one effective ballot elect
ing two bishops of the eight new ones
ordered, eight ballots that have been
without result and the tenth cast and
the ballot slips uncounted, and not
to be unsealed until Monday. Hence
there can be nothing tangible, but
speculation as to what the tenth bai-
lot will show. Many, judging by his
steady advance, believe there will be
announced the, election of Rev. w.
A. Quayle of Chicago, and that the
election of Rev. Edwin H. Hughes;
president of Depauw University, will
speedily follow. Others look for the
election Of Rev. Wilson S. Lewis,
president of Morningside College.

COUNTESS To PLAY
THE GLYN HEROINE
SHE is ALSO A RUSSIAN, HAS AN
ACCENT, A WEIRD LOOK AND
$4,000 WARDROBE.

PARIS, Aug. 6.-James X. Hackett
produces the dramatic version Of
Three Weeks in ST Louis on Sept.
/ and will launch in the United States
new actress, who has everything
desirable, including $4,000 ward
robe and al Italian title.
Ii appears that the chief object OF
Mrs. Gyms visit TO Europe was to find
an actress to create the leading part
in her play. She had made up her
mind that the character could not
be played effectively except by an
actress of foreign birth who spoke
English with an accent. AS soon as
Mrs. Glyn reached Paris she secured
the theaters in search OF competent
actress speaking broken English. Her
salon at the Hotel Ritz was stormed
by polygot stars Madame Simone,
the divorced wife OF lie Bargy. having
let out the news that she had refused
the part, though offered thousand
dollars performance, six actresses
learned scenes from the play and
went to the Ritz 10 show Mrs. Glyn
what they could do for great desl
less than a thousand per performance.
One French actress. unable TO speak
"a word of English. learned the words
by rote in the hope of securing tho
golden opportunity.
The only result was that Mrs. Glynn
has case OF nervous prostration.
Finally, after Hackett had sailed.
the authoress unearthed an actress
having all the quallications-acce
temperament, beauty and experience
required by the role. This artist.
known as Lea Siria, had been play
ing In Brussels and has made occa-
sional appearances In Paris. In pri-
vate life she Is the Countess Miro ID
venturini. her husband being of an
ancient Tuscan house and slender
means. BY birth Russian Jewess,
the countess Is tall. very slight and
graceful, with black hair, black eyes,
a very noble face and a telling voice
She is considered a great beauty. but
will probably strike American audi
ences as weird rather than beautiful,
which Is exactly wha. the authoress
desires. When Mrs. Glyn played the
heroine at her private performance
IN London she took the countess over
to see how the part should be played.
but Mile. Siria says she will play me
part another way.
Mile. Siria will go to America pre-
pared to play not. only the role for
which she has been specially engaged,
hut with a repertory Of plays TO fol-
low SHOULD she not make success and
the play fall down. She sails Aug Is,
and Mrs. Glyn, who il now in England,
will sail on that date by the Lusitania
