WILHELMINA IN
DANGER OF DEATH
Queen of Holland and Prince
Henry in Crossing
Accident.

The Hague, Feb. 26.-Queen Wilhel-
nina and Prince Henry, her husband,
had a narrow escape from serious in
jury in a carriage accident which oe-
CURED near the palace today. The
prince was driving the carriage in
which her majesty was seated. In a
narrow part of the road an electric car,
coming at full speed. suddenly collided
with the vehicle before the prince could
turn out The impact was very severe,
and the carriage was badly wrecked.
three wheels being torn off. Fortunate
ly, neither the queen nor the prince was
hurt Her majesty was somewhat I'M
nerved, but she was able to walk to the
palace. Shortly afteTWard she left the
palace and went to the residence of her
mother. in order to Teassure her and
prove that she had not been injured.
Motorman Acted Quickly.
Had it not been for the promptness
of the motorman in the car shutting
off the current and jamming down the
brakes. the royal phaeton would have
been smashed into matehwood and the
occupants would have been crushed to
death. AS it was, the vehicle was
thrown against one of the iron stand
ards carrying the electric wire and
pinned between this post and the car
itself. Had the car run a foot further,
the carriage would have been COM
pletely demolished.
The shock of the collision threw
Prince Henry from his seat, but the
queen, with great presence of mind,
jumped from che phaeton and alighted
safely. She Seized the bride of the
rearing horse before the spectators of
the accident had recovered sufficiently
to render assistance.
The queen and Prince Henry subse-
quently walked in the palace park,
where the collected crowd gave evidence
of its joy at their escape.

Recognizing that the recent tribute
of certain members of the general as
sembly to the eminent merits and pub
lie services of Hon. William H. Taft
was fully within the scope of their
rights as individual Republicans. the
committee feels that for it to make. as
such. any declaration for a presidential
candidate would transcend its powers
and be liable to misconstruction as
seeking TO forestall the decision of ques-
tons committed for determination to
state and district conventions of the
party and their duly elected delegates.
For this reason, the committee re-
Trains from any further expression on
this subject, confident that the Repub-
licans OF Maryland viii at the proper
time support such a candidate as they
demanded IN the party's last state con-
Vention.'

A TOUGH CROWD
New York Governor Fails to
Take the Scalp of Otto
Kelsey.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 26.-Without a
word of comment on the merits of the
question, the senate today for the sec
ond time refused to concur in the re-
neWed recommendation of Governor
Hughes that Otto Kelsey be removed
on the ground of incompetency in the
Office of state superintendent of insur-
anee. The vote was: Yeas, 10: nays,
80; absent or not voting, 3 The vote
last year was "A to q.
Charges Against Kelsey.
In a message which he sent to the
senate recently asking a vote sanction
ing the removal of superintendent
Kelsey. Governor Hughes stated that
the superintendent neglected to bring
the insurance department out of the
condition of inefficiency which an ex-
ecutive committee in 1906 had shown
prevailed there. Sub-agents who had
failed under previous superintendents
to perform their duties i'm the public in
terest, as the governor claimed. had
been permitted to retain their places,
and there had been no reorganization
of the department such as, in the gov
ernor's judgment, was demanded to
place it upon basis of efficiency such
as was Necessary to restore confidence
in the insurance companies doing bust
ness in this state. In short, the gov
ernor held, Superintendent Kelsey did
not measure up to the standard re-
quired of the head of so important a
department of the state.
Report of Fleming.
With his message, Governor Hughes
transmitted to the senate the report
of Matthew c. Fleming, who had been
appointed to examine Superintendent
Kelsey and to look into the workings
of the insurance department. Mr..
Jennings findings were strongly con-
demnatory of Mr.. Kelseys administra-
ton.
