vANDERsnT's sTEPsoN KILLED
First Story of Auto Accident Was
Slightly Erroneous.

Paris, July 2s.-G winthrop Sands,
a stepson of w. K. Vanderbilt, was
killed in frightful automobile acci-
.dent which occurred at o'clock this
morning, just outside the grounds of
Mr.. Vanderbilt's beautiful country
seat chateau ST. Louis de Poissy, 20
miles from Paris.
Mr.. Sands was riding with the
chauffeur when. in some manner,
which has not yet been cleared up,
the automobile, which was sprinting
along at fairly high rate of speed,
left the road and struck the tree with
terrific force. The car was overturned
and Sands and the chauffeur were
pinned under the wreckage. The gas
oline tank probably exploded, as the
wreck at once caught fire.

ANGERED AT
u. S. MINISTER
Romania May Ask Recall Of
Legate

Bucharest, July 2s.-Charging Hor-
ace G. Knowles. United States minis
ter to Roumania, with exceeding his
authority in negotiating an extradition
treaty with Roumania which the
United States repudiated, the Rsu-
manian government feels emblttered
against the United States and will
likely ask the recall of Knowles.
Knowles is accused Of representing
to the Roumanian government that he
was authorized to conclude an extra
ditiCn treaty, whereas he was merely
empowered to draft a tentative meas
ure for submission to his government.
Acting on Knowles representations
Premier Sturdza drew up a formal
treaty, which the Roumanian parlia-
ment ratified. The United States dis
avowed this treaty Parliament be-
came indignant, asserting that it had
been tricked and fooled by Knowles.

we're blow by the transcontinental rail-
roads which have decided to abandon
a large portion of this business.
BY the same action the railroads
controlled by Edward H. Hartman,
James j.. Hill. the Berwynd Syndicate
and the Canadian government. have
made 1t possible, it is asserted. for
the japanese government to realize
speedily its ambition to become mas
ter of all the trade in the Pacific seas.
In so doing the roads are carrying out
the threat which was made to the in
terstate commerce commission at the
time that body issued what is known
as Rule s6 1t Is displeasure at this
rule and belief upon the part of rail-
road managers that they cannot COM
ply with 1T except at severe peril OF
their revenues on domestic business
which caused them to abandon the
oriental trade.
The rule in question requires the
railroads to publish inland proportions
of their import and export rates and
as subsequently modified by the COM
mission not to change these rates un-
der three days notice for lowering
and ten days notice for an advance.
