AUTOIST KILLS
MAN; SPEEDS ON
DETECTIVES SCOUR CITY FOR
CHAUFFEUR
Two Lie in Road Unattended for an
Hour-Struck from Behind While
Walking Along Hunting
ton Drive

The life of John Carno, contractor
living at Huntington Beach, was
crushed out last night and serious in
juries sustained by his brother Peter
when an automobile going at terrific
rate of speed, struck the brothers as
they were walking along Huntington
drive between Turquoise and Emerald
streets, just outside the city limits,
on the Pasadena line.
The driver of the automobile did not
stop his machine and for more than
an hour the dead man and his brother
lay in the lonely road before aid was
received.
AS soon as the matterA was reported
at police headquarters a number Of
detectives were detailed to find the
driver of the auto.
The place where the accident hap
pened is a dark spot just beyond the
Pasadena short line junction. The hrst
word of the fatality was given to +.
Abramson, a grocer, when Peter GaTno IN
staggered into his store and in IN
coherent words stated that his
brother was dying.
Mr.. Abramson investigated and
found John Carno dead in the middle
of the road, and by the light of his
lantern found pieces of glass such as
are in the headlights of automobiles
AS soon as Abramson found the body
Peter Carno fell unconscious and was
not revived until just before an am
bulance drove to the scene.
Forgetful of his own injuries, the
brother begged to be allowed to ac-
company the body of his brother, and
his wish was gratified, the body taken
to the undertaking establishment OF
John r. Paul.
Tells of Tragedy
Although dazed and injured Peter
Carno gave an account of the accident
which resulted in his brothers death,
which is not accepted in whole by the
police Peter insists that he and his
| brother left car at Pasadena juno
ton intending to walk to the home OF
a friend when an automobile came
along and struck them from behind.
He insisted that he know the number
of the auto which caused the fatality
and kept repeating the number 1854.
Automobile No. 1854 is registered as
the property of e. w. Davies OF 66l
South Burlington avenue. Detective
| Tom Ziegler, who was detailed on the
case. said last night that the number
| had been transferred and Mr.. Davies
no longer owned the machine.
| The version of the police is that Pc
| ter and his brother were walking along
the road when the auto came from the
rear and struck them tossing each to
one side, and the fact of finding the
broken glass near the body, bears out
| the statement.
When Abramson found the body he
| telephoned to different places but it
was over an hour before an ambulance
from the undertaking rooms of John
r. Paul arrived.
| Peter Carno, after accompanying his
brothers. body to the undertaking
rooms, was taken to the receiving hos
pital. where it was found that he had
sustained a severe laceration of the
lip, and it is feared internal injuries.
| owing to the dazed condition of
Peter Carno a number of detectives
were detailed on the case to substanti-
ate his story and to locate the driver
of the auto.
John Carno was 27 years old and
| unmarried,

FISH NOT CONSIDERED
AS MINISTER TO CHINA

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-So far as
could be learned in official circles here
tonight the name of Stuyvesant Fish
of New York had not been considered
in connection with the United States
ministership to China. The report has
been published in Shanghai and cabled
to this country relative to the probable
appointment of Mr.. Fish to fill the
vacancy in the Chinese mission. 1t was
read with interest in this city.
In casting about last summer for a
successor to Minister Rockhill, who had
been transferred as ambassador to Rus
sia, the name of Mr.. Fish was sug-
gested, but it was found that he did
not care for the position.

NEWS OF BUCHANAN'S
DEATH CAUSES SHOCK
IN CAPITAL CIRCLES

WASHINGTON, oct. 17.-News or
Mr.. Buchanan's death came as a great
shock to official Washington. Since
president Clevelands last administra-
tion Mr.. Buchanan had been con-
nected with the department OF state
i'm important diplomatic work ana was
regarded as a foremost American
diplomat. ze,,, -
Tatin-American activities, not only be-
cause of his mastery of the Spanish
language. but also because or MS
ability to enter into the peculiar mental
processes of the South and central
American people.
Mr. buchanan was born in Coving-
ton. Ohio, September 10, 1858. he was
appointed United States minister TO
the Argentine Republic by President
cleveland in 1894. He negotiated a
reciprocity treaty between Argentina
and the United States that gave prom
Use of benefit to the business interests
of the two countries, but this failed
of ratification by the United states
senate. One of his important achieve
ments while in Buenos Ayres was ms
settlement of the boundary dispute
between Argentina and Chile, which
threatened to involve the two countries
in war.
Managed Pan-AmerIcan ra'r
Mr.. buchanan, as director general,
successfully managed the Pan-Amerl-
can exposition at Buffalo.
Scarcely had he finished his service
as delegate to the second ran
American conference in Mexico CITY,
in 1902, before he was again drafted
into the diplomatic service to become
the first United States minister TO
Panama, where, owing to his tact, ne
was able to adjust many difficult IS
sues.
Voluntarily relinquishing that post
when his work was done, Mr.. Buchanan
went later to Europe as representa-
tive of large business concerns. But
soon another call from the state de-
nartment, and he went to the Rio
Janeiro conference and then to Nene-
zuela.
American concessions and diplomatic
business generally was in bad shape In
that country, and Mr.. Buchanan sue
ceeded in arranging for a private set
tlement of four of the five great Amer1-
can claims against Venezuela, and FOR
the reference to The Hague tribunal
of the fifth.
He had been named as agent for
America in the presentation of TINS
case-that of the Orinocco steamship
company-to The Hague tribunal when
he left New York for London recently,
and was in conference with The state
department almost up to the day OF
his death in regard to that business.
