IMPACT KILLS TWO
Third MortaIIy Injured in
Wreck of Automobile.
TWO CHILDREN BADLY HURT
Traction Car Collides With Machine
Owned by Mrs. Frances Hodg-
son Burnett, Novelist.

NEW YORK, July IA wrecking car
Of the New York and North Shore
Traction Company, speeding across the
Plandome boulevard at the intersection
with Little Neck road, between Port
Washington and Roslyn. l. l., yesterday
moved down the automobile owned by
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett. novelist,
Instantly killing her brother-in-law and
secretary, Frank P. Jordan. and causing
the death of Miss Edith tombstone,
sister of T. III. tombstone, manager of the
United States Printing Company.
Miss Johnstone's sister Mildred, who.
with their nieces Hope and Louise john
stone made up the five members Of the
motor party, was mortally injured. The
automobile. reduced to scrap iron, was
scattered for hundred feet along the
tracks. A social engagement led Mrs.
Burnett to quit the motor car Just as 1t
was leaving her home in Plandome, two
miles from the fatal crossing.
Road Obscured Embankment.
The Plandome boulevard crossing is
midway down the steep slope Of Flower
hill, a short distance from the home of
former City Chamberlain Charles III. Hyde
The traction company has private right
Of way obscured by shrubs and low trees,
which runs parallel with Little Neck road.
At a point where the Plandome road and
Little Neck road meet an embankment
entirely screens the railroad track from
the highway. The railroad company,
realizing the danger of the crossover.
some time ago erected a sign ordering the
motormen to stop the cars there.
Mr.. Jordan, the Misses tombstone and
their nieces were on their way to Port
Washington. The motor car in which
they were riding is of the low-power type
and at its best can make less than thirty
miles an hour. At the railroad tracks a
slight upward slope makes it necessary
for automobilists to put on full power
in order to gain the Little Neck road
Until the top of the hillock is reached
the chauffeur of a car is unable to get a
clear view of the tracks.

POTATO CROP A FAILURE.
Farmers in Shenandoah Valley Will
Suffer Heavy Losses.

LURAY. Va, July 1.-THE loss on
the potato crop to farmers of the Shen-
andoah valley will total thousands of
dollars. On account of the failure,
caused by a severe drought in May,
farmers and truckers are seeking other
crops as substitute. some of which,
though apparently unreasonable, they
are still planting.
The potato crop was the heaviest
ever planted. and the fertilizer and
seed used will not be more than one
fourth paid for by the yield. The total
loss of the hay crop also in this terri :
tory will cause an early disposal Of
stock of all kinds.

Dies Before Reaching Hospital.

The automobile ambulance carried the
living to the hospital, five miles away, in
less than ten minutes. Specialists at
once answered calls, but Miss Edith died
before she could be placed on the operat-
ing table. The bodies of Jordan and Miss
tombstone were taken to the Roslyn
morgue.
AT the Office of the traction company
every effort was made to keep secret
the facts of the accident. When Motor
man Harris reached there to make his
report he was cautioned not to make
any further statements. General Man
ager Stanley said the company would not
even admit that there had been an ac-
cident Then he added that there was no
evidence of any.
In the car barns of the company at
Roslyn the evidence of the smashup was
carefully concealed and guarded. AL
most before the body of Jordan had been
carried away parts of the automobile
had been loaded on fiat car and Sc
creted away from the eyes of the Curl
Gus. Coroner Remsan will make rigid
inquiry.
The motorman OF the wrecking car was
not arrested, but he declared he would
be ready to appear when he is wanted by
the authorities.

The Burnett automobile had just reached
the turning point where the trolley line
rails are even with the highway grade
when the wrecking car. not scheduled on
regular traffic, shot down the hillside.
Its momentum was increased by heavy
load of dynamoS which were being car
ried from Port Washington to Roslyn.
The car was in charge of Henry Harris.
one of the most careful motormen in the
employ of the traction company, and, &C
cording to his statement he sounded a
blast Of his siren before taking the de-
scent.
Like huge cannon the automobile
came up out of the clearing beyond the
shrubs and bushes Harris said when
he described the accident to a reporter
for the World Il had barely time to
reverse the motor clutch when the i'm
pact came. Before me / saw the faces
of the man, the two women and the two
children. The same instant deafening
roar sounded above the shrieks of the
victims.
Mr.. Jordans body shot through the
air. He must have died before ne struck
the ground. Ahead of me on the track
lay Miss Edith tombstone, apparently
dead, while her sister and the two little
girls We're stretched under a cloud of
dust. Although i seemed to be paralyz-
ed, / tugged at the brakes until the car
came TO a stop a short distance from the
place where Miss Edith tombstone had
been flung"
Motorman Harris had hardly brought
his car to stop when Arthur Wilkinson,
who lives less than one hundred yards
from the place of the wreck, came up
with, his brother and sister. They re-
moved the wounded children to their
home and sent to the Nassau Hospital at
Mineola for an ambulance. Hope john
stone. who is four years old, suffered
fractures of both legs. Her sister, six
years old. suffered broken arms. Every
rib of their aunt. Miss Mildred tombstone
was broken, and she suffered from other
injuries.

ADJ VALOREM DUTIES
TO Be SUBSTITUTED
Congress May Abolish 20 Per
Cent Cuban Preferential
on Sugar.

| WASHINGTON, Nov. 2f-The aholi-
/ tion OF the 20 per cent difference in IA
vor of Cuban sugar provided by the pres
ent tarift law and the substitution OF AN
ad valorem rate of from 80 TO 55 per cent
for the specific rates probably will be
undertaken at the coming session Of
congress. The suggestion has been made
by some of the independent rchners and
II has been received with favor by Re-
publican senators who will be active in
any tariff legislation that may be under
taken.
II is coutended that neither the Cuban
planter nor the American consumer re
ceves any considerable portion OF tho
benefit derived from the present prefer
ential arranged. and IL Is urged that a
reduction on some imnortatious thus
could be provided. while at the same
time practically preserving the protcc-
tion at present afforded 10 American
sugar makers. Almost all OF the sugar
brought into the United States comes
from Cuba. The average rate now paid
on Cuban importattoDs is equivalent to
about 30 per cent. and il is urged that
the ad vaorem rate suggested would
quite cover the Cuban protection. while
at the same time the effect would bc TO
lower the rate from other countries,
which is equivalent TO rs per cent

Next Experiment Will Include

washington, Feb. 14.-In the light of
fuller reports on the firing test in the
lower Potomac river last Friday when
u inch shells fired by the monitor
Tallahassee penetrated armor plate tar
gets erected on the ram Katahdin at :
distance of 5000 yards, naval ordnance
experts have reiterated their conteu-
ton that service projectiles retain
their effectiveness at long battle
ranges Only limited information hith-
erto has been available in connection
with an attack on arnor under condi-
tions approximating those of actual
battle.
The experiment is accepted by the
naval officers as confirmation of the
deductions which previously have been
projectiles and the nature of the i'm
pact at long ranges.
The first shot which struck the tar
get, according to the more complete re-
ports, which have been received, penc-
trated the armor but the shell was
broken to pieces. The second projectile
struck the top of the forward target.
dug out piece of steel measuring 31a
feet by feet, glanced off and was lost.
1t Is not known whether the shell was
broken. The third and fourth shots
completely penetrated the two targets.
The third bored a clean hole-the
fourth likewise pierced the thick plate
and in addition tore off a big piece of
steel. None of the shells were loaded
with explosives, the test being de-
signed to determine the penetrating
power of the projectile.
The experiment will be supplemented
by tests on the old battleship Texas
during the target practice in the spring
when projectiles loaded with explosives
will be fired with the purpose of dem
onstrating the effectiveness of the ser
vice shell. If this is prosecuted to an
unquestionab1e conclusion, in all prob
ability it will result in the armor plate
manufacturers resorting to their in
ventive genius to devise species Of
armor that will resist the attack Of the
modern instruments Of war.
The firing against the Katahdin tar
gets was with guns of comparatively
low power, the velocity of projectiles
being only 2.400 feet per second, as
against 1850 given by the II inch guns
of the modern battleship. The pene-
tration given by these higher power
guns at 5000 yards range is declared
by naval ordnance experts to be nearly
80 per cent greater than that Of the
guns of the Tallahassee.

TAFT AND CHAMP CLARK
They Stand on Same Platform Literal
Iy and Politically.

washington, Feb. 14.-Reciprocity
with Canada, with all countries of
North and South America, and in fact,
with all nations, was advocated by
both President Taft and Speaker-to-be
Champ Clark in addresses at the
opening session of the Pan-American
Commercial conference.
Speeches favoring q closer CONNER
cial union of North and South Amer
lea with frequent reference to the
future influence of the Panama canal,
were made by the secretary OF state,
Mr. Knox; James A. Farrell, president
of the United States Steel corporation;
Senior CalVo, the Costa Rican minister
to the United States; Senior Calderon.
the Bolivian minister to the United
States, and Senior Casasus, formerly
the Mexican ambassador to this coun-
try. Nearly 500 delegates and almost
the entire diplomatic corps were pres
ent.
Champ Clark, who had just left the
house of representatives, announced IN
his address, amid loud applause, that
the test vote for immediate cons1dera-
ton of the Canadian reciprocity Dill
had been won by the administration
Turning to President Taft he sald'
laughingly:

But. speaking for myself-not for Pres
ldent Taft or anyone else-I am Tor

with all Sout, and Central American
republics. ..4..

cipIe is that honest trade never hurt

who followed Mr.. Clark, have gotten
together on one plank OF a PLATFORM,
we're both rather heavy men and 1
hope it'll support US. It's great pleas.
ure to be with him in the promotion O.
trade in one part of the world (Can-
ada). He's in favor Of reciprocity IN
all parts of the world and SO am l.
Secretary Knox emphasized the part
that American capital should play III
developing the resources of Pan-Amer-
lea.
