TWO DIED OF FRIGHT
Women Frightened to DEATH
When the Spokane Foundered.

Seattle, July 1.-The steamship Admiral
Sampson arrived here from the north to-
day bringing the bodies OF Mrs Gardner
f. Williams. OF Washington and Mrs. j..
f. Strauss. Of Philadelphia. who died OF
fright when the steamship Spokane was
wrecked Thursday night. The survivors
also returned on the Admiral Sampson.
Shortly before midnight on Thursday.
when all the passengers had reS1ed. the
Spokane passing through the perIlous Sey-
mour Narrows. where many stout ships.
including the American man-of-w war Aranic.
have met their doom. struck heavily on
Ripple Rock. which divides the channel
The tide carried the Spokane northward
out Of the narrows and the steamship was
guided into Plumper Bay before she sank.
The passengers scrambled to the upper
deck and were taken to the shore In the
small boats
When the roll was called 1t was found
that Mrs. Strauss and Mrs. Williams.
elderly women, were missing.
A search of the vessel was made and
Mrs. Williams body was found in toilet
room. 1t is supposed she foslnd herself
unable to escape after the ship struck ana
tainted. Death was due to drowning.
Mrs Strauss died from heart failure
shortly after the ship struck. excitement
and terror proving too much for her
The passengers were offered the privilege
of continuing their Alaska voyage on the
steamship city Of Seattle. which arrived at
Plumper Bay soon after the Spokane foun-
dered. but none wished to seek further al
venture.
a survey of the Spokane has not been
made. but shipping men believe that the
vessel, valued at 10000. is a total loss.
All the valuables will be recovered.

a field. Smith is heralded as formidable
by New Englanders, Barnes is thought 10
have the best chance by Pr!ncetonians'
Culman will carry metropolitan favor. and
Ouerbacker is conceded victory by Phila-
delphians When all is told though, there
is very little choice among these men
and a half dozen others. All have travelled
the century indoors between 1904 and 1:O6'
and considering the difference between
poo, swimming and open water competition
the prizes are likely to land anywhere.
Equally well balanced is the field in the
race for the senior quarter-mile champion

pected to make a neck-to-neck fight for 1t.
Stoddart and Frank Cross swan within a

latter won, but Stoddart is thought to be

Outdoor Summing Titles
at Stake This Week

lieyed able TO give either of his rivals the
race OF his life. II will not do. however,
70 overlook the possibilities OF Borden. OF
PENNSYLVANIA; Rogow and Campbell. OF
Columbia; Phillips and Kemmerer. OF the
College of the City OF New York. and Eyre
and Doan, Of Williams. who are used 10
outdoor work and may furnish a surprise
Anthony, of Pennsylvania. has been
picked for the half-mile swim. and VIII
undoubtedly make a strong bid for H. il
on hand Rumors OF his poor health nave
been circulating. and II is possible that ne
will be absent. McLanahan, OF Princeton
and Borden. OF Pennsylvania. appear 10 pe
next in line. unless Captain GosnelI' Oh
Princeton, should decide to withdraw one
of the Cross boys from the quarter ana
enter him for this race. which either one
could win. Other likely candidates are
Sutcliffe. of Columbia, and Israel and sum-
merfleld. of the College OF the City OF New
York. Sutclffe showed poor form last
winter. owing principally to his being stale
at the time Of the big meets, but he has
all the qualifications to make sterling
middle distance swimmer
The one mile event Is conceded to An
thony. again If he starts. His most re-
doubtable opponents will be Bertrand.
EoCow and Watson. of Columbia; ana
Steigman and Neussbaum, of the College
of the City of New York. IT Is believed.
however, that post entries will be made
by Schmitt and Palmer, OF Yale, and
Cross. of Princeton, which may upset cal
culations.
The fancy diving title appears to be a
gift to Captain Stoddart, OF Yale the
almost perfect form which he exhibited In
taking the indoor championship leaves no
doubt that he is head and shoulders above
his rivals For the places there Is
wealth of material so evenly matched that
1t is difficult to make predictions. Hughes,
Of Yale: Plat. Wight. Lawrence, Brazel-
ton and Dawson. of Princeton; Rogow and
Patterson, OF Columbia Ostrander. kauf-
man and Rudolph Of Cornell; and Field
ing and Berman, OF the College OF the City
of New York, will all be IN the running.
Platt, who won at the outdoor meet last
year, is liked best for second
All the swimming races Will be held
over a surveyed course in the Sheepshead
Bay lagoon and the fancy diving will be
done from the regulation Amateur Athletic
Union tower.

Daimler, with Knight Engine
Presented to George v.

One Of the coronation gifts TO Kins
George recently delivered to the royal
garage Is a 57-horscpower Knight-Daimlel
six-cylinder motor car. King George ex-
pressed deep interest recently in the sleeve
valve invention of Charles Y. knight. a
former Chicago engineer and motor car
builder. now associated with the Daimler
interests at Coventry, England. The
Knight-Daimler engine, under license ar
rangements, has also been adopted by the
largest makers OF motor cars in Europe
including the Mercedes, Panhard and
Minerva.
The Kings new car has the live-aXle
drive, and the coachwork Is the most eldb
crate ever attempted in England. No motor
car in the world is protected by so many
patents as the one that King George vii
use for his official trips. To take out and
maintain a master patent for such de
velopment as the KNIGHT sleeve-valve in
ternal combustion engine the chicagoar
found II necessary 20 take out at his owr
expense an average Of one patent week
Most Of these patents are In the nature OF
protecting himself against development
along any possible new line.

Lozier Company Will Race Only
on MOtordrOmeS.

The Lozier Motor Company have an
nounced that Lozier cars will In future
take no part In races or contests on dirt
tracks or horse tracks of any character
unless they have been rebuilt and remod-
elled for the express purpose Of automobile
racing and shall have received the APP
prevail of the proper Automobile Associs-
ton OF America committee. The fatal &C.
cident TO Basic at the Hawthorne track, IN
Chicago, recently. and the accident 70
Strang. in the Wisconsin races, add only
additional instances TO prove that racing
on these tracks is dangerous and entails
useless sacrifice of human lives.
C. A. Emise, Lozier racing manager
says:
THAT grave danger attends automobile
racing on horse tracks or unsuitable ROAD
courses has beer demonstrated so clearly
that there can be no excuse for encourag-
ing contests of this kind in the future.
This doesn't mean that horse tracks can
not be made safe. but the dirt surface
should he replaced by cement. wood or
brick. the high death dealing fences should
lie replaced by low stout guard rails on the
outer edge of the track, and the inner siue
of the track should be made smooth ana
hard, so that the cars leaving the ,aseh u,
the inside could continue on indefinitely
rather than become mired III soft dirt or
sand or strike open bitches or other OBJ
structions which result in the overturnins
of a car. ,,,. ,,oo,,o;
automobile speedways such as at Atlanta;
Los Angeles and Indianapolis. or to road
courses like Savannah. Elgin, paramount
Park and Santa Monica. where CROWDS are
kept well away from the course and mill
tary or police protection is provided, it may
result in reducing the number or racing
events held throughout the country, but II
would at the same time encourage those
safe tracks 20 take every further precau-
tion necessary to avoid accidents and re-
ceive the reward which should come 10
them by concentrating the patronage OF
contestants and the public to those tracks
or courses
