WOMAN HURT IN
MOTOR ACCIDENT
Chauffeur Accused of Reckless
Driving Promises to Pay for
Smashing Wagon.

Several persons narrowly escaped seri-
GUS injury on Benning road shortly
after midnight last night, when a four
pa assenger automobile driven by Charles
NJ. Flagg, of 1910 Calvert street north
west, collided with a truck wagon, IN
which James Snowden and his wife. OF
Deanwood, D. C. were going home from
market.
The automobile going, it is alleged, at
rapid clip struck the wagon a glanc-
ing blow and knocked one of the wheels
completely off. Mrs. Snowden was
slightly injured on the leg. The ma
chine, carrying three girls, living out
near Chesapaa Junction, and three
young men did not stop.
1t was later halted by Policeman Stro-
bel, on telephone information giving
the number, from Policeman Bartleman
Bartleman saw the machine going out II
street and gave chase to apprehend the
driver for alleged speeding. He failed
to overtake it, but got sufficiently close
to get the number, d. c. 1867.
Flagg promised to pay all damage and
was released on depositing $50 collat'
eral for speeding, and SO collateral fol

SENATOR GORE IS
GUEST Of WILSON.
POLITICS BARRED
Conferences Planned for To-
morrow Will Determine
Western Campaign.

SEAGIRT, N. j., Aug. 11.-For the
first time in weeks Governor Wilson
spent the entire day at the Little
White House resting from the labors
of a weeks labor that was quite the
nominatio for the Presidency. He ap-
peared much refreshed.
The only visitor Of national impor-
tance today was Senator Gore of Okla
homa, who, with Mrs. Gore, motored
over from Asbury Park where they
have been since shortly after the Bal
timore convention. The blind Senator
had social chat with Governor Will
son, but the governor would not break
into his rule not to discuss politics, on
the Sabbath.
Tomorrow Governor Wilson IL sched-
uled for a conference with Joseph l..
Davies, OF Wisconsin, and Congressman
Shirley of Kentucky. 1t Is probable
Mr. Davies will receive final instruc-
lions from the governor for the cam
paign through the West. Mr.. Davies
having been designated to take charge
of the Chicago headquarters. He is
secretary of the national campaign COM
mittee. He probably will leave for
Chicago on Wednesday.
Congressional matters likely VIII be
discussed between Mr.. Shirley and the
/ governor. 1t is possible. though hardly
! proba ble that the Kentucky situation
| will be taken up at this time.
! Contributions to the campaign are
still coming in: in quantities that are
gratifying to the governor. Many are
from Republicans. and they are espe

Labor Day celebration at Benning, and

T, Plans are now practically completed

offer OF handsome hve-piece suite of
furniture to young couple. who will

All these applications state that the
blushing bride will positively not back
down on account of the crowd. and,
that, IL given the privilege and furnish

peace. they guarantee the knot will be
tied right before everybody.
The committee will either select one

CONGRESS EXPECTED
TO RECEOE STAND
ON TENURE CLAUSE
Veto of President Will. Be
Final, 1t Is Believed, by
Clerks Chairman.

That Congress will recede from the
provision in the legislative bill which
provides for seven-year tenure for
Government employees in the classified
service Is the consensus of opinion In
House and Senate circles. Following
the veto of the President, 1t is declared
by those who have looked into the sit
uation, that the House and Senate will
both give way on the seven-year ten
ure proposition.
The votes cannot be mustered to pass
the bill over the veto of the President,
and Congress will be obliged to give
way.
The legislative bill contains also the
provision to abolish the Commerce
Court, to which the President Is OPP
posed. This is one of the grounds on
which he will veto the measure.
1t is doubtful. however, whether there
will be any receding by Congress or
this matter. The bill may be sent back
to the President minus the seven-year
provision. but with the provision to
abolish the Commerce Court.
Another proposal Is to omit all refer.
ence to the Commerce Court in the
/; legislative bill, but simply refuse Il
appropriate for 1t.
L. Il. Chase, chairman of the commit
| tee of 100, organized in behalf of the
clerks, believes there Is no question but
that the seven-year legislation will fai
| and that the President will veto II a.
often as 1t may be sent to him. Isaac
Cans, vice chairman, and other mem
| bers take the same view. They hole
| that the needed two-thirds cannot b,
had to pass the vetoed bill over tn,
head of the President and that 1t II
virtually dead SO far as the seven
year proviso is concerned.
Chairman Fitzgerald of the House Ap
preparations Committee, is so far rathe
titude on the legislative bill. He as
serts that, II the President carries ou
his intention to veto the legislative bill
because of the seven-year tenure an,
the Commerce Court clauses, the meas
ure may be repassed in such shape a
ITO strike at several things dear t
| the Presidents heart"
| may result In Congress remaining II
| session for weeks. 1T is not my idei
OF progress" he added. referring to tn
unofficial announcement that the Presi
| dent will veto another big supply bill.
Nevertheless. 1t Is believed that tn
Senate and House finally will reced
on both the Commerce Court and tn
| seven-year tenure clauses. and that
after perfunctory opposition, possibl
eliminating in an attempt to pass tn
bill over the veto. the bill will becom
law in the shape demanded by tn
Executive.
Members OF the House and Senat
are growing tired of the long session
1t is difficult to keep a quorum in eithe
body, and the getaway spirit Is now Il
the air.

The lots OF his hearing was a sad misfor-,
tune and the future looked very dark. OF
course. Mr. Farrar had tried one thing after
another: he had followed medical advice. had
consulted specialists and had adopted various
devices and remedies tspending much money!
but all TO no avail. He felt that he was
doomed to end his life in that melancholic
stiffness which is dreaded by all who are
inclined toward deafness
Mr.. Farrar has always been popular. and
his friends were exceedingly sympathetic but
even these kind sentiments did not appease
his detection. One day, however, he happened
to learn of a simple and harmless home self
treatment method, which he decided to try.
He did not have much hope. because he had
been disappointed In his previous attempts.
Yet in this case. to his surprise and Joy, he
found that his hearing began to improve al
most Immediately, and II continued until he
became so well that he has been able to do

Mr.. Farrar is so delighted with the manner
in which he was liberated from the thral-
dom OF deafness and head-noises, as well as
the way in which his health was generally
improved, that he is giving information about
this wonderful treatment to all who write
him and will cheerfuy send full particulars
Of how his own hearing restored, also
telling how others may get the same treat
ment. 1t is only necessary to write to Mr..

would, under the law. be justified In
throwing out a Republican who had
got such support by coming out for
Taft or Roosevelt, as the case might be.
The Democrats being united on Will
son, their situation Is to some extent
different. though II is insisted that un-
der the law nominee for House or
Senate has no business to logroll with
other candidates to get support for
himself, whether the other candidate be
up for President or dog catcher.
A western Republican Congressman,

MRS. ALLEN TO GET
FORTUNE TOMORROW
Young Matron Who Is Accused BY
Jeweler To Fight
Charges.

Coming into possession tomorrow Of a
fortune said to be about 100000, Mrs.
Mary Hume Collins Allen, the pretty
Georgetown woman who will be tried on
August 30 on a charge of larceny by
trick" of a vanity set" from Milton
Baer, Georgetown jeweler, Is pre-
pared to fight whatever charges her
alleged business enemies may care to
bring against her.
John Doyle Carmody, her attorney, is
extremely confident when the case is
called in court on August 30 that his
clients name will be cleared of the
stigma placed on 1t by Baer's charges
A large part of the estate inherited by
Mrs. Allen has been placed in the hands
of her attorney. Mn CSrmody denies
that this move was made to avoid any
claims that might be instituted against
his client. He is simply trustee of the
property.

Comptroller Murray
Off to Seek Health

Comptroller of the Currency Lawrence
o. Murray will leave the city in the
next few days for the mountains. where
he hopes to recover the strength he
has lost as result of a severe attack
of grippe. Neither the time of his
departure nor the place he will go have
been determined but his physician, DIR.
p. Edward Larkin. stated today that it
will, be necessary for the Comptroller
to seek a higher climate.
Mr.. Murray is now in Georgetown
University Hospital. 1t Is believed that
the grippe has been about conquered,
but the patient has lost a great deal
Of vitality as a result of his illness.
Dr. Larkin states there Is nothing seri-
Gus, but that II will take a good rest
in the mountains to restore the official
to health.
His present condition, according to
the physician, is as much attributed to
overwork as to any other cause.

House, inasmuch as such member may
have to vote on the Presidency when
1t is thrown into the House. and. there

stantial to give in return to the candi-
date for President whose support he

II the election of President Ia thrown

ent House. That is the very reason,
say the discoverers of a new meaning
in the law Of August 10. 1911. that a
present member Of the House who is UP
for reelection has something worth
while to deliver to a Presidential candi-
date. and why. therefore. there are IN
ducements to trade support, and why
the law ought to be rigidly applied.
It will be one of the most astonishing
spectacles ever presented in the his
tory of American politics IL something

HUNDREDS KILLED
!. BY EARTHQUAKE IN
EUROPEAN TURKEY
Seaport of Gallipoli De-
stroyed and Other
Towns Wrecked.

CoNSTANTINOPLE, Aug. ii The
Turkish seaport of Gallipoli 1872 miles
west of this city, and the town OF
Tchanak- Kalessi at the narrowest part
Of the Dardanelles, were destroyed. by
the earthquake Friday. Many OF the
inhabitants were injured and few
killed. News Of the disaster did no.
reach here until last night, as the tele-
graph service has been disrupted.
The details of the earthquake which
are coming in slowly owing to the inter-
ruption of the wires, indicate that the
seismic disturbance was widespread.
Several hundred persons have been
killed. thousands are homeless and out
breaks of fire have occurred in many
Of the towns and villages. Great de-
struction has been caused by the up
heaval.
The entire district between Constan-
tinople and Adrianople felt the shock
severely. Fugitives from Myriophito
report 800 killed and 800 injured. The
town was still burning when they left.
Ganos-Hora has been wiped out, eighty
persons being killed and thirty wound
ed. The wrecked buildings took hre,
and most OF them were burned to the
ground. Shar-koi was destroyed, and
two nearby villages were engulfed.
Adrianople suffered little damage. but
Tchorlu was partly destroyed by the
earthquake and fire.
The center Of the disturbance appears
to have been in the region Of the OAR
danelles. Eye witnesses have arrived
here from that section and give har-
rowing accounts of the havoc wrought.
The majority OF the houses in Gallipoli
are in ruins. and the people are camp
ing In the fields. Tchanak- Kalessi is
in an equally bad plight, but the loss
of lives in these towns is small. al
though the injured are many.
The Turkish seaport of Gallipoli is
situated at the exit from the Darda-
nelles into the Sea of Marmora. 1t was
formerly a town OF great Importance,
with a population of 100000, which, how
ever, has now dwindled to less than
5000. The town Of Tchanak- Kalessi
is a small place with about 10000 inhab-
itants near the center of the Darda-
nelles on the Asia Minor side.
