HOPE FOR RECOVERY
OF W0MAN'S VICTIM
District Attorney Each of Richmond
Borough, Who Was Shot Yesterday
By Mrs. Edmunds, Was
Better To-day.

New York. Aug. 20.--Hope was enter
tained to-day for the recovery of Dis
trict Attorney Albert G. Each of Rich
mond county, who was shot yesterday
by Mrs. Elizabeth NJ Edmunds. The
woman admitted the attack, and said
that it was regrettable. She is the wife
of DR.. John Edmunds, dentist, with
offices at Thirty-ffth street and Sixth
avenue.
The assault grew out of the refusal
of the district attorney to accept her
retainer in the action which the woman
has instituted against her husband for
a separation.
At the hospital the surgeons found
that Mr.. Each had been shot through
the right lung, the right shoulder and
the foot The attack was made so sld
denly that it was some time before the
attaches of the Office could give cohe-
rent account of what had happened
Rudolph kleinschmidt. clerk in the
office OF the district attorney, told the
authorities that Mrs. Edmunds had
started separation action against her
husband and that the case was nov
pending before Justice Kelly Of the sl-
preme court, Brooklyn. The clerk said
that Mrs. Edmunds had called on the
district attorney to engage him to push
her complaint, but that Mr.. Each. after
being advised of the circumstances, de-
elined to act as her counsel.
Then letter of warning was received
from Justice Kelly, who wrote the dis
trict attorney that he regarded the au-
thor of the enclosed letter a dangerous
person and suggested that the prosecu-
tor hand the letter which had been writ.
ten by Mrs. Edmunds to Justice Kelly,
over to her counsel, Mr. Parsons.
Kleinschmidt while declining to make
public Mrs. Edmunds' letter or the one
written by Justice Kelly, said that the
court advised Mr.. Parsons concerning
his client.

WARNED AWAY FROM PEKING
1T Is Said That Counter r-Revolutionaries
in National Capital Are Planning to
Put Him Out of the Way
lTts He Is on the Way There.

Peking, Aug. 2o.-Numerous kilograms
have been sent to Chi Flu by friends
of DR.. Sun Vat Sen, advising the for
mer president of the Chinese republic
not to continue his journey to Pekin.
A number of counter revolutionaries in
the capital are said to be planning DR..
Suns assassination
DIR. Sun left Shanghai yesterday, in
tending to go to Pekin to endeavor TO
conciliate the rival factions.
San Francisco, Aug i20.-Rumors that
DIR. Sun Vat Sen, first provincial presi-
dent of China. had been assassinated in
Peking yesterday by the soldiers of Pres
iident Yuan Shi kai caused great ex-
jcitement in Chinatown last night. The
lrumors could be traced to no authorta.
tive source, but varying accounts OF the
alleged assassination were posted on bull
letin boards throughout the Chinese
quarter.
At the offices of the Chinese consul
general and the two Chiense daily news
papers, no news of an attack upon Dir.
sun had been received and the report
of-his death was given little credence.
Cabegrams were dispatched to Peking,
however, inquiring as to the safety of
the former revolutionary leader.

Tragedy on Maine Lake.

Bangor. Me-, July 90. The body Of
Arthur Colson OF Ellsworth Falls, who
with Sheriff James Webster. Deputy
Sheriff Edward Finn and Joseph Clough
all of Ellsworth, was drowned in Greene
lake on Nov. PC. 1911 was recovered
yesterday afternoon, having been dis
covered by fisherman in shoal wa

drowning.
Sheriff Webster and Deputy Finn had
gone to Greene lake to interview Clo,lgh
and Colson concerning the robbery of
some cottages and had started to re-
tirn across the lake in a canoe 1t was
the accepted theory at the time that
the canoe was overturned in rough wa
ter and that Colson and Clough went
TO the assistance of the officers and
all drowned together, and this seems TO
be supported by the recovery of all The
bodies in the same locality.

Laconia, n. H., Aug. 20.-Speeding

but sustained no more serious injuries
than few scratches about the face.
The train left Boston at 1890 p. M,
and was due at Laconia at 3;l5. The
accident occurred at about 4 o'clock.
The mail car was damaged the worst,
part of the side having been carried
away, the trucks ripped off and the mill
sacks scattered about. Had the train
plunged off the rails on the right side
it is probable that the story would have
been different, for the coaches would
have landed in the waters of Lake Pau
gus. As il was, none of the passengers
received more than severe shaking
up.
Wrecking crews went to the scene
from Woodsville. Concord, and Lyndon
vile, Vt. and began work at once upon
the wreckage The train was in charge
of Conductor I. b. Mank of Boston
and Engineer George w. Calkins and
the fireman was Roy Knocks.
Doctors were rushed from this place
soon after news of the wreck reached
here The noise of the crash was heard
by summer residents in the vicinity of
the accident and several launches and

enee of over one thousand persons ut
Island Park last night Clifford Pimhot.

sons for Vermont to rally to the stand
ard of the progressives rather than TO
support either Of the other two parties.
He characterized the fight for control
being made by the progressiyes as the
greatest battle ever waged in this coun-
try, and said that throughout the United
States the people are discontented and
angry at the control of the bosses.
Mr. Pinchot did not get excited, but
dealt calmly with his subject. He
seemed to take considerable pride in
stating that some 20 years ago he was
shown list of ten Vermonters who
were slated to be elected governors.
Too much exploitation by the people
by the business interests and distrust
of the Payne -Aldrich tariff bill are
strong reasons Mr.. Pinchot urged for
supporting the progressive ticket. 1T IS

outs" said the speaker, "but gues-
ton of whether the people shall be al

He said he was asking nothing for
Colonel Roosevelt, as there was abso-
lutely nothing in il for Roosevelt. He
placed Taft with the dead issues and
