Gould found the car was afire UNDER

In the tcnneap were Mrs. Gould, her
daughter. Mrs H. ID. johnson. and the
latter's little daughter Miriam, who
was ASLEEP. They quickly alighted and
lifted out the babe, SO no one was In
jured Without means at hand to fight
the fire the owner and passengers were
forced to stand idly by and watch the
car burn. OF the wooden parts only
two wheels were saved.

Runaway Team Wreck. ElsetroIisr

A spirited runaway in West state
street Wednesday evening created con.
siderable excitement and came near
resulting in serious damage as we'll as
endangering life. A country team
hitched to wagon started to run west
at 4 time when country rigs were leay-
ins the feed yards for horne. After a
short, spirited run the wagon coliided
witt, an electrolier In front, Of the
Marsh & Thurber garage, and the team
was brought to a. stop. The lamp
standard was broken off about two feet
from the ground, and the globe was
shattered.
There was number of people in the
street at the time, and had not the COL
lision with the lamp post occurred the
results might have been more serious.
The name of the driver was not learn
ed. He was uninjured.

at Iowa City have ordered the erection
Of bleachers to seat 1000 people. This
action was taken because Of the great
demand for seats, the reserved seat

Many with Friends in Flood

Herald Office Kept Busy Answering In
quiries of the Worried
Ones.

| Great anxiety was caused in Washing
ton last night by the reports Of loss Of
life and damage to property that con-
OF Ohio, and the telephones in the office
Of The Washington Herald were kept
abuzz until early this morning by per-
sons who have relatives in the sections
affected. Several Capital families are
anxious for the safety of relatives. and
numerous businesses commercially in
terested in the Middle West are agitated
by the reports of losses by fire and flood.
One Of the anxious queries came from
Mrs. Frank Hume. of 1895 Massachusetts,
Avenue Northwest. Mrs. Hume has a
daughter Mrs. Thomas W. Cook, who is
now with her husband and their children
in Dayton. one OF the places where the
rigor Of the flood has been felt most
severely. Mrs. Hume has so far heard
nothing from her daughter.
J. P. Diesman. of i52 K Street North
west. called The Herald to try and learn
Of his sister. Mrs. Peter Centner, Of 1850
South Indiana Street. Hamilton Ohio, and
Robert Z. Mcnamara is trying TO get
word OF his brother. John P. Mcnamara.

Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Emerson. Of WASH

Columbus. and were prevented from get
ting from that place to Dayton. where
they had planned to visit friends. This
is according to a telegram received yes
terday by Rev. Roland Cotton Smith, rec
tor OF St Johns and father of Mrs. EN-
erson.
Grave fears are felt for the safety OF
the mother. three sisters, and a brother
of Milton =. Allies, vice president OF the
Riggs National Bank. They are now in
Sidney. Ohio, and so far nothing has
been heard of them.

Stand ON CHINA
Wins APPROVAL
Presidents Attitude on Six
power Loan and Minister
ship Is Praised.
MISSIONARIES PAY CALL
President Urges Them to Cable John
r. Mott to Accept Tender
of Office.

A number OF missionaries to China
called upon President Wilson yesterday
TO congratulate him on the policy Of his
administration toward China as defined
IN his statement refusing to ask Ameri-
can bankers to participate in the pro-
posed six-power loan to the new re-
public
These missionaries also expressed to
the President their approval OF his ten
DER OF the Chinese mission to John R
Mott, the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation worker. who has been SO active
in the Chinese field. The tender Of this
post to Mr.. Mott, the missionaries de-
clared. had been the source of great
qualification to the whole missionary
body az work in China, all Of whom. II
was stated. are convinced that Mott
is the type OF man best fitted to repre-
sent American interests in China, and
further to cement the friendship already
existing between the two countries.
The fact that President Wilson had
selected Mr.. Mott for Minister to China,
was pointed to by the missionaries as
indication that this administration ap-
preciates the part Christianity has taken
In the development of the newly awak-
ened people.
The hope was expressed that II it is
found impossible TO secure the services
OF Mr.. Mott. every effort will be made
by the President to secure for the po-
sition some other man who is prepared
from long experience in China and a
comprehensive knowledge OF her prob
lens to meet the exigencies OF the pres
ent complicated situation there.
President Plea<ed.
The President expressed his gratifca-
tion when his selection of Mr.. Mott for
the Ministership was approved He sug-
gested that his visitors as a body send
a Cablegram 10 Mr.. Mott urging him
TO accept the appointment. The Presi-
dent said he was extremely anxious
to have Mr.. Mott become Minister to
China and that he was yet hopeful that
he might accept the post. The mission
aries promised TO send the Cablegran.
Among the missionaries who called
upon the President were Lacy /. Moffett.
