THROWN AGAINST TREE.
Mrs. H. Cortez Bruised and Cut--Her
Husband Was More Fortunate

The after result of a spectacular run
away in South Barre late yesterday aft
ernoon finds Mrs III. Cortez confined to
| her apartments on Ayerill street to-day
with badly bruised lower limb and
cuts about the body, while her husband,
although able to be out of doors, is still
nursing a number of bruises which be
received. Mr. Cortez, who with his wife
recently came here from Philadelphia, is
employed by the Bailey Music Co. of
Burlington, and when the accident oe-
CURED the couple were returning from
a business trip to AVilliamstown.
Near the Central Vermont crossing,
south of d. V. Camps farm, the horse
gave sudden start and was presently
hitting terrific pace down the road.
Whether a broken rein, discovered when
Mr.. Cortez tried to control the horse,
was severed as the horse jumped, or
whether the break occurred before, is a
matter for conjecture. The Williams
town branch train was returning to
Barre. and the team had just passed ain
automobile; but to neither of these mov-
ing conveyanees is attributed the horses
actions. With but a single line in use,
Mr. Cortez was unable to do much in the
way of staying the animals mad flight.
Once he attempted to rein the horse to
a quick stop and in pulling on the line
he guided the steed out of the highway.
The carriage, top buggy, collided with
a tree, and the horse, clearing the vehi-
Gle. continued its course.
Both occupants were thrown to the
ground. Mrs. Cortez landed against the
tree, and for the time being she feared
that she had disloeated hip. Although
keenly from numerous bruises,
Mr.. Cortez managed to reach his feet
md 90 to the assistance of his wife.
About that time Alderman A. E. Bruce
.ame along in an automobile and took
he couple to the home of George L.
Norris, where they have an apartment.
Dr. William Mcfarland, who was called.
reated the injured people. Mrs. Cortez
will not be able to be about for several
lays.
The horse belonged to one of the local
iveries and steered straight for his
iome stall after the spilling. Stable at
aches went to South Barre last night
nd towed in considerably damaged
arriage.

their home and within 10 rods of some
houses located near the bank of the riv-
er.
Nobody saw the drowning. so far as
known, and nothing was known of it un-
til the failure of the boys to return
home by o'clock last evening caused a
search to be instituted. The search led
to the river but it was several hours be-
fore the first body was recovered in
about 10 feet of water The discovery
OF that body made it almost certain that
the other would be found in the river.

was fruitless until ) o'clock this morn
ing, when the second body was located
and brought to the surface.

ness. The testimony IL to be concluded
to-day with the evidence of Barthou and
Nine. Bertha Gueydan, the first wife of
Caillaux.

on Nine. Caillaux. She felt exhausted
and i'll but showed strong determine
tion to face the ordeal with calmness.
The testimony OF the first three wit
nesses to-day concerned the private let
ters which the defense seeks to show
Calmette intended to publish. CASTOR

murdered editor, testified that the scien-
tist, Paul Painleye, who yesterday said
Dreyfus told him that Figaro was going
to publish number of private letters
must have misunderstood him. He re-
ferred to the Fabre report on the Re-
,hette swindle and knew nothing of pri-
vate letters.
The rapid succession of witnesses was
Interrupted by conformation of Dreyfus
ind Painleve, both Of whom maintained
.he accuracy of their depositions with
considerable heat. The Judge ended the

PROTRACTED SESSION
ON HOME RULE
Was Held To-day, After Which Premier
Asquith Had 1o-Minute Session
with King.

London July 23.-To-day's session Of
the conference of political leaders, called
together by the king, in an effort to
bring about solution of the home rule
difficulty, was more protracted than pre-
vious ones. 1t will be continued tomor-
row. After adjournment to-day, Pre-
mier Asquith had an audience for 10
minutes with the king.
Sir Edward Carson. it is understood,
stands out for the complete exclusion of
six counties in Ulster from the operation
of the home rule bill, including Ferma
nagh and Tyrone, while John Redmond
declines as firmly to go beyond the con-
cessions Premier Asquith already has
made in permitting county referendums
and unless some way in which difficulty
is discovered at the 18th hour it is be-
lieved that Premier Asquith to-day will
be obliged to announce the failure of the
conference.
Premier Asquith's assurances to the
Parliament Yesterday, assuming full re-
sponsibility for the kings speech and de-
claring that no constitutional precedent
had been contravened, allayed much of
the angry feeling among the liberals,
or at least transferred it from the king
to the premier himself.
Active negotiations are proceeding out
side of Buckingham palace between the
party leaders. Premier Asquith had an
interview last night with Lord Lans-
downe and Andrew Bonarlaw, the OPP
position leaders, between two separate
sittings of the cabinet.
All kinds of rumors are current, one
that Winston Churchill first lord of the
admiralty, representing the minority in |
the cabinet favoring the clean cut ex-
clusion of Ulster, had threatened to re-
signs another that the king will make |
another dramatic move at the confer |
ence and that speedy general election
has become inevitable.

New York Democrats Want Share OF
Patronage.

Washington, D. c., July 23.-Long
smouldering resentment of members of
the New York City delegation in the
House against what they term unfair
treatment accorded them by the admin
istration in the matter of political ap-
pointments eliminated last night by a
call by Representative Fitzgerald for
meeting of the 20 New York representa-
tives in his Office Monday ''to take some
decisive action regarding the situation" /"
Mr.. Fitzgerald issued a statement say.
ing the purpose of the gathering was to
arranged for presenting TO the president
certain facts which have been ignored
by those protesting his confidence" He
said the New York members would 90 TO
the president as friends and were conf
dent they would be received in the same
spirit. that they believed that if they
met the president in person he would adj
just the situation with fairness and wis
dom.
New Yorkers, the statement declared,
had supported the administration and
had not "pestered either President Will
son or his advisers with demands for
patronage" and most of them are up for
reelection. Yet, it continued, "they
have been pictured as representatives OF
crooks, and grsfters and buccaneers; and
their slanderers profess to be the au-
thorized spokesmen of the administra-
tion. We are confident that such action
has not had the presidents approval
Postmaster General Burleson had
conference with the president yesterday
regarding a large number of New York
postofiice appointments still pending and

would be made shortly.
II is understood that the president has
