DISCOVERS BODY
OF SEH| AFLOAT
IN BEACH pool
Attendant at Hawkins Pond
Finds Socialist Worker|
When First Swimmers, Visit
Water This Morning.

The body Of Charles Sehi, q well,|
known young man who ran for mayor
on the Socialist ticket at the last city@
election, was found floating in Haw.'
kins' bathing pond north Of Glen MIL
ler park this morning.
An excellent swimmer, Sehi spent
the entire afternoon and evening in|
swimming. He came to the pond alone
and his absence was not noticed be-
cause OF the great number OF swim
mers there yesterday.
Find His Clothes.
When girls from the Chautauqua ar
rived at the pond at o'clock this
morning for morning plunge. Charlesi
Parker, owner of the place, foundl
Seht's valuables. He made an fnvesti-|
cation and found his clothing in q
locker.
Mr.. Parker stated that it is the first|
time he has not gone through all lock-
ers on closing up at night. Swimmers1
remained so late, and. the day hadl
been such a heavy one that only the
women's and a few of the mems lock-
ers were looked into for clothing Sehi
occupied a locker near the end Of a
short row which was not searched.
This accounts tot his absence not be-
ing noticed at the pond until today.
Sehi's mother and sister believed he
was staying with friends. AS he was
a man of regular habits, it was
thought unusual that he had not told,
them before leaving home. They were
worried about him and had just looked
into his room when the news Of his
death arrived. They were informed
Of the details by newspaper man.
Sehi's body was found slightly under
the surface between the end of a chute
and stationary raft in the center Of
the pond. It is thought he was seized
with paralytic cramp while he was
going down the chute and that he was
unable to bring himself to the sur
face The limbs were drawn and tho
body badly contorted.
Coroner Peirce stated today that the
/ death was due to accidental drowning.
He has not completed his examination.
but will investigate the cause of tho
accident

O'Clock in the afternoon. He swom un-
til about O'Clock when he went home.s
At Z O'Clock he returned and again
entered the water. He played strenu-
ously In the water and seemed to bel
in excellent physical condition. He,
was one of the bert swimmers ut the
place and spent much Of his spare
time there. swimming three or four
evenings each week and usually on
Sunday afternoons.

EA[L CUTS yCAlP
WHEN KLUTE RIDES
INTO STREET ROPF
Barrier Across Thirteenth
Throws Coffin Plant En-
plOye on Head Against
Curb Requiring Operation.

Serious injuries to Fred G.. Klute,
334 South Fourteenth street, foreman
at Hutton's coffin factory, resulted
when Klute with his bicycle struck q
rope stretched across Thirteenth and
B street by the city street department.
An operation was necessary to the

conscious since the accident. He had
a good night last night and his con-
dition today was reported good.
The accident occurred at 4 o'clock
Saturday afternoon when Mr.. Klute
was coming home from work. Al
though riding his bicycle at only fair
speed, he was thrown head foremost
into the gutter, when he struck the
rope.
Witnesses assisted him home. Al
though he was badly cut and there
were serious injuries to his skull, he
refused assistance in walking up the
steps to his home. However, he call
ed a doctor for relief to his wounds
later.
Taken to Hospital.
BY Z o'clock he was taken to the
hospital. Alighting from the auto
mobile, he again refused to accept the
help of others but walked into the
hospital. He was taken Immediately

No fear is held that Mr. Klute will
not recover. His condition was SER
ious but he is already showing i'm
provement He will be kept at the
hospital indefinitely. When he reach
ed home Saturday afternoon after the
fall, he told his family that he did not
sea the rope and that he had struck
it direct blow.
The rope was stretched across Thir-
teenth street at this point in order
to prevent traffic from using the new
macadam which is not ready for heavy
travel. The thin rope is hardly visible
against the light colored macadam.

dispatch from Berlin by way of the
Nauen Germany and the Sayville, N.
Y. wireless station, today says:
Official announcement was made
here today that the German army,
commanded by Grand Duke Albrecht
of Wuertenburg, has defeated a

COMMANDED BY PAU
French War Office Admits
Taking of Luneville and
Presence of the Enemy in
Moselle Region.

respondent

PARIS, Aug 24.-Throwing back
the French forces commanded by
General Pau, three Bavarian army
corps have penetrated France, and
gained foothold on the Vezouze river
The war office admitted today that
Luneville had been taken by the Ger
mans, and they are overrunning the
entire southeastern portion of the de-
partment of Muerth- Eft Moselle.
Blamont is also in the hands of the
Bavarians, who are led by Crown
Prince Rupprecht, and Cyr is threat
ened. The wedge that the Germans
drove between the French forces that
invaded Lorraine, and those that took
the offensive in Alsace, has thus been
extended along the east side of the
Vosges mountains, necessitating the
withdrawal of the French troops that
occupied Donan and Saales.
Threaten Nancy.
The Bavarians thus far have con-
fined their attack to the weakest part
of the French frontier, and have made
no attempt to attack Nancy, tnOugn
that city is imperiled by the capture
of Loneville.
North of Longwy, German troops,
said to be commanded by Crown
Prince Frederick William, are advanc-
ing in strong force toward the French
frontier The Germans have also at
tackled Muelhausen again, and desper-
ate fighting has been going on there
since Sunday.
The situation in Belgium is being
anxiously watched by the war office. 1t
is reported here, but not confirmed,
that General Joffre, the French COM
mander-in-chief, and Field Marshal Sir
John French, the British commander.
have their headquarters either at Mezi-
eres or in the vicinity of that town,
which Is only thirteen miles from Sc
dan.
A dispatch from Ostend says that
the Germans failed to occupy that city
in force, but that the Uhlans who en-
tered the outskirts proceeded south
ward after ascertaining that there
were no Belgian troops there.

UNFRAMED SAYS

German Ambassador to the
United States Denies the
Wounding of Heir and Sui
eide of Won Emmich.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-"The Ger
man Crown Prince Frederick William
has not been wounded, nor did General
Won Emmich, who commanded the at
tack on Liege, commit suicide" said
Count Won Bernstorff, German am
bassador to the United States. Upon
his arrival here today on board the
Steamship Noordam, from Rotterdam.
Count Won Bernstorff, who talked
with unusual freedom for a diplomat,
whose country is at war, said further:
"Conditions in Germany are splen-
did. The whole nation from the
Kaiser to the poorest laborer, is stand
ing together to defend itself against
this unwarranted attack. That Ger
many will be victorious, l have per-
feet confidence. Already 100000
more have volunteered their services
than could have been called for.

my wife is with the Red Cross at
Munich. My son is with the Emper-
ors guard. My only regret is that I
was not able to stay, and fight myself.
All my secretaries have gone to the
front"
Asked about the attitude of Japan,
the ambassador said:
"The calling in of the yellow men
into an European quarrel shows that
the allies do not seem sure of the
outcome"
The Ambassador said that the Ger
man soldiers are fighting bravely and
that the report of the suicide of Gen.
Won Emmich probably arose from the
fact that he was wounded in the leg
during the performance of his duty at

SPAIN TO MAINTAIN
NEUTRAL POSITION
TBY LEASED WIRE1

MADRID, Aug. 24.-Owing to per-
sonal appeals made in the strongest
way by King Alfonso himself the lib
eral elements have receded their stand
in favor of Spanish Intervention in
the European war. It is stated that
after using his influence compromise
was reached by which the King
promised a policy OF friendly neu-
trality" as long as Spanish interests
were not injured. The liberals, in re-
turn, will recede from their attitude
urging an opening of the parliament
in which they hoped to force the gov
ernment to follow an aggressive policy
in favor of France.

NOTTS8POUO0Ut.J
, LONDON, Aug. 24.-This Is the
third day Of the mighty grapple south
west of Brussels between the French
and their British allies on one side
and the gigantic German army which
is beating with the fury Of an ava
lanche on the first line of the enemy.
At the time this dispatch was writ
ten nothing had come Of the direction
in which the tide of victory is flow
ing.
The flower Of the German army,
made up Of about 100000 first line
soldiers, supported by approximately
100000 reserves is engaged with a
force of about 100000 French and
probably 100000 English. Although
the invaders took the offensive, hurl-
Ing their colossal host in three COL
umns against the Franco-British lines,
the French and English troops are be-
ueved to be now on the aggressive.
According to the Ostend correspond
ent OF The Daily Mail, one German col
umn marched southwark toward Va
lenciennes by way Of Ninove, and
Grimmon, another proceeded by way
of Ninove and Lessines, and the third
pushed toward Hal, Braine-Lecomte,
and Mons.
Ashmead Bartlett, war correspond
ent for The Daily Telegraph, says that
the forces Of the allies have been
formed in a rough triangular position.
He advanced the theory that the Ger
mans might try to drive through one
side of the triangle by brute force.
Such a movement, however, would be
attended by an appalling loss Of life.
