CoIored Man Killed in Wreck and
CoIored Woman Is Reported
To Be Dying.

James F'itzhugh colored, is dead and
Annie Minor. also colored. Is reported
dying at Emergency Hospital as re-
suit as a 10y ride in a stolen auto
mobile which ended late last night when
the machine overturned and caught fire
at Fourteenth and ID streets southwest.
The machine belonged to Edwin c.
Dutton, lawyer, of 3712 Morrison
street. Chevy Chase, who has an Of
flee in the Columbian building. 1t was
taken from in front of the Masonic
Temple at 7:30 last night, and Mr.. Dut-
ton reported the loss to the police at
II o'clock.
In the meantime the wreck on Four
teenth street had occurred, but the po-
lice did not connect the two circum-
sances as the license numbers were diff
ferent in each case. Mr. Dutton in
spected the wreck of the burned ma
chine today and positively identified II.
There were four persons in the ma
chine when 1t turned over. but the sec
ond couple, also colored, who were rid
ing in the rear seat, escaped with slight
injury. FitZhugh, who lived at 800 T
street northwest was driving the ma
chine and attempted to turn from Four
teenth street into the drive along the
edge of the tidal basin when the acci-
dent occurred. The Minor woman was
beside him and the two OF them were
covered with burning gasolcne and
caught beneath the top of the car.
Patrolnian John X. Calhoun, of the
Fourth precinct, was painfully burned
In dragging them from the wreck. He
rescued the woman first. rolling her
over on the ground and beating out the
flames with his hand. Hurrying to the
overturned car he dragged Fitzhugh
clear and repeated the process. but not
in time to save the life of the man,
who died ten hours later.
The machine was almost totally
wrecked. but Identification was made
positive by the engine number and the
initials, "E. c. D." on the doors. DR..
buttons license tag was No 1S02l. but
the tag on the machine when found was

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY
ISSUES URGENT CALL
War Conditions Have Cut Down Con-
tributions, while Greatly Eniarg-
Ing Demands Upon Society.

The American Bible Society uttcrs a
cry of financial distress. IL points out
its near approach TO it's centenary celc-
bration next year. and asks whether IL
is to enter on it's great Anniversary
crippled In work, and perhaps weighted
down with debt. 1t states that It must
have more money or there will be
fewer Bibles. It's receipts from jan
uary TO the end OF August fell off
$4,000 compared with last year
Yet i; says the demand for Bibles was
never 50 great as since the war began.
and since South America looked more
To North America for cooperation.
In its statement just issued. tie So
cicty refutes vigorously the prevailing
impression that II Is rich. y gift Of
100000 from Mrs. Russell Sage. and
gifts to go with II from the American
people put 81 900. COO into the socictys
treasury not long ago. but altogether
It's income from endowmcnts is $4,000
year; sum that would keep the so
ciety going at it's present rate about
two months. Sales from Bibles reach
about 100000 q year. but Bibles often
have 10 be scld at ioss. and sometimes
given away. else the reason for which
the society was founded and now exists
would tie defeated.
The society states that it must have
49, 900 before tho end OF the calendar
year. or curtail it's work and enter
upon its centennial year in crippled
fashion. Its Issue OF Bibles and Tcsta-
meuts last year reached 6.s653o3 vol
unles a total far III excess OF any pre-
v.ous year in its history. and the go
cicty declares that the world demand
for bibles was never so great az a, this
moment.
