Tried to Run Over Victim

According to particulars thus ia"
learned the three Benner boys, Sid .
ney, Clifford and George, all OF whom
are employed at the National Home
at Togus, had finished their days
work Saturday and were on their way
to their home at about O'Clock IN
the evening and when near the Cor
ham house on the Mud Mills road an
automobile came up behind them. AS
the three young men stepped out 20
the side of the road to let the auto
mobile pass someone in the car struck
Sidney With a fence stake, the dow
catching him on the right side OF the
law and neck with such force that 1t
fel!ed him to the ground and rendered
him unconscious.
The other boys were also hit but
esca ped serious injury. 1t is said that
the same car, with lights extinguish-
cd came back Il few minutes after
ward. and that the dryer attempted
to run over young Benner as he lay
unconscious in the road, but that one
Of his brothers pulled him out OF the
way. After being taken home Sidney
Benner vas unconscious for an hour
and a half and bled freely from the
mouth.
Deputy Sheriff Bullock was notified
of the outrage and has been at work
all day on the case. which at present
is a blind one. 1t is known that the
car which overlook the young men on
the road was a Ford. but beyond that
there is little to work on.

New York, Nov. Twelve dead
eight women and four men-and one
missing, summed up today the casual
ties due to the fire in the Diamond fac
tory building in the williamsburg Sec
ton Of Brooklyn yesterday. All but
ono Of the bodies recovered have been
identified. After working all night in
the ruins, police and firemen late to-
day had narrowed the search down to
the basement, which was filled with
water. To determine if any bodies were
there, two fire engines were set to
work pumping the cellar clear, a task
which will probably require the great
err part Of the night.

Germans claim to be advancing all along
river, which has been crossed at some
points. In their advance they are pick
ing up prisoners, guns and war material.
Montenegro Bravery
The Montenegrins, like their Serbian
allies, are fighting stubbornly in defence
Of their country and report that they
have repulsed an attempt by the Aus
TRANS to cross their border from Herr
govina and captured four guns, a guam
tity of supplies and few men. They
also claim success over the Austrians in
the Sanjak (Novipazar, where they cap
tured four more field guns and several
hundred men. In the south the French
are reported to be over the Bulgarian
frontier, where they have taken several
villages.
1t would appear, therefore. that the
Central Powers, who have obtained their
initial objective, the opening Of the road
to Sofia and Constantinople. have con-
siderable fighting ahead of them If Ser
bia is to be overwhelmed.
The weather, which has turned wintery,
has not interfered with the Russian Of
fensive along the eastern front. The
Russians have extended their attacks to
the district west of Riga and thence to
the south of Dvinsk. They are keeping
the Germans on the move and the latter
admit that in the region of Lake Sventen
the Russians penetrated their lines.
The battles continue, although neither
side is making any material progress.
The Russians claim to have taken 5000
prisoners by a thrust across the Stripa,
while the Germans declare that they have
captured 5000. The Italians continue their
offensive, but on the western front the
fighting consists only Of local engage
ments.

Silent Reverence

A similar scene never was witnessed
in the western world. The Emperor and
the Imperial shrine were silently wor-
shipped by his subjects. Although a
desire to avoid accident was a con-
trolling factor, one Of the chief rea-
sons for imposing silence upon the
multitude was a wish to maintain rev.
erence for the monarch as he arrived
in the city for the sacred coronation
rites. The Japanese viewpoint found
expression when the master Of cere-
monies said to the Americans and 9TH
er foreigners who were assigned to
vantage points in the palace grounds,
when the Shrine nd the Emperor pass
please raise your hats and bow, but
do not cheer
The Procession
A gray autumn day added to the
solemnity of the scene when the pro-
cession entered the palace grounds in
a purely Japanese setting. Hundreds
bent with years, stood beside soldiers,
reservists and thousands Of delegates
from the societies Of the Empire. Wait
ing at the palace portal were two
score court ladies gowned in ancient
robes Of white and scarlet. The cor
tege was in all respects similar to the
one which passed through Toxic. The
shrine, hidden behind curtains Of pur-
pie, gold and red borne on the shout
ders of yellow-kimmonoed villagers
was preceded by priests afoot and fol-
lowed by the Emperor in the royal
gold coach.
AS the cortege reached the palace
gates, the notes Of bugle broke the
stiffness and informed the multitude
that the Sacred mirror >was enshrined.
Then the reverent restraint was brok-
en- and the immense throngs gave
themselves up to gayety, fireworks and
Examinations.

and the whole court arrived here, from

Others May Die

Reports from the hospitals where Al
injured were taken after the fire
showed that less than 80 were detained
for further treatment, others having
been sent to their homes. Several of
those remaining, suffering from burns
and bruises are said to be in serious
condition and it is possible, hospitals
say, that more deaths may result. g.,
Fire Commissioner Adamson tonight
issued a statement in which he de-
clared the toll among the workers on
the fourth and fifth floors was due to
the fact that one of the two stairways
to the lower floors was closed by a
locked door on the third floor. The
victims were unable to get past this
door and were forced to crowd onto
fire escapes. as the second stairway
was cut off by flames between the first
and second floors.
Orders Ignored
Adamson's statement also points out
that the fire department had previously
issued a number of orders against the
building which were not complied with.
In my opinion" the statement con-
tinues, had the orders of the labor de-
partment for the fire-proofing of the
stairways been complied with there
would have been no loss of life. There
would have been no trapdoors and tho
stairs would have been protected so that
everyone might have escaped by the
stairs

Temperate, Says World

NEW YORK WORLD--On such a
showing of outrage as is here made
the terms of the American protest,
which are lawyer-like throughout,
must be regarded as exceedingly tenn
perate. To gain a military advantage
more or less important Great Britain
has become a grevious offender against
law, against its own cherished prin-
ciples. against several of the small ma
tions of Europe, which it has assumed
to champion. and against the best and
most powerful friend that it has
among the neutrals of the earth. 1t
has not killed Americans; it has killed
American rights. 1t has done more
than seize American property; it has
seized the opportunity thus wantonly
gained to extend its own trade
What Will Follow?
NEW YORKER STATS ZEITUNG:
"a very clear, able argument, free from
all sentimentality, businesslike, convinc-
ing. But 1t does not contain the slight
est hint as to what our government in
tends to do should Great Britain say in
answer: We are Of different opinion
and then proceed. without further ado,
to continue the practices, called Illegal
and unwarranted, to which the United
States can no longer submit. We shall
have to exercise patience, and wait to
see whether England will condescend to
instruct its officers to cease the law
less methods heretofore practiced.
Probably we shall be able to submit
bill for damages after the war. and that
seems to be the only purpose Of these

KITCHENER GOES EAST

While the Allies now can have little
hope of Greece aiding them in the de-
Tense of Serbia, the belief is still held
here that it is not too late to turn the
tables on the invaders. The departure
for the East of Lord Kitchener, after
BRAND, Gen. Gallieni, the war minis
ter, and Gen. Joffre, the commander
in chief Of the field forces, has given
confidence that the campaign is to be
carried on energetically by the man
who knows the East better than al
most anyone else.
