FALLING OFF HORSE
TEDDY BREAKS RIB
Colonel Hurt by Slipping While
Getting on His Favorite
NInnnt

New York, Mey 27.-It became
known today that Col. Theodore
Roosevelt met with an accident last
Monday at his home at Sycamore
Hill when. as he was trying to mount
hore, he fell and broke a hib. The
discovery of the broken bones was
made by the colonels physician,
summoned when the twinges the
former President felt after the fall
convinced him that something more
than a wrench was the trouble.
The colonel was bandaged tightly
about the body and except for the
inconvenience and trifiing pain the
accident has caused him no trouble.
The interference with his activities
has been with his daily horseback
ride.
Col. Roosevelt met with the acci-
dent as he was about to throw his
leg over the saddle of his favorite
mount. His foot slipped and he
came down heavily on his side.

NOihiuk
Yorkville, May 25.-In an election
held here today, by vote of 124 to
80, out Of about 275 qualified vot-
ers, 1t was decided that in the future
the county seat of York county shall
be known as York" instead of
Yorkville.
The movement to change the name
of the town was first agitated rs
years ago, when 1t was defeated by
an overwhelming majority. 1t was
revived last fall and the Legislature
was asked to make the change by leg
islative enactment, but when the hill
sent down was amended so as TO pro-
vide that 1t should not become law
until ratified by the qualified voters
of the town 1t was withdrawn. The
next move was a petition alleged to
have been signed by a majority of
the freeholders asking the town
council to order an election to de-
eide the question. The election was
ordered and the result was as indi-
Gated.

ENGLAND IS READY
TO PAY FOR COTTON
u. S. Representative Not Pre-
pared to Make Definite Claims
THIS WILL DELAY ACTION,
Question Further Complicated by
Claims of Swedish
Consignees.

London, May 27.-The foreign
Office announced tonight that the
government had informed the rep
resentative of American cotton in
terests, whose shipments on seven
teen vessels have been purchased by
the government, that it was ready
and anxious to make payment at
once. The representative, however,
admitted his inability at present to
make any definite claim in respect
of any one of the cargoes of these
vessels, but he has undertaken to OBJ
tain the necessary information in or
der to present his claim as soon as
possible.
The representative Of the shippers
of cotton on another vessel has been
similarly informed of the govern
ment's readiness to make settlement,
but he also acknowledged he was
not at present in a position to put
forward his claim. Cargoes on six
other vessels are being dealt with
similarly.
whilst most anxious to satisfy
all claims as promptly as possible" )"
says the statement issued by the
foreign office, cit is obvious that the
process of arriving at speedy settle
ment is delayed by the necessity of
establishing the real ownership of
each consignment, and of ascertain
ing whether it has past from the
shipper to the consignee and who is
the right person to receive the pay
ment. The question is complicated
by the fact that Swedish consignees
of number of cargoes have institut-
ed proceedings here with the view
of preventing the purchase by the
government from American shippers
of cargoes, which, it is alleged, al
ready have been bought and paid for
by these Swedish consignees."

STEAMER NEBRASKAN
H|TBY MINE OR TORPEDO
American Freight Steamer Dam
aged Off Coast of Ireland.
NO LIVES WERE LOST.
Crew Left the Ship But Returned
and Took Her to Port for
Repairs.

Repairs.
Washington, May 26.-The course
of the United States government in
the case of the American steamship
Nebraskan, damaged off the Irish
coast, was undetermined tonight be-
cause officials were without definite
information as to whether the ship
was torpedoed or had struck a mine.
Messages from Ambassador Page
and Consul General Skinner at Lon
don today transmitted the report Of
the British admiralty that the yes
sci had been torpedoed but the cap
tain's report to his owners indicated
doubt as to whether the Nebras-
kan was hit by torpedo or mine.
In view OF the position the United
States has taken on the subject of
submarine activity in the war zone
and the delicacy of the situation with
Germany arising out of the Lusitania
disaster the Nebraskan details are
awaited with interest. Should it de-
velop clearly that she was torpedoed
without warning, an aggravating cir
cumstance will have been added TO
an already tense situation notwith-
standing the fact that no lives were
lost.
Germany in circular note to neu-
trail governments on May IL an
nounced that regret would be ex-
pressed and payment of damages
made without prize court proceedings
for all neutral vessels attacked by
mistake in the war zone. The Uni
ted States in it's note of May -
pointed out that expressions of re-
gret and offers of reparation in case
of the destruction of neutral ships
sunk by mistake, while they may
satisfy international obligation, if no
loss of life results, cannot Justify or
excuse practice the natural and
necessary effect of which is to sub
ject neutral nations and neutral per-
sons to new and immeasurable
risks"
Navy officers say it will be a diff
cult task to determine from an eX-
animation of the Nebraskan's hull
whether mine or torpedo struck
her. An investigation nevertheless
will be ordered when the ship reach
es port An inquiry by naval at
taches of the American embassy
when the American steamer Gulflight
reached port brought a report that
German submarine was responsible.
There have been intimations since
then, however, that Germany, in her
reply would deny responsibility for
the wrecking of the Gulfight.
So far as the state department is
informed, there is no British mine
field near where the Nebraskan was
struck.
The fact that the Nebraskan was
under charter to a British concern
partly American-owned prior to sail
ing on her return voyage, it was said
by officials, would not affect her
status. She carried no contraband
and was engaged in no hostile SER
vices, being bound for Newport News
to take on coal for the United States
navy to be carried as freight to San
Francisco.

FISHERMEN LOSE
LIVES IN STORM
Nine Men Drowned i'm Wreckage of
Fishing Craft Near
Charleston.

Charleston Special to The State,
May 27.-The heaviest storm that
veterans of the squadron state they
have ever experienced at sea swept
down unheralded out of the north
east upon scores of vessels of the
Charleston mosquito fleet fishing this
morning in scattered Gordon eX-
tending for some miles north and
south of the Charleston light vessel.
Big negro seamen in torn sou'west-
ers were this afternoon momentarily
tumbling out at their local landings
and reporting the loss in men--and
boats as great. Just what the blow
accomplished in the way of destruc-
zion can not be told until all have
come to port and the survivors
counted, but those who have already
come to shore state that five or six
boats have been sighted bottom up
between here and the light vessel,
and estimate the loss at a number
greater than this. The loss in human
life so far indicated is in the neigh
oornood of dozen, according to the
excited statements of the surviving
colored fishermen.
