near Florence, died last evening at
the Lord Lister hospital as the re-
suit OF injuries received when q
northbound Sherman avenue car
struck the wagon in which he was
riding at Capitol avenue and Four
teenth street at $50 o'clock, throw
ing him to the pavement and causing
conclusion Of the brain and severe
decorations Of the scalp, which, to-
gether with his advanced age Of "a
years, made it impossible for him to
withstand the shock.
Conductor H. w. Schulz and Mo-
torman R. E. Abbott were In charge
of the car, which did not stop to see
what damage had been done.

DANISH TREATY IS
GIVEN TO PUBLIC
Senator Stone Demands In
quiry as to How oonfiden.
tial Information Leaked.
WILL RAT1FY IT SOON

Washington, Aug. l0.-lnvestiga-
ton of the means by which conf
dental copy Of the treaty under
which the United States would &C
quire the Danish West Indies for $25,-
100000 became public, was demanded
in the senate today by Senator Stone,
chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee.
An abstract of the treaty published
this morning is believed to have been
made from one OF twenty-five num-
bered copies sent to the senate Tues
day by the State department, with a
letter transmitting a request OF the
Danish government that the terms OF
the convention be withheld until the
two governments agreed to promul-
gate them. e..
The departments communication
reached the senate in executive SEES
sion Tuesday and was referred to the
foreign relations committee. The
treaty probably will be considered by
the committee early next week and
the administration is confident that it
will be ratified before the end of this
session OF congress. -.
1T is hard for me to believe" said
Senator Stone, that any senator Of
the United States would give this
treaty to the public under the circum-
stances. Every senator has a right
to a copy and to go to the executive
clerk and get it. If any senator did,
he knows where it has gone. But if
he exposed it to the public, he did a
dishonorable act and ought to be dis
ciplined by the senate"
Senator Stone declared he thought
the body of correspondents in the
senate press gallery would not resort
to dishonorable methods in the ac-
QUESTION Of news.

lon on wines containing from "A to

On champagne and sparkling wines
the committee retained the house pro-
posal Of a Scent tax on each half
pint, but increased the proposed tax

reach a conclusion on munitions
statistics and will resume delibera-

TANK OF OIL
HAS COME
And is Being Put Down By
City On Some Streets.

DR.. F. H. Bassett, Commissioner of
Works, has received a 60OO-gallon
tank of road oil for use on such
streets as citizens desire to use oil in
stead of water. The oil costs z cents
a gallon and the estimated cost put
down, DR.. Bassett says will be about
z cents to each side of the street.
The city, he says will pay one-third
of the cost, property owners to pay
two-thirds. On South Main, from
18th to 18th streets, the territory
has been sprinkled with water the
last ten days, no one seeming to
know that the oil was available. The
rest of South Main, South Virginia
and Alumnae Avenue have contract
ed for water sprinkling.
DR.. Bassett says he win canvass
the territory and if majority of the
property owners want oil, he will
put it down from 18th to 18th. He
can be seen about other territory
where oil may be wanted.

Whitening Fire Of French
Stops Germans at Almost
Every Point on Front.
VERDUNASLAUGHTERPEN
Kaiser Determined to Risk
His Fate on Outcome in
France.

London, May 26.-The battle of
Verdun continues undated. On both
sides of the Meuse river, northeast
and northwest of the fortress, the Ger
mans are keeping up their unprece-
dented bombardments and vicious in
fantry attacks while the French are
replying to the German guns virtually
shot for shot and under a whitening
fire holding the Germans at almost
every point.
One more gain, however, has been
made by the Germans. After recap
turing Fort Douaumont and taking
trenches south and southwest of the
fort, the Germans to the west have
occupied a section of French trenches
after a series of attacks in all of which
they were repulsed with heavy casu-
allies except the one where they pen
etrated the French lines.
Around Douaumont, a heavy artille-
ry duel is in progress and northwest
of Verdun the Germans have increas-
ed their artillery fire against the
French on Hill 304, probably prepar-
atory to another infantry attack for
possession of this much fought for
vantage point.
A German attack against the Rus
slams west of Dalan Island gave them
momentarily the possession of Rus
sian advanced trench, a counter at
tack by the Russians, dislodging the
! invaders.
| ITALIANS REPULSE ATTACKS.
An attempt by the Teutons to al
vance against the Russians north of
Olyka station, southeast of Trent and
across the border in Italy, Rome re-
ports the repulse of Austrian attacks
and the throwing back of the attack
ers in disorder
In the Astico-Piano region, the Ital-
ians are replying effectively to the
bombardment of the Austrians. In the
Asigo-Sugana valley district the situa-
ton is unchanged.
Constantinople reports that the
Turks have stopped the advance Of the
Russians in the region of Kasr-I-Shi-
rim and also defeated Russian detach-
ments at Sulamanish, north of KaSr-I-
Shirin.
Unofficial advices from Athens say
that heavy bombardment and infan-
try actions have taken place from Dor
ran to Gievgeli on the Macedonian
front and that entente allies have
dropped bombs on several towns in
Serbia, held by the Teuton allies.
