Wrecked in Crash

Five young men drove south on the
Roslyn Road yesterday noon in a
limousine that was hitting a pace con-
siderably faster than such churchgo-
ing vehicles generally attain in that
neighborhood of country estates. At
Albertson Station, opposite the estate
of George Eastman, an attorney, the
big car veered and hit a telephone pole.
The glistening body was torn from
the chassis and the occupants were
fuEg broadcast. Three Of the men
picked themselves up and aided in
carrying their two companions into Mr..
Eastman's house.
One of the two, they said, was
Brown" and the other Daniel Martin.
Both were about twenty years old and
unconscious. Two physicians exam
ined them and found Brown" was
dead. Martin had fractured skull.

said one of the three, none Of whom
had volunteered his name.
A moment later the sound of whir-
ring motor brought Mr.. Eastman to his
window. He was just in time to see
the relic of the limousine-only chas-
sis, front seat and mood remaining
tearing northward, the direction from
which it had come
Two hours later the abandoned car
was discovered at Plandome, five miles
away. 1t belonged to Frederic Win

After hearing of the accident last
night he telephoned to the housekeeper
of his country home, who told him
James Moore. his chauffeur, had taken
the car out on Saturday and had not
returned with it.
Martin was taken TO Nassau Hospi-
tai. at Mineola, where he died soon
after o'clock. Mrs. Frank b. Yer
milya, of lO4 West i30th Street, an
aunt, and Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Martin,
aunt and uncle, called at the hospital,
but were not there when he died. Mr..
Vermilya, lawyer, said he knew little
of his nephew, who was an orphan, and
had no idea where he lived. Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin left no address at the hos
pital.

ner, who is also an undertaken, took
charge of Browns" body. He made a
trip TO New York and came back with

BALL AT INAUGURAL
WON BY MRS. WILSON
Washington Rejoices at News
She Changed Husbands Mind

tFrom The Jrbune bureau'I
Washington, Nov. 12.-President Will
sons opposition to the old custom OF
holding an inaugural ball has been
overcome, it is stated here on gooo
authority, by Mrs. Wilson. She enjoys
functions of that kind, and there is JOY
in Washington at the news.
Four years ago President wilson
started his career Of precedent break
ing by calling off the inaugural ball, a
step which was not appreciated here al
all. The ball has always been big
money maker and resulted normally IN
reimbursing those who had contributed
to the decorations and other expenses
incidental to the inauguration.
The information that there is to be
ball this year comes from n friend OF
Mrs. Wilson.

Villa Bandits Reported

ZapatistaS Massacre 100
Men, Women and
Children
tFron The Tribune Bureau. J


Washington. Nov. 12.-The Mexican
situation is again threatening. Cen
eral Carranza has reiterated his de-
mand for the withdrawal Of the Ameri-
can troops now in Mexico. The new de-
nand is now on the way to Carranza's
commissioners at the Atlantic City con-
ference. Unless it is needed, according
to reliable information obtained by The
Tribune to-day, the Mexican commits
sioners will be instructed to withdraw
Immediately.
The situation was further compli-
Gated to-day by reports received at the
State Department of the outbreak OF
serious disturbances in Mexico. The
Carranza authorities are reported ar
resting American citizens, whom they
charge with being secret agents of the
American army; Villa bandits are loot
ing right and left and are said to be
marching now against the expedition
airy forces; and Zapatistas have con-
tnued their outrages. massacring
scores of men, women and children.
officials hold that the arrest of Amer
leans proves the insincerty of the First
proves the insincerity Of the First
Chiefs pledges, and that the continued
depredations Of villa and Zapata
bandits show that the de facto govern
ment by no means has the situation IN
hand. but still needs the presence OF
the American troops.
Waited for Election
Carranza bases his new demand for
the withdrawal of the expeditionary
forces on the warning given to the
State Department when the commission
first met, that no delay would be toler-
ated after the Presidential election.
He agreed, it is declared, to the COM
mission plan, on the understanding that
IL was the only practicable way to post
none action on the withdrawal of the
American forces during the Presiden-
tial campaign. The purpose of the COM
mission. according to this information,
was TO prevent rather than to further
n settlement of the Mexican question.
1t is admitted in high official quar-
ters that the commission, after two
months of sessions, has accomplished
literally nothing toward an agreement
with Carranza. The Mexican commits
sioners, as a body, have refused stead
fastly TO discuss Mexico's internal al,
fairs, and tho Americans have declined
TO talk about the international situa-
tion created by the presence Of Ameri-
can troops in Mexico.
Stands on His Rights
General Carranza still stands on his
original contention that the United
States is infringing on Mexican SOW
ereignty, and that this situation cam
not be tolerated in state of peace:
lie demands, therefore, that the United
States grant full recognition of Mexi-
can sovereignty or cease pretensions
of friendship for his government.
State Department officials will not
discuss this governments probable ac-
tion. Because of the election, II is
understood, no decision has been
reached. IL is expected that President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing will con-
fer about it Tomorrow.

Paris, Nov. 12.-The first details OF
tho sinking Of the American steamship
Columbian, Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Line, off Cape Ortegal, Spain, on No
vember 8, were received here to-day in
a wireless dispatch from Madrid.
The Columbian was sunk by Ger
man submarine, according TO this IN
formation. The steamer encountered
the U-boat during a violent storm on
November 6, two days before she was
torpedoed. The Columbian was COM
PEELED by the submersible to stop. The
crew was then ordered to disembark.
The tempest at this time was so severe,
however, that this was found to be I'M
possible.
The submarine then compelled the
Columbian to lie under surveillance for
two days, until the storm subsidized.
Members of the Columbian's crew who
were landed at Corunna. Spain, tell the
most graphic stories Of their wait un'
der the eyes of the submarine during
the forty-eight hours when the gale
was at it's height.
Feared Sudden Attack
Expecting. to be sent to the bottom
any moment, they waited through the
long hours without sleep. The subma-
rine had warned them that any attempt
to escape would bring instant attack.
No such effort was thought Of, but the
men were kept in state of constant
nervous tension, believing that the SUBJ
marine might become tired Of waiting
and launch torpedo into the ships
hull.
Day and night they kept watch, but
rarely was the captor seen. The mer

believe IL was submerged and riding
out the gale hundreds of feet below
them, but they dared not attempt es-
cape. The lifeboats were kept ready
for instant launching.
All this time, until the storm abated
and the submarine appeared on the sur
face two days after the steamer was
first halted, not single call for help

less. IL was not until November 8. in
the afternoon, that the British Admir-
atty picked up o S calls, saying that
the Columbian was being shelled by a
submarine.
- Ships Silence a Mystery
This point has not yet been cleared
up, and is puzzling shipping circles
here more than any phase of the re-
markable adventure. II is assumed
that the submarine warned the Colum-
bian that any effort TO bring help
would speedily result in the sinking Of
the ship.
How the U-boat kept her captive un-
der strict surveillance during those
two days is a mystery here. After the
storm had subsided the submarine ap-
peared and ordered the crew to take
to the boats. according to the advices
from Madrid. 1t was then, it is be-
lieved, that the wireless S o s was
sent out from the Columbian. possibly
because the submarine threat of sink
ing no longer had restraining effect.
As soon as the men abandoned the ves-
sci the submarine sank her. She sank
almost Immediately. IL is stated. The
men were picked up later and landed
safely at Corunna.
