Thomas J. O'Connell, of this city, may be held Crimjnally responsible Tor the fatal automobile accident in which he figured the night before last on the road near Momaueuin, accord ing to Coroner Kenneth Wynne.

 EXaminati ton yesterday revealed eVi- dence tending to show that O'Connell was driving at an excessive rate of speed and failed to slow down upon reaching the curve near which the ac- Cident occurred, it is said.

The Finnegan car was hurled oyer a four foot embankment and all the occupants were thrown about the pavement and the nearby lot.

Paris. Aug. 22.-The supreme council of the peace conference cX- poets to hear of the resignation of Archduke Joseph as head of the Hun garian government within few days. Apparently the council is of the Opln- ion that it is not necessary to take any more drastic steps than those outlined in the instructions sent to the inter- allied military mission in Budapest on Tuesday or Wednesday for delivery to the Hungarian government.
 In the instructions, the council set forth it did not regard the government of Archduke Joseph as in any sense d popular one and declared it would Tot deal with it.
 Herbert C. Hoover, head of the in ternational relief organization, who has returned from a trip to Central Europe, knew of these instructions when he appeared before the cou0 vesterday and believed them to be too mild to bring results. Mir. Hoover s frank statement was interpreted bN the American delegation as being in general accord with the attitude or the council, although the council IS at tempting to accomplish the downfall of Archduke Joseph by methods less heroic than those advocated by MT.
