PRINCE AFRAID
 ID RIDE IN CAR
Gets His First Glimpse of an Auto and Decides Not to
 Risk His Royal Neck

An automobile party drove up In front of the royal palace in a Chinese province a few weeks ago and sent word in to the ruling prince that they would like to take him out for a ride. But this particular prince. 1t seems, had never seen an automobile before and was so terrified at the prospect of riding in one that he did not even express his regrets in person. He did his inspecting from safe distance and then sent out his card.
 The appearance of the car. accord ing to a Chung Mei News Agency dispatch from Picking, caused great excitement through the princes homo town.
 Commander Thomas Hutchins, American naval attache, and E. C., McPherson, manager of E. W. Frazer & Co.,, says the dispatch. have com pleted the round trip to Tungling, the Ming Eastern Tombs, by Automobile,

of their wits throughout the entire trip.
 Little trouble was encountered on the way. The three rivers that were crossed gave some trouble. one be- cause the bridge seemed ready to cave in at any minute, and the other two because there were no bridges at all, and the crossing had to be made by means of three boats lashed to- gether, with the car put on them laterally. At Dichow, the stone block in the center of the main gateway, against which the city gates are closed, was so high that the car could not pass over it, nor was there any other way around. So part of the city wall was appropriated and a runway built across the gteway over which the Dodge Brothers car crawled as easily as you please. Throughout. in spite Of the fact that 1t was necessary to go a great part of the way in low gear, the Dodge Brothers car ran beautifully, and proved itself entirely satisfactory"

7SEAMEN INJURED
IN CRASH LANDED
Confusion of Signals DecIar.
ed Cause of Collision Be-
tween Two Vessels.
By the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, December 17.-Seven
seamen injured in the collision be-
tween the liner Panama and the
United States destroyer Graham, off
Sea Girt, last night, arrived here
early today and were taken to the
naval hospital in Brooklyn.
The men. all of whom were of the
crew of the Graham, were: w. H.
Kelly. Raymond A. Smith, F. W.
Thompson, J. T. Wright, Benjamin
Neggison, F. A. Reed and ]. Brogers.
Kelly was the most seriously injured,
having suffered concussion of the
brain and scalds from a broken
steampipe. The others had received
severe bruises and lacerations, but
none of them was dangerously in
jured.
Signals Declared Confused.
The men were brought to this city
on board the Panama, which proceed
cd under her own steam after the
accident. With them were brought
fifty seamen, who were being taken
to Charleston on board the Graham
for distribution among various naval
stations in the southern states. The

boats Seneca and Gresham and the
tender Sandpiper. came into port sew
eral hours after the Panama arrived.
Confusion of signals was said by
the Graham's crew to have caused the
collision. There appeared to be mis-
understanding between the helmsmen
of tie two craft when they met off
Sea Girt shortly after dark last night,
and as asresult the Graham laid her
course across the bow of the Panama,
which was on her way to this city
from Cristobal. The Panama was not
seriously damaged, but the Graham
had a large hole torn in her port side
For time after the crash the ves-
sells clung together, and it was in
this period that the injured men and

From time to time during their

boxes being used are the ones which
formerly stood at the entrace gates
to the front grounds of the White
House during days of the last ad-

closed to the public.
Word recently reached Mrs Hard
