Nam Killed in Jersey

Hazel Donohuc, twenty years old OF So
Hull Avenue, the Bronx. was killed b.
lightning at Beach 116th Street, Rock
away Beach, yesterday. Her mother,
Mrs. Mary Donohue, had left the water

The young woman responded with
wave of tho hand and started to run
toward her mother. She had not gona
ten feet when she was fellsd by the
lightning. Her mother tainted. About
1900 bathers were on the beach or
hurrying for shelter at the time.
The shower was q sharp one in many
parts of Queens. Hail fell in Jamaica
and the wind uprooted telegraph poles
aud trees in the vicinity. Lightning
struck barn in Corona, and four
horses, COW and goat belonging to
Mrs Mary Weiners were burned to
death

FAIL TO RECEIVE
REPLY FROM JAPS

WASHINGTON. July Il. The
state department, so far as could be
learned Sunday night had received
no word from Toxic in response to
the informal explanation made Fri
day as 10 the probable scope Of the
conference proposed by Pres't Hard
ing 70 discuss far eastern questions.
Officials generally believed several
days might elapse before any re-
Spouse would be received. and this
belief apparently was strengthened
Sunday night after reading OF As
ISOLATED Press dispatches from Toxic
stating that japanese opinion, both
public and private. was greatly di-
vided on the issues involved in the
proposed conference Il was openly
stated that no disposition existed to
seek a hurried reply from the Toxic
government and IL likewise was made
plain that a confident belief existed
that Japan finally would join Great
Britain. France, Italy and China in
acce pting full participation in the
discussions. Further than that Of
ficials declined 10 comment on the
latest Toxic dispatches.
Make Suggestions.
Suggestions have been made. II
was learned. that some OF the other
powers, notably Belgium and the
Netherlands possess interests having
relations to the proposed conference
on limitat ton Of ornaments and on
far eastern problems. These sug-
gestions have been met. II is under
stood. with the explanation that
while 1t has appeared inadvisable to
include other than the FIVE large
powers-and China in case Of the
latter conference-in the full discus
sions, there will be no disposition to
close the door 10 the smaller powers
when questions affecting them are up
for discussion. This explanation is
understood TO stand for Latin-Amer-
lean nations as we'll as for European
nations excepting. Of course, Italy
and France.
