111 Life Every Bono in Victims'
BodJew Broken.
Los Angeles, Cal., June 21. With a
crah that splintered the lighter ve
hicle and hurled wreckage and vic
tims a hundred feet, a Santa Ana su
burban car of the Pacific Electric
trat-kH collided with an automobile at
Florenclta Park, last night, and
Sumuci Elmore, a wealthy Oregon sal
mon packer, and land owner of As
toria, Ore., was killed. A woman, said
to be a Mrs. Garrctson of Astoria, was
with Elmore In the motor car, and also
met with instant death. Nearly every
bone in the bodies of the two victims
was broken.
Elmore cume to Southern Califor
nia six months ago with his wife and
his daughter and took apartments at
a Pasadena hotel.
Mrs. Elmore was stricken with a
serious illness several weeks ago and
was not informed of the tragedy last
night. It was said that she was ton
weak to boar the 111 news.
Caught on Crossing.
The accident occurred nt a cross
ing which leads a wagon road over
the four track system connecting the
beach and other surrounding towns
with Los Angeles. According to sev
eral persons who saw the crash, El
more was driving behind two heavily
loaded wagons and was trying to pass
them an the suburban car, coining at
express train speed, neared the cross
ing. The wagons stopped at the track
graded hut Elmore never slackened
speed, evidently not realizing the dan
ger. The heavy suburban car, crowded
with passengers, hit the light motor
car, just behind the driver's Beat. The
passengers on the front end saw the
woman throw her arms about Elmore.
Mass of Splinters.
An Instant later the automobile was
a mass of flying splinters and wreck
age and after the car had been halt
ed and the crew, with some of the
passengers, had hurried back to the
spot, the battered mangled bodies of
the man and woman were found lay
ing amid the debris, 100 feet from
where the car and automobile cam
together.
Everj- effort t. further identify the
dead woman met with failure. The
manager of the fashionable hotel
where the El mores lived, denied hav
ing known her nnd Samuel Farmer,
of San Francisco, who is said to be
a nephew of Elmore, declined to say
anything, thought admitting he knew
who the woman was.

FIND DEN OF GERMAN
SPIES IN FRANCE
Paris. From Toul comes a story
telling how the police discovered a
den of German spies and arrested the
chief, a man named Joseph Muller.
Four months ngo M. Demangc. the
mayor of Menil-la-Tour, who is the
agent of St ChnrIVs Farm, situated In
the middle of Minorville Wood, ro
ocived an application from a German
who wanted to occupy the farm.
Terms were agreed upon, and the
German and his family took posses
sion of the farm. Soon German vis
itors began to arrive. Paying an un
expected visit one day, M. Demange
found a young German who seemed
111 at ease. "He Is my cousin,' de
clared the farmer. Evidently the
farmer had numerous relatives, for
fresh cousins arrived nearly every
day.
The truth is that the farm was
used ns a resort for German spies. The
police authorities were Informed and
a watch was kept. On the arrival of
two more "cousins," three detectives
and two gendarmes decided to take
action. Tiny rushed into the farm
yard and arrested Joseph Muller.
"Ah, we have gut you at last ' ex
claimed the detective inspector as he
passed handcuffs on Muller's wrists.
"We have been looking Tor you a long
time."
Muller's companion escaped, fol
lowed by the gendarmes. Tho fugitive
fired several shots at his pursuers,
and entering the wood, was lost. A
camera was found concealed In a
van. Muller recognized It as his at
St. Charles and the neighboring farm
formerly occupied by Muller, photo
graphs of the signaling batteries of
Hruley and Lucy fort nnd certain
plans were found. Muller confessed
that they belonged to him. He add
ed that his companion who had es
caped had other photographs and
plans in his possession. Muller, who
declared that he was a native of Lor
raine, also confessed that he was
working on behnlf of Germany.
SWEDEN IS STRONG
FOR PROHIBITION
Copenhagen. Whatever may he the
truth of the claim of the antl-prohibi-tionists
In the United States that the
prohibition war is subsiding, there Is
no doubt In the world as to how Swe
den stands on tho question.
A plebiscite was recently held in
the kingdom on the question of the
prohibition traffic through all Swe
den. The vote showed 1.700,000 for
prohibition and only 12. BOO against
almost unanimous. The Swedes
voted with knowledge, as the liquor
laws in the northern kingdom are
strictly enforced.
A memoir of the late Princess
Waldemar of Denmark is being writ
ten, and the book will be published at
Copenhagen. Princess Waldemar was
the only daughter of the Due and
Duchess de Chartres, and she was
married In October, 1885. being then
about 20. This memoir will deal
principally with her early life .In Eng
land and France.
The chief properties of wisdom are
to be mindful of things past, careful
of things present, and provident of
things to come.

Taft Cancels Proposed Trip to New
Haven In Order to Remain on
CongrcFMloiml Lid Thinks Senate
Will Write "Special Privilege"
Clause In it Muy Borrow "Big
Stick" to Secure Passage of Pet
Measure.
Washington, June 21. After sev
eral days spent in greasing the way
for the postal savings bank bill, the
measure Is still sticking on the slide

pleasure is so great that he cancelled
his proposed trip to New Haven and
announced he would sit tight on the
congressional lid as long as it Is ne
cessary to accomplish the passage of
a "satisfactory savings bank meas
ure." Taft feels pledged to support the
bill because a number of insurgents
supported the rule which made pos
sible the passage of the bill by the
bouse. He believes if it goes to' a
conference a "special privilege" pro
vision will be written in by the sen
ate and that the house will not accept
the amendment. It Is reported Taft
may borrow the "big stick" and use it
cm the rumored filibusters against the
bill. Senator Bailey and the reputed
leaders of the filibusters conferred
with the president today. When they
lift he said: "They must abandon
that bill or they will be here through
August. This is taken to mean that
a fight between the filibusters and
the president is impending.

ROBINSON CRUSOE DID
London. A Liverpool Robinson
Crusoe has just returned to the land
of his birth. Thirty-three years ago
Harry Rrower. then a small boy of
12. ran away from his home, and
went to sea as a cabin boy aboard a
tiny sailing vessel bound for the Pa
cific. Now he is returning home
wealthy, hoping perchance to find a
younger brother and sister alive whom
he -vaguely remembers as tiny chil
dren. All these long years he has liv
ed among the natives of the Island of
Honolulu, speaking their language
and living their life, supporting him
self in various ways, until now he has
forgotten his mother tongue almost
entirely. The art of writing English,
he curiously enough, has not forgot
ten. It is his fixed intention after
voting the land of his birth and
traveling around, seeing the world
l!.. left so long ago. in a year's time
t.. return to the Pacific, and spend
the rest of his life among the people
of his heart.
With the increase of the white pop
ulation of the Island as the years
went by, he, in company with this
adopted people, moved farther back
into the interior. He consequently
had very- little intercourse with the
whites. A year ago finding that he
had gathered together enough to al
low him to live in comfort for the
rest of his life without working, he
became filled with a desire to revisit
the land which he so vaguely remem
bered when a boy. Without wasting
any more time, he made arrange
ments to leave the land of his adop
tion for a time and visit England. A
few months ago he took ship for San
Francisco, then traveled by train
for the first time in his life to Van
couver. B. C. From that city he went
direct to Montreal by the Canadian
Pacific and took steamer for Liver
pool. COUPLE FAST FOR 28 !
