The President dined as usual at the White House at 7 o ’clock with his daughters and afterward drove to his bride’s home, about a mile from the executive mansion. A cold, driving rain, which swept the city all day, cleared off at sunset and the evening was cool and pleasant.

One o f the cars, carrying IS passen gers, plunged into the river and five men were killed and 10 injured. The other car, that had reached the end of the bridge, slid back until the rear end rested on the river bed. The two pas sengers and crew escaped uninjured. A seven-ton steel beam was knocked off by the top of the car that fe ll into the river and fell lengthwise o f the car on the seats, holding the passengers on that side under the water for several hours. The passengers on the other side of the car, after being submerged, crawled up the twiated girders o f the wrecked bridge and were rescued.

A t least a dozen of the delegates intend to desert before they make themselves ridicu lous. “ Eight Norwegian and Swedish re porters came aboard at Christiana and were immediately received privately by Mr. Ford and LouiB P. Ixichner, secretary of the International Peace Society. “ Afterward the stage was set in the second-class salon to hoodwink the Scandinavian newspaper representa tives into the belief that there was a harmonious crowd o f innocent merry makers aboard. A resolution was unanimously adopted pledging the party to all efforts to end the war. “ This was the first motion passed without a dissenting vote since the party sailed. The newspaper men seemed puzzled as to how the reported lack of harmony originated. They were soon enlightened. “ Up sprang S. S. McClure.
