wervrd Into a dlfeh nnd a second later
lien and machine were catapulted di
agonally across tlie road nnd Into a Held.
The men wci'' thrown clear ot the car.
hirh wns hurled high In fhe nlr. Its
Tall converted It into a tangled heap of
wreckage.
Bruce-Brown's skull was fractuicd. his
left leg was broken and he suffered
lnt rnal Injuries. The top of Seudalari's
skull was crushed, his right arm was
broken and his body was seriously

nfter the accident, having only partially
retrained consciousness for a few minutes.
Surgeons had trephined his sltull on both

Bruce-Brown, according to Bragg, met
death in a heroic but futile effort to keep
his swerving car on the comparatively
narrow roadway after the explosion ot
the rear tire.
Bragg declared that the course was
dangerously narrow. He asserted that
Bruce-Brown could have saved himself
tinder similar conditions on a wider road.

Warned on the course.
"The accident . was unavoidable," said
Mr Pardlngton. "nnd the track was in no

upset any machine traveling at that speed
tio matter how excellent the course."
Bruce-Brown hail just driven the fastest

CONGRESSMAN GREENE
RESIGNS EDITORSHIP
St. Albans. Sept. 30. Tho Messen
.jfor heads Its editorial column to-day
Vlth tho following announcement:
Frank L, Greene has resigned tho
Vlltorshlp of tho Messenger to take
iffoct October 1. The novspnper will
o Issued under tho direction of John
J. Cushlng, acting editor, until fur
hcr notice.
MRS. DODGE SEEKS PARDON.
Montpcllcr, Sept. 30. Governor John
A, Mead will arrive here Tuesday noon
n some tlmo In the afternoon will give
i hearing on the petition for pardon ot
Mrs. Dodge of Lunenburg, now In Statu
prison. Mrs, Dodge was convicted ill 1911
of killing a painter namrd Heath, who
fas at work In her house at Lunen
)urf,. Thero were some peculiar fea
lures about tho case and It Is claimed
.hat new evidence has developed that
vjll wnrrnnt a pardon. Sho will bo rep.
esented by the Hon. Porter H. Dale,
lenntor-clect from Essex county.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 3ft. The mobili
zation of the armies of Bulgaria, Sen-la
md Greece will probably mean imme
diate war, according to the belief held in
political circles litre. Tho nature of Tur
key's military activity tho last few days
Is taken to mean that sho Intends to
make war. In that case the Balkan
coalition has naturally forestalled her In
her endeavor to profit by the rapid con
centration of troops.
Thf opinion is held here that the ac
tion of the Balkan Sthtea has resulted
from the Inability of the powers to deal
with the situation. The cbnvcrsatlons
which the Russian foreign minister, M.
Sa.onoff, has had in London apparent
ly have been barren. It is understood
that' Russia has taken an adequate view
ot the crisis In the Balkans and has
proposed tho radical remedy of putting
Into effect nrtlclo 23 of the treaty of
Berlin, providing for the introduction in
the European provinces of Turkey n
statute giving a measure of self-government
under a provincial governor-general
controlled by tho powers.
The principal task of the powers, In
case hostilities actually break out, will
be to localize thlr scope, as Italy wai
forced to localize hers to a limited
area. Tne Immedlato danger depends
upon the possible action of Roumanra,
instigated by Austria-Hungary. Upon
Bussia virtually devolves thu burden
of keeping Austria and Roumania out
side the ropes. Confidence prevails
that the condition of tho Russian ar
maments Is now such that Russia will
be able to fulfill her mission. Upon
this belief the action of the Balkan
States Is doubtless based.
An imperial ukase Is published to-day
ailing to the colors the reservists In 22
dlstilcts In Poland as a test of mobiliza
tion. The call, it is calculated, applies to
221.IE0 men. The ukase states that the re
serves arc called simply to test the per
centage of arrivals nnd the time con
sumed, after which they may depart for
home.
An official note explains that the trial
mobilization was decided- upon this spring
and has no reference to the tense situa
tion in the near East.
London, Oct. 1. A Sofia despatch says
that tho mobilization raises the Bulgar
ian army to a strength of 400,000 men.
Martial law has been declared in the dis
tricts of Fhlllppopolls and Burgas and th
Sebranje has been con.oked In extraord
inary session for national Independence
day, Oct. 5.
BRLGRADE IS SEETHING.
Belgrade, Servia, Sept. 30. War prep
arations are being carried on with
fev.'i-lsh hnste. General mobilization of
tht Servian army has been ordered and
It Is expected will bo well under way
wltbln 24 hours. Tho publication of news
of military movements is forbidden.
According to newspaper reports the
Servian mlnliter to Turkey, Dr. Nena
fiovltch, haa left' Constantinople for Bel
grade. Belgrade Is seething with excitement.
The mobilization of the Bulgarian army
simultaneously with that of Servia has
added enthusiasm to the occasion.
Beverly. Mass., Sept. 'XI, President
Tuft heard to-day from Otto F. Stlfel,
a Taft leader In St. Louis, that Gover
nor Hadley of Missouri was now commit
ted to the Taft candidacy. The Presi
dent had been Informed late last night
by telephone nnd telegraph that Gover
nor Hadley had refused to endorse his
candidacy unless the President came out
in favor of presidential preference pri
maries and "unbossed" southern repre
sentation In republican convention. The
President refused to discuss these ques
tions over the telephone with Mr. Stlfel
and had nothing to say to-night about
Governor Dudley's attitude.
HADLEY REPEATS STATEMENT.
Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 20. In a
short statement to-night Governor Her
bert S. Hadley reiterated the Btand ho
took last night at St. Louis in regard
to the presidential race. The Governor
declared he had heard nothing from
Presidoi.t Taft. Ills statement follows:
"If President Taft will vigorously urge
the adoption of these two propositions,
the presidential primary and a chango
in southern lepresentation, I feel con
fident he will materially strengthen his
own and the party's cause before tho
American people. In view of tho occur
renccs of the Chicago convention and
the unquestioned public sentiment in
favor of both these reforms, the falluro
of the convention to provide tor a change
in tiic basis of southern representation
nnd to endorse presidential primaries
was in my opinion reactionary and inexcusable."

Syracuse. N. Y.. Oct. 1. This was
elimination day for many aspirants for
the gubernatorial nomination by the
democrntlf! State convention assembled
hcic. To-night Charles F. Murphy, lead
er of Tammany Hall, and those asso
ciated with him In control of the party
organization wero weighing nnd an
alyzing the qualifications ot fhreo men,
for party standard bearer. The three
men being strongly considered are Jus
tice Victor J Dowling of New York,
Martin H. Glynn of Albany, the con
vention's temporary chairman, and Con
gressman Win. Sulzer of New York.
Lute to-night a boom wus started for
former National Chairman Normnn E.
Mack ns u compromlso candidate.
Mr. Murphy and the leaders arc not
expected to decide upon the likely can
didate until the convention assembles for
its nominating session on Thursday. Mr.
Murphy says the. convention Is to be un
bossed nnd that every opportunity is to
be given to test the sentiment of tho
delegates concerning the candidates
whoso nurai'S have been strongly uiged.
Leader Murphy's closest advisers admit
ted to-night that the name ot Governor
DIx had been practically eliminated from
further consideration for rcnomlnatlon.
It was said that Mr. Murphy had found
that the opposition to the Governor had
come from too many quarters to be Ig
nored.
PARKER AND NOT O'GORMAN.
Mr. Murphy and the county leaders wero
jubilant to-night because of nn unexpect
ed victory In the selection of former
Judge Alton B. Parker for the conven
tion's permanent chairman over United
States Senator O'Gnrman whose name
has been put forward by the anti-organization
men.
Those seeking to deal a blow to Leader
Murphy and the State organization decid
ed to make an Issue over the proposal to
name Judge Parker for permanent presld
Ing officer. When the permanent organ!
zatlon committee met. Judge Parker's
name was presented by representatives of
the organization and then without prcvl
ous warning Delegate Frank II. Mott of
Jamestown named Senator O'Gorman
who is heie urging that a progressive
candidate be chosen nnd a progresslvo
platform b drafted In the Interest of Gov
ernor Wilson's presidential campaign.
Here wns a test of strength that
was unlimited for nnd one that might
have been avoided had Senator O'Gor
man had knowledge of what was go
Ing on. Lender Murphy, too, ht.d not
been fMtwarned and was away at a
country club playing golf, while sev
eral organization lea.iers were bury In
the resolutions cmrmittoj.
Delegate Mott hn.'lii'; precipitated a
contest, It was carried to lis conclusion
nnd tho roll call of the committor
showed 37 votes for Judge Parker, who
will bn recommended as. tho conven
tion's pormnnent chairman, and five
for Senator O'Gorman. The senat ..- de
clared that ills name had been us"ti
without his knnwledge or consent nnd
that ho himself had participated In a
conference recently which favored
Judge Parker's selection.
THREATEN FIGHT ON FLOOR.
E. A. Gerry, 39 Bcllcvuo street, Lowell,
Mass., express messenger for American
Express company, says; "The constant
Jolting on trains Is very hard on tho kid
neys. as all railroad men know, I suf
fered n kidney breakdown which did not
ir.end under the most skillful treatment
I had u dull pain over my htpa nnd back
so severn at times I could hardly work
1 started using Foley Kidney Pills and
right hero I say that thero Is nothing
equals them for prompt nnd lasting iBtf.
I am glad to say that now I am n strong,
well man and recommend Foley Kidney
The nntl-orgnnlzatlon men still con
tinued their opposition to tho selection
of Judge Parker, however, and to
night are considering a proposition of
making a fight against the commit
tee's choice on the conventloi floor. It
was said that Mayor John K. Sague
of Poughkeepslo might bo named as
Judge Parker's opponent for presiding
officer.
Congressman Sulzor's friends mado
nn active canvnss among the delegates
to-day, and to-night said they felt
reasonably confident of victory. Ti
Leader Murphy they urged that Mr
Sulzer be named for head of tho tic-
ket on tho ground that he was not
only strong In Now York city but that
he had a largo following up-State
where he has spoken on many occa
sions at county fairs an! other gatherings.
Thnso favoring tho candlJacy ot
Martin II. Glynn told Mr. Murphy thV.
Mr. Glynn's record as State comptnL
ler was one which to-day was pointed
to witli pride and ono which haJ gain
ed linn a statewide reputation. H
was further said that Ir. Glynn would
he nblo to mak a short and effcctlvo
campaign within the few wcoks that
now remain before election.
The party platform Is to be pro
gressive in spirit and It Is bald to bo
satisfactory to friends of Governor
Wilson here. Senator O'Gorman said
to-night: "Everything Is progressing
satisfactorily. Tho platform Is a pro
gresslvo one nnd I hripo to see a pro
gressive candidate nominated to stand
on It."

used as a criterion. We've sold more raincoats this sum
mer than we ever expected to sell in one season not so
much because it has been raincoat weather, as because we've
picked the kinds men want, and charged them prices they
want to pay.
Next time it rains you'll wish you had one. Costs lit
tle to have a good water-shedding raincoat and be prepared.
A double-texture slip-on, only $5. Other useful and stylish
models at prices up to $20. Better try on one of the fam
ous KENYON cravenetted wool coats. They look like an
overcoat and work like a raincoat.
Fall and winter overcoats ready for your inspection.
