A NATION’S ALARM President Roosevelt's Narrow Escape From Death Cause For General Thanksgiving. MIS BODY GUARD IS KILLED Carriage Containing Nation’s Chief Ex. •cuttve and Party Demolished by Trolley Car and Secret Service Agent Craig Is Instantly Killed. Pittsfield. Mass.. Sept. 4.—Thg president o( the United States escaped a tragic death by only a few feet in a between his carriage and an •tectric streetcar in this city yesterday. while one of his most trusted guards. Secret Service Agent William Craig, was instantly killed and David J. Pratt or Dalton, who was guiding the horse* attached to the vehicle, was Mrtouely injured. President Roosevwlt himself was badly shaken up, but received only a slight facial bruise. Secretary Cortelyou. who occupied a seat directly opposite the president in the landau sustained a minor wound in the back of the head and Governor Crane who «at beside the president, extricated himself from the wreck practically without a scratch. The carriage was demolished by the impact of the rapidly moving car, and the wheel horse on the side nearest the ear was killed outright. The crew and passengers of the car escaped injury. The president and party were driving from this city to Lenox through South street, one of the principal thoroughfares of Pittsfield, which was lined with cheering people, and the catastrophe occurred in plain view of hundreds whose happiness at the advent of the nation's chief was suddenly turned to grief. The president’s lip was cut and blood was flowing from the wound. His elothfng was much disarranged and he was severely shaken up. Secretary Cortelyou had a severe wound in the hack of his head from which blood was flowing freely. Mr. Craig’s body was found just behind the car. His Shoulders and chest were crushed and the body frightfully mangled. Driver Pratt was found unconscious in the road. His shoulder was dislocated, his ankle sprained and his face badly cut and bruised. He was immediately placed in the carriage and taken to the Hcuse of Mercy, where he was attended by doctors, who say that he will recover. Agent Craig’s body was taken to a residence adjoining the house to which the president had repaired with Governor Crane and Secretary Cortelyou, and later was removed to undertaking rooms tn this city. But a few moments after the collision physicians arrived and attended the president and his ee< retary. Half an hour later the party appeared and resumed the journey to Lenox. Chief Nicholson of the Pittsfield police immediately Blared under arrest the motorman of the car, Euclid Madden. and Conductor James Kelly, and they were later taken to headquarters In this city, where later bail was furnished. The charges against them are manslaughter. George and Hugh Craig of Holyoke, Mass., brothers of William Craig, the victim of the accident. arrived here last night. They decided to take the boay to Chicago for interment, that city being Craig’s tome. ADDESSES lIREMEN President Attends Locomotive firemen’s Convention. Chattanooga. Tenn., Sept. 8. —President Roosevelt was the guest Sunday of the citizens of Chattanooga and right royally they entertained him. He came to Chattanooga primarily to attend the national convention of the Brotherhood of Ijocomotive Firemen, and today is the guest of the railroad m*n but Sunday Chattanooga as a whole entertained him. From early morning until late in the evening he was driven from one historic place to another, and the details of the battles that have made this city famous were explained to him by men who were participants in the struggles. The battlefields of Chickamauga. Missionary Ridge, Orchard Knob and I/»kout Mountain were driven over. Last Bight he attended the first Baptist eburch, of which Rev. J. W. Broucher is the pastor. The president today addressed the eon vention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and also the citizens of Chattanooga from a stand •rected near the courthouse. He will leave this afternoon for Knoxville, where all details have been completed for his visit. The programme at Knoxville Is short, owing to the president’s limited stay. Immediately upon arrival at 5 p. m. he will be met by the local rec ption ommitt<- and- x ort d by the local battalion of the Sixth regiment troops to tne woman’s building on Main avenue, where he will deliver an address.

<» P < <*> <$ «<» •-;> <t- <s><» e « PLAN TO END STRIKE. « I <?> <9 <» Pittsburg, Sept. 4.—" An ex- <® I 'S’ tra session pt the legislature <8 ❖ would cost the state less money <£■ than it is costing to maintain <? 4 the militia in the anthracite <s ❖ region to prevent and suppress <9 $ riots.” In these words Gover- $ 1 > nor W. A. Stone indicated to a $ I «> few of his friends during his $ visit here his purpose to call '» ® an extra session of the Pennsyl- <9 G> vania legislature and try to end $ ® the anthracite strike. Mr. £ Stone is said to believe that by these means an end of the ❖ strike could be made in less <9 than thirty days. The plan he <?- '-t> proposes is a compulsory arbi- $ tration law. $

DRAGGING ALONG The Coal Strike Has Entered Upon Its Seventeenth Week. Philadelphia. Sept. 8. —The anthracite mine workers’ strike enters upon its 18th week today, with the lines between the operator and the mine owner drawn almost as tightly as when the suspension was inaugurated on May 12. There were many predictions that the contest would be over by the first week in September, but if the officials of the mine workers’ union are to be believed the struggle will con tinue for months unless the coal com panies grant concessions. Some of the operators looked for a serious break in the ranks of the men weeks ago. and admit they are surprised at the way the strikers are holding out. Rumors are current, and, in fact, statements have been rfiade by prominent men both in and out of the coal trade that the strike will be ended this month. Charged With Murder. Des Moines, la..

PUT OUTOF BUSINESS * ———————— * • I Piratical Haytian Vesssl Is Sent to Bottom By German Gunboat Panther. DONE AS AN ACT OF REPRISAL — Ths Cretc-a-Pierrot, Which Boarded a German Steamer, Sent to the Bottom For Disregarding the Laws of the High Seas. Cape Haytien, Hayti. Sept. 8. —The ; gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot. which was in the service of the Firminist party, has been sunk at the entrance of the har- . bor of Gonavies Uy the German gun- j boat Panther. The crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot left her before she went down. The German gunboat Panther ar-1 rived here Sept. 5 and received instruc- j tions from the German government to I capture the Firminist gunboat Crete-1 a-Pierrot. She left immediately for. Gonaives, the seat of the Firminist gov- j ernment. The Panther found the | Crete-a-Pierrot in the harbor of Gon-, aives. and the commander of the Ger-1 man gunboat informed Admiral Kiiiick ■ on the that he must re- j move bis crew and surrender his ves- I sei in five minutes. Admiral Killiclv asked that this time be extended to 15 | minutes. The request was granted on , the condition that the arms and am-1 munition on board the Crete-a-Pierrot should be abandoned when the crew j left her. The crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot left j that vessel amid great disorder. At j the end of 15 minutes the Panther sent; a small boat carrying an officer and | 20 sailors, who were to take possession of the Fiminist’s gunboat. When these men had arrived at a point about 30 yards from the Crete-a-Pierrot. flames | were seen to break out on board of her. She had been bred by her crew ! before they left her. The Panther then fired on the Crete-a-Pierrot until she was completely immersed. Thirty shots all told were fired. There is I much feeling here against the Firminists, and their cause is considered to be a bad one. Soldiers are leaving i here to attack St. Marc. Port au I Prince is calm. Why It Was Done. The German gunboat Panther Ar- ' rived at Port au Prince Sept. 5. It | was announced from Cape Haytien Sept. 3 that the Gefman steamer Mark- 1 omannia. Capt. Nansen, belonging to | the Hamburg-American Packet company. having on board arms and am- | munition sent by the provisional gov-1 ernment to Cape Haytien. had been I stopped Sept. 2 by the Firminist gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot at the entrance to the harbor of Cape Haytien and that an armed force sent on board the steamer from the gunboat took possession of the war munitions in spite of the protestations of Capt. Nansen and the German consul.
