LUSIIANIA WILL

Great Liner Puts to Sea to Attempt Record Breaking Run to Port of Liverpool.

GERMAN AND FRENCH SHIPS BELIEVED TO BE IN WAIT

British Warships Said Also to Be Ready to Convoy Big Liner to Irish Coast If She

Escapes.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—In the face of possible capture by German cruiser3, the waters just outside the harbor, the Cunard liner Lusitania passed out to sea at 1:55 this morning- on what promises to be a record breaking trip to Liverpool-

The German cruisers known to bs only a short distance off the coast are the Dresden, Karlshue and Strassburg. Two French cruisers, said to be the Conde and the Descartes, are also reported to be in the vicinity of the east oour.d trans-Atlantic lane. While hoping to escape capture by the German cruisers by her speed, it was said the Lusitania's captain had the assurance of British naval authorities that he would be met off Fire island by the British cruisers Essex and Lancaster and convoyed by them as far as New Fonndland, where, it was reported, other British naval vessels would accompany the liner to the Irish coast. Captain Dow, before sailing, said his vessel was in fine trim and that he expected to make 25 knots an hour all the way across.

The Lusitania slipped out to sea with her masthead and sidelights showing, her 200 passengers having been notified that lights in state rooms might be blanketed when the vessel passed Ambrose channel. In the passageways oil lamps displaced the usual electric lights. Passengers were permitted on fleck but warned that no lights could be shown.

Among the 92 first cabin passengers were P. T. Hollingsworth, member of the American Chamber of Commerce, in France G. Menier, the owner of the Isle of Anticosti, in the gulf of St- Lawrence Lieut. C. F. Lockhart, R. N., who sailed under orders to return to duty J. J. Cawthra, of Toronto Jacquin Bonilla, consul general, of Honduras. and a large number of newspaper correspondents bound for the scene of the war.

KANSAS RETURNS INCOMPLETE.

Returns From Yesterday's Election Fail to Show Winners. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 5.—Returns from yesterday's primaries in Kansas were not complete enough early today to determine the democratic nominee for United States senator. Hugh P. Farrelley, of Chanute, and Congressman George A. Neely, of Hutchinson, appeared to be running a close race and leading the field of seven candidates.

As returns came in the belief grew that Senator Joseph L. Bristow had been retired in favor of Charles Curtis as republican nominee for tire senate. Congressman Victor Murdock, as progressive candidate for the senate, was unopposed.

BRITISH FREIGHTER RETURNS.

Etonian Hears of War Declaration, and Wishes to Avoid Capture. NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—The British freight steamer, Etonian, which left New York yesterday for Antwerp, put back today when about sixty miles «ast of Sandy Hook. She received word last night of the declaration of war between England and Germany and returned to port rather than risk capture.

The captain reported that about 9:30 o'clock last night he sighted what he supposed was a war vessel. He could not make out the vessel's identity in the darkness.

Face Peeling Easy— Blond or Brunette

"The blonde's complexion fades early, because her skin is extraordinarly thin and fine," says Mme. Lina Cavalieri. "The brunette's, as a rule, is the reverse. The skin is thicker and has a 'tendency to an oily appearance."

For either the faded blonde's skin or the brunette's oily or sallow complexion, the best remedy is ordinary mercollzed wax. Used every night, this will give one an entirely new complexion within about a week's time. The wax gradually peels off the worn-out surface skin, with all its defects, a little each day, without affecting the delicate underskin in the least. The latter will have the exquisitely beautiful glow of vouth—indeed, one may readily lose ten or fifteen years from her age, so far as appearance goes, by a course of this pimple treatment. The wax, securable at any drug store, is applied like cold cream.

YOUTH LOSES HIS LIFE UNDER WHEELS OF CAR

Apparently Strikes Rut on Motorcycle on Grade, and is Crashed Beneath Wheels.

Crushed beneath the wheels of an east bound Highland Lawn-West Terre Haute street car between the gradei switch and West Terre Haute, Walker Hutchinson, 19 years old, son of Frank Hutchinson, county commissioner, living at 2128 North Eleventh street, died almost instantly about 10:06 o'clock Tuesday night when he fell from a motorcycle and was hurled beneath the car.

Hutchinson, with two companions, Robert Mayrose, 2523 North Twelfth street, and Albert Engles, 700 Lafayette avenue, was riding east on the grade, returning from West Terre Haute. They were going1 about 15 miles an hour, according to the two companions.

When about to be overtaken by the West Terre Haute car, which was going about 18 miles an hour, Hutchinson's machine apparently struck a rut, throwing the young man off toward the right, while the machine went to* the left. The riderless motorcycle was struck by both other riders, but they escaped injury by Jumping from the machines.

Mayrose was in the center of the trio, while Hutchinson was riding on the right side next to the car tracks. Mayrose told Assistant Chief Nugent when taken to police headquarters that he saw Hitchinson thrown off and he alighted on his feet and in what seemed to be an attempt to retain his balance, ran on to the tracks. Mayrose was thrown off when he struck Hutchinson's motorcycle.

Mayrose said when he and Singles got up they noticed the street car had stopped some distance ahead of them and the motorman was coming back. They thought Hutchinson had stumbled and had fallen down the steep grade. Their search proved futile, they looked around the street car to find the voung man's mangled body caught by the front wheel of the rear truck on the right side of the car.

The head was cut in four places and one hand was mangled. The body was crushed by the wheels and this is thought to have caused death. The youth was dead when found. In order to extricate the body it was necessary to use Jacks to raise the car.

Herman Elliott, motorman, said he did not eee Hutchinson until he emerged from the darkness Into the glare of the headlight- He said he threw ofE the power, which was only partly on, and applied the brakes. He said he yelled at the young man and did not think the car had struck him.

All the witnesses were taken to police headquarters, where they were held pending an examination. Acting Coroner John O. Garrigus was called and made an examination and pronounced the affair an accident and all the witnesses were allowed to go. The body was taken to the Hickman morgue in the auto ambulance.

The fufteral services will be held at the residence Thursday and interment will be in the Shepherd cemetery, about 12 miles northwest of Terre Haute.
