New York, Sept. 12.—The first se- rious accident of the street railway strike in this city took place early to- day when a trolley car of the Union Railway company in the Bronx, oper- ated by a “green’” motorman, got be- yond control as it started down a steep grade and, jumping the track at a curve, crashed into two jitney buses, killing two persons, and severely in- juring thirteen others. Four of the ., injured may die. The car crew was placed under arrest pending an inves- tigation. After a night of intermittent rioting motormen on the Sixth and Ninth ave- nue elevated roads reported to the po- lice that they had been fired upon by strikers from roof tops. Third Ave- nue elevated trains were repeatedly bombarded with bricks and stones hurled by strikers and sympathizers from nearby buildings. One passen- ger, a woman, was struck on the head by a missile and seriously injured. Five arrests were made. The congestion on the subways and elevated roads today was even more pronounced than yesterday, due to the |MEXIGANS WILL PAY VISIT TO PRESIDENT | Commissioners Expect to See Wilsen Abecard May- flower Today. New London, Sept. 12.—The Mexi- can members of the Mexi- can American joint commission which is studying means for restoring order in Mexico will be given an opportunity today to pay their respects to Presi- dent Wilson, who came here yester- day because of the illness of his sis- ter, Mrs. Howe. The call of the commn president was arranged after they had suggested it in a message Of | sympathy transmitted by Secretary Lane. In their message the com- missioners said’ that before leaving the United States they hoped to have the opportunity of paying their re- spects in person to the president. A meeting was to take place on the Mayflower, anchored in the river just in front of the hotel where the commission is in session. Further discussion of the state- ments made by Commissioner Pani relative to the state of the railways in Mexico featured the forenoon se sion of the commissioners, the in- formation in the hands of the Ameri- can commissioners confirming in a great part that offered by the Mexi- cans. It was regarded as probable that today’s meeting would be brief because of the visit to the Mayflower.

Riley, chairman of the In- ternational Longshoremen’s union, de- ¥ clared that the members of his or- gantzation, numbering between 8,000 and 10,000, are voting on the advisa- biliy of declaring a sympathy strike. The decision will be announced later In the day. . The danger of a general strike seemed remote today in view of the statement that the only unions likely to be involved in such a movement were those directly concerned with the sperations of the street cars. ~Hugh Frayne, state organizer for the Amer- lean Federation of Labor, who made this assertion, said that if a sympathet- lo strike were called it probaply would not involve mor than GU,U"“O workers. \[n this class he named engineers, fire- men, longshoremen and Leamsters.» In other respects the strike situation today showed no other features. '].‘he strike now involves three counties, ind the residents of Yonkers, Mount Vernon and New Rochelle are entire- ly without street car service. Every trolley car in Manhattan and the Bronx remained smuonuryA\ast night 4and service was resumed this morning on only a fraction of normal sched- ales. 4 The Interborough Rapid Transit company maintains that subway and Tlevated trains are running regularly, bt the strikers declare that they have made inroads in the ranks of the com- pany’s motormen. As the result of the Should Not Lose Friendship of Allies Paris, Sept. 12, 11:30 a. m.—Spain must decide in favor of one or other of the groups of belligerents, opinion of Antonio Maura, premier and leader of the conservative party, according to news despatches from Madrid quoting an address de- livered by Senor Maura, The address was delivered at Be- ranga, near Bilboa, at a meeting at- tended by 6,000 Mauristas. The for- mer premier declared according to tho despatches, that Spain could not abandon her neutrality but that the condition of the war made her isola- tion henceforth impossible. He is quoted as saying that it was moreover essential that France and England should not be hostile toward Spain. The Madrid despatches predict that Senor Maura’s speech will make a strong impression throughout the country, as his prestige never was s0 high as at present. The majority of his followers are supposed to be pro-German in their sympathies. 60DS KNOW OF BREMEN Director of Ocean Navigation in the former | Com- pany, Owner of Undersca Boat, Ignorant of When It Will Arrive.

New London, Sept. 12.—President Wilson today remained near his ter, Mrs. Anna E. Howe, who is criti- cally ill here. His plans depended largely on the outcome of her sick- ! ness. Early this morning it was said that her condition was practically un- changed. The first news of the apparent re- publican victory in Maine was received by the president from the newspape: this morning, as members of his party would not disturb him last night with the word because of the illness of Mrs. | Howe. He would make no comment this morning. Arrangements were made for the president to receive the members of the American and Mexican joint com- | mission on board the naval yacht Mayflower during the day. The Mayflower, with Mr. Wilson on board, was anchored off Fort Trum- | bull near here, but launches carried | hourly reports to the president of Mrs. BERLIN FAIR MAKES HIT WITH FARMERS Agriculturalists Highly Pleased With Exhibition of Cattle PRIZE STOCK PLENTIFUL | Exhibitors Blooded | Breeds to “Jarvisville” for Ed Many Bring ca- tion and Delight of Throngs—Other Exhibits Up to Standard. If it is possible to improve on the state fair in Berlin from an agricul- tural viewpoint, it will be necessary to g0 outside of New England and travel to the western states. Nothing finer in the way of a general farm exhibi- tion has ever been seen in this section of the country, according to the state- { ments of prominent farmers and old time fair-goers. Colonel Jarvis, pres- ident of the Berlin Agricultural soci- ely, said this morning, after viewing all departments that all previous big | records had been surpassed. Undoubtedly the biggest feature of | the fair from a rural standpoint is the exhibition of neat cattle. Although no extra inducements were offered to | get‘cattle men to exhibit here, at the Lresent time there are more than 250 head of horned stock on the ground TThese inglude 125 head of draught cattle, scores of fat cattle and pr winning dairy herds. Besides the big herd of Devons belonging to N. P. Beardsley of Roxbury, which arrived Sunday afternoon, there are many cattle from east of the Connecticut river. Beavens and Purple of East Hamp- ton are here with twenty-three voke of all grades and ages from yearlings upward. The town of Portland sent in twenty-one pairs late yesterday ond it was necessary to erect another big tent to accommodate them. T. B. Terrill of Woodbury has six yoke of Devons; J. B. Palmer of Round Hill Stock farm one yoke of big Here- fords and eighteen head of Guern- seys; H. S.

Portland, Me., Sept. 12.~—The thor- oughness of the republican victory at the polls yesterday was emphasized as the return from isolated towns and plantations straggled in today. Revised figures place the plurality of Governor-elect Carl E.

The Cur for the republicans | delegation to congress were practically unchanged from figures of last night were the pluralities of Frederick Hale and former Governor Bert M. Fernald, who were elected to the United States senate. The republica pluraliti . who have held a majority in the state senate, will con- | trol both houses by a good working majority. A study of the returns for the legislature show that Franklin county completely reversed its repre- sentation in both houses, returning all | republicans to replace the solid demo- cratic delegation. Oxford, which was | | represented by one democratic senator | democratic represetatives, elected all republican candidates. Four democratic sheriffs and five democratic county attorneys failed of Somerset county had not reported early today and Penobscot county, which elected a republican county attorney, was in doubt in the matter of the sheriff chosen.

Of the armies of five nations as- sembled on this front, reported from some sources to number some 600,000 men, the British and French are known to be exerting heavy pressure, the British along the Struma front, northeast of Saloniki, and the French northward along the Vardar on the Serbian border. French troops also are co-operat- ing with the British in the more east- erly operation, where, like their allie they have crossed the Struma, captur- ing the village of Yenimah on the easterly bank, within ten miles of Demir-Hissar.
