DORY OVERTURNED AT ANNUAL RACES Miss Edi Riker of Bridgeport Nar- rowly Escapes Drowning. Bridgeport, Conn. Sept. 4 competing against five male S men in the annual dory races off Fair- fleld beach this afternoon, which con- test was witnessed by hundreds of | fashionable New York and Connect- icut people, Miss Edith Riker ,daughter of Andrew L. Riker, vice president of | the Locomobile Company of America, | had a close call from drowning, when her dor hit by a squall about { two miles off Penfield Reef lighthouse and overturned |~ At the time Miss Riker was far behind the other contestants, who were George Pitsfeto of New York, Lawrence Riker, her brother, Nathaniel Wheeler of Fairfield, George P. Brett, Jr., of New York, and Arthur Talcott of New Rochelle. They had rounded the reef and were out of view of Miss Riker's dory and therefore continued the race unaware of her plight. The overturning of the dory was plainly seen from the shore, however, and men put off in rowboats and after a hard battle succeeded in reaching the girl and bringing her ashore, lit- | tle the worse for her adventure. ~Pit- | sfeto won the race and was awarded | a silver cup presented by Henry Row- land of Fairfield.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 4—Thrown from their speeding automobile when it struck a garbage wagon two miles from this city today and all seriously injured, George M. Cohan, his 13-year old daughter, Georgia Cohan, Wallace Fddinger, leading man for Mr. Co- han’s new play, Francis Xavier Hope, Myr. Cohan's confidential secretary, and Willilam Vgn Buren, Eddinger's chauf- feur, were rushed to the Hartford hos_ pital where at a late hour tonight it was said that Mr. Cohan and the other men would recover but that the re- covery of his daughter is doubtful. Car Turned Turtle. The party was coming from New York to Hartford to begin rehea for the new play which was to be tried out here. They were in Eddinger's machine. Twg miles south of Hartford Van Buren, who was driving, turned out to pass a wagen. The driver of the wagon turned to the left and the chauffeur was unable to stop the heavy machine. He struck the horse and the car was thrown aside by the im- pact, It struck an embankment by the reoadside and turned turtle. All five passengers in the big machine were thrown out, but all escaped being crushed under the car as it turned over. Passing automoblies were used as ambulances to take the five injured people to the hospital. Miss Cohan Unconscious. There it was seen that Miss Cohan was the only one critically hurt, al- though the—injuries of the four men were serious. It was at first thought that Mr. Cohan would not recover, but the doctors said tonight that the patient would probably be able to leave his bed within a week or two unless internal injuries-which are feared in all five cases, develop. His hurts con- sist, of a dislocation and a possible fraCture of the left shoulder, a serious scalp wound and other cuts. Miss Georgia Cohan has a fracture at the base of the brain and minor injuries. e has béen unconscious from the time of the accident. The surgeons hold out little hope of her recover Injuries of the Others. Wallace Eddinger’s face, arms and legs are cut and he may be internally injured. Francis Hope was seriousiy hurt. He sustained a fracture of the left elbow and a double fracture of the left wrist and a severely sprained back. His condition Is net thought te be critical. The chauffeur, Van Buren, has abra- sions of the head and a cut over the eye. He was the least serfously in- jured of the group. Wagon Driver Blamed. According to Van Buren and the few witnesses of the accident the col- lision was due partly to the speed at which the automeblle was traveling, but largely to the carelessness or ig- norance of the driver of the garbage wagon, John Gabriel, who drove his horse directly into the path of the speeding automobile. The horse was badly injured and had to be killed. Van Buren said -that his yar was traveling about 35 miles an hour when he first saw the wagon. Mr. Cohan exonerated the chauficur from blame for the crash and said he believed the Wagon driver to have been to blame. THREE DANCES ARE DENOUNCED AS VULGAR.

Unable to show that he had come into ‘the Dominion at any recognized port of entry, Thaw was practically convicted of entering by stealth, and on this charge alone he can be de- ported.

This would mean swift and certain return to Mat- teawan. Conviction on_either of the other two charges would mean depor- tation to Vermont. Resented Queries as to Sanity. William Trayers Jerome spent an impatieni day walfing for something to happen. As chief of the New York forces he hoped to have Thaw across the border tonight. His automobile stood all day near the Grand Trunk railroad station in_the second story of which Thaw-is held and all day Jerome strode up and down the station plat- form. Twenty other antomobiles were panting for the dash for the line, nine miles away. Thaw resented keenly as to his sanity. If this were to be taken up, he contended, he should be allowed to have alienists present. Two physicians for the immigration author- {tles, Dr. Gurd and Dr. Beauchamp, ‘were present. Thaw Quotes Alienists. When asked point blank if he was sane or insane when he killed Stanford White, Thaw quoted with remarkable show of memory, from the conflicting opinions of the many alienists iden- tified with his case and laconically suggested that the board take its choice. He bridled when asked about his mother’s condition, just prior to his birth, and said that perhaps she the questions was better qualified to answer. Mrs. Thaw, though it had been reported that she had left Pittsburgh on he way here, had not arrived tonight.
