BOOKER WASHINGTON ESCAPES UNHURT Remaine on Platform After Finlshing and 8o Avoids the W Stampede — Injured Are Being Attended. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 10.—Seventy- eight people known to be dead and eighty injured, some perhaps fatally, is the re- sult of a panic which occurred in Shiloh negro Baptist church here tonight during | the evening sestfon of the national Bap- | tist convention. Fifteen hundred delegates | were crowded into the church, which had | only a seating capacity of 400, when the | audience wae thrown into a stampede by | & conflict between two of the delegates In‘ the rear of the church. The cries of | “fight”" the audience mistook for an alarm of “fire,” and in the wild rush seventy- elght persons were crushed to death and eighty more received {injuries some of which may prove fatal. The list of dead and Injured included only negroes in at- tendance. In the case of the visiting dele- gates the identification has been difficult. The catastrophe occurred at 9 o'clock, just as Booker T. Washington bad con- cluded his address to the national conven- tion of Baptists, and: for three hours tho scenes around the church were Indescrib able. Dead bodles were strewn In every direction and the ambulance service of the city was utterly incapacitated to move them until after 10 o'clock. Dozens of dead bodies were arranged in rows on the grounds outside of the house of worship, awalting removal to the various undertaking estab- lishments, while more than a score were | 1ald out on the benches inside. The church is the largest house of wor- | ship for negroes in Birmingham, and the | pastor says there were at loast 2,000 per.| #ons In the house when the stampede began. Instructions had been issued to allow no| more to enter, but the negroes forced thelr way ivside and were standing In every wisle. Even the entrance to the church was dterally packed. Words Are Misunderstood. Just as Booker T. Washington concluded | his address, Judge Billou, a negro lawyer from Baltimore, engaged in an altercation with the choir leader concerning an un- occupled seat and it is said a blow was struck, Somcone in the audience cried, “They're fighttig.” " MIEaRing ‘the word *“fghting” for “fire,” the congregation arose enmasse and started for the door. One ot the ministers quickly mounted the ros- trum and admonished the people to keep qulet. He repeated the word ‘‘quiet” sev- eral times and motloned to his hearers to be seated. Agaln the excited people mis- took the word “qulet” for “fire” and re- newed thelr efforts to get out. Men and women crawled over ome another to get to the door. The ministers tried again to etop the stampede, but no power on earth | could stay the struggling mass of hu- | manity. The screams of women and chil- | dren added to the horror of the scene, and through mere fright many persons fainted | and as they fell to the floor were crushed to death. The level of the floor is about fifteen feet from the ground and long steps lead to the sidewalk from the lobby just outside of the main auditorfum. Brick walls ex- tend on either side of these steps for six or seven feet, and these proved a veritable death trap. Negroes who had reached tho top of the steps were pushed violently for- ward and many fell. Before they could| move others fell on them, and in fifteen minutes persons were plled upon each other to a height of ten feet. FRAM IS HOMEWARD BOUND Arctic Steamer with Exploring Party on Noard Reaches a Port in Norway. HAUGUSEND, Norway, Sept. 19.—The Arctic steamer Fram. homcward bound with the Sverderup expedition on board, passed Utsire today and took a pilot on board. Captain Otto Sverderus,,vho was in com- mend of Fram during D w’,‘wn's expedi- tion to the North Pole in ¥y ailed from Christiania, I regions June 24, 18! % Previous to his salling Lieutens. complained of Captain Sverderup’s & tion and the captain explained ia a lév that he id not aim to reach the pole, biy only Intended to explore Greenland and to make a study of the ice In that region and by means of sledging journeys to explore the unknown reglons of North Greemland STAVENGER, Norway, Sept. 19.—Fram arrived here at 3:30 p. m. Captain Sverde- rup, who recelved an enthusiastic welcome from the large crowd present, looked well. For nearly three years Fram lay impris- oned in the ice In Jones sound, between Babbin bay and the Arctic ocesn. All at- tempts to blow up the ice around Fram proved fruitless, but in July of 1902, a heavy southern stream loosened the vessel. The vessel left Gothab, Greenland, August 14, 1902, but an accldent to its machinery com- pelled it to make the homeward journey entirely by sail. Members of the expedition shot 100 musk- oxen. Surgeon. Bruskrugen died In the north, and his body was burled in & hole cut in the fce. After the death of the doc- tor, Captaln Sverdrup took his place and attended to several cases of sickness. The crew of Fram speak of their leader in terms of hearty praise. CHRISTIANA, Norway, Sept. 19.—Captain Sverdrup has telegraphed to the govern- ment as follows: “The districts explored were the south and west coasts of Elles- mereland and the hitherto unknown dis- tricts to the west of that region.

VIENNA, Sept. 19.—A further examina- tion of the books of the Vienna Laeder bank shows that the embezzlements of Ed- mund Jellinek, an efMclal of the cashier's department, who disappeared yesterday, are about $1,150,000 The frauds were effected by the manipu- | 1ation of checke and by making false en- tries In the books, somewhat similar to those in the Liverpool bank case. I* has been discovered, however, that Jellinek has $250,000 to his credit with various Vienna firms in addition to invest- ments of upward of $500,000 in industrial enterprises. Jellinek, later in the day, was reported to have committed suicide. Adolpf Pollok, head of a firm of motor car builders, in which Jellinek Is said to have invested $562,600, has been arrestes on suspicion of complicity in the fugitive’ frauds. - ¥ LOVE AFFAIR CAUSES MURDER Well Known Social! Italy Accused of A of His Mother-| and Lawyer of nation Law. VIENNA, Sept. 19.—It s reported that Tullio Murrl, the well known soclalist and lawyer of Bologna, Italy, who Is ac- cused of the murder of Count Boni Martini, recently found assassinated in his house at Bologna, has been arrested at the frontler town of Ala, Australlan Tyrol. The motive for the murder of Count Bonl | Martini was at first attributed to robbery. On September 12, however, Prof. Murri, a university professor, one of the best known physiclans in Italy and Count Bon! father-in-law, denounced his own son, Tul- llo, as.the murderer. The accused man, the dispatch added, admitted having mur- dered his brother-in-law. and sald the crime was committed after a brawl pro- voked by a family quarrel. Other reports had it that a love affair was the cause Boni Martini lived apart from his wife. (QUEEN OF BELGIANS DEAD Marie Henriotta Expires at Dinner Table of Heart Failure, KING AND DOCTOR ARE BOTH ABSENT Leopold in France and Physielan Elsewhere About Spa and Have to Be Sent For—History of the Plous Momarch. SPA, Belglum, Sept. 19.—Marle Henri- te, queen of Belgium, died here suddenly £ht at ten minutes before 8 o'clock. sither her husband, members of her fam- ily, nor her majesty's doctors were present | at the time of death. She was seated at a table eating a light dinner, when she was seized with an attack of syncope. Dr. Guil- laume, who, in the course of the day, had | remarked upon certaln disquieting symptoms | in the queen’s condition, was summoned immediately, but her majesty was dead be- fore he arrived. Two members of her sulte were with the queen during her last moments. As s0on as the news of the queen’s death | became known, a large crowd gathered out- side of the palace. King Leopold had left France, for Sp and other members of the royal family have been telegraphed for. M. Desmet de Nayer, the Belglan premier, will arrive tomorrow. The queen and mother, Marle Henriette, had been cruelly tried. In 1860 the death of her son, the duke of Brabant, at the age of 10 years, caused her grief beyond measure. Later fresh alarms and keen sorrows wrung her mother's heart when tragic events shattered the happiness of the Princess Stephanie, her daughter. The death of the daughter of Prince Baldwin | (son of the count of Flanders, brother of King Leopold) was another cruel blow to her majesty, and the fire at Laeken cas- tle, In which a number of treasured relics were destroyed, brought her a further trial. The queen sought, if not to forget, at least to lessen her sorrow by devoting all her energies to works of charity. Her attitude in the face of misfortune was al- ways calm and resolute. The demonstrations which had been ar- ranged in honor of the visit to this city | tomorrow of the Boer generals, Botha, De- | wet and Delarey, have been postponed and | all the festivities planned for the occa- sion have been abandoned because of the death of the queen. Queen Marie Henriette was a daughter of the late Archduke Joseph of Austria. She was born August 23, 1236, and was married August 22, 1853, to Prince Leopold of Bel- | glum, son of King Leopold I, vho ascended the throne at the death of his father, as Leopold 11, December 10, 1865. The queen was noted for her pisty and charity, and in recognition of her devotion to the church, the pope sent her, about nine years ago, & notable token of high {esteem in the form of the Golden Hose of Virtue. She was also a noted and brilliant Tiorsewoman. The queen had been {ll for about three years past of malady of the heart and of recent months her conditin has been so séflous that little hope of her recovery was entertalned. ROBERTS URGES SHOOTING African Campaigner Reminds His Men that Practice Makes Perfect, and Says to Try It. LONDON, Sept. 19.—A epecial order fs- | sued tonight by Earl Roberts, commander- | in-chief of the forces, says that his ex- periences in South Africa brought to him a | realization that the British soldiers can- | not yet take the fullest advantage of the admirable weapons which are furnished them. Earl Roberts criticlses British officers for their lack of interest in shooting prac- tice, and reminds them that their tactics are llable to fail if the superiority of fire Is not sustained. In conclusion, the com- mander-in-chief promises to hold general officers accountable for attaining a firing standard of the highest eficiency, and says that hereafter no other will be considered satisfactory.

Sept. 16.—Three train_crews refused to handle nonunion coal from the Philadelphia & Reading com- pany’s North Mahaney colliery today. S:v- eral hundred strikers wore assembled near the colliery when the engines arrived to take away the coal cars and the strike lead- ers appealed to the raflroad men to refuse to haul the coal. The trainmen held a brief consultation and decided to grant the request of the strikers. The engines steamed away without the cars amid the cheers of the strikers. The crowd about the colliery soon increased to several thousand and the company officials appealed to Sheriff Bed- dall for assistance. The shefift expla‘ned the situation by telephone to Gemeral Go- bin, in command of the state troops here, and the general orfiered the Bighth regi- ment to the scene at once. By the time the soldiers reached the scene two other en- gines and crews had arrived from Gordon One company of the regiment was ordered to mount the cars and the other soldiers guarding the track for over a mile, the The train consisted of twenty-three cars loaded with coal and it is the first coal to be shipped from this dis- the strike began.
