HAY’'S DEATH CASTS GLOOM OVER YALE Secretary of State Collapses When He Reaches the Side of His Dead .Son. EW HAVEN, Conn., June 23— Coming on the eve of the Yale commencement exercises, the death of Adelbert €. Hay, former United States Consul to Pretoria and eldest son of Secretary of State John Hay, has cast a gloom over the unlversity town. The full details of the terrible ac- cident which cost his life will never be known. Mr. Hay had rooms at-the New Haven House for commencement week. It Is generally supposed that after going to his rooms he went to the window for air, and. si:ting on_the sill, he fell into a doze. Then, losing his balance, he fell to the pavement 'ielow, a distance of fully sixty feet. The fall resultel in Instant death. How it all happened became a matter of speculation on the part of the throng of curious lpecxnlnr! who gathered, and a subject of mournful inquiry for the clas: mates and friends of the young man. half dozen physiclans who were hastily summoned were urable to do anythirg, and the body awaited its disposition at the orders of the Coroner's deputy. That official pronounced it a case of fccidental death. The body was removed as soon as possible to the rooms of a nearby undertaker, where it awaited instructions from the family. Repeated efforts to lo- cate Secretary Hay by wire were futile until the early morning hours, when a re- quest from the father reached Seth Mose- ley, the proprietor of the hotel, to take care of the body untll the members of the family could reach town. Tracing Victim’s Movements. Meanwhile the sensation occasioned by the tragedy contimued. Every movement of young Hay was traced in an effort to penetrate the uncertainties of the awful affair. It was learned that the young man, on May 29, left Washington with his mother and two sisters for Newburn, N. H., the summer home of Secretary Hay. Last week he left New Hampstire for New York, where he spent some days. He arrived in New Haven last evening in time for dinner and went immedlately to the New Haven House. where he was as- slgned to room 47, third floor front, o‘x- o rectly over the Chapel-street entrance the hotel office. guard of He had Young Hay was one of the van, the Academic class of Yale, come to his old college town' as a member of his class triennlal committee, and ar- rived early to assist his colleagues on the committee In preparing for the festivities of commencement week in general and fer the class supper in particular. He took dinner with some of his classmates and at § o'clock hurried to the Hyperion Theater, where he witnessed the evening perform- ance. He spent a qulet hour in the hotel corridors and smoking-room after the theater and shortly after midnight retired to his room, remarking to the fintel clerk that he was sleepy and leaving a call for 8 o'clock this morning. He was not ssen again until his body came whirling through the alr to its destruction two and a half hours later. The hotel where the unfortunate young man was quartered faces on Chape street, she principal thoroughfare of the city, and is almost under the eaves of the university which he proudly claimed as his alma mater. Workingman Sees the Fall. There was a solitary spectator of the terrible tragedy—a laborer on the city streets. At the hour mentioned the work- man saw the form of a man falling through space. An Instant later the boly lay directly In front of the main hotel entrance. The terrified laborer rushed to the spot and his shouts brought others. The usual crowd gathered. In it were several belated Yale graduates. They bent over the body. One of them, Jullan Ma- son of Chicago. a classmate of young Hay, drew back. and. horror-stricken, cried. “My God. it's Del Hay." By this time the hotel clerk had reached the scene and made the Identification complete. The body was clad in pajamas.

June 23.—The death of H. 8.

On the floor near the window was a ring worn by the vietim. His clothing had been neatly arranged. and the bed clothing was drawn back. The bed, however, had not been occupled. Here the mystery becomes intangible. The popular theory seems to have it that the young man, having prepared for bed thought to indulge in & *“good night smoke,” that he chose the cool of the win- dow, possibly dozed, lost his balance and fell from the window. The presence of the ring on the floor, however. gave rise to the fancy that possibly, while toying with the ring, it dropped and that in an effort to recover it the fall resulted. How- ever it happened, the known facts seem to make it conclusive that it was all a frightful accident. p Young Hay, it was remarked, was in particularly good spirits and had planned with unusual enthusiasm to participate in many engagements this week. In the harbor lies a yacht on which. with a par- ty of his friends, he had promised to {ake a trip on Wednesday to New London for the Yale-Harvard boat races on Thurs- day. No Bones Are Broken. An examination of the body of the young man disclosed a discoloration of the right forehead, a contuslon on the right arm and an abrasion on the right leg. A plain ring worn on the right hand was bent and cut. No bones were broken and there were no external fractures of the skull. In the sixty-foot flight down- ward the Lody escaped striking a balcony one story below and crashed upon the pavement with all the force of a mo- mentum Increased by the welght of a man of such large proportions as young Hay.

PENZANCE, June 23.—There Is now no doubt that the captaln, mate and four men of the British bark Falkland, Captain Gracle, from Tacoma January 30 for Fn'l- mouth, which was wrecked off Bishop's Rock June 22, are drowned. The body of Mate Baleson was rccovered this after- noon, According to the stories of the survivors the Falkland missed stays and was swung into Bishop's Rock with great violence. The ship immediately began to settle down. At the time of the accident the weather was bad and great confusion pre- vailed on board. Owing to her heavy list it was_only possible to get out one life- boat. With the majority of the crew and the captain's wife and child on board, this boat Elck:d up two men who had jumped into the water, but owing to the heavy sea and the fact that the boat was already overjoaded the survivors had to turn away from a third man, who was seen clinging to a hencoop. Captain Gracle and the mate were last seen standing on the Falkland's poop. which blew up. After one hour in the sea the boat sighted the St. Agnes lifeboat, which brought them to St. Marys Island, where they were provided “with clothing and food, as they had saved nothing but the clothes they stood in. ‘A boy who jumped Irto the sea and was rescued by the St. Agnes boat after he had been twenty minutes in the water says he saw Captain Gracle and other men jump from death of | tor Foraker. 75 STYLES 50 THIRD ST.

The band of the First Infantry played the “Star Spangled Banner,” and while all stood uncovered the standard was low- ered by a detail from the naval militia. The ~regiments marched away with bands playing, one working upon tamiliar strains of “Home, Sweet Hom and the other jauntily playing “I Don’t Care If You Never Come Back.” This tune was popular also withy the Fifth, for the band of the Fifth tuned up on it until the regiment was well down the grade and the musiclans were quite ocut of breath, The breaking up of camp was under the supervision of Major Off. acting division quartermaster, Lieutenant Colonel Hos- mer and Major Hewes of the division staff. They were up with the birds and the result of thefr energy was that tne camp was broken a full hour before ¢ven the most liberal guesser was willing 1o vxpeg.
