EYE WITNESSES TELL OF AWFUL DISASTER Men in Automobile Attempt to Save the Lives of Women SPEFIS | NO TIME TO LEAP FROM THE CAR Continued From Page 25, Column 5. K The weather was perfect. lot 10u yards distant, Smith, dred feet from the scene Of the ac dent. it was the sharp exclamation of féar or shout Qf warning from the chautfeur that attracted tue attention of the LWO mien nrst named. They looked and a second later both women screamed. “Y'ic_uutomobile was then making a long skid further to the right and it scemed as if the chauffeur was not making an effort to stop it,” said Wen- zell. “With its speed but little cnecked, it slid sideways into a telegraph pole, which was just at the edge of the road. The force capsized the machine as if it had been made of paper. 1t seemed to fairly jump into the air, and, turning completely over, fell flat on the road. We could see the man, just before the machine hit the pole, jump up as if try- ing to drag or throw the women out of the machine. CHUSHED UNDER THE MACHINE. “Just as they got up it seemcd o us that the machine hit. I never saw any- thing thrown $0 nard in my lie. it wus Just as if it had been snapped over by a catapult or something under- Tne chauffeur jumped, but tne one woman and the two men went through the air. -1t looked as if tne men went about ten feet, but there was not time 1or one of the women to move. “She started to get out, it looked to us, and was going toward the left side, which was the airection in which the machine went over. We could not see how she was caught at first, but Allen and I both started on a run. “Mrs. Scott was lying at the side of the road, unconscious, when we got there. Mr. Scott was out in the mid- dle, just recovering consciousness, rais- ing himself on his hands and looking at the machine. The chauffeur was over at the side of the road, on his feet, but dazed. We spoke to him, but he could not understand us, only pointing at the machine, and then we saw un- derneath a woman's hat, just over the edge of the rear seat. That was Mrs. Harrison. DEAD WHEN DRAGGED OUT. “Allen and I and the chauffeur, who was too much hurt to do much lifting, ran over and lifted the side of the ma- chine a little Then the other man, Mr. Scott, came over and, though he was pale and hardly able to stand, he helped to drag her out from under the machine. She did not move. It does not seem to me that she ever breathed after we saw her; but Mr. Scott kept saying: ‘We must get her out and get a doctor quick.” “Another man, a driver, came up, and he helped, too. By that time, Mrs. Scott had revived and was sitting up, and just then Mr. Dominick’s automo- bile came up from behind. Mr. Dom- inick jumped out with his chauffeur and they began to lift Mr. and Mrs. Scott into the machine and then we three carried the woman's body over. We told him where to go and the ma- chine darted away. Ponceman Steoul came up then and took) charge. We dragged the automobile out to the side of the road and then we saw that the youngest fellow—young Mr. Crocker— had started down the road, crying and waving his hands. We thought he was going to the hospital, but he did not stop there.” Young Crocker was afterward found still running in Jackson avenue, near Tenth street, and was brought to Man- hattan in a white touring car. He went at once to the Harrison home, after telegraphing to his brother-in-law, who ‘was in his office down town. DRIVER SMITH’S ACCOUNT. Smith, the driver, was perhaps near- est to the accldent. “1 was golng out Thompson avenue,” he said, “and was going-up the hill siowly, when 1 heard ‘thie automobile coming behind me. ¥ drew out and i passed me. It was going very fast. They had not gone a hundred feet, it seemed, when the machine began to go Off to the right. I heard the chauffeur shout something and then the women ! screamed. The men got up and grasped the women as if they were going to throw them out and the chauffeur jumped. Just at that time the machine struck the pole and they all went out together. It's a wonder to me they ail did not have their necks broken. Tley all lay still for a little while when they struck, and the wheels of the automo- bile kept on going for a minute. “I got there as soon as I could and about the time the other men did. I tried to find out something from the chauffeur, but he could only talk French, and I saw he was poiating to the sutomoblle. All of us then went over and I saw the bat sticking out from underpeath the back seac. I hadr’t seen what did becomie of the woman before. We helped her out and | then the other automobile took the three of them down to the hospital.” CHAUFFEUR SAYS TIRE BURST. Constant Ravert, the chauffeur, al- though very nervous, was seen to-night by The Call correspondent. He was ap- parently uninjured. “It wos not anything wrong with the steering gear—it was not,” he repeat- ed, almost hysterically. “It was a col- lapsed tire on the right front whe That threw the machine over into the sand and I could not control it. I | shut oft the power and I applled the four brakes, but it did no good. It struck and Mt as it did I shouted m Jumped. “We were eomlnl up the hill” con- tinued Ravert, “very fast—at least thirty miles an hour. I was running with my right wheels on the strip of agphait and the left wheels on the ma- cadam. I felt the tire going an in- stant before it exploded, but I did not have any time before the collapse swerved the maehine right over into the sand. Try as I could I could not stop. The speed seemed unchecked I saw the pole and I'saw we were going to hit it, so I.shouted out to thera all | to jump, I thought they all did jump, and then I jumped. The hub of the right wheel hit the pole and the car went over like a shot from a guaj It was not the fault of the steering gear, for afterward, before I came away, I tried it and found it in perfect condi- tion.” LAUGHING WHEN DEATH CAME. Mrs. Laurance 1. Scott sald that every | detail of the accident up to the tirae when she lost consclousness wouid re- main indelibly upon her mind for the rest of her life. “I @on't think I shall ever recover from the awful shock 1 have received,” - she sald to The Call correspondent while seated in the office of the hospital this evi 3 Mr. w—flhw out of his mind, The suddenness of whole thing is appalling ummm We. weze all enloying.ourselves 3o much and of .

The driver cried out shrilly something | which I couldn’t understand and imme- diately afterward the whole car benni to swerve from side to side. Then it shot over to the right side of the road and I screamed loudly, Mrs. Harrison also screamed and then the automobile struck a telegraph pole. ““After that 1 remember being thrown out and then came the awful shock. I must have become l.isensible, because I don’t remember striking the ground. When I opened my eyes [ saw the run- ning board resting on Mrs. Harrison, -mh I was so horrified that I fainted. “l don’t think anything in the world could ever induce me (o enter an automo- | bile again. There is no blame to place upon anybody. The chauffeur was a most careful man, but he could do nothing with the machine aiter he lost control of the steering gear.” RATIFICATIONS ARE EXCHANCED Final Chapter in the War| Between Russia and Japan Is Enaeted at Washington i | WASHINGTON, Nov. 2%.—Without for- mality the final chapter in the bloody war between Russla and Japan was en- acted in the diplomatic room of the State Department this afternoon, when Baron Rosen, the Russian Embassador, and Mr. Takahira, the Japanese Minister, on be- half of their respective sovereigns, ex- changed ratifications of the treaty of Portsmouth, which was signed Septem- ber 5 last. The only witnesses were Prince | Kudacheft, the secretary of the Russian embassy, who was with Embassador Ro- sen at Tokio when the war began and again gerved as one of the officlal secre- taries throughout the peace conference at Portsmouth, and Mr. Hioki, counselor and first secratary of the Japanese lega- tion. Sidney Smith, chief of the diplomat- ic bureau of the State Department, and Eddie Savol, the personal messenger of the Secretary of State, were also pres- ent when the exchange occurred. ‘While Baron Rosen was signing the Russian and French translations of the Russian ratification, Mr. Takahira was aftixing his signature to the Japanese and English coples/ Their work done, Baron Rosen and Mr, Takahira again shook hands and left the department, the Bar- on going first and Mr. Takahira follow- ing a few nilnutes later, The exchange of ratifications was a formality only, the treaty having become effective on the day it was-ratified by the Russian and Japanese monarchs. MERTWETHER'S TRIAL | DEVOID OF INCIDENT ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 2%5.—To-day's sesslons of the court-martial which is try- ing Midshipman Meriwether in connection with the death, after a fight, of Midship- man James R. Branch Jg, were very largely occupied with testimony of class- mates of the accused and members of the first class of the Naval Academy. The ' evidence was intended by the defense to | show that Branch harbored animosity against Meriwether and persecuted him, | and also that the existence of the practice | of fighting was known to and in a man- ner connived at by high officials of the Naval Academy. Prominent officers of | the navy mentioned in this connection | were Admiral W. H. Brownson, now com- | manding the cruiser division of the North I Atlantic fleet, and who was the predeces- ' sor of Admiral James H. Sands as su- | perintendent of the Naval Academy; Cap- tain Charles J. Badger, who was suc- ceeded as commandant of midshipmen by the present commandant, Captain P, Col- vocoresses and Commander C. E. Cola- han, deceased, who preceded Captain Badger in the same office. It was testified that Admiral Brownson, while superintendent of the academy, had promised that in consideration of the abolition of hazing there would be no in- vestigation of fights sanctioned by the | !first class. One of the impertant devel- | opments of the day was the ordering by | the Secretary of the Navy of the disinter- ment of Branch’s body for the pu e of holding an autopsy. The body will be exhumed to-morrow. l ! taken back to Great Falls. SPEEDS.

Hill of the Great North- ern Rallway, who 1s making an auto- mobfle trip across the State from Great Falls to Billings, Inspecting the route of the proposed new addition, Is hav- ing a hard time getting over the Mon- tana hills. His automobile shot off into a snow bank on the mountain road between Lombard and Lewistown on Thursday and burled Hili and his party in the snow. The machine was turned upside down and the four men had a narrow escape from serious injury. The machine is forty-horsepower and has a record of forty miles an hour. The driver of the car was_ letting the machine out when the accident oc- curred and but for the snow there might have been a different tale to tell. The party was compelled to camp out for several hours before the car could be | righted. After the accident Walter J. Hill, a brother of the vice president, who is an expert motorist, and who was in the party, made his way to the nearest tele- grapsh station a few miles south of Lew- istown, and ordered Hill's special car sent over the ‘Jaw-bone’”” branch to where they were stuck.

LIFE OF BOY CRUSHED OUT BY AN AUTO Continued "HV-LM 25, Column 6. der. They had gone to the top of the hill and were coming down at a speed of about eight miles an hour. Two boys were coasting down the hill, and when ‘within 100 feet of them Haines says he | tooted his horn three or four times, but the boys did not get out of the way. He made a turn to steer clear of them, but when within about fifteen feet of them the Garthley boy ran in front of the ma- chine. Haines says he “killed” his en- gine and applied the brakes, but too late, and the machine struck the boy. The injured youth was lifted into the| machine and conveyed to the Pioneer works, where another and speedier ma- chine was procured and he was taken to the Central Emergency Hospital, but he was dead on arrival there. Detective Bell was detailed on the case, and from inquiries he made he reported that the boy’s death was the result ot an accident. He was unable to find Garthley's companion, but a young lady, who did not wish her name known, saw the affair, and she said the chauffeur was not to blame. The body was taken to the Morgue. The dead boy's parents live at 217 Elm avenue. His mother visited the Morgue, but saild that she knew nothing of the particulars of the fatal accident. His father is a sesfaring man and Is at pres- ent away on his vessel.
