NEW Y ARTIOT CHAMPNEY FALLS TO HS DEATH. + Was Ascending in an Elevator to the Camera Club’s Quarters, No, 5 West Thirty-first Street, and, Being An- noyed by Delay, Stepped Out at Fourth Fioor and Dropped to His Doom. J. Wells Champney, the artist, was instantly killed to-day by falling @own the elevator shaft at No. 5 West Thirty-first street. His death was directiy due to his impatience with the elevatcr, which was moving very | slowly owing to a table which was being dragged up the shaft just | above it. The painter decided not to wait, but to step out at the fourth floor and walk up the rest of the way. He opened the door when the car was three feet above the fourth floor landing, but slipped and fell through the open- ing between the car and the floor, his body being crashed terribly by the fail to the concrete bottom of the shaft. WAS CARRYING PHOTO PLATES. Mr. Champney was a noted amateur photogrpaher as well as painter. The Camera Club, of which he was an enthusiastic member, had just moved into the building at No. 5 West Thirty-first street. Mr. Champney was taking some plates up to the club, whose rooms are on the eighth ficor, to have them developed. The bundle was a large and heavy one. James Kerr, of No, 416 West Seventeenth street, was in charge of the elevator. The artist was the only nsssenger. As the elevator crawled slowly up after the table Which was being hauled up to the Camera Club through the shaft, Mr. Champney expressed his annoyance. Just above the fourth floor a leg of the table caught on the side of the shaft and the elevator | e to a stop. i | I can't wait any longe walk the rest of the way.” CRASHED TO THE BOTTOM. He reached down and caught the catch on the door at the fourth floor and threw it open. Then he started to step out, but ashe did se his pates | slipped.’ In the endeavor to save thern he lost his balance and his body in- | stead of landing on the flocr of the hall whirled down under the car and went crashing to the bottom. Fred Haas, steward of the club, was standing below waiting for the | car to return, when the body of the painter came whizzing down. He | ran into the street without knowing who the victim was and told Police- man MeGinhis,-of the West Thirtleth street station, that a man was at the bottom of the shaft. Mefiinnis called an ambulance from the New York Hospital and Dr. ‘Thomas came. When he got to the body he found the man dead. Both } gs and back were broken and the skull crushed. The body was taken to the West Thirtieth street station-bouse and thence to an undertaker's 2uOp, \ tdr. Champney was married and llved with his wife, who is especially ii known in social and literary circles, at No, 96 Fifth avenue, ii HAD AN INTERNATIONAL NAME. Mr. Champney was one of the best known artists in the United ex. Certainly as a pastel painter he had an international reputation. his later years he spent about six months of each year abroad studying uw the European galleries. | can ',"" exclaimed Mr, Champney. “I'll get out and GIANTS, INVADERS AN | | ARESMAN INVADERS = SHORES TWO)» SENATORS 0 5 “ASHIN cece gcse, IN Oise Giants’ Catcher’s Three- ARIUS TON -+> seers 200 5 Bagger nce toes (Continued from Page 12.) ntinu r ag é Sends Browne and Bowers! eighth inning—Carey out on Williams’s assist.
