FIARRISBURG, Pa, May 12—Sam Shubert, the New York theatrical man ager, who was injured in the wreck yesterday, dled to-day, His indomita- Dio will was all that kept him alive, Me was injured much more severely than any one supposed, or even he sup: posed when ho ‘phoned his story of the wreck to The Evening World, but he would not admit that his hurts were More than trivial until pain and weak- esa compelled him to succumb, Mr. Bhubert died at the Common- ‘wealth Hotel, where he was taken soon after he escaped from the burning wreck. Shubert's mother and two ais- ers and his brother, J. J. Shubert, who @ame here from New York yesterday @2 poon as they learned of the acoldent, were with him when he died, Dr, O, M. Lelser, his family physician, rho came here with a trained nurse, and Solomon Manhelmer, a friend of the theatrical manager, were also with him, The body was sent to New York to-day, Abe Thalheimer, one of Mr, Shu- bert's personal representatives, and his @ttorney, William Klein, of New York, who were with him in the wreck, have almost entirely recovered from thelr injuries and accompanied the body to New York, ir.

He was scarcely past his majority when he and Lee came down from Byracuse and took their places in the Une of New York managers, To-day the Shuberts control three theatres in New York—the Casino, the Lyric, which they built, and the Princes; two in London, the Waldorf and the Shaftes- bury; the Garrick In St. Louls, which they built; a theatre in Chicago, one in Syracuse, one in Rochester, one in Usica and two in Troy, Until Sam died to-day there were three Shubert boys, but Sam and Leo ‘were the natural showmen and business manipulators, J.
