TOO FASTAT CURVE
Pasteur Expert, Dr. Ram
baud, In Auto Smashup.
FAMOUS CONTRALTO IS HURT
Going at High Rate of Speed, the Car
Turns Turtle, Throwing Party Into
Road All Were Injured Except
Scientist's Young Son.
Poughkeepsle, N. 1, Aug. 3. Dr.
George Glblcr Rainbaud, director of
the Pasteur Institute In Now York,
was perhaps fatally Injured; his wife.
Mine. Gervllle-Iteache, the prima don
na, was seriously hurt, and four others
were Injured when a sixty horsepower
car that Dr. Rnmbaud was driving
turned over when he was rounding a
sharp curve on the East Park road,
four miles from Poughkecpsle.
Valentine It. Gervllle, sister of Mme.
Rnmbaud, was bruised about the head.
Paul V. Laurent, niece of Mine. Ham
baud; Simon Laurent and Klngloy E.
Stiles, Adirondack guide, nlso were
less seriously Injured.
The only two persons In the car who
were unhurt were Paul, the two-yenr-old
son of Dr. Rambaud, and Albert
Jncquot, the chauffeur. Dr. Marvin
of Vassar hospital, where the Injured
were taken, said that he believes Dr.
Rambaud has suffered Internal In
juries, which will prove serious. No
alarm was felt for the others In the
party.
Dr. Rambaud and his pnrty left heno
on July 20 in his high power auto fee
a trip through the Adlrondacks and for
several days had been camping nt
Long Lake, where the game protectors
found two deer In his possession nnd
fined him $100.
Mrs. Edward Tompkins, who lives
near the curve, said that when Dr.
Rambaud's car passed her home It was
traveling at a high rate of speed. She
said that the car appeared to slow up
for the curve, but the pace was still
too fast, and as it rounded the curve
the steering gear broke.
The car whirled oft the highway and
on its first revolution it hurled the oc
cupants out and then made three more
turns before it landed upside down in
a field twenty-five feet away. Dr.
Rambaud's young son was thrown
twenty feet away on to the grass, but
the others fell in the roadway.
Dr. Rambaud, who Is thirty-five
years old, is a nephew of Dr. Paul
Glbier, who established the Pasteur in
stitute in this city and came here to
take a course in medicine at Colombia
university, where he was graduated.
Ho succeeded his uncle as director of
the institute in 1000. In that year he
was married to Miss Lulu Fowler Bry
an, who had come from Texas to bo
treated for rabies at the institute. In
the fall of 1000 she, sued for divorce
and the case was heard before a ref
eree, who awarded her a decree.
After the divorco was granted gossip
associated the name of Dr. Rambaud
with that of Mme. Gcrville Reache,
who had come hero from Paris pn the
establishment of the Manhattan Opera
company, to be Mr. Hammerstein's
leading contralto. On Jan. 27, 1010, it
was announced that Dr. Rambaud and
Mme. Gervllle Reache had been mar
ried on Nov. 11, 1000.

Thomas A. Edison Sails For Europe
With Son Charles.
New York, Aug. 3. Thomas A. Edi
son, the inventor, sailed for Europe od
the Mauretanla to put in a little time
worrying, as ho expressed it. It is
Mr. Edison's first vacation in twenty
two years, and ho said he'd been too
busy to worry for a quarter of a cen
tury, so he thought ho would give a
little attention to it now.
The inventor was accompanied by
his son Charles. Ho will Join Mrs.
Edison and his danghter Madeleine
nbroad and will tour tho continent
with them for six weeks.
"What have you been doing lately?"
he was asked.
"Oh, I've perfected the talking pic
ture nnd made some new phonograph
records with a deeper and more clear
cut tonation."
HOTTEST IN FORTY YEARS.
Heat Wave Longest Duration and Over
Largest Area.
Washington, Aug. 3. Not in the past
forty years have temperatures in the
United States during tho late spring
nnd early summer been so uniformly
high for so long a period and over
such a largo portion of tho country as

officials. The high temperatures were
most pronounced over the more central

MIKE DONLLN. , Mff
Actor-Ball Player, Sbld to
Boston, In Stage Dres3.
Pittsburg, Aug. 3. Mike Donlln, the
great outfielder nnd pseudo nctor, has
been sold to the Boston Rustlers by
the Giants, nnd it may be the means
of mnklng n pennnnt team out of what
is now a hopeless tallender. It Is said
that President Russell of the Boston
team has promised the famous Mike
that next season he will make him
manager of his club. The price paid
for Donlln was not stated.
In the fall of 1008, when the Giants
failed to win the pennant becnuso of
a technicality, Donlln quit the dla
mond for the stage. He was seen
with his wife, Mable Hite, in vaude
ville. He was such a failure that he
thought that it would be best for him
to go back to his first lovo the ball
field.
SINGLE TAXERS FREE AGAIN.
Sinclair and Arden Companions Fasted
While In Prison.
Wilmington, Del., Aug. 3. Upton
Sinclair is no longer in prison. He
and his followers from tho single tax
colony nt Arden, Del., who were sen
tenced to eighteen hours' imprisonment
in the New Castle county workhouse
for violating tho Sunday blue law,
have served their time.
Sinclnir and all of his companions
worked seven hours on the prison
stono pile, with forty other white nnd
negro convicts. He and his followers
returned to the colony at Arden, where
they were greeted ns heroes.
Sinclair could not sleep in Jail. The
surroundings and the moans of the
other 337 prisoners inspired him to
compose an appropriate poem. The
lines are appropriate of tho night in
Jnil and are entitled "The Menagerie."
The presence of what Sinclair termed
"foul vermin" on tho cot that his cell
mate and single tax companion, Berke
ley Tobey, occupied, suggested the cir
cuslike name.
Sinclair proved himself a hero. Ho
did not eat or take a single drink of
water during his Incarceration, nis
reason for refraining from drinking
was that there were too many appar
ently tuberculosis afflicted prisoners
who used the drinking cups.
Tho first thing he did after reaching
Wilmington was to drink a large
bottle of spring water. Don Stephens,
son of Frank Stephens, millionaire
founder of tire Arden colony, nnd Fred
Stolnllne, who were in tho prison party,
likewise fasted. AH of the martyrs
Invaded an ice cream establishment
aftor their release.
Tho author laughed when he narrat
ed his work in the prison quarry.
"I wheeled 100 wheelbarrows of
stone to the crusher. My companions
did likewise. We put in seven hours.
Wo all wore tho regulation garb of the
Jafl. My prison number was 10,307,

Photo by American I'rcss Association
Washington, Aug. 3. When Repre
sentative Olllo James, who is working
for the senatorial Job from Kentucky,
secured the marine band to play at the
Blue Grass State fair at Lexington his
popularity took such a rise among the
voters of that state that several other
senators from southern states decided
to follow his example nnd file n re
quest for the famous band to play In
their states.
Seven senators called at the White
House to propose to tho president
six weeks' tour for tho band through
Dixie commencing Sept. 5. The presi
dent assured the senators that their re
quest was entirely favorable to him,
and he has accordingly written to
Beekman Wlnthrop, acting secretary
of the navy, who is ex officio bnudmas
ter, telling him that if it is agreeable
to him he would like to see the tour
arranged.
MEXICAN MINISTER QUITS.
Emilo V, Gomez Says De la
Barra
Forced Him to Resign.
City of Mexico, Aug. 3. Emilo Vn-
quez Gomez, the Mexican minister of
the interior, has resigned his position
in tho cabinet Gomez declared that
he was forced to resign by President
Do la Bnrra, who demanded that tho
resignation be hnnded In immediately.
Gomez said: "President Do la Barra
represents the conservative tendencies
of tho Diaz regime while I stand for
revolutionary Ideas."
This Is tho first public evidence of a
lack of hnrrdony between De la Barra
and the Madero and' Gomez combina
tion and has created a sensation in
this city. It Is said that the request
for the resignation of Gomez is the
first of a number of moves that De la
Barra will make to show that he Is
president In fact as well as name. A
successor to Gomez has not been
named.
It is admitted on all sides that tho
De la Barra government has arrived
nt a crisis that will test its strength.
The followers of Gomez believe that
Madero is behind the move and that he
wishes to eliminate Gomez and his
brothers from participation in the gov
ernment.
There is much anxiety in the city, as
it is feared that the threats made by
the Gomezlsts will be carried, result
ing in rioting If not actual battle in
the city.

man of New York made his maiden
speech in the senate on tho reappor
tionment bill, which will bo voted oa
today, Increasing the house member
ship to 433.
Senator O'Gorman urged the senate
to pass tho bilL He pointed out that
in the last decade tho population had
Increased by 15,000,000 people. It was
proposed to add forty-two members to
the house to represent them. Yet the
Increase in population in the decode
was about four times tho actual pop
ulation when tho republic began and
when the house had 105 members, lie
held tho house was tho best Judgo ot
its own membership.
Senator O'Gorman was given clone
attention. He spoke quietly and easi
ly and made himself heard without er
fort. It wns well understood that his
speech was called forth by the oppo
sition of Senator Root to tho bill.

BY TROLLEY
NOW
Increased Rates May React
on Railroads.
COMMUTERS 'ARE INDIGNANT.
Fares Charged on Electric Lines Being
So Much Lower Believed Will Have
Tendency to Draw Traffic, Espe
cially Among Women Patrons.
Philadelphia, Aug. 3. Tho increase
in the price of the excursion, fifty trip
nnd package tickets to and from sub
urban points by the railroads will
probably act ns a boomerang. The
trolley companies, it is believed, will
transport more passengers to and
from outlying sections both in this
state and New Jersey, and tho passen
ger receipts of tho railroads will be
largely reduced.
The trolley lines, within a radius of
twenty-five miles of Philadelphia
charge considerably lessthau the rail
roads. Many women will soon begin to feel
thnt the expenso of traveling over the
railroad lines is now too great, in some
instances tho increased excursion rates
being 50 per cent higher. It is antici
pated that many will economize nnd
travel by trolley.
Not only in Pennsylvania, but through
out New Jersey and New York stntes,
where the "equitable adjustmeut" of
rates also went into effect on the rail
road lines, indignation by travelers
over the seemingly unreasonable
changes is generally expressed. Busi
ness men's associations here and else
where are considering protests to the
state railroad commission nnd the In
terstate commerce commission.
While the public utilities commission
of New York has ordered a suspension
of the increase until October, the rul
ing does not nffect travelers to that
state from Philadelphia because the
commission has no Jurisdiction over
intrastate transportalon. The govern
ment commission will consider such
protests.
The state railroad commission, ac
cording to dispatches from Harrisburg
will consider the increased fares at its
next session if protests are filed. The
citizens of Olney have made an nppeul
to the commission to investigate the
charges, nnd it is not unlikely that
other sections will do so In the nt-nr
future.
AVIATORS READY FOR RACE.
Hamilton Tries Out Machine For
Philadelphia-New York Flight.
Philadelphia, Aug. :3. The three

day. New model Curtiss biplanes oi
higher power and swifter than the
one Hamilton piloted here before will
be used. Hamilton says that in flying
over the city It would only bo prudent
to go at a high altitude, about 2,000

FEAR FEVER EPIDEMIC.
Fifteen Cases In Hospitals Cause Board
of Health to Investigate.
Philadelphia, Aug. 3. Fifteen new
cases'of typhoid fever, admitted In the
downtown hospitals, are furnishing
the hospital physicians and tho board
of health with a problem of consider
able importance. The cases are from
widely separated sections of the south
ern portion of the city, and it is
thought they can scarcely be from n
common origin.
"The board of health will make 11
rigid Investigation of this outbreak ns
soon as tho reports cotno Into oui
hands," said Dr. A, A. Cairns, chief
medical inspector. "I am satisfied tho
water has nothing to do with it, as
tho entire downtown section is being!
supplied with filtered water. It is
possible, however, that the cases may
bo traced to ice cream or infected milk
nnd we will begin at once to trace
down the source."
