Another auto accident occurred yesterday near the Tan Yard, Caroline county, about six miles from Easton, which resulted in the death of Wra. Jas. Wright, aged 61 years, one of the leading and most prominent citisens of Caroline county.

Mr Wright left his home on the farm known as "North Wales" on the Choptank river to take hm grandchildren to school at Ireton, On his way back to lus canning house, which is located on his farm, he st-arted to cross the tracks of the B. C. A A. Railroad Company near the Tan Yard, when he was struck by the morning train bound to Baltimore from Ocean City. The auto was completely demolished and Mr.

Wright thrown out. He was placed in an auto and started for the Emergency Hospital at Eastern, but he died before reaching the institution. His remains were carried back to his Itome. From what can be learned, Mr Wright's view of the approaching train was ob stnicted by two box cars and a flat car standing on the railroad siding, together with the canning house of Percy Douglasa, which is located near the railroad tracks at this point. From an inspection of tbe wrecked car, Mr, Wright had shut down his brakes hard, but too late to prevent the accident.

Mr. Wright was a memlwr of the Maryland House of Delegates from Caroline county during the session of 19 was an anient supportrr of prohibition and woman suffrage. During one of his speeches in the semion of 1918 he became so warm that he asked the privilege of the speaker of the Houw to remove his coat, which request was granted. He finished his spowh in his shirtsleeves and was thereafter termed the ooaUwsa orator from Caroline county. Mr.

Wright was a prominent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and often in the atwenoe of the preacher, would take charge of the religious services in the church. He was high up in the Masonic fraternity. For six years, prior to his I wing elected to the Maryland House of Delegates, lie was a member of thp txmrd of county commissioners for Caroline county. He was a brother of Martin M. Wright, of East on, a member of the board of education for Talbot county; Walter M.

To a delegation of CaUfornians Senator Harding declare! today that the nation must "stand behind" the States of the Pacific Coast to relieve them of the difficulties of Oriental immigration and must see that only such aliens as can be assimilated and imbued with thorough Americanism are admitted. Tbe dangers of racial conflict, said the Republican nominee, must be recognised and provision made to reduce them to a minimum. He suggested that such steps could be taken without offensive reflection on any race and without railing the question of racial inferiority or inequality. In his speech to the OaliforniafM the Senator also suggested the necessity of a rotective tariff levy to aid American armers and replied at length to Democratic charges of a Republican "Senate Oligarchy." He reminded the voters that Senators are elected by popular vote and declared the Democratic leaders were opposing Senate influence because they wanted to perpetuate "autocratic, personal government." The nominee declared it was not surprising that the Democrats should be displeased because Congress had exercised its constitutional powers during "a seven-year period of fine words, much dictation, tinkering with business, and unwarranted assumption" by the 'The Senate 'oligarchy, as they call it, and the 'oligarchy of the House of Representatives," he continued, "forced them toward efficiency in making war and forced them toward some efficiency.

Dr. Layton improved the opportunity to enlighten his fellow-passengers on the Pullman in an address, condemning Wilson, ridiculing Cox and preisingilarding and his masterly evasions, perhaps. A Negro porter on the ear, who augned to sense the ridiculousness of the situation, declared confidentially soto voce, to a passenger who regarded the doctor's address with some amusement: "Doc' Layton better watch act at home; the men all got their knives out for him in Delaware; he tried to keep the blacks out of decent schools."

Using as an example the foreign competition confronting California fruitgrowers, Senator Harding declared that Rif to save this or sny other worthy and developing agricultural industry of America, tariff protection is necessary, then tariff protection must be given." He added that "a long list" of farm products might be found to require such protection, though any tariff revision must be based on general and not on class interest.

Fortunately, she was rescued from the water. Captain Horace Wilson, president of the ilson lino, stated today that no one was injured or drowned. An investigation into the cause of the accident is now under way. The force of the collision threw men and women off their feet. Amid the panic which ensued, Miss Talley, climbing through a cabin window, was knocked screaming into the river by the crush of people behind her.

She was rescued by a League Island workman, who was hurrying to the scene in a lighter. The man plunged into the river and seised the girl as she was about to be swept beneath the lighter. Mrs. Hannah Talley, mother of the girl, and Mrs. Frank Pennington, her grandmother, watched the rescue.

Charles II. Faulkner, who has been in the employ of the company for a year, was pilot of the City of Chester. John Emering is captain of the boat. The suction dredge, the property of D. L.

Taylor was working off pier No. 6. The steamer's bow struck tbe dredge in its center, penetrating 15 feet and passing two boilers. The ship's bow was crushed and the passenger rail torn away. In the confusion following the collision men lifted children above their heads as they fought a passage to the companion-ways and lower deck.

Passengers were removed from the steamer to a navy yard lighter, sent to the scene by Commander A. II. Allen of the navy medical corps, who witnessed the collision. Later the City of Chester moved slowly up stream under its own power. The passengers were taken by motor trucks to the League Island trolley line.

Prior to the New Castle county caucus the Wilmington delegates held a caucus, particularly to discuss the desire of the city for an increased representation at conventions.

William Campbell presided. City C3iarrman Timothy J. Mooney urged the proposition of the 1S5 delegates from the I whole State, WTilmington, Mr. Mooney eaid, which cart 10,000 Democratic votes at the last election, out of the 24,000 in the whole State, has only 15 delegates while Kent and Sussex have 60 each, ana rural New Castle 50. Mr.

Mooney said that while the city wanted 60, he felt it could not be obtained, but it was suggested that 30. instead of 15 as at present, be aimed for. This plan involves the election of six delegates from each of the five Representative districts in the city, instead of five as at present. Also be suggested six from each district in rural New Castle, the same as Kent and Sussex, Wilmington having only half as much. jj Mr.

Mooney said a rural delegate had told him he would be willing to present such a proposition to the county caucus and he believed it would be accepted. A motito to this effect was adopted by the Wilmington caucus, which unanimously consented to request 30, instead of 60 delegates. VOCXD ABOLISH ROTATION. Former I Senator R. R.

Kenney is drawing a resolution for presentation to the convention this afternoon to abolish the custom of rotation in 'the nominations for State and Congressional officers after this year. About 1878, when Governor John W.

"That was done," he explained, 'when a nomination was equivalent to as election. This is not now the case and by resolution will provide that the nomiiations can come from any part of the State, so that it will be pr ssible at all times to pick the very strongest men." 8TBOMG FAVOB FOB DR.
