RUH DDwS BY AUTOMOBILE Resting Easy But Owing to Advanced Age Compfica . tions May Follow HURLED SEVERAL FEET Senator Aldrich Mad Started to Cross the Street When He Noticed a Car Moving Swiftly lXwu l'Mn Him Realizing His Predicament, He Turned Suddenly, Only to be Con. fronted by Taxicab Which Had Turned . Into Street Apparently Dazed, He Stepped Forward Blind ly and Automobile Struck Him At His Son's Home. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Oct. 21. With seven policemen .on guard to turn away newspaper mm, Nelson W. ' Aldrich, senior United States senator from Rhode Island, Is believed to be lying in a critical condition at the home of his son. , Wlnthrop Aldrich, 540 Park avenue, today. He was run down by an automobile last night at Sixtieth street and Madison avenue, and mys tery was thrown about the case today . by the fact that all .Information, as to the extent of his injuries Was refused. One reporter was badly beaten when he nought information. An attache of the Aldrich home blackened his eye and otherwise mauled. hlm .''' v That the senator had - been badly hurt was evidenced by the arrival in ciulrk succession of three physicians at the home today. These physicians when seen upon leaving would make no statement. At the time they left no report of the accident had been made to the police of the East Sixty-Seventh street station, and no effort has been made to find the driver of the machine that ran the aged senator down while crossing the street in the dark. Senator . Aldrich,- with his wife reached this country only a few days ago from Europe where they had spent a vacation of several months, Since his arrival here he has been stopping at an uptown hotel. As the nged senator attempted to cross Sixti eth street, a powerful machine turned into the side street from -Madison av enue. Evidently bewildered by the unex pected a'ppearance of thA machine, the senator stood stock still In the middle of the street. Before the chauf feur could throw on his brakes the car struck Senator Aldrich and hurl ed lilm several feet. The chauffeur without stopping to ascertain the Injuries of the senator, turned on his speed and disappeared in the darkness. A few minutes la ter, Senator Aldrich. his left eye dis colored, his left cheek badly cut, his arm hanging limp at his side, and his black frock coat torn at the shoulder and covered with mud staggered Into a grocery store nearby. - He appeared on the verge of col lapse and asked for help, thinking he was in a drug store. When he found his mistake he Insisted on going to Ills son's home unassisted. Dr. Holbrook Curtiss, one of the at tending physicians, after spending reveral hours at the bedside of the aged senator, made the pillowing statement todav: '..',, "Senator Aldrich is suffering more from shock than from his injuries. He was resting easy ; when I left. However,; owing to the advanced age (Continued on Page Six.) mpiCATIONS THAT STORMS HAVE PASSED (By Leased Wre to The Times.) Washington, Oct. 21 The United States weather bureau this morning announced that 'the weather indica tions are that the storms, which have been prevalent along the southern coast, j have entirely passed and that fair and cooler weather should pre vail for several days. With the exception of New Eng land the storm In the eastern section of the country" has practically settled. The only Evidence- this morning, of any actual unsettled weather. It was said, Is along the southeastern New Kngland 'coast, although it Is not ex pected to amount to much or to last more than six; or seven hours. The wind In that section was recorded at g o'clock this morning to be of a ve locity -of 48 miles an hour " ' ' - In the middle west It Is consider ably colder today and heavy ' rainfall is looked for, particularly in the lake region. CRITICAL jAQ TODAY Cole Expected to Retrieve Fallen Fortunes cf Ccbs Cub Fans Downhearted With An nouncement That Bender Would Pitch for Athletics, All Betting, so Far as the ' Cub Fans Were Con rerned,' Came to a Sudden Halt. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Chicago, Oct. 21. The rain, which had. been falling intermittently all night, further depressed the almost hopeless Cub fans today, and while some still professed to believe the Cubs would win today's game and beat Philadelphia to the world's pen nant, many were outspoken In their belief that the Athletics would take the game today and win the banner In four straight. The Cub fans certainly were down hearted. The crowd around the ticket office at the park at daybreak was so small as to hardly look like a street corner conference between two or three men. There was none of the enthusiasm that marked the race for seats yesterday. With the announcement that Ben der- had baen picked to pitch again today, practically all betting so far as the Cub fans was concerned, came to a sudden halt. All those who were not broke already, declared they did not want to risk hard earned money on a hoodooed team. Cole was expected to be In the box for the Cubs today, 'in an . effort - to retrieve the fallen fortunes of the Cubs. One victory, it Is believed, would cheer up the players so they might have a chance of winning. The overwhelming defeats of the first three games, however, no matter what they say, have taken the sand out of them. . Today's game is a critical one first because If It is won by the Cubs, It may only prolong the agony of final defeat; second because. If lost. It will show one of the worst defeats ever known In a- championship .series. It Is not usual for xvbrld's championships to be won in four straight games. ' So, for this reason, the Cubs are go ing1 to put up the battle of their lives. The players feel that a "Jinks" is on their trial, but they intend to beat it but at that. - '- Chance Is facing a problem, which is difficult of solution. . He has not a pitcher on his staff on whom he may depend to hold down the Athletics. Cole is his one best bet. On the other hand, Mack will play a trump card in Bender. All there Is to It, he believes, Is to let the big chief throw rings around "the Cub batsmen and hold them down. Then the clev er batters of the Athletics team ex pect to go In and clean up all the hits In sight. - - . -. " " Mack Is anxious to make it a Win in four straight games and doesn't care about the box office receipts. '.;'. Game Postponed. At 10:30 there was a mist over the city , and similar conditions promised to obtain all day long. Apparently there was no chance for any sunlight for the game this afternoon. At a meeting of the National Base ball Commlsloners with the four um pires this morning the fourth game in the world's championship series be tween the Chicago Cubs and the Phil adelphia Athletics was postponed till tomorrow on account of rain and we grounds. ' Should the Cubs win tomorrow and a fifth game be necessary It will be played Sunday in Chicago. PROMISES SENSATIOSjj President of Defendant Company Asks to Have Hooks Audited For Alleged Misstatements. (Special to The Times) Charlotte, Oct. 21 In the case of C. E. Greenleaf vs. Southern Pants Company, now in a receiver's hands. a supplemental proceeding has been filed by the president of the defend ant company, the Southern Pants Company; asking that the receivers, the American Trust Company, be ord ered by Judge Long, of civil court now sitting here, to have the books of the liquidated concern formally audited from May, 1908, to June, 1910.

IS And Ship Is Guided Safely Into Port Three Hundred Passengers Pray For Safety of Steamship Counts, as it Passes Through the Very Heart of the Cuban Hurricane Thrilling Adventure. ' ; " (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Oct, 2 1 After passing through the Very heart of the Cuban hurricane, when.. waves were lashed mountain high and the wind blew nearly 100 miles an hour, and when passengers prayed for safety and sang hymns tor deliverance, the steamship Coimis, from New Orleans, arrived here today four days overdue, with thrilling stories of escape and with a particular story of bravery on the part of Mrs. Kene Cooper, of Chi cago. The vessel-carried SOU passen gers. ' When the storm was at its height last Friday and passengers were upon their knees praying for their lives, Mrs. Cooper braved the dan gers of wind and sea and went among the Bteerage -"passengers singing hymns. She is an actress, possessing a beautiful voice and her tones arose above the lashing of the wind in the rigging and the roar of the seas. The Comus first ran into the storm on Wednesday of last week. Captain C. P. Maxon, kept her on her way' right into the vortex of the hurricane. The storm grew in volume, while It seemed to the passengers that the vessel would surely founder. The panic of fright spread among those on board, particularly In the steer age. The ship rocked in the trough Of the waves until she was on her beam ends and it was certain death to venture on deck. So violently was the vessels tossed about that for a time the passengers had to cling to the stationary fixtures of their state rooms to keep - from being hurled against the walls. It was during the terrible Friday that the momentary possibility of death caused religious fervor to spread through the ship. Men ana" women knelt for hours and prayed that the vessel might be guided safe ly into port. The captain feared that some of the steerage passengers' would go Insane from fright and Mrs. Cooper volunteered to pacify them. As she sang hymn after hymn, men and women crouched about - her, touching her hands and kissing the hem of her garments. They looked upon her as the angel of deliverance and when the ship was safely through the storm they pressed their thanks upon her with tears of joy. PNTED A PITIABLE SPECTACLE Cross-Examination of Crippen Most Terrific In Memory of English Barristers his casTtottemg I'lliable Figure of Dr. Crippen, Con fused, Sclf-danutging, Cringing and Writhing 'Helical li Pitiless Rain ol (Questions l-Vatinvs Sensa tional Trial Crippen Changes Rapidly Prom Self-coniplaceut and Dapper Prisoner Into :t'i Olijert'iif Abject Pity Court Attaches De clare That He Placed the Noose I About His Oun tik. (lly Cable to The Times.) London, Oct. 21'--The 'pitiful iig ure of Dr. H. H. Cr'tppett, 'confused, self-tlamagiug' and : clinging writh ing beneath a pitiless ruin of ques tions wuile he slowly saw his case tottering before him, featured his sensational trial ,f or t lie murder of his actress-wife, Belle Klnioie Crii pen, in Old Bailey court today. Under the merciless cross-examination of Prosecutor Richard .Mulr, Crippen rapidly changed from the self-complacent and dapper prisoner into an object of abject pity. Court. attache,'i(dwlared that he .. . ., . i j . i. .. ' ... . ; ... , iiau "Miiceu tne iitJose hooih :iis own neck and the spectacle presented was one of the most pitiable in the an nals of the famous old tribunal of justice. Crippen admitted that lie knew of no person who had seen or heard from his wife since February first, nor did he know any one who had seen her leave his residence at 39 Hilldrop Crescent, '.North '-.-.London alive. He admitted that his testimony concerning her leaving him to join another man in America was mere assumption. It was the most terrific cross-examination within the memory of barris ters, who looked on. At times Solicitor Alfred Touin tried to save his client from the ava lanche of questions which rained upon him. Like the accusing personification of justice. Prosecutor Muir stood di rectly before the prisoner hurling broadside after broadside at the di minutive prisoner. The questions came like the snapping of whips hurling and tumbling upon each oth ers' heels until the amazement of those in the court room gave way to sympathy for the accused man. "Do yqu know of any person who has seen Belle Elmore Crippen, or heard from ner since her disappear ance?" was the first question shot at the prisoner after he had mounted the witness chair for the cross exami nation. . '' The witness faltered and looked startled. "I do not," he replied. "How can you prove that your wife left your home alive or that she ever left at all V" snapped Prosecutor Muir.. '. ' Crippen paled as he realized the damage to his case which these ques tions entailed. "Answer my question," thundered Muir, shaking his finger at- Crippeu "I cannot," replied the doctor. "How do you know that Mrs. Crip pen went to America to join Bruce Miller, as you stated on direct exam ination?" came next. Again Crippen hesitated and look ed towards his counsel with appeal in his eyes. "I only supposed so; she seemed to be very friendly with him," said the witness. i Crippen clutched the arms of his chair. Perspiration stood out upon his pale forehead. All his assurance was gone. . ; . The women craned their necks to see the prisoner and, as usual, wo men made up the bulk of the aud ience. Some of them had even brought opera glasses with them, thd better to see the prisoner. As the cross-examination proceed ed the solemn hush deepened.
