Huff- cut, former dean of Oornoll University LAvr benool, one ot the Icndine authori ties on constitutional law in the United States and personal cmusel of Gov ernor Hughes, ended his life -today by shooting. The upper deck of the Hud son rtver steamer C W. Morse was chosen by. Mr. Huffcut aa the scene for the commission of the tragic act. Sometime early this .morning, while the steamer was coming down the rive! from Albany to this citv, and while the steamer was swept by the heavy rain storm which prevailed for hours, the lawyer seated himself in a deck chair and sent a bullet into his brain. His body was .found hours later by a deck hand, when the steamer had almost Teached her dock. His identity was not known at that time, and it was not until Governor Hughes, who chanced to be in the city, had visited the undertaking rooms where his ibody lay that the identification was made positive. The governor was deep ly affected by the death .of his friend and counselor, and said that he was utterly at a loss to account for his act, Mr. HuBcut left a letter for his sis ter, Miss Lillian Huffcut, of this city, but it contained not even a hint of his reason for taking his life. In the letter the lawyer said that only his consider ation for others had restrained him from acting before.- "I cannot tell you how shocked and saddened I am ty this event," said Governor Hughes, -in speaking of Mr. Haircut's death, -Dean Huffcut wfts not only my legal ad-visor, but had long been my personal friend, ami I had the high est odmiration for his qualities of mind and heart. He succeeded me in the law faculty at Cornell University and later 'oecame is dean ot that facultv.

PRESIDEHT'S WIFE NARnQifVLY ESCAPES DEATH ON YACHT Sylph With First Lady of Land on Board Collides With Tugboat. MISTAKE WAS DUE TO NISMDESSTAKSING Engineer of Pleasure Craft Failed to Re verse Engine and Vessel Crashes into Smaller Craft Captain is Exonerated by President l.a.ouMmm . Washington, D. C, May 4. Mrs. Roosevelt and a number of ladies ac companying her aboard the yacht Sylph narrowly escaped a serious accident as the boat reached Washington yesterday on it return from a trip down the. Po tomac river. ' Through some misunderstanding the boa: went past her dock and crashed into a tugboat. The shock was so- se vere that the flag pole of the Sylph fell to the deck with a crash, narrowly mis sing Mrs. Roosevelt and those with her. Among them were Mrs. Clifford Rich ardson, of New York, and Mrs. Bacon, the wife of the assistant secretary of state. - - Mrs. Roosevelt was entertaining a party of friends aboard the yacht, hav ing left the city at noon and returning to the navyyard at three o'clock For a time following the accident there was considerable excitement aboard the yacht, but the ladies were assured there was no danger and the vessel was backed to her dock, where the party disem barked without further adventure. Both yacht and the tugboat were more or less damaged. The impression is that the engineer misunderstood an order to reverse his engines as one to go forward, resulting in the collision. The launch of the Sylph was badly damaged. . The fact that the yacht was not pro ceeding at a rapid rate was regarded aa fortunate, as otherwise the . damage would have been considerable. Capt. Roscoe C. Bulmer, the captain of the Sylph, was at the White House today, but for what purpose it could not be as certained, j 1 - " ' It was said at the White House later that all the . circumstances plainly showed that Captain Buhner waa clearly not ait fault. The mistake, it was said, lay with the engineer's department, which had improperly interpreted the signals. ' The President, it is. said, is satisfied with Captain BnlmerY explanation and a court of inquiry, which usually follows an accident, will not be necessary. Yale Middy Race Postponed.
