Recovering From One Operation, Feared a Second -One, It Is ' - Said. New York, Dec. 1. Clad in a new gowm and wearing her favorite rings and a. beautiful necklace, Mrs. Albert Winsten, wife of a wealthy diamond expert connected with a jewellers firm at No. 544 Fifth Avenue, threw herself "hCadtong - f rOm the eighth floor of the Hotel Ansonia, Broadway and Seventy-third Street, yesterday morning and was killed. Her body struck the roof of a one- story extension 'of the hotel, forty feet above the street level. He skull was crushed and her body torn and bruised. Half an hour before Mrs. Winsten had breakfasted with her husband in their apartment on the eighth floor, Mr. Winsten told Coro ner Hellenstein. She had been cheery, he said, and they had planned to go for a walk in the afternoon. A man named Henry Cunningham was hurrying past the Ansonia to the Church of the Blessed Sacrament when he heard what he described to a reporter as "a pitiful wail." He looked up once, then yelled so loud that 500 churchgoers gathered, about him soon after the woman's body struck the extension roof. . i Diners Alarmed by Crash. When the body was taken into the hotel it was lifeless. In the extension is a dining room. There were several late breakf asters still there, and the crash of the body on the roof shook the chandeliers. The guests thought an explosion had occurred and-ran ot of the dining room. Coroner Hellenstein decided it was a plain case of suicide. Mr. Winsten said that though his wife had been sickly for some time the nature of her illness was not alarming. They had been abroad during the summer. "I don't know what could have in duced my wif to do this," he said, "unless it was dep-ession. We had been very happy. Several weeks ago she had an operation performed and I think it was successful. She was depressed for some time before it and I noticed since that she was inclined to be melancholy." From, other sources it was learned that another operation- was neces sary and that Mrs. Winsten had wor ried greatly about it. Until a few months ago, tne wins tens uvea at No.; 304 West End Avenue. They bought a place at Dobbs Ferry, where they spent most of their time, coming to the city at frequent intervals. Mrs. Winsten was - wealthy in. her own right. , , . . ; Locked Dpor of Room.

The latest robbery that has oome before the public was committed Sunday night, when an unknown party entered the building occupied by the Coast Line Meat Market, and carried off a number of deer hides, and some small game, to the amount of between fifteen and twenty dollars. The entrance was made through the front screen door. For anumber of tyears it has been the custom to leave the main door open so the meat could get plenty of fresh air, and the only thing that prevented entrance to the -market was a heavy screen door. The thief made his entrance by tearing the wire loose from the frame of the door.1 In addition to carrying off the hides, the inner doors of the i safe were torn open, but as wa nothing there that would be of any use to any one except Mr. Cohn, the owner of. the place, none of the contents were caried off. . A part of the hides were recovered Monday,'. ' when theyiwere offered for sale 'to M. Goldman by a color ed man." As soon as the man car ried -'the f stolen .'i property ' to Gold mani be notified Mr. Cohn'-.aiid the police, but. the man left before either could arrive,, but left' the property in Goldman's place tf business: REAR ADMIRAL ...DEAD.

SECRETARY DANIELS MAKES STRONG PROTEST AGAINST PUBLISHED REPORT Washington, D. C, Dec. 1. Sec retary of the Navy Daniels tonight made a strong denial of the publish ed report that plans for an American attack on Japan had been stolen from the Navy Department. This report was widely circulated and published by several papers. ' Secretary Daniels said that there was not the least foundation for the I story. THE GERMAN FLEET ALSO RUMORED THAT A POW ERFUL BRITISH FLEET IS NEARRY. Montevideo, s Uruguay, Dec. 1 Recent reports that the German fleet is now in the South Atlantic appear to have been confirmed here today.

BAPTISTS Annual Meeting of The Largest Religious Body In The State To Be Held Next Wfek. SESSIONS i:lld in :aleigh. Pastor and Church Workers That City Are Getting In Readiness for the Visitors (By T. W. Cliambles.l Only a week and the annual con vention of North Carolina Baptists will l)c held in Raleigh. Final touches are being given of the thous and delegates and visitors that are expected. The committee on en tertainment, headed by Mr. V. O. Parker, chairman, is busy making the assignment of homes, and not withstanding tho fact that Raleigh, has close to 2,400 Baptist people, the committee has felt it necessary to invite the co-operation of the entire citizenship of the city and the people are responding to the call. In order that the evening sessions which large number's of local people will d sire to enjoy shall not be over crowded, the Auditorium has been secured. The business sessions of the convention during (he morning and afternoon will be held in the meeting house of the First Bapti.sl church. The coming convention, being the eighty-fourth annual session, prom ises to be the most enthusiastic session in several respects. The at tendance will be much larger and there are other reasons. H'acl that the convention will spend one dav.at Woke Forest, holding t lie sessions at the college and making an inspection of the new church building, erected irgely through the contribution of the churches of the slate, will attract the presence of a number of visitors. The convention will go to Wake For est Wednesday morning, csing a spe cial train; and will return in the late afternoon. The reports of Wake For est College, Meredith ( ollege and Chowan College, and (lie reports on ministerial education and secondary schools will be discussed at the Wake Forest session, and in the afternoon Rovi Dr. A. T. Robert son of the Southern Baptist Theological Semi nary at Louisville, and l!ev. Dr. John E. White of Atlanta, will de liver addresses. New Era In Education One of tho leaders in denomina tional life has said that the conven tion this year will mako a new era in Christian education; will set a new pace in Baptist church architecture; will kindle a new glow in Baptist cir cles, and will give new momentum to denomination work. The prospect is for an interesting session. There is a strong and grow ing sentiment in favor of a change in the manner of entertainment many advocates of the Harvard plan will attend this convention, and it is very likely that if the convention of 1915 accepts an invitation to either Char lotte or Wilmington, and it is quietly rumored that both of those cities will extend an invitation, the Harvard plan of entertainment may be ac cepted. An interesting proposition has been suggested by Rev. W. C. Barret, pastor of the Fjrst church, Gas tonia. Mr. Barrett proposes that the convention shall organize its work under three principal boards: the State Mission Board, as at present; the Board of Education, to have its headquarters at Durham; and the Board of Social Service, with head quarters at Greensboro. Further, he suggests that it shall be prohibited that any member of one of the boards shall be a member of either of the others and that not more than three members of any board shall be chosen from one association. State Pastor's Conference, For' several years, and with in creasing interest,' the sessions of the North Carolina Baptist Pastor's Con ference have been held the day be fore the meeting of the convention. Each year a largef number of pas tors have attended "the . conference.

Xo action was taken by the Board in the matter except a brief discussion.

Veterinarian Reports. The report, of Dr. Flower-, meat and milk inspector, xvr- read and for the first time during the year has any person received ;i score of one hun dred on the sanitary condition of the soda fountain. Those receivings this score were Bnrlhanr.s Broad street store and Daws' Pharmacy. In the crea mi i score Bradham's was one hundred. Dr. Flowers also stated that he had condemned eighty pounds of meat, during the month. The ordinance relative to main taining peanut roasters on the street, passed two months ago. was res cinded. The Board agreed (o buy oys,ter shells from the local dealers for tho same price of two sents per "bushel that was paid last year. It was voted to have two largo lights placed in the alley running from Middle to Craven streets between South Front and Pollock streets, also one in tho alley running from Middle to Han cock by the First Baptisf church.
