2 THE DAILY RECORD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1909. No. 887. □ BERLIN ♦s Mr. Sidney Whitman, the English publicist, is making one of his periodical visits to Berlin, and is at the Hotel Continental. Mr. George Ade, the American humorist and play wright, of “Fables” and “College Widow” fame, was on Tuesday night the guest at dinner and the theatre of Messrs. Frederick William Wile and A. C. Wilkiie, former colleagues on the staff of the Chicago Record. Mr. Ade left Berlin on Thursday to continue his tour around the world. Mrs. F. Sefton Delmer, wife of Professor Delmer, of Berlin University, leaves Berlin on January 31 on an extended visit, with her children, to her home in Melbourne, Australia. Mrs. Delmer will return to Berlin about next October. Mr. G. Valentine Williams has returned from a holiday visit to England. The American Woman’s Club held its annual gene ral meeting for the election of officers and committees last Wednesday morning. Much useful work was done. The morning’s proceedings opened with sk somewhat amusing incident when it was discovered by one of the ladies in attendance, Miss Maynard Butler, that under the Club’s Constitution no resolutions could be passed by the present meeting, since only fourteen • ladies were in attendance, while the num ber required to complete the Club quorum was twen ty. There was a certain amount of protest at this excessively parliamentary attitude, but Miss Butler carried her point, and energetic use of the Club tele phone finally brought a number of additional mem bers on the scene. Mrs. A. M. Thackara, President of the Club, an nounced that she had formally put before Mrs. David Jayne Hill, the wife of the Ambassador, the sugges tion that she, Mrs. Hill, should fill the position of Honorary President of the American Woman’s Club during her residence in Berlin. Mrs. Thackara then read a letter in which Mrs. Hill declined the courtesy tendered with cordial thanks. Mrs. Thackara was subsequently re-elected Presi dent, while the 1st and 2nd Vice-Presidents, Miss Molt and Mrs. J. P. Wisser, were also re-elected. A Committee has been formed to discuss arrange ments for holding a reception in honour of Mrs. David Jayne Hill. An important change was made in the Club Con stitution in the course of the meeting. The amend ment now voted makes it possible for foreign-born women who have become American citizens to be members of the Club. Thanks to the energetic and efficient work of Mrs. William C. Dreher, Chairman of the Nominating Com mittee, the vacant post of Recording Secretary, re garding which some anxiety had been felt, has now been filled. Mrs. Dreher has induced Miss Worfolk to undertake this onerous office. It is felt that no better choice could have been made in the interests of the Club. Years ago, prior to Mrs. Honan’s term of office, Miss Worfolk acted for some time in the capacity of Recording Secretary. Miss Amy Hare, the distinguished English pianist who is to give a recital to-night at the American Wo man’s Club for the benefit of that institution, will be heard in orchestral concerts during March and April, in Berlin, Munich, Dresden, and Leipzig. Miss Hare has a list of phenomenally eulogistic criticisms to show from American and English journals. The Washington Daily Post says: “It would hardly be going far enough to say that Miss Hare is a fine pianiste. Her execution is marvellous, and the pre cision that governs her every touch is wonderful. The Liszt “Rhapsodic Hongroise” has probably never before been played in Washington in such magnifi cent manner.” The London Standard speaks of Miss Hare as a “brilliant and powerful executant.” The Bonn-Zeitung says:—“The lady is a perfect mas ter of her instrument. The chief feature of her play ing, hjowever, does not lie in her virtuosity, but purely and entirely in her heartfelt conception of the music. In this conception lies such a mine of sympathetic power as is rarely possessed by feminine humanity. The English may well be proud of such a pianiste.” Sundays: Fridays: Holy Days: CHURCH SERVICES: BERLIN. S. George’s Church, Monbijou Garten.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT NEAR PARIS. Paris, January 7. During the trotting races at Vincennes today one of the trotters pulled his driver out of the trap and jumped the barrier. In the panic caused at the spot where this occurred, 15 people were injured, some of them seriously. Two women who were knocked down and trample^ upon are in a critical condition. THE NEAR EAST PROBLEM. SERVIAN PREMIER’S EXPLANATION. Belgrade, January 8. M. Milanowitsch, the Servian Minister for For eign Affairs, has informed the Austrian Ambassa dor in answer to his representations that his (the Minister’s) speech in the Skuptchina had no aggres sive tendency towards Austria-Hungary. He re gretted that his remarks on the Servian standpoint in the Bosnian question should have caused an im pression in Austria-Hungary that, he entertained feel ings of hostility to the Monarchy. He disapproved of the criticisms uttered by other speakers in the Skuptchina on the internal affairs of the Monarchy, as they were opposed to international usage. THE SYDNEY NAVAL DISASTER. MANY ACTS OF HEROISM. Sydney, January 7. The following details of the naval disaster at Sydney, already reported, have now transpired: About sixty men under Lieut. Dinwiddy, of the “En counter,” embarked at 6.30 a.m. on the pinnace which was towed by a naval steam launch, on board of which were the officers and a large party of Ma rines. The boats were connected by a sixty-foot towline. Near Macquarie’s Point the collier “Dun- more” was seen approaching. The launch towing the pinnace cleared the “Dunmore’s” bows. There were loud cries of “Cut the towline,” but the men in the pinnace saw the danger too late. Their frantic efforts to cut the rope failed, the pinnace was com pletely turned over, and the steamer passed on over the struggling crowd of 60 men, encumbered by their uniforms, belts, and water bottles. The cata strophe was immediately observed from the war ships. Within four minutes boats arrived on the scene. Despite strenuous efforts, however, it was found impossible to save all the men. Some must have been struck by the “Dunmore” and rendered insensible, while others were probably sucked down by the collier’s propeller as she forged past. Some men were saved iby the launch, and some by the “Dunmore’s” boat, while a number seized the col lier’s whaling piece and were helped on board. One sailor swam ashore. A notable feature of the ac cident was the way in which the men helped each other in the water, and many acts of heroism were performed. Four boats from warships with diving apparatus were promptly despatched. Body after body was brought to the surface. The police also dragged the harbour outside the range of the divers. Each corpse, as it was recovered, was wrapped in the Union Jack and placed under an awning on the “Encounter’s” deck, afterwards being removed to a improvised morgue on Garden Island, where sen tries with reversed arms kept guard. The last body was found at 5.30. The captain of the “Dunmore” says he blew his syren and slowed down his engines. Instead of keeping astern, the launch crossed his bow. (Continued on page 3.)
