WILD AUTOMOBILE
ESCAPES CHAUFFEUR
Mr.. AND MRS. CHARLES FAIR KILLED
IN ACCIDENT NEAR PARIS
RELATIVES FRUSTRATED.
IBY ASSOCIATED PRrSs. j

Paris, August I5-Charlcs Fair and
wife were killed in a runaway automobile
accident yesterday afternoon.
The accident occurred at ago
o'clock, almost in front of the Chateau
Buisson du Mai. The Fairs intended to
dine and spend the night in Paris and re-
turn to Trouville for lunch tomorrow The
wife of the gate keeper OF the chateau was
the only witness to the disaster. She says
she noticed a big red automobile coming
along the road al tremendous pace. Sud
denly something happened and the heavy
machine slid sidewise from the right to
the left side Of the road for about 90 yards.
When the automobile turned over the
wife of the gate keeper says she saw Mr..
and Mrs. Fair thrown high in the air and
fall with heavy thud to the ground. The
chauifer, who was sitting behind the Fairs,
was precipita,ed into ditch. He staggered
to his feet calling for help. The pate
keepers wife rushed to his assistance and
aided him in cxtricating Mr.. and Mrs.
Fair, who were buried beneath the
wrecked machine and in the last throes OF
death. Both had sustained ghastly in
jnrics and were almost unrecognizable.
Mr.. Fairs head had been crushed in while
his wife's skull was split.
Mrs. Herman Oelrich. elder sister of
Charles Fair, was @out driving when the
news reached her that her brother and his
wife had been killed in an automobile ac-
cident in France, says Herald special

HOW MONTANA BAND CAME
TO GIVE UP IN CONTEST
Especial to Inter Mountain. ]

Salt Lake, August I5.-Santriano's band
oil Denver won first prize III the final band
competition yesterday without opposition,
the Boston & Montana band having with
drawn from the contest. The Butte band
claimed that the prize should go to them
on account OF their superior markings in
the finals at Liberty park, Wednesday
evening, when the judges gave them a
score of 1863 to Denver's Iss.
The Montanans coa,emded that the
"Tannhauser Overture alone should de-
termine the award without reference to the
preliminary contests. The result was
withdrawal AT the last moment before
playing of the tie at Saltair late in the
afternoon.
The circular upon which the Montana
boys based l..eir argument was widely dis
tributed at the contests, and read in part
as follows 1T is the intention, in the
first adjudication. TO eliminate approxi-
mately one-hal fof the competing bands,
so much depends upon the first selection.
The remaining one-half of the bands will
compete in the second preliminary"
"1he wording of the circular is per-
fectly obvious on this point" said Band
master Samuel II. Trcloar. when we
entered the preliminary contest we decided
it was only necessary to play well enough
to qualify for the finals of which we felt
confident. If we had known that the
marks were being saved up to count in
the grand total we might have been far
more careful in the selection of the first
number and in the manner of rendering
it."
"The test piece for all bands in the final
competition is Tannhauser Overture by
Wagner. Should there be tie in the
points made, or should the adjudicators be
unable to award the prizes, the bands tied
will be required to play h'rrec Dances from
music to Henry VIII by German"

STRANGE INCREASE
PUzzL|NC DOCTORS
PERCENTAGE OF INSANE CASES AT
NEW YORK HOSPITALS LARGER
THAN 1T HAS EVER BEEN.
Inv ASSOCIATED rpfss.I

New York, August i5.--ln the last three
days, 81 persons suffering from mental
arrangement, were admitted 10 the Belle
vue hospital insane pavilion. The usual
daily average is less than three. Ihe
physicians are unable to account for the
increase. They say that so far this
summer there has been no weather hot
enough to send the average above the nor
NAL point. They also are puzzled by the
fact that Fl of the 81 patients are women
and the further fact that few Of those
admitted are alcoholic patients.
On Tuesday the first signs OF the in
crease were manifest. Some Of the per
sons received were taken from police
courts. A few were admitted Of their own
volition and others were admitted on per-
mits issued by the superintendent Of the
Outdoor poor. 1t is "A remarkable fact
that the majority Of the patients are un-
usually violent and the attendants have
had practically no rest for three months.

Montana Elks Are Met at De-

Taken Up Town.
SPECIAL CARS PROVIDED
FOR THE PRIZE WINNERS
Band Did Not Sulk at Final Contest, but
Thought II Useless to Contend, az
They Had Done Their Best at First
Trial--What Salt Lake Folk Think Of
the Treasure State Delegation.

When the Elks reached the Oregon Short
Line depot this afternoon they found a
warm welcome awaiting them. Manager
Wharton had four special cars in readiness
and in one which was superbly decorated,
the Boston & Montana band was asked to
ride in triumph to the city.
Of course, the first question was "How
did you come to take second money at the
band contesti"
After the first contest il was hundred
to one shot that we had won," said one Of
the Elks. "Those who had an opportunity
of witnessing the immense crowd that
gathered at Liberty park to hear the great
bands of the West compete will never for
get it. Rarely in mans life does he get
an opportunity to listen to such contest.
salt Lake people place great confidence
in the ability of the three men who COM
posed the adjudicating committee. They
were Ellis Brooks, Anton Peterson and ].
]. Mcclellan. Professor Mcclellan is one
of the finest organists in the United States
and at the exercises in the tabernacle he
performance.
Thought They Had II.
There was a general impression that
two members of the committee stood for
giving the Boston & Montana band the
prize at the end of the first contest and
in counting the marks on which the con-
test was decided, it was thought that our
band had won hands down. There was
hardly question Of their superiority
among the great audience. They con-
cluded that we had won, and not even the
ardent supporters OF the Denver band
would maintain after the trial that they
had show for the money.
There was no such thing as sulkiness
on the part of the band management when
it was decided to refuse to enter a second
time. 1t was considered the best thing to
do under the circumstances, as Sam Ire
loar and all who heard his band believed
that there was sufficient opportunity to de-
eide on the first trial.
incidentally | might mention that we
got 81 900 for the best appearance in the
parade. Never was money more easily
earned or more readily spent. Just ask
John Kirk, he can tell you how it went
and how we had several thousand dollars
worth Of fun out of it."
Notwithstanding the strenuous expert
ences which the Elk uniforms had they
looked gay and nice on their return.
IF | could only get paid for wearing
good clothes like this all the time I'd be
satisfied" said Alderman Bachelor.
"Some of us old ducks felt 70 years
younger when we marched along and heard
pretty girls cheer us OH the line Of march.
There is much celebration still going on in
the city as the Elks from other parts of
the state are being entertained by the
Butte brethren"
At $40 this afternoon the Elks' special
pulled into the Oregon Short Line depot.
Not less than 1000 people had gathered
to greet the antlered herd returning. They
came up town in hurrahing procession,

States. Several of them have come to
Rome personally for the purpose of urging
their requests. A reply has been sent to

ten,on to the difficulty arising from the
fact that the expelled sisters do not speak
the English language.
Canada has been suggested as better
field as sisters are comparatively scarce
there and because French is spoken in a

cants, however, did not take kindly to the
suggestion and persist in their request to

OF BABY L0BSTERS,no
Government Fish Commission Can
Now Turn Out go, 10000
Each Year.

WRITTEN FOR II SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Reports from many places along the New
England coast speak OF unusual numbers
of small Holsters observed by fishermen. 1t
is news that gives much encouragement to
the Government fishery experts. who hope
that the efforts they have been making
curing the last half dozen years to propa-
sa;e these crrstaceans by artifce are at
last yielding results.
During the carly summer of the present
year a stronger endeavor than ever before
will be made to push the enterprise ahead.
and 1t is expected that 1SO, $780, of baby
Holsters will be liberated in the ocean.
Hitherto the only lobster hatchery has
been located at Woods Holl. where the
United States Fish Commission has one of
its most important stations. but a bill re-
Gently passed by Congress provides 70. the
establishment of another one on the coast
of Maine. This will render it poss- bic for the
Government to turn out from N0,OOo,cO to
go, eSO,0N young Holsters every year. In
fact, the possible output Is SO immense that
the depleted lobster fishery could be re-
stored in a very short time and the species
made much more plentiful than ever. but
for the difficulty of keeping the fry" in
confinement until they are a few weeks
old.
Recent experiments made by Professor
Bumpus. at Woods HoI. however, appeal
to have solved the problem. 1t has been
found that. by providing large Enclosures
of very pure sea water, epidemics may oe
avoided tthe fungus germs that cause dis
eases being excluded. and that the young
Holsters will not eat each other IL they are
supplied with plenty of chopped crab meat
and other food such as they like.
1t IL found that under such conditions
Holsters can be easily raised from the egg
to the age of I weeks. at which period they
assume their adult form-having previously
been free swimming. shrimplike creatures
and when consigned to the ocean are able
to take care of themselves.
Many experiments have been made in the
fesding of young Holsters, and 1t has been
found that they will accept yoiks Of hard
