WASHINGTON. D. c., October B.-
BY authority OF =. I'ierpont Morgan, who
! with his partner, Robert Bacon. and Sec,
retary Root. were In conference with
President Roosevelt at the temporary.
White House tonight for an hour and q,
half. a statement was given out by Sec.
retary Cortelyou, in which the presidents
of the coal carrying railroads and uiEd
operators propose commission OF hve
persons to adjust the differences and
settle the coal strike in the anthracito

sition is believed by the Administrations
to be satisfactory to the miners.

originally formed in the bitumin0us coa1-
ara miners OF bituminous coal, and btu

with anthracite coal. The remaining
workmen in tho anthracite fields eithes

ERONAUT FALLS
FROM HIS BALLOON
De Bradsky, a Wealthy Hunga-
rian, Loses His Life w ith a
Companion Near Paris.
(By Associated Press

PARIS, October 13.-De Bradsky. the bal
1oonist, and NJ. Norm, his engineer were
killed by falling from dirigible balloon
to-day. The balloon started from the
aerosttaic station at Vauierard, a suburb
! Of this city. at 7:55 A. NJ. on trial trip.
After preliminary manoeuvering. with a
rope attached, N. De Bradsky released the
balloon and proceeded southwark at a
height of 800 or 400 feet. The propellers
Of the machine appeared to work we'll.
The rudder, however, was not quite sue
cessful. At about 9:20 the balloon had
returned to above the point OF departure,
and then it mounted higher and higher
until it disappeared in the clouds.
The prefect Of police later received a
dispatch announcing the fall of the ball
loon car near ST. Denis. five and half
miles from the center Of Parts, and add
ing that its two occupants were killed.
The accident occurred t about $50
When the balloon was above Stain,
near st. Denis. the ropes attaching the
car to the balloon broke for some un-
known cause. and the car with Its oc-
dashed to the ground, and the aeronauts
met instant death. The balloon itself
disappeared in the clouds.
The ca atastrophe sent a thrill OF horror
through Paris. following the disaster to
Servero, the Brazilian aeronaut. who was
killed May Sth, and whose balloon start
ed from the same shed. in southern
quarter of Paris. as did De Bradsky's
balloon. The principle Of the latter's
ship had been warmly discussed. and It's
ascent was awaited with the keenest in
sterest. number of aeronaut friends OF
.DeBradsky, and the latter's wife, were
present at the start AZ
De Bradsky was Hungarian, baron,
Ithirty-six years OF age, rich and clever,
and had been in the diplomatic service.
He made his first ascension In 1901.
NORM was his engineer He leaves a
widow and three children.
Il La Chambre, the constructor Of the air
ship, says he had no confidence In the
mechanical part Of the air ship, but says
the balloon had perfect stability and con-
stituted real progress. inasmuch as there
was no pitching or sudden shocks. The
defects were that the car was toe light.
and that the motor and guiding screws
were 10 veal. 81

cursien tickets issued by the Pennsyi-
vania, Southern. Baltimore and Ohio. and

they were pursuing legal licensed
brokerage business. and that the rail-
roads in combining In the esta blishment
OF a joint ticket agency here during the
encampment for the vtseing OF return
ticlets etc, violated the Sherman anti

BUSINESS SPURTS
FOR FREAK REASONS
Many Glasses q. Enterprises Have
FIourished in Richmond Be.
cause Of fAbnorma Conditions

This fall in the business world has been
almost without precedent. Business en-
terpriscs for the most part have been
prospering .and yet some few have not
beer, so very much so and for interesting.
almost freak, reasons.
The representative of a certain shoe
factory said yesterday that at his house
cyders were SO far ahead that no one
could get shoes for year unless extra
money was paid for them. This showed
the conSested condition of things there.
What was said about the shoe business
can be said about a great many other en-
terplises.
Rut the insurance agents say this fall
has been quieter than usual.
Why is this?'' an insurance agent was
asked yesterday.
81 think it is on account of the losses
in stocks this fall" he replied. Rich
mond people have been bitten consider
ably this fall. Stocks have fluctuated
more than usual, and the fact that the
people have had more money than usual
has been a reason for heavier investments
in securities. It has taken money from
the usual solid real estate investments
in the hope Of realizing faster. But in
many instances money has been lost. In
surance men believe that this loss of
money has caused many people of the
city who had expected to take insurance
had the margins been all right to decline
to do 80 because they We're not all right.
The stove manufacturing business has
gone beyond all records for success. The
Richmond factories have been going night
and day. making heaters which use gas
and wood, particularly the latter. The
strike has caused an Unprecedented de-
n:and for wood heaters and enither can.
the factories supply the demand Of the
dealers nor the dealers the demand Of the
customers.
Real esta te has not been so active this
fall! People have had money, but wish
ing to turn 1t over quickly, have put it
In stocks rather than real estate Many
lost, and now there isn't much to put in
real estate. But there is plenty Of money
IL tho banks yet, just waiting for sure
