ACCIDENT
TO FRAvI0LA.
Ball Falls With Ser
iOus Though Not
Fatal Effect.

ground an accident occurred
which nearly resulted in a
fatality. Fraviola, known in
private life as Miss Belle Nor
ton, the winsome miss who
makes the loop the loop, en-
cased in wooden ball, was the
victim. Fraviola ascends a
tramway 100 feet long and six
ty feet high, is locked in a hol-
low sphere three and a half
feet in diameter, and when the
word is given the ball is start
ed on its perilous descent. From
the time il starts from the top
until it makes the round OF the
% foot steel loop and is caught
in the basket at the other end,
Fraviola turns seventy-six re-
volutions in the short space of
six seconds. Last night now
ever, owing to the breaking OF
a guy line on the loop the mo-
ment the ball struck it, Fra
viola was thrown from the top
of the loop to the track below.
She was lifted from the ball in
an unconscious condition, car
ried to a nearby tent and a
physician summoned. Later
she was able to be removed to
the carnival train.
The "loop the loop" is real.
~ the most dangerous exhibi-
tion featured by any company
today As matter of fact
there have been only two loops
in successful operation this sea-
san, the bicycle loop with the
Forepaugh & Sells show and
the ball loop with the Collins
Carnival Go. Miss Norton has
certainly had her share Of grief
in the peculiar profession she
has chosen. When Fraviolleta,
her predecessor, was killed in
Falls City, Neb., last July, Miss
Norton volunteered to make
the loop and was given a trial
trip at four O'Clock in the morn
ing. Her second descent was
not so successful as the ball
jumped from the top Of the
loop, made kindling wood Of
lower section of the tramway |
and sent the girl to the hospital
for two weeks.
The aext attempt she made |
was at Hamburg, Iowa, and
this time the ball jumped from
the top OF the loop, opened up
and spilled Fraviola, head
downward on the iron track.
This time she was picked up for
dead, bat fortunately the fall
resulted only in bad bruises and
A severe shock to the nervous
system. She reioined the com
pany at Omaha, August first
and has made the loops success:
fully until last night. Althoug

TROUBLE.
CONFERS WITH SENATOR'S
Teller and Patterson This Morning
Visited the President With An APP
peal to Which He Answered That
He Has No Right to Interfere.

Washington, Dec. T.-An appeal

day by Senators Teller and Patterson,
urging him to exercise federal authori-
ty in bringing about an adjustment of
the situation which has arisen be-
tween the miners and the authorities
of Colorado. At the conclusion of the
conference the senators sent the fol-
lowing telegram to President Meyer, of
the Western Federations of Miners:
'The President states to lis that un-
der present conditions he has neither
the power nor the right to take such
action as you request"
1T is said the form of the telegram
was agreed to by President Roosevelt.

TOO MUCH LEARNING
SUPERINTENDENT BARRETT AS.
SIGNS ODD CAUSE FOR SMALL
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

Des Moines, Dec. Too much intel
lectuality and education is responsible
for the steady decrease in school popu-
lation in Iowa, according to the bien-
nial report of R. C. Barrett, state
superintendent of public instruction.
For several years there has been a
startling falling off in Iowa's school
census, despite the Inauguration of a
compulsory education statute and a
crusade by President Roosevelt in ia
or of big families.
Each succeeding report of the state
superintendent has brought forth a
large amount of comment from nu-
merous educational and philosophical
societies and also from women's clubs
throughout the state.
Small Families Favored.
Superintendent Barrett hitherto re-
Trained from commenting on the sit
uation or attempting an explanation,
and that suggested by him this year
is a novel one. The record shows that
the enrolment for 1903 in the public
schools was only 550.202 as against
560,1T the year before. The high
mark was reached in 1900, when the
enrolment was $4,000.
The loss has been yariously ex-
planned in the past, but Superintendent
Barrgett makes the. explanation that
the tendency where literature is high
is to have small families. Children
are unpopular Where education is ad-
vanced among people.

them before the leaders reached the
struggling mass on the track. In the

excitement but after several minutes
order was restored and the race was
resumed.
