NEW YORK, July 1S.--It came out
today that Mrs. Coils p. Huntington
paid $4,000 for her copy, not yet u e.
livered, of Town Topics book, "Fads
and Fancies.''s
Besides the refusal of the Town
Topics people to let the district attor-
ney see all its books-a refusal that
will be followed by an invocation of
the grand jury's powers to inquire
the most interesting of today's de-
velopments, as an indication of the
temper of the sufferers, was the ap-
pearance of William R. Travers at the
district attorneys office In the last
number of Town Topics there were
several paragraphs congratulating his
wife on getting divorce. 1t referred
to him as social outcast," so far as
the Vanderbilt, Astors, Harrimans
and others were concerned. and said
Newport society has decided that
Travers, as a husband, has grown inn
possible
Travers thought the article offered a
basis for criminal action for libel. but
after looking it over Assistant District
Cans decided otherwise
Assistant District Attorney Krotel
began to examine the books of Town
Topics this afternoon but his examina-
tion was blocked. He was not allowed
to see what disbursements were made
to Presiding Justice Deuel. but every
thing else. apparently, was free to his
inspection. AS a result 1t is quite
probable that Presiding Justice Deuel.,
w. L. Daniels. secretary and treasurer
of Town Topics. and Moses Ellis
Wooster, who got subscriptions for
Town Topics book and then started the
Society Editors association, will be
subpoenaed to appear before the grand
jury tomorrow or Thursday.
Before Krotel went to the Town
Topics office he had visit from
Wooster, who produced contract he
had for getting subscriptions for '.Fads
and Fancies." The contract is dated
April a. 1901. Up to date not a single
copy Of "Fads and Fancies' has
reached any subscriber. The contract
was signed by Mann for Town Topics
and by Wooster. 1t was signed in the
presence Of Deuel., but he is not a party
to 1t as an individual After turning
over the contract to Krotel, Wooster
said he had already got about $4,000.
IF Justice Deuel. says he has not
got anything personally 1t is because a
final division will not be made until
all expenses have been paid" said
Wooster. He mentioned casually that
the lowest sum paid for HFads and
Fancies" was $500. Some Of the sub
scribers put UP $4,000. some $4,000. Others
$1,000 and some even as high as $1O.O 900.
"Who put up $lO,ooO?' he was asked.
"Why Mrs. Coils P. Huntington, +"
replied Wooster.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 1S.-The
sight of the airship "Angelus' floating
over the city this Afternoon created
a great sensation. Manned by Lincoln
Beach, the airship ascended from the
Lewis and Clark exposition grounds,
and to all appearances was at first un-
der the control of the aeronaut, but 1t
soon developed that the propeller which
pulls the ship forward was not working
at full speed. and, borne by light
northerly wind, the Angelue sailed over
the city in the direction of Oregon
City.
Finding that he was unable to get
full power from his motor the aeronaut
sought convenient landing place.
Gradually the airship descended over
Ross Island, in the Willamette. and as
the ship approached land Captain
Beach threw out the graphing line,
bringing the airship to a standstill.
Later the airship was towed up the
river to a better landing place. Just
what will be done to get the ship back
into the aerodrome at the exposition
grounds has not been determined.
G. L. Tomlinson, an aeronaut of
Syracuse. N. Y. arrived here today
with his working model airship. Mr..
Tomlinson expects to make several
flights from the Lewis and Clark expo
sition grounds shortly and is nego-
tiating with Captain Baldwin, owner
of the Angelue. for a series of races
to test the merits OF their respective
air navigators.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-The assault up
on Michael Donnelly and the smashing
of the ballot boxes last Sunday at the
Federation of Labor election by the So
called wrecking committee, are not to
be permitted to pass as family quar-
rel. The state attorney and the city
police will commence an investigat alton
Of the "Kuklux'' affair at once.
All the labor leaders whose names
have been mentioned in connection
with the affair are to be subpoenaed
to appear before the state attorney for
a thorough examination.
Detectives, will be sent to round up
members of the old labor machine
gang who said they would either "rule
or ruin" the central labor body.
If the judges and clerks of the cleo
ton who saw the raiders in broad day
light refuse to identify them, they are
liable to be suspected as parties to the
plot in which Donnelly so nearly lost
his life.
The effort by the rank and file of the
union men to hurl the 'wrecking
crews" and the assassins from their or
der is being stoutly resisted by num-
ber of so-called leaders. Men who pose
as representatives of unions are rally
ing as openly in defense of the hired
ruffians who tried to beat Donnelly to
death as the men whom they falsely
pretend to represent are struggling to
tear the secret of the crime from the
lips that are at present sealed.

and the roll of fatalities must neces-

Today all records for the summer
were broken in point of high temper
ature, but mercifully the humidity was
correspondingly less.
Only for this the total prostrations
and deaths must have been doubled.
In New York the suffering was in

tenement districts, where scarcely
breath Of air relieved the sitting at

ford the holiday focked to the beaches,
but in the consequent crowds women
and children tainted and men were
overcome, making the trip from home

To add to the unavoidable physical
suffering, Brooklyn was threatened
