All day groups of Long islanders
searched the country round ABOUT
Jones Beach for the missing aeronaut,
hoping against hope that he had found
safety. A government tug patroled the
sea off shore on the chance that the
balloon had been carried oceanward,
a dragnet was thrown out in search,
but II was not until 6 o'clock at night,
when the tide had gone out, that Cap
tain George Smith of Amityville,
securing the marsh, located the dead
sculptor-aeronaut in the waters OF
Cats Island.
Took the Only Fatal Course.
Almost any course but the one
which he adopted would have led the
man to safety. Had he remained with
his balloon sought the Jones Beach
life-saving station or travelled to the
west his adventure would have ended
without fatality.
Ii was his sixteenth ascension. The
other fifteen had been accomplished
without hitch. The sixteenth was
successful up to the point where he
brought his balloon to earth on the
edge of the Atlantic. Then it was
that the impetuosity of his nature got
the better of his judgment and put an
end to a career Of highest promise.

Sioux Falls, s. D.-The United

Operators Send Letter to Presiden,
Mitchell and Striking Miners.
New York.--A subcommittee of
operators of the anthracite coal
carrying railroads and mine operators
held meeting in this city Tuesday
and drew up a letter to President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America in which the
operators again declare that there is
nothing TO arbitrate except the ques-
tion whether there shall be any arbi-
tration. This reply is made in re.
sponse to President Mitchells recent
amended proposition of arbitration.
The operators do not, however, refuse
point blank to accept MIR. Mitchell's
latest plan. They assert that all the
differences between the miners and
their employers have been decided by
the strike commission and that there
Is no reason why another attempt
should be made to arbitrate them.
The fundamental principles re-
garding the conduct of this business
have all been established by the
strike commission" the operators de

Mine Workers and Operators Reach
Parting of the Ways.

Parting of the Ways.
New York.-At the meeting of the
sub-committees of the anthracite mine
workers and operators here Thursday
the representatives, of the employees
offered the mine owners the choice of
two propositions in their endeavor to
come to an amicable agreement and
the employers made an informal reply
in which they intimated that they are
not likely to accept either of the wage
workers offers. The operators will
make an official answer to the miners
latest proposition by letter and there
will be no further meetings unless
something develops. The meeting did
not bring the contending parties closer
together, If the operators should de-
cline entertain either of the propo-
sitions submitted by the miners
It is probable convention of miners
will be called at which the delegates
will declare that strike exists.
Briefly stated, the offer made by
President Mitchell was a resubmission
OF the miners original demands with
two amendments and in case they are
not accepted he proposes that the
whole controversy be placed before
the strike commission

 TO CLEAN ARIZONA CANAL-The farmers under the Arizona canal held meeting at Glendale Tuesday night to devise a plan for the cleaning of that ditch in some cooperative way, as in dicated recently in these columns. The result of the meeting was decision to ask each water user to contribute 20 cents an acre in either cash or work, to that end. Copies of a subscription blank were drawn up and will be cir culated among the farmers. Town res idents interested, who desire to sign it, can find copy of the agreement at the board of trade room. Its text is as fol- lows: we, the undersigned, water users under the Arizona canal and members of the Arizona Canal Water Users association, recognizing the ne- cessity of cleaning the canal west of Center street, in order to secure the best advantage from the water carried in the canal. do hereby pledge our selves, each for himself. to subscribe in labor, or in cash, toward the carry ing out of such work at the rate of twenty (2O cents) cents an acre for our holdings of stock in the Arizona Canal Water Users association.

his charge. By that time he began to appreciate that the best place for an American was under the flag so he stayed on this side. While loafine around Tampa anxiously waiting for his cargo of tobacco, he became an ob- ject of suspicion. The insurgent spies were not sure what his lay was and didn't like the interest he was taking in things. The friends of Mr. Palma's government were likewise in doubt about the honesty of his intentions so they appealed to the American off cers saying they thought he was a sort of perambulating junta and was engaged in financing the revolution and furnishing it with munitions of war. He was taken into custody for an examination. They couldn't find even a machine gun about his clothes nor in his grip. Beside that he had cold feet which didn't indicate that he was favoring either side. Al ter feeling his pulse they asked about his sympathies. He said that he didn't have any; he was from Ari- ona. Next they asked him about the sympathies of the fighting men in Ari- ona and he said they were with who- ever put up the best front. He said there were ten regiments of rough rid CTS in Arizona and they were willing to fight with whichever side had the most money. But he said he wasn't one of them and didn't want to fight at all. Then they released him and he went to New Orleans and got a column and a half out of the Daily Democrat.
 MT. Seip arrived here in good health except that he was tired out and very nervous. He was dozing in the smok- ing car yesterday morning when the conductor called out Tempe" He reused himself suddenly and looked out the window to see if he could see the ocean.
