Wholesale Arrests In Paris.

Paris, July 15.-Wholesale arrests OF
anti-militsrist leaders are being made
today as a result of yesterdays attempt
by Leon Maile on President Fallieres' s
life.
Alienists who have examined Maille
are inclined to confirm the authorities
original surmise that the man is mentally
unbalanced; and that no plot existed
among the snti-militarists 10 assassinate
the president.
The attempt has caused great alarm,
however, and anti-mililsrists' activity is
blamed for arousing such popular dis
content as to inspire hot-headed malcon-
tents to plan murder.
Before an examining magistrate last
night and today Maille told rambling
stories of personal prosecution. He is a
naval reservist from Hsvre. He is be-
lieved to have taken part in the seamen's
recent strike and to have been crazed by
the excitement of the struggle.

TIE SCENES last Saturday night in
Roanoke are calculated to bring the
blush of shame TO the cheeks Of all law
abiding Virginians. Mob law, it seems,
was in evidence nearly all night, the
mayor, police justice and other officials
having in the meantime been set at
defiance, insulted and assaulted. The
trouble is said TO have originated over a
iYe-ceut sandwich, which resulted in
wsntOn attacks on shops conducted by
Greeks. About one thousand persons
participated in the disorders. The spirit
of lawessness seems TO be pervading the
entire civilized world and the distemper
is gradually pervading the Old Dc
miuion. la the face of the present order
of things, the query, "Whither are We
drifting" is pertinent.

An Aeronaut,s Terrible Experience

An AerOnaut's Terrible Experience.
New York, July Suffering intenss
pain from terrible burns received 5000
feet above the earth, when, shot from q
cannon attached to balloon, his cloth
ing caught fire, but glad even to be
alive, Eugene Raymond, an aeronsut,
is slowly recovering today after what
almost proved to be fatal aerial trip.
Clinging to the trapeze Of his para
chute although his fight toward the
earth only famed the flames into fiercer
blaze, Raymond was able by sheer grit
to save his life. 1t is not believed his
injuries will prove fatal.
SO high up in the air was Raymond
when the accident occurred that few Of
the thousands of spectators of his ascen-
sion from Hillside Park, N. j., knew
anything had gone wrong until today.
The flames had burned themselves out
before the aeronaut landed.
An error in touching the wrong spring
in the cannon in which Raymond made
the ascension was responsible for his
swfal experience. Raymond and the
parachute were inside the cannon"
which took the place of basket at

was arranged to shoot him out of the
cannon, and as he left it another spring
would discharge load of powder Great
ing the Illusion that it had actually
blown him out of the cannon. Raymond

plosion fired he clothing about his feet.
Fearing the parachute would catch fire
if he shot the ether spring, Raymond
was forced to endure the pain until he
safely set himself free.
For several hundred feet as he dropped

AFTER more than year and half OF
investigation and digestion, the Inter
state Commerce Commission has made
public the results of the Chairman in-
quiIy." In the report Mr.. Hartman Is
Ecsthiugly condemned for bis "inde-
feasible finance" in the scaudalous AL
ton deal, where he and his associates
made 3 profit Of $32, 600, 600 cut of the
decentralization and then took 80 per
cent. dividend from the proceeds Of a
bond sale, and is charged with having
planned 10 acquire control Of every foot
of railroad property in the United States
but no recommendation is made with re-
gard to prosecution Of Mr.. Hartman or
suit for dissolution of his system, That
is left to the President. The members
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
concur unanimously in the report, which
was written by Commissioner Lane, but
but it is understood that there is a divis-
ion of opinion among them as to whether
hir. Hartman can be prosecuted. There
fore they merely render report OF their
investigation, and send copies of it to
the President and to the Attorney Gen
eral. Toe report shows what has been
the Hartman policy. This wss-and
apparently is TO buy a railroad, reor-
ganiz9 it, recapitalizs it, issue bonds,
and use the money 50 raised to buy an
other railroad. This railroad in turn 10
be reorgsnized, recapitalzed and mort
gagged for more money TO buy more rail-
roads, ad ipfnitum, or until, in the fulfil
ment of the imperial plans in the brain
OF Hartman, he should have beneath
his JEALOUS sway every railroad property
between the Canadian border snd the
Mexican frontier. According to the re-
port Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission:
Mr.. Hartman may journey by steam
ship from New York to New Orleans,
and thence by rail to San Francisco,
across the Pacific Ocean to China, and,
returning by another route to the United
States, may 90 to Ogden, Utah, by any
one Of three rail lines, and thence 10
Kansas CITY or Omaha, without leaving
the deck or platform of carrier which
he controls and without duplicating any
part Of his journey.
The conclusion drawn by the commits
sion is that the joining of the Southern
Pacific ard Union Pacific has resulted
in stamping out transcOntinental and
trsnspacifc competition in the carrying
trade. The Recommendations are that
railroad corporations business should BE-
couhned to transportation and it should
no. invest generally in the securities OF
other carriers; that railroad is acting
unlswfully and against public policy in
acquiring control Of parallel and COM
peting lines; and that the time has come
for legislation to control the issue of Sc
curities by railroads engaged in inter
state commerce.
