 Italy.

New York Aug. I4.-Thirteen-year- old Francisco de Basce was indicted yesterday for manslaughter in the first degree. He built a fire in Fordham Park under the bench on which Mrs. Catherine Mccormick lay asleep. caus- ing her such severe injuries that she died.
 Things might have gone hard with the boy, but when he came up for plead ing in Judge Grains part of the Gen. eral Sessions, District Attorney Je- rome. who was taking some interest Tn the case, appeared to speak In his Ia vor
 sThls boy" said MT. Jerome, "had no appreciation of what he was doing. I have made a personal investigation of the case. From all I can gather, l judge that he built the fire of newspa- pers thinking only to frighten the wo- man. He had seen other boys do the same thing, build bonfires under sleep ing tramps in the park, he was merely initiating them.
 His parents live in Italy; he has only one relative in this country, a brother; I think what he needs Is some one to look after him, and I recommend that he be discharged and turned over to the Grey Society,""
 Following this recommendation Judge Grain handed over de Basce. who look ed much frightened, to Superintendent Jenkins of the Grey Society who said he would send him back to his parents.

WILL INVADE OHIO
BRYAN TO STEAK IN AFTs
 STATE
The NebrnsIxan Spent Qulet Day at FaIKvfew Yesterday and Was in
 Happy Frame of ff4 Mind

Lincoln, Neb.. Aug 1.-The prophecy Of State Commissioner W. J. Corners of New york that William Jennings Bryan would carry that State. the sending out from Chicago of a number of speakers to various sections of the country by the Democratic Na- tional Committee and the receipt of number of telegrams and letters of congratulations on his speech, all served to put the Democratic nominee for the presidency in a happy frame of mind today.
 weather, there was only a handful of visitors who rode out to Fairyiew, and this fact affofded Mir. Bryan a rare opportunity to continue work at lively pace on his speeches to be de- livered at Indianapolis and elsewhere. No such day or quiet has been experi- enced at the Bryan home for some time.
 Mir. Bryan Is awaiting replies to let- ters sent to different parts of the coun- try in response to invitations to speak before anno 1ncing the several dates and places which will be included in his forthcoming tour. It practically has been settled, however, that most attention will be given to Ohio. the native State of Mir Taft. and that the speeches of MT Bryan will be at cen- ters where it is deemed they will do the most good.
 This part of the program. 1t Is stat ed. is in the hands of Chairman Mack of the National Committee.

USE OF DIRIGIBLE
IS NOW THE QUESTION WITH ARMY
 OFFICERS.
VIII Probably be Taken to Fort Omaha for Training of 0fIicera of the Aeronaufteal
 Club

Washington. Aug. l4.--With every thing indicating the acceptance of the Baldwin military dlrigible balloon by the government interest centers to the uses to which the airship will be put after 1t becomes the property of tho signal corps. It now is evident that 1t will be uSed principally for training the officers and men of the aeronauti- cal division in the handling of diri- glble balloon, as the airship Is too small to be. of much practical value in actual warfare.
 When the big balloon plant now be- ing erected at Fort Omaha is complet- cd, the dirigible will be taken there. In the meantime. after the Wright Brothers and A. M. Herring have com- pleted the tests of their aeroplanes before the army board, Captain Bald win will train two officers. of the sig nal corps in the handling of the aerial craft.
 Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm. already we'll known for balloon work, and Lieu tenant Thomas D. Selfridge the aero pianist, both of the signal corps, prob- ably will be selected by General James Allen. chief signal officer, to handle the airship.
 Captain Baldwin made a very short flight in his dirlgible balloon at Fort Meyer this morning, but as q strong wind was blowing did not proceed far enough to make an official night He went up at s:3o o'clock and sailed over the parade grounds. but the board mo- tified him that if he crossed the start ing point the flight would be regarded as an official one. The wind not be- ing favorable. Captain Baldwin brought the balloon to the ground.

SPRINGFIELD ENLARGED
 BY CRIMINAL ASSAULT

detriment of the fair name of our state. We call on FairIey and his fol- lowers to indorse and help enforce the governors proclamation.
 We are paying a wage which enables any miner to make an average daily wage of s2.5o and over. as they were doing In June when this disturbance began. Fifty-five per cent. of the miners are negroes. We submit that there is no question as 10 our paying fair wages when such earnings are possible.
 As to Fairiey's claims that we are stealing from the miners by false weights. they are too absurd to dis- cuss. The weighing of all coal mined In this State is under State supervision. because the law requires the State mine inspectors to inspect and test all scales. We wish furthermore to point out that two out of three mine inspectors are ex-union miners. They surely ought to be able to take care of their men.
 Furthermore, the Alabama Coal op- orators Association pledges it's efforts to maintaining the fairest treatment toward It's miners in regard to this question of weights.
 We say. to you emphatically that the whole question. when bared to the nak- ed facts, Is this.
 Shall the United Mine workers of America. headed by men of the Fair- ley type. control cur mines. or ehall any man, who is desirous If working, be allowed to work at what seems to him a fair wage without his being dynamited. or shot from ambush. That's the question in a nutshell.
 We propose to run the mines of this district on an open shop basis. pay ing a fair wage at all times, and giy- ing honest weights. We can furnish, and are furnishing men to work the mines. and all we want Is what the Constitution guarantees. viz: protec- tion to life and property.
 If we cannot get this then we shall close down our works till such time as proper protection is afforded.
 We nave nothing to arbitrate and claim nothing more than the right to conduct our business in our own way In a lawful manner, and on an open shop basis guaranteeing a square deal to everyone of our en- pioyeg.

 It has been reported to me that the soldiers were in one car of the train, and that they were not permit ted to know what was in the other two cars. The train slowed down q few minutes before the shooting be- gan. Not single shot was fired from the train except by the soldiers
 We have not been idle. I have re- ceived reports that the blood hounds put on the trail of the culprits ran straight in the direction of the com panys commissary Then the dogs were taken off the trail.
 The so-called confessions were se- cured by cruelty whipping these poor. Ignorant foreigners. We know the ecuted. We also expect to prosecute the men who went into the homes of union miners and destroyed and seized their property. These things were done by deputy sheriffs.
 T shall appreciate it If you will say as coming from me that we are glad the soldiers are here. They are fine young gentlemen and they are doing their duty. The deputy sheriffs are alone responsible for the disorders in the district"
 MT. Lewis declared that the mine workers were prepared to continue the struggle two years. Indeed. he ex- pressed the belief that a year of siege was before them. The treasury of the miners was full of money, he said. and they could keep up an almost indef- nite season of likeness. They are buy Ing ground and building houses for the strikers. They are renting large tracts of land and caring for them in tents, and every family Is provided with It's daily food from cummissary which Is kept by the union at every camp.

 Az anchors were hoisted and the flagship pointed her nose toward the mouth of the harbor. pandemonlum reigned. The ship batteries belched for parting salutes, which were an swered by the American ships and the whistles and sirens of the excursion fiotflIa reacunded across the harbor and were re-echoed by the distant hills.
 The American ships were kept busy dipping their flags in answer to the salutations of the New zealanders. The fleet steamed with precision Of alignment out of the haFbor and many of the excursion craft followed t far to sea.
 The sight when the ships left their anchorage was a magnificent one. the fiagship Connecticut turning ana stearuine between the lines of hattle-. ships which turned In order and fol- lowed her to sea

 Your all too short visit to New zea- land unquestionably has drawn the people os the United States and this country nearer together"
