Paris, July 31.-Rioting at Vigne-

rather serious situation owing to the
decision of the government to arrest
the leaders of the General Federation
of Labor, and to possibly suppress the
entire organization.
Reports agree the agitators delib-
erately melted their men to bloodshed
and the troops patiently submitted
for many hours to insults and stoning
before they fired, killing six men and
wOunding a large number. During the
night the city was placarded with in
fiammatory accounts of what is called
the government crime"
Strikers, carrying Socialistic en-
blems went to Vigneaux and paraded
the streets yesterday. Stones were
thrown at the troops which were sent
to disperse the rioters and the mani
festants, when attacked by the troops
using the fats of their sabers took
possession Of a building in course of
construction and showered down
stones on the heads of the soldiers
When driven from this position they
made barricades and hercely fought
the troopers. Several volleys were
fired. Six men were killed and many
wounded.

DEATHS INCREASING

Washington. July S1.-In response
to an invitation extended by the
United States government on behalf
Of the geological survey, Great Brit
ain Germany and Belgium will send
to this country next month their lead
ing experts in the prevention of mine
disasters to aid In the inauguration
OF the work of safeguarding the
mines here.
The negotiations were conducted
through the state department, and
word has been received from the Am
erican ambassadors at London and
Berlin and the American minister at
Brussels that the three countries have
acceded to the request OF the United
States and that the experts will be
granted a leave of absence for two
months.
The experts who will sail for New
York next month are Capt. Dasbor-
ough, inspector of explosives under
the home office, Great Britain; Herr
Meissner, head OF the German mine
service. and Victor Watteyne engi-
neer In chief, administration Of mines,
Belgium.
1t Ia expected the experts will reach
New York about the end OF August.
and go to Pittsburg, Pa, where the
United States geological survey is now
engaged in erecting a plant for the
purpose of conducting Investigations
into the cause of mine explosions. In
company with the expert In charge of
the technologic branch of the survey,
the party will visit the anthracite
fields Of Pennsylvania, the bituminous
fields OF western Pennsylvania, the
coal fields Of Illinois, Wyoming, Colo
rado, Alabama, West Virginia, and
Oklahoma, in order that they NAV
learn the conditions under which the
coal is mined I'm this country.
Experimental stations for the pre-
vention ~ disasters IN the mines have
been in operation for a number OF
years in each country represented by
the experts. with the result that the
death rate OF the mines has been re-
iuced to a minimum.
In the United states there have
been no Investigations along this line
and this country has a most unenvla-
BILE record OF deaths. the number kill
ed in the several states being from

Enthusiasts Want Competitive
Flight Between Aeropldne and

tional Capital II 1t Can
be Arranged

Washington, July 31.-As the day
approaches for the army tests Of dir
igible balloons and heavier -than-air
machines at Fort Myer, each day
gives further evidence of the interest
being taken in the problems of aerial
navigation. Where skepticism pre-
vailed when Prof. S. II. Langley was
conducting his experiments on the
Potomac river several years ago, to-
day the practical demonstration of a
trial flight has worked up a large
measure of expectancy in the public
mind.
The initial steps in the formation
of society, national in scope, for the
advancement of the science of aerial
navigation were taken in Washington
by a group of leading scientists. The
new organization, which Is to be
known as the National Aeronautical
society, will be the first of its kind
in America, although there are nearly
thirty aero clubs engaged in working
up public interest by exploiting the
practical advancement that already
has been made.
The Aero Club of America, repre-
sented by August Post of New York,
is here trying to arrange with Cap
tain Thomas 5. Baldwin a competi-
tive fight between the Baldwin dirig-
ible balloon and Henry Farnan's
aeroplane.
There are a number of difficulties
in the way of such competition, but
Mr.. Post is working with officials of
the war department and Captain
Baldwin to smooth them out. He may
succeed, but Farman will have to
come to Washington with his machine
if there is to be a race.
''The Aero Club of America" said
Mr.. Post in discussing his mission.
'is going to have Henry Farman
make exhibitions in the largest cities
throughout the country. These exhi-
billions are for the purpose of educat-
ing the people in the progress that
has been made in aerial navigation.
For the same purposes. We have de-
cided to have a joint competitive
flight between the Farman and Bald
win machines"
In the event that Captain Baldwin
fulfills all the requirements of the
contract with the government the
machine viii become a part of the
United States army equipment. 1t
would then become necessary to Sc
cure permission of General James
Allen. chief signal officer. to take the
dirigible to New York for the compet-
tive flight This probably would be
difficult to obtain. The Aero club
may determine to bring Henry Far
man 10 Washington to compete with
Baldwin before his machine is fully
accepted by the administration.
