A FR|GHTFUL HUNT
 AFTER PANAMA GOLD
The Experience of Party Without Guides Among Hostile Indians.

New York, Nov. 12.-Baron F. B von Teuber, who arrived here today on the steamer Magdalena from West Indian ports. told a thrilling story of a gold hunting expedition in Panama, north of the canal zone which resulted in the death of three members of the party.
 The baron with his brother and three mining engineers, left this city several months ago for the gold fields in the northern part of the isthmus, and finally started with two Indians as guides north from Colon, through what proved to be a country jealously held by exceeding hostile Indians
 A midnight encounter resulted in the fatal shooting of the Indian guides. Left thus in a strange and practically trailless country they wandered help lessly. The three engineers were soon stricken with frightful levers The baron and his brother however made for the coast, with the sick men, en- cOuntering constant hardships.
 John Bradley, one of the engineers died on a boat they had hastily con- structed. but Fred Smith and Peter Bartlett were taken to a hospital and are recovering.

NORMAL IS A CLOSE SECOND
High School Students Attend the Fair In a Body and Cheer On the Coyotes to Victory--Normal Puts Up a Plucky Fight.

Two territorial school records were broken yesterday at the interscnolastic athletic events at the fair grounds. Both of which were captured by the Phoenix high school Coyotes" The half mile run was made by Stroud of Phoenix in 2:O5, which clips five sec onds from the Arizona school record and one second from the California record. Three fifths of a second was shipped off the record for the 22O yards dash by Corpstein of Phoenix who did the trick in 2S flat.
 The athletic events began at 1 pm. Just beyond the tracks and directly op- posite the grand stand. Although the results were announced from the grand stand little of the contest between Phoenix high school and Tempe normal could be seen without crossing the tracks and running the risk of being run down by one of the race horses. Still a large and very enthusiastic crowd of young people surrounded the contestants and sections of the grand stand were given over to the students of the schools represented in the events School yells varied with class songs. let everybody know that the students were present in a body. In addition to his numerous other duties, Rube Shields acted as yell master for Phoe- nix high.
 The contest soon developed into a struggle between Tempe normal and Phoenix, as it soon appeared that the other schools were out-classed as whole, though some of their individual contestants did excellent work. An hour and a half after the events be- gan it looked like a close finish as the points then stood 23 for Phoenix and 21 Tempe
 The work of Corpstein. Stroud and Smith of Phoenix were the features of the day, Corpy in particular coming to the front whenever he felt he was real ly wanted.
 The final scores were Phoenix, 39 points; Tempe Normal, 33; the Indian School, 12; and points made by the Evans school.
 The events follow:
 One hundred yard dash-First. Corp stein. Phoenix; second. Higley. Phoe- nix: third, Sheldon, Tempe Normal. Time 10 1-5 seconds.

THERE ARE OTHER RUMORs
As to What William Will Do In the Case of the Severe Criticism Which the Reich stag Has Been Directing Against Him.

Berlin, Nov 12.-Five members of the foreign affairs committee of the federal council held a meeting today and discussed recent events. The as sembling of this committee is a rare occurrence and much interested spec ulation was aroused by an intimatiol that the meeting was called with the idea of taking some step to prevent Emperor William from pursuing an independent course in the foreign af fairs of the empire. In well informed circles it is assured tonight, however that the committee did nothing further today than to read a certain paper re- lating to the Casa Blanca incident. They were entertained at dinner by Chancellor von Buelow.
 Today has been full of rumors and surmises concerning what attitude Emperor William would adopt toward Chancellor vOn Buelow, the reichstag and public sentiment at large His majesty spent today hunting and had breakfast in the forest.
 Prince von Furstenberg, his most in innate friend is with him. The pres ent is the time when the smallest cir cumstances are studied in order to ar rive at an understanding of what his majesty's future course may be, and there is satisfaction that he is with the prince whose influence is regard ed as good.
 The Frankfurter Zeitung says that the situation will not be settled until the emperor and Prince vOn BuelOw have had a DerSOnal meeting and this is the prevailing view in the reichstag

 landis Up in the Air.
 The short flight, however, was com pensated for by the double exhibi- tion for immediately preceding the main flight there was a briefer ascen- sion on which L. II. Landis was per mitted to play the part of mechani- elan. MT. Knabenshue was very care full not to get much higher than a box car on this flight, at least not any higher than the local sky scrapers that MT. Landis is used to. Some people might think this was out of respect to the possible feelings of Mir. Landis as he saw the earth begin to fade away, but they are entirely mistaken. It was due solely to the selfishness of Mir. Knabenshue, who it must be borne in mind was also riding in the airship and only has one life that he can really call his own. Freight agents can be secured almost anywhere, but successful air ship men are quite rare. MT Landis was very successful in pulling the right lever according to instructions, and stopping the propeller when the ground was approached for the land ing, but there are many who would like to know what MT. Landis would have done if the motor had stopped of its own accord before Knabenshue gave the signal. and the balloon had headed for the Bradshaw mountains with it's head up and its tail feathers spread.
 An interesting fact about the air ship is that the propeller is used not only to gain speed but to beat it" toward the ground in the event the atmosphere up wonder gets too light or puts a bad taste in the mouth Mir. Landis is all right, but

DEFENSE OF NIGHT RIDERS
 IN COTTON CONFERENCE
This Unexpected Issue Nearly Broke Up the Gathering.

Memphis, Tenn. Nov. 12.-F'iery de- nunciation of night riding and an equal fiery defense of the riders threw the cotton conference which is meeting here into disorder today and nearly terminated the days session before the program was fairly begun. The ex- cited delegates hurled charges and countercharges against each other.
 Walter Clark of Clarksville, Miss. precipitated the trouble when he called the night riders "curs" and men who shot people in the back. A. C. Roane, a resident of northeastern Mississippi jumped to his chair and called Clark to order. He said the night riders were an oppressed people fighting for what they believed to be right. working against overwhelming odds but always from the best motives. His words ere ated a sensation and men stood on their chairs and the greatest confusion prevailed.

THE BASE BALL WAR.
No Prospect of a Settlement of Ma

Chicago, Nov. 12.EThe waring rac- tions of organized base ball rested to- day with victory perched on neither of their banners.
 Pat Powers president of the Eastern league and Joe O'Brien president of the American association who bolted the meeting of the National asso- citation of professional base ball clubs. yesterday departed on early trains. The so-called regulars of the other and more numerous leagues belonging to the National organization held a brief conference and adjourned with out date to hold their next meeting at Memphis, Tenn, probably next year.
 A survey of the field show that while the disputed issues may still be adjusted the method by which this will Le brought about is obscure. Both sides have taken what they term un- alterable stands.

he is not a hero, because he did not get killed.
 The airship did not make a flight yesterday morning as was expected owing to the fact that it got its skirt torn in the flight of the evening be- fore, and some of its invisible con tents escaped when nobody was look ing. After the rip was sewed up it took some hours to refill the bag to good form. It is quite certain a flight will be made this forenoon as well as this afternoon.
 Other Incidents.
 The interscholastic contests were the first of the daily program events to claim attention as they started early and the result of them is given in full in another column.

GOMPER'S THREAT
In Certain Event He Will Appear in
 the Halls of Congress.

Denver, Nov. 12.-At the close of to- days session of the twenty eighth an nual convention of the American Fed eration of Labor, President Samuel Gompers in thanking the speakers of the day, said he heard since coming to Denver that it was intended by the present session of congress to pass a bill amending the Sherman anti trust law in a way detrimental to the labor movement He said that if such an attempt was made he would fight it in the halls of congress.
 At the request of Gompers, the sec retary then read letter from William J. Bryan in which he thanked Presi- dent Gompers and other members of the federation for the support given him during the recent campaign.

Yesterday was the second largest second as was ever registered in any contest. Some thought it was equal in attendance to the day before when the autos were the drawing card and it might have been but the receipts were naturally smaller because of the hundreds of Indians who were ad- mitted free. There was fully as much doing as the day before. There were fewer wheels turning and less speed eliminating machinery in action, but there were more of the minor novelty events and a good program of races.
 The inimitable and irrepressible Rube Sheilds was in evidence all the time and it is suspected that he slept on the grounds the night before in order to be there yesterday when the fun began. To his bicycle riding stunts he added a new feature that of lassoing the bronco machine by one horn when it got away from him and after throwing it he tied it as cleverly as any cowboy could. He also gave some dramatic readings. such as Mary Had Little Lamb" and other classics that people out here in the west never before had an opportunity to hear.
 The airship exhibition was not nearly so good as the former flights. Owing to atmospheric conditions or something else, the ship would not take the upper currents. else the navi- gator was afraid to let it. although he seemed to be seeking a higher elevation. It probably did not go over 2CO or 300 feet high and then swept dowH-by- the grand stand so low as to really excite the interest of the horses on the inner field and on the track
