the affirmative; Armour Murdoek and
Eva Heath Of South Bend for the

interesting and the manner in which
the question was handled by both

effort had been put forth. The three
Judges, decided unanimously in favor
Of South Bend. Although the IlwacC

Visitors Never Had Chance to Score
In Saturdays Game

The Mechanicviile N. Y, baseball
team which played at Morgan Park
Saturday afternoon was so thoroughly
outclassed by the Huckleberry boys
that there was only one question to
solve: whether or not Haynes would
shut out the visitors without a run 1t
was a strange game in one respect.
Only three. members of the Benning-
ton team, had put-outs to their credit.
Haynes struck out Is, burlington

Hickey caught one high one in center
field and Watson disposed of nine.

Bennington in the sixth stacked up

ed eitaer in being struck by the
wrecked autos or in the rush to es-
cape, which amounted almost to a
panic.
The dead are Benjamin Logan of
this city, John Jolleffe OF Trafalgar,
spectators, and Claud Kellum of Ko-
komo. mechanician of the wrecked
car. The badly injured are Henry
Tompkins and Henry Tapping OF this
city. Bruce Keene, driver of Mar
mon car, was badly cut and bruised
about the head In a second accident.
Fully 5000 persons were lined up at
the fence which surrounded the speed
way and during the afternoon the po-
lice had trouble In keeping them from
crowding upon the track. Others
persisted in sitting ON the fence and
despite police warnings trespassed up
on the track from time to time.
1t was while thousands of persons
were pushing and surging for places
at the fence and while the 300 miles
race was in progress that the Nation
al car, with Merz as driver and KEEL
lum as mechanician, came down the
track with a terrific burst of speed,
dashed into the fence and the specta-
tors at the south side OF the speed
way. The tire on the right front
wheel had burst.
The machine turned turtle. KEEL
lum was pitched against the fence
with terrific force and Merz was
caught under the machine. In
twinl1ling he reached up and turned
off the thEobbing engine and then
called to those who had gathered
around to look after Kellum, SEEM
ingly having no thought of himself.
The second accident. that resulted
in the wrecking of the Marmon car
driven by Bruce Keene, caused the
American Automobile association to
cut short the program and meeting.
The Marmon car ran into the side of
the overhead bridge opposite the
bleachers. The car was put out of
but was not badly wreck
ed Keene was cut about the head
but was thought to not be hurt NOR

panies of the state stand in a differ

that of the savings banks but the first
duty of both classes of banks is to
their depositors and second to their
stockholders when they have any.
The development of our savings
banks and savings banks and trust
companies since 1880, has been quite
rapid, with very little change in the
laws and there are many inconsistent
cies which should be corrected.

TUNNEL D|GGERS
TOO FAST FOR
HOME TEAM
Won Game at Tudor Park by
Score of 7 to 4
PLAY RAGGED IN SPOTS
Bennington 6atted Well But Hits Did
Not Come at the Right
Time

bennington lost to North Adams for
the third time at Tudor Park yester-
day in one of the most unsatisfactory
games of the season. The game was
unsatisfactory, not only because the
aone team was decidedly beaten by
score Of Z to but because of the
ragged play by both teams.
Eastman for the third time pitched
for the Tunnel Diggers and, while his
control was not so good as when he
played his last game here, it was not
iceable that when the pinches came
ne always managed to dispose of the
batters.
Corey pitched an excellent game.
He held North Adams to seven hits
and had eight strike-outs. He also
made two hits and sacrifice.
Bennington started the game in
good shape. only three Tunnel Dig
gers facing the pitcher, but I'm the Sc
cond with two men out Waters heav-
ed the ball over first base and scored
two runs on tne error.
In the third inning a passed ball.
two hits and wild heaye by Cherry
over first together. with some fast
base running by the visitors added 3
runs to those made i'm the second in
ming.
The Tunnel Diggers' two other runs
were made in the ninth on couple
of hits and errors by King and Wat
son.
Bennington scored in tne second in
ming. Hayden, the first man up,
knocked out sharp single to left
held but when Corey attempted to
sacrifice him to second Eastman let
the Bennington pitcher reach first
and threw out Hayden. Prindle sent
a grounder at Second Baseman Roper
which that gentleman neglected TO
hold and when Watson sent a high fly
into center both Corey and Prindle
started for the plate. Centerfielder
Hogan accommodatingly droppd the
fly and Corey scored. Prlndle going as
far as third base. A passed ball
gave Prindle a chance to score, Wat
son going to third. In the meantime
Eastman had given King and Cherry
free passes to first and IL looked as
though the big CHER were threat
ened with a case of blow up" but he
came back to earth when Waters flied
out to right field.
Twice Bennington had chances to
score but the necessary safe hit was
not forthcoming and 1t was not until
the ninth that the locals managed to
put another man across the plate.
Carroll, wins had hit safely to center
was pushed ON to third by Corey's nit
to left field. Corey was doubled up al
second by Hickey's grounder which
scored Carroll Prindles hit sent
Hickey to third from which he scored
on a wild throw by Kenney.
Bennington batted enough to win
the game but the hits were not con-
secutive. In four different innings the
first man up opened with a nit and
there were at different stages men
enough on bases to more than over
come the lead obtained by North Ad-
ans in the second and third innings

SIX AER LANE S
SAIL OVER PLAIN
At BETHENY
Spectacular Opening of Avia-
ton Week in France
NO ACCIDENT MARRIED DAY
Wright BipIane Only Machine to
Make Complete Circuit of
Course

Rheims, France. Aug. 23.-The spec
tacle of six aeroplanes simultaneously
winging their flights in hugh circles
over the plain at Betheny, was a re
markable feature of the opening day
of aviation week. At the finish of the
flight there was great burst OF
cheers over the wonderfully impress
i've exhibition.
Only Lefebvre who less than two
months ago adopted aeropiane pilot
ing as profession, with a Wright
biplane, alone succeeded in negotia-
ting the complete circuit of the
course. He remained in the air for
sixteen minutes in a twenty-five mile
wind, breaking the speed record here
tofore held by Islander, covering ten
kilometers in Sminutes 50 40 seconds
OF the others entered in the trials
only Bleriot was able to cover a suf
ficient distance to qualify, thus re
naming representative from the best
achievement in the subsequent ey'
ents
The rain and wind prevented any
attempt in the two other events on
the program-a speed contest of three
laps and lap contest Then sudden
ly- the rain ceased and the wind fell
to a dead calm. The sky pilots soon
were busy in getting their machines
out of the shed and the air buzzed
with the ilum of motor eXhauSts.
Latham was first away ascending
high from the start. He passed the
cheering tribunes at a height of $50
feet, and the ovation which he re
ceived was all the heartier for ais
plucky though unsuccessful attempt to
cross the English channel. Lambert
Sommer, Cockburn, Delagrange and
Fourier followed in quick succession
and, as Latham was completing the
first round, now at height of 800 feet
six aerOplanes like huge gulls were
lowering over the field.
Latham came down after finishing
tne second round, the others gradual
ly dropping out until three Wright
machines remained aloft. Lambert
completed four, Lefebvre and Tissan-
der three circuits each. Lefebvre
concluded with thrilling demonstra'
ton of the manoeuvering capacity OF
his machine, circling around the start.
ing point, cutting several figure of
Fights and sweeping down over the
heads OF the people in front of the tri-
Dunes, Lambert finishing at the same
time. During this exhibition Lambert
and Lefebvre passed each other twice
and gave other signs of control over
their machines. The Wright aero
plane alone completed the required
three rounds, the time being as fol
lows: Tissandier, 20 minutes SO sec
onds; Lambert 20 minutes and sec
onds. The other machines made rec
ords only in the speed lap contest,
Sommer covering the distance in ii
minutes and % seconds; Lambert, 9
minutes and 80 seconds; Paulham 10
minutes and so seconds; Tissandier 3
minutes and 26 seconds; Bunau-Varil-
la, II minutes, Sc seconds; Latham 8
minutes, AZ seconds; and Cockburn II
minutes and 90 seconds.
There was great disappointment
among the Americans at the failure OF
Glenn H. Curtiss to appear, but he eX-
planned that he has only one machine
and cannot afford to take chances OF
a mishap.

Brattleboro. Aug. 23.-In the belief
that through some unfortunate invest

Henry u. Perry became mentally de-

commitment taking place from New

Since ais death it has been learned
from relatives who are settling up his
estate that the investments which
Mr. Perry thought so valueless were
fortunate in the extreme and that
they had proved his business sagac
ity, for instead of dying penniless as
he supposed, MIR. Perry was a wealthy
man. his estate amounting TO many
thousands of dollars.
