SECOND C0R0NER'S JURY is
MORE PAlNSTAKING
DEATH OF SIR ARTHUR sTEPNEY
NOT DUE TO ALCOHOLISM
Coroner Makes More Searching ln-
quiry and Verdict of First Jury Is
Nullified-Late Baronet Emil
nent Entomologlst
(By Associated Press3

YUMA, A. T, July S.-A second
coroner's inquest was held this morning
over the body of Sir Arthur Cowell
Stephney, baronet of London, who died
suddenly at the Southern Pacific sta
ton here yesterday.
Five witnesses were examined whose
testimony entirely nullified the de-
cision of the first inquest jury that
the death of the nobleman had been
induced by the use of alcoholic stimu-
lants. 1t was proved he had suffered
great from the heat after arriving
here, and that this, coupled with weak
heart action, had caused his sudden
end.
Examination of the papers found
among Sir Arthur's luggage shows him
to have been born in Germany, of
English parentage, about seventy
years ago. He was a naturalized
American citizen, his papers having
been taken out in Los Angeles in 1906.
No letters from relatives have been
found among his possessions, but a
mass of correspondence, mainly upon
scientific subjects, prove him to have
been an entomologist of note. He was
brought to the desert at this season by
the desire to increase an already ex-
tensive collection of beetles, as fire.
quent references to rare specimens of
this sort appear in letters addressed to
him.
No replies have yet been received to
cables sent yesterday to the dead
mans London solicitors, pending which
the body is held at a local undertaken S

u. S. TREASURER NOT IN CON-
FLlCT WITH TAFT
CONGRESSMAN TAWNEY BLAMED
FOR FALSE RuMoR
Representative Endeavored to Correct
One Wrong Report and Succeeded
Only in Giving Ground for
Another
CBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Steps were
taken today to correct the impression
that a conflict has arisen between Pres
ident Taft and Secretary MacVeagh OF
the treasury department over efforts to
adopt an amendment to the tariff bill
revising the law relating to the manu-
facture and sale of oleomargarine.
The seeming conflict was provoked
by a mislnterpretation of statement
given out by Representative Tawney Of
Minnesota, following a conference he
had with the president.
The secretary of the treasury was re-
ported to be in favor of putting a nat
tax of cents a pound on all sorts OF
"oleo," in the place of the tax of one
fourth of cent pound for the uncol-
ored product and 10 cents pound for
the colored.
Because of the activity of treasury
department officials the impression pre-
vailed that the suggested change had
the support of the administration, ana
Mr.. Tawney sought to make 1t clear
that the president had not indorsed the
proposition.
In an interview today Mr.. Tawney
said: ITO the representatives OF the
press that l saw | merely said l was
authorized by the president to say this
oleomargarine legislation is not an adj
ministration measure, but is purely
treasury department measure"

BELGIAN TOURIST PRAISES
AMERICANS ON CONTINENT
Traveller from Brussels Says Persons
from the United States Are
Money SpendeFs

Joseph Jonas, a prominent resident
of Brussels, Belgium, who is making
the Hotel Angelus his headquarters
while touring Southern California,
said yesterday that one reason why
so many Europeans of the better class
are constantly coming to the United
States is because OF the good impress
slons made by American tourists
abroad
"Your women said Jonas, ARE well
gowned and have a most charming
personality. They dre the most reck-
less money spenders l have ever seen.
Many Americans PASS the summer at
Ostend. q short distance from Brus-
els, although the attraction is now
less since the gambling games were
eliminated. Formerly it was much on
the order of Nome Carlo, but the only
form of gambling allowed at the pres
ent time is horse ra.ing."
Jonas, who has made n study Of tde
international relationships between
European powers, said that he be-
siblity of war between Germany and
England. 'They have nothing to
gain" aid he, "and everything to
lose. ! believe there is far more
probability Of an outbreak between
Germany and France, although even
that is a remote possibility"
The Belgian has passed several years
travelling about the world and has
been in nearly every country. AT
present he is making a complete tour
OF the United States and will visit
every city of note. He was much i'm
pressed with Los Angeles and believes
il to be the coming metropolis of the
Pacific coast Jonas will leave later in
the week for San Francisco.

DUBLIN COUNCIL MEETING
TURNED INTO D0NNYBR00K
Mayor EndeaVors to Sidetrack Attack
on Parliamentary Party and
Precipitates Riot on Floor
of House

DUBLIN, July "a meeting of the
Dublin city council degenerated into
a regular Donnybrook this week. Ex-
citing wrangles led to blows and
wrestling bouts on the floor of the
chamber in the Mansion house.
Alderman Reign moved and Alder
man Mowling seconded a resolution
calling on the five NJ Ps for the city
to oppose the budget.
Councillor Cosgrove (Sinn Fein)
moved as an amendment, THAT this
council have no further confidence in
the Irish party
The Lord Mayor-"This is an attack
on the parliamentary party"
Councillor OKelly-"I know 1t is. 1
never intended it as anything else"
He was proceeding to say that he was
about to expose the dishonesty of the
parliamentary party when, amid an in
describable din, the lord mayor de-
clared the motion out of order.
At this point Councillor O'Kelly, very
excited, made his way toward the lord
mayors chair, followed by several of
his supporters, and called out loudly:
I'VE are not going to stand this any
longer. Well make a bear garden of
the place. If you rule it out of order,
] say you are acting disgracefully.
The amendment is absolutely in or
der"
An attempt was made to proceed
with some further business, but 1t was
failure, and Councillor Clear (ad-
dressing the lord mayor said: II
have been sitting here under your rul-
ing for the past five or six months,
and l have come to the conclusion that
you have acted today in a most dis
graceful manner
The uproar continuing, Mr.. Sherlock
moved that the house adjourn for
week. This was understood to be car
ried, and the lord mayor left the chair,
while the sword and mace were re-
moved from the table.
Then there was a violent outburst,
in the midst of which j. J. Sheehan
and Mr.. Brady were seen in handgrips,
pummeling each other, and a moment
later both were rolling on the floor of
the council chamber. In the effort to
separate the combatants several of the
councillors were tripped up, and there
was a confused mass of legs and
chairs about the floor.
While this was going on an alterca-
tion of a violent character took place
between Mr. Sherlock and Mr.. O'Car-
roll in which blows were struck.
Finally order was restored and the
members left the Mansion house.

VIII Catch Ball Dropped
500 Feet from a Balloon

they are able to drop an object within
a foot or two of a given spot, even with
a brisk wind blowing. Hogan thinks
he can beat Streets record, and wants
the drop made at distance of 800 feet.
In case the wind is favorable Monday
he may try for catch of ball
dropped from a hot air balloon by
Capt. Colby tomorrow afternoon to de-
termine how the scheme works out.
When the real trial is to be made
Mr.. Lehigh will provide an aneroid
barometer which will determine the
height from which the ball is dropped,
and this will be verified by two or
more persons in the balloon. In TINS
way there can be no dispute as to the
distance in case Happy Hogan is
successful The next balloon ascension
in Los Angeles probably will be in
Elks' week. and the trial will be made
then in that case, as the Vernon team
will be at home during the week.
Some of Hogan's friends are en-
deavoring to dissuade him from at
tempting the feat, fearing that he wlil
injure his hand, but he only says, sure,
pll do i'll"

a ball dropped from a balloon at a

The only catch of this sort is that or
a ball dropped from the Washington

ball dropped more than $50 feet, and it

REDDING, July 3.-James Moore, q
Los Angeles aeronaut and aviator, was
so severely burned in an accident to
his dirigible while making flight here
this afternoon that no hope is advanced
for his recovery. Moore was under con-
tract to make an ascension on each OIL
the three days Of a celebration here,
and had Just started his airship upward
on the first flight when the propeller
blade caught the lower edge of the en-
velope, ripping it open. The gas poured
out and ignited from the engine eX-
haust.
The terrific explosion which at once
occurred frightfully burned Moore ana
precipitated him to the ground. he
sustained serious injuries through the
fall. The force of the explosion was
felt bv the spectators, as the dirigible
was less than fifty feet from the ground

living at Redding and 81 years old, was
thrown down by the explosion, and it
is believed he was fatally injured. His
hip was fractured and he sustained IN
ternal injuries, from which. because OF
his advanced age and feeble condition.
he will hardly recover.
others were thrown to the ground
and in the rush to get away that fol-
lowed several were trampled on, but
no others were badly injured. Both
Moore and Mygatt are i'm the hospital

planned for three days, is abandoned.
In addition to his burns, which prac-
tically cover his body Moore fractured
his hip and right arm and sustained a
broken pelvis. The hospital surgeon
holds out no hope for his recovery.
