Brunt of the Overcharging

RHEIMS. Aug. 1s.-Rheims is avia-
ton mad in anticipation OF the week OF
prize flights. including the Coupe Inter
rationale d Aviation, which win begin
on Sunday.
More than fifty aeropIanes OF every
known type are assembled on the
course at Bethany Plain. and many
trial flights were made today. Machines
Of the Wright, Voisin, Bleriot, Antoi-
nette. Herring-C grtiss. and r. e p.
types are most prominent
Glen H Curtiss. the only American
who will participate. mas about recov-
cred from the injury he sustained Mon
day when his aeroplane came to earth
too suddenly. His machine, too, is
again IN good order, and Curtiss expects
to make a fight this evening If the
weather conditions are favorable.
It is expected that the relative merits
OF biplanes and nzonoplanes viii be
fairly well established in next week s
flights.
The Wright and Curtiss machines are
both biplanes. while the Bleriot type is
the best representative of the mono
plane. on account Of Bleriot's success
in flying across the English channel,
there are many who think It superior
70 the Wright machine.
Hundreds OF Americans have arrived
here TO witness the sport and they are
complaining bitterly of abe treatment by
hotels and lodging houses. Rates have
been shot up 10 several times the usual
figures and. as usual. the Americans
are getting the worst Of j. The we'll
known tendency Of American travellers
70 submit TO eXtOrtiOnate charges has
led the local stOrekeepers and hotel
men TO take the lid of, and they are
gouging the Americans right and left.
Several Americans have engaged
rooms with baths for the entire week
paving from 500 TO $500 in advance for
them.

Cooper Trial Wakes Warm.

Nashville, Tenn, February H.
Marked by bitter quarrels between
attorneys and by new anil startling
testimony, the second dav o. the
Cooper-Sharpe trial for the murder
of former Senator Carmack closed to-
night with the State highly elared
and the defence visibly perturhed.
The tension between the factions has
tiehtened visibily, too. This is indi-
Gated in the court room by bitter pas
sages between opposing counsel and
outside by more bitter talk by par
tisans. While it was clearly a field
day for the prosecution, it must be
remembered that the testimony was
given by the States witnesses only,
and that the defence is yet to be
heard from.
There were three star witnesses,
and all Of them women. Miss Mary
Skehiington, the State librarian, and
young woman of excellent position
socially, was the first. She told how
on the day Of the murder she left
the State library and walked down
9TH avenue, when within two hundred
feet Of the scene Of the shooting she
met John Sharpe, one Of the defend
ants, whom she had known for ten OF
twelve years. Just as she greeted him
she heard three shots and asked
Sharpe what 1T meant. Without turn
ing around to learn, she says, Sharpe
replied: "That's Dune Cooper shoot

Ing Senator Carnack.
Basis for Conspiracy Charge.

odo4S 4O4 Suo4
By the second witness, Miss Daisy
Lee, the State laid the foundation on
which it will base its contention that
the staying of Carmack was the result
of a conspiracy. Miss Lee is a stem
ographer in the office Of James Brad
ford, one Of the attorneys for the de-
fence. Robin Cooper had his office
with Bradford 5 law firm. Miss Lee,
trembling with fright and almost sick
with worry, told how, on the morning
Of November 9, the day Of the TRACE
dy, when she arrived at the office she
found Col. Cooper already there IN
conference with his son. She heard
the colonel denounce Carmack for
using his, (Cooper's,) name, and de-
clare he had right to protect himself.
Later she heard Col. Cooper apply to
him, (Carmack), epithets so vile that
she cried when ordered to repeat them.
The court permitted her to write
them, and when they were read she
covered her face with her hands.
Miss Lee then told how at 3 p. N.
there began a conference in Brad
ford's office between the two Coopers,
Bradford and Adjt. Gen Tully Brown.
This conference lasted until 4 p. m.,
when it broke up and the Coopers left
together. She said that there was a
look Of worry and trouble on the
bows face that SHE had never seen
there before.
What Stenographer Heard on Phone
Miss Lees duty among other things
was to answer the telephone. There
are desk extensions into the private
offices of the members of the firm. 1t
was her custom to answer the tele-
phone and call by an electric button
such members Of the firm as were
wanted. A half hour after the Coop
ers left the Office the telephone rang
and, as usual, Miss Lee answered it.
She heard a voice say, "Is that you,
Jim 2" and heard Attorney Bradford
say, eyes,
She hung up her receiver, but not
before she recognized the voice as
that of Col. Cooper. A moment later
she heard Bradford say over the tele-
phone:
"And did Robin kill him. 2 Well, I'll
be right up there.' She insisted
that Bradford was not in the habit of
answering the telephone unless called
by her. 1t appeared to be the intent
Of the State to have the jury believe
that conference to slay Carmack
was held and that the killing resulted
from this conference.
Maid Testifies.
The third star witness was Miss
DOME Braxter, a maid in the service
of Mrs. Lucius Burch, a daughter of
Col Cooper, with whom he made his
home. The witness heard Col. Coop
er come into the Burch home about
noon the day of the tragedy and
heard him tell Mrs. Burch something
! that greatly excited The young wo-
man. She heard Mrs. Burch say:
"He will kill you, papa" and the
fathers reply, HE is as liable to be
killed as I am.
Whatever followed caused Mrs.
Burch to become hysterical.
The defence made Little effort to
cross-examine these witnesses except
in a most perfunctory manner, and
court adjourned with THE testimony OF
the States witnesses practically un-
assailed.
