AVIATOR IS KILLED
AT GREAT HEIGHT
Aeroplane Motor ExpIodes While
Craft Is Being ManeuVered
and the Machine
Crumples

NICE. France Dec. 6.-M. Fernan-
dez, the aviator. was instantly killed
today, following the explosion of the
motor when his aeroplane was being
maneuvered at an estimated height Of
1850 feet The machine crumpled, and
with its pilot dropped to the earth.
NJ. Fernandez participated in the
aviation contests at Rheims last August,
but his performances there attracted
no special attention.
Fernandez was the third man to be
killed in a motor power aeroplane. The
first was the death of Lieut.. Selfridge
while flying as a passenger with Or
VILE Wright at Fort Myer in Septem-
Der, 1908. T.. Lefebvre, the French
aviator, was killed September last
when his aeroplane turned turtle two
minutes after his flight had begun.
Lefebvre was using a Wright machine.
The aeroplane shot downward and
was crushed to splinters. Fernandez,
though popularly ranked as a French
aviator, was Of Spanish birth He
learned the trade of a tailor and was
engaged in this work when he became
interested in the possibilities of flying.
Today's sensational ascent took the
flying world by surprise. The heighJ
attained by him can only be estimated.
1t is believed to have been not less
than 500 meters, and so to have equaled
and possibly exceeded the official
worlds record.

CONTEMPLATION
HEAD OF B. OF R. T. SENDS.
LETTER TO TAFT
TELLS PRESIDENT NOTHING CAN
BE DONE TILL 1910
Says Sensational Report of General
Labor Disturbance on Rail-
roads Is Without
Foundation

CHICAGO, Dec civilian G. Lee,
president of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen, tonight sent a message
to President Taft assuring him SEN
sational reports regarding a general
railroad strike were without founda-
ton.
Following is President Lees message
to President Taft: "In order that your
self and the public may know the
truth deem it necessary to state the
press reports indicating a strike or
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and other affiliated organizations, IS
threatened at this time as a result of
the demands made for increased pay in
the territory east of Chicago, are alb
soutely without foundation.
Whatever action is taken by the
organization l represent will depend
entirely on the individual expression of
the members through the general com
mission for the railways in the terri
tory and will be handled in the usual
manner.
THE demands of the train employees
in train and yard service east of Chi
cago cannot take proper form even for
deliberate consideration between the
railway officials and their employees
before the early part of 1910.
'All this talk about a strike of the
brotherhood of railroad trainmen ana
affiliated organizations is absurd, and
the membership of the organization
fully realize it."

HOME PLACE FOR
WOMAN'S TALENTS
PRESIDENT ELIOT DISCUSSES
PROBLEM
Educator Says Business Activity Con-
tributes Little to Develop
ment of Themselves
and Race

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. G.
Charles W. Eliot. president emeritus Of
Harvard university, believes that wo-
mans highest field Of activity is in
the home and decries the effort of
many women nowadays to push their
way into occupations more distinctive
ly those Of the man. In an interview
published here today, he says that for
the normal woman the most profitable
intellectual growth is to be found in
the exercise of her talents upon the
problems presented by home making,
companionship with her husband and
the vital problems of the rearing of
children.
President Eliot says in part: The
women who follow the ordinary pro-
fessi1ns Of mon. who keep shops, carry
'o1 business on devote their time to the
labors Of church or charity will, as a
rule, contribute much less 10 the de-
Nclupment of themselves and the race
than the normal woman who prac-
ticcs the household arts and the wo-
man who becomes the mother of seY-
cUal children, four, five or six, has bet
ter opportunities of developing the
best in herself, intellectually and sell
timcutdIly. than the mother OF only
one or two children.
"Tha ability to employ servants is
often lindTanCe to real growth. Tor
women who are able to employ others
to do their work for them do not so
surely secure the natural opportuni-
ties for mental development which the
