OPPOSE DISINCORPORATION
OF NORTH SECTION OF CITY
On Day Previous to Election Anti
Segregation Committee Be-
comes Active

ONTARIO, Aug. 23.-Although it was
thought the election for the purpose of
deciding the question of the disincorpo-
ration of the north section of Ontario
would be carried off quietly, a strong
opposition has developed at the last
moment. A committee named the anti
segregation committee has been organ
lied and a strong effort will be made
to prevent the election from carrying.
a circular letter has been sent to ev-
cry voter by the committee, which con-
tains statistics and arguments against
disincorporation. 1t is pointed out that
the property under discussion is worth
almost $l00,0 900, according to the report
of the county assessor, which places an
extremely low valuation on property.
The income from the section is $500 a
year, and is rapidly increasing.
The committee will have large
number of automobiles in use on the
day of the eleCtion-tomOrrow
will distribute literature and carry
those who wish to the polls. The friends
of the movement are anxious and will
have to abandon their policy of re-
naming still, it appears, or they will
lose the day For twenty years the
been kept in a perpetual feud over the
disputed territory. The matter has
been brought into the higher courts
enormous sums of money have been
spent by Upland in the endeavor to
annex the strip of land. The election
was ordered held by a petition signed
by a majority of the voters of Ontario
but the sentiment appears to have been
reversed

SPANISH PROTEST
 AGAINST THE WAR TAKES THE FORM OF A STRIKE. Serious Rioting and Boodshed at
 Barcelona.
TAKES THE FORM OF A STRIKE.

Barcelona, July 27.-Barcelona is now under martial law Serious riot ing occurred following the declara- ton of a general strike in protest against military operations in Morocco and the dispatch to that country of large bodies of troops. Several per- sons have been killed and wounded.
 Violent meetings have been held this week, and a general strike fol- lowed. There has been much fighting in the streets. The food supply has been cut off, resulting in great hard ships and suffering especially among the poor.
 Several serious fights occurred be- tween the police and rioters and the former have not hesitated to use their pistols freely. As a result many innocent pedestrians have been shot.
 All commercial activity is prostrat- ed and the tramway. railway and cab services have ceased. There is great uneasiness here and fear of more serious disorders. Trouble also is reported from the interior.

THE STOCK MARKET
 CONTINUED NARROW
There Was the overshadowing Un-
 certainty Regarding U. s. Steel.

New York July 27.-The stock market today was characterized by its narrowness and professional issue and it's movements had little significance as indicating financial conditions. The time set for the meeting of United States Steel directors, at 3 o'clock, left no opportunity to take advantage of any action taken on the dividend. The small impression made upon the price of United States Steel by the broad intimations or the past few days that no dividend increase was to be counted made the shorts un- willing to wait for the action of the directors.
 There was a significant growth of impression, proved true by the event, that a compromise decision would be reached by the directors putting divi- dend on three percent basis. From the copper trade came another dis couraging set back in a renewed fall in prices in London and New York and reports of concessions to secure orders by a selling agency of leading interest in this country. Bonds were steady Total sales, S4,2S4 900. United States bonds unchanged.

IN PROOF OF INSANITY
A Pearl Handled Dog Whip With Which He Lashed Girls Who Were Lured
 Into His Rooms Previous to the Murder of White.

White Plains. July 27-Harry K. Thaw sat in supreme court today and heard a wOman's testimony that made his palIid face flush. He saw d pearl handled dog whip exhibited and he heard the witness swear that she had seen him wield it on the bare flesh of girls.
 The prisoners wife heard most of the testimony, which was of such a nature that Justice Mills preceded the presentation with the warning that mo woman should stay in the court room unless she is willing to hear everything" Two girls left.
 The witness was Mrs Susan Mer- Till, a buxom woman of about 8, and she opened a new chapter in the life of Sanford Whites slayer She told of alleged acts of his between 1902 and 1905 when he was a bachelor about New York Her testimony was in marked contrast to that of the two alienists who gave Thaw a clean bill of health, declaring that in their opinion he was sane.
 She testified that during the three years named she kept in succession wto New York lodging houses where Thaw rented rooms under assumed names and to which he brought at various times more than 200 girls. After Thaw's imprisonment, she said she paid these women at least $25, 1000 as the price of their silence and to keep them from bothering Thaw's wife or his mother" One of them who, she said passed as Thaw's wife. received $7,0O0. The money came from Thaw.
 The mysterious package brought to court yesterday by Clifford W. Hart ridge Thaw's former counsel, was unwrapped and a pearl handled whip about three feet long was brought into view. With this before the eyes of the court and spectators, the wom- an related a series of stories about finding Thaw on several occasions flashing the girls upon their bare arms and bodies. Thaw, she said. had posed as a theatrical agent and had lured the girls to his rooms with promises of engagements. When she remOnstrated with him, she testified. his excuse was that the girls were not smart enough and could not fill their positions and deserved a beat ing" She testified further that Thaw had frequently behaved violently and she considered his acts irrational.
 Evelyn Nesbit Thaw appeared dur ing the proceedings today but did not testify. She smiled at Thaw several times, but he paid no attention to her.

OBTAINED BY CONCESSIONS
Got Free Oil, Higher Rates on Hosiery, but Surren- dered Its Lower Rates on Lumber, Coal, Iron Ore and Print Paper.

Washington. July 27.-From the best information obtainable tonight it appears that the house has won the battle for free hides and oil and in creased rates on gloves and hosiery in return for a surrender to the senate on lumber, coal, iron ore and print paper.
 The rates on these schedules, as ten tativeIy arranged pending the accept ance by both houses of the program for a reduction in the duties on man ufactures of leather, below the rates fixed by the house follows: Oil, free; hides, free; coal. 45 cents ton; print paper, $3.50 a ton; iron ore, 15 cents ton; lumber. rough, S1.5O; one side finished, S2.0O; two sides finished. $255; three sides finished, which may include tongueing and growing, g. 26215: four sides finished, S3.o0 per 1000 feet; gloves. S4.OO per dozen pairs. not exceeding 14 inches in length, which is the standard length
 On gloves exceeding IA inches. 8 cents per dozen is added for each inch. This rate does not apply to the schmaschen, or cheap gloves, on which the senate rate, $1.25 per dozen pairs is retained. The latter rate is d re- duetion of the Dingley rates but the house rates accepted on the higher grades of gloves, represent heavy in creases over existing duties; hosiery, valued at S1 or less per dozen pairs, 70 cents as against the senate and exist ing rates of 90 cents.
 Although new Oaths of secrecy were taken by every member of the confer ence committee before the session ad- journed, it is understood that the fore going rates represent the understand ing reached on all subjects that had engaged the executive attention.
 There seems no doubt that the house leaders will be able to put through rule permitting the conferees to make reductions in the rates on leather manufactures. If there is any danger of the program failing, it is in the sen ate MT. Aldrich talked with a num- Der of western senators today and some still oppose free hides under any circumstances. It is generally under stood. however, that the western sen ators feel that MT. Aldrich did all he could to continue the protection for the cattle industry and that the senate will adopt the provision.

THE PRESIDENTS CONFERENCE

Washington. July 27.-President Taft expressed himself to callers as being gratified that the conferees on the tariff bill seemed about to reach an agreement to put hides on the free ltsi with an accompanying reduction in the schedule on manufactured leather including boots and shoes. The president said he was confident that authority would be secured from the house for it's -cOnferees to agree to a reduction in the honse rates on the leather schedule.
 Speaker Cannon, Chairman Payne and Representative Mccall called to see MT. Taft today. MT. Cannon said he did not know that a special rule would be necessary to instruct the conferees in accordance with the pres ident's desire as to the reduction of the leather schedule.
 Just before the regular Tuesday ses- sion of the cabinet the president re- ceived a delegation including practi- cally all of the iron ore producers and pig iron manufacturers of the coun- try.

TROUBLES OF MIR. CLARK.

Washington, July 27,-After ses- sion of 4S minutes the house today adjourned until Thursday when it is expected the resolution authorizing the tariff conferees to reduce the rates on leather and leather goods below those of the Payne bill will be acted upon.
 Laughter was created by Mir. Clark, the minority leader, remarking that he was being "deviled to death" for information as to when the democratic conferees would be held in.
 If you can tell me, I'll tell you" was the only consolation he got from MT. Payne.
 Mir. Tawney of Minnesota, aroused the house to a high pitch of excite ment when he denounced pr. Charles Richard Van Hise, president of the University of Wisconsin, for having,

Latham the Aviator Fell Into
 the English Channel HAD ECLIPsED BLERIOT
He Was Sailing Swifter and Straighter When the Accident Occurred Two Miles Off Dover-Thou- sands of Spectators.

Dover. July 27.-Hubert Lathams seond attempt to fly across the Eng fish channel ended disastrously today Almost in the moment of victory, his monoplane fluttered down into the sea two miles beyond the Admiralty pier A thousand persons crowding the wa ter front saw him fall and for nearly half an hour they were in suspense as to the aeronauts fate.
 A flock of large and small craft raced Tn the scene of disas-er and a pinnace from the British battleship Russell picked up the unlucky flyer and put him aboard the French tor pedo boat destroyer, Escopette.
 After a surgeon had attended to his injuries. the destroyer brought Latin am ashore and he was taken to a ho- tel. His face was bandaged and bleed- ing. and his nose broken. The machine badly wrecked was hoisted from the boat to the dock.
 Latham's flight, to the moment of it's sensational finish. in some respects eclipsed Bleriots He made greater speed, being only 20 minutes in the air from the time he left the coast of France. Apparently he steered more nearly straight than Bleriot, as he was making direct for Dover when he fell.
 The disastrous ending of the flight furnished a dramatic scene. Shortly before o'clock the clamor of sirens and bells on ships in the harbor noti- fled the town that another channel crossing was to be attempted. In a marvelously short time the waterfront. piers and cliffs behind the town were crowded. Thousands gathered there, many of them carrying telescopes, marine and field glasses and cameras. Soon the two French torpedo boats which preceded aerOplane. were seen approaching at a furious pace, thick clouds of smoke puffing from their tunnels.
 Fourteen minutes after six o'clock the airship was discovered heading straight for the center of the town. The rapidity of its flight was evidenc- ed by the quickness with which it grew larger and assumed a bird-like out line. Suddenly it began to slacken speed, at the same time gliding to- wards the surface of the ocean. It fluttered a few times and then fell.
 The aeroplane dropped with a lateral incline to the sea. There it floated and those with glasses could make out that it had not sunk. Excitement while the boats were going to the rescue was intense. out soon a fleet of all kinds If craft gathered around the wreck. The force with which the aeroplane had fallen caused fears that the aviator might be killed. in the wreck, if he had not been drowned. but signals from the ships finally told those on shore that Latham had escaped.
 It was nearly o'clock when the Escopette came along side of the pier to land Latham and his machine, which was seen to be much larger than Bleriot's little flyer. The crowds cheer ed the bandaged hero enthusiastically. He was followed to his hotel by thou sands.

COrdOva, Alaska, July 27.-When asked today concerning the report that the Alaska Central, the road projected from Seward to the Yukon river, and the Panama valley, a section which has already been completed, would be sold to the Morgan an-Guggenheim in- terest, George w. Perkins of New York, the personal representative of Mir. Morgan, refused either to affirm or deny the rumor.
 Additional credence has been given the report because of the sudden de- pGrture this afternoon of Mr Perkins on the steam yacht Yucatan for Se- ward, presumably to inspect property. Perkins was accompanied by President $. w. Eccles of the Copper River and Northwestern road.

GRAIN.

Chicago, July 27.-The wheat market again developed decided weakness to- day following a sharp bulge at the start and at the close prices were considerably nearer the dollar mark than on any previous session since the slump began.
 A feature of wheat trading was the selling of line estimated at between 3,000,00G and 4,000,000 bushels for September delivery by the erstwhile leader of the bulls. The market open ed strong. prices half to 21s cents higher. July opened s1075s to S1.09 and September. $1.O5p to s1.O6.
 The market closed weak with July $106f and September, $1.O3Ss.
