NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The
Wrights are contemplating the
formation of an international fly

of the concern, according to the
report, and he already has estab-

Berlin and Paris for making and
marketing the Wright flying ma

Flint is expected to arrive in
America October Is, when he
most probably will incorporate

1t is said that the Wrights will
hold a controlling interest in the
American concern and that the
Flint interests will be supreme in
those abroad.

Graft Case
IS Set for
Tomorrow

County Engineer Noel and his
chief deputy, Roben, will be givel
an opportunity to defend them
selves against the graft charges
tomorrow afternoon before the
county commissioners at what will
probably be secret meeting.
Deputy Prosecutor Lyle has
made his report to the commits
sioners informing them as to the
law and the manner in which to
proceed with the investigation.
No action will be taken by the
prosecutor in the case until the
result of tomorrow's hearing is
known.
The charges made against Cap
tain Noel are not SO numerous or
so serious as those laid against
Roben. Noel is accused of fail
ing to turn in a fee of SO in July
to the county treasurer, but he
has a receipt showing that it was
turned in in August. This, how
ever, is not a complete defense as
the law plainly says all receipts
taken I'm during a month must be
turned in before the end of that
month.
The complaint against Roben Is
specific, charging that on several
occasions he drew his Sc per dav
from the county while engaged in
Drivate work. II IS understood
that s. P. Judson, who makes the
charges, has two receipts showing
that Roben was paid SO on two
separate occasions by the park
board but on these same days he
drew his regular per diem wage
from the county. Unless his de-
fense to these charges are salts
factory 1t will be up to the conf
to start houseclean-
ing and politicians generally be-
lieve they will do 1t.

she began suit for a divorce in
the superior court.
The couple live on a ranch
near Alder and have six children,

grounds upon which Mrs. Marek

band has become extremely cruel
to her during the past few years
and has beaten and kicked her on
various occasions.
Mrs. Marek asks that she be
given the custody of the three
youngest children and half of the
community property, which con-
sists of 40-acre ranch near

band with a statutory offense.
They were arrested at the
Rainier hotel in Portland last
night. Starr was brought back
to Tacoma this forenoon by Dep
uty Sheriff A. H. Hall.
The arrest is alleged by Mrs.
Starr to be the elimination of an
affinity" case of several months
development. Miss Stark is a
handsome young woman and is
the daughter of well-to-do par
ents in Orting. Starr met her
since he came into the employ Of

registered under assumed names
as man and wife at the Fisher
hotel and the Greystone in Ta-
coma.

self a very pretty woman. soon
became suspicious of the atten-
tions paid by her husband to the
girl and after their disappearance
she swore out a warrant agains,
them. Starr will now have u
face trial here, while Miss Stark
will be held in Portland until tn;
local authorities decide upon 8
course of action to follow in hei
case.
| When Starr quit the employ NJ
the Owl drug store, he stated
that he was going to Aberdeen

unusual sensations. When ar
rested last night neither Starr nor
Miss Stark had anything to say.
They were registered in Portland d
under the name of Mr.. and Mrs.

British Columbia Town
Appalled, at Frightful
Harvest Reaped by
Explosion.

EXTENSION, via Ladysmith, b.
c., Oct. 6.-Thirty-four are now
known to be dead in the terrible
mine disaster which occurred
near Nanaimo yesterday. Others
are missing and little hope is held
out for them. Owing to a cave-ln
in No. 2 stope for fully fifty yards
it may be week before the
bodies are reached.
Only Working for Day
Sad stories are pouring in OF
the victims. The sister and broth
er-in-law of Ingham, one of those
dead in the mine, arrived last
night from Kansas on visit.
Wargo and Messerich, also en-
tombed in the black hole, re-
turned Sunday from hunting
trip and intended to work for one
day and then resume their holi-
day.
Eighteen Bodies Found
Rescuers resumed work at day
light, but up to 8 o'clock no other
bodies in addition to the eighteen
already found had been brought
out.
Among men who lost their lives
in this explosion there were none
more popular or better known,
not only on Vancouver island, but
also in sporting circles on the
mainland, than Tom O'Connell,
the star fullback of the Lady
smith football team.
Hard Fight for Life
From the position in which his
body was found it was evident
that he had taken alarm at the
first sound of the explosion and
made a desperate effort to escape.
He was working some distance
from the exact spot where the
Explosion originated and a man
who escaped said O'Connel had
called to him and then started
to run to escape the deadly after
damp which generally causes a
greater loss of life than the ex-
plosion itself. He was found with
his arms drawn up and his leg
muscles still tense from the last
desperate rush, more determined
than any he had ever made on a
football field, in which he was
trying to reach fresh air.
In his mad rush he had dashed
full tilt against pillar in the
darkness. The shock evidently
stunned him and allowed the
deadly gas to overtake him. His
body was among the five found
when the rescuers managed to
penetrate past the two mile mark
on No. 2 stope.
Shockingly Mangied

the frame and muscles of Her.
