DON CARLOS, The
PRETENDER, DIES
Claimed Spanish Throne Under
Salic Law.

Rome, July 19.-Don Carlos of
Bourbon, the pretender to the Span
ish throne, died at Varese, in Lom-
hardy. He hgd been i'll for a long
time, and the latest reports indicated
that he was suffering from apoplexy
with the accompanying paralysis.
Don Carlos, Duke OF Madrid, who
claimed under the special law of sue
cession established by Philip V to be
the legitimate King OF Spain by the
title of Charles VII, was born at Lay
bach, Austria, March 30. 1S4S. His
father, Don Juan, was the brother Of
Don Carlos, known as the Count de
Montemolin, in support of whose
claims the Carlist risings Of 1s4S,
1855 and 1860 were organized.
The claim OF Don Carlos and his
branch OF the Bourbon family to the
throne of Spain is based on the
ground that Isabella, grandmother of
King Alfonso, was debarred from the
succession by the Salic law. which
forbids succession 10 the throne to
those descended in the female line.

killed, more than 20 severely injured
and a dozen others slightly injured,
as the result of the explosion OF a
motor cycle and a fire which followed
II during a cycle race at the old
Botanic gardens.
After few laps the tire on one of

zine exploded in burst of fame and
the machine leaped into the air and
hurled itself against the barrier,
which broke down.
The rider was thrown off and fell
against other competitors, who were
pitched to the track, several Of them
being severely injured. So terrific
was the speed of the motor cycle that
Il continued on its course after the
explosion, crashing into the public
stand. hurling spectators right and
left and setting on fire several wom-
ems dresses. Two women were in.
stantly killed and their bodies, satur,
ated with flaming benzine, were

number OF persons. including chill.
dren. were badly trampled. Eighteen

TAXPAYERS SEEK
TO SETTLE STRIKE
Apply 10 Courts For Order Com
peIaag Arbitration

Pittsburg, Pa. July 10. = It is ex-
pected that hearing OF the suit
brought by the Public Defense asso.
citation 10 compel arbitration OF the
differences between the Pressed
Steel Car company and its striking
employees. will be held tomorrow.
The move of the association, non.
partisan civic organization formed to
further public interests by invoking
action by the courts, is believed to
be unique in the annals OF labor dis
putes. The association seeks TO en-
join the strikers from trespassing
upon. damaging or destroying the
property of the company. and to en-.
join the company from discharging
the striking employees or from i'm
porting strikebreakers. a.
The ground taken by the associa-
tion is that, inasmuch as the expense
OF the strike Is being borne by the
taxpayers, they should have some
say as to whether or not the strike
continue q day or a year. The law
OF the state Is such that in the event
OF the plant of the Pressed Steel Car
company being dynamited or destroy
ed by fire or seriously damaged by
the strikers, the loss would fall nei-
ther on the company nor on the
strikers. but ON the county, which
would have to reimburse the COM
pany forwhatever damage 1t had suf.

CURTISS FLYER

Collision With Other Aerial Craft.
New York, July ia frightened
amateur, sitting like a wooden man.
went up in Glenn Fl. Curtiss' aero
plane, which lowered a moment in
mldair and then crashed to earth.
The beautiful craft in which Curtiss
made his remarkable flight was badly
wrecked, and the would.be aviator
was lifted unconscious from the
twisted frame. his left arm broken,
his left thumb dislocated. his body
bruised and his brain reeling. His
injuries. however, are not serious.
The accident occurred on Hemp
stead plain, Mineola, where Curtiss
has been giving demonstrations for
the New York Aeronautic society, to
which he recently sold his aeroplane
for $4,000. It was a member of the
society. Alexander Williams, who
was Injured.
While Williams had driven many
an automobile. is familiar with gas
engines and is somewhat Of ma
chinist, he seemed to lose complete
control OF himself as the aeroplane
scared upward and when II had at
tained height of 30 feet the craft
careened sharply to the right,
swooped toward the earth and, strik.
ing on end, turned completely over,
then rolled on its back. Williams re.
mained pinned in his seat. He nut.
tered that some one had collided
with him in the air. Witnesses OF
the accident say II was merely case
OF man attempting something
which taxes the nerves. the body and
the brain simultaneously, and that
Williams simply had stage fright.
His attempted flight followed
successful one made by Edward Fos.
ter willard, also a member OF the
aeronautic society, who remained in
the air for % seconds, making a
short flight at an average height OF
20 feet. Curtiss then took the ma.
chine and made a beautiful flight
back to the starting place. cutting
several sharp turns and ascending at
one time for more than 100 feet. then
shooting swiftly downward until he
was only 80 feet above the earth.
The witnesses Of his bird.llka drop,
among them A. NJ. Herring. himself
an aeroplanist of note, say that it
was extremely spectacular.

Tug Rescues Thirteen.
New York, July 19.--Ten persons
were drowned two of them little
girls, when the excursion sloop Rox-
ana, carrying 22 passengers, was
capsized by sudden squall in lower
New York bay.
The captain OF the Roxana and the
IL survivors were picked up under
great difficulties in a rough and chop
by sea by the tug Lamont.
The Roxana, with her skipper, Cap
tain Samuelson, was chartered at Ul-
mer Beach. Brooklyn, by a party
from Brooklyn, for sail across the
bay to Midland Beach, Staten Island,
and back. The first leg of the voy-
age was made without mishap and all
hands piled a shore to make merry.
Beer was served, and some of the
survivors could give but hazy ac-
count of the accident.
There was stiff breeze from the
southwest, which left nasty cross
sea. The Roxana reelng homeward

Judgment would permit to be carried,

until her copper plates glistened in
the sum- and the angle of the deck
steepened to the boiling water in her
lee, the women screamed and scram-
bled for the upper rail.
The captain struggled to slack
away his sheet, but there was no
time for measures Of relief. In one
moment the Roxana was bottom up
and the foam was black with bobbing
heads. In another moment the Rox-
ana had vanished, and one by one
the heads began to follow her. For
tunately the tug Lamont was keeping
q sharp lookout. Captain Keyes saw
the sloop heel over in the gust and
fail to come back. Instantly he head
ed for the spot where the Roxana
had been but before he could reach
her 10 of the passengers had gone
down to watery graves.

speak, II has been an imperiled way
farer since the beginning of the ex-

upon his Inauguration, nearly five
months ago.
The conference committee is now

be the ultimate fate OF the measure
as a whole is the subject OF varying
conjecture, but the general impres.
sion is quarters usually well inform.

and will reach the hands of the pres.
ldent early next week.
Most people here expect that Pres.

self caused a furry throughout con-
gress by the issue Of what amounted
10 an informal message to congress
in which he reiterated his conviction
that the national platform of the Re-
publican party meant and the senti.
ment Of the people as whole de-
manded, bona fide downward re.
vision Of the tariff. After all is said
this statement really surprised no
body, as the president had said sub
stantialy THE same thing in his re.
cent speech at New Haven, but It
served to crystalize a somewhat fuc-
uating sentiment in the committee of
conference, and It may have expe.
dited the committees action.
In all probability the five subjects
which have received President Taft's
personal attention-iron ore, coal, oil,
hides and lumber-will be taken up
by the conferees during the latter
part of the present week. There are
a number of paragraphs in the bill
which can not be disposed OF until
rates are determined for the subjects
named. Proceeding upon the assump-
tion that iron ore and oil will be
placed upon the free list, and that
existing duties on coal, hides and
lumber will be materially reduced,
the conferees are preparing amend
ments TO be offered on articles pro-
duced from the foregoing raw ma
terials. In consequence all of these
subjects may be disposed OF imme-
diately after duties have been deter
mined for the most important sub
jeots.
Outside Of the questions which are
receiving the personal attention of
President Taft, the greatest difficulty
anticipated relates TO the wood pulp
and print paper schedule. On ac-
count OF the statement of Represen-
tatiye Mann Qll), who was chair
man OF the special committee which
investigated this whole subject and
reported reduced rates to the house,
that hewould vote against the confer.
ence report unless the views OF his
special committee were recognized,
the conferees have delayed disposi.
tion OF this schedule. -
The house rate on print paper was
fixed at ~ a ton. The senate rate Is
81 a ton, as against the existing rate
OF So ton. The general impression
Is that the senate conferees will of.
fer to compromise with the house by
agreeing to accept rate OF So. Sen
ator Hale Is opposing any reduction
Of the senate rate: therefore the sub.
iect is likely to be one OF the last
settled.
The senate conferees are insisting
