PARIS, July 27.-Hubert Latham,
the aviator who attempted to cross
the English channel in a flying ma
chine and fell into the water ten miles
he will make a second attempt to ac-
complish the daring feat within a few
days. Latham's flying machine, which
is an oddly constructed monoplane,
was only slightly injured in the recent
flight. He brought it at once to Paris,
he can cross the channel with as great
ease as did Bleriot, Saturday.

I is not impossible that one of these will
spring surprise and capture the
greatest number of points.
On paper the Irish American Athletic
club looks to have about the strongest
bunch. John Flanagan, the veteran
hammer thrower, who set new worlds
record few days ago, will be out here
to show the natives how the 16-pound
missile should be hurled. Outside of
Melvin Sheppard, Flanagan is proba-
bly, the brightest of the Irish American
clubs stars. Sheppard was to have
come to Seattle for the games, but. a re-
cent press report states that he has an
abcess on the leg and may not get in
condition. However, there is more than
an even chance that this great athlete,
who took two firsts in the London
Olympic games will be here to run the
half mile and mile Charley Bacon and
John Eller, two first class hurdlers,
Bobby Cloughan, a sprinter who ran
well in the Olympics; George Bonhag,
holder of a number of records from
two to seven miles, and Harry Porter,
high jumper are other bright lights.
Porter won the high jump at London
with a leap of six feet three inches,
and should be good fer first place out
here

Preliminary dope on the outcome of
the meet is uncertain at best The
struggle for first honors will probably
lie between the New York Athletic club

Roseben's Legs Fail at Gravesend-
Failure to Make Good In Long Dis.
Distance Paved Way for World
Record at Seven FurIones.

| NEW YORK, July 2.-Roseben. the
once champion Splinter, will race no
more. Only last week he broke down

end, and Davy Johnson decided to LET
| him pass the remainder of his DAYS
| at the farm of James W. Wadsworth
in the Genesee valley. For two years
Trainer Frank D. Weir fought against
the ailment which finally proved the
| undoing of a horse that was ALWAYS
popular with the racegoing public.
Roseben was one of the greatest
perhaps the greatest, sprinters the
world has ever seen. His record of

Some racing records give Kingston
the record for three-fourths of a mile,

points out that Kingston ran the Flu

An Expensive Opinion.
1t was the work Roseben did, car
rying 147 pounds, that made Johnson
think he could win from good horses
in distances greater than seven fur
longs. This belief cost the owner $780,
900 in the Metropolitan handicap in
1907, Roseben quitting after going
about seven furlongs.
john "A. Drake, from WHOH1 JOHNSON
purchased Roseben, always insisted
that the Big Train was simply a
sprinter, and Johnson was finally COM
PEELED to accept the judgment much
against his will.
The moment ROseben was returned
to the spirits he commenced t. show
remarkable speed. One day he was
entered in seven furlong event at
Belmont against two ordinary plugs.
The odds were so strong on Roseben
that there was no chance to make a
killing, Johnson, however, offered to
bet the mookmakers that Roseben
would run the distance in 1:25 or bet
ter He was looked upon as foolhardy
and got $4,000 down at even money.
Others acting for him found takers for
$3.50 more.
The result of the race was a worlds
record, 1:22 Shortly after this Rose
ben had blood trouble and came very
near to death. Last winter Roseben
raced in California and did fairly we'll,
but his legs were not good, presaging
the recent climax.

HARTMAN WILL
 GET A COLD DEAL

Washington, January 23.-That Presi- dent Roosevelt's recommendation for an appropriation to reimburse F. H. Harriv man for the expenditure of about g, ,O0o, 0o0 by the Southern Pacific Railway company to control the overflow of the Colorado river into Salton sink a few years ago, will be disregarded by Congress now appears probable. Hearings on this rec ommendation have been conducted by a subcommittee of the Senate committee on claims, composed of Senators Kean, Shoot and Martin. The interests of MT. Hartman have been represented before the committee py 4.aaxwell Evarts, who has urged that the Southern Pacific Rail- way company Is entitled to reimbursement for it's expenditure. The Presidents mes< sage is also before the subcommittee.
 Considerable opposition to making the appropriation was made by Senator Shoot on the ground that the railway company spent most of the amount claimed in pro- tecting its own property and property of the California Development company in southern California, which is said to be controlled by the Hartman interests. h. stead of making an appropriation of a s1 100000 or more In the payment of the amount which President Roosevelt says is due Mr. Hartman, 1t seems likely that the committee will vote to send the claim to the court of claims for adjudication of the conflicting interests.

WIDOWS PENSION
 IS NOT INCREASED

Washington. January 2S.-A motion by Representative Olcott of New York to in crease the pension of Julia B. Coghlan. widow of Rear Admiral Coghlan, United States navy, from $50 a month as pro- vided in pension bill. to s100 a month. created lively interest in the House of Representatives today. After vigorous debate the amendment was lost by vote of 42 to 1O3. s
 MT. Olcott made an impassioned appeal for the increase.
 Tt is, he said, flor the widow of the man who fired the first shot at Manila. and that is only one instance, throughout his life of his being prepared for every emergency"
 Strong opposition to the increase was made by Messrs. Hull of Iowa, Louden- slager of New Jersey, Campbell of Kan sas and Sims of Tennessee on the ground that there was nothing unusual in the case to demand this special consideration.
 MT. Campbell declared that the man who fired the first gun on Admiral Coghlan s battleship was a sailor, whose name is not even known, and whose widow will get only $12 month when he dies
 There is not a single extraordinary feature in this case" said MT. Louden- slager. The widow of the rear admiral was left property worth $670O, and to all low this increase would be criminal in justice to others who would be discrim- mated against"

GOVERNOR LEAVES
 RAGING TO OTHERS

New Orleans, January 2s.-Those who had expected an interesting clash between the authorities of Jefferson parish and Governor Sanders as a result of the Su- burban park race meet. were dsappoint- ed tonight when the governor announced he felt satisfied that "the gentlemen in whose hands the enforcement of the law rests in Jefferson parish would do their full duty"
 Following a crusade in press and pulpit against alleged lawlessness in Jefferson parish, which is across the river from New Orleans, Governor Sanders yesterday wired from Baton Rouge to District Att torney Marrero that betting on the Su- burban races at McDonoughville, as well as gambling at Southport, would have to stop, else he would take a hand himself in enforcing the law
 Today the governor, accompanied by Adjutant General Stafford, arrived in New Orleans, and this still further bore out the general belief that the governor might send troops into the parish. To- night, however, the governor held a con ference with District Attorney Marrero and the latters father, Sheriff Marrero, and then made the announcement which set at rest all fears of a clash between the state and parish authorities.
 The case of Jack Sheehan and w. E. Ralston, charged with accepting bets at the Suburban track, in violation of the Locke law has been set for trial Monday in the district court of Jefferson. Upon his own request District Attorney Mar rero of Jefferson will be excused and the case will be prosecuted by St. Clair Adams, district attorney for the parish of Orleans.

SHOT BY MISTAKE
 FOR A R0BBER

Chicago, January 2s.-(Special. )-Charles G. Newell, S5 years old, married, the father of two children and the owner of a prosperous hardware business in West North avenue, was shot and almost in- stantly killed by Leo Zeigler a saloon keeper and neighbor, while the two men were returning from a wake this morn ing. Zeigler maintains that he killed his victim because he mistook him for a hold up man, who hit him with brick. The police declare it was the result of feud of long standing, brought about by business rivalry in the sale of phono- graphs in which the hardware man and the saloon-keeper were bitter competitors.
 Zeigler's story of mistaking Newell for a hold-up man is not credited by Police Captain Harding, who characterized the shooting as a cold d-blooded murder Search at the scene of the tragedy failed to dis close the presence of a brick. The police discovered two witnesses who declare they heard the voices of two men in quarrel shortly before they heard the shot.

Taste Is Sure
 Stomach Guide
A Barometer Which Never Fails,
 Thouqh Seldom Believed.


 Taste Is the direct guide to the stom- ach and the taste buds are connected by the nerves with the stomach itself so that they represent it's health or disorder If the stomach or its juices are out of tone the blood Is fermented by change in the alkaline or acid condition, and these reach the mouth both directly and indi- rectly.
 '"The taste buds are in the tongue, and are mounted by hair-like projections called papillae; they cover the surface of the tongue
 "When you taste these buds rise up and absorb the liquid; inform the nerves; the nerves tell the stomach. and the food Is acceptable or not, just as the stomach feels."
 The above remarks on taste come from an eminent authority and simply explain why when one smells cooking or sees food one thinks he can eat but when he tastes he learns the stomach Is out of business.
 To the person who cannot taste aright, who relishes no food and simply forces himself to eat, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets hold the secret of enjoyable eating, per feet digestion and renewed general health.
 Most men wait until their stomachs are completely sickened before they think seriously of assisting nature
 When your taste for food Is lost it is a certain sign the stomach needs atten- ton. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure such stomachs. They restore sweetness of breath, renew gastric juices. enrich the blood and give the stomach the strength and rest necessary to general duty.

How Diamonds Burn.

From the Los Angeles Times.
 The jeweler at closing time was put ting his diamonds in a huge safe. But why do you bother to do that, when two watchmen walk the shop all night long?" "On account of fire" the jeweler re- piled. Diamonds are nothing but coal carbon-they burn beautifully. Their hardness makes us think them inde- structible, but as a matter of fact fire of diamonds would be the briskest, pret- tiest thing in the world. Put a handful of diamonds on a plate and set a light to them. They will burn with a hard, gem-ll:e flame till nothing Is left. There will be no smoke, no soot. and at the end the plate will be as clean as though just washed-not the slightest particle even of ash will remain"
