AVIATOR'S INJURIES
SERIOUS, NOT FATAL
Fire Starts With Explosion of
Petrol on the Famous
Airstip.

RHEIMS, Aug. 29.-Before thous-
ands of spectators, breathless and
Mortified, but unable to do any
thing but watch with straining eyes,
Louis Bleriot, the aviator who first
crossed the English Channel from
France to Britain in a heavier-than-
sir machine. was injured severely
this afternoon, while hundreds Of
feet In the air above the aviation
course.
For the first time in the history
of successful heavier-than-air fight
a machine of known quality was
destroyed by fire, and a new dan
ger was added to a new science.
The accident to Bleriot's mono
plane, next to the bi-plane of Glenn
H. Curtiss, the American, the fast
est yet constructed, was the result
OF an explosion of petrol. carried
aboard the machine.
Aviator's Injuries
Bleriot's injuries are confined, It Is be-
neved, to the face and legs. Bad burns
on both legs and on the face from burn

some time.
Madame Bleriot. who has witnessed
every flight OF her husband and who
for months has pleaded with him to
QUIT aviation. was one Of the first to
reach him after the aeroplane hit the
ground. She hurried with her husband
TO the hospital and Is remaining with
him.
The accident came just after Bleriot
had started. The monoplane rose rap
idly when something went wrong There
was an explosion the noise Of which
barely reached the crowd and then the
monoglane which crossed the channel
was seen TO be almost a solid sheet OF
fame. The burning petrol spurted over
the canvas wings and they were afire
in a second. The intense heat Of the
burning spirits put the machinery out

WORKINGNAN FEELS
PROSPERITY'ST STOUCH
Prominent Manager Says
Business Confidence Is
Restored.

That Washington's Industrial and gov
ernmental workers, the two classes who
contribute the greatest amount to the
support of local business enterpr ses, are
feeling the prosperous impetus which is
just now turning the wheels OF Industry,
is the belief Of Isaac Cans. manager Of
Saks & Co.
Mr.. Cans, whose long experience in the
local merchandising field has made him
critical observer Of conditions. bases his
opinion on the Increased expenditures of
the individual buyer, on the desire OF
the individual to dress better. ard the
universal disposition % buy better
grades Of goods. This liberal tendency on
the part OF the buyer, ne says. has not
only stimulated business generally, but
IS the surest barometer Of prosperous
times.
Outlook Bright.
To Mr.. Cans the outlook for 1910 Is ex-
ceedingly roseate. and he views the
awakening Of industries everywhere and
other signs Of the times as Indicating
that Washington future is definite and
assured.
For merchants as well as the peo-
pie" says Mr.. Cans, II know OF no city
in the country that gives so much prom
Use OF prosperity az washington. The
owners Of this store are so convinced Of
the truth of this that they have been
encouraged this summer TO make ex-
teusive store improvements.
Trade Increases.
And it may be said IN the larger
sense that Washington today offers a
most attractive field for all it's mer-
chants. The population Of the city is
growing by leaps and bounds and in
consequence there have been great trade
increases. Buyers have learned the val
liable lesson that they can purchase any
thing here that they can in any other
city. and as cheaply. This has centered
more trade here and has increased the
number Of business enterprises.
zone almost certain sign Of the in
creasing prosperity that has become
more than a sentiment with the people is
that they are now speD@ing more money
with merchants than they did a few
months ago. Where men and women
bought one suit formerly they now buy
two. and their incidental expenses are
more liberal We storekeepers come in
circumstances OF our patrons and we
understand the impulse that leads them
20 spend their money.
People Confident.
Because the people feel with the mer-
chants this assurance Of prosperous
times ahead they are not at all back
ward In keeping the sentiment of pros
perity alive. The business world needs
this as well as 1t does the capital with
which it invests IN stocks, and Wash

cation their liberal public support. It
Is the life Of all trade and the keynote
Of our present increasing prosperity"

Judge S. A. Mann of the munich

W., arrested for street speaking"
that free speech is God-given
and inherent right.
No sooner had Thompson been
released by the judges decision,
than he was re-arrested for con-
spiracy. The police had begun their
attack on the anarchists" along
another line. James Wilson, editor
of the Industrial Worker" the
revolutionists' official organ; C. l..
Felingo, secretary of the l. w. W.,
and Il. j. Foote, an executive from
Portland, Ore, were thrown into
Jail with him, to face the same
serious charge.
Wholesale arrests of men and
WpIltu WHO udFeu 10 assert their
rights to free speech, ensued.
These were convicted of disor-
derby conduct. Then the hunger
strike began. The martyrs to free
speech refused to pay their fines
or to work them out on the rock
pile; so, bread and water, twice
daily, was their fare. None would
eat that.
Men are being taken, sick and
half starved, from the bastile ev-
cry day to be placed under ply
sicians' care. Miss Agnes Fair, a
woman revolutionist, collapsed
after two days in the hunger strike
and was carried from the city Jail
on stretcher.
Suits. asking hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in damages, are
being filed against the city for the
brutalities of the police and be-
cause of the torturous and siken-
ing conditions of the city prison.
The end is not yet in sight.

Fifteen THOUSAND SLAVES

kidnapping, false promises of
work and wages. and the method
described above are the three
means used to swell the ranks OF
the slaves which are made vacant
by death.
"One-fifth of the slaves of Vile
Nacional are women" continues
Turner. "One-third are boys under
Is. The boys work in the fields
with the men, and they cost less.
Boys as young as 6 sometimes are
seen in the field planting tobacco.
Women are worked in the field,
too, especially at harvest timer"
The slaves are beaten and
kicked, tortured and half starved.
herded into pens closer than sar-
dimes in box, and finally, when
their death is so near that it can
be foretold to a matter of hours,
they are KICKED OFF THE
PLANTATIONS!
A little howell is maintained
where the slaves crawl to die.
Nearly always one or two dying
slaves can be found there. The
place is known as 1.-The House of
Pity"
Most of the women slaves who
grind meal and do other house,
work, only have four hours sleep.
They work. continuously the other
20. If they fall exhausted, they
are beaten or cast out to die.
1t was for aiding in the expos
ure of such rottenness as this that
the body of DeLara, friend of Tur-
ner. the writer, was sought by the
Mexicon slave barons. Once in
prison, DeLara knew his fate
would be worse than that of the
slaves.
Turner promises later. in the
January, 1910, number of the
American Magazine, to show the
character of President Diaz as he
really is. The editors of the
American Magazine say that they
believe Turner's description of
Diaz is better drawn than any
given before.

|cept for their rags. their bruises,
their squalor and their despair,
they are very fair representation
of the Mexican people"
Vile Nacional is the center of a
rich tobacco country, the most
noted in Mexico. and a garden
spot of tropical verdure. 1t lies in
a valley about twenty miles long
and few miles wide. Hemmed in
by dense jungles where pumas and
big snakes Turk, no one is foolish
enough to try to escape, unless
indeed he or she prefers death by
reptile or beast to death at the
hands of the grinding tobacco
planters.
And hundreds of persons choose
this death i'm the forests rather
than the slower death in the slave
pens every year!
Every runaway slave brings a
reward of $40 to the man or
policeman who catches and re-
turns him to his owner
1.-The planter buys his slave in
the first place for a given sum.
He works him at will, feeds or
starves him to suit himself, places
armed guards over him day or
night, beats him, pays him no
money, kills him, and the laborer
has no recourse"
The secret of the traffic in
slaves is given here. Each rural
officer is a small ear In his own
place. He has the power to jail
whom he wills. For every slave
he delivers to a labor agent he
gets a sum of money. Then the
agent turns these slaves, or "pris-
oners," over to the slave owner, or
plantation operator, and gets what
he paid plus a commission for
himself.
When the people under this pet
ty officer, who is called jefe
politicio, are law-abiding and no
one is in Jail, he gets busy.
AS a result, innocent men, Wom-
en- and children are cast into jail,
later to be made slaves, and to die
within year of their horrible
treatment, which is nothing more
or less than slow torture-mur-

Thinking the man alive, the
brakeman says, he ordered him
off, and receiving no reply, grab

horror he found that he was
clutching a dead man, and ne
felt the body growing cold under
his touch.
