FOUR AYIATORS IN
 THE AIR AT ONCE

New Orleans, December 26-With Ro- land Garros high above the field trying for altitude, and Moisant, Simon and Hamilton chasing each other about the race course at the City park aviation field, four aeroplanes were In the air at once this afternoon, for the first time at any meet in the United States except at Belmont park. Garros, in 50-horsepower Bleriot monoplane, 64s5 feet up was float ing like some huge bird, while in the lower attitudes Moisant, in his famous prize winner monoplane, '"The Red Devil" Simon In a Bleriot, and Hamilton in his biplane were racing around the course playing and sporting with death-daring turns and dips
 When simon started aloft in this event Moisant was making long glide from several hundred feet up. He saw Simon dashing at him just in time to dip, swing gracefully under the ascending French man, and then rise suddenly to avoid the tent hangar directly in his path. 1t was one of the most daring feats, say the aviators, ever performed in an aeroplane.
 One of the features of the afternoon was a fve-mile monoplane- automobile race, which was won by Moisant. The time was not fast owing to the automo- bile not being a racing machine. No rec ords were broken but the exhibition flights were of an unusually brilliant character.
 The total elapsed time the different men were In the air was as follows:
 Moisant, 39 minutes, 404- seconds; Simon. 40 minutes. 42 seconds Barrier. 21 minutes, 35 3-5 seconds: Hamilton. biplane, minutes, 8 4-5 seconds; Garros, 25 min utes, 10 4-5 seconds.
 Garros made the highest altitude flight, while the fastest mile during the day was made by Moisant in 1 minute. 4-5 seconds. Hamilton had engine trou- bles again today.
 The. largest crowd of the meet so far was Out today.

 The citizens of Hot Springs did not know of the killing until later in tho day. The mob covered the deputy sher- if with guns and demanded the pris- oner. telling him that the slightest re- sistauce on his part meant death to thsfh both. The body of Chitwood was rfddled with bullets and left where 1t fell and was removed later by the of- icers. He was shot once in the head and once in the left nipple. One bull let entered his hand as he threw 1t up to ward off bullets.
 After Chitwood was shot the mem- bers of the mob. with the exception of one man, who was left to guard the deputy sheriff, filed out of the jailyard He kent fha xxri+ h i- revolver for a short time and ther, backed out of the yard with his gun still covering the deputy
 None of the prisoners in the jail were mnlested and in 10 minutes after the tragedy all was as quiet around the prison as If nothing unusual had oc- cured.
 The lynching took place in an en- closure between the jail and the court house built for the execution of an- other prisoner, who was hanged last September Three men in the mob did the actual shooting, while the others waited outside the enclosure. Chit wood was handcuffed and was being taken out Of the jail by deputy. who was ordered to raise up his hands.
 Prosecutor Wood said today he would Investigate the story told by Deputy Sheriff John Rutherford, who was guarding the prisoner. Wood said he wanted to ascertain how the mob learned that Chitwood was to be taken to Little Rock Just as we stepped out of the jail door three or four men .-I think there were three-stepped into the enclosure from the street door," said Rutherford. They wore black handkerchiefs over their faces and each carried a revolver.
 They aimed their revolvers at my head and one told me to put up my hands. did not have time to draw my own revolver, and anyway, from the way that man spoke, I knew he meant business. So I threw up my hands.
 'Chitwood did not say a word. He was handcuffed and I had no chance to make a fight So while he stood there looking at them, and stood beside him with my hands in the air, the three men shot him to death"

Crime on One Page.

The segregation of all accounts OF
crime in newspaper on one page was
the idea presented to the Federation
of Women's Clubs in annual session
at Rochester, N. Y, by Mrs. A. G.
Fisk, newspaper and magazine writer.
The Federation, after Mrs. Fisk's
address, adopted resolutions in favor
of the plan, which, If adopted by
newspapers, would allow subscribers
to tear out the crime page of the
paper before their children could read
of the murders, robberies, elopements,
divorces and other too frank adult
doings.
II have talked with proprietors of
the largest papers from the Pacific
Coast to Rochester," said Mrs. Fisk,
"and they are perfectly willing to
segregate crime in their issues if the
people want 1t served that way.
1.-THE colored Sunday supplement
is an insult to intelligence that must
go. 1t is viciously crude, and the tone
of its influence fills the youthful mind
with unruly ideas. One good thing
about it is that 1t is segregated, so
that parents may keep it from their
children IL they wish. The papers
segregate baseball and other sporting
news, financial news and editorials;
why not crime?
ut should be the aim of the Fed
Grafton to create wholesome public
cantiment for c1naner newsnaners and
then the publishers will provide
them"
Mrs. Ina Brevoort Roberts, New
York newspaper woman, said that
club women must learn that courteous
treatment of reporters pays, and that
abuse of newspapers is a sign of ig-
norance.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
RAIL ORDERS REPORTED.
Best Demand, However, Con-
tinues to Be for Structural
Shapes, East and West.

Cleveland-The "Iron Trade Re-
view'' says:
SIN addition to the heavy sales of
pig iron made TO pipe companies last
week, some additional tonnages have
been purchased, and these companies
are anxious to secure more of the
lower grades. The general price of
No. . foundry iron, Birmingham, is
now $14 for the first quarter, and this
price can be done for the first half.
There are some soft spots in the mar
ket and in the Pittsburgh and Cleve-
land districts there has been some
rather sharp competition, the mini
mum quotations being on base of

1.-The Illinois Steel Company re-
ports rail sales of 81 900 tons in addi-
tion to the Illinois Central tonnage
previously reported. Purchases by
the Hartman lines since June
amountto over 100000 tons. 1t is note
worthy, however, that purchases Of
steel rails by Eastern lines this year
have been limited. Many railroads
have confined their buying largely
to rolling stock, on which prices have
been low In the Eastern territory,
no very large contracts for structural
material have been placed, but the
aggregate tonnage of small orders is
good.
''lt has been decided by important
Lake Superior ore interests that there
will be an advance of 30 cents per ton
on Bessemer grades, and that there
will be no change in the base guar
antee of iron of either Bessemer or
non-Bessemer grades"
