Sultan OF Sulu on Trip.

Colombo, Ceylon, Aug. 9.-The
Sultan of Sulu has arrived here on
his way to Europe. He is carrying
with him a huge stock of pearls
which he expects to sell in Paris and
London. After a visit TO Europe he
will go TO the United States, where
he hopes to see President Taft.
He is particularly anxious to meet
the Longworths again. He came TO
know them when they visited the
Philippines with the Taft party be-
fore their marriage.
He said to-day that he had heard
before leaving home that the New
York Customs officials have a way of
ignoring the rights even OF Sultans,
and for that reason is eager to turn
his pearls into cash and thus avoid
the payment of duties to Uncle Sam.

Racing Wing to Wing.

The race between the vanguard
pair was probably the most thrilling
event in the history Of aviation in
France. lie Blanc beat out Aubrun
by such finish as might be expected
on the turf track, but had never be-
fore been witnessed il the air. He
drove his machine to the last ounce
of it's power and finished at a speed
reckoned greater than mile min
ute.
Auburn left Troyes at 5.33.27 and
LIE Blanc at $40. The latter finished
at 7.57 and Aubrun at 500. lie
Blanc therefore covered the 100
miles in hours and Il minutes
Much of this time, however, was
spent in "iokeying" with Aubrun and
the greater part Of the course was
traversed in comparative brief brusts
of sYeed. First one aviator led and
then the other, LIE Blanc finishing
first by cutting loose eight miles
from the city. Both men used Bile
riot monoplanes. The 100 miles
were covered without stop.

Attack on Supreme Court.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Armed with
fiery resolutions adopted at an excit-
ed massmeeting, a committee OF
prominent negroes OF this city to-
day began work on plan to induce
all the negroes of the United States
to join in a protest against lynching
and race riots and to demand pro-
lection and equal rights in all parts
of the country.
Texas was denounced, the whole
South was arraigned, the Supreme
Court of the United States was in
Weighed against and the newspapers
of the country were attacked, amid
scenes that at times bordered on a
riot.
The race war at Palestine, Texas,
was the chief cause of the protest, re-
cent lynchings in Florida and the at
titude of the white people and the
press following the victory of Jack
johnson at Reno was among the mat
ters most prominently mentioned.

BOUSMAN KILLED HIMSELF.
Was Heavily in Debt-Had Accident
Policy for $6,OOO-Just Before
Death Took Out More.

Ridgeway, W. Va, Aug. 5.-That
Mayor Bousman himself lighted the
fuse that caused the xplosion that
sent his soul into eternity seems to
have been proven beyond the shadow
of a doubt by detectives who have
beeen at work on the case since the
night the mayor was literally blown
to pieces on his lawn.
The evidence seems very conclu-
sive The mayor was known to have
been heavily in debt. He carried an
accident policy for $4,000, and few
days before he met his death he took
out two life insurance policies, one
for $1,000 and one for $4,000, CIV
ing notes in payment for them.
He had of late been experimenting
with dynamite, and the two sacks
that were found near the scene were
identified positively as some that he
had purchased a day or so previous.
The conclusion of the detectives
is accepted by practically everybody
in Ridgeway; even by members Of
the mayors family, it is said.

ed any considerable discomfort from
heat among the assembled thousands.
More than 10000 knights we're In
line, while over half a million spec
tators sat in the huge reviewing
stand occupying the entire east side
of Michigan Boulevard as far south
as Twelfth street or stood patiently
along the line Of march.
