Nexicans and Americans Fight.

Trinidad, Colo, June 13.-The
authorities today are investigating
the cause of battle between Mexi-
cans and Americans at the camp of
the Victor-American Fuel Co., in
which one man was killed and sew
eral injured. The fight, it is be-
lieved, was the outcome Of bitter
feeling between the Americans and
Mexicans, because the Americans be-
lieved the Mexicans domineered the
camp.

at 1888 a. M, and arrived at Phlla-
delphia at s.2S, completing the first
half Of his round trip journey be-
tween New York and Philadelphia
in one hour and SO minutes, estab-
iished the longest sustained flight
without stopping made in the history
OF American aviation.
Hamilton started on his return
journey at 1885 a. m.
1T was the most beautiful flight ]
ever had" said Hamilton. "The
weather was grand"
The crowds first view Of the aero
plane was over Frankenord station
IT seemed quivering in mid-air
swooping upward and downward in
5O-foot dips.
Hamilton bore letter from Gov
ernor Hughes of New York to Cover
nor Stuart, of Pennsylvania. When
he delivered the missive to Governor
Stuart, the governor congratulated
him on his successful fight. Ham
ilton also bore a letter from the New
York Times to the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger. After delivering this he
hurried to a hotel for luncheon.
Hamilton three times circled the
aviation field at Front and Erie
streets and then landed a block
from the field. He was surrounded
by 10000 cheering persons and hun
dreds fought for the opportunity to
grasp his hand.
In the center of the Maelstrom %
men, women and children Hamilton
said Anyone got any, cigarettes
A dozen packages were thrust to-
ward him. The aviator accepted
one and almost instantly scores of
matches we're lit and held toward
him.
Hamilton passed Bristol on the re-
turn trip at 11:53; Trenton at
1903; Princeton at 1918, and New
Brunswick at 1894.
He was going so miles an hour
and his pathfinder train was Ave
miles behind him at Trenton.
Hamilton passed Metuchen, N. j.,
at 12:4S and Elizabeth at 1858.
South Amboy, ~ j., June 13.---
Hamilton descended on the north
shore of the Raritan river near here.
The aviator apparently was not in
jured. He began to work at the en-
gine of his aeroplane
Failure of the spark plugs to act
caused the engine to miss
fire. Hamilton landed in a marsh
and was compelled to trundle his
machine for some distance to firm
ground
He expected to renew his fight at
8 o'clock,

South Amboy N. j., June 13.--Af-
ter repairing his engine which broke
down just before he could complete
his round trip flight between New
York and Philadelphia, Charles K
Hamilton, the aviator, was COM
PEELED to abandon his flight this at
ternoon because of broken propel-
ler.
Hamilton probably will not reach
New York before tomorrow night or
Wednesday. After he descended to
the Meadows near here he attempted
to start the motor. The propeller,
which had been acting badly, broke
and Hamilton was compelled to land
again He will send to New York
for another propeller.

GREEN MUST WAIT
HIGH COURT TRIAL
Attorney Accused of Having Killed
Professor Skidmore Held
by Police Judge
LAWYERS DEFER ARGUMENT
Letter Written by the Victim to
Woman Will Be Potent
Factor in Case

Howard Green, the local attorney
who is accused of having killed
Thomas d. Skidmore, a college profess
sor of Rio Grande City, Texas, Septem-
Der 80, was bound over to the superior
court yesterday by Police Judge VIII
liams, who conducted Green's prellm-
mary examination at the University
police court. In accordance with the
law in all murder cases, Green was
returned to the county Jail to await
trial, no bail being granted.
Few witnesses were called. A son
of the dead professor, Thomas B. Skid
more, of Pasadena testified that his
father was addicted to the use of
drugs. The principal in the case
and his wife, over whom it Is
claimed by the attorneys for the de-
fense the shooting occurred, both re-
fused to testify and the letter which
Skidmore wrote Mrs. Green the day be-
fore his death was the only evidence
introduced in behalf of the defense.
Mrs. Green, accompanied by her
young daughter, entered the court
room shortly before the case was called
She was heavily yelled and seemed to
show no emotion until the letter to
her from Sl1idmore was read, when
she exhibited signs of being on the
verge of collapse. During the nearing
Green sat at the table with his attor-
news and not once did he appear to
notice his wife.
ATTORNEYS DEFEND ARGUMENT
Green's attorneys stated yesterday
that they made no case at the pre-
Iiminary hearing because they did not
care to reveal the character of the de-
fense they would offer at the main
trial. Neither Green nor his wife
would say much about the affair, Mrs.
Green simply stating that she would
stand by her husband always and that
when the case came to trial the de-
tense would make showing when
would acquit her husband.
Skidmore's letter to Mrs. Green was
published the morning of October l by
The Herald. It was lengthy and re-
markable epistle that promises to be
the most potent factor in the trial OF
the case. In it Skidmore bade Mrs
Green farewell, evidently having as
sented to a declaration thatt his at
tentions must cease. At the same time
he professed an overpowering love fol
her. There was no suggestion of undue
intimacy in their relations.
The Greens came to Los Angeles
from Battle Creek, Mich, where Green
had a prominent place in the life OF
the community. There is tremendous
interest in that city in the outcome OF
the case. If Skidmore followed the
Greens from Texas to Battle Creek,
and by his attentions to Mrs. Green in
the latter city impelled the Greens to
leave and come to Los Angeles, neither
Green nor his wife can be persuaded
to say so. 1t is admitted, however,
that Skidmore knew Mrs. Green many
years.

Clinging to a brakebeam of a speed
