Gus Injury--A Thrilling Close OF
The First Aviation Meet In The
Tennessee City.

Memphis, Tenn. Especially Los
ing control of Curtiss biplane which
he was operating at height of rs
feet, j. c. Mars plunged downward
with terrific speed into the infield
of the aviation course here, alight-
ing on top of a seven-passenger tour
ing car in which we're seated three
women and two children.
The canopy top over the touring
car saved the lives of its occupants,
only one of whom was slightly in
Jured. The biplane smashed into
Dlts and Mars was caught under the
Wreckage, but escaped with no in
Jurles worse than severely bruised
and wrenched knee and a slight cut
on his chin.
In the automobile when the aero.
plane crashed into 1t were Mrs. Ed.
ward Ritter, Miss Edna Ritter,
Louis Ritter and Mrs. Wilmer Smith
and child. Mrs. Ritter was the only
one to be injured, receiving a slight
cut in the shoulder. Mr. Ritter was
standing at the side of the car, hav.
Ing just finished fastening up the
NohOpJ lOp. ne was huOChGu uOWD
by one of the planes of the ma.
chine.
The accident brought to a thrill
ing close Memphis first aviation
meet. Thousands of people followed
the aviator in his flight across the
mile course, saw his machine caught
in a sudden gust of wind, spin
around like a top to an angle right
of the line of his original course
and then plunge downward.
Terrified screams from women
were heard on all sides as the BIZ
plane landed squarely on the auto
mobile. The occupants of the car
huddled on the floor of the tonneau
as the biplane struck the engine
hood of the automobile and then
toppled over the canopy top. Mars
had shut off his engine when the
aeroplane started downward.
In few moments scores of spec
tators were dragging the wreckage
from the automobile, first taking
out Mars and then the occupants
of the touring car.

EXPLOSION AND
PANIC ON SHIP
Many Persons Injured on the
Steamer CairnrOna.
THE MEN FIGHT FOR THE BOATS.

ting On A Hatch When Explosion
Occurs--Hurled To All Parts OF
The Deck And Some OF Them Ter
ribly Injured--Men Fight With
The Women In A Mad Scramble
To Reach Boats--Steamer Bound
For Portland, Me.

Dover, England Especially A ter
rifle explosion occurred on the Brit
ish steamer Cairnrona, off Dungeon
ess. which wrecked the women's
quarters, killing one child and injur-
ing number OF women and chill
dren. The steamer caught fire and
a panic ensued, in which men fought
for the possession of the boats and
had to be beaten back by the crew
to allow the women to be taken off
first.
A large number of the passengers
were landed here, many of them in
an exhausted condition. In all,
twenty were severely injured and
not less than so were slightly in
jured by the explosion and in the
panic that followed 1t.
The Cairnrona sailed from London
for Portland, Me. She carried 900
passengers, for the most part emil
grants, and a general cargo. BY
great good luck the steamers Up
land and Kanawha where close at
hand when the Cairnrona caught
fire. They stood by and took off
several hundred passengers and
landed them here.
Several of the first-class passen-
gers and American cattlemen gave
thrilling details of the accident. A
number of women with children in
their arms were sitting on a hatch
when suddenly a violent explosion
hurled them to all parts of the deck.
Some of them were shockingly in
jured and one child was killed. The
hatch was blown to fragments.
A terrible panic ensued, the emf
grants, mostly Russians, running up
and down, screaming and wringing
their hands. Their terror was in
creased by the volumes of smoke
which poured from the burning hold.
The captain and officers made in
effectual efforts to calm them, and
then signals of distress were sent up.
In the meantime another explosion
occurred in the engine-room, injur-
ing several OF the engineers.
The Kanawha and Upland steam
ed up quickly and the captain de-
cided to transfer all the passengers.
This was accomplished speedily, but
was accompanied by scandalous
scenes. Scores of the men tried to
rush the boats and many of them
fought with the women, tearing and
dragging them aside and even
trampling them under foot. The
! crow battled vailantly against the
panic-stricken emigrants, using fists
and feet and any weapon they could
find.
Not few OF the frantic mob of
men were felled to the deck before
the hysterical, iainting women and
children could be gotten into the
boats. In the stampede four persons
fell or were pushed into the sea and
were rescued with difficulty.
The Kanawha and Upland reached
Dover with the rescued passengers
late in the afternoon and the scenes
at the landing were piteous. Ex-
hausted by cold many of them half
| famished and others suffering from
| injuries. they were brought ashore
and supplied with food, clothing and
medical attendance. Admiral Prince
Louis of Battenburg and the Prin-
cess with the British naval officers

new DOCK FOR
BIG VESSELS
Perth Amboy Dry Dock
Company Planning for
Extensive Changes.
MORE STORAGE ROOM

Several Improvements are under
way at the yards of the Perth AM
boy Dry Dock Company, at the foot
Of Broad street. The present stor-
age house is being removed to make
more room In the yard, and other
changes are being made to secure
more ground for the erection and
repairing of vessels. Plans for the
erection of large new dry dock
have ben taken up and 1t looks as
though the structure is assured. A
similar proposition came up for con-
sideration about year ago and the
site south of the company's present
docks was dredged.
II new dock is built, 1t will be
the largest in this part of the coun-
try, being constructed so as to ac-
commodate the largest vessels than
can enter this port. The company
now has three docks, which are al
most constantly in use.
Besides the foregoing changes
there are scheduled to be other i'm
provements. Engineers Larson &
Fox have surveyed the property and
are making map of the holdings
of the company. When this map
has been completed 1t will be viewed
and 1t will be decided by the concern
just what the future changes will
be.

WATER BOARD
TALK SUPPLY
Plan at Meeting Last Night
for Changes at Pumping
Station.
CHANGE PIPE SYSTEM

In accordance with plans of the
Board of Water Commissioners to
use the Worthington and Snow
pumps at Runyon as unit when
the new 100000 gallon Wiscon-
sin pump is erected, action was ta-
ken at the meeting of the board last
night to make the necessary
changes. 1t is planned to install
the now unused Snow pump near
the Worthington engine, and to use
both for the general supply. The
Wisconsin pump will be used at in
tervals, but it will be relied on more
for future supply.
1t will be necessary to make sew
eral changes In the pipe system, in
curing an expense of about 81 200
or $1,400. Plans were submitted
last night by Engineer Samuel J..
Mason showing the proposed changes
including suction, discharge and
steam piping. Bids will be received
at the next meeting of the board for
supplies and pipe to make the pro-
posed changes.
In addition to the pipe, 1t will be
necessary to purchase large pipe
threading machine. Superintendent
CfOWoli was instructed laSt uiSHt TO
advertise for bids on the former and
to purchase the latter.
Residents of Brodhead plae5 Pc
titioned last night for an extension
of the main on that thoroughfare
from New Brunswick avenue TO
Sayre avenue. The petition was re-
| ferred to the pipe committee.
Concerning the bid of $1e3 for
| the two old boilers at Runyoa which
Vas received at the last meeting,
| Comptroller Rhodes in communi-
| cation to the board last night voiced
his approval. He said that another
advertisement for the sale of the two
| boilers would incur only additional
expense, as he believed the same
/ bidder would offer the same price,
and there would be no competitors.
He stated that he believed the price
fair. The bid was from the Fords
Terra Gotta Sanitary Works.
G. D. Snedeker, Vice-president of
the board, who has been travelling

ITALY FEARS
REVOLUTION

gaeoial by United Press Wire.
Rome, Nov. Revolutionary ac-
tivity is developing SO rapidly
throughout Italy that today there Is
a growing fear among the royalty
that King Victor Emmanuel may be
the next ruler to suffer the fate OF
King Manuel of Portugal, whose
throne was swept away over night.
The spirit of unrest is now affecting
every quarter of the country. II is
probably due to the recent prodi-
gious increase in the cost of living.
Hardly a day passes that there are
not reports of clashes between SOL
diers and the peasantry.
The cost OF food products is so
high that it Is stated hundreds OF
thousands of the population in the
poorer parts of the country are on
the verge of starvation and some Of
the better classes are finding it diff
ficult to meet the expenses OF living.
