Bring About Amicable Settle
ment With Operators.

NEW YORK, July S.-New York en-
ters today upon the second day OF a

pected. The exact number of strikers
is not yet definitely known. but 1t is
estimated at $4,000. About 1.5oO shops
are affected.
Hope for a speedy settlement Is given
by the attitude Of the employing manu-
facturers. After the strike was called
yesterday afternoon the employers
formed an organization to be known as
the Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufac-
turers' Association. 1t was stated that
the organization was not formed for
the purpose of fighting the strike and
that the manufacturers preferred an
amicable settlement II 1t were possible.
A statement given out on behalf of the
association said:
From first to last since the strike
talk began no conferences were pro-
posed to the manufacturers by the
cloak-makers or their leaders, and they
were never officially notified of any de-
mands. The association decided to
call meeting for p. m. Friday. when
a harmony committee win be appointed
to ask for arbitration to end the
STRIKE
Cloak-makers continued to quit work
up to D. m. yesterday, and many OF
the largest factories were left without
a single employee.

Baroness De la Roche the first
French woman aeroplanist. was serf-
ously injured here this afternoon by
falling from q height of fifty metres.
The Baroness De la Roche had
flown around the field once at a height
of eighty metres, when suddenly in
front of the applauding tribunes she ap-
peared to become frightened and con-
fused at the approach OF two other
aeroplanes She started to descend,
but while still fifty metres from the
ground lost control of the machine.
The aeroplane turned over and fell
like log. The baronesgs legs and
arlns were broken. Her mangled and
bloody body was removed from the
wreckage and conveyed to the hospital,
where the doctors. after a careful ex-
animation, declared that the baroness's

injuries, was not her first mishap. On
January last she was seriously In
jured at the Chalons aviation field. In
circling the course with her biplane she
made wide turn and crashed into a
tree, being unable to elevate her ma
chine quickly enough to dodge it. She
fell from height of twenty feet and
was taken to the military hospital
unconscious. Her right shoulder was
dislocated and internal injuries We're
feared, but she recovered soon.

miles,
The baroness was one OF the pioneers
of aviation She had also. driven
motor boats In races and automobiles
at exhibitions. and as soon as flying
became practical she learned how to
manage the biplane. There are seven
oiher woman ayiators in France.
While momentarily conscious the
baroness explained that the rush of air
from motor passing over her head
had frightened her, whereupon she
cut the ignition and lost control OF her
A9achine.

CHARL TON CASE
AGAIN POSTPONED;
he MAY GO FREE
Extradition Papers Have Not
Been Received, and 60-day
Warrant Expires Aug. u.

NEW YORK. July S.-A further ad-
3ournment today of the hearing of Por-
ter Charlton In the Court of Oyer and
Terminer In Jersey City to August II
forecasts an early ending Of the case
The papers demanding Charlton's ex-
tradition to Italy to stand trial for kill
ing his wife. Mrs. Mary Scott-Castle-
Charlton, at Lake Como. have not been
received. and unless the state depart
ment at Washington takes some action
within the next few weeks Charlton
will be discharged from the custody of
the Jersey court.
Charlton Is held on a sixty-day war
rant and the time will expire on Au-
gust 22.
Should italy demand Charlton's ex-
tradition the state department will re-
ject the demand unless italy agrees in
future to turn over to US all Italians
who have committed crimes in this
country and then fed to Italy This
Italy, it Is understood, will decline to
do.
Charlton's counsel had indicated his
intention OF applying for an adjourn
ment of the hearing on the ground
that the international phases of the
case had not yet definitely shaped
themselves. There were some reports
that the aiienists who have been ex-
arnining the youth almost daily in his
cell are ready to submit their findings
on his mental condition and would bear
out the claim of his father, Judge Paul
Charlton. that the young man was
mentally irresponsible and therefore
nnt a f7t subject for extradftion Charl-
toms attorneys. however. gave no con-
firmation of these reports, and it was
assumed that the alientsts' report, as
had been previously intimated, would
be withheld until 1t was seen what
course the federal authorities purposed
taking on the extradition application.
