flight in Memphis, today lost control of
a Curtis bipane while 100 feet in the
air late this afternoon and plunged down
into an automobile in the center Of the
field of the course. Three women and
two children narrowly escaped being
crushed to death. Mars was only slightly
injured.
Mars was at an elevation of 70 feet
when the biplane plunged downward with
terrific speed into the infield of the avia-
ton course. The machine fell on top of
a touring car, in which the women and
children were seated. The canopy top
over the touring car saved the lives of
the occupants, only one Of whom was
slightly injured.
The air craft was smashed into bits
and Mars was caught under the wreck

GIRL WILL TESTIFY
AGAINST DEAD FATHER

Admission, April 10.--(Special.) mo
little interest is manifested in the trial
of capital offense cases in the CITY
court this week, the most interesting
of all being the Cochran case in which
the defendant will be arraigned for
the murder of his father-in-law. Par
ticular human interest attaches to this
case, as it is believed that on Tuesdav v
daughter of the deceased man. a Mr.
Timms. as well as his late wife. will
take the stand in favor of the son-in
law in an effort to show that their
father and husband provoked the shot
which ended his life.
The other case of most interest will
be that of Clark Hurd. former chief of
police of Hobson City. the exclusive
negro town south OF Admission, who is
charged with fatally shooting a pris-
oner who had resisted his authority
while he was in the act OF making an
arrest. Hurd has been In Jail for some
time, and public opinion seems to be
about equally divided as to his inno-
cense and guilt.

PULLMAN SLEEPING CAR RATES
ARE CUT DOWN BY COMMISSION

prevailing upper berth rate of $3.50 is re-
duced to $1.10 between st. Paul and Su-
perior, Wis, and the upper berth rate be-
tween st. Paul and Grand Forks is re-
duced from 50 to II so. The rates pre-
vailing are approved for lower berths.
The report, written by Commissioner F.
K. Lane, is brief, and does not disclose
the exhaustive examination which was
made of the Pullman companys affairs,
but the record shows the commissions in
vestigation of the sleeping car companys s
contracts, general system of charges and
earnings, revealed annual dividends of
nearly 900 from 1899 to 1908, inclusive.
The investigation showed that the
amount carried to surplus annually did
not fall far short of the annual dividends
of per cent; that in 1898 a cash dividend
of 100000 was paid out of accumulated
surplus; in 1899 special stock dividend
of 80 per cent, amounting to SIS 900, COO,
was declared, and in 1907 another of SO per
cent. amountin gto $26,015, ,256 was declared.
During period of IL years $51,O0O.000 in
surplus cash and stock dividends were
paid in addition to the annual reports. In
1898 the stock of the company was in
creased from $36.00o, 600 to 100000, 600, of
which $20,000000 is accounted for by the
acquisition of the Wagner Palace Car
company. The remainder of the increase
of s44, 100000, and present capitalization
of surplus is nto given in the record, and
1t shows no additional capital was in
vested.

MORRIS PARK STABLES
DESTROYED BY FIRE

New York, April 10-There occurred
today the most extensive fire, In point
of area covered, that New York city
has ever known. Two miles of build
ings were BURNED, and yet with only
nominal loss.
The destroyed structures were the
stables in the Morris Park race track.
That the fire was of incendiary origin Is
evident from the fact that flames broke
out simultaneously on the northeast
and south sides of the track. Swept by
a strong wind. the flames spread rapidly
and when the firemen arrived they were
beyond control.
Morris Park, in days gone by, was
one of the most beautiful race courses
in the country and was famous as
society" track. The growth of the
city northward had rendered the tract
of land valuable for building purposes
and part of it already has been built
upon. The old stables and paddock
were soon to have been razed Recently
Morris Park has been used as a tryout
place for aeroplanes and dirigibles The
loss has not been estimated.

HALLEY'S COMET
is CLEARLY SEEN

Washington, April 1O-Halley's comet
was seen here today for the first time
on its present visit. A primary view was
obtained by Asa Hall of the naval OBJ
servatory and his associate. 1t was about
4:30 O. clock in the morning when, through
the 26-inch telescope at the observatory,
they obtained a sight Of the wonder of
the heavens which for the past three
quarters of a century has been hidden
from the eyes of the inhabitants on this
globe. For about 15 minutes the comet
remained visible. In about three weeks.
when the comet will be visible to the
naked eye, it was stated 1t will rise two
hours and 40 minutes before the sun. To-
day it came up an hour ahead of the
great luminary. The comet, therefore,
will be visible for longer and longer
period each day, although those who wish
to see 1t will be obliged to arise early.
Popular apprehension regarding harm
to the earth and it's Inhabitants during
the visit of the comet to the portion of
the universe is unfounded. In a state
ment issued tonight by Willis l.. Moore
of the weather bureau he says the re-
suit of a collision between the earth and
a comet would depend upon the mass of
the comet, the velocity of the bodies and
the angle of impact. but that in the pres
ent case collision would be impossible,
owing to a safety margin of some 13000,-
900 miles between the tracks of the earth
and the comet.
The tail of the comet, through which
the earth probably will pass. will be
noticeable only as an absolutely harmless
luminous gas or dust. 1t may produce

JURY IS TIED UP
In SAYLER CASE

Watseka, H., April 10.-Belief that the
jury in the Sayler murder trial would
fail to agree spread through the village
as hour after hour passed today with no
sign of a verdict being reached.
Through the day and evening the u
jurors argued in the little jury room and
at times their voices were raised angrily.
For nearly an hour two of the Jurors sat
at an open window and paid little atten-
ton to their companions.
Rumors Of the result of different ballots
fioated out. One which was insistently
reported placed the vote at ten for con-
viction and two for acquittal.
Late in the evening Judge Dibell sought
his room, leaving instructions to arouse
him should a verdict be reached before
midnight
Court officials and counsel were fearful
of a disagreement as the dehberations
continued with, no apparent result
The outcome in the order of greatest
probability, it was generally believed
would be disagreement and a new trial;
verdict against DR.. Miller for man
slaughter and acquittal for Mr.. Sayler
and her father; verdict finding all three
guilty of manslaughter. fixing DIR. Miller $
punishment at a long prison term with
light sentences for the two others.
That Miller was held guilty OF murder
was considered improbable and Few
thought the death penalty would be I'M
posed or that the three would be acquit-
ted.
That ]. B. Sayler was shot dead In MS
own home by man who was believed TO
have been more than friendly to Say
les wife, in the opinion Of most OF the
watchers, was figured largely in the de-
liberations of the jury.
