ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. Is

A PREACHER in northern repub!i-
can newspaper. who is suffering from
the Roosevelt mania, says:
Plato in the Apology gives the words
OF Socrates: Il am sort OF gadtly
given to the state by God, and the state
IS like great and noble steed who IS
tardy in his motions owing to biz very
size, and requires to be stirred into
lite." Because the greatest OF the
Greeks attempted this work, Athens
forced Socrates to drink the hemlock.
The words OF the Grecian sage apply to
Roosevelt The United States, es-
pecially the republican party. because
OF its very size, required to be stirred
into life. Roosevelt has acted the
part of the gadhy. Some have tried to
force him to drink the hemlock. But
he is not yet dead, nor is he about to
die. He will live when his dctractors
are forgotten; nc will live when the
only note OF many men will DC that
they vain!y tried to destroy him.
Admirers OF the Grcclan sage Will re-
volt at this comparison, and he as in
dignant as we're all sensible people a
few days ago when another minister
called atlcption to the fact that Roose-
velt's given name signitied gilt OF

PARLIAMENTTO BE DISSOLVED
General Election to be Held Before
Christmas-Premier Asquith Defiant.

General Election to be Held BEFORE
Christmas-Premier Asquith Defiant.
London, Nov. 1S.-Parliament will
be dissolved on November IS, accord
ing to an announcement by Premie,
Asquith today. This ensures the gem
eral elections before Christmas. The an
nouncement that the issue would be the
House of Lords, while expected came as
shock to many Englishmen who had
hoped that King George would be able
to reconcile the warning elements. The
premier was defiant when he arose to
address the Honse OF Commons today,
and made it plain that the liberals were
determined that the people should be
given the opportunity to say whether
the Lords we're to be retained as part OF
the British legislative system.
1T is useless to continue the farce
longer, said the premier, to reform
the House OF Lords and at the same
time permit it to retain its right OF veto
OF necessary legislation. It is simply to
make farce OF government. The sug-
gestions OF compromise that have been
made have not been for the interests OF
all the people. The government has a
distinct programme planned and that
programme is to be carried out. The
cabinet has discussed all OF the sug-
gestions OF compromise and has decided
that none of them are feasible. 1t has
therefore recommended to King George
that parliament lie dissolved on Nov
ember 28."
The announcement that the parting
of the ways had been rushed was re-
ceived with loud cheering from the
benches occupied by the liberal mem
bers. After the session adjourned
they hurried to congratulate the mem
bers OF the cabinet and then started the
machinery OF election working.
The news that the break had come
and that its compromise proposals had
been rejected, was given to the House
of LORDS by Lord Crew, leader OF the
liberals in the upper chamber. As
he made his statement hush camo
over the assemblage. All OF the here
ditary members realized fully that the
announcement meant the end OF their
activity in the public life OF the en-
pire. There was little doubt in their
minds that they expected the result 0!
the election will be q liberal triumph
and their feelings were reflected III
their gloomy countenance.

AVIATOR TOMBSTONE KILLED.

with one Wig up OF HIS lllCbiue
crumbled like 4 piece of paper Ralph
tombstone, the young aviator, holder
Of the worlds altitude record, dropped
like 4 plummet from height OF 500
feet into The inclosurc at Overland Park
aviation field at Denver yesterday and
was instantly killed.
When the spectators crowded about
the inclcsuro and reached him his body
lay beneath the engine of the biplane.
with the white planes that had failed
him in his time of need wrapped about
it like a shroud. Nearly every bone in
his body was broken.
The fatal flight was the second John
stone had made yesterday afternoon.
In the first flight, when he was in the
air with Roxscy and Brookins, he had
gone through his usual programme of
dips and glides, with the machine ap-
parently under perfect control. Then
tombstone rose again and after few
circuits of the course to gain height,
headed toward the foothills.
Still ascending, he swept back in a
circle and as he reached the north end
of the enclosure he started his spiral
glide. Hc was then at an altitude OF
about 800 feet. With his plane tilted
at All angle OF almost 80 degrees he
swooped down in narrow circle, the
aeroplane seeming to turn almost in its
own length. AS he started the second
circle the middle spur, which braces
the left side Of the lower plane gave way
and the wing tips of both upper and
lower planes folded up as though they
had been hinged. For second john
stone attempted to right the plane by
varying the other wing tip. Then the
Mortified spectators saw the plane
swerve like wounded bird and plunge
straight toward the earth.
tombstone was thrown from his seat
as the nose OF the plane swung dowL-
ward.
He caught on one of the wire stays
between the planes and grasped one OF
the wooden braces OF the upper plane
with both hands. Then working with
hands and feet, he fought with main
strength to warp the planes SO that
their surface might catch the air and
check their descent. For second it
seemed that he might succeed, for the
football helmet he wore blew off and
fell much more rapidly than the plane.
The hope was mementary, however,
for when about 500 feet from the
ground the machine turned completely
over and the spectators fed wildly as
the broken plane, with the aviator still
fighting grimly to its mesh wires and
stays, plunged among them with
crash.
Scarcely had tombstone hit the ground
before morbid men and women
swarmed over the wreckage lighting
with each other for souvenirs. One Of
the broken wooden stays had gone al
most through Johnstone's body. Be-
fore doctors or police could reach tho
scene one man had torn this splinter
from the body and run away, carrying
his trophy with the ayiator's blood still
from its ends.
The crowd tore away the canvas from
over the body and even fought for the
gloves that had protested Johnstone's
hands from the cold.

NEGRO BURGLAR SHOT.

When little son of James f. Devin,
Of Germantown, Md, awoke Tuesday
night to sec big negro with an open
razor four feet from his fathers bed,
he did not yell, but shook his father
awake.
Mr.. Deyin got to his gun before the
negro got through the window. He is
positive his shot took effect, as he
heard the thud of falling body.
Mr.. Devin had only the one cartridge
and hesitated about making himself
conspicuous. He saw that the intruder
had several companions outside, who
assisted him to get away. He is positive
his shot took effect, probably in the
negro's back, as he vas going over the
window sill.
Next morning Mr.. Devin found
boxes piled up against tho wall OF his
house, showing that the ascent was
ma lie that way.
Sheriff Welt heard Wednesday that
a Germantown negro had applied at 9
Washington hospital for treatment for
gun-shot wound in the back.
It is thought there will be little
trouble catching the negro.
Mr.. Devin recently had a negro
arrested on the charge Of keeping q
disorjerly house. He hesitated to swear
out warrant for the woman because
he feared bodily injury. But his family
had stood the disorder, he said, as long
rs possible, and he took a chance.
With his family, Mr.. Deyin is highly
regarded, and the county is stirred as
it has not been for years.

SUFFRAGETTES ON RAMPAGE.
Concerted Attack Upon the Police
Mounted Police Ride into Crowd of
Angry Women.

London, Nov. 1S.-Near riots have
been in progress in and about the par
lament building all day as the result OF
the activity OF the suffragettes.
Three hundred and fifty of the more
militant made concerted attack upon
the police guard in an effort to enter
the structure. They were dispersed as
gently as possible, but renewed the
attack time and again. Enormous
crowds, majority in sympathy with
the women. gathered and assisted them
in their efforts to force their way
through the police.
Finally it became necessary to sum-
mon more guards, and a Gordon was,
thrown all about the vicinity. This in
stead of dishearting the workers, SEEM
ed to give them fresh courage and they
rushed the guards in mass bringing
football tactics into play.
The police managed to drive them
back without any more damage than
slight disarrangcment of costumes.
Later in the day the row developed
serious aspect as the result of the ad-
vent on the scene OF hundreds Of hood
lums who attacked the women. In
several instances they actually tore the
clothing from the backs OF the suffra.-
gettes and a group fighting followed
which made it necessary for the police
to use stern, repressive methods and to.
make 200 arrests.
Many sailors from tho American
squadron we're interested spectators OF
the methods OF the advocates of equal
suffrage.
Finally the authorities ordered the
mounted police to the scene. They
forced their horses into the crowd and
after great deal of trouble succeeded
in clearing the space about the build
ing. Dozens Of women were Knocked
down and cut and bruised during the
rioting, but mono was seriously hurt.
A dozen OF the suffragettc leaders
we're arrested.
