Lawrence. Kas., July 12-"Pr:ze

This is the statement made today by
Prof. Maurice Parmelee of the de-
partment Of sociology Of the Univer-
sity of Kansas.
1.-THE great mistake that is COM

.|NSURRECT|ON FOR
STOCK BROKERS
The Negro Uprising in Cuba
Had No Very Serious
Background

Havana. July 12.-The purpose of
the conspiracy for which the mulatto,
Col. Jorje Valera. and his associates
were arrested yesterday, was to COM
pei the American Intervention, ac-
cording to the governments informa-
ton. The secretary of the interior
has issued an official statement that
it was learned some days ago the
conspiracy existed with the design Of
blowing up the bridges and railways
and the destruction of the property
of the foreigners. The investigation
resulted in the discovery that the sus-
poets were in constant comnlunica-
tion with stock broker whose name
is not known. A description of him
has been obtained and the police are
making an active search for him. The
arrests were delayed until the four
ccnspirators had started for Viaja
Bermeja. where. it is believed, they
intended to begin operations. When
arrested one of the conspirators,
named Valeriano Pico, voluntarily de-
clared the whole conspiracy was a
fake and merely an attempt to make
a pretense of an uprising to break
the local stock market by committing
some damage, not serious, to property.

always been regarded as a consider
able hardship. and its repeal is sure
to be immensely popular with all
classes. On the other hand, the late
war in northern Africa brought home
to the people the inequality by which
the better off classes were able to
escape the dangers of national service
in return for a financial Quid pro quo.
The consequent decision of the gov
ernment to render this no longer pos
sible Is another proposal which will
tend to give increased stability to the
present cabinet.
There appears. indeed, to be little
desire on the part of the other parties
to bring about the fall of the govern
ment. The Republicans would have
little to gain by the substitution of
Senor Maura for Senor Canalejas. and
they have made this plain In their
speeches in the opening debates. On
the other hand, Senor Maura is ap-
parently in no hurry to become again
responsible for the conduct of the
government, and is for the moment
lending Senor Canalejas benevolent
support. The danger of the govern
ment seems to lie rather in the vari-
Gus divisions of which the Liberal
party is composed. If Senor Canale-
jas is equal to preventing this ten
dency to Liberal disruption. there is
no combination at the moment capa-
BILE OF defeating him.

Madrid, July 12.-The speech from

FAINTER FELL
SEVEN STORIES
Life Line Broke Fall and He
Escaped With Slight
Injuries

Philadelphia, July 12.-Almost as
by a miracle. Harry Burkholder. a
painter, saved himself from instant
death while on the outside of the Gov
ington apartment building at Thirty
seventh and Chestnut streets today.
when by accident he jerked the SWING
Ing scaffold on which he and a COM
panion were working loose from its
hook and plunged downward.
As the plank on which he rested
gave way his hands came in contact
with the life line which was hang
ing close to the wall from point
above him and extending all the way
to the ground. Desperately he
grasped It.
Like q flash he slipped downward.
the whole seven stories. He was un-
able to hold to the line, and he fell
with terrific rapidity. The rope
burned the skin from his hands as he
dropped. But at last he was able
to check his fall to such an extent
that he Is not seriously hurt. But
for the rope he must have been killed
when he struck the hard granolithic
pavement.
His companion on the ladder es-
capped by his quickness of thought and
action. He was. looking at Burkholder
when the latter took hold of the rope
to lower the scaffold.D He saw the
plank drop out of place, and in an
instant he had leaped for an open
window. :. He fell sprawling across
the window ledge. half in and half
out. and with mighty effort pulled
hA H,,;1
Persons who saw the accident say
that Burkholder seemed to go straight
downward. He struck the ground on
his feet and was unconscious. Samuel
Mason, a fireman attached to engine
company No. 5, saw the fall and ran
to him.
A passing automobile was stopped
and the unconscious man was placed
in it. A rapid run was made to the
Presbyterian hospital. Once there
the men who had taken Burkholder
were surprised to find that he was
still breathing. Their surprise was
greater when he opened his eyes. and
the doctors after careful examina-
tion declared that he was not serious
ly injured.
An examination of the block and
tackle which held the scaffolding in
place, which was made afterwards,
showed that everything was intact.
This statement was borne out by the
painter who was with Burkholder at
the time of the accident.
According to the latter, Burkholder
had just seized hold of the rope to
drop the scaffold platform a foot or
two. 1t pulled hard and he gave it a
savage jerk. This caused the plank
to slide out of its position. and the
next instant Burkholder was slipping
rapidly down the rope, while his COM
panion was clinging desperately to
the window ledge with sixty feet of
void beneath him.

WILL TAKE ACTION
Government Will Insist on Fair Treat
ment for Pittman

Washington, July 12-Several con-
sultations were held at the state de-
partment on the possible action Of
the United States in connection with
the removal Of William Pittman, the
American engineer. from Blufields
Bluff to Managua Pittman had been
held for several weeks by the Ma
driz forces as a prisoner of war at
the bluff.
Acting Secretary Of State Wilson
has called in his International law
advisers to assist him in arriving at
a decision in the matter. It is gen.
orally believed that the department
will be content with instructing Unit
ed States Consul Olivares at Managua
to insist again upon fair treatment for
Pittman, and to watch the procedure
at NIanagua with a view to guard
Ing against injustice.
Mail reports which have reached
the department tell of the efforts Of
Madriz to raise money. Forced loans
it Is said. are being exacted par
ticularly from those suspected Of be-
ing hostile to the Madriz government.
The most frequent procedure Is re-
ported to be to make a demand for a
loan. one-halt to be paid within twen-
ty-four hours and the remainder in
three days. with an increase Of twen-
ty-f1ve per cent in the event that pay
ment is not forthcoming. Police or
soldiers surround the house Of the
victim and shut OF all means Of Sc
curing food and other necessities if
the money is not paid. In one IN
stance, at least, It Is said, the loan
demanded amounted to $4,000.

AVIATOR ROLLS
KILLED IN FALL
FROM B|PLANE
Machine Buckled When Forty
Feet From Ground and
Turned Over
VICTIM MADE FIRST DOUBLE
TRIP ACROSS THE CHANNEL
Was a Modest But Daring sportsm man
Who Was Never Satisfied. With
Anything Less Than Breaking Of
Records-very Popular.

Borunemouth, England, July 12-
Hon. G. s. Rolls, son of Lord Liam
gattock, hero of the recent channel
fight from Dover to France and re-
turn, was killed this morning by a
fall while flying with his Wright BIZ
plane. The machine suddenly buckled
up while forty feet from the ground,
was overturned and the young avi-
ator was dashed to the earth.
Capt. Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls
was 33 years old and was one Of the
most popular young all-around
sportsmen in England. His death will
be great blow to the aristocrat
sporting enthusiasts, with all of whom
he was great personal favorite. At
ballooning, at motoring and later in
the field of aviation he had distin-
guisned himself by his utter fearless
ness and was satisfied with nothing
short of record breaking in whatever
line of sport he took to.
Undoubtedly his crowning feat was
his round trip across the channel
between Dover and Calias In Wright
biplane on June 2, last Two French
men, Louis Bleriot and Count De Les
seps, already has crossed the cham
mel, and Huber Latham had almost
succeeded. Channel flying was at a
discount in England, because 1t was
considered an old story and also be-
cause the national pride suffered
from the monopoly of it by French
men, when Rolls electrified the en-
tire kingdom by doubling the accom-
plishments of his predecessors. The
distance between Dover and Calais is
twenty-one miles. When Rolls did
the round trip of forty-two miles in
ninety minutes Without stopping his
performance was marvellous, both for
distance and time. Rolls was as
modest as. he was daring and received
the congratulations which we're show
cred upon him after his great feat
with embarrassment,

COWBOYS PULL

Unique Trip From New York
to San Diego Is Being
Made

+ Philadelphia, July 12.-Drageing
Captain Vivian Edwards, founder of

that vicinity in the early '7os, four
cow-punchers from the ranches in
southern California passed through
this city today " complete their
hike" of four thousand miles from
New York to San Diego as the result
of a friendly jibe.
In September last Captain Edwards
made the trip from San Diego, Cal.
to New York to demonstrate the en-
durance Of the .angora goat. Drawn
by four husky little animals, he fol-
lowed the rough trails of the noun
tains, the Mohave desert and the
prairies in a tiny pony cart. Starting
on the first of April, it was five
months and twenty-one days later
that he drove up Broadway, New
York, amid throng of cheering peo-
pie.
Edwards is a cripple, both legs
having been useless since he was
three years Of age, yet, it is asserted,
that he can ride a broncho as we'll as
any man on the plains.
The goats which made the trip east
are being hauled in one wagon, while
the men walk with the exception of
the captain, who rides in his little
pony cart. When the mountains are
reached in New Mexico the wagon in
which the goats are carried will be
sold, the camp kit packed on addition

TO KILL INITIATIVE
A Ray Of Hope for Liquor Men in Re
districting Suit.

Jefferson City, July 12-The su-
preme court issued mn alternative
writ in mandamus this morning re-
turnable July 19 in the Halliburton
proceeding to compel the secretary
of state to file the Republican state
committees senatorial redistricting
petition. On that date the return
must be made by the attorney general
merits later. There was belief
among Republicans that the supreme
court would refuse to entertain jur-
isdiction but this is upset by the
courts action this morning.
1t will now be useless for the Re-
publicans to bring mandamus in
the Cole county circuit court before
Judge Martin as the supreme court
would stop him with writ of prohi-
bition. Democrats hope for speedy
decision from the supreme court as
they desire to rob the Republicans Of
any campaign thunder which might
accrue from any delay in reaching q
final adjudication. Roach says he
will not avail himself Of any techni-
cal delays in order to insure speedy
determination of the case.
1t is now believed that the supreme
court will reach a decision before 1t
adjourns for the summer.
