Human Buzzards.
Milwaukee News,


Of all varieties of human greed that
which fattens off the sorrows of its
fellow men is the most detestible. And,
if the charges made before the City
club of Chicago be true there are some
undertakers and officials of benevolent
associations in that city who should be
hunted from decent society and branded
as ghouls.
1t is declared that it is a common
practice for undertakers to take ad-
vantage of the grief of bereaved per-
sons and the fact that their sorrow has
temporarily obliterated their judgment
to foist upon them extrayagant funeral
expenses, burdening them, in many in
stances with debts which require
months or perhaps years of toll to dis
charge. The benevolent society officers,
it is claimed, assist the undertakers by
informing them of small amounts Of in
surance carried by the decedents, and
this information is used in running up
the bills. One instance is related in
which the deceased person carried an
insurance of 5000 and the undertaken
managed to run up a funeral bill of
over $500.
Were these eXtortions practiced en-
well-to persons they would be suffi-
GENTLY shameful. But when the most
sacred emotions of humanity are used

SUMMER HOME
5000 Children Will Wave Presi-
dent Adieu from Beverly
This Morning

BEVERLY, Mass, Oct. 16.-Presi-
dent Taft's summer vacation officially
ended today. He will start back to
Washington tomorrow morning by way
of New York.
Three thousand Beverly children will
wave goodby as the presidents auto

Mr.. Taft has thoroughly enjoyed his
vacation. He has taken on some
weight during the last month, but does
not seem to mind it. The presidents g
recreation has consisted principally of
golf and motoring.
Mr. Taft attended services today in
the Unitarian church. Called upon to
address the congregation, he said:
ION behalf of Mrs. Taft and myself
I am glad to express the gratitude
we feel at having had the privilege of
worshiping with you this summer in
a church so full of history, of such
a wealth of usefulness in the last $50
years. Tt is a church that illustrates
in its history the growth of liberalism
in religion and the development of the
orthodox tenets of those who came
here to make the beginnings of New
England into our faith of Unitarian
ISM"
The expected definite announcement
as to the location of the presidents
home next summer was not made to-
day All the chances, however, favor
Beverly, and it is believed that with
in a few days a lease will be signed
for a cottage within easy walking dis
tance of the present summer White

more. The couple left this afternoon
for Pomona, where they will reside.

EUROPE BOUND CONTINUES HIS FLIGHT
OF FRANCE
APPLAUDS BRAND
Bomb ExpIOdeS in Street Next
Door to Home of Sarah
Bernhardt

PARIS, Oct. 17.-Almost the entire
French press eXtols Premier BRAND as
an iron-handed leader, who has saved
France from great economic and So
cial crisis by the sternest measures
that could be undertaken by the re-
public. At the same time, it praises
the premier for his sense of justice in
trying to better the conditions of the
rank and file among the strikers.
The revolutionary Guerre Sociale,
the editor of which, Gustave Herve,
is now in prison for melting anti-mil-
itarism, answers the governments ac-
ton by exposing a scheme for the
widespread destruction of property.
1t prints a cartoon depicting strikers
shooting down BRAND, and adds that
the militant revolutionists and not the
strikers are responsible for the cam
paign of violence, which will continue
pitilessly until the workmen's demands
are granted.
A bomb exploded yesterday in a
street in the Ternes quarter, injuring
a street cleaner. The rolice raided an
anarchist joint and arrested a dozen
men.
The strikers yesterday asked Pre-
mier BRAND to authorize the holding
of a big manifestation today. The
premier declined, saying the manifes-
tation was organized in defiance Of
the government. The strictest meas
ures have been taken to prevent any
attempt to hold this demonstration.
POLICE CoNFIsCATE BOMBS
The police yesterday raided the anar--
chist newspaper, Libertaire, and found
three bombs similar to that which ex-
ploded a few night ago in the Rue de
Berri, in the possession of printer.
Several arrests were made.
An exceptionally deadly bomb was
found in Vincennes this afternoon and
conveyed to a laboratory. There was
a terrific explosion of bomb at 1870
this morning (Monday) outside the resi-
dence of Director Massard of the Ma
tionalist newspaper Patrie, in the
Boulevard Periere, next door to the
home of Sarah Bernhardt, the actress.
There was considerable material dam
age, but no casualties resulted.
Securely fixed to NJ Massard's door
was a paper with the legend: First
warning from the strikers"

SIASCONSETT, Mass, Oct. 16.-,
Somewhere east of Nantucket island,
off the coast of Massachusetts,, and
approximately 300 miles from Atlantic
City, the starting point, Walter Well
mans airship, the America, signaled
q wireless "alls well'' and a goodby
at 12:45 o'clock this afternoon.
At o'clock this morning the Mar
conf operator here first came into
touch with the dirigible. Then, al
though the wireless range of the craft
is comparatively short, owing to linn
tied power and antennae, the station
was surprised to hear it call IN. s. c."
clear and strong, followed by CIV"
the code signature of the atrShip-
Judging from the strength of the
signal, it was assumed the America
was in close proximity to Nantucket
and all the lighthouses and life saving
stations on the island were notified to
keep a sharp lookout But the fog
which has enshrouded the vessel since
her departure, shut of the view
The wireless here, however, began a
rapid fire of questions and learned
from Jack Irwin, the Americas oper-
ator that the ships motors had been
stopped and that the aircraft was
heading east-northeast and making
twenty-five knots an hour with the
wind.
Intermittently the operators here ex-
changed greetings with their late as
sociate, the man who received at this
station the dramatic &C. Q. D." from
the Inflated steamer Republic.
PASSENGERS HEAR BREAKERS
At 1O:3O a. m. signals from the dirig-
ible became suddenly stronger and it
was momentarily expected that the
America would come in sight of the
station Irwin, in fact, flashed that
he thought he could hear the sound
of the breakers. The fog. however,
shut the craft from view, although she
was probably passing over the shoals
surrounding the island.
From that time on the signals from
the airship grew steadily weaker. until
finally at 12:45 p. m. message was
flashed from here asking if every
thing aboard was o: K. Family came
the reply, 'yes," and then fainter still,
the two letters, &c. b." meaning good

Through inability to take observa-
tions through the fog, the America s
exact position remained unknown
throughout the day. Her course, now
ever, has been along the steamship
lines, and as no word to the contrary
has been received, the assumption is
that Wellman, with fifty days fuel
and thirty days provisions aboard, is
adhering to his plan of crossing the
Atlantic and landing on the British
isles.
A dozen liners fitted with wireless
were in the Americas zone tonight.
When last heard from during the
day. at 12:45 p. M, the America had
been in the air just eighteen minutes
less that twenty-nine hours, and had
covered approximately 300 miles, and
must have averaged in forward prog
ress between ten and eleven miles an
hour. At this rate the craft would not
pass Sable island, 450 miles out from
Nantucket, until o'clock Tuesday
morning, and would reach Cape Race,
$50 miles farther, at 7 o'clock Wednes-
day evening.
