LEGISLATIVE INQUIRY BEGINS
New York Solons Will Probe
Charges of Corruption.

NEW YORK, July S.-To prove the
truth of the charges of legislative cor
ruption, the outgrowth of the Aids trial
at Albany and the Hotchkiss insurance
investigation here, the members OF the
legislative special commission gathered
bere todav to organize select counsel and
map out a program for their investiga-
ton.
1t had been semi-officially announced
that NJ Linn Bruce, former lieutenant
governor and justice Of the supreme
court, was to be named as counsel for the
commission, and formal confirmation OF
this appointment was looked for, other
wise the action of the day was not IN
6icated. 1t is probable that the work of
the commission will continue the greater
part of the summer.
The commission consists of three sena-
tors and five assemblymen. An appro-
priation of $4,000 Is available for the
purposes of the inquiry.

BETHANY PLAIN, Rheims, July s.
Baroness de la Roche, the first French
woman aeroplanist, was fatally injured
here this afternoon by falling from a
height of fifty meters.
The Baroness de la Roche had flown
around the field once at a height of eighty
meters. when suddenly. in front of the
applauding tribunes, she appeared to be-
come frightened and confused at the ap-
proach Of two other aeroplanes. She
started to descend, but while still fifty
meters from the ground lost control OF
the machine. The aeroplane turned over
and fell like log.
The baroness legs and arms were
broken. Her mangled and bloody body
was removed from the wreckage and con-
veyed to a hospital, where she is dying.
AT the hospital it was found that her
skull was fractured.
baroness explained that the rush Of air
from motor passing over her head had
frightened here. whereupon she cut the
ignition and lost control of her machine.
This is the second fatal accident at this
meeting. wachter having been KILLED last
Friday
Her Performances Daring.
The performances of Baroness de la
Roche on Volson machine have been
much talked Of in Paris. This accident
which resulted In her fatal injuries
was not her first mishap. On January
last she was seriously injured at the
Chalons aviation field. In circling the
course with her biplane she made q
wide turn and crashed into q tree. be-
ing unable to elevate her machine
quickly enough to dodge it. She fell
from height of twenty feet and was
taken to the Military Hospital uncon-
scious. Her right shoulder was dis
located and internal injuries were fear
ed, but she recovered soop.
In February last the French Aero
Club gave Baroness de Ia Roche an air
pilots license for her feat in flying
four times around the aviation course
at Heliopolis. a distance Of twelve
miles.
The baroness was one Of the pioneers
OF aviation. She also had driven
motor boats in races and automobiles
at exhibitions and as soon as flying be-
came practical she learned how to man.
age the biplane. There are seven other
woman aviators in France.

COL. MOSBy OUT
Of GOVERNMENT lob
Old Age Supposed Cause of
Dismissal From Depart
ment of Justice.

Col John 6. Mosby. the famous Con-
federate guerrilla of civil war days.
has lost his position as a special attor-
ney in the Department of Justice. after
eight years there.
In the absence of Attorney General
Wickersham no explanation is made at
the department. Old age, that night
mare OF superannuated government en-
ployes, it is understood, was the main
reason for the dismissal.
Col. Mosby is. about seventy-three
years of age. To his old friends he
appears active and energetic. He has
been blind in one eye since he was a
young man, and lately has been getting
deaf.
Mosby Told No One.
Comparatively few know of his loss
of position, which dates from July l..
He has made no appeals to any one TO
aid him in being restored.
Whether such appeals will be made to
the Attorney General and the President Is
not known today. 1t is considered prob
able.
Attorney General Wickersham. the
most active head Of the department WITH
in it's history, on the hustle physically
and mentally at all times. has kept MS
department on the go for months he
has been reorganizing his forces SO as 10
get the best results from them.
Other changes have been made, 1t Is
said. but Col. Mosby's dismissal is the
most conspicuous that has taken place
His history as a fighting man.. MS
achievements with small band OF
guerrillas during the great war between
the states has given him place In his
tory that has marked him for distinction
for many years.
Appointed Under Roosevelt.
He was appointed a special attorney
of the department early in the first part
of the Roosevelt administration, and was
assigned to break up the cattlemen's op-
erations against government lands in the
middle west HIS fearlessness In this
work, in spite of numerous threats, won
him the appreciation of President Roose-
Welt.
He did other work of the same kind.
showing neither fear nor favor. In the
last few years he has been given little
work on account of his advancing age
although asking that he be assigned to
active duty.
Col. Mosby became a republican some
time after the civil war. believing that
to be the best method for securing con-
cessions to the south. He was a special
favorite of Gen. Grant, who kept him in
the best federal positions to be had and
consulted him often as to important gov
ernment matters.
1t is probable that Col Mosby will now
devote his time to writing a book Of the
civil war. in which he took such a con-
spicuous part.

Regulars Ready to Break In, When
Told Jackson Was Gone.
CLASH OVER BIG PRIZE FIGHT

Determined to avenge the prob
able fatal injury to one OF their
fellow soldiers, forty or 9tty
United States white troopers and
artillerymen from Fort Myer made
an attempt to storm the Alexan-
dria county Jail on Fort Myer
Heights last night to lynch Robert
Jackson, negro.
With coils of rope and army
revolvers they were perpared to
mete out summary justice to the
man whom they regarded as the
ringleader in the affray in which
their fellow-soldier suffered. A
clever bit of subterfuge-the iailer
inducing the soldiers to believe
that Jackson was not within the
prison-alone prevented them
from battering down the doors.
Col. Garrard, in command at
Fort Myer, already had ordered
an investigation into what he
termed IAN incident savoring too
strongly of the Brownsville at
fair" The whole trouble was an
outgrowth OF the racial clashes
following the Jeffries Johnson
prize fight
Crandal Mackey, commonwealth
attorney of Alexandria county, to-
day said that Col. Garrard has
promised to have a patrol OF
troops from the fort to guard the
Jail tonight, so that any further
attempt to wreak vengeance on
Jackson may be prevented.

Jailor Aroused From Bed.

Called from his bed at o'clock this
morning by a loud pounding on the graf
ed entrance to the jail on Fort Myer
Heights. Jailor Harry Crack saw band
of ffty soldiers masked in front of the
jail His appearance was greeted by a
chorus Of demands that the prisoner. Rob-
ert Jackson. be brought from his cell i'm
mediately and turned over to the SOL
diers for punishment.
The men were excited and angry. They
had heard during the night that Private
Scott of Battery d, Sd Artillery. was
dying.
Scott was siashed across the abdomen
with a razor during a fracas between a
crowd of negroes and a body of soldiers
on a suburban car between Falls Church
and Fort Myer. in Alexandria county,
the night of the Jeffries- Johnson prize
fight. The soldiers learned that Scott
had developed peritonitis. and that death
might be expected any hour.
1t was the circulation of this news at
Fort Myer which provoked a desire for
vengeance among the soldiers. Most oi
the self-constituted avengers were from
Battery u, augmented by troopers from
the 18th Cavalry, it is declared.
Some of them were in civilian clothes
when the mob was formed. Their iden-
tits soldiers from the fort was easily

When they appeared at the Jail they
carried two coils of rope. All were armed
with revolvers

The parley before the door of the jail
