Hamilton's Way Lit Up by
Searchlights at Nash

NASHVILLE, tennis pc cial.-
Charles h. Hamilton performed an un-
usual feat ia his biplane Wednesday
at the military tournament, in making
two sensational flights with the aid OF
a searchlight as a pathfinder in the
darkness.
The daring flying OF the aviator ex-
cited the wonder and admiration Of
10000 people, and his perilous descent
from the second flight alarmed all pres
ent. In midair a cylinder OF his ma
chine blew out, and he was forced to
land at once. The descent was made
in a marsh between the racetrack and
the fence on the back stretch, but was
made without harm to man or machine.
Today Hamilton in his aeroplane will

WOMAN TRIES TO

Mysterious American Woman Makes
Effort to End Her Life at

COMO, ITALY.-Special.- me
die; let me die was the plea made
by mysterious American woman to-
day when she was questioned by the
police as to why she attempted to COM
nit suicide in the local cemetery yes
terday.
Police, with the one idea of solving
the mysterious murder of Mary Scott
Castle Charlton, whose body was found
in trunk in Lake Como, seize every
opportunity of hunting for a clew to
that tragedy. For that reason they
attempted TO gain some light on the
movements Of their charge. This
morning she was delirious and all they
could CLEAN was that her name was
Mary Raizerbergel.
Her continued plea that the police
cable to "Leinburgen, Eighyt-frst
Street, New York" gave them no
more help, as she could not furnish
the number. Though at first they be-
lieved the woman had been intoxicated
and for that reason the two shots
which she fired at herself had missed.
they today reached the conclusion that
the woman had been drugged.
Couldn't Find Leinburgen.
NEW YORK.-SpeciaI.- city di-
rectory does not give the name OF
Leinburgen as anyone living in Eigh-
ty-first Street.

THE BRITISH PARLIANIENTAR
ELECTIONS.

The British parliamentary elections
which ended on Saturday. resulted in
no material change from the situation
In the last House Of Commons. Both
parties-Liberals and Conservatives
can claim a success upon the question
relative to the House of Lords. Each
can claim an endorsement Of it's posi-
ton.
But Of the two parties. the Conser-
natives hold the stronger position, for
the reason that they are united. while
the Liberals can do nothing without
the aid of the Irish Nationalist.
Three points may be considered as
established. viz. that the Lords will
retain their veto power. that they will
not grant home rule in any material
degree to Ireland. and that the free
trade policy will not be abandoned.
King George holds the power to
change these conditions. by creating a
sufficient number of new peers to over
come the Conservative majority in the
House Of Lords. but he is not inclined
to do so. In fact his sympathies seem
to be with the Conservatives.
Der Of reforms which. by reason Of the
Lords veto power. must all ego by
the board. unless compromise can
be arranged. under which some of these
measures can be carried through both
houses with Conservative aid.
There Is little. If any. doubt that but
for the obstinate opposition OF the Con-
servatives some measure or Irish
home rule could be secured. The
English people would probably approve
such action. In fact, the election Of
a majority In the Commons by the
combined Liberals and Irish NATIONAL
lists so proves. But. as always here
tofore. the Lords block the way and
It Is not exceedingly probable that any
LIBERAL Conservative compromise will
include Irish home rule.
It Is to be gravely regretted that
the recent elections did not clear up
this long-standing issue. Ireland Is
fairly entitled to at least some degree
of home rule.
