The whole Deitz family was

were taken to Hayward, the county
seat, for safe keeping. Mrs. Deitz
and the children were taken to the

broke down and weepingly asked the
reporters to say that she and tho
children did not fire a shot.

MAKES LONG FLIGHT
Altman Hoxsey Makes Now Record by
Sustained Flight of lO4 Miles

st. Louis, Oct. S-Arch Hoxsey, in
a Wright biplans. flew from Spring
field, Ill.,, to the Country Club
grounds at Clayton st. Louis coun-
can sustained flight record in an
aercplane by covering 1o4 miles, the
distance being estimated by Hox.ev
The landing place was supposed
to be the aviation field at Kinloeh
Park, but because Hoxssy failed to
find the grounds, he descended FIVE
miles away. He alighted on the avia-
air hours and % minutes. For ST
minutes Hoxsey tried vainly to find
the field and circied within three
miles of it five times. He mistook
the smoke of brick plant for the
tar fire and could not locate the field
After leaving Springfield at 1855
TINS morning he maintained an alti-
forced him 600 feet higher. He flew
on the 1000 foot level the remainder
of the distance.
A special train, which was to guide
him to st. Louis, was thirty minutes
late in leaving Springfield. He never
saw it. At Carlinville he left the
Chicago & Alton right of way and
Stanton, his briht place. He cir
cled the town twice and then head
ed toward the Mississippi river.
Reaching Alton he turned south
and crossed the river where the Mis-
souri, river empties.
Then began the search for the
aviation field. He was seen from
the field at 2:14 and as soon as
Walter Brookins could get an aero
plane started he went aloft to guide
his fellow bird man to the field, but
Hoxsey veered to the south and was
lost to view. Bombs were exploded
and the band PLAYED as loudly as
possible, but the aviator did not hear
the noises. He landed at the Coun-
try club at Sill. He went up again
and landed safely at the aviation
field. 1t had been planned to have
Brookins, Turpin and Walsh meet
him in the air and act as his escorts.
HoSsey's unexpected visit to the
old home caused sudden transfor-
nation in the spirits of the residents
there. All had been in sorrow since
last Tuesday. when thirty-six passen-
gers We're killed in the interurban
wreck.
The residents cheered him wildly
as he circled about over their heads.
The flight was the opening event of
the ten days meet, under the auspi-
ces OF the Aero Club of st. Louis.

BUCK STOVE coMPANY's ARGu
MENT HEARD.
American Federation Maintains Right
to Withhold Patronage
at Will.

Was .gton, D. G. - Probably the
greatest labor fight waged in years in
the supreme court of the United States
was opened when Daniel Davenport
and j. j. Darlington, as attorneys for
the Buck Stove and Range company
OF st. Louis, filed it's side of the ia.
nous controversy over the 1--WE don't
patronize list" of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor The case will come
up for argument before the court next
week. The brief was an outline of the
arguments to be presented orally at
that time. The brief for the American
Federation of Labor, which objected
to obey an injunction in the case, has
not been filed.
The supreme court of the District of
Columbia issued broad injunction
against the American Federation to
prevent it from boycctting the Buck
Stove and Range company, which was
charged with operating an open"
shop. The court of appeals of the dis
trict modified the decree of the lower
court. 1t was this modification that
formed the basis of the argument pre-
sented to the court today.
Argument Is Reasonable.
"The sole argument for the right to
boycott rests on the proposition, says
the brief, adopted as true in the
opinion of Chief Justice Shepard, that
what one man may lawfully do any
number of men may lawfully agree or
combine to do. But the right of an
Individual to withhold his custom from
persons who deal with "a is as un.
questionable as his right to withhold
his custom from "a himself. Within
reasonable limits any person may ex.
press Misrepresentation of an actor in a
theatre, but a combination of persons
to hiss him and to have others to do
it would be unlawful.
1--WE submit" adds the brief, that
tender consideration for the possible,
contingent future right for wrong
doer should not be carried SO far as to
withdraw present protection from the
injured party against the wrong actu-
ally being inflicted upon him.
The history of the case was summed
up by the two attorneys as showing
an "undisguised and unanimous COM
mon effort to coerce the complainant
into submission to their demands by
attacking and seeking TO destroy it's
business and to accomplish it's finan.
cial ruin as the penalty of refusing to
submit to their dictation."

STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES.
Reductions Made In Europe and tbs
Far East in Campaign to Increase
Use Of Kerosene.

New York. j. /. Clark, by
whom the standard Oil COMPANY
makes it's official announcements to
the public, has issued a statement ia
the effect that the company has en-.
tered on thoroughly mapped ont
campaign to increase the CONSUMPTION
OF kerosene in European countries and
the LANDS of the Orient. The first
move in this campaign is the reduc
ton of the prices Of oil in those coun
tries. Mr.. Clarke's announcement
says in part:
The Standard Oil Company has in
augarated . campaign to increase thu
worlds consumption OF refined oil
The level of prices for refined oil to
day in the United States is lower thar
ut any time during recent years, and
as direct result Of these prices the
consumption OF refined oil in thi,
county is increasing. The same poli
cy Is now being actively pursued
abroad
AS indicated by this statement. the
Standard Company began trying on,
the policy Of lower prices In the
United States, though without an
nouncing that it had in view cam
paign that would cover the world. In
August the price Of refined oil In
tanks was reduced from OK to 5A
cents a gallon. and the price of re
fined oil in barrels at the refinery was
cut cent. from Ok to sN cents 8
gallon.

BOYCOTT CASE COMES 1IWHY new ORLEANS
MoRLp,s PANAMA EXPOSITION.
\ geographical Position and Many
thsr considerations Mark It az
,Io.t suitable Spot for Deo'-
c,+;nn of Great Work.

Mt sentiment has decided that
the npletion of the Panama .,, Yans
In u shall be celebrated WIZ 10
great International Exposition IN
whichn the nations OF the wo' ~
may pticipate; and the questlon y,
where us Exposition is to De nelo
will be Ntled BY Congress AZ us ap
proachinsession.
New &eans and San franclsco
are conteIns for the honor OF nolu
ing this Snosition, and both cities
have guarNeed immense sums OF
money as Aevidence of their ability
to finance s.xreat an enterprise.
An Exposi,n worthy of the term
"Worlds Fair such as New Orleans
proposes to bid will be great ed
vocational moysent. Its success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percelage of our popula-
ton who can selre its educational
advantages, this lturn, depends up
on its location, as he time in travel
ing to and from tn Exposition. and
the cost in railros and Pullman
fares, are the most IL portant factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to beg the 'Iog-
cal Point" for this Parma Exposi
tion, seem tc be fully \nhstantiated
by the following facts:@
New Orleans is 500 miNs from the
center of population in he United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant theref.om.
Within radius of 500 niles from
New Orleans there are 1S,5o0,o00
people. Within the same radAs from
San Francisco there are only 100000.
Within radius of 1000 mile, from
New Orleans. there are 65,0t0,O00.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with combined
population of 100000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities, with a com
bined population of just 100000
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over rs per cent. Of the people O.
the United States could go to ar
Exposition there at an average ex
peuse for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone
for trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public cues
ton to be settled by Congress at thu
session which convenes in December
Many of our readers will wish Il
visit this Worlds Panama Exposi
ton, and if held in New Orleans +;
great many more could spare til,
time and money for the trip thai
could GO to San Francisco. There
fore, we urge our readers to write t.

THE RED MILL
 THURSDAY NIGHT
Blossom and iIerhcrt'S Amusing Com- ic Opera to Be Attraction at ElkS
 Theatcr This Week.

Blossom and Herbert's popular comic opera, ''The Red Mill, is to he the attraction at the Elks theater on Thursday night, and notwithstanding the production has been offered here on one occasion in the past it will doubtless be enojyed hy another large audience
 The comic opera is one of the most successful ever produced in the big cities and it's popularity seems to continue
 The scenery, showing two acts. laid in Holland, is both picturesque and quaint, while the costumes are varied, brilliant and in keeping with the tra- ditions of the little antique kingdom. The sensational thrill which ends the first act, where the two Americans reach an imprisoned girl in the cupo- la of the windmill, being borune aloft on the blades or fan, jumping to the roof as they revolve, is one long to be remembered.
 In this manner they reach the room secure the girl, swing out on the roof and grasp the revolving blades as they swiftly turn and reach%he ground and escape. This is one of the most daring achievements ever seen, and one that requires two athletic actors to accomplish.
 The cast includes Bert o. Swor as Con kidder: Franker Woods as Kid Connor Otto Koerner, Alvin Laugh lin, Percy Brooks, Carl Hartberg, g. w. Stott, Harry R. McClain, Cecil Summers and the Misses Agnes Major, Vernice Martyr, Mabel de Nordendorf, Helen Tilden, Georgia Harvey and a chorus of fifty, including the six lit tie Dutch Riddles, also an augmented orchestra.
