UNITED MINE WORKERS OPEN CHARACTERISTIC SESSION,
 BUT PROMISE ORDER.
President Lewis Takes Stand for Movement Against Diseraceful Scenes Enacted in For
 mer Conventions.

Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 1S.-"There will be no repetition of the disgrace. fui scenes of the miners convention of last year If can get the co-opera. ton of the convention" decared Pres. ident Thomas L.. Lewis, of the United Mine Workers of America at the close of todag's session of the organization.
 He ruled out of order Frank J. Hayes of Illinois and William Green of Ohio, leaders of the faction oppos. ed to the Lewis administration, who were objecting to the national organ. izers being seated as delegates if their salaries are paid during the con. vention
 President Lewis ruled that the con- yention was not yet organized. Hayes and Green insisted that if the report of the credentials committee. Just read. were adopted in so far as II seated delegates against whom no protest was entertained, ahe action would be final, but Lewis drowned thelr voices with his gayel and put down storm of objections from all over the hall. The controversy will arise in the convention again tolnor. row.
 Green was candidate against Lewis for the presidency, but it is conceded he has been beaten though the report of the committee of tellers of the balloting has not yet been completed. Hayes probably has been successful as a candidate for the vice presidency against the present incun. bent. E. s. Mccullough.
 Tn ordering Green and Hayes to take their seats, President Lewis said
 We are representing the men at home. We have only eleven days to transact their business. here if we are to meet the operators in joint con. ference at Toledo on February 1. Our wage contracts in the bituminous fields expire on April 1. It Is impor- tant that We conduct our business here expeditlously and as intelligent men,
 Hayes objected to being put in the light of an obstructionist by Lewis. A motion to adjourn brought the clash of the convention to close.
 For twenty-one years the business of the annual conventions of the na- tional organization of coal miners has proceeded in haze of tobacco smoke and for twent-one years certain re formers unsuccessfully have protest cd against smoking in the hall
 The usual motion to prohibit smok- ing was made this afternoon and the mover as usual was laughed down.
 T don't smoke myself" said Presi. dent Lewis, but I have no objection 10 others smoking" and his senti- ment was approved with cheers. The miners pipe, it is said. is as char ecteristic as his peculiarly crouched pose, his rolling gait, and his broad, muscular hands.
 An hour after the opening of the session pail of smoke hung over the delegates heads.
 The credentials committee is ex- nected to bring it's long report to an end tomorrow and then the necessary committees will be announced. the re. ports of the officers will be submit ted, and the convention will settle down 10 its routine.
 Governor Thomas R Marshall Of Indiana and Mayor Samuel Shank and other citizens of Indianapolis wei comed the fifteen hundred delegates in speeches this morning.

plete the air journey to Milan in a
single day. The attempt is regarded
by some as foolhardy, as the aviator
must rise about 1000 feet Immediately
on leaving the ground and maintain
that altitude for not less than half an
hour to clear Simplon pass. Descent
anywhere in the first 20 miles of the
rocky. precipitous gorges would mean
almost certain death
A meteorologist stationed on SimpIon
during the last month reports that the
peaks OF the mountains are snow clad
and the air currents strong and gusty.
In that time there have been only two
days in which the pass could be crossed

he recently made a height record of
1892 feet. at Issy. He regards the ex-
treme cold of the mountain passes as
the greatest difficulty which he will
have TO surmount. Other starters will
be Cattaneo. Paillette.. Wincziers and
Weymann. With the exception of Wey-
mann, all the aviatoFs will use mono
planes. Latham has withdrawn, ex-
planning that his motor is incapable
of reaching the necessary height.
The route follows the road built by
Napoleon in 1900. over the Simplon
pass, which is 6,52S feet high at the
summit. The country is broken and
very difficult. There are many chasms

GREAT HEADWAY MADE
AMONG THE AVIATORS
Marvellous Flights Have Dulled
the Edge of Wonder

Already familiarity with the marvel
of fight in machines heavier than air
is dulling the edge of wonder The
world has accepted the fact that men
can mount high and journey far, sus-
tanned by device or force whicn
gines stopped.
But the men who risk their lives In
proving this degree of conquest of the
air are thrilled by their own progress,
For them there is no slackening OF IN
terest. Their conauests spur them on
continually to new feats. Their field
of daring and of triumph widens daily
1t is not merely the writing of new
records. They care less for mile high
flights and mile a minute speed, and
the covering of more than ESQ miles
without touching the earth or stop
ping the engines of an aeroplane. than
they do for discoveries affecting the
problems still unsolved.
For example, it is intensely interest
ing to find that actual experience is
verifying the predictions of scientific
authorities that the planes or wings
of flying machines would have to be
reduced in size, relatively to the power
of the engines used and the speed at
tanned.
This is found TO be so markedly true
that as the motors become more power
full the extent of the planes, In new
flying machines is lessened until the
limit appears to have been, reached
where further narrowing of their sur
face will make them inadequate to sus-
tain the machines at all, at low speed
Yet still smaller planes might be more
advanta geous than any now In use,
after they gained sufficient Roadway.
These facts point to the need of some
method of reefng the planes or wings
OF aeroplanes while they are. In full
flight What appears to be wanted Is
q device which would make it possible
to use large surfaces, at low and mod
crate speed, and then lessen the area OF
the planes as the flying machines gath
cred Roadway.
Another notable advance is scored in
carrying three passengers in an aero
plane. That means four men. altogether
and a total weight. including the gaso-
line used and other necessary supplies
of not less than 500 or 700 pounds. 1t
indicates the possibility of carrying
fuel enough for very long voyages, 1t
looks favorable to duplicate engines
with two expert aviators to take turns
in running them in record breaking
duration flights.
Steadily the aeroplane is coming
nearer the field of every day travel
and regular use. 1t still has far to go
in that direction, but is making swift
progress in the entirely new field which
it is conquering for its own.-The New

COMBINATION WATCHES
NEEDED IN TURKEY
Two Systems of Time in Vogue
Create Demand

Consul Milo A. Jewett of Trebizond
repeats the announcement that there is
a demand in Turkey for watches that
indicate both Turkish and Franc"
time. He writes:
For some years there probably VIII

them to sunset time.

The building of railroads. which must

long period of transition from the old

There are three systems of double
time watches. One has two dials, one
on each side of the watch; another,
which seems more popular and is more
easily repaired. has two small dials
side by side on the same face. The
third system, which seems to be the
best has central fixed dial for regular

stem set with mechanism which per-
nlits changing the hands of the watch

The latter consists of two coneentric

BISMARCK GAVE CIGAR
TO WOUNDED SOLDIER
Mans Face Immediately Lighted
by Grateful Smile

The most eminent lover OF the Vir-
ginia weed in the last century was
perhaps Bismarck, who. nevertheless.
once derived from an unused cigar a
pleasure greater than any lighted cigar
ever yielded TO him. During the battle
of Sedan he boarded his last cigar. he
says, 'as miser boards his treasures.
He was painting to himself in glowing
colors the delightful hour when, after
the battle. he could smoke it in peace.
when he saw poor wounded dragon
with both arms smashed. who whim-
pered for relief. Lighting the cigar, he
stuck it between the soldiers teeth.
You ought to have seen that poor fell
lows grateful smile. No cigar ever
tasted so good to me as this one which
did not smoke"

Viscouness de ST Hdnc pho Miss Edith de Luz, of Lynn Mass

the trades unionists themselves be quite
unanimous in advocating such a pro-
posal.
NO PAY FOR MEMBERS
The ministry purposes to meet the
difficulty, as is known, by passing a
measure for the payment OF members.
1t is strange that such a measure
should have remained so long delayed,
seeing that there are now so few coun-
tries that do not give a salary TO their
parliamentary representatives
This gratuitous service in parliament
has often inflicted severe strain on men
Of small means I could tell many
stories Of agic squalor through which
have known even prominent members
ing TO this absence of any state sup
port. 1 have known cases where
member of the house of commons has
been without the price of his dinner.
One member. recently, we'll known
and successful in his profession, told
me how, when he was a young man and
member OF the house, he had to walk
home at o'clock in the morning to his
lodgings in a distant suburb, distance
of five or six miles. because he had
not the price OF his fare.
INCLUDED IN PLATFORM
However. the payment of members
though, nominally it is one of the
planks of the liberal party platform.
1t would have carried quite easily in
the last house of commons were it not
that a new difficulty arose and from
an unexpected quarter.
Keir Hardie, one of the most power
full members of the labor party, eX-
pressed himself against 1T. largely be-
cause he. belongs 10 the socialist group,
which desires to draw all labor MEM
beTs into its ranks and to use funds
supplied by trades unionists as a
means of getting the adhesion of all
labor members.
No chancellor of the exchequer, with
all other demands made upon him,
could think of forcing the great sum
needed for payment Of members of
parliament on an unwilling party. And
so the question was once more dropped.
The Irish national party has not
taken up any official position yet on
the question, but I think that the ma
jority of leaders, at least, are not favor
able to the plan. They know that they
can depend upon their own people at
home and abroad to supply them with
funds for maintaining their party in
the house of commons, especially as
that party is maintained at a figure
that must appear small to anybody
who knows the present cost of living
in London.
The amount that the Irish members
receive each session from the Irish
party fund is $3.50, not magnificent
sum, truly. However, ] do not think
that the Irish members feel called upon
to oppose q, program which was con-
sidered by the progressive forces in
England necessary for the progressive
cause

Korea for 10 years. The Seiyukai,
Japan's leading political party, will at

CHINA ON VERGE OF
A REFORM UPRISING
Wisconsin Professor Tells of
Probable Revolution

VICTORIA, B. c.. Sept. lie. A.
Ross. professor of sociology at the
University of wisconsin. who has been
making extended journeys through
China during the last six months study
ing sociological conditions, arrived by
the steamer Empress of China today.
He said that China was on the verge
of a crisis and the next four months
would show whether there would be a
great uprising, perhaps with much
bloodshed, or a peaceable revolution.
Professor Ross said that there was
a strong movement for reform. and the
reformers considered the attitude of
Peking:more or less a sham TO impress
the powers. There is disposition to
look on the Manchu officials as OBJ
stacles in the way of reforms.
1t is probable that Yuan Shin Kai
will return to Picking. and this would
be the means of preventing a rising If
the reformers are satisfied that in his
hands China would go forward. Cur
rency reform will be a great boon. and
the doing away with the growing of
opium, a movement which is being car
ried out energetically. will also. greatly
aid China.

TAXICAB ORDINANCE
is BOOST IN AUSTRIA
Conditions in Vienna Favorable
for Their Introduction

Commercial Agent Henry Studnicz-
ka, writing from Vienna under date of
July %, states that the passage of an
ordinance by the municipal council.
compelling the use of taximeters on all
two horse cabs may have a decided in
fiuence on the market for automobiles
in that city. He says:
1.-THE cabmen opposed the ordinance
on the ground that the use of taxi
meters would prove ruinous to their
business, inasmueh as they would be
unable to maintain high grade vehicle
and fine horses under the charges pro-
vided in the measure. AS the popu-
larity of these cabs has been largely
responsible for the slow introduction
of the public automobiles in Vienna, it
is believed that the ordinance will tend
to increase the use of the latter.
I'm fact, if the predictions of the
cabmen and others we'll posted that
have appeared in the public press dur
ing the last two weeks are well found :
ed, the Introduction of the taximeter
is a death blow to the two horse cab in
Vienna. The situation seems worthy of
careful consideration by American au-
tomobile manufacturers

BERLIN, Sept. 1.-THE American
embassy is being harassed daily with
inquiries regarding the spread of
cholera. These inquiries are made by
Americans who had intended to spend
the winter season at the kaiser's CAPT
tai The answer to all such questions
is that there is no cholera in Berlin.
But the general anxiety has been
considerably increased by four deaths
from Asiatic cholera this week in
Marienburg. where more than 100 per-
sons are now confined pending bacteri-
illogical examination
Cases have also occurred near Ham
burg and near the Russian frontier.
There is no doubt that the disease
has got some hold in many parts of
eastern Prussia but there is no danger
in Berlin, where the sanitary regula-
lions are being rigidly enforced.
The kaiser is going on shooting

recently there we're two cholera deaths.
