Not Given Ample Room for Start
ing and Landing.

Milwaukee.-Eight persons were
injured by an aeroplane accident at
the state fair grounds.
Caught in a gust of wind Arch HoX-
sey and his Wright aeroplane were
driven into the grandstand at the be-
ginning of the exhibition fight at 5
O'Clock. Nearly score of persons
were caught under the airship.

and bruised
J. w. Jackson, colored, 217 Wells
street, Milwaukee; left leg severely
cut.
Miss Fuller, Oshkosh, head bruised.
Mrs. Bowers and Mrs. King were
caught under the machine when it
fell. When dragged forth Mrs.
Bowers was bleeding severely from
wounds on her head. She was taken
to the home of relatives.
Mrs. King suffered from the nerv-
Gus shock. Her condition for a time
was thought serious, but she re-
covered later in the evening and was
| taken to her home.
Frank Lynch and his mother, who
! had come to Milwaukee to see the
| fair, were standing together. They
were caught in the rush of spectators,
| knocked down and trampled upon.
Mrs. Morrison was struck by the
car and hurled to the concrete floor
of the grandstand
The fall of the machine was entire
| ly unexpected HoXsey started from
the north end of the stand attempt
| ing to bear into the wind. The
breeze seemed light and he antici-
| pated no trouble.
Just as he reached the judges
stand the big, white-winged machine
dipped suddenly, bearing down into
the crowd. HoXsey shut off the power

ward. 1t swerved slightly, skipped
| the top of the fence, crashing into
the crowd of people on the south end.
They saw their danger, but in their
excitement and the compactness, were
unable to get away. The machine
| struck squarely, although buoyed up
somewhat by the wind. At least a
dozen persons were borne down under
the airship.
Hoxsey acted quickly, raising the
! front end All the men managed to
get out from under. When the crowd
had been cleared back, Mrs. Bowers
and Mrs Morrison were found lying,
one under the machine and the other
in the gutter alongside the fence.

RECIPROCITY TREATY
PRESIDENT SEEKS EARLY keGO'
TlATIONS WITH NORTH
ERN NEIGHBOR.
MAY NULLIFY PAYNE TARIFF
Administration viii Avoid Possible
Conflict With House by Submitting
Treaty for Joint Congressional
Resolution.

Beverly.-Formal steps looking to
the opening of negotiations for the
reciprocity treaty with Canada have
been taken by President Taft, who
has secured the consent of the Brit
ish ambassador, Mr.. Bryce in the
direct communication on the part of
the United States with the dominion
government.
Announcement was made here of
the presidents intention to open ne
gotations early in October. Impor-
tant developments may grow out of
the affair, having direct bearing
upon the general tariff of United
States, particularly if the treaty that
is finally negotiated should grant
TO Canadiap exports TO the United
States a lower rate of duty than is
provided for in the Payne-Aldrich
law.
This is one of The problems that
the president will be called upon to
deal with. Suppose that the reciproc-
tty treaty finally agreed upon makes
these concessions to Canada, the effect
of its ratification by the senate would
seemingly be to repeal the Payne
Aldrich law so far as it affects Can
ada.
There is general belier also that
the house as well as the senate is in
a mood now to ratify a reciprocity
treaty, even if it provided for lower
rates than the Payne ldriCh law,
There is a splendid opportunity at
hand, therefore, for the president to
make an object lesson of the Cana
dian negotiations and give point TO
his plan for a revision of the tariff
later on, schedule by schedule.
In New England and in all the
states that border on the Canadian
line there is an insstent demand for
reciprocal trade relations. In fact,
the successful negotiations Of such a
treaty would almost completely re-
move the objections to the Payne
AldriCh law in those sections of the
country. 1t is therefore in line with
his general tariff policy that the pres
ident now plans to go forward with
his reciprocity plans.

CROSSES THE RAPIDS
CAPT. LARSON PILOTS TINY
MOTOR CRAFT FROM FOOT
OF NIAGARA CATARACT.
ENGlNGE STOPS WORKING
After Adventurous Trip Boat Is Caught
in Shore Eddy and Is Grounded
and Was at Mercy of the Waters.
Escapes Death by Sheer Luck.

Niagara Falls.-Capt. Klaus Lar
sen, in his little motor boat, the
Ferro, made a successful trip from
the foot of the cataract through the
whirlpool rapids to within mile
OF lewiston a distance of four and
one-half miles. He started from the
Maid of the Mist dock at 4:45 and
ran on rock near the American
shore at $50.
Despite the battering Of the whirl-
pool rapids, Larsen went through
safely, but his boat was leaking badly
at the finish and through the trip.
Larsen held to the middle Of the
channel and in less than three min
utes had made the great pool. He
kept to the outer edge of the pool and
passed out and down without acct
dent. Just as he left the pool the
engine stopped working and Larsen
was at the mercy of waters hardly
less violent than those above.
After getting through the devils
hole the Ferro swung toward the
rocks on the American side of the
Ilel, IOlltu over one DOulubE anu
went fast between two others.
Getting free, Larsen was hit by a
comber and sent careening toward
the middle. At the bend. with the
Lewiston bridge in sight, the boat
drifted toward the American side
again and was then caught in the
shore eddy. The Ferro grounded
again, this time near enough to shore
to be caught by Roy Rockwell of this
city, who waded into the water and
caught a rope thrown by Larsen.
Peter Nissen of Chicago in 1900
and c. A. Percy in 1887 and 1901,
went through the rapids safely in
barrels. No one else ever passed
through the rapids and lived.

then, OF preparations for the future?
Patriotism is the basis OF our insti-
tutions. And patriotism in the minds
of our youth is no longer linked solely
with fireworks and deeds OF daring. 1t
Is taught in our schools. A new
cours, has been added-a course In
loyalty. Methodically, our children
learn how to vote, how to conduct
primaries, conventions and elections.
how to discriminate between qualitca-
tons Of candidates and, finally, how
to govern as well as serve. They are
taught to despise bribery and all
forms of corruption and fraud as
treason. Their creed, which they are
made TO know by heart, is not com
pick. II Is simple, but comprehen.
sive, no less beautiful in diction than
lofty in aspiration. These are the
pledges which are craven upon their
memories:
"As It is Cowardly for a soldier to
run away from battle, so 1t Is coward
