The explosions all took place very
near my window-indeed. SO near that

Joe was setting them off for the ex-

The Price of News.

Few people realize what it costs to

are the prices paid by the industrious

strength are sacrificed, danger faced,

BROOKINS is HURT.
Aviator Sustains Broken Nose and
Other Injuries.

serious mishap to Walter Brookins, in
which the daring Wright aviator was
painfully hurt, marred the first day of
the aviation meet here. Brookins was
dashed to the earth when the machine
suddenly turned turtle, after he had
been forced to swerve the airship sud-
denly to avoid crashing into a crowd
of spectators. Seven other persons,
among whom the machine tum bled,
were more or less seriously injured.
The mishap was due to the throng-
ing of spectators out upon the field.
Brookins in descending had no room
to operate the machine and was driven
to make sudden turn to avoid
crashing among the watchers. The
tricky wind caught the machine and
sent it spinning over backwards.
Brookins' nose was broken and he was
badly bruised.

Roosevelt held a secret conference
last night with James r. Garfield of

regarded as two of the most ardent
of insurgents.
The two men whom Roosevelt num-

tested they could not talk about their
plans or the significance of their visit
to Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Pinchot said:
Colonel Roosevelt invited Mr.. Gar

When asked about his California
trip he said that he made speeches
there in behalf of Hiram Johnson, a
candidate for the Republican nomina-

Kent. a candidate for the Republican
nomination for congress from the
Sacramento district.
II delivered eight speeches, which
is four more than intended to make"
He said he was told that since his
departure from New York Colonel
Roosevelt had received many inquiries
from California as to whether the ex-
forester had gone there as his repre-
sentative to support Johnson and
Kent. He replied he had never had
any such idea. had given no such inn
preston and he had gone to California
entirely on his own responsibility.
How did I find the sentiment in
the west in regard to the Roosevelt
policies? Very enthusiastic, said the
ex-forester with emphasis.
What do they think of the Taft
amendment
What do you think of the wealth
er - was his reply. 1t was raining
hard just then.
Colonel Roosevelt also refused to
be interviewed on politics after his
guests had arrived.

FREIGHT MEN TO ASK RAISE.
New York Union Wants Seven Cents
an Hour Increase.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE freight
handlers employed by the various rail-
roads having terminals in New York
are considering the question of pre-
senting demands for an increase in
wages from Is to 26 cents an hour,
according to an announcement by the
union officers today. In case of a
strike they will be supported by the
members of the International Long
shoremen's association
The freight handlers union has about
1000 members in the city and the long

marshal about an equal number.
For the past two years the freight
handlers have been working ten hours

satisfactory. We hope to secure a peace

Roosevelt arrived unannounced in
Mineola this morning and took a spe-
cial train with Ralph Peters, president
of the Long Island railway, to some

that he intended to inspect a number
of Long Island farms to learn what
the farmers are doing. He made plans
for the trip some time ago, but kept
them secret. He wishes to get in per-

with the miners on his trip to Pennsyl-
vania last week. when he was able to
talk with them in many instances
without disclosing his identity.
