Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, July S.-More cloak and
skirt makers went on strike today in
addition to the $4,000 who walked out
yesterday, making the total now on
strike 75,S61, according to the union es-
innate. If these figures are correct, it
is the biggest strike in the industrial
history of New York city.
Not all who quit today are affiliated
with the union, but their voluntary ac-
tion in renouncing steady employment
out of sympathy for their fellows is
a great encouragement to union lead
ers. Five thousand Joined the union
today.
A tax of 81 has been imposed on ev-
cry male member of the union in the
United States and one of 80 cents on
each woman. officers say the levies

ers more generally than even the, union
leaders had expected. The exact num-
ber of strikers Is not yet definitely
known, but the estimate of $4,000 Is be-
lieved to be correct. About 1900 shops
are affected.
Hope for a speedy settlement Is given
by the attitude of the employing man
ufacturers. After the strike was called
Yesterday afternoon the employers
formed an organization to be known as
the Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufactur-
ers' association. 1t was stated the or
ganzation was not formed for the pur-
pose of fighting the strike, and that the
manufacturers preferred an amicable
settlement If it was possible. A state
ment given out in behalf of the asso-
ciation said:
Prom first to last since the strike
talk began no conferences were pro-
posed to the manufacturers by the
cloak makers or their leaders and they
were never officially notified of any
demands. The association decided to
call a meeting for o'clock Friday af-
ternoon, where harmony committee
will be appointed to ask for arbitra-
ton to end the strike"
Cloak makers continued to quit work
up to 6 o'clock yesterday and many of
the largest factories were left without
a single employe.

j. S. CONSIDERING
SALE Of ISLANDS
Count Won MoIke Reopens Nego-
tiations for Purchase of
, Danish West Indies
Especial to The Herald

WASHINGTON, July S.-Negotia-
tions have been opened here for the
purchase of the Danish West Indies by
the United States. Count Won Molke,
acting under the instructions of the
Danish government, is trying to sell
the trio of islands, and 1t appears that
the United States is the most likely
purchaser.
Nine years ago the United States
would have acquired the islands If
Great Britain and France had not in
teryened. But diplomatic relations
made the purchase impracticable and
the project was abandoned.
Count Won Molke, however, has re-
newed the efforts of the Danish govern
ment to get rid OF the islands, which.
for administrative reasons, Denmark is
unable to hold. He is making care
full study in diplomatic Washington as
to how the powers will take the sale
of the islands to this country. Whether
the old objection remains or has been
obliterated by the more complete un-
derstanding that has existed between
the powers involved during the past
few years remains to be seen.
The Danish West Indies comprise the
islands of st. Thomas, st. John and
Santa Cruz From the standpoint OF
the department of the navy they are
regarded as a prospective asset of great
value. Commercially, their value to the
United States has never been disputed,
as their harbors meet all shipping re-
uuirements.

100 LIVES LOST
IN BARGE PANIC

ette on Powder Keg in
Race at Canton

VICTORIA, B. c., July 8.-The Blue
Funnel steamer Bellerophon, which ar
rived today from Liverpool via Orien-
tai ports, brought news from Canton
of the loss of 100 lives during the drag
on festival there last month.
AS a winning dragon boat was rae
ing a Japanese barge, crowded with
spectators, one of the boat crew threw
cigarette, which fell on powder
keg, which exploded it. A panic re-
suited, 100 persops being drowned.
News was brought by the Bellero-
phon of the seizure of big shipment
of opium on the Weir steamer Kumer-
lea at Manila, followed by the arrest of
the Chinese compradore, caught While
selling ten tins Of opium to a Filipino.
A fierce fight between European and
Chinese members of the crew of the
steamer occurred at Manila. The Chi
nese chased the Europeans into the
forecastle with knives and hatchets
when the captain arrived with revol-
yer and threatened to shoot. Several
of the Europeans were severely wound
ed before the mutiny was put down.
The Bellerophon brought $50 Chinese
steerage passengers, of which 145 paid
$72, 800 in head tax.

sugar mixers employed at the plant of
the American Sugar Refining COM

output of the big refinery is in de-
mand.

the building when those coming off
duty told them that a workman had
been discharged for no reason and that
two others who tried to intercede were
also given their discharge. The night
men turned back and meeting was
held. other employees at the meeting
said they would go on strike today If

with Civil Action

CHICAGO, July S.-Miss Nellie An

Louis of that name, whose opera gowns
We're attached by DIR. Robert Good, a
dentist. during the grand opera season
here last year filed suit for $1,000 dam
ages against the dentist here today;
DR.. Good for dental work charged
Miss Anheuser $500, or at the rate of
$25 an hour. She refused to pay, al
leging the work was faulty and had
to be done over by another dentist.
The doctor attached Miss Anheuser's
gowns and the latter missed a per-
formance of the opera.
Yesterday the dentists case came UP
in the municipal court, Miss Anheuser
having come from ST. Louis to defend
the suit. Counsel for the dentist took
a non-suit after failing to gain delay,
but promptly filed another one similar
to the first.
The suit for damages today is an
outgrowth of the Doctors alleged har-
assing of the actress.

BETHANY PLAINS, Rheims, July 8.
Baroness de la Roche, the first
French woman aeroplanist, was fatally
injured here this afternoon by falling
from a height of. fifty meters.
The baroness had flown around the
field once at height of eighty meters,
when suddenly, in front Of the APP
plauding tribunes she appeared to be-
come frightened and confused at the
approach of two other aeroplanes.
She started to descend, but while
still fifty meters from the ground, lost
control of the machine. The aeroplane
turned over and fell like a log.
The baroness legs and arms were
broken. Her mangled body was re-
moved from the wreckage and con-
veyed to the hospital, where she is
dying. At the hospital it was found
her skull is fractured.
SECOND FATALITY
This is the second fatal accident at
this meeting, Wachter having been
killed last Friday.
The performance of Baroness de la
Roche on a Voison machine have been
much talked of in Paris. This acci-
dent was not her first January 4, 1910,
she was seriously injured at the Cha
Ions aviation field. In circling the
course she made a wide turn and
crashed into a tree, being unable to
elevate her machine quickly enough to
dodge it. She fell from height of
twenty feet and was taken to the mill
tary hospital unconscious. Her right
shoulder was dislocated and internal
injuries were feared, but she recovered
Soon.A
In February last the French Aero
club gave Baroness de la Roche an air
pilots license for her feat in flying four
times around the aviation course at
Heliopolis, a distance of twelve miles.
PIONEER OF AVIATION
The baroness was one of the pioneers
of aviation She had also driven motor
boats in races, and motor cars in ex-
hibition, and as soon as flying became
the rage she learned to operate ma
chine.
While momentarily conscious, the
baroness explained that the rush or
air from a motor passing over her head
had frightened her, whereupon she cut
the ignition and lost control of the
machine.
Two ayiators broke the records for
$50 kilometers at the meeting here to-
day. Hubert Latham covered the dis
tance In 2 hours / minute and 6 sec
onds. and afterward the Belgian Olies-
lager. did it in / hour SO minutes ana
20 seconds.
Oleslager, not satisfied with his rec
ord of one hour, fifty-eight minutes
and twenty seconds fog the $50 ktlo-
meters. set out again and cut 1t to
one hour, fifty-four minutes and fifty
four and two-fifths seconds. He used
a Bleriot machine.
Two other records were broken to-
day. both of them by M. Leblanc, who
also used a Bleriot machine.
