conqress tc Probe Delaware Ballot.


Senator Dupont may not be returned
from Delaware as senator without the
washing of much dirty linen.
The Democratic house in the Sixty
second congress is to inquire into the
ways of Delaware politicians and poll
tics.
1t is charged there were grave
frauds in the election to congress of
Representative Heald, and as he repre-
sentS the state at large, a contest be-
fore one of the election committees
of the house will bring under public
scrutiny the conduct of the elections
in the entire state. not of course as to
officials other than members of the
house, but at the same time it is ex-
pected to illuminate the general sub
ject of election methods in Delaware
pretty thoroughly.
Inasmuch as the Anti-Bribery league
had detectives Watching at the polls
on Nov. s, il is supposed that it will
have some evidence Of interest to con-
tribute ii there is an investigation.
1t is charged that the buying of
votes in Delaware is so nearly open
and so fragrant that there is little con-
cealment about it, and that enormous
sums are used. The advantage of in
Quiry into the facts by a committee
Of congress is that it will have due
authority to get at the facts. 1t is
pointed out that if an exposure of the
truth does no other good, it may at
least through publicity serve to help
conditions.

HUNDREDS KILLED
Pitched Battle Between Rebels and
Government Forces.


Four hundred persons were killed on
Saturday evening at Zacatecas in a
pitched battle between government
troops and revolutionary forces, ac-
cording to official advices which have
been received at Ciudad Porforo DiaZ,
Mexico, but have been carefully with
held from the American side. Railroad
men brought the news
Revolutionists, following the plan
adopted at Puebla when 1876 men and
women were killed, arose and with
guns obtained from somewhere, began
q fusillade on the soldiers. The details
Of the engagement are lacking. but the
positive fact remains that 400 persons,
mostly rebels, were killed.
American Consul Luther f. Ellis
worth has received information con-
cerning the battle, but the Mexican Of
ficials have minimized 20 him the loss
of life. His report says that less than
100 were killed.
Revolutionary riots occurred at Al
lende, near Ciudad Porforo Diaz, at
Irapuato and at other places, but on
account OF the censorship the facts
haven't been given publicity except az
admissions that the soldiers were com
PEELED to fire into mobs of rioters

Flies From Ship Over Sea to Land

wa
Eugene B. Ely, the aviator. made the
Arst successful flight from the deck
of a naval vessel when his Curtis bi-
plane was started from a temporary
launching platform upon the forward
deck of the scout cruiser Birmingham,
which was anchored in Hampton
Roads, off Old Point Comfort. Va 1t
was the most spectacular flight ever
seen in this country.
After many hours of preparation Ely
finally climbed into his machine. He
had been delayed for several hours BY
flurries of hail and rain. He was anX-
ious, however, to start in spite of the
adverse weather conditions. FlnalIy
his aeroplane was started down the
platform, which was i med at an an
gle of about five degrees. His machine
gathered momentum rapidly, Ely MAX
ing a slight miscalculation in controll-
ing the levers, which made his ma
chine dart down toward the water.
He saw the land directly ahead OF
Willoughby Split and descended there
without difficulty. He covered abom
five miles in q little more than f1Ve
minutes. His machine travelled at the
rate of about fifty-flve miles an hour. a
launch from the scout cruiser picked
Ely up and placed him on board the
destroyer Roe, on which he returned
to the Norfolk navy yard.

Glass Trust Makes Workers Pay Fine.
Attorney General Wickersham ex-
hibited much indignation at Washing
ton at the published announcements
that the Imperial Window Glass COM
pany, OF Pittsburg. popularity known
as the window glass trust" intends
to cut the wages of 500 to 700 en-
ployes 80 per cent, as a result of the
fines which a federal court recently
imposed upon the corporation, it's off,
GERS and directors.
The court fined the corporation
$2500 and the officers and directors
small amounts, making about $4,000
in all.
The attorney general confessed his
disappointment at the small amount
of the fines imposed. The company
and its officers, he said, were under
criminal indictments, to which they
pleaded guilty.
The department of justice charged
that the combine had raised the prices
of window glass from 20 to 100 per
cent in less than a year, and was in
sisting on substantial punishment. One
Of the results Of the courts action is
that Mr.. Wickersham is convinced that
the breaking up of alleged criminal
trusts must be accomplished through
actual Jail sentences rather than fines,
and the department, 1t Is declared,
will work for that end in the future.
There is no way known to the de-
Dartment Mr. WickerSham said hy
which the corporation could be stop
ped from cutting the wages of its en-
ployes and attributing its action to
the governments prosecution, but Mr.
Wickersham intimated that facts in
his possession offered opportunity tc
proceed against some Of the directors
personally az another time.

New Explosive Wrecks Warship.

In an experiment to test the effect
of an uncOnined explosion of high
explosive nitroglycerine, the monitor
Puritan was badly damaged in Hamp-
ton Roads, off Fortress Monroe
Va, after two charges of 200 pounds
each had been exploded against her
after turret and side. In a sinking
condition the vessel was rushed to the
Norfolk navy yard.
In the first test the armor of the
aft turret was badly cracked. In the
second explosion, which was against
the side of the ship aft the armor
plate was badly stove and bad leaks
developed below the water line, flood
ing at least one big compartment of
the ship.
Inventor Isham declared that high
explosives with great outside concus-
sion are more dangerous than inside
explosives. Captain knight, Rear Ad-
miral Mason and some of the others
who witnessed the experiment ac-
knowledged that much more damage
was done than they had anticipated.
Captain Knight said the second eXplO-
sion was very severe.

TOMBSTONE
KILLED IN FLIGHT
Daring Aviator Meets Death
at Denver.
AIRSHIP TURNED TURTLE
He Fell 300 Feet While ATTEMPTING
Spectacular Dip, and Every Bone
In His Body Was Broken.

Ralph JOhnStOne was killed by
drop OF 800 feet in his runaway biplane
at Overland Park at Denver, Gel. He
struck the earth, gave a few short
gasps and expired. Nearly every bone
in his body was broken.
From the time he lost control of the
machine until it struck the earth it
turned three complete sOmersaults,
and it is a question whether some hing
broke or whether the machine was
broken by the strain of these evolu
tiOns before it struck the ground.
When the crowd saw the machine
whirling downward there was a scat
tering, and the space on which it fell
was clear of people until the crash.
Then there was a rush to the spot
where JOhnstOne's crushed and bloody
body lay. Police were the first at his
side and lifted the motor which bore
him down. Then the crowd was driven
back and a canvas stretcher secured
to remove the body. Forced backward
by the officers, the crowd next rushed
to where the lighter parts of the ma
chine lay in tangled heap thirty
feet away, and before the police could
prevent it the framework and every
thing had been broken or torn to bits
and carried away by souvenir fiends.
JOhnstone had been doing magnifi
cent work in the air for two days, and
previous to the accident had scared
away from the park and taken a turn
over Fort Logan, several miles dis
tant, while HOxsey and Brookins were
manoeuvring over the park. When the
crowd saw him returning at an alti.
tudeOf about 500 feet there was a
great cheer AS he gracefully dipped
his machine in response he was again
cheered, and he then began making a
spiral descent to the starting ground
in the park, and then it was noticed
that his machine wobbled several
times. Suddenly the aeroplane swerv-
ed, darted toward the ground and after
turning three somersaults struck the
earth with terrific force.
During the descent Johnstone could
been seen clutching the levers about
his seat, while the frightened specta-
tors wondered if by some chance he
couldn't right his machine and save
himself from death
When the aerplane struck the spec
tators rushed from the grand stand
and paddock and literally mObbed one
another trying to ascertain the fate Of
the daring airman.
His corpse was a narrowing sight.

broken and the bones of his thighs
were forced through the flesh and
through his heavy leather garments.
