GOT HIS SOBRIQUET EARLY
"Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to the Title Long Before
Manhood.

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John"
Kelly, the ex-umpire, first got his nick
name. Mr.. Kelly himself, according
to New York letter, holds that it
came to him naturally, for even as a
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. II think the first
time | was ever called Honest John
was when / was quite a youngster|
said Kelly. "a man engaged as an
ambulatory salesman of tinware OBJ
served the ingenious countenance I
presented to the world and hailed me.
You look honest, boy" said he. What
might your name be?' John said l,
quite simply. 'John'-just like that.
Then hold my horse while l go In
the saloon and get a drink said he.
And so l held his horse while he went

this was on lower Ninth avenue, i'll a

wagon full Of tinWare. The peddler
was detained within by a sore Thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cqsh-

coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took it away. True to nay
trust, l stood there, holding the horse.

AIRMEN HOXSEY AND
MOISANT FALLS TO DEATH
In High FliJht-Chicago
Mans Drop Short.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Arch Hoxsey, the
aviator, was killed in an attempt to
break his own worlds altitude record
Of 11.474 feet, set last Monday.
Hoxey was descending from a
fight made in the face of gale
which had caused most of the other
aViators participating in the meet to
abandon their efforts for the DAY. He
had come down to 563 feet Of the
earth in safety and then his machine
failed.
The aeroplane seemed to have been
caught in a vortex Of contrary air cur
rents in treacherous atmosphere
and was whirled over and over as it
came tumbling toward the earth.
Hoxey was dead when taken out
OF the wreckage Of his machine. Ap-
parently his life had been crushed out
by the weight Of the motor, which
was wrenched from its position in the
aeroplane by the force of the impact
with the earth.
New Orleans.-John 3. Moisant, ma
tive Of Chicago and one Of the worlds
most daring and successful aVlatofs,
was killed by being thrown out OF a
Blerfot monoplane.
The accident happened at a time
when Moisant apparently had his ma
chine under complete control. One
puff Of wind tilted the planes, the
seat assumed an angle that made 1t
impossible for the aviator to keep his
place, and he shot down head first, a
hundred feet landing on his head
and breaking his neck.

The young man waited for the mill

The youth frightened up.

similar amount"
And the young man went away sor-

ANARCHISTS HOLD
LONDON At BAY

Battle.
LIST OF INJURED Is LONG
Hundreds of Soldiers and Policemen,
Horse and Afoot, Wage Fierce
Fight Against Six Trapped
Criminals.

London.-In a nine-hour battle
with armed police and soldiers in
the very heart Of London, five an
archists were killed, three police Off
GERS, two soldiers and three citizens
were shot and more or less seriously
wounded and q number of firemen
were injured
The anarchists, armed with rapid
firing guns, and barricaded in their
quarters In four-story Sidney street
building, fought 1900 policemen and
two half companies Of soldiers, as
we'll as a sQual of artillerymen, for
hours.
They were driven, finally, to the
roof. The building had been set on
fire, either by the police to Smoke
out" the suspects or by the men them
selves to avoid capture. When the
supports burned the roof fell, and the
anarchists fell into seething furnace.
Two bodies were recovered, those
of Peter the Painter" and Dutch
Fritz" 1t Is believed the bodies of
their companions were incinerated
The firemen who suffered injury
were hurt when the roof collapsed.
The dead anarchists are believed
to have belonged to band that was
plotting to kill King George " during
his coronation ceremonies. Two Of
them were suspected of the recent
murder Of three policemen In a bur-
glary In the Houndsditch district.
The suspects had converted four
story building in Sidney street into
veritable fort, which they defended
with raptd-fring guns of the latest
pattern.
Vast crowds gathered in the mar
row streets leading to the scene, while
word of the desperate character of
the fighting ran throughout London,
causing widespread excitement and
alarm
At one time the besieging force
called for machine guns, but these
were not brought into actual use.
A member Of the ministry, Home
Secretary Winston Churchill, visited
the scene when the fighting was at it's
height and assisted In subduing the
