Charles ]. Hughes. Jr.. United
States Senator from Colorado, is
dead. Senator Hughes passed away
at his home in Denver, surrounded by
the members of his family and few
close friends. His death was like the
closing of book. He had been un-
conscious for twenty-four hours and
passed from state Of coma almost
imperceptibly into a last sleep. Only
when DR.. James R. Arneill turned and
said quietly, HE is dead" did the
watchers at the bedside realize that
the forceful life Of Charles ]. Hughes
had closed. Hard work was the chief
cause of death. No man ever drove
himself SO unremittingly as Senator
Hughes. BY iaborious effort, nimble-
ness of intellect, sound learning and
the power of personality. Senator
Hughes had made himself one of the
most conspicuous lawyers in the West.

AERO CLUB TO
 GIVE FLIGHTS : IN CITY SOON
We'll Known Wright Instructor To Give Exhibitions and
 Take Passengers

Under the guidance of A. l.. Walsh "a we'll known pilot of the Wright aero- planes, flying exhibitions, cross cou1i- try flights and passenger carrying trips will be made from the Lake ,Aerodrome in this city on September 2s and %. This announcement was made last night by President, A. Hol- land Forbes of the Aero Club of Con- necticut, and Richard Crane 3rd, chair man of the committee of arrange ments.
 The committee has selected a Wright machine because Bridgeport has seen the Bleriot :. and Curtiss f1iers, while the Wright type is still a novelty here. It is believed that a number of the aero club members will avail them selves of the opportunity to take a trip into the air. MT. Welsh IS con- sidered an expert instructor and "a safe man with whom to make a. trip into the azure.
 For the convenience of the public and in order to give all an opportun- ity to see the flights, early morning exhibitions have been arranged, from o'clock until 10. and in the after noon from o'clock until 6, the after noon hour being the time for the pas senger carrying experiments.
 The second meeting of the Aero Club of Connecticut will be at Water bury beginning October 12.

DEEDS OF THE GREAT.
Kaiser's Pet Pipe Worth 60 Cents
 Other Kings Fancies.

King Edward liked cigars, cigarettes and a pipe. In his young days his Majesty smoked cigarettes and noth- ing else. Once when the King was miles out on the Yankee Prairie, dur ing his American and Canadian trav- companions followed his example. "A match please,'' said his Royal High ness.
 A matchi There was but one match between the whole party. The posi- tion was tragic, for the wind was tearing over the prairie.
 In order to decide who should at aliglrt in the wind lots were drawn with blades of grass. The dire re- sponsibility fell upon the King. He lay on the ground, and his compan- ions gathered round him with out stretched coats as shelter
 The match was lighted, so were all the cigars. Never before or since has the King felt so nervous as when he struck that match in the vast Am erican prairie miles away from any town or village.
 The German Emperor smokes ci- garS and cigarettes out of doors, but when in the privacy of his study he puffs at small wooden pipe of the type favored by the average smok- CT, and costing about SO cents.
 The King of Spain keeps strictly to the cigarette. This is rolled in paper ungummed and requires very careful smoking to keep whole
 Alfonso's cigarette is about as pecu- Liar as the cigar which the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria used to smoke The latter was fitted with a straw tube, and had to be held in a candle flame for minute Or two be- fore it could be made to draw.

UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WOLGAST- -M'FARlAND
 FIGHT IN MIL LWAUKEE
Club Officials Declare Bt ut Will Go on But Governor
 Says Not

Milwaukee, Sept. 13--Another. day of tedious wrangling left the much dis just where it was yesterday. The fight scheduled for this city Friday night, just where it was yesterday. The flint fans cannot make head or tail out of the situation. The club officials de- clare that the mill will go on without interruption. The Sheriff of this courl- ty is non-committal, iActing-Governor Thomas Morris, at Lacrosse. Wis, evil dently remains firm in his determina- tion to have Sheriff Arnold prevent the exhibition.
 The fight promoters tried in vain yesterday to get into conference with Attorney General Bancroft, who was expected in this city. It is the con- sensus of opinion here that the only chance of pulling off the bout lies in defying the authorities. The Sheriff in such case might find himself un- able to cope with the local situation unless he called upon the state troops
 Few believe that the promoters will defy the law. That would be too risky a venture to make the gate a paying one. Packey Mcfarland has received an offer to box Matt Wells, the British champion, in Madison Square Garden, New York, in case the meeting with champion Ad Wolgast here is inter- rupted

George favor the pipe when in prs- vate, but their smoking implements are of little value. A small pipe of the bulldog type is affected by both of them, and the tobacco they con- sume is of the common, inexpensive kind.
 Bismarck was an ardent devotee of the weed, and it was his boast that he consumed over 1c0,o0e cigars in 90 years
 Thomas Ava Edison probably holds the record for the number of cigars smoked daily by one man, for he has confessed that, while 10 cigars are his normal allowance, he consumes double that number when deeply ab- sorbed in work.
 Edwin Booth often smoked g ci- gars day, and his dresser used to stand in the wings with a lighted cigar in his hand ready for the great actor when he made his exit
 Tennyson's love for his pipe was pro- verbal. It was the great poets boon companion, and an, Irish clay was his fayorite. Baskets of clay pipes ready for use were stacked round the walls of his study, and as many as 200 were to be found Lying loose on the floor. Tit Bits.

.BRESNAHAN WILL TRY ;. OUT YOUNGSTERS FOR
 BALANCE OF THIS YEAR

As soon as their respective seasons close Bresnahan's drafted players will report in St. Louis. Roger is anxious for them to report as soon as possi- ble. He wants to get look at his newly acquired athletes. When the Cards were in Chicago Roger, said, he would give the youngsters a trial. and all those who fail to come up to his expectations will be sent back to the minors again. The Cards are un- questionably out of the race, and the manager says he may go to extremes to test the new material.
 Roger has a flock of young pitch CTS booked for delivery this fall. and he entertains high hopes of $ picking several regulars from the lot. Bresna- han is more concerned about his pitch ing material than over the other can- didates The former Giant catcher thinks that if he can develop another pitcher of the Bill Steele type and if Golden makes good next year he will be we'll fortified in the fight for the 1912 pennant.
 Some fans doubt that Bresnahan will try out his youngsters this fall, for the simple reason that the Cards have a hard fight before them to finish in the first division. By giving the recruits a chance, the fans seem to think it will be putting the team in a precari- ous condition since the experiment. is an uncertain one. It is thought that Roger will line up his youngsters in a winning game and in that way get an idea of just how we'll each man can perform.
 The only two outfielders who have reported to Roger are Clark and Gi1- hooiey. The latter was highly recom- mended to Bresnaflan.

Kennedy May Come
 Back To Yale Crew
Rum0r That He May be Engaged as Assistant to Jim
 Rodgers

For the present the negotiations looking to the retention of John Ken nedy as assistant coach to Coach Jim Rodgers, of the Yale navy, have been suspended, and the former coach is to pack up. and leave New Haven on Sept. 20.
 There was to have been a confer ence between Rodgers and Kennedy, Monday, but the former found it i'm possible to come to New Haven from New York, and as a result Kennedy will continue his preparations to leave for his old home in Maine.
 Despite this, however, it is not at all definitely settled that Kennedy will not be called upon later. Some sur mise that 1t may be a matter of sal- ary alone that will keep him from be- coming Rodgers assistant. There is plenty of time yet, and some sort of agreement may be reached when Rodgers begins to feel the pressure of the need of an assistant. Ken nedy, however, admits that negotia- tions are probably definitely off for the nraSent

Flynn Wants To
 Box Jack Johnson
Fireman so Confident He'll Beat Morris That He Cancels
 Australian Trip

So sure is Jim Flynn that he will defeat Carl Morris, the Oklahoma giant, in their ten-round bout at Mad ison Square Garden on Friday night that he has began negotiations for the cancellation of his contract to go to Australia to box Jack Lester, the Tommy Burns white hope" and re- cent conueror of Bill Lang.
 When Flynn heard that Jack JoF1n- son, the worlds champion, was con- sidering coming back to America in- stead of making the trip to the anti podes, the Pueblo fireman decided that there would be more money in staying right in New York and making a match with the champion. And with the hope that he will get. crack at Johnson, Flynn is not leaving any stone unturned to be in prime condi ton for his first essay in a boxing ring in New York. Flynn takes Morris seriously. He believes that he is the making of a good fighter, but also believes that just yet he is not right to combat with man of Fylynns ability.
