AVIATOR RODGERS IS INJURED
THE TRANS-CoNTjNENTAL FLYER
PLUNGES 1926 FEET.
6irdman Knocked Unconscious in Fall
Was Last Leg Of His Long
Journey.

Los Angeles, Nov. 14.-In an at
tempted flight from Pasadena to Long
Beach, officially to end his Atlantic
Pacific journey, Aviator G. P. Rodgers
met with the worst mishap of his ca
reer, falling with his machine 1876 feet
into a plowed field, half way between
the two cities, and within sight of his
destination.
Although NJ bones were broken,
Rodgers was made unconscious. He
was severely shaken, his face was
scratched and torn, his hands were
burned by his motor, and he COM
planned of a severe pain in his side.
His machine was wrecked.
While the cause of the accident will
not be known until Rodgers RECEIVERS
sufficiently to explain it, it is believed
that a control wire snapped, fitting
the rudder of his machine, heading it's
nose downward at an angle of more
than As degrees. Rodgers complained
of engine trouble when he alighted at
Covina Junction, but, according to the
automobilist who saw him fall, was
flying smoothly at the time.
Ell Paso.-Aviator Fowler was un-
able to continue his trans-continental
flight from Mastodon, N. NJ, where he
was stranded in the heavy sand a
week ago., owing to the failure of the
railway company to furnish him with
a fiat car from which to make the
ascent.

REPUBLICANS TO CHICAGO.
City Has Captured Next Presidential
Convention.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Chicago will be
the scene of the next republican presi-
Dental convention. The man who has
assured this prize for the city is Fred
w. Upham, treasurer of the national
republican committee. Usually the
decision as to the place for holding
the convention is reached at the De-
cember meeting Of the national COM
mittee, prior to the campaign.
Mr.. Upham, through a bit Of
strategy, has arranged for the conven-
ton here. Kansas City and Denver,
which were preparing to contest with
Chicago and eastern cities for the
honor, lost the fight before it vas be-
gun.
Mr.. Upham sent a circular letter a
few weeks ago to members of the ma
tional committee, calling attention to
the advantages of Chicago geographi.
cally and to it's ability to accommo-
date large crowds. He asked the
committeeman to support a motion
naming Chicago the convention city.
All but three of the committeeman
have replied. OF the responses in
hand, three-fourth are favorable to
Chicago. Consequently Kansas City
and Denver will not have a "look in"

MORE ovERTuREs FOR PEACE.
Chinese Throne Expresses Willingness
to Abdicate.

Pekin, Nov. 14.-Yuan Shi Kai and
the government exchanged kilograms.
Yuan has agreed to come to Pekfn to
discuss the situation, but he adheres
to his resolve not to accept the pre-
miership. The American legation does
not believe Yuan Shi Kai has yet adj
vised the throne to a%bdicate, as some
reports stated, but he may do so later.
The fact that the man on whom the
government depends more than any
one else is coming to Pekin has caused
a general feeling of relief and of hope
that he will evolve plans to end the
present chaos. 1t is understood that
the court will remain in the Forbidden.
City, realizing that their departure
now would be fatal. 1t is also under
stood that the throne is willing to ac-
cept a pension and retire to Jehol, if
safety is assured. Prince Ching, the
acting premier, does not desire to re-
main in office, but he continues to sup
port the regent, who has no other
trusted adviser.
The situation at Kai Feng, Ho Nan
province, is serious. The governors
family left for the north. The gov.
ernor remains. The governor of Tai
Guam Flu, Shan ST province, and his
wife and thirty Manchus have been
%beheaded. The rebels are maintaining
order and excellent administration.
The whole province of Shan ST is sup
porting the movement.
Mukden and New Chwang are con-
trolled by defense societies, consisting
of troops and civilians. The condl-
ton prevailing in these places prac,
tically amount to independence.

Shanghai.-Chi Flu went over to the

The rebels took possession of the

London Policemen to Have Dog Com.
NAMES.

London. April 29.-In the future
London policemen in the outlying
and suburban districts of the city are
to be accompanied by dogs, if they so
desire.
Hitherto individual officers have
been granted permission to take their
own dogs with them on making appli-
cation, in the same way as permits
sion is granted in suitable cases for
them to carry sticks or REVIEWERS. The
practice will now be extended, hay-
ing been tried as an experiment and
found successful. It lis not proposed
to organize a system of dogs owned
by the police, but the men will be
allowed to take their own dogs
though they will have to satisfy their
superior officers that the circum-
stances warrant the application.
There will be n type used, and
in any case the police authorities will
not control the selection, but simply
watch the governments. The dogs
will doubtless be used for the double
purpose of protecting the police Of
'icer if attacked and holding a man
whom he may desire to arrest.
The advantage of using dogs which
are the personal property of the of
fcers is that they will probably be
more obedient and docile than dogs
taken from a general police kennel.

THE P-EsTIFEROUs FLY.

Pretty soon now, as gentle spring
comes with the bright warm sun, we
will be pestered with the pestifeous
insignificant and useless fly. The
following is taken from a ely Catech-
ism" distributed to the children in
North Carolina schools. and it gives
a whole lot of information about the
fly in a few words:
Where is the fly born? In filth.
Where does the fly live? In filth.
Where does he go? Into the
kitchen and Dining room. He walks
on the bread, fruit and vegetables; he
wipes his feet on the butter and
bathes in the buttermilk.
Does the fly visit the patient sick
with consumption, typhoid fever and
cholera infantum? He does-and
may call on you next.
What diseases does the fly carry?
He carries typhoid fever, tuberculo-
sis and sumner complaint. How? On
his wings and hairy feet. What is
his correct name? Typhoid fly.
The "catechism is written for child
rem, but the adult mind need not be
offended by its simplicity. Read it
and swat every fly in sight.

Hill, and you politicians must deter

you will have to change that rule
and form and express political
opinions, for if we establish our indie
pendence the people will make you
Mr.. Davis successful"
