Paris, June 19.-Three distin-
guished aviators instantly killed, one
probably fatally injured, five other
birdmen hurt in varying degrees and
200 spectators more or less injured,
tragically marked the beginning Of
the European circuit fight race from
the aviation park at Vincennes for
London yesterday
Sixty contestants were entered,
and started from three rectangles at
one end Of the field. In the tuning
up flights, Captain Princeteau expe-
rienced considerable difficulty with
his machine. Gaubert also had
trouble at the start, the machine
steering badly. His friends endeay-
ored to persuade him to not make
the fight but, after tinkering with
his steering gear, he arose from the
field and sailed against a stiff breeze
which had sprung up The steer
ing gear worked badly, and Gauberi
evidently was trying to land, but
feared to come down too close to the
trees near the end Of the aviation
field. Suddenly the machine became
unmanageable, and shot toward the
earth.
Princteaus death was most spec
tacular, and filled the spectator
with horror. Scarcely had he r'seI
from the ground when one Of tn
planes of his machine caught fire. II
struggled desperately to loosen tn
strap which held him in his seat

Salem is the acknowledged hop
center Of the Willamette valley, and
therefore Of the world. 1t also has
the distinction of being the center of
one of the most important prune
belts on the coast. 1t has dozens of
other things to boast Of; but 1t will
make even the most optimistic Sa-
lem booster sit up and open his eyes
to be told that 1t bids fair also to
become gold mining center. 1t will
undoubtedly make all Salemites sit
higher up, and take further notice,
to be told that there Is now on Bat
tie Creek, four miles south of town,
gold mine opened up with thou
sands of tons Of ore in sight, and
that there is a tubular quartz mill,
and Hercules amalgamator, with a
capacity of "a tons day in opera

of iron magnesia and clay, on Battle

Post said that dividend Of 10
per cent ON this $1O,OO0,OO0 stock
was declared in 1903 and 10 per cent
in 1904. The entire amount, he
said was $2,5OO,OOO. This sum was
paid to Post, who transferred, it to
Havemeyer.
Post said that five years later Hav-
emeyer gave him 5000 shares for or
ganizing the company, but that he
drew no dividends on it.
All the real money used in pro-
noting the concern was $4,6OO,OOO
advanced by his firm-B. H. Howell
e. Company-and this was used to
finance the shifting of the stock Of
the completed concern to the sugar
trust.
On cross-examination he admitted
that he named the board Of direct
ors, voting the two issues of Nation
al stock, instructed them what to do,
and then left the room while they
voted the $1O,OOO,OOO. He said he
always controlled the stock-voting'

He dreaded the thought of parting with

fact that he was neither decrepit nor i'm

In the last thirty-seven years his sal
airy had been cut eight times and his
work more than doubled. and still they
were going to put him out, he said,
simply because he had passed the three

followed the old principal, said his
boys" simply had to get together and
do something to provide the 'old man.

year if the Board of Education persisted
in retiring him.
