RODGERS RETAINS HIS LEAD,
AIRMEN HAVE CLOSE CALLS,

Aviation Field, Chicago, Aug. H.
The gusts of wind that made flying
dangerous yesterday were missing
when the meet opened today. Instead
there was a light but steady breeze
directly off the lake, and aviators said
1T would help rather than hinder the
flights. c. P. Rodgers retained his
hold of the duration lead with 10
hours 29 minutes and Is seconds in the
air.
Bomb throwing tests became part Of
the program today. Ten aviators were
entered.
Arthur Stone, driver of a Queen
monoplane, was snatched back from
death at the international aviation
meet Wednesday after hopes for his
life had been given up.
Howard GILL in baby Wright, came
almost as close to death, but escaped
from under the wreck of his machine
unhurt.
Lincoln Beachey, after flying far to
the south and fighting his way back
against the wind glided 5000 feet In
safety to the aviation field after his
engine had stopped.
James Ward flew for long time in
circles over the harbor and lake Michi-
gan, but descended safely in the field
after few wobb1es in the chopping
wind.
Stones machine fell into the lake
just at dusk. He 1eaped from the
falling plane and was rescued at the
point of exhaustion by motorboat.
He had supported himself in the water
for more than half an hour His ma
chine was not recovered.
Unnerved by the deaths of William
R. Badger and St Croix tombstone and
deferred by high. choppy wind, many
of the flyers here protested against
going up and warned the contest COM
mfttee that the aerop1anes could not
be controlled in the half gale of the
upper air.
The judges were insistent, however,
and finally half a dozen flyers rose for
a cross-water race from the shore
around the Carter H. Harrison crib,
three and one-half miles out Thomas
Sopwith had completed the second lap
Of the race and been declared winner
when a cry arose that Stones machine
had fallen into the water and that
the aviator was drowned. Later it
was reported that Stone was afloat
and then a rumor that a tug was
bringing his body ashore.
None of these could be verified and
Stones fate was unknown until a mo-
torboat reached the Chicago Yacht
clubs landing with Stone alive.

CARS OF LIMITED
LEAVE THE TRACK
No One Injured in Slight
Wreck Beyond Fort
Bliss.

The Golden State limited train due in
FL Paso at $3.50 Wednesday. was derailed
a few miles northeast of Fort Bliss
Wednesday afternoon. The road at that
place has been under repair for some
time, and the trains are allowed five
miles per hour while crossing the new
tracks. The section foreman had just
put in a temporary rail for the train to
pass over, but the heavy train, it Is said,
spread the rail- and the first four cars
rolled off the track, and inclined at an
uncomfortable angle at the side of the
track
The slow speed of the train prevented
serious accident and no one was in
jured.
The general offices in 81 Paso were
notified at once and a switch engine
with four cars went to the scene of the
derailment and brought the passengers
to town by $3.50 o'clock.
The wrecking crew was ordered out
and soon completed a ''shoo fly and by
means of the temporary track the trains
behind No. were able to pass without
losing any time.
About 10 o'clock Thursday morning
the train was safely on the main track.
and the derailed cars were brought to the
local yards about IL o'clock

INSURGENT TYPOS
MEET WITH REBUFFS
Houston Appears to Have
Best Chance For Next
Convention

San Francisco, Calf, Aug 1.-THE
"Insurgent" element Of the typograph-
zeal union in session here was defeated
at every turn today in votes on a Sc
ries Of proposals submitted to the con-
vention.
The main issue was an attempt to
secure proportionate representation
implied In q proposed amendment by
E. T. Cussock of Jacksonville. Florida,
providing that unions with 100 mem
bers or less be entitled to one delegate;
unions Of 100 to 900 membership to
two delegates. and those with 500 to
1000 membership be allowed three
delegates.
Members opposing this proposal con-
tended that such q rule would enable
the large unions to dominate the con-
yentton.
Voting on the site Of the next con-
yention Is scheduled for today. Hous-
ton claims a large increase in it's fol-
lowing from the ranks Of Ottawa and
Vancouver supporters who it is said.
have realized that they have no chance
of winning and will support Houston.

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Aug. lin the
rear fthe United States land office,
on the site where the new temporary
quarters for the postoffice will be
erected, stands one Of the old adobe
structures that figures in the early
military history of the Mesilla valley.
It will shortly be demolished to make
room for a modern building.
On the old door OF this building Is
stamped the words "Quartermaster's
Office" and major Van Patten tells
how this room was occupied by him
during the years of 1861 and 1852 as
post quartermaster under captain TeeI
of the First Texas artillery, serving
under the flag Of the Confederate
States Of America.
The quartermaster's office at that
time was In the center Of a large
tract of vacant ground. No thought
was entertained that this would ever
be a thriving business section, and yet
the building still stands as a monu-
ment to the military spirit OF the early
days.

Mesilla was the Confederate headquar-
ters for the Arizona. territory, later to

of Excitement

Berino, n. NJ, Aug. 17.-This end OF
the valley had an epidemic of rough
house directly traceabie to "boot-Ieg-
ging," as there is no saloon at this
place to account for the drunkenness
and fighting that took place. One Do
mingo Basquez, after imbibing freely,
proceeded to relieve his feelings on
his little girl by kicking her in the
ribs and then varied things by chasing
his wife to neighbor's house The
neighbOr, Ponciano Romero. Directing
to the turn matters were taking, un-
dertook to stay the proceedings by ap-
plying neckyoke as Basquez climbed
the fence with razor, but as Romero
is the smallest citizen Of the town,
Basquez had no difficulty in wrestling
the yoke from him, when Romero
showed remarkable sprinting quail
ties until he had armed himself with
an ak from the nearby wood pile Mat

tirely.
Chamberino also had a four corner

bic to render decision as to which
