DUNS FLOCK
IN A PULPIT SPEECH
Resigns and Tells People They
Ought to Pay Their Honest
Debts.

Philadelphia, Aug. 16.-Because the
majority of members of the congrega-
ton Of st. Stephens Protestant Episco-
pal church at Clifton Heights is said to
have preferred spending money raised
for an immense picnic rather than de-
vote it to the payment OF salary due
the rector, and other outstanding debts,
a rupture has resulted between the Rev.
Garwin Quinn, the clergyman, and he
parishioners. 1t eliminated In the
formers resignation and threatens to
plunge the church in further debt when
an effort is made TO fill his position.
In strongest terms he criticises he al
legged lack OF sense OF financial obl-
cations felt by the members Of the
church.
The rector read his resignation at a
recent service explaining hat as he
was about to leave 1t would be fitting
on the part of the congregation to make
some effort to pay his salary due since
last March. AS his annual remuner-
alton was only 1000 there was not a
great sum to raise. Mr.. Quinn sug-
gested that committees be formed to
solicit the necessary funds.

CubkNS EXCHANGE
BULLETS IN CAFE
IN POLITICAL WAR
I~mpromptu Pistol Duel Be.
tween Politician and Son of
President Causes Arrest.

Havana, Aug. 16.-Miguel Gomez, a
son of President Gomez, and Congress-
man armand Andres, editor of FL Dia,
an anti-administration the
principals in asst nights impromptu
pistol duel, were arrested early today.
The exchange of bullets took place
at the Cafe C~osmopolita, adjoining the
Hotel Inglaterra, the most fashionable
section OF the city. Andres was at sup
Der when the young man alighted from
g palace coach and entered the cafe.
Both men emptied their revolvers. but
neither the principals nor spectators
We're wounded.
Tried to Assassinate Foe.
Gomez was badly frightened when
4 TO the police station Inc at first
attempted TO deny his identity. Then
he declared he had no recollection OF
the shooting. Finally he broke down
and weeping, confessed, according to
he police, that he had attempted to
assassinate Andres in revenge for the
lAtter'g editorial attacks on his father
and himself.
Andres rs a bitter opponent political
ly OF President Gome:, and recently
established the FL Dia, which has since
conducted an energetic campaign
against the administration and also IS
sailed personally the integrity Of the
chief executive. The paper has also
made some sighting emar concern
ing young Gomez, who recently return
ed from London, where he was sent as
special attache to the Cuban legation
and the coronation of King GeorSei
Recently the statement has been freely
made the Miguel Gomez went heavily
armed and hat the EDITORS life was
in danger.
What The Editor Says.
Following his arrest Andres issued a
sworn statement In which he said that
Gomez had opened fire on him without
warning. He returned the fire, he said,
in self defense. When searched the
presidents son was found to be armed
with two automatic revolvers OF the
heaviest caliber. The magazine of one
Of these had been emptied. Both OF
the prisoners subsequently were re-
leased on bail.
The duel today was an absorbing
topic In all public places. The opinion
was generally expressed that Miguel
Gomez had deliberately planned the as
sassination of the editor. The oppon-
ents Of President Gomez declared hat
1t was now plain that the president was
committed to a policy Of terrorism and
assassination, which began with tho
shooting of General Pine Guerra when
the commander of the Cuban ermy~was
leaving the presidential palace onsthe
night Of October %.
The FL Dia today asserts that many
friends accompanying young Gomez
fired on the editor indicating that the
presidents son was the leader Of a
band OF assassins. Color is given to
this theory by the fact that the walls
Of the cafe ~Cosmopolita and the fronts
of the adjacent buildings show bullet
marks greatly exceeding in number the
shots that could possibly have been
fired by the principals.

W AIRMEN KILLED
IN CHICAGO CONTEST
Badger and tombstone Victim7
of Fatal Accidents at
Meet.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-Two aviators,
William b. Badger, Of Pittsburg, and
ST. Croix tombstone, of Chicago, both
young men, lost their lives at the inter-
national aviation meet here yesterday.
In dying both revealed the fraility of
the craft in which two score more avi-
ators were curving n gliding about
the air, with scarcely a aus for the
death of their contemporaries.
Death in both cases was due to I'M
explained accidents, probably the re-
suit OF unsupported defects in the me-
chanism of the machines, and in no
way was caused by carelessness or lack
Of responsibility of the drivers.
Badger, a wealthy youth, .careened to
his death in a pit in the aviation field.
There had been a flaw in one OF the
wings of the propeller of the Baldwin
machine he drove. Centrifugal force
broke the propeller, unset the delicate
equilibrium of the machine and Badger
dashed 100 feet to the bottom OF the
pit, his neck being broken.
tombstone fell 500 feet under his en-
CINE and was drowned as the result of
an equally unsupported defect. Caught
under the heavy engine In the Moisant
monoplane, he was carried deep into
Lake Michigan and his body was not
brought to the surface until an hour
later.
Badger lived for three-quarters Of an
hour after he had been extricated from
the wreck of his engine. He did not
recover consciousness and died almost
III once after he had reached a hospital.
His death was the first serious accident
of the meet, although IS fliers have
dipped and glided here and there for
three days and experts say several
similar accidents AVE been narrowly
ayerted.

London, Aug. 17.-There was little If
any abatement of the strike fever that
has spread through Great Britain today.
AT some points such as the London
docks. conditions continued to improve,
but his vas offset by outbreaks else
where.
With the exception of Liverpool,
where there was rioting nearly all
night, the men generally are orderly
and beyond picketing and peaceably
inducing men to join the unions, did
not interfere with those desiring work.
The fighting at Liverpool last night,
which resulted in the death Of two
rioters, who were shot by Hussars in
defending five prison vans occupied by
riot prisoners. whom the mob attempt
ed unsecCessfully to release, has not
tended thus far to improve the stu
alton except as it has helped to keep
the peacefully disposed outside the
strike area. This enabled the police
to more easily handle those who were
causing trouble.
Teams Now Unmolested.
This was particularly noticeable this
morning when the streets were quiet,
the rioters having retired for a much
needed rest after the nights battle, and
also probably to keep out of the way
OF the strong forces opposed to them,
during the daylight. The police and
soldiers, however, prepared for a re-
newal Of hostilities when night fell.
Today teams were busy removing
goods from the railway station to bus
mess houses. They were unmolested
Along the docks, however, work was at
a standstill, and the men showed an
ugly spirit. The continued rioting on
the Mersey port was not calculated to
restore confidence elsewhere, and men
at other ports were refusing to dis
charge steamers diverted from Liver
pool. Glasgow, for example, which had
just disposed Of a street railway strike,
now has a dock strike as a result Of
the men declining to remove a cargo
of fruit from a steamer sent from the
Mersey.
