TOM LAWSON NOT GUILTY
 OF PROMOTING LOTTERY
Massachusetts Judge Orders His Ac-
 quittai On The Charge.

Plymouth, Mass. Oct. 19-A verdict of acquittal of Thomas W. Lawson, the Boston ffnancier, on a charge of dis posing of property by a lotters was ordered by Judge Joseph r. Quinn in the superior court here today. The court took the case from the jury at the conclusion of the testimony for the prosecution without hearing any evil dence for the defense. This revers- eS the verdict of the district court, which found MT. Lawson guilty and fined him S100.
 The case was instituted on complaint of the Watch and Ward society of Boston, after Mr. Lawson had pre- sented a horse and carriage to the holder of a numbered ticket of ad- mission to the annual fair of the Marshfield Fair association of which he is president The court ruled that no evidence had been introduced to show that MT Lawson had been con- nected with a lottery The prosecu- to the holder of the lucky ticket was merely a pretext to increase the sale ot admission tickets.
 The court said that the evidence showed that the tickets instead of be- ing sold by the Boston capitalist, were sold by the ticket seller at the fair grounds. Judge Quinn quoted the tickets to the fair no property was sold. inasn1uch as ticket, instead of being property, is merely license to enter certain place and may be re- voked by the seller for any good cause.
 After being discharged MT. Law son told the newspaper representa- t1veS that next year he would offer to the Marshfield fair pair of horses and a carriage.

TO CHANGE COATING ON
 EASTER CANDIES Dr. Wiley to Get After Pennsylvania Confectioners.

Washington, Oct 19.-As the result of a talk today between Dr. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture and dairy and food officials of Pennsylva- mia, tt is probable that the confec- tionery manufacturers of the Keystone state will be required to change the coating of their Easter goods and that of some of their candies.
 Dairy and Food Commissioner James Fous- of Pennsylvania, his chief coun- sel, A. ". Woodward, and his chem ist, Dr. William Frear, came here to- day and met with Dr. Wiley. They are under an engagement to meet representatives of the trade in Har- ris5urg tomorrow.
 The material used in coating ca>l- dies and ccnfections has largely been condemned by the Pennsylvania au- thorities as varnisfl. It is charged al so that the co1oring in many of the seductive Easter goods is due to iron, rather than to chocolate. As two thirds of this country's production of these goods comes from Pennsylvania, there is general interest in the result of the crusade.

Macon, Ca, Oct. 19.-Eugene Ely, aviator, was fatally injured at the state lair grounds today when his machine failed to rise after a sensational dip and plunged with him fifty feet to the ground. Nearly 5000 persons saw him fall into the middle of the race track after almost clearing the machine by a desperate leap when he realized his peril.
 His Dying Words.
 He died a few minutes later, re- gaining consciousness just before the end lcng enough to mutter: q lost control; l know I am going to die"
 Second Flight of Day.
 Ely made a flight this morning, as cending to an altitude of S,1oe feet. At 2.45 o'clock he began his second flight from the track inclosure which he circled in 8 few minutes at the rate of about thirty miles an hour. As he was completing the circuit. he made dip.
 Lost Grip on Lever
 The machine shot down with tre- mendous velocity and the crowd ap- plauled, thinking the aviator would rise, as he had done many times be- fore. But he seemed to lose his grip on the lever, for the machine contin- and he struggled to rise from his seat
 Jumped from Aeroplane.
 In fact. he released the level alto gether and half-jumped, barely clear ing the aeroplane as t crashed to the ground. The machine was demolished and Ely struck with terrific force.
 Was Daring Aviator.
 Ely left his wife in New York two weeks ago to come to Macon to make flights for the Georgia state fair He had been giving spectacular flights here for eight days and went up one occasion in rain storm. Today he even offered to make a flight by night after painting his craft with phos- phorus. The offer was declined.
 Expected Something to Happen.
 Before making his fatal ascent, Ely told his attendants that he feared something would happen and asked them to notify his wife immediately if it die. ~
 His body will be taken to New York tomorrow.

IN LINE OF FIRING.
American University and Hospital in
 the War Zone.

London, Oct. 19.-Fear that the Chi nese admiral will Lombard the rebel camps at Wu-Chang has disturbed the missionary circles in London. Dr.. Somerville, a member Of the London mission at Wu-Chang, who is now here, points out that as Hank ang and the native city of Hankow, which are op- posite the rebel camps, are also in the hands of the reVolutionists, the impe- rial gunboatS will be precluded from taking up a. position in the river be- tween the two fires, and so will be forced to thow thei shells from the north. In this case the American Boone university and the Americon Swedish Wesleyan and London mis- sion hospitals and schools will all be in direct line of the firing.
 Dr. Somerville says that French agitator who is prominent in the pres ent outbreak carried on a revolution ary propaganda at the club connected with Boone university, several of whose students were executed because of their connection with him.

NO NEWS AT PEKING.
Many Wild Rumors in Circulation
 Rebel Force Numbers 12,000.

Picking. Oct. 19.-The foreign lega- lions in Picking haev received no die spatches from Hankwoy since o'clock last evening. The last message from the American consul genera, Roger s. Greene, said only that the fighting had begun It is believed, however, that the concessions in Hankow are safe, and that the ten or twelve foreign cruisers and gunboats in the harbor are ample protection, even from the Joint Chinese army and navy.
 Stray Shells Dangerous.
 But it will be impossible to prevent stray shells from threatening the for eigners, conhagrations and footing by the rabble. It would difficult to cor don the concessions, because they are not surrounded by a wall. Only mar row streets cut them off from the densely packed Chinese city.
 Troops Refused to Detrain.
 A report has reached here that inn perialist troops have refused to de- train at Hankow. Signs of discontent at Hankow are subsiding after yester- days fight. The rebels who restreat- ed because of shortage of ammunition and the arrival of government rein forcements retired in a Southerly di- native city of Hankow while others made their way towards Wu Chang The loyal troops were not suficientIy strong to press home any advntake they gained.

Inference is That Imperial Troops Have Not
 Won Decisive Victory at Hankow
THE LEGATIONS KEPT IN IGNORANCE
Apprehension That Foreigners Might Suffer From Stray Shots, Confagration CT Looting-Both Armies Said to be in Danger of Wholesale Desertions-Rebels Reported to Have Force of 12,000 Under Arms.

Hanlow is again cut off from direct telegraphic communication with the outside world. It is not known there fore whether the fighting which began early Wednesday morning between the revolutionists and the imperial troops continues.
 The latest advices from Hankow in- dicated that the rebels had retired in- to Wu Chang, having met with tenn porary reverse. But the fact that northing has been received by the le- gation at Picking during the past A hours would seem to indicate that the jmperialists have not succeeded in forcing a decisive engagement
