TWO AIRMEN KILLED
IN CHICAGO CONTEST
Badger and tombstone VictiLl7
Of Fatal Accidents at
Meet.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-two avi&torS,
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 We're curving and gliding about
II air, with scarcely a pause for the
death OF their contemporaries,
Death in both cases was due to un-
explained accidents, probably the re-
suit of unsupported defects in the me-
chantsm of the machines, n 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 q 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
at once after he had reached a hospital.
His death was the first serious accident
of the meet, although 50 filters have
dipped and glided here and there for
three days and experts say several
similar accidents have been narrowly
aVerted.

INSURGENTS WANT

steel and sugar had been taken up and
disposed of.
Democratic Leader Underwood, of the
House today picked Wednesday, Aug
ust 23, as the probable date of adjourn

He said that it appeared practically
certain that action would be taken on
the cotton bill.

London, Aug. 17.-There was little IL
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 this was offset by outbreaks else
where.
With the exception of Liverpool,
where there was rioting nearly all
night, the men generally are orderly
n 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 ans 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 UnmoIested.
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 We're 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
Merscy.

VIOLENT DUST STORM
WORKS GREAT DAMAGE

WaIIa WalIa, Wash, AUG. is.
Much property damage was
done here yesterday when the
worst dust storm since 1886, ac-
cording to the weather observer,
visited this section. The winds
reached a velocity Of so miles an
hour. Trees were uprooted, win
dows broken and signs demoi-

yellow and green clouds rolled
up from the west and turned

REPUBLICANS BREAK
ON WOOL REDUCTION

Washington, Aug. I6.--The tariff re-
~visionfsts made considerable progress
in yesterday. The House by
a vote OF 206 to 90, without a democrat
breaking the party alignment, adopted
the conference report on the wool
tariff revision bill and rushed 1t over
to the Senate, where 1t was hung up
on the calendar for passage probably
today. Thirty republican representa-
tives n n independent republican
voted for the bill.
The republican representatives who
voted for the wool conference report
were:
Akin, New York Independent re-
pu%blican): L~indbergh. New York; Vol
stead, Davis, Anderson, Miller anc
Stevenson, Minnesota; Esch, Kopp,
Lenroot, Morse, Davidson, Nelson, Wis
consin; Hanna, Helgeson, North Da-
kota; Hubbard. Haugen. Woods. Iowa:
Jackson, Reese, Murdoch. Madison.
Young, Kansas; Stephens, CALIFORNIA;
Kinkaid, Norris, Sloan, Nebraska. La
Toilette, Warburton, Washington.
For this measure, which imposes a
flat ad valorem duty of 20 per cent on
all rave woods, with correspondingly
reduced rates on wooden manufactures,
the other two tariff measures will be
sidetracked TO give 1t the right OF way
to the White House for the expected
veto. On the veto depends h further
program of the House democrats and
the Senate democrats and progressive
republicans, including the formulation
Of plans for a speedy adjournment.

Riotous Mobs in Liverpool Fur

the Unrest Is Very General.

Liverpool, Aug. 16.--Unless a.
railroad strike is averted, two
days more will find the bread
supply Of Liverpool exhausted.
Some restaurants already have
been closed because their man
ayers could not obtain sufficient
provisions. All the n~ecessaries
in food have advanced greatly
in price. Today the price of eggs
went up 8 cents a dozen and
butter made the same advance.
No steamers for America are
likely to sail from this port this

SHEARING Is ON

Forty Men Sweat and Hustle
Removing FIeeces at a
Fast Rate

To those who have never seen a
full equipped sheep shearing plant
in operation, it will be worth your
while to take a trip out to the
Hopley plant, and see how twenty
men daily remove the fleeces from
four thousand sheep. The Hopley
plant is machine equipped plant,
power being furnished by small
gasoline engine. While provision
is made for only twenty shears, it
REQUIRES from thirty five to forty
men to operate the plant, this in
cludes shearers, wranglers, wool
tiers and sackers. Shearing has
been in operation since June 18th
and we are informed by Frank
Nye, the hustling manager, that it
will continue for a week or ten
days longer. When it is taken in
to consideration that for every
minute during ten hours in the
day six and two-thirds sheep are
shorn of their profitable burden
and at present prices, the cliE
amounts to dearly $4,000 daily
1t will readily be seen that
shearing plant is no small institu
ton. Mr.. Nye expects to shea.
about 10000 before the seasol
closes. Conservative estimate
place this clip at $800,OOO. The
wool is being hauled to Harlowtol
and stored in the railroad WOO
warehouse, as very few of tn
wool growers will sell at tn
present price, which is abou
