Chicago, Aug. 1.-two avtators,
William r. Badger, of Pittsburg and
st. Crioix Johnstone, of Chicago,
young men, were killed at the interna-
tional aviation meet here today, death
in both cases being due to unexplained
accidents, probably the result of un-
suspected defects in the mechanicism
of the machinery and in no way were
caused by carelessness and lack of re-
sponsibility by the drivers.
Badger, who was wealthy, careened
to his death in a pit IN the aviation
field A flaw in one of the wings of
the propeller of the Baldwin machine
which he drove broke and upset the
delicate equilibrium OF the machine.
Badger dashed one hundred feet to the
bottom Of the pit and his neck was
broken
tombstone fell five hundred feet un-
der his engine and was drowned as a
result He was caught under the
heavy engine In the Moisant mono
plane and carried down deep into the
waters of Lake Michigan. The body
was not brought to the surface until
an hour later.
Badger lived three-quarters of an
hour after being extricated from the
remains Of the engine, but never re-
covered consciousness and died as soon
as he reached the hospital Badger
formerly drove automobiles as an anna
teur at Daytona and Palm Beach. He
was an intimate friend of Lewis
Strang, who was killed a month ago.
Johnstone's fall was witnessed by
his wife, although II was half an hour
before she knew he was dead.
A warping strand in the Moisant
monoplane broke and the wings Of the
machine crumpled like paper. The
machine was hurled into the lake and
the heavy engine and tangled wires
dragging Johnstone to his death Like
Badger. Johnstone few as an anna
teur.
.sInhnstona. was 2e years old. He
learned aviation in France at The
Drexel school and from France he
went to Havana and was the first one
to ny over that city. He gained a
record when he was the first to ny
around the wreck of the battleship
Maine He returned to the United
States in the spring and was engaged
by Alfred Moisant. Since then he
had been with the group OF French
aviators.

LITTLE CHANGE IN THE
LONDON STRIKE SITUATION
BY Associates Press.

London, Aug. 15.-There was little
change In the strike situation at Lon
don today A few more dock lsborers
returned to work and the carriers em-
pioyed by one Of tse big railway lines
resumed their dutifs- The settlement
made with these men was not perma-
nent and resumption of the strike,
principally on the docks, was possible
at any moment.
The grievances of the men are not
serious compared with those upon
which they received concessions from
their employees, but the men felt that
the moment was opportune to get
everything they wanted.
The number of railway strikers
throughout the country increased to-
day and in some places the passenger
service was disorganized.
Premier Asquith today held a con-
ference at his office with other min
sters and labor leaders when the whole
question was discussed.
The home secretary is charged with
excessive fiabbiness" in dealing with
the dislocation of trade by reason of
his fear of offending political sup
porters.
1t is even asserted, without contra
dictfon, that the postoffice officials
were obliged to get a permit from the
strikers to move the postal vans. The
London water works authorities also
had to obtain similar permits in or
der to obtain a coal supply and so
avert a water famine.
Today's sailing of the White Star
steamer Zealand from Liverpool for
Boston was cancelled. The Atlantic
transport steamer Minnewaska, which
should have sailed from London for
New York, last Saturday, expects to
get away tomorrow.
The strike committee late last night
sent a telegram to the Seamen's Union
branch at Fishguard instructing it's
members not to touch the Lusitania's s
cargo or the passengers baggage. AS
the telegraph office at Fishguard closes
at o'clock. the message was not de-
livered until this morning. In the
meantime the passengers had disem-
barked and a part of the freight had
been landed from the Cunarder which
docked last night.

is believed in Picking, means that
Chang Sha has ,joined the revolt.
Foreigners whose business it is to
study character think the northern
provinces, which are not deeply at
fected by sedition, may rally around
the Manchus. Everything, however,
seems to depend on an immediate
and successful advance by Minister
Of War Yin Tchang, who now COM
mands 10000 men within 100 miles
Of Hankow; but only the foreign
ministry pretends to enjoy confl-

ready Yin Tchang is issuing procla-
nations offering pardons to all who
desert the rebel standard. and It is
said he will rely on proclamations
and negotiations, fearing Of being
unable to move his army.
