Especial from United Press.)
 Rome, May 31-IH luck continued on the track of Roland Garros, the intre- pid aviator, today, when his machine fell near Civita Vecchia, about 50 miles north of here, and was badly damaged Garros was unhurt. He was attempting to reach Rome from Pisa, thus completing the second leg of the Paris-Turin $100.000 flight.
 As soon as news of the accident reached Nice, Alfred Le Blanc started with a new monoplane for Garros so that he could complete his flight. Gar ros is already out of the prize money, unless the other contestants waive the clause against flying in substituted machines.
 Frye, the German birdman, also met with an accident on alighting at Pisa. His machine struck a barrier and fell heavily. Frye's left eye was hurt and the machine damaged. It was reported that Frye also had fall 20 miles north of Pisa.
 Connau now looks like the most probable winner. He arrived at Genoa at o'clock this morning and started immediately for Pisa in a heavy wind.

CARING FOR HORSES
 Y. IN WARM WEATHER. Some Suggestions for. Men Who Have Them in Charge.

The Connecticut Humane Society has published a sheet with a few suggestions for the. treatment of horses in hot weather. These are the suggestions:
 Give extra and frequent rest on hot days.
 Feed lightly and rest we'll at noon- time.
 Rest your horse by removing har- ness and collar.
 Leave him standing in the shade, unless overloaded.
 Avoid overlooking with a fair load, work moderately.
 Tn travelling long distances, drive slowly.
 Water at short intervals and not to excess.
 If exhausted by heat, cool the head with ice.
 Give cool bath, a good bed and plenty of air at night.
 Keep bearing places of collar and harness clean.
 Remove friction from gals by cup ping the collar.
 Wash harness sores with cool wa ter and castillo soap.
 Avoid high checks, and check req sonably if at all.
 Protect your horse from torment in fy-time.
 Proper shoeing protects the feet from hot pavements.
 Apply wet clay or water compress to fore feet at night.
 Try the virtue of a bran mash or green grass weekly.
 Let the poorer horse of the team set the pace.
 Good care at night will make up for hard day.
 These humane suggestions are made in the interest of the horse, but do not forget that he is your property and the value of many horses is de- preciated by their treatment in hot weather.

 II a. m.-Price variations in American Tobacco securities were ot such character as to disturb trad ing all through the list. and resulted in concessions in prices in many is- sues.
 Government bonds unchanged; oth- CT bonds steady
 Noon.-Late in the forenoon, the tone became firmer with recoveries in all of the leading issues St. Paul was the only exception, it being off two points.

CHEATING THE DEAD.

To steal pennies from a dead mans eyes has been held for ages as the most contemptible form of thievery. But modern days have developed a meaner depth of larceny-the betrayal of trust whereby the poor bodies of the dead are defrauded of the few feet of earth to which they are entitled as a last resting-place. No walk of life is free of these plunderers, the rela- tives or heirs who succeed to comfort able fortunes being quite as apt to rob their dead benefactors as poor men are to run away and shirk responsi- bility.
 Mir. Smith-who is in this instance a composite person-was, fairly pros porous New York business man. His wife died in 1906. He mourned her with every indication of sincerity and had her body kept in the receiving vault of a high-priced cemetery near New York City for nearly a year. Then he learned of less expensive place farther away, and had the coffin re- moved to it. The bereaved man was so overcome with grief that he could not immediately select a burial plot. After six months he revisited the cern- etery and spent hours looking over the
