driven by Marcel Tournier dropped
1000 feet and then turned turtle.
Neither aviator was hurt. but both had
narrow escapes.
Only one flight was made early In
the afternoon on account Of the high
wind. Tournier in his Newport sailed
above the grounds for fifteen minutes
and came down without as much as a
culver OF the machine. The wind set
tied somewhat late in the afternoon
and Robinson and Hournier started out
again.
Both were in the air at the same
time Robinson made beautiful flight
and perfect landing Tournier scared
about In his speedy machine making
one OF the prettiest flights that he has
made here, While at height OF 1000
feet his engine stopped The cause of

Not large crowd was watching the
flight. but those that were realized that
something was wrong. The machine
started down at terrific speed. Tour

aeroplane struck the ground in a vac

Cleveland streets.
When the machine struck the ground
1t was going at good clip It ran into

to flop up and over, making the ma

were nearby where Tournier dropped
and they rushed over to find whether
he was hurt
Tournier climbed from under the ma
chine and began wildly to gesticulate
with HIS hands. He does not speak
pie that nothing had been damaged and
that he was not hurt. The machine
was near a cucumber match and the
spectators t"amped on the vines.

Tournier could not understand what
was going on. so he took out his cigar

helpers arrived just in time to save
Tournier trouble by expla thing why
Tournier had refused to talk
Tournier had scarcely had his mishap

for a second time in the evening. 1t

About 100 yards distant 1t struck

momentum was not sufficient to hold

field The weight Of the machine forced
the front end down. but the speed was
not great enough to toss It over.

the people that he was all right and

HOW TO PACK EGGS.

A clean stone jar holding six to ten
gallons is the best vessel for packing
down eggs for family use, but tight
wooden firkin or other vessel will answer
very well. The eggs must be clean and
fresh. Dirty shells and cracked or
spoiled eggs will injure and possibly
spoil the entire lot.
Place the eggs in the jar as they are
gathered and cover with solution of
water glass (silicate of soda) one part
to 10 or Is parts of water. Cover the
lar to prevent evaporation. Water glass
IS an amber colored liquid which can be
of druggists or dealers is poul-
trv supplies. 1t cost about 25 cents per
quart, or less by the gallon.
Pure water should be used, rain water
if you can get it. The jar should be
placed in a cool cellar or room where 1t
will not freeze in winter. According to
Farm and Home, eggs preserved in this
way will keep in good condition eight or
nine months.

Secretary of State Knox returned
to Washington after two months
round of friendly calls on the republics
of Central America and the Caribbean.
Secretary Knox declined to comment
upon the results his mission might
have, except to make the single pre-
diction that the senate will ratify the
Nicara guam loan convention.
Mr. Knox paid his respects to the
senate in connection with the altera-
tions of the arbitration treaties by that
body since his departure. The secre-
tary declared that in view of the "ex-
treme care" which the senate took to
prevent any phase of the Monroe Doc
trine from ever being submitted to
arbitration, he felt more than ever
convinced of the logic and wisdom Of
the United States helping the weaker

RAILROADS AGREE

Accept Peace Proposal to Set

WILL ADJUST DIFFERENCES

]
Will Seek a Means For AmieabIe
Adjustment.
The threatened strike of the locomo-
} tive engineers Of the fifty railroads
east of Chicago and north of the Ohio
river has been averted, certainly for
! the present,
The offer of mediation made by Mar
tin A. Knapp, presiding judge OF the
| United States commerce court, and
| Charles P. Neill, United States COM
missioner of labor, was accepted by
the railroad managers in New York,
the presidents Of the railroads having
approved this action.
AS the engin eers, after having voted
to strike, agreed to the mediation
proposition on Monday night, this
means that the amicable adjustment
of the differences between the engi-
neers and the roads rests with the
federal representative who offered
their services. Should mediation fail,
there is still a chance for arbitra ion,
making the possibilities of a strike
even more remote.
Captain James c. Stuart, vice presi-
dent of the Erie railroad and chair
man of the conference committee Of
the railroads which has been nego-
tiating with the engineers since jan
uary, accep ed the offer of Judge
Knapp and Commissioner Neill in a
short note which was handed to Com
missioner Neill at the Hotel Manhat-
tain. Soon after that Chief w. S.
Stone and Deputy Chiefs Burgess AMI
Cadie called on Commissioner Neil,
who informed them officially that the
railroads had agreed to mediat on.
There had been some fear on the part
Of the leaders of the engineers that
the railroads would insist upon arbi-
tration or nothing.
According to the plans made, Com
missioner Neill will have a conference
with the conference committee of the
railroad managers. Later Comm s
sioner Neill and Judge Knapp will
meet Chief Stone and the advisory
committee of fifty chairmen. From the
railroad managers Mr. Neill will OBJ
tain a statement of what concess.On7
will be made 10 the men, if any, and
the engineers will make known the
terms they are willing to accept.
The railroad presidents and manag
ers, it is declared, believe they can
convince the arbitrators that they can
not advance the wages of the locomo-
tive engineers without giving ear to
appeals of other employees, and that
to pay the men more would neceszi
tate higher freight rates.
The Brotherhood has asserted itsI
confidence in Judke Knapp and Com
missioner Nein and credits them with
ability to settle the controversy hon
orably for both sides.
If President Taft has taken a per
sonal interest in the crisis he has re- |
mained in the background, delegatine I
the good Offices of the government to |
Judge Knapp and Commissioner Neill. |
The hand of politics has been suspect
ed, but the evidence thus far is lack !
