PLATFORMS NEGLECTED
Too Much Excitement In Chicago For
Trainers to Work,

Chicago, June 1S.-In the tense stu
alton between the rival political forces
nobody has much time to give to plat
form discussion. Senator Root and
others who had expected to put in
some work on the Taft platform were
all engaged elsewhere. This was true,
too, of the Roosevelt men.
Colonel Roosevelt has told the
trainers who are at work on his plat
form that he does not want that docu-
ment to contain an extensive review
of the record of the Republican party,
nor does he want any gloritication Of
himself in it and that it need not
mention his name"

Wright Filler, Instantly kiIled-New
Machine Was Being Given Tryout.
Lieutenant Leighton w. Hazelhurst,
Jr, an army aviator, and Al Welsh, a
professional flier, were dashed to
death at the army aviation grounds at
College Park, Md.
The Wright biplane which they
were testing had risen about thirty
feet and was going at a speed OF about
fifty miles an hour when it pitched
suddenly forward.
When spectators reached the scene
of the accident it was found that
both men were dead. Lieutenant
Hazelhurst's neck was broken and
Welshs skull was crushed. The ma
chine was badly shattered.
The cause of the accident is un.
known, though it is believed that some
OF the supporting wires between the
planes snapped suddenly and caused
it to plunge forward.
Aviator Welsh had been at College
Park for several days demonstrating
new Wright biplane to the army
aviators. Under the regulations tne
machine was required to meet ten
rigid tests. Nine of these require
ments had been successfully met and
Welsh with Lieutenant Hazelhurst as
his passenger was on the tenth test
when the machine collapsed and
pitched the men to the earth.
Lieutenant HaZelhurst was a new
man at the aviation school. He had
just learned to operate one of the
Wright machines and was considered
one of the brightest new pupils.

For genera uons the peerage rolls have marked a blank at the place where the Earl of Mon tieth should be named and to this title Is joined the rights to the earldoms of Airth and Strathearn. The Duke of Connaught now holds the earldom of Strathearn as one of his additional titles. Following the custom which has ruled for centuries his royal hghness received this extra badge of nobility because there was no- body to wear it. The earldom of Montleth 10 which 1t appended was then and is still vacant The last Earl of Montieth left two sisters but no children or rear male relatives. To one of these two sis- ters or her son or grandson the title was due and still Is due. But which sister gave priority nobody seems to be able to decide. One married Barclay-Alardyee and the other Sir William Graham Of Gartmore Several times descendants of both have tried to establish rival clAims. but in each instance they have been una -ble to solve the problem left open by the undecided ages of their great-grandmoth- CT or great-grand-aunt.

 With the return of tho Georgian period in England we are being blessed by a return of the Georgian with tabloid doses.
