WIND WRECKS AEROPLANE
Tow Line Breaks and Machine Sunashem
 Against Rocks In New York.
 Aviator Saved. .,

Paul Schill had his hydro aeroplane wrecked at City Island. N. r, as 1t was being lowed out into the sound by u motorboat. The tow line broke, and the high wind and rough water drove the machine against q rock, smashing the tail and the tips of the planes.
 Intending to make fight around City Island, Schill had the hydro aero plane lowed out some ways from shore before rising from the water. With fairly stiff wind the hydroaeroplane was harder to tow than had been ex- pected. About 200 feet out. the tow line snapped.
 The wind caught the machine before Schill could get his engine working. With the tide the wind flung 1t against the rock. damaging it badly. Schill went into the water, but was pulled out by the motorboat which had been towing theahydro aeroplane.

ADVERTISEMENTS BODY
 FOUND ON R. R. TRACKS
R C. WICkIitte Of Louisiana
 Killed by Train.

Representative Robert c. Wickliffe of Louisiana met tragic death at Washington. His badly crushed body was found on the railroad tracks in Potomac park near the entrance to the bridge across the Potomac river. It Is presumed that he was either knocked off or fell from an express train bound for the south.
 Robert c. Wickiffe. Democratic. rep- resentative in congress from the Sixth Louisiana district, was born at Bards- town, Ky, on May l, 1874, while his parents, who lived in West Feliciana parish, Louisiana, were on visit to that state. He was educated in the public schools of St. Francisville and Center college, Danville Ky, and Tu- lane university, graduating in 1897.
 He began the practice of law fin St. Francisville and in 1898 represented his parish in the Louisiana constitu. ional convention. On the adjournment of that body, in May, 1898, he enlisted as a private in Company E. First Lou isiana volunteer infantry, and served through the war with Spain. In 1900 he was elected a district attorney, and in 1908 he was elected to represent the Sixth district in congress. He was re- elected to the present congress.

TWO AVIATORS KILLED.
Lieutenant L. w. Hazslhurst of Army and Al Welsh, Professional Filler,
 Are Dashed to Death.

Lieutenant Leighton w. Hazelhurst, an army aviator, and Al Welsh, a pro- fessional fter, were dashed to instant death 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 1t pitched suddenly forward. When spectators reached the scene of the accident 1t was found that both men were dead. Lieutenant Hazel hurst's neck was broken and Welsh's skull was crushed. The machine 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. ..
 Immediately following the accident
 Lieutenant Hazelhurst and Welsh were placed in an automobile and rushed to the Walter Reed General hospital, but death had been immediate. The death of Lieutenant Hazelhurst Is the third that has occurred among the army aviators. Lieutenant Thomas O. Selfridge was killed at Fort Myer In a Wright biplane in September, 1908, and Lieutenant John Kelly was killed at San Antonio, Tex, in March, 1911.

 Taft Has About One Hundred of Con
 tested Delegates Given to Him by
 Committee.
 Colonel Roosevelt keeps on losing in the contests before the Republican national committee. He "got his bumps" in Kentucky, as in Indiana. Alabama and Florida. The four Ken lucky Taft delegates at large were seated on the temporary roll by a vote of 38 to II, there being four absentees. The Roosevelt men contested two of the four and lost.
 The delegates In the First district were unanimously given to Taft, The Roosevelt contests in the districts seemed to collapse with hardly n show of fight The delegates in the other contested districts went the same way.
 In the Fourth district contest the Roosevelt men abandoned the contest entirely, and the Taft men were seated without vote.
 Taft has now about 100 of the con. tested delegates given to him by the committee. At this rate his managers claim he will have such a large ma. jority that his nomination on the first ballot Is positively assured. The Roosevelt men will admit nothing of the kind, although they haven't won a single contest.

NOMINATION OF sTRAuS.

In nominating Mir. oscar $. Sraus for the governorship yesterd,y. at Syracuse. the new party did d great days work.
 As diplomatist, international jurist. cabinet officer. man of business-and over and above all as a Humanitarian and citizen of the widest social sym pathy-Air. Straus Is in all respects a man of whom the city and state have reason to be proud.
 Ills personality suggests a standard of citizenship that is above race. sect and party. People are bound to think of him as q man who really cares very much for human beings and for the public welfare and as one who has ample abilities to back the interests oi his heart.
 The new party will gain credit not only from the character of the mar that heads the state ticket but also because of the manner of his nomina ton.
 He Is not only better man for the place than any that had been named in advance. he Is the best that could have been put forward. His nomina ton came unexpectedly. spontaneous ly. and, evidently. without promise or pledge-out of a convention that was free and open In its deliberations to | very remarkable degree.
 Mir. Straus achievements in the past are of kind that will reassure people as to the worth of his services if he should be made governor.
 At intervals during the last guar ;er of century. and under three different administrations. he has been our dip lomatic representative in Turkey. Tie has done solid service for civilizatoir at that post. He established the rights of Christian missionaries and opened the way for western education in the Turkish domain.

THE DEATH PENALTY.

Alaska seems to have practicalI! abolished the death penalty. or sew eral men recently found guilty oi murder not one has been sentenced tI death and some of these murders were of the most brutal and premeditated kind. Perovich on the Panama river murdered his partner and burned the cabin In which the body lay. Recent ly Cooper committed an act of re- markedly similar kind in the same district. and one Is tempted 10 believe that If Peroyieh had been hanged Cooper might never have murdered Wimbish. of course. the two mur- ders may have no connection what ever, but the similarity of the two recalls the old problem of whether the saving of the life of a murderer does not often result in the deaths o: innocent people. The death penalty as a punishment for a particular crime Is stupid thing in Itself unless 1t acts as a deterrent on others mur- derously inclined.
 The death penalty was practically abolished in France some time ago but 1t was found that soon afterwarl murders increased. particularly in Paris, and the people asked for capi- tai punishment once again.
 At least in that country 1t seemed as if lives could only be saved by the taking of lives.
 Most people in all countries would like 10 think that the brutality of legally killing human being could be avoided but the death penalty still remains in most countries. and ex- perience must show that il Is neces- ssry.

Canada Earns

Canadian oarsmen once more demon
strated their superiority over those OF the

held under tho auspices Of tho National
Association Of Amateur Oarsmen at
Peoria, H., on August Z and s. OF ten
races rowcd the stalWart men from
across the border captured eight. These
victories included all the more important
races. Edward Is. Butler, OF the Argo-
naut Rowing club. of Toronto. repeated
his triumph of 1911 on Saratoga Lake by
winning both senior SOULS championships
at one mile and a quarter and also the
quarter-mile dash.
The Winnipeg Boat Club swept all be-
fore IT in the crew races winning the
senior eight-oared shells. the senior four
cared shells and the senior international
four-oar shells. The Winnipeg boys
did not stop there. for they also won the
Intermediate single SOULS. the intermc-
diatc double souls and the association

and Canoe club, of Grand Rapids, Mich.
saved something for this country by win
ming the intermediate four-oared shells.
The intermediate eight-oared crew of the
Duluth Boat club established new
worlds record in this race by rowing the
full mile and a quarter I'm 8 minutes 10
seconds, breaking the old record by 3 is
seconds
Rowing was at low ebb in this dis
trict. The clubs of the Harlem River have
never recovered from the effect of the
fire which RACED four of the houses in
the spring of 1911. only two of which have
been rebuilt. Thus, the regattas held on
the waters about New York have been
scarcely worth the while. Lack of inter
est. however. Is not the only handicap
under which the sport labors. There is
not a good course for rowing I'm the city.
The Hudson River Is too rough for the
frail Shells the course at Long Beach is
far away and the course At Flushing Bay
is almost impossible because of the water
conditions The Harlem River, while
smooth, hardly meets the requirements.

The year marked tho passing of Fred
Fuessel and the mighty Fred Shepherd,
