Aviator ParmaIee Falls to Death.

North Yakima, Wash.-With smile
and a wave of his hand to the thou
sands who watched him. Philip o.
Parmalee, one of the Wright aviators.

west wind here, and three minutes
later his broken and lifeless body was
dragged from beneath the wreckage of
his biplane in an apple orchard in the
lower end of the Mckee valley, two
miles from his starting point.

The body of the aviator was
dragged from beneath the wreckage of

working in the orchard, but his skull
was fractured, and he must have died
instantly.

self the other afternoon against the
charges of an oiler Of the Firemen's
union that he did not know how to
cook. The last argument OF men OF
the sea, coastwise or otherwise, Is
scrap, and the oiler and the fireman
had 1t. The cook got the worst Of II
and the skipper Of the Brazos decided
to leave the fireman behind.
The fireman appealed to his union,
and all hands on three ships under
the same management. the Brazos. the
Comanche and the Comal. decided to
back up the aggressive fireman. They
said tho cooks had not been treating
any of them properly anyhow.
The Comanche was the only ship
that got out of dock at the foot OF
Spring street with all her force OF
eighteen firemen. They refused, how
ever to work until they received as
surances that the oiler would be TAX

meeting of business men for the con-
struction of one of the most gigantic
irrigation projects in the world.

Chihuahua. Mexico.-Devoid of an
munition and money. the Mexican
rebels, gathered in northern Mexico
are confronted with the most critical
situation they have encountered since
the revolution began.
II the rebel chiefs can delay the
expected battle at Bachimba, south OF
here, for at least two weeks, check
ing the advance of General Huerta's
federal forces by destroying the rail
road in front of him, and harassing
his rear, they may be able to concen
trate enough strength to deal for
midable blow to the government.
Failing, however, to get money and
arms, the Liberal chiefs fear disaffec
tion among the men and disorganiza
tion.
The money situation is by far the
most serious, and foreign residents
have fled, taking large sums with
them. Only about thirty Americans
remain here, and hardly any women
or children. Most of the other for
eign families have left.
The Liberals believe there is money
enough in the city to supply the needs
of the campaign, and the local bnsi-
ness men place a conservative esti-
mate on the amount of money actually
left here as less than 100000 gold.
The rebels have resorted to desper-
ate means to obtain money, and this
more than the fear of an expected at
tack from the federal cavalry OF Cen
erals Villa and Rabago. who were re-
ported to be making a detour over
land from Parral, has caused the ex-
Odus from here.
At one store $4,000 worth of sup

sent to the front with a rifle to com

at the front was sufficient for Olvares
as he telegraphed the order for deliv-
cry.
The rebels say he will lose nothing.
however, as they discovered that Felix
Diaz and Miguel Dominguez. both
strong government sympathizers, had
$25.OOO worth of credit in the store,
and the Liberal chiefs are chuckling
over the fact that they rudely confis-
Gated the credit of the two Nader
istas.
Saloons and gambling houses have
been closed, as in the last few days

who had volunteered to arbitrate the
trouble. A tug with Marine Superin
tendent Rockwell went down to the
Comanche. whose firemen had an in.
dependent grievance against cook on
their ship, and there was an earnest
talk between the union representa-.
tives, Mr.. Rockwell, the skipper of the
ship, and the aggrieved fremen. Mr.
Raymond wanted to get the three
boats away, with their passengers and
freight, and finally did after they had
been held up more than four hours.
The oiler was taken back pending
investigation of the case against the
cook. The cooks union will make an
effort to adjust its troubles with the
firemen's union meanwhile.
