First Woman Aviator and Passenger
Dash 1000 Fl. into Dorchester Bay
Bodies Found Deep in Mud
Death Was Instantaneous,

Flying high over head at the time of
the fan was Miss Blanche Scott. an
other aviator taking part in the meet,
which had entered upon its second
day.
From her high altitude, Miss Scott
from her biplane had watched Miss
Quahy's splendid fight and was near
By when the gust upset the Mono
plane. In the excitement Of the mo-
ment no one noticed the lone flyer. but
when Miss Quimby's body was brought
ashore all eyes were directed aloft.
Miss Scott was seen, sweeping circles
over the field at n height of about 800
feet. Twice she started to descend but
each time she was seen to falter. In
another moment, summoning all her
nerve. she turned the nose of her ma
chine downward and landed safely,
collapsine in her seat before any one
could reach her.
In crossing the English channel. on
April It, Miss Quimby flew at an al
titude of COCO feet, which was believed
To be the record for women. Miss Quinn
by. today. said she felt sure she could
beat this mark.
Discussing the matter of coming
down in the water. if the engine should
fail on the flight over the harbor. Miss
Qniinby said 10 n friend just before she
left The ground:
a water landing is all right in a
Bleriot unless you come down head
first. In that ease. the heavy motor
at the extreme end of the machine
would drag the monoplane deep into
the water and sink It, But if we came
down pancake the broad wings would
float MS for two hours or more"
Then with a bright smile she made
this significant remark:
But | am a eat and don't like cold
water"
These were among the last words
Miss QuimbY said before leaving the
starting line on her last flight.
The mohoplane. painted pure white
darted at great speed over the harbor
The motor developed speed at times
of from Is TO 100 miles an hour An
examination of the aneroid barometer
after the fan showed that at times the
daring pilot had darted To height Of
5000 feet
The powerful Bleriot after being
freed of its two passengers glided off
gracefully into the wind and struck
the water on an even keel, about 200
feet from where the bodies of Miss
Quimby and Mr.. Willard were lying.

Pres. and Mrs. 7 aft Attend
The 23d Saengerfest
OF the Northeastern Saenger-
bund Societies Of Philadelphia.
Tremendous Gathering Give Their
Guests a Warm Greeting.

Philadelphia, July IA grand Fes-
tival concert participated in by the
thousands OF members of societies
constituting the Northeastern Saen-
gerbund. with President and Mrs.
Taft as the guests of honor, was the
browning event, tonight. on today's
program Of the card Saengerfest.s
When the President and Mrs. Taft
reached Broad street station at G
o'clock, they were greeted by a Ger
man song of welcome. sung by "A large
chorus.
AS the President and his wife en-
tered the vast auditorium erected ex-
pressly for the occasion, the chorus
of 5000 trained male voices. the pick
OF the leading German singing socie-
ties in the East sang "rhe Star
Spangled Banner" while the immense
audience remained standing
President Taft, IN his opening
Speech. said
Mrs. Taft and myself are here be-
cause we recognize the truly nation
al character of this association and
this meeting. We thank YOU fer your
beautiful rendition of our noble, pat
riotic anthem, The Star Spangled
Banner, and we rejoice in the loyalty
and love of country that manifest
themselves in this beautiful volume
of song as II comes from the thou
sends of practiced and cultivated
Threats Of those who pride themselves
on German descent or origin. but who
are equally proud Of their American
citizenship.
This meeting is fer the promotion Of
that art which perhaps contributes
more to the happiness and enjoyment
of life than any other--that is the art
of music The public taste which you
have cultivated in such associations
as this. and in Your presentation of
the compositions and songs of the
great masters have educated the pub
lie at large, and. what is even more
important have widened the means Of
making happiness"
President Taft referred to the fact
that while II was a characteristic OF
the early settlers OF this country. who
were principally English to take their
pleasures sadly. the German people
have for centuries had an advantage
over the English people in this re-
gard. In no way have they shown II
so much as through the instrumentali-
ty of their singing societies. The
spirit and motive of these societies
constitute that which is difficult TO
translate into English-1Gemuthli
keit." The pursuit of art by the many
with the unit Of the family, under con-
ditions in which good comradeship is
made the chief incident, is custom
that we have borrowed and this lib
eralising and broadening of our family
and social pleasure are due to the in
fiuence of these of our citizens who
continue and maintain in this country
the delightful customs of their father
land.

Cold MOlasSes.

Sea Girt, n. j.. July 1.-"They are
coming as slowly as cold molasses, -
was Gov. Wilson's comment, today,
upon his gain in strength at Baltimore.
But at that we are doing better than
we did, last week. During the week We
gained SO votes; to-day, alone, up to
the present, we have gained II. The
Wilson lines are holding solid; the
gain is very satisfactory"
Gov. Wilson was in good humor all
day while watching a baseball. game
which the newspaper men played on
his lawn. He remarked that one of the
plays reminded him of "Roosevelts at
tempt to steal third" To the reporters
who besought an expression of his
opinion on the situation the Governor
declared that the only thing he could
say was that he was making "a riot OF
silence"
During the Afternoon he sent tele-
gram of encouragement to his New
Jersey followers at the convention.
Once during the day he conferred by
telephone with William f. McComb
his campaign manager at Baltimore.
But for these the Governor was out of
touch with and apparently little con-
cerned in the details of the fight in
which he was playing a prominent
part

DEADLOCK CONTINUES.


Baltimore, July 1.-The deadlock in
the Democratic National convention
over a Presidential nominee seemed
more complete than ever when ad-
jGurnment WAS taken at 12.42 A. M,
until noon, today. Woodrow Wilson
had made steady gains during Mon
days halioting until he reached n
high water mark of 501i5 votes on
the 18th ballot lie remained station
airy on the 10th ballot and then be-
gan to lose ground. The last ballot
WAS the 42nd when Gov. Wilson poll
ed 494 votes.
Speaker Champ Clark reached the
lowest ebb of his, candidacy on the
ballot where Wilson reached a crest.
He went down to Az votes at that
time. but Immediately began To pick
up and had gone to 430, when adj
iournment was taken. The Speaker
came over to Baltimore during the
evening and was a guest at the home
of Mayor Preston. near Convention

shortly before midnight.

501is remained the same and Clark
gained a single vote leaving him ~.
Meantime the vote for Oscar ". Tn

BY the time the 10th ballot had been
concluded there was seemingly no
hope Of nomination, tonight. The
delegates sat in a sort of stupor. The
roll cali clerks entered the vote me-
chemically. often without waiting for
the responses from the various states.

but when roll call on the motion
was demanded by the Wilson forces
he withdrew it. Another attempt was
made TO adjourn after the list ballot

If you have trouble with constipa-
ton or biliousness, be careful how
you take calomel, because calomel is
a form of mercury, and if mercury
remains in the system very long, it
will salivate and seriously injure the

If you need something to start the
liver to working take Dodson's Liver

ATLANTA SOON

MANY PUBLIC UTILITIES IN THET

INVESTIGATED.

atlanta, April Atlanta has de-

ais lLcuCr, not to mention recent
sa1ron Journalism, the city bristles
with sudden desire, apparently, to
STICK a knife into big corporations.
Not long ago newspapers which were
. Supposed to represent the popular
voice, jumped with both feet, or
rather with three pairs of feet, onto
the local street railway. Cheaper
lights, cheaper car fare and cheaper
power were demanded all at once.
1t is amusing to note how morn
ing paper has changed it's tactics.
When the railroad commission refused
to approve the big bond issue of the
Georgia Railway and Power company
this newspaper came out editoriaAy
and said in effect that the commit
sion did wrong. The commission
faced about and approved the merger.
The newspaper thereupon editorially
patted the body on the back.
i'm the approval OIL the COuullS-
sion, the power company set about
to make improvements. Thousands
of dollars are being spent in North
Georgia on tower lines and develop
ment of power, and it is stated that
the payroll of the company is $780,
600 per month. Just when all this
extensive improvement is put under
way along comes the concerted howl
for cheaper lights, power and car
fare aEsB EsS9SNSk
Apparently it was the street rail-
ways intention, in connection with
the power development, to reduce its
rates on light and power, but as city
council took it on itself to raise the
issue without ever consulting the
power company at all, the fight was
allowed to continue. After the pop
ular excitement had subsidized the
power company officials voluntarily
made concessions; in fact, according
to a table of rates printed in one
of the local newspapers, Atlanta now
heads list of 50 representative cities
of the country in cheap power ana

City council seemed pleased with
the concessions and at once approved
them, that is to say, all except one

Bowels are Basis
Of Child Health

The careful mother, who watches
closely the physical peculiarities of her
children, will soon discover that the
most important thing in connection with
a chiSd's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
title, restlessness during sleep, irrita-
bility and dozen and one similar evil
dences of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child a teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night if
necessary-more than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover it's accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally
