live Wire KILLS
ll-YEAR OLD boy
Frank Parmenter Dies on Way to the
Hospital.

Des Moines, Oct 26.-Contact
with live wire proved fatal fol-
Frank Parmenter, II years old. OF
1900 Walker street last night. The
boy died in the police automobile on
the way to Mercy hospital, where
he was being taken by police sur
geons who were called. The accident
happened at Fifteenth and Walker
streets
Young Parmenter, who is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. C. H. Parmenter,
was climbing the telephone pole. He
had made his way up the pole some
distance when he touched a live
wire. The boy was burned and the
shock threw him to the ground. He
sustained a fractured skull which
the surgeons believe caused his
death.
The lad had been confined until
recently in the Industrial school at
Eldora, and few days ago made his
escape from that institution. He
made his way to Des Moines and was
playing last night when the acct
dent happened which resulted in his
death.

Conservatives and Liberals Fight
Pitched Battle in the Streets
of Havana.
WHOLE ISLAND IS AFLAME
When Police Charge Rioters, They
Turn Fire on 0ficers-stores
and Cafes Riddled by Bullets.

Havana, Oct. GA brisk battle
between conservatives and liberals,
during which several hundred shots
were fired and several people killed
or wounded, broke out after mid
night in Central park, in the heart
Of the city at the close of a meeting
of supporters of Vice President AL
fredo Zayas, who is a candidate for
the presidency.
The meeting was conducted peace
fully until the last speaker assembled
the platform, when several shots
were fired, apparently by a group of
conservatives gathered in front of a
hotel Instantly the crowd began to
dispense and the fusilade became
general, extending across the park
and down the parade. For 10 min
utes the firing was brisk.
Strong forces of mounted police
and cavalry charged repeatedly with
drawn machetes and firing revolv-
ers. The mob returned the fire.
A crowd Of adherents of Zayas
halted in front of the Asbert club,
firing volleys at the windows, the
shots being returned from the bal
comics of the club, by the supporters
of General Asbert, the conservative
candidate for the governorship OF
Havana.
Here occurred the hottest fight
ing. Several policemen's horses were
shot under them. A number of shots
struck the American club opposite
the Asbert club.
Reinforcements OF police, rural
guards and soldiers arrived and the
mob, which was then composed of
adhe7ents of both parties, was driven
from the park and gradually dispers-
ed. Afterwards the park was occu-
pied by a strong force of cavalry.
The total wounded, including two
women, was about 40, of whom sew
eral were fatally hurt.
The fronts of the stores and cafes
facing the park were riddTed With
bullets

MceRATH SUES FOR $4,000

Council Bluffs, Oct. 26.-Charg-
ing that the bank knew of and. was
in conspiracy with the swindles
which J. c. Mabray and his associ-
ates were engaged in, James E. Nc
Grath yesterday afternoon filed suit
In the district court here against
the First Nationals bank of Council
Bluffs for $4,000, alleging that he
has received none of the proceeds of
q $4,000 draft payable to him. He
alleges 1t was lost in connection with
the Maybray swindles five years ago.
Officials of the bank deny the al
legations, however, emphatically as
sorting that at no time was the bank
connected with the swindles perpe-
trated BY the Maybray gang during
the years of its operations in Coun-
Gil Bluffs.
The petition alleges that on Oct.
4, 1907, William H. McGrath pur-
chased from the bank for the use of
the plaintiff and made payable to
him, a draft for $4,000. After de-
livery of the draft to the plaintiff,
the petition continues, the bank OBJ
tanned possession of the draft and
refused to deliver it to the plaintiff,
though demand has been made for
its payment, The bank represented
to McGrath. according to the allie
cation of the petition, that the pro-
ceeds of the draft were paid to some
other person. If this payment was
made, it is declared it was fraudu-

 new method of felllng trees by the friction of steel wire, which is able to work It's way through a 2o- Inch tree in about six minutes, is put ting the axmen out of business in the forests of Germany.
 The wire Is drawn rapidly about the tree, and the heat generated by the friction Is sufficient to burn a. thin carbonized kerf. which is both smoother and cleaner than the cut of saw The charcoal layer adhering to the trunk Is extremely thin and allows the struc- ture and any disease of the wood to be distinctly recognized
 It enables the tree to be marked with chalk. and at the same time serves to preserve any trunks that may be left temporarily in the woods There are many advantages In this method, notably on waste, decreased labor, ab- sence of all apparatus usually required. and the machine can be used in close quarters not sufficient for man chop pers. one Is struck on looking over piece of woodland in this vicinity at the waste in stumpaee left by the wood choppers.

b|G ADVANCE IN
 COTTON MARKET All New Crop Deliveries Sell Above 13 Cent
 Level

New Yorld July 27.--There was a big advance in tho cotton market this morn- Ing and all new crop deliveries sold above the 13 cent level for the first time this season. The close was firm at a net gain of from g to 3e points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of ' to ls points in response to higher cables than expected, unfavorable crop news from the southwest, continued talk of bullish government report next Fri day, favorable reviews of tho dry goods situation, covering of shorts and broad ening outside demand.
 Realizing was extremely heavy, with old bulls evidently reducing their lines very freely, and there were rumors that some of the larger Wall street operators were closing out holdings that showed sensational profits.
 These offerings were heavy enough to cause slight reaction from time to timo, but the rush of fresh buying orders and the urgency of the demand from shorts imparted generally upward tendency.
 The close was at the best point of the day. october contracts sold at 13.0Sc UT 5o points dDONe the closing figures or yesterday. and about, 75 points above the low level of the week.
 New Orleans, as well as other southern points, was a heavy buyer here, with all the big wire and commission houses heavy traders, and with general business more active than at any time since the market first crossed the 12 cent level. A report from one of the most prominent travelling experts that the Texas crop had taken a decided turn for the worse combined with reports that conditions in the Carolinas were worse several points for the month, and the outlook for con- tinued dry weather in the southwest appeared to be the most prominent fac tors on the advance, which was said to- reflect a renewed crop scare and appre- hension that the crop was In danger of losing more ground fin the southwest than it had recovered as a result of clearing weather in the eastern belt.
 Receipts of cotton at all ports today 762 bales, against 1907 last week. and 7s6 last year. Todays receipts at Galveston 24s bales against 504 last year; at New Orleans 263. against 122 last year and at Houston, l35 against 1560 last year.

A Mania for Palaces
Ie London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 The discovery of an intruder at Mari- borough House Is reminiscent of the ad- ventures of "the boy Jones' in the early years of Queen Victorias reign. Tn December, 1s40. he gained access to Buckingham Palace and secreted him. self there for several days. He was detected by the Princess Royals nurse and was handed over to the police.
 The Privy Council examined him. but did not think there was any cause for alarm, and he was sentenced to three months Imprisonment a rogue and vagabond. But no sooner was he at liberty than he made two other att tempts to enter the palace On the last occasion the magistrate gave him the chance of enlisting in the navy, where he was speedily cured of the mania for acquiring a royal domicile.

TRADING IS EVEN
 DUL[ER THAN USUAL Changes in Speculative Is- sues Unimportant-Amer-
 ican Tobacco Weak

New York, July 27.-Today's stock market was in all respects typical of midsummer week-ends, except that trading was even duller and of a more routine character than usual. There was less than the usual evening up or settlement of contracts entered into earlier in the week.
 Such trend as the list manifested at odd intervals were mainly in the dlrec- ton of lower prices, but changes in the speculative issues were unimpor- tant, while some of the specialties moved characteristically in contrary ways. American Tobacco was the weak est of the group, with heaviness in National Biscuit, Bethlehem Steel, com mon and preferred, and some less prom inent stocks. Among the standard rail- way shares, Great Northern and North ern Pacific alone showed underlying strength. Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Reading reflected lack of de- mand, similar condition applying to steel, with some further uncertainty in General Electric.
 News of the day was without marked influence on-securities values. Cables told of a more hopeful feeling in Lon don, which, however, seemed chary of our securities. Local money brokers reported an increased demand, and as result the cash supply was low. The bank statement showed an actual in- crease of loans approximately $7,000,000, with cash gain slightly under S3,000,- poo and a nominal increase of the re- Serves, which In the average table in- creased over s3,000,000.
