GAVE PERMISSION TO SHOOT.
Death-Companion Who Fired Fatal
Shot Arrested.

II gave him permission to shoot me-"
wrote out Lewis Dion, aged IL, in a
boyish scrawl on a piece of paper in
Lawrence, Mass, Sunday, then stood
up before Henry Talbot, aged y, who
shot him dead through the heart.
The shooting was the result of a boy s
pride in his new 22-calibre rifle and a
dare from a companion who didn't be-
lieve it could kill anything"
The rifle belonged to the Talbot boy,
who with, Henry White, II years old, was
shooting with it from the window of
the Talbot boys home. Young Dion came
along and remarked that his brother
had similar rifle and that it was mo
good"
"Give me written permission to shoot
you and I'll show you whether it is any
good or not" the Talbot lad is alleged
to have said. Dion wrote out the per-
mission on a slip of paper. Immediately
there was a shot from the rifle and Dion
fell dead
Talbot and White were arrested by
the police charged with manslaughter.

sons house being on fire. The flames had
gained such Roadway before being dis

and did not arrive home until the house

FLYING MACHINE FAILED
Two More Valuable Lives Sacrificed I'm
the Interest Of Aviation

Washington, Sept. 29.-Two more
lives were sacrificed to aviation at the
United States army aviation field. COL
lege Park, Md, near here. late yester-
day when an army aeroplane sudden
ly fell thirty-five feet TO the ground,
instantly killing CorpL Frank Scott
and SO seriously injuring Second Lieu
tenant Lewis C. Rockwell that he died
a few hours later. Hundreds of people,
including fellow army officers attach
ed to the aviation school, breathlessly
witnessed the tragic incident. When
they reached the scene Corpl. Scott
was found dead several feet from the
wrecked machine, while Lieut.. Rock
well was nearby, fatally injured and
unconscious. He was rushed to the
Walter Reed army hospital. where he
died without regaining consciousness.
Lieut.. Rockwell had started to make
a test flight in his trial for a military
aviatOr's license. They had been in
the air about eight minutes, ascend
ing to hight of 500 feet, then gliding
down.
They were about thirty-five feet
above the ground. At this point the
aviator turned the machine upward
a gain and something went wrong. In
the aeroplane buckled and
crashed to the ground, being reduced
to a heap of wreckage. Scott was
hurled several feet from the machine,
while Rockwell lay few feet away
from him.

LIFTED OFF THE LID
Box Holders of WaycrOss Have Sue
ceeded In Raising the Sunday
Regulation Ban

Waycross, Ga, Sept. 29.-Today the
holders of boxes in the Waycross
postoffice will get their mail asusual
through an order issued last week by
the postmaster general at the request
of numerous box holders and the rec
ommendation of the local postma ster.
Travelling men who make this city
their headquarters were greatly incOn-
venienced by not getting their mail
on Sunday, and the board of trade took
the matter up with the postma ster
with the result that the lid is off.
1t appears from the instructions re-
ceived here that the term general
public" in the order that closed the
boxes at first was not meant to in
clude box holders at all, as they were
not looked upon as the general public.
Explaining this distinction, the infor-
nation is that the mail matter is dis
tributed to receptacles and not to indi-
viduals.
When the Sunday lid was clamped on
some of the large state papers estab-
lished offices of their own in Waycross
and the Sunday papers were delivered
almost as we'll as when handled in the
postoffice. With the lid off it is quite
probable that the sub offices" opened
by the newspapers will be closed

Atlanta Sporting Man Took the Lead
I'm Providing for the City's
Fallen Women

Atlanta, Sept. 2S.-The police war
upon vice assumed some interesting
phases yesterday. chief among which
was the statement of Charles C Jones,
a well known sporting man. and own
er of four of the houses in the re-
stricted district. Jones has told the
women occupying his houses that they
may remain in them as long as they
wish without paying rent, and IL they
need food he will furnish 1t. so long as
they do not violate the law.
He has offered one of the houses to
the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment" for the purpose Of opening a
mission. and they will probably accept
it. In addition to this Jones stated
that he had in his possession a list OF
1S6 houses of immoral character, many
of which are upon prominent residence
streets even including Peachtree, and
the names OF the women who frequent
them. He declined to furnish this
list to the police, although he ex-
hibited IL for inspection. He says the
police can find them IL they want to.

HADLEY ON A TALL HORSE
The Governor of Missouri Has Issued
an UItimatum to President
Taft

st. Louis, Sept. 29.-Gov. Herbert s
Hadley, after an all-day wrangle with
the republican state committee, issued
an ultimatum last night that the only
condition upon which he would support
President Taft was that the president
should Immediately declare himself for
presidential preference primaries and
non-boss controlled delegations from
southern states to national conventions
to prevent in future conventions
charges of fraud such as arose in the
recent republican national convention
at Chicago.
The ultimatum of Gov. Hadley was
delivered to a subcommittee of the
state committee, which waited upon
him, with authority to cancel his in
vitation to speak at the republican
campaign opening here unless he was
willing to pledge the committee in ad-
vance that he would declare for Taft
in the opening sentence of his speech.

THEY NEED TELLING
Many of the Young Men Have Forgot
ten the Days of the White
Mans Burden
(Palatka NewS)

Now that the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee has decided upon a
speaking campaign of the state it may
not be out of place to suggest that the
speakers be selected with a view to
their ability to present democratic
truths as they apply to Florida and
other southern states. Chairman
Fearnside is not an old man, but he
can go back to the days when Florida
was in the political control of the re-
publican party and when a large num-
ber of the various county officials
were negroes. He knows something of
the struggle for white supremacy: he
has a vivid recollection Of what mixed
negro and white republican rule
meant. The democratic party in Flor
ida stands for the rule of the people
the white people-and its banner is
one under which any self-respecting
white man can march with his head
erect. Not so with the local republican
party or that new ism called socialism.
The young men of Florida need to be
told these facts. They need to be
terated and reiterated, lest we for
get-lest we forget" They need to be
told that the late, state republican
convention which met in this city in
February was presided over by ne
gro and that two-thirds of its dele
gates were negroes. They need to be
told that the socialists also stand for
the political equality of the races:
that the democratic party alone stands
for a white mans rule in Florida Not
that the democratic party is putting
any stumbling blocks in the way Of
the free exercise of the franchise by
the negro. but that it does interdict
him from participation in democratic
primaries by law. The Florida ballot
is an open one; 1t gives no favor to one
party above another: it approaches
nearer to the Australian system than
any other state in the federal Union.
The democratic party gave the people
this ballot. Its party organization is
limited in its participating member
ship to people of Caucasian race and
the paramount plank in its platform is
white supremacy in Florida. We need
to keep this old and winning slogan
in the foreground of our talks, and
especially at this time when the "other
fellows" are flirting for negro support

Chicago, Sept. 29.-The high cost of
living has come to stay, according to
Prof Eugene Davenport, dean and d.
rector of the agricultural college, Uni
versity of Illinois, who spoke yester-
day at the national vocational art and
Industrial congress.
''The day of cheap living is over,
owing to the great advance in the life
of the country" said Prof Davenport
THE farmer is the last man to be af-
fected by high prices in the cost of
living, and the last man to be interest
ed. He looks to his personal interests
first and gives small heed to other in
dustrial pursuits. Great harm is be-
ing done by this irrational cry of
back to the farm

Atlanta, Sept 29.-Gov. Woodrow
Wilson was charged by Col Roosevelt
here last night with making state
ments in regard to his position which
were mot merely an untruth but the
direct reverse of the truth"
Speaking before a large crowd here
the ex-president took up recent state
ments of the democratic candidate and
denied them fatty. He said that Gov
Wilson did not believe some of these
things and knew that Col Roosevelt
had never said them.
Col. Roosevelt spent the day in

steadily until the day was almost gone
he was received at the larger places
by crowds which cheered him as the
