KILLED IN AIR CONTEST.
Mason and Fisher Killed at Brook
lands.

London. May 13.-Victor Louis
Mason, an American identified with
extensive mining interests and at one
time private secretary to the Ameri-
can sectary of war, Gen. r. A. Alger
and to his successor, Elihu Root, was
killed to-day while making a flight at
Brooklands with the English aviator.
E. V. Fisher. Fisher also was killed
by being pitched out of the machine
when at height of about $50 feet.
Fisher was about to give an exhi-
D1t1on and picked Mr.. Mason as a pas
senger from among the spectators.
They circled the track once, when.
eye-witnesses say, the machine, which
was monoplane, made an abrupt
turn. 1t wavered a moment and then
fell straight to earth. The sudden
stoppage in the air threw Fisher
head-long from his seat. Mason was
pinned beneath the wreckage, which
caught fire, and he was badly burned
before extricated. Physicians say
both men die dalmost Immediately.
1t is surmised that some fault de-
veloped in the engine of the aero
plane, which caused the accident. as
weather conditions were perfect. The
bodies were removed to a mortuary
to await an inquest, which probably
will be held on Wednesday.
Fisher was regarded as a daring
aviator.

even though there be substantial con-
flict In the evidence. and unless It ap-
pears that there is an abuse of the
discretion Of the court. its action will
not be reversed on appeal.
Upon the question Of errors of law
occurring on the trial, the main as
signment Is that the court erred in
refusing to grant a nonsuit. There is
nothing in that contention. since W.
have above held that the court may
grant a new trial when there is a sub
stantial conflict in the evidence, and
as there was some evidence in sup
port Of plaintiffs case. the court did
not err in refusing to grant nonsuit.
Therefore, the order granting a new
trial must be sustained and 1t Is so
ordered. As a new trial must be had,
we will not undertake to review the
evidence in this opinion and comment
upon It,"

ANTl-SOciALIST LECTURE
TO BE DELIVERED HERE

An event of especial Significance in
Boise. especially in view Of the in
creased vote received by members of
the Socialist party during the late
election, will be the anti Socialist lee
ture by David Goldstein of Boston, who
on the evening Of Nov. IS will give
what he terms an exposition of the
real meaning OF the Socialistic doc
trine.
Goldstein Is said to be one of the
most interesting speakers on the lee
ture platform and from all accounts
his lectures are highly interesting.
From an ardent Socialist and first can
didate of that party for mayor OF Bos-
ton. Goldstein has developed into the
most active foe Of Socialistic doctrines
in the country. 1t is said for him that
the Socialists of the country fear the
result Of his lectures perhaps more
than any other factor.
Goldstein Is one Of the foremost la :
Dor leaders in the country, being an
official Of the cigarmakers' union and
from his position in labor circles his
denunciation of the Socialist cause as
being inimical to labor carries weight
His lecture will be given under the
auspices of the Knights OF Columbus
and will be free.
