Excited Crowd Rushes to One Side;
Launch Turns Over,

Excited Crowd Rushes to One Side
Launch Turns Over.
Chicago-The tipping over and res.
cue of eight spectators in q launch,
the disabling Of two hydro aeroplanes
far out in the lake and the "pranks'
of an aviator dressed as q woman
brought Chicago's aviation meet to q
close.
Great crowds near Grant Park, on
the lakefront, were startled to observe
what appeared to be a woman diving
in a biplane almost straight down
from an altitude of 5000 feet, and
then with her arms off the levers and
her skirts fluttering about her face,
flying as low as 10 feet over the heads
of the spectators. To make the scene
more startling, the woman" few out
of the course and skinned up and
down Michigan avenue, sending auto
mobiles in all directions to seek
safety.
The woman" was Lincoln Beachy,
who disguised himself as mile. Clar-
Use Lavateur," for the purpose of
creating q new aerial sensation for
Chicago. So excited were eight spec
tators in q launch in the harbor that
they all gathered at one side of the
craft and it tipped over. They were
rescued by tug.
Bechwith Ravens, while driving a
hydro-aeroplane with a passenger,
punctured his pontoon. Both men
were picked up as they were sinking.
Anthony Jennus, in hydro-aero-
plane, had a similar accident. His
machine had to be lowed in.
Armed with stout club, Weldon B.
Cooke, an aviator of Oakland, Cal,
defended his wrecked aeroplane for
several hours against crowd of sew
eral hundred souvenir hunters. When
flying on the South Side he fell,
wrecking his biplane. He was
stunned by the fall, and when he re-
gained consciousness he found large
crowd around his machine breaking
pieces from it to carry away as SOU
venirs. Selling club, he held the
crowd back until the police arrived.

AT.
TACK WI CHANG
Fierce Fight Results In Repulse
Of Rioters.
Captured Officers Are Executsd-In.
tention Was to Loot City
People Are Hopeful.

Pekin - The troops encamped out
side the gate Of WI Chang, capital Of
the province Of Hu Peh, mutinied
Wednesday night and attacked the
city. The troops numbered several
hundred and were composed for the
most part of cavalry.
A strong force of General Ii Yuen
Heng's regiment engaged the rebels
and after several hours of fierce fight
ing dispersed them. The casualty list
is not known. Two officers were ex-
ecuted for refusing to divulge their
knowledge of the movement.
1t is believed the attacking party
intended to loot the city, but most Of
the towns in the interior have no de-
tenders from such outbreaks in which
both the Republican and former i'm
perial troops INDUCED. The Repub-
lican spirit apparently is not appreci-
ated by the classes from which the
soldiers are recruited.
The object of the recent Chinese
loan is ostensibly for paying off and
discharging this menacing army,
which is large, according to the lists
submitted by the generals. The ma
tional assembly made an investigation
and discovered that the generals, like
the soldiers, were not free from the
methods prevalent under the Manchus,
but the government argues that it is
cheaper to pay the demands of the
leaders than to fight.
The Chinese appear to be we'll
pleased with the success of the new
loan negotiations, the newspapers
having stirred up an agitation against
the foreign control as proposed by the
group.

PEST IN GLOVER SEED.
Mldge Which Prevents. Seed Form.
ing Found in Oregon.


ing Found in Oregon.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-For the first time in Oregon
reports of the ravages of Dasyneura
Leguminicola Lint, the clover seed
nudge, are coming to the Oregon Ag-
rlcultural college, and its abundance
indicates that it has been in the state
Tor some seasons undetected. A. L..
Lovett, OF the crop pest force of the
oregon Agricultural college, is max
ing a study Of it.
The injury consists in the proven
ton of the formation of the seed, +"
says Mr.. Lovett. 1.-THE larvae enter
the flower buds and feed on the con-
tents of the ovaries of the fowrets.
The injury becomes serious the second
season, and increases each year the
held is allowed to run.
The pest is present through the
majority of the states where red clo-
yer is grown, and has also been re-
ported from Ontario and from Eng
land. The red clover is the favorite
host plant, but the white clover and
alsike are also attacked and possibly
the mammoth clover as well.
1.-The adult female fly is so small
and active that it is seldom seen in
the field. It has a single pair of
wings, long slender legs and pinkish
body. Under the microscope the head
and dorsal surface Of the thorax are
either black or dusky, and the abdo-
men salmon pink with smoky shades.
It is about two millimeters long !;
when the ovipositor is extended it is
nearly six millimeters in length.
In the Middle West ..its natural
enemies are numerous. If the pest is
serious and crop of seed is desired,
several methods may be used to con-
troll the injury by varying the time of
formation of the clover head. Pastur-
ing the field in the spring or early
summer destroys the midges and
varies the time of the main cutting for
seed. The crop of clover hay may be
cut early, insuring heavy seed crop
with slight reduction in the yield of
hay. The seed crop may be moved
back just after it starts, delaying the
heading sufficiently to miss the second
brooding of flies.
In report on the presence of this
insect near Portland, the maggots
were found in numbers i'm hangers
where clover hay was being fed. As
far as we have been able to discover,
the presence of the maggot does not
lessen the volume of the hay mater
tally and is not detrimental to stock. "

Electric Opiate Found,

Berlin-An electric sleep, which
may be turned on and off at will, is
the alluring prospect offered to peo-
pie suffering from insomnia by DR..
Nagelschmidt, who describes his in
vention for this purpose in a medical
magazine.
He says he has devised new form
of electric current which, when ap-
piled to the base of the brain, will
produce a narcotic effect which can be
maintained as long as is desired. II
has been tried with success and with.
out any injurious effects on dogs and
rabbits, and DR.. Nagelschmidt is con-
WINGED that it can be equally well ap'
piled to human beings.
Application of the current aise
eliminates pain from any part OF tne
body.

Beauty of Woodwork.

There is friendly atmospere in
the presence of much woodwork
painted wood, but wood finished to
show the beauty of its natural growth
that is entirely lost in an expsnse
of smooth, hard paint. It's mellow
lights and soft shades form far more
restful background than any papered
surface, and its strength and durabil-
ity make a wood finish ideal for q
house that is to suggest the feeling of
permanence and stability that belongs
to the true home. Suburban Life.

Help and Be Happy.

Happiness is not task. It is not
even an occupation. 1t is quality of
life. Happiness depends on helpful
ness. That's the reason joy is social.
Helpfulness keeps happiness because
it adds to the area of affection.
People are not happy when they seek
after happiness. They become STEPPED
in happiness when they undertake to
promote the joy of others. Walter
Williams.

CURB ON FLYERS SOUGHT.
Aviators' League Proposed to STOP
Reckless Aerial Flights.

Aviators' League Proposed to stop
Reckless Aerial Flights.
London-The death of Fl. J. d. Asst
ley by the fall of his aeroplane at Bel
fast has given impetus to the move
ment to found a National Aviators'
league.
Ashley was the twentieth British
airman to lose his life. A similar
movement has begun in the United
States to forbid unnecessary flying in
volving dangerous risks. The move
ment has the support of the leading
aviation authorities.
Ashley, who met death while exc
cutting too sharp turn, wore no
safety helmet. He received thereby
injuries to his head. He was the heir
of a millionaire and descendant OF
Cromwell.
Many of the spectators of the acct
dent are of the opinion that Ashley
sacrificed his life in a brave attempt
to avoid colliding with the crowd.

Uproar in Geneva.
Geneva, Switzerand-Great tumult
and display of temper marked Thurs
days session of the international
Peace congress.
Questions connected with Morocco
and Tripoli occupied the attention OF

Cobalt, president of the international
Peace bureau, of Germany's attitude
in Morocco brought the German dele
gates to their feet in heated protest.
DR.. Gobat was obliged to make q
semi-apology.
Representatives of the French
Christian Society of Peace said they
thought some of the blame might be
attached tc France for intervening in
Morocco. This caused another uproar
and the subject finally was referred to
q committee.
When the Italian adventure in Tri-
poli was ,broached in the discussion,
such an uproar arose that the speaker
was obliged to suspend his remarks.

PEACE ADVOCATES IN RIOT.
Agitator Target Of French Socialists
When He Opposes Radicals.

Paris - Revolutionary syndicalists
and more moderate socialists engaged
in free fight in the Sale Wsgram,
where a public meeting had been
called by Gustave Herve, the anti-mil-
itary agitator, on the occasion of the
depart''-A IF the conscripts to join the
army.
Many shots were fired and chairs
were used as weapons. No one was
killed but several persons were
wounded. It was Herve's first ap-
pearance in public since his release
from prison last July. Herve is ed
itor of the Guerre Sociale, and was
sentenced to four years imprisonment
in 1910 for melting murder, but was
pardoned by President Fallieres.
When he took the platform and
failed to advise the conscripts to de-
sert, the radical anti-militarist faction
and anarchists who were present in
great strength, raised pandemonium.

MAKE EGGS FROM AIR.
Scientist Sees Great Possibility in Nj
trogen and Compounds.

Chicago - DR.. Paul Walden, of
Riga, Russia, predicts that the next
great feat of chemistry will be the
making of eggs from air. DR.. WAL
den, who is president elect of the
Ninth international Congress of APP
piled Chemistry, to be held in st. Pc
tersburg in 1915, further predicts that
a variety of heterogeneous foods will be
made from the air some day.
81 consider it practically certain
that at no distant day we will be
drawing food supplies from the air, :"
he said. Professor Bernthsen, of
Germany, already has succeeded in
making the simple compound of nitro
gen and hydrogen.
"This shows that we will be able to
make more complex compounds. An
egg is a complex compound of nitro
gen, oxygen, sulphur and hydrogen.

WANTS u. S. TO
OWN COMPANIES

Des Moines, March 4.-That gov,
eminent ownership of the express
companies of the United States is the
only solution for the express problem,
is the belief of Attorney General Cos.
son, who just returned from the ex.
press hearing before the interstate
commerce commission at Washing
ton.
"A great deal of good in the way
of improvements In service and re
duction of charges are sure to result
from the commissions work" said
Mr. Cosson, "but believe government
ownership issthe only solution. So
long as the railroads enjoy return
from the gross receipts OF the ex-
press companies, it remains to the adj
vantage of both to keep the charges
up"
Mr. Cosson stated that during his
visit to Washington he talked with
several congressman regarding THE
express question and, according to
their views, sentiment is growing for
federal ownership Of the companies.
Clifford Thorne, member of the
state board Of railroad commissioners
and d. L. Wise, commerce counsel
for the state, also represented Iowa
at the hearing.
