At First Universal Symbol Was Token
Of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that when
ever prominent person dies, espe-
cially II he is connected with the gov
eminent, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part, of the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and Elk
press. This is called. half mast" Did
you ever stop 20 think what connec-
ton there could be between flag
that was not properly holsted and the
death of a great man? -
Ever since flags were used in war 1t
has been the custom to have the flag
of the superior or conquering nation
above that of the inferior or vanquish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten it hauled it's flag down
far enough for the flag Of the victors
to be placed above it on the same
pole. This was a token not only OF
submission, but of respect.
In those days when famous sol
der died flags were lowered out OF
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
of universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag of the great
conqueorr of all-the angel of death.

course at the new Newark motor

Of six persons, killing himself, while
six are dying and thirteen badly in

The only two of the six dead posi-
lively identified yet are Hasha and
Johnny Albright, a Denver motorcy-

The other four dead were boys and
young men among the spectators.
Was Going 90 Miles An Hour.
Five thousand spectators were wit
for-all race when the rider, doing 80
miles an hour, took his fateful plunge.
He was riding high on the bank of the
track when the wheel of his heavy
machine swerved and struck the up
per rail. He was pitched head first
so feet into the air. He must have
been instantly killed in the collision.
His body was shapeIess from broken
bones when it was picked up almost at
the feet of his wife, seated among men
and boys in the bleachers.
Albright Struck BY Wheel.
Albright was thrown head first in
the other direction into the enclos-
ure of the track, when the other cham
pion's wheel came sliding down the
steep bank and struck him. He was
picked up for dead, but he lived in an
unconscious state for more than two
hours after removal to hospital He
finally succumbed to hemorrhage of
the lungs.
The spectators injured were mainly
the men and boys who were leaning
over the rail yelling encouragement to
the riders when Hasha came tearing
into their midst. Some of the spectao
tors were hurled high into the air and
landed in the laps of those seated be-
hind. A scene of panic among the
spectators generally followed the
tragedy.

Cured is in Vailsburg, a suburb of
this city, where bicycle and motor
cycle racing has been great fad this
year. The season has been marked
by a number of accidents, both here
and at Brighton Beach, N. Y, but
never in the history of local racing
has such death list been recorded
as was yesterday.

j. s. MAKES DEMAND
AMERICANS MUST HAVE PROTEC-
TON IN MEXICO, SAYS STATE
DEPARTMENT.
SPECIAL SESSION IS CALLED
Madero Issues Call for Congress to
Meet to Consider Methods for Sup
pressing the RebelIon-Big Bond
Issue Planned.

Mexico City, Sept. 9.-Explicit in
structions were received Friday by
American Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson to make urgent request of the
Mexican government that it send
more troops into northern Mexico. One
hundred and fifty American mining
companies, operating within dis
lance of $50 miles of the United
States border, appealed to the United
States government for protection
some time ago, and the order to the
ambassador is the result. ISABEL sta
ton, near the Ell Tigro mining camp,
an American property, was robbed of
$1,000 worth of merchandise. There
is federal force near Ysabel, but the
rebels surrounding the camp are much
more numerous than the soldiers.
Well founded reports have been re-
ceived from government agents along
the Sonora-Arizona border that citi-
zens of Douglas and Bisbee, Ariz.,
have organized a large armed party
to cross into Mexico to relieve the
American defenders of the Nacozari
copper mining camp, who have been
standing off a rebel force for two days.
President Madero has issued a call
for an extra session of congress to
convene just as soon as the notice can
be served to the senators and dep
uties in the various states. The extra
session will copsider only ways and
means for putting down the rebellion,
the securing of more funds for this
purpose and the plans of campaign.
A $50,000,000 bond issue is to be asked
by Ernesto Madero, minister Of f.
nance, and uncle of the president.

won the Democratic nomination Tues
day for the governorship of Wiscon-

sided in his nomination, defeating
AdoIph J. Schmitz. Republicans were
so active on both sides of the Demo

whether there will be Republican
ticket in the field this fall. The state
law requires that at primary a
party must poll at least 10 per cent.
of it's vote at the preceding election
to hold it's organization. Returns to-

AEROPLANE GUNS.

The experiments by Captain Lewis
oe the United States army, and the
more recent tests of the British army
at Marlborough show that machine
guns can be fired from flying aero
planes with a greater degree OF accu-
racy than has yet been attained at
shooting along the ground. A target
was struck at almost the rate of nine
times out Of ten, which means that
very little ammunition was wasted
The accuracy of plunging fire is nota-
BILE in military annals. At Sedan the
accomplishing cannon of the Germans
planted on elevations compelled Louis
Napoleon's capitulation under threat
of humiliation. IN the Russian-Japan-
csc war Port Arthur was doomed when
the Japanese poured into the city their
calling fire from the great heights
above. The fact that the japanese
worked long to gain those elevations
again proved the recognized value OF
plunging fire. The war in Tripoli has
shown that great damage can be done
by mere bombs dropped from directly
overhead This being demonstrated,
the military authorities Of Europe are
now using machine guns. These can
be aimed and fired more accurately
than anything that is dropped. There
is less waste Of ammunition and more
ammunition can be carried The ex-
periments combine to make a powerful
argument for peace.
