British Officers Killed TODAY

OXFORD, Eng, Sept 10.--Aviation
claimed two more victims in the ranks
Of the British army today, making
four members of the Royal flying
corps killed in less than a week.
Those who met death near here to-
day were Lieutenant Hotchkiss and
Lieutenant Bettington. While the
men were passing the village of Will
vercoot. the aeroplane tank suddenly
exploded at a height Of 500 feet. The
machine seemed to disintegrate and
fall in pieces.
Hurled from the car by the force
of the explosion. the bodies of the
aviators fell far apart. They were
badly mangled.
The shattered remains of Hotchkiss
fell in the river and those of Betting
ton fell in field.
An investigation was started at once
by the war office. Aerial experts de-
clared that the accident probably had
been caused by a leak of the gasoline
tank which allowed the fluid to reach
the ignition of the motor.
A countryman who saw the accident
SAID the machine was going at great
speed when suddenly he saw a puff
or smoke and the aeroplane break in
to two pieces. When the sound of
the detonation reached the spectator
be knew that the motor had exploded.
The two fatalities today make a to-
tai OF ffty-two army aviators killed
In aerial accidents since the inaugura-
tion of flying as part of the mill
sary science. About half the victims
have been French officers,

GET new EVIDENCE
IN HAMMOND CASE
Woman Corroborates Theory
of the Coroner in Death
of Messmaker.
(National News Association

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-Declaration by
Chief of Police Austin of Hammond,
Indiana, that he had the names of
twenty persons who had mysteriously
disappeared from Hammond and West
Hammond, and were believed to have
been slain in dives in the two cities,
and the discovery of new witness in
the death of John Messmaker and
Ethel Harrison in Henry Foss's West
Hammond saloon today stirred Miss
Virginia Brooks, Coroner Hoffman and
others to hasten preparation of their
evidence to the September grand
jury The new witness was believed
to have practically cleared up the
deaths in Foss's place. This witness,
who was known in West Hammond as
Kitty Clark, corroborated the coro-
ner's theory that If Messmaker was
killed he was victim OF frankie
Ford's morphine needle.
The mayor of West Hammond has
appealed to Chicago for special guards
at Thursday nights council meeting,
when he expects to announce that he
has discharged every member of the
village police force for failure to clase
the Foss dive and five other resorts.
The mayor fears that rioting in the
council chamber will follow his an
nouncement.
Miss Brooks today expressed impa.
tience at the turn things have taken
in the Messmaker case.
TT is peculiar" she said, that ev.
erybody should rush to blame the
Ford woman for everything that hap
pened in the Foss dive. No one has
an iota of evidence to prove that her
story is untrue. except the statement
of those accused, who would not tell
the truth il they were guilty"

C|TYS ATTORNEY
ANSWERS Mr., BAV|S
He Holds that Mr.. Bavis Is
Mistaken Regarding I'm -
portant Clauses. !

City Attorney Gardner today. in re-
ply to the article of Alfred Bayis which
appeared in Mondays issue of the Pal
ladium said that Mr.. Bavis was mistak-
en- on some points.
City Attorney Gardner said the Rich
mond City Water Works company does
not claim perpetual franchise under
the section alluded to by Mr.. Bavis,
but does so under section /, which
gives the company the right to the use
of the streets for it's mains without
stipulating the time when such right
shall cease.
The resolution extending the time
limit of the present franchise and con-
tract until another franchise is accept
ed would be to give the company in
effect a perpetual franchise, stated Mr..
Gardner, for the city officials have no
assurance that another franchise will
be adopted at this time.
The statement of Mr., Bayis that
"in other states courts have decided
that private company operating and
exercising its franchise privileges at
ter the contract expires and before an
other is granted acquires by 90 oper-
ating and exercising a perpetual fran
chise," Mr.. Gardner holds is errone-
Gus.
Mr. Gardner also said Mr.. Bavis was
evidently misled about the amount of
free water eliminated by the city in
the proposed new contract. The city
cuts on only schools, hospitals and
the city building, reserving free wa
ter for street sprinknng. parks foun-
tains, sewer flushing, and a number
of.other usag,

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 10.-Into
this reactionary stronghold came Col.
Roosevelt today. AS the train neared
the city, the eX-president remarked
that he was hopeful" of putting down
the machine of western Washington
and throwing ex-Secretary Ballinger,
leader of the Taft forces into the dis
card. Roosevelt expressed himself as
extremely satisfied with the situation
in eastern Washington. His stay yes
terday in Spokane convinced him that
the Progressive party in that part of
the state is going to make a clean
sweep.
I'm no prophet, but I'm told that
the Progressives will carry Washing
ton in November" observed the
colonel. mo doubt exists as to the
eastern part of the state. / think we
can pull the western part with u.s."
The colonel reached here at
o'clock this morning after a night ride
from Spokane. He went direct to the
county convention of Progressives.
where he talked on the issues Of the
fight. Alluding to the suffrage Of wo-
men, the ex-president said he wanted
to impress the women voters Of Wash
ington with the necessity Of using the
ballot.
you women here In Washington
have the right to vote," he said, turn
ing to the women delegates at the
convention IF the women fail to ex.
ercise the ballot privilege they show
that they do not regard the suffrage
as OF practical value. It Is not enough
to fight for the right to vote. You
must go to the polls and fight for the
principles of government"
The colonel felt impelled to give
this advice because Of the apathy
shown in many parts of Washington
by women who failed to register. He
urged that a complete registration be
got out, so we may smash the
bosses"
