French aviator named Pegoud today
looped-the-loop while flying at height
of 1900 feet in his aeroplane He aft
erward descended without injury.
Pegoud recently caused q sensation
by dropping safely from an aeroplane with
q parachute. He announced before leav-
ing the ground today that he intended
to turn somersault In the air with his
aeroplane, and his movements were fol-
lowed closely by large body Of observ-
ers. When he reached a height Of
about 5000 feet he turned the nose of
his machine straight toward the earth
and darted downward with his motor
working at full power. After plunging
about 1900 feet with frightful velocity
he changed the position Of his rudder
and caused the aeroplane to turn a
complete vertical circle. The machine
then glided down in a huge spiral vol
plane and alighted gently on the
ground. Pegoud will repeat the feat
tomorrow in the presence of a commit
tee Of military officers.

BUT FEW PICNIC DAYS.
Storms and Low Temperature Com.
ing Last of This Week.

Ye picnickers and summer resortists'
take warning. Get all of your enjoymene
and pleasure from the outdoor life be-
fore the middle OF the week. The first
few days you will enjoy an outing, for
the weather man says you will have
warm weather i'm this part of the coun-
try, and can keep on your summer
finery.
But you had better stow up a few logs
for the fire in the open hearth to take
the chill away. for about the middle of
the week-the weather forecaster says
Wednesday or Thursday-you can look
for local showers and thunderstorms to
drive you indoors, and you won't have
time to stick your nose outside before
there will be some real cool weather.
Then you will hate to even look at the
water at the bathing beaches and will
be unable to spread a table in the woods
for a picnic.
It's coming, because the weather man
says so. So make your plans for the
first part of the week and you won't be
disappointed unless you didn't expect
warm weather.

FOR HIS BELIEF
Why Representative Adamson
Declares Cuban War Could |
Have Been Averted. |

In reference to the criticism Of Rep
resentative Adamson's comment on the
Presidents Mexican message. as pub
lished in The Star OF Friday. August
%. in a letter signed by Louis r. Ril-
liet, a misunderstanding may have
arisen because Representative ADAM
SON was not quoted fully. What Mr..
Adamson said concerning the popula.
ton Of Cuba was this:
III such a message as that read by
the President in the House Wednesday
could have been read prior to the Span
ish-American war, that great and USE
less conflict would have been averted.
The war, in my opinion. was a political
move. to serve to perpetuate the power
and prestige Of the republican party.
Plea of the Cubans.
There was in Washington at the
time the war broke out a representa-
ton of Cubans. who were trying to
avert the war and endeavoring to in
fluence America to quit helping Spain
by running down ships that were aid
ing Cuba If that sort OF policy had
been pursued IL we had kept hands off
Cuba, there would have been eventual
" a hundred thousand Americans ON
hand in Cuba to fight against Spain
under the Cuban flag, and after once
whipping Spain Cuba would have been
taken over as a state of the Union with
a much larger white population than
at present"

CALLS SUFFRAGE A FAILURE.
Miss Book, Formerly an Enthusiast,
Cites California Experience.

The National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage has issued a statement
from Miss Annie Book Of California, in
which Miss Book declared that woman
suffrage has been failure In California.
According to the statement, Miss Book
was formerly an enthusiastic worker for
suffrage, but has come to realize the err
ror Of her ways.
II do not deny that there are some
lovable. enthusiastic suffragists. but they
know not what they do" Miss Book is
quoted as saying THE persistency OF a
few agitators. small minority Of their
sex. should not put upon the great ma
jority of women an obligation and a bur-
den which they do not care to bear, and
which will bring calamity to the nation.
Men should not be impressed by the pa
rades and demonstrations of a few thou
sand faddists picked up here and there
over the country"
Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubs and other
suffragists here today denied the claims
of Miss Book, saying that the testimony
of thousands Of California woman voters
show that woman suffrage Is proving a
great success In that state.
