an Aeroplnne Flight.

Manila, Nov. 4.-Second Lieutenant
c. Perry Rich, of the Philippine scouts.
U. s. A., was killed today in q fall with
a hydro-aeroplane into Manila Bay.
Lieutenant Rich. who was the only
member of the Philippine scouts att

encircling the Asiatic fleet which was
at anchor In the bay. when the accident
occurred. A launch from the torpedo
boat Decatur was the first OF many
crafts to reach the scene Of his fall
His body was picked up with life al-
most extinct and 1t was too late to save
him.
The accident was due to a faulty
cylinder in the motor. Lieutenant

left the ground and at first decided to
abandon his flight but he afterwards
repaired the cylinder and ascended. He
had risen to a height of 200 feet and
was making a preparatory trip round
the fleet before starting on his intend
ed flight over the vessels during which
he was to attempt to drop a bomb on
one of them when his motor again
broke down.

SPLENDID OUTLOOK FOR
FRUIT FAIR NEXT MONT

Many fruit growers are already plan
nlng for the fruit fair which will be
heid in June. this being the second
year Tor such an exhibit, The jndi-
cations are that there will be a much
better line of exhibits than last year.
though the showing then amazed eyery-
body.
Last year the fair was held June s.
aod 1t will probably be about the same
day this year, the date being selected
with special reference on apricots,
though other fruits are also shown,
II is unfortunate that on no one date
can all the fruits Of the valley be
shown. On the date given apricots are
at their prime, few early peaches are
ripe, grapes are just beginning to
sweeten, and early figs are coming
in, but aside from apricots none of the
fruits are at their best, and by the time
they would be in apricots would be
gone.
This year frost caught many OF
the early figs, and they will be scarce
thaugh the later crop will be great.
Apricots will be good crop, as will
peaches and grapes, and it spredicted
that the valley will this year for the
first time ship carloads Of fresh april
cots.
Clark Adair and w. E. Wilsie are
again this year the moving spirits In
the matter of holding the fruit fair.

To Investigate Tariff
tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS


WASHINGTON, May 9.-Stirred by
threats Of manufacturers to close their
factories when the Underwood tariff
becomes law. because they say they
"can not longer operate profitably un-
der its provisions,' it was decided to-
day to have departmental investiga-
ton OF the situation, If necessary. II
was ordered that Secretary of Com
merce Redfield investigate all such
cases. A fund Of 100000 to be placed
at hi sdisposal, later to be increased
to million if necessary to get the facts
wanted.
In explaining his probable action
Redfield told The United Press that
Il have recommended to the president
that he make available an apprOpria-
tion Of 100000 to cover the investiga-
tlon In the appropriation BILL stating
tnat is among the duties of the bureau
OF foreign and domestic commerce to
ascertain the cost Of producing articles
IN America and leading countries abroad
and also to ascertain the profit Of the

articles are controlled by trusts and
what effect trusts and combinations
have upon production and prices. The
law will provide for the investigation
to start whenever the president or
congress orders. ! have asked the pres
ident to order it now."
Following the passage In the house
last night Of the tariff bill, 1t went to
the senate late today. The probabil-
iitirs are That tiie senate will postpone
its consideration. A harder fight is
expected there.
