mia Bird Man, on Its
600th ACenSion.

London, Aug. Colonel F. S. Cody,

house when his aeroplane began trav-
cling badly, md finally fell With a
crash to the ground. Several officials
rushed to the spot and found the bod
les of Cody and Evans beneath the
aeroplane.
SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE.
Cody was the most interesting fig
ure in aviation in the British isles. He
was a real soldier of fortune, with a
varied career behind him. He was
well known In public in England, and
very popular. He wore a sombrero,
long mustache, and Ions hair almost
like our Buffalo Bill" He came to
England number of years ago where
he was a cowboy in the est. He had
severe struggle to obtain a start in
England. After living precariously for
awhile he attracted the attention of
experts in the British war office IN
account of his play of natural gifts of
construction, particularly in aerial ma
chimes.
STARTED WITH BOX KITE.
He was said to be able to build any
thing in the way OF flying machinery
or a balloon. He first expersmented
with box kites. These he developed
at Aldershot. He achieved such sue
cess with kites the British war office
attached him to the military service
and it's aviation staff. He carried off
the military prize of $4,000 open to
the world at SALISBURY Plain in 1912.
He leaves a wife and son in England.
EVANS IN INDIAN SERVICE.

service, and came to England to study
aviation. The aeroplane was at an
altitude of between 200 and 300 feet
when it fell.

which Cody was tuning up for the
forthcoming race around England and
Scotland for $4,000 prize. 1t weigh
ed over a ton. The motor was 100
horsepower and had wing span of
60 feet.

CHICACO'S FIRST
WOMAN JURY SITS
Hearts of Members Melted by
Tales of Those of Doubt
full Sanity.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Chicago's first
woman jury sat in judgment today in
the cases of 25 women and children
in the court for the insane. 1t was
composed of six prominent women
connected with educational and char
liable institutions. Their eyes gliS-
tened and their hearts melted in SYM
pathy as story after story of misfor-
tune and unhappiness was unfolded.
In one case the fair jurors were told
how a mother had bitten to pieces
flesh from the body or her 7-months-old
baby and believed she was doing the
Lords bidding. One woman was COM
mitted to an insane hospital, and an
other was set free. In every case
their decision met with the views of
Judge Owen.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-08-07

President Wilson is to consult with
prominent MeXicans and advise them
that the only basis on which Mexico
will be recognized by the United
States is the elimination of President
Huerta. Earlier reports that Mr.. Lind
proposed to deal with Huerta perhaps
by making the direct suggestion that
he resign were received with indigna-
ton by Mexican officials, and the new
angle of his visit makes it not i'm
probable that he will be treated with
even less consideration than other
wise would have been accorded him.
WOULD BE IGNORED.
It was pointed out by prominent
Mexican that in the former case the
government might not consider itself
obliged to act until the suggestion
was actually put forward by Mr.. Lind,
but that in the second case the govern
ment would be justified in characterize
ing him as one who was inciting Mex
leans along lines of sedition and in ap-
plying the pernicious foreign expIl-
sion clause of the constitution. This
Mexican also indicated that since Mr.
Lind was coming to Mexico in an IN
official capacity and with no creden-
tials, he could not expect more consid-
Grafton or immunity than an ordinary
foreigner would receive.

A S5OO,OOO fund
James A. Emery Denies That
Manufacturers Were Unduly
Active in Politics.

Washington, =. c.. rug. AT to-
days session of the senate lobby COM
mittee, Senator Reed tried to get
James A. Emery, principal Washing
ton representative of the manutactur-
ers, to testify that the council of in
dustrial defense had it's origin at the
convention of manufacturers in 1907,
when James VanCleave appealed for
a half million dollar fund for three
years. Witness denied the fund was
raised.
Emery testified that his duties at
Washington were not secret, but that
he obtained and analyzed bills in con-
gress concerning relations between
e. employer and employe.
The house lobby committee today
heard James L. Ewell, former employe
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers. "They reached out into al,
most every matter concerned with
commerce and business in the coun
| try" he said.
How the National Association OF
Manufacturers "prodded" members OF
congress to support legislation the as
sociation favored and opposed those
who threatened its interests was ex
planned to the house lobby committee
yesterday by Emery. Discussing the
political activities of the association
! before the senate committee, Emery
said that the body itself did not engi
neer congressional campaigns. The
association kept track of the records
of congressman, he added, and wher
the time for their reelection came
notified its members in the individual
districts, and the campaign work was
done by the local members.
A letter written by Emery to F. G
Schwedtman, secretary of the presi
dent of the National Association ol
Manufacturers in 1910, commented or
the fact that Congressman Barthold
was very effectually prodded from st
Louis" in connection with a vote prop
osition to exempt labor unions from
prosecution under the Sherman law
Members of the committee conducted
rather a lengthy examination to de
termine just what the method o.
"prodding' was employed by the as
sociation, The witness explained tha
letters and kilograms were started
from the constituents of the congress
man south to be influenced by com
municating with the members of tn,
association in the congressman's dis
trict

Representative Willis characterized a
Everlasting and eternal war; betweeI
the National Association of ManufaC
turers and the National Civic fedora

1910, Mr.. Schwedtman wrote to job

sociation of Manufacturers:

paign bring about the thing which /
} most desirable at the present time i

Washington, D. c., Aug. 7.-The flat
charge that department of justice
agents had investigated federal judges
to influence their action in cases in
which the government is Interested
was made in the senate today by Bor-
ah and endorsed partially by Norris.
Borah's charge was brought out by
a report from the attorney general
responding to a senate resolution ask
ing where federal agents were investi-
eating judges. The resolution reflected
some sentiment aroused in the case
whose court has been Investigated and
who had attacked the department o.
justice in a public speech. The attOr-
ney generals reply to the inquiry was
that any report that the department
of justice was maintaining a system
of espionage over judges was entire
ly without foundation"
Borah responded with his charge
saying: 81 know this is very serious
charge, but l was so reliably informed
that l make the statement that with
in the last four or five years special
agents have carried on such investiga-
tion with a view of influencing
judges"
