in Wilmington, North
Carolina.

Washington.-Will Wilson Fin
ley, president of the Southern rail
way and a leading figure in move
ments for the development Of the
South, died here, as result of q
stroke of apoplexy he suffered few
hours before. He did not regain con
seriousness after he was stricken.
Mr.. Finley's family, friends and as
sociates were wholly unprepared for
prime of life, he was vigorous and en-
ergetic, and seemingly in the best of
health, until moment before he was
felled by the stroke.
Mr. Finley was born on September
2, 1853, in Pass Christian, on the gulf
coast of Mississippi. He was educated
in the private school of Pass Chris
tian and grew to early manhood in
the atmosphere Of this picturesque
section of the South. At the age of 20
he entered the railroad service as a
stenographer and by 1889 he had filed
almost ever minor position in the
clerical department of various rail
roads. During the succeeding six years
Mr.. Finley served several railroad sys-
TENS in important executive capaci
ties. He became on October /, 1895,
third vice president of the Southern
railway. Later he was second vice
president of the Great Northern rail
way, but on September Is, 1896, he re-
turned to the Southern railway as Sec
ond vice president. Ten years later,
in December, he was chosen president
of the Southern in succession to Sam
uel Spencer, who was killed in a rear
end collision ON the morning of
Thanksgiving day, six years ago.

U. S. Army BIRDNEN KILLED
LIEUTENANT ELLINGTON AND
KELLY ARE INSTANTLY
KILLED IN CALIFORNIA.
Control Was Lost, and the AeropIane
Fell, Crushing Both Men
to Death.

San Diego, Cal-Two intrepid navi-
gators of the air, Lieuts. Hugh M.
Kelly and Eric l.. Ellington, U. s. A,
attached to the camp of the First aero
corps, were instantly killed at North
Island, when they fell from an altitude
of eighty or more feet in dual con-
troll biplane.
Within eight minutes after Lieuten-
ant Ellington had waved his hand as
signal to the mechanicians to let go
the biplane, the army aviator and his
brother officers were dead.
Lieutenant Ellington, skillful pilot,
occupied the instructors seat in the
biplane, with Lieutenant Kelly at his
side. The latter, a comparative novice
in the art of flying, was receiving in
structions in the handling of control
levers. Owing to the general arrange
ment of the controlling wires, Lieuten-
ant Ellington could be at all times
absolute master of the machine
The engine, one of six cylinders and
60-horse power, was working perfectly
and the late officers assembled to
height of 800 feet, circled and then
began volplane, which was to have
brought them back to the hangers.
Whether at this instant the aero
planists temporarily lost control of the
machine, or the initial impetus of the
revolving propeller when the biplane
was at so low an altitude, caused the
machine to tip forward, can only be
conjectured. But the spectators of the
flight say the biplane suddenly pitch
ed forward, nose downward, and shot
to the earth.

TRYING TO CORNER
THE POTATO CROP
ALLEGED DEALERS IN LARGE
CITIES ARE BUYING UP THE
SHORT SUPPLY.
WASHINGTON INVESTIGATES
Country Endorses Justice Depart
ment's Endeavor 10 Break High
Food Prices.

Washington.-A new phase of the
cost of living problem was brought
to the attention Of the department of
agriculture. T. p. Gill, secretary of
the Irish board Of agriculture, told
Secretary Houston that spectators in
the large cities of the United States
were actively buying up this years
short American potato crop and plan
ming to hold out for high prices, count
ing on the existing quarantine against
potatoes from many foreign countries
to aid them in their undertaking.
Mr. Gill is here to urge the removal
of the embargo on potatoes from Ire
land and has been getting private ad-
vices from various sources on the po-
tato situation.
Secretary Houston and the Federal
horticultural board held conference
after Mr.. GilFs statement, but no ac-
ton was announced.

see, author of a pending bill to pro-
hibit the keeping of products in cold

was in conference with department of

investigation of the storage of eggs,
poultry and dairy products. 1t is said
a preliminary inquiry has revealed
that So per cent of the present egg
supply held in storage is in the hands
of the great meat packers of the coun-
try.
Letters and kilograms poured in
from all parts of the country, from in
dividuals, associations of various kinds
and from business men praising the
departments efforts to break high
food prices by proceedings against the
alleged combination of cold storage
dealers. Interest in Attorney General
McReynolds' declaration that a sweep
ing investigation will be made of the
alleged combination and that if VIC
lations of the pure food act were dis
closed prosecutions could be looked
for, apparently is greater than in any
move the department has made in a

Spanish Residents Appeal TO the
American Consul for Protection
for Lives and Property.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Rebel scouts re-
ported to General Francisco Villa at
Juarez that they had sighted the Fed
eral outposts at Villa Ahumada, 81
miles south OF Juarez. The presence
of the Federal forces at Villa Ahumada
has caused no little concern in Juarez,
as the rebel officers do not know def
nitely whether they are the troops
which retreated from TERRA Blanca
after their defeat or are reinforce
ments from Chihuahua, again moving
north to engage Villa.
Il will leave to attack Chihuahua
just as soon as ! can get my trains
loaded with provisions and troops"
said General Villa at Juarez.
General Villa will hold a review and
parade of his troops in celebration of
the victory over the Federals at TERRA
Blanca. After the parade the troops
will make immediate preparations for
leaving for the south.
Thousands of dollars worth of pro-
visions were transferred from Ell Paso
to Juarez to be loaded on Villas
trains.
Villa expects to have at least 12,-
900 men when he attacks Chihuahua.
He said he had sent word for Gen.
Thomas Urbina to bring 5000 men
north from Torreon district, and that
Gen. Manuel Choa is now in the vi
entity of Chihuahua with 1900 rebel
troops Villa will take 1000 soldiers
from Juarez, leaving a garrison of
about one hundred men to protect the
city.
Spanish residents of Juarez appeal
ed to American Consul Thomas B. Ed
wards of that city, to take charge of
their possessions in the city, as Gen.
eral Villa has threatened to confis-
cate their stores and other proper
ty. Consul Edwards accepted the GUS

have aroused Villas displeasure by re-
fusing to accept rebel fiat money and
closing their stores.

Exquisitely written, beautifully felt,
strongly conceived-this story against
a rich Italian background, Of the fas-
cinating Camilla is an excellent exam
pie Of the art Of fiction in its develop
ment as one of the fine arts to-day.
From the moment when, in the Garden
Of Simples, in the company Of Aunt

country priest, Don Iginio, we first per-
ceive her, a dark k-haired, long-legged
nine-y -year-old, at play-acting, impar-
sonating a creature Of infiammatory
loveliness, until that hour wherein we
take our leave Of her as the deeply re-
ligious Marchesa Filiberti, Camilla
holds us intent by the witchery Of her
distinct personality. Strange fortunes
are hers. She is the child of a peas
ant woman. Her ill-starred father (as
she thought him) is given to saying,
Poverty is a pig" Her striking talent
as a child brings her to the attention
Of a nobleman ito whom she owes her
existence), by whose bounty she is
educated. Whence she enters upon her
career Of an unscrupulous adventures.
Through life she is a consummate and
dramatic actress, and among her gifts
is 4 distinguished genius for fabrica-
ton. Her lies as works OF art are raw
ishing. She Is in turn a mysterious
duchess who gives lessons in Ian

to a most interesting famous Ameri-
