and her sister, Dorothy Hildreth, was
perhaps fatally injured in Hammonds-
port, when Lincoln Beachey lost con-
troll of 100 horsepower aeroplane

off a roof from which they were
watching the exhibition. Ruth Hill

skull was fractured. Among those
slightly hurt were Lieutenants Rich
ardson and Bellinger of the United
States navy aviation corps and
Beachey.
The accident occurred near the
head of Lake Keuka, where Beachey,
it is said, planned to execute SOM
ersault in the air. A crowd had gath
cred for the exhibition. To gain
good view, Misses Hildreth and the
navy officers climbed to the top of
small building used as headquarters
by naval aviators.
Beachey recognized the party and
dipped his machine in salute. They
waved. The aeroplane went to the
end of the field, turned and came
back When it was over the heads. OF
the Hildreth party the machine was
seen to dip. The aeroplane came so
close to the party as to sweep all to

Calumet, Oct. S.-James Pollock. a

by copper mine strikers at the Isle.

was found by other deputies shortly
after the attack lying beside a road
ms mead had been so badly pounded
that his brains were exposed.
Sheriff Cruise has made one arrest

RATE HEARING
Utilities Commission to Consider Coal
Rates Nov. and 25.

The public utilities commission
Will definitely determine the question
or freight rates on screened and mine
run coal at a hearing to be held in
P1ttsburg November s and at a final
hearing to be held in Topeka Novem-
Der rs. The question of rates on and
classificatfons of coal from the south
ern Kansas field has been causing
trouble for some time and both the
mine operators and railroads are
anxious for an early settlement of the
controversy.
1t is charged that the mine oper-
ators have been shipping practically
their entire output of coal as
screened or slack coal and securing a
lower freight rate than for mine run
coal. Now the railroads have asked
for an order from the public utilities
commission which will compel oper-
ators to use not larger than a three
inch screen to determine coal to be
slack. 1t is probable that
the utilities commission will devote
several days to the taking of testi-
mony in these cases, as they are of
much importance to the railroads,
mine operators and consumers who
ultimately pay the bills.

TOO MUCH BASEBALL.
1t Takes Away Interest in Sunday
Schools, Says a Worker.

Washington. Oct. S.-More interest
is taken in the worlds series baseball
struggle than in the spiritual welfare
of the youth of the nation, in the
opinion of Rev. F. s Lewis, who told
members of the board of Sunday
schools of the Baltimore conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church
that a reformation was imperative.
The conference which has attracted
Sunday school workers from through
out the United States will conclude its
deliberations tonight.
"Our losses from the Sunday schools
are deplora ble," said DR.. Lewis. THE
failure to hold the boys and girls in
the church is the darkest cloud on
our horizon. There appears to be
more interest in the worlds series
baseball game than in the spiritual
welfare of the boys and girls"
One-third-or eight million-of the
children of the country today were
outside the Sunday school, speakers
asserted, while 80 per cent of those
who did attend classes were later lost
to the church. The Rev. L. o. Hart

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Oct. 8EWHEAT-Wheat rallied
today owing to the reports that country
deliveries northwest were showing De
cided falling off. 1t was also said that
much wheat from that section was go
ing direct to the south and east and that
millers were active buyers. Statements
that the Argentina government had under
advisement the question of abolishing the
import duty on wheat had some effect
in making the market easy at the outset
After opening unchanged to &c lower the
market advanced above yesterdays close
CORN-Generally favorable weather led
to early weakness in corn, but when wheat
turned strong quotations which had start
ed NC off to a shade up, went above the
previous close.

fed at assertions that Canadian ship
ments would prove burdensome.
PROVISIONS-Lowe prices for hogs
weakened provisions but packers gave the
market support. First sales varied from
sc decline to an advance of 10c with
later upturn.

NAVY men JUBILANT.
Reported That President Favors
Building More Battleships.

Washington, Oct. S.-Big navy men
in the administration were jubilant
today over the prospect of three bat
tleships being proposed in the new
naval appropriation bill as an adj
ministration policy. Semiofficial an
nouncement that such building pro-
gram might have the support of the
White House to put the United states
back in the place it occupied among
naval powers before the last congress
reduced the program to one dread
nought, attracted wide. attention in
congress. A Democrat house of the
last congress reduced the current APP
preparation to provide for one ship
only on the grounds of economy.
The understanding among those
close to administration leaders was
that an adequate navy" policy as
endorsed by President Wilson would
provide for two battleships each year
hereafter and less expenditures for the
navy ashore and on smaller craft.

Two Other Towns Fall Into Hands of
the Insurgents.

Douglas, Ariz., Oct. 8.-The consti-

clever ruse, says an official report
transmitted through Douglas. General
Choa of the insurgent forces told of
it in making his report to General
CarranZa at Hermosillo and also puts
a new aspect on the capture of Santa
Rosalia.
While the federa1s were fighting
with what they considered the main
rebel force at Santa Rosalia, Chihua-
hua, the major group of insurgents
took Torreon and La Paz. The town
of Sierra Mojeda also fell into rebel
hands on Thursday, said the message.
