BALLooNISTS FELL.
Vermont Man Had Mishap at Maine
State Fair.

Lewiston, Me-, Sept. 6.--one of the
smallest crowds which has attended the
Maine state fair for years saw one of the
best racing cards in many years yester-
day afternoon at the second day of the
big Maine fair. The weather threatened
a downpour all day and though not a
drop OF rain fell, it kept the people at
home.
An unfortunate accident to the bal
loonist marred the sport of the after
noon. Jerry Hudson OF Passumpsic. Vt,
"a professional who had been engaged to
give an ascension and parachute drop
each day OF the fair, attempted to 90 up
at o'clock, taking with him Philip
Young. p years old, of Knox street, Lew
iston, intending to make double para
chute drop.
The balloon caught fire as it rose and
when about 40 or 80 feet up the bottom
Of the balloon dropped and the men fell.
Young sustained potts fractures of both
legs. Hudson apparently was not so Sc
rerely injured. but complained of pain in
his back. Both men were taken to the
Central Maine General hospital.

DRASTIC DEMANDS IN CHINA.
Are Made by Japan, According to Advices
in Washington.

| Washington, D. c., Sept. 6.-Sweeping
demands, far more drastic than any pub
! lished summaries have indicated, are re-
yealed in the secret terms being pressed
on China by Japan as result of the
recent armed conflict between soldiers
of the two nations at Cheng Chiatun in
inner Mongolia. Private dispatches re-
ceived here yesterday revealed that ia
pan seeks indemnities, an apology, and
political concessions throughout the
whole section of inner Mongolia, and
South Manchuria.
The four formal demands are quoted
as follows:
Punishment of the commanding
Chinese officer involved in the trouble.
2-Dismissal, with punishment, of the
officers involved.
3-Instructions to Chinese troops in
inner Mongolia and South Manchria and
to publish this fact broadly.
4-Recognition of special interests"
for Japan in inner Mongolia and South
Manchuria, comprising powers of police
and administration preference in loans
and in the selection OF all foreign adyis-
ors, etc"
Besides the four demands are four
concessions" which China is asked to
grant Japan without formal demand, as
follows:
THE Chinese army in South Man
chura and eastern Mongolia to employ
Japanese military advisers.
2-Chinese schools and colleges to have
Japanese military inspectors. This is
not limited to any section in dispatches
so far received.
"a formal apology in person from
the Chinese governor of Mukden to the |
Japanese governor at Dairen, and the |
consul at Mukden for the Cheng /
Chatun trouble.
Monetary compensation to the fam
lilies of the Japanese killed, the amounts
to be settled by later negotiations.

HUGHES CONDEMNS
HASTY LAW-MAKING
Says United States Has Advanced To-
ward Day of Action Under Pres
sure-He Wants Fair
Dealing.

Lewiston, Ky. Sept. 6.--Charles T.
Hughes, addressing an audience that
filled the auditorium here yesterday, con
demncd Legislation in advance OF inves
| tigation" and declared that the United
States had gone far toward the day
when we shall have action under pres.
sure, instead of in consideration of the
facts"
Mr. Hughes declaration was loudly ap.
plauded. The nominee did not refer TO
the Adamson law, but his remarks were
interpreted by many in the audience As
applying to it.
"We have a new spirit abroad in these
recent days in America" Mr.. Hughes
said. 1T is the spirit that demands leg
islation in advance of investigation. II
is the spirit that demands executive ac-
tion and congressional action in advance
OF an examination of the facts upon
which said action should be based.
1T is the spirit that says; Iegislste
now and investigate afterwards IL is
the spirit OF force. II is not American.
I'm the bottom OF my soul ! desire
fair dealings in this country between
man and man. There "a no one more
anxious than | that there should be
equity in connecS< with all our rela-
tfons. want to see our human re-
sources conserved by wise and inteli
gent action. | want to see every part OF
class antagonsm vanish in the presence
of the application OF Just principles. |
want to see men knit together in COM
mon fellowship.
"There is something that precedes my
demand, however, and that is the willing
ness to abide by the results OF reason.
Ii is the demand that when we do any
thing in this country we should under
stand the way we travel, where we put
our foot down, and never surrender TO
any force of any kind. 1t is, as the flu
ture will unfold, our priceless heritage
that we have a country where intelli- |
gence reigns, where there are many OPP |
portunities of education. where we are
trying to stamp GU. every abuse working |
against our institutions.
We submit ourselves with respect to
Iur greatest concerns to the arbitrsment |
VI the public Judgment every four years.
We submit our arguments, tell what we
.hink and desire to be done. Then we
70 to the polls and express our. convic-
ions and then every American citizen,
whether he is victorious or defeated, goes
lome satisfied, and reason rules. But
he day must never come and regret to
ay we have gone very far toward that
ay, when we shall have any action un-
er pressure, instead of on considera-
ion of the facts"
Thousands of persons who sought en-
rance to the auditorium were turned
way. These Mr.. Hughes addressed at
n overflow meeting in the park outside.
Nh. Hughes was accompanied on his
rip from Louisville to Lexington by A.
. Hert, western manager of the Repub.
can national committee. Mr.. Hert said
nat no arrangements had been made for d
oldng meeting at Louisville during Z
ne 80 minutes stop which Mr.. Hughes g
rain made there and that it had been a
tanned to have but one meeting in Ken
icky, the meeting here. 1
