Dropped Dead When Told of Murder, Norfolk, Va, July 16.—Johan Cooke, z years oid, being told that his end, Henr alker, bgen shot ahd killed Bre, dro ead. CROWD WANTED TO LYNCH HIM | a army throughout France, especial precau- tions were taken to safeguard Presi- dent Fallieries. The attempt on his life occurred on the Avéhue Des Champs Elysees, while the president was returning to the palace Longchamps, where he had reviewed the garrison of Paris, in the presence of 000 enthusiastic people. Pre- mier Clemenceau and M. Lanes, the president's secretary, were with the president in his landau, which was es- corted by a squadron of cuirassiers. The carriage had safely emerged from the Bois de Boulogne, where the anti- militarists had stationed themselves with the intention of hooting the sol- diers, and was descending the broad Champs Elysees, amid the acclama- tions of the crowds thronging the side- walks, who were shouting “Vive Fal- lieries,” “Vive I'armee,” when at the cor- ner of Lesueur street, Maille, from the curb fired two shots point blank at the president, in quick succession. Miracu- Jously no one was hit. President Fal- lieries was cool and collected when the cortege stopped. The diplomats, who were following the president’s landau, alighted from their ca and hur- ried to the side of M. eries. Find- ing that nobody had been injured, by the president's orders the cortege moved on. In the meantime two po- licemen seized Maille, who made no resistence but the police, with diffi culty, prevented the irate crowds from lynching the prisoner, until a &rdon of reserves came up and conducted him to the station. There Maille refused to give a rea- gon for his act, saying: “The revela- tions 1 have are so grave and serious that I will only make them before a magistrate for transmission to the chief of state. It is a matter between the government and me, I am the vic- tim of many villainfes.” Some of the witnesses of the shooting said that Maille fired in the air. It is believed that the man participated in the recent seamen’s strike and that his mind had been unhinged by fancied grievances. It is believed also that he aided in the revolutionary agitation of the general federation of labor and the anti-militarists. There is no reason to suspect a plot, as Mallle only ar- rived here from Rouen Saturday night. i STARVED TO DEATH IN CAR Runaway Boy Meets Awful Death at Butler, Pa. Butler, Pa., July 18.—Starvation in a Baltimore & Ohio box car, in which he had penned himself by accident, was the fate of Alexander Phillips, 14 years old, the runaway son of J. Phil- lips, of Dubois. The boy came to But- ler from Dubois last Sunday. He was urged to go home by friends of the family Monday, but instead went to the railroad yards and clambered into a box car for g night's rest. He closed the door, and when the lad tried to get out of the car he found the door fastened. Car inspectors found the body, and papers in his pockets told of his identity. The body was shipped to his home in Dubois. Woman and Son Who Shot Daughter's Betrayer Acquitted. La Plata, Md., July 13.—It took the jury in the Bowie murder trial but five minutes to decide that, in Southern Maryland at least, the “unwritten law” is the law to which the seducer must hold himself answerable. And while there was no marked demonstration when the verdict became known, there was sufficient evidence that the verdict of the jury was the verdict of the peo- ple of this section of the country. Both jury and people acquit Mrs. Mary E. Bowle and her son, Henry, of all blame for their acknowledged slaying last January of Hubert Posey, the seducer of their daughter and sister, Priscilla Bowie, who, with her fatherless child, has made a most pathetic picture in the court room during the progress of the trial. EE Auto Fall Kills Girl. Danville, Pa., July 18.—Agnes Hilda Gargen, a dancing girl belonging to the Eclipse Carnival company, was kllled by falling from an automobile. After the performance the girl, with Fred Owen in hic car, and Harry Cromwell in another car, made up a party that went to the Oak Tree hotel.

The back of her skull was fractured. Bullet Misses Judge Parker. Richmond, Va., July 16.—Judge Al- ton B.

Woman in Bath Tub Elgotrocuted. Fort Collins, Col., July 16.—S8tanding in the bath tub at her home here Mrs. Addie Davis, 35 years old, reached up to turn on the electric light.

Instead of ascending clinging to a parachute tached to a hot-air balloon and releas- able by the pulling of a string, he up in a sheet iron tube fashioned represent the barrel of a cannon. tube is suspended from the balloon. The aeronaut climbs into the sh iron receptacle head first, with a ed parachute in his hands. At the closed end of the make-believe cannon there is a powerful spring. This, when touched, propels him from the muszle with force enough to clear. As the aeronaut strikes the air and begins to descend the parachute opens—if every- thing goes without a hitch. To add to the realism of the feat there is a quantity of flashlight - der placed at the muzzle of the sheet iron receptacle. When the aercnaut is ready to cut loose he pulls a yriog and fires the powder. Then he rel the spring and is shot out into the view of the gaping thousands beneath. The flashlight powder was defective, and instead of dissolving in a puff of smoke it caught fire. Raymond did not know this, and released the spring. He shot out through a mgss of white- hot powder that stuck to his flimsy acrobat’s clothing and set him all ablaze. For some hundreds of feet he dropped like a bullet before the chute opened. His flight fanned the flames. They mounted from his waist to his head, seared his face, wiped off his eyebrows and hair, climbed up his arms to his tense hands clasping the parachute bar and played about the ropes and the flimsy parachute proper. It was up to Raymond to hang on and burn or drop and be dashed to pieces. He hung on. The pain was excruciating, but the knowledge that he was & mile or go in the air nerved his arms and strengthened his deter- mination. His only hope was to keep hold of the handle bars until he reach- ed the surface of the earth and his chief fear was that the sparks would set fire to the parachute. When 10 feet above the ground oveya vacant lot at Centre and Miller Nutley, Raymond let go. He was near the residence of H. T. Winfield, who hastened to his assistance and sum- moned an ambulance from Passaic. & si ; A WFEK'S NEWS CONDENSED Wednesday, July 10.
