Latham Gets Prize For Altitude.
A twilight vision of Pau'han's grace
ful monoplane like a great white bird
soaring above the Betheny plain bo
high that It seemed to rise above the
yellow harvest moon Just above the
distant hills, and the fleeting "golden
flier," as the Curtiss machine has been
dubbed, smashing another world's rec
ord in the prix de la Vitesse, were the
e'osing glories of aviation week.
The victory of Glenn H. Curtiss, the
sole American representative in the
contest, coming on the heels ot his
great victory in the International cup
Saturday, gives the United States the
lion's share of the honors ot the meet

francs ($4,000), divided into four
prizes, was distributed to the four ma
chines making three found of the

Curtiss quite handily notwithstanding
his penalization.
Curtiss only missed winning the

small margin. He captured second
place in that event, which was over
the full circuit of ten kilometers or
6.21 miles, raising his total money win

1,200 DEATHS FROM FLOOD
Five Hunred Bodies Have Been Re
covered at Monterey.
The number of dead In Satur
day's flood ul Monterey, Mexico,
will reach 1,200 and maybe more.
The river has fallen considerably and
while still high the danger Is now over.
It stopped raining Sunday. Seventeen
and a half inches of rainfall Is the
official record during Friday, Satur
day and Sunday.
Fully 15,000 people are homeless
and are being cared for by the city
government in the best way jiossible.
At noon 5,000 people were given bread,
coffee and soup at the municipal offi
ces, but there are many more on the
south side of the river still out of
reach of aid because the river Is still
at flood stage. Conservative esti
mates of the property loss place the
figures at $20,000,000.
At least 500 bodies were recovered.
The greatest loss of life occurred Sat
urday morning between the hours of
9 and 11 o'clock when the large build
ings on the south side of the river
commenced to crumble and fall. Many
of the houses had from 100 to 9.00 peo
ple on their roofs and all disappeared
In the flood.
In one school building on the south
r.Ide of 1he river 90 women and chil
dren were drowned when the walls of
tho building collapsed. This wus one
of the most pathetic Incidents of the
flood. The women and children had
run to the school for safety, but the
water having reached there, drove
them from room to room until they
were all clustered in one room. Two
priests were with them in the room
and while the priests were blessing
the women and children the walls fell
and the whole HO were swallowed up in
the flood.
ADVANCE OF THE SPANIARDS

Among the Moors.
Dispatches from Melllla, Morocco
say fighting Is general on the Moroccan
coast. The new Spanish artillery has
wrought havoc among the Moors, who
have lost 1.000 men In the last three
days. The Spanish casualties amount
to 350. A Spanish column lias de
stroyed three villages near Hestlnga,
A Moorish deserter who has come
Into the Spanish lines declares that
the Spanish prisoners are being
tortured and mutilated. They are
then decapitated by their captors and
their dead bodle? (lung into a hole on
Mt. Gurugn. This hole Is a mass of
decomposed corpse.!. Estimates place
the number of Spanirh prisoners at
1,00'),
The water being doled out to the
Spanish troops is insufficient. The
ofl'eers buy mineral waters, but this
the men cannot afford to In, and driv
en by their overwhelming thirst, they
have drunk stagnant local water.
Many cases of poisoning have result
ed. Already 5: men have died from
this muse and 170 have been sent to
hospitals.

MERELY
AUDITOR
Mr. Compers at International
Trades Union Congress.
Several European Delegate Denounc
ed What They Claimed to Be the
Equivocal Attitude of the American
Federation of Labor With Reference
to Joining the International Move
ment Appeal to Unionists to Strive
For Abolition of War.
Paris, Aug. 31. Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, was the dramatic center of
the first day's sesrlon of the sixth In
ternational trades unions congress
when several European delegates bit
terly denounced what they claimed to
tie tho equivocal attitude of the Amer
ican federation with reference to Join
ing the International movement.
Mr. Compers needed all his old-time
energy to repel the attack. He Insist
ed that the problems and policies of
American trades unionism were so In
termingled with American traditions
and ideas that. Americans could 111
spare the time to encounter the Influ
ence of European leaders, where the
trades unionism tendencies were tem
peramentally different.
Nevertheless, as an evidence that
the I'nlted States was anxious for In
ternational co-operation Mr. Gompers
Introduced a resolution proposing a
world-wide organization which would
"defend the rights and interests of all
and rreate International fraternity and
solidarity."
Exact Status of Mr. Gompers.
The clash came over the question of
the exact status of Mr. Gompers and
the American Federation of Labor In
the conference. Mr. Gompers ex
plained that for the present he was
merely an auditor but was ready to
give his opinions. It had been the
aspiration of the American workmen
to come Into closer contact with the
labor movement In Europe as they
were profundi)' attached to the cause
of solidarity of labor. One obstacle In
the way of adillcation, he said, was the
feeling that antagonism existed In Eu
rope towards American trades union
ism. Moreover, It was feared that
the American workmen might be com
pelled to subordinate their policies to
those of men knowing little or nothing
about American Industrial conditions
and problems.
"Personally," he continued, "I have
no authority to pledge the afllllntion of
the American Federation of Labor, but
I believe It will come In time."
Mr. Compere' statement was re
ceived coldly. Several delegates Jump
ed to their feet to protest. Hueber,
an Austrian delegate, vehemently char
acterized Mr. Gompers" explanation as
mockery. He, like the others, had
been tinder the impression that the
Americans meant business and that
Mr. Gompers was the officlnl delegate
from thnt country. Otherwise he
could not understand how the Ameri
can resolutions happened to be printed
In the official program.
"We thank you for your opinions,"
he said pointedly, "but we do not need
them. Your policies may not permit
you to- come 'to us, but one day,
Amerlcnn workmen, you will realize
that your policies are erroneous and
you will see the necessity of Joining
the International confederation."
Mr. Gompers' Reply.
Mr. dumpers, stinging under the re
buke but unflinchingly, arose to reply.
"I regret," he exclaimed, "that, you
have misconstrued my remarks as an
attack uiKii. European trades union
ism. I repeat we are sincerely desir
ous of International federation but
only so fnr as It preserves the Ameri
can conception of unionism. If Eu
rope does not -.vant us It will be un
fortunate. Nevertheless, we will con
tinue to do everything possible to at
tain the goal for which the human race
is struggling internal ional fraternity
and unity."
Hueber retorted that It was now sev
en years since the Americans began
talking about Joining the International
confederation and It was about time a
decision was reached. "It now ap
pears," he concluded, "that Mr. Gomp
ers l;i merely on a voyage of discov
ery." M. Legion, the International secre
tary, ended the controversy with the
statement that Mr. Gompers was only
a guest but he hoped that that, official
was convinced that the moment had
arrived for the American Federation
of Labor to Join forces with their Eu
ropean brethren. The regular busi
ness of the conference was then re
sumed nnd resolutions were adopted In
sympathy with the strikers In Sweden
nnd Barcelona and for nn appeal to
Hie unionists of the world to strive
for the abolition of war.
