S BENNETT CUP Glenn H. Corliss Also Gets First Prize In Prix de la Vitesse. Curtlsa' Winnings For the Meeting Total 36,000 Franet Together With the Bennett Cup Which Goes to the Aero Club of America Inscribed With Hit Name Passenger Carry ing Contest Wat Won by Farman. Latham Gets Prize For Altitude. A twilight vision of Pait'han's grace ful nionoplnne like a great white bird soaring above the Betheny plain so high that it seemed to rise above the yellow harvest moon Just above the distant hills, and the fleeting "golden flier," as the Curtlss machine has been dubbed, smashing another world's rec ord in the prix de la Vitesse, were the c'osing glories of aviation week. The victory of Glenn H. Curtiss, the sale American representative in the contest, coming on the heels of his great victory in the international cup Saturday, gives the United States the lion's share of the honors of the meet ing. The prix de la Vitesse ot 20,000 francs ($4,000), divided into four prizes, was distributed to the four ma chines making three founds of the course, thirty kilometers, at the great est speed, the first prize belug won by Curtlss quite handily notwithstanding his penalization. Curtiss only missed winning the lap Bpeed contest from Bleriot by a 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 nings for the meeting to 38,000 francs, besides the international cup which goes to the Aero club of America in scribed with his name. As in Saturday's cup contest, an ac cident the only serious one of the meeting removed Bleriot, the Ameri can's most dangerous competitor, from Sunday's three-lap speed contest. Bleriot's escape from death was a nar row one. He had passed the first turn in the prix de la Vitesse when the rudder suddenly failed to respond. The machine turned completely over three times, landing with such force that the petrol tank burst, and catch ing fire from the hot motor, enveloped the machine and pilot in flames. The prix de l'altltuiie, J 0.000 francs, to be awarded to the aeroplanist at taining the highest altitude, was won by Latham, who reached a height of 135 meters (about 4!0 feet). Farman was second with 110 meters, Paulhan third and Rougler fourth. The passenger carrying contest was won by Farmnn. With two passen gers he made the circuit of the course In 10 minutes 30 seconds, and with one passenger ! minutes 52 4-5 sec onds. Lefebvre with one passenger completed the lap in 11 minutes 20 4-5 socends. Fprman In the prix des passengers carried two newspaper reporters, one sitting on the other's shoulders. His single paspengor was the .Marunis de Polignac, president of the committee on aviation Lefebvre carried Her bert Ward, the sculptor, who was with Stanley's rear guard In Africa. BOSS HAS TEETH SCRUBBED Alao Arrayed In Top Coat to Keep Off Fliet, She Gives More Milk. W. Kelcey Schoep, who is heavily Interested In the Metropolitan Street railway of New York city, and who owns a 150-Rcre farm in Glendale, a Chicago suburb, has purchased twenty-four coats for his $73,000 herd of Jersey cows. The two attendants, whose sole du ties are to look after the cattle, place these coverings on them every morn-1- g to protect them from flies. The teeth of each blooded Jersey are brushed three times dally. This departure In dairy farming is said to result in better health and better milk. In exchange for the tooth treat ment and coats each cow has daily produced over two gallons of milk, with a large amount of cream. IN HANDS OF RECEIVER Building and Loan Assoicatlon Em barrassed by Defalcation of Secretary. Embarrassed by the supposed defal cation of Its former secretary, William I.. Amnion, district attorney of the county, who died under mysterious circumstances Wednesday, the Stan dard Building and Loan association at York, Pa., has gone Into the hands of a receiver. The defalca tion now Is estimated at $.'0,000. The embarrassment of the loan associa tion has created consternation among Its stockholders, who are largely wage earners and who are paying lor their homes through loans loin the associ ation. MOLD IN HOP FIELDS Central New York Growers Threat ened With a Blighted Crop. With the quotations of prices soaring three times higher than the prices of last year, Central New York hop growers are threatened with a blighted crop Just when the prospects were most emouiaglng. Blue mold has heen discovered in several acres of hops in the town of Marshall, and it Is the first that has ever been seen in the hop glowing section. The mold so far has been found un the latest varieties of hops only. It leuves them practically worthless. 1,200 DEATHS FROM FLOOD Fiv Hunred Bodies Have Been Re covered at Monterey. The number of dead In Satur day's flood at Monterey, Mexico, will reach 1,200 and maybe more. The river has fallen considerably and while still high the danger Is now over. It Btopped raining Sunday. Seventeen and a half Inches of rainfall is the official record during Friday, Satur day and Sunday. Fully 13,000 people are homeless and are being cared for by the city government in the best way possible. 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 rerovered. 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 K00 peo ple on their roofs and all disappeared In the flood. In one school building on the south r.Me of the river 90 women and chil dren were drowned when the walls of the building collapsed. This was 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 prlpsts were with them In the room and while the priests were blessing the women and children the walls fell and the whole 90 were swallowed up In the flood. ADVANCE OF THE SPANIARDS Their Artillery Made Terrble Havoc 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 nmount to 3.ri0. A Spanish column has de stroyed three villages near Resting. A Moorish deserter who hail 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? filing Into a hole on Mt. Guruga. This hole Is a mass of decomposed corpses. Estimates place the number of Spauirh prisoners at 1,000. The water being doled out to the Spanish troops Is Insufficient.

Several European Delegatet Denounc ed What They Claimed to Be the Equivocal Attitude of the American Federation of Labor With Reference to Joining the International Move mentAppeal 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 Besrion of the sixth In ternational trades unions congress When several European delegates bit terly denounced what they claimed to be the equivocal attitude of the Amer ican federation with reference to Join ing the International movement. Mr. Gompers 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 ill 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'nited 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 create 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)1 attached to the cause of solidarity of labor. One obstacle In the way of afflllcation, 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 affiliation of the American Federation of Labor, but I believe it will como In time." Mr. GomperF' statement was re ceived coldly. Several delegates Jump ed to their feet to protest. Hueber, an Austrian delegate, vehemently char acterized Mr. Gompers' Explanation aa mockery. He, like the others, had been under the Impression that the Americans meant business and that Mr. Gompers was the official delegate from that 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, American workmen, you -will realize that your policies are erroneous and yon will see the necessity of Joining the International confederation." Mr. Gompers' Reply. Mr. Gompers, stinging under the re buke but unflinchingly, arose to reply. "I regret," he exclaimed, "that you have misconstrued my remarks as an attack uimii European trades union ism. I repeat we are sincerely desir ous of international federation but only so far as it preserves the Ameri can conception of unionism. If Eu rope does not want 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 international fraternity and unity." Hueber retorted that It was now sev en years since the Americans began talking about joining the international confederation nnd 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. Leglen, 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 and resolutions were adopted In sympathy with tho strikers In Sweden ' and Bnrcelona and for an appeal to Hie unionists of the world to strive for the abolition of war.
