times millonalre, Lilburn Martin, pres
ident of the Oglesby Paper company,
large shareholders in the playing card

ental palace at the call of love for a
two-room Mat in Covington, Ky.
Two weeks ago she was told that
her father had bought a large paper
mill in New Hampshire and was going
to move there. She reached for a
telephone, called up George Washing
ton, who is a deputy organizer In Ken
tucky for the Order of Owls, and told
him she didn't care how poor he was.
That night they eloped and now they
are llviug In the two-room flat.

was sent to get him. Graham saw
them coming and dashed from the
hoiiRp. Three shots were fired over
his head, but when he continued to run
Policeman Scott, fired at Graham's
legs. The ball went high and struck

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,

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. The
ofllcers buy mineral waters, but this
the men cannot afford to 1o, and driv
en by their overwhelming thirst, they
have drunk stagnant local water.
Many cases of poisoning have result
ed. Already 53 men have died from
this cause and 170 have been sent to
hospitals.

MERELY
AUDTGR
Mr. Compers at International
Trades Union Congress.
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.
