AIRSHIP MEETS FAILURES
Promoters Lose Heavily at
Rheims — Causes Advanced.
Paris, Aug. 6.— The failure of most of
the aviation meetings this summer has
proved a great disappointment to promot
ers. After the tremendous success of the
flights at Rheims lest year, hundreds of
meetings were organized in «very country
i~! Europe, and even in Egypt. Beginning
with the winter meets along the Riviera,
these meetings have continued week after
week in almost every large city in France.
In almost every case the promoters have
In*:! money.
Even Rheims. with the prestige of last
year and a long series of broken records
this summer, was a financial failure, the
loss rea-ching SfiQ/00. Those identified with
aeronautics place the blame, not on flas:-
J....J- interest, but on the spirit of com
merciaJism with which the sport la being
■exploited. Aeroplane flight made such a
vivid appeal to the imagination thai pro
moters offered large purses and paid great
sums to obtain the presence of a few
French experts whose exploits had aston
ished the world. Men like Paulhan, who
fourteen months ago earned 525 a month
as a mechanician, suddenly began demand
ing and getting from $15,000 to IS.9M. Every
pilot, whether experienced or not, wanted
♦o excel his rival in sensational exploits
in order to get more money, and that was
the cause of several of the fatal accidents
which have marred the meetings.
The impression in France is that next
year there will not be one meeting, where
there were thirty this y«»ar. Those Inter
ested "in the real development of flying: be
lieve, however, that this will be an ad
vantage rather than a drawback- It will,
they think, tend to check the recklessness
of professionals, and compel manufacturers
to devote themselves to the perfect of
machines within safety limits. Already
-■-•- realize that the future for aeroplanes
is in their pra^ti^il utility, and not in
their employment in sporting- exhibitions,
and that improvements must b<? along those
lines.

Kielot was smoking on his way from

POPE'S VIEWS ON SPAIN
Expects the Cortes to Oust the
Premier at Its Next Session.
SUPPORT FOR THE VATICAN
Many Telegrams from All Parts
of Kingdom-Rumors of Envoy
from Rome to Madrid.
Rome, Augr. 14. — The Pope, .speaking
with reference to the Spanish question
in the course of an audience which he
pave to a prominent official recently,
said that the events in Spain and the
efforts of the anti-Clericals, supported
by irreligious forces abroad, had caused
him much affliction, but at the same
time had afforded an opportunity for a
splendid demonstration of loyalty and
devotion to the Church and the Pontiff
himself from the Spanish people, who
are by tradition Catholics.
The Pope added that addresses, tele
grams and letters had been received
from every part of Spain assuring the
Holy See of complete support, while the
discipline and strength of the clergy and
their harmony with the episcopacy were
above praise. The Pope concluded with
the hope that this time the good cause
would triumph, as the situation ap
peared so favorable to the Church that
unless some great change occurred it
■would probably not be necessary even
to answer the Jast note from Premier
Canalejas, but merely await the reopen
ing; of the Cortes, when the majority
would dispose of the Premier, who had
betrayed the Spanish nation.
The Clerical organ, "Corriere d'ltalia."
publishes a note, inspired by the Papal
Secretary of State, denying the state
ment made yesterday by the "Giornale
d'ltalia" that a monsignor attached to
the department of the Papal Secretary
had started for Spain to meet a repre
sentative of the Spanish government,
and pointing out that such -a confiden
tial mission was unnecessary, as all
communications on the subject of the
religious controversy were .sent, regu
larly through the Spanish Embassy here.
The "Gtornale d'ltalia," however, re
iterates the statement, adding that the
envoy is Monsignor Benlgni. Under Sec
rotary of State In th* Vatican.
The "Osservatore Romano" points out
the bad taste displayed by Premier
Canalejas in showing- satisfaction at re
ceiving congratulations from abroad,
which are nothing more or less than
foreign Interference in the internal af
fairs of Spain. These congratulations,
says the paper, will not prevent the just
protest of the nation against the anti-
Clerical policy of th" government, legiti
matize what is not legitimate, or cause
the people to forget that Premier ''ana
lejas has violated the constitution by
the issuance of a decree relating: to non-
Catholic worship, abused his power by
forbidding Catholic manifestations and
failed to observe the rule? of diplomacy
in dealing with the Vatican. The paper
publishes three columns of protests from
all parts of Spain.
Pan .Sebastian, Spain, Aug. 14. — Mon
signor Vico, Papal Nuncio at Madrid,
has asked for an Interview with the
Queen Mother, through the Foreign Min
ister. Senor Prietro, thus adhering:
strictly to diplomatic etiquette.
SHOT BY DISMISSED LOVER
jYonkers Girl Badly Wounded —
| Brooklyn Man Held.
Ida Martens was shot and probably fatal
: ly wounded early yesterday morning- by the
• young man to whom sh<» had been engaged
to be married. The shooting followed a
quarrel. Emmet Simp.non. who has a wire
frame manufacturing business at No. 1596
Bushwick avenue, Brooklyn, is held in the
Yonkers city prison to await the outcome
of the young woman's injuries.
; Miss Martens lives at the home of her
father, A. H. Martens, on the Tuckahoo
Road. Simpson and Miss Martens had
some trouble a week ago, but on Saturday
about noon Simpson called at the horn** of
the girl and they went off together. They
returned on the theatre train on the Har
lem Railroad and alighted at Tuckahoe.
It appears that the old quarrel was re- !
newed and Miss Martens gave Simpson !
back his diamond ring and a diamond
brooch. Then, standing in front of her
father's house, the young woman told
Simpson that she would not marry him.
He drew a .22-calibre revolver and- fired at i
her. The first bullet entered her right
cheek and emerged through her mouth.
The second bullet hit her at the base of
the skull and passed out through the scalp
at the top of the head. Her skull was j
fractured.
The Bhot brought Mr. Martens to the door ,
and the girl dropped unconscious at his
feet. Simpson Red and later surrendered
himself at the Rronxville sub-station of the ;
Yonkers Police Headquarters.
Dr. O. L. Austin, of Tuckahoe. was called
and attended the injured girL He said last

her life.

FREIGHT RATE HEARINGS
Interstate Commission to Open
Session in New York To-day.
CARRIERS ASK BIG ADVANCE
Will Average 16 Per Cent —
Operating Expenses Have In
creased Greatly, They Say.
Washing ton, Aug. 14. -Increase? m
freight rate? aggregating, according to
estimates made by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. 5000.000,000 annually in
official classification territory— that part of
the country north of the Ohio and Potomac
and east of the Mississippi River— will be
considered at a hearing to be begun to
morrow morning in the Custom House in
New York Cit3'.
The likelihood it* that the formal hearing
of the evidence in the case, the most im
portant to the people that the Interstate
Commerce Commission has yet undertaken.
will be postponed until a later date, prob
ably September 7. because the railroads
are not fully prepared to proceed. The
tariffs involved have been postponed until
November 1. Meantime. th<» existing rate?
are in effect. It will make no difference
to the commission, therefore, whether the
roads are prepared to go on with the hear
ing or not. Such -delay as may result from
postponements ■will operate again** the
railroads.
According to unofficial figures made by
the commission, the advances shown by the
tariffs filed by the lines in classification
territory averaged about 16 per cent over
existing rates. The increases apply to both
class and commodity rates. Taking the
present volume of traffic as a basis, an in
crease of 16 per cent would amount to an
advance for all the railroads in the entire
territory of approximately $500,000,000 a
year.
This advance Is distributed among 41* dif
1 ferent transportation lines, being an aver
age of something more than J1.000.000 a year
each. Of course, the total amount of in
crease will be distributed proportionately
to the tonnage of freight handled by the
various roads, the Increases In the. rates
being substantially the pa.rr.e in all cases.
Reports received by th» commission indi
cate, by an analysis, that the increases in
operating expenses of the roads during the
last ten years have been very heavy. The
greatest single item of increase is In the
cost of labor, which is estimated to be
about 40 per cent of the expense of opera
tion. In classification territory the. increase
In the cost of Jabot, according to the re
ports, has aggregated, during the last de
cade, about $so,<vin.orto a year, approximate
ly 540.000.000 a year having been added dur
ing the last few months. Every other item
of expense of operation has increased dur
ing the last decade, so that, in the mat
of operation alone, the railroads of classi
fication territory fire paying out nearly
008,00D.0W a year more than they paid out
ten years ago.
It will be necessary for th» railroads
under the existing law to justify their ad
vances by affirmative proof of their ne
cessity. Tn other words, the burden of
proof of the reasonableness of th« Increases
will rest on the. carriers. It is the purpose
of the commission to take a purely Judicial
view of the questions presented. It will
act in no sense as a prosecutor of the
railroads. It will be represented at the
(leering by one of its examiners, Frank
I. yon. who will endeavor to develop any
testimony that may tend to throw light on
disputed points. The great shipping or
ganizations will be represented by J. H.
Atwood, of Kansas City, and Francis B.
James, of Cincinnati. The railroads will
be represented by their genera! counsel,
the big systems, like the Pennsylvania, the
New York Central, the Erie and the Bal
timore & Ohio, taking the burden of the
work.
The testimony will be heard by Judge G.
N. Brown, chief examiner for the commis
sion.
BELIEVES MAN WAS MURDERED
Edgewater Police Chief Trying to Clear
Up Mystery of Youth Found in River.
Hackensack, N J ., A;:b. 14.— Police chief
• VBrien. of Kdg*»water. who is aidixig Coro-
I ncr W. E. Tracy to clear up the mystery
I surrounding the discovery of a young man
in fh^ Hudson River, near the old Fort T^e
steamboat landing, with a bullet wound in
bis h<*ad, said to-night that there were two j
or three circumstances in connection with
the case that caused him. to doubt the bul
cide theory. In the first place, the wound
is directly in the centre of the forehead. '
Chief O'Brien believes that, as the wound!
no doubt caused instant death, th«> revol- \
v*>r would have remained in his hand or j
fallen near by. The revolver cannot be ,
found. Two of Chief O'Brien's policemen i
searched for it all day. even digging up the j
sand and gravel near the bank where the !
man's body -was found.
O'Brien believes that Johji Lasher,
ten years old, was truthful when he told j
Coroner Tracy that on Friday afternoon he :
saw a man lying in a clump of bushes |
about three hundred feet from the place
where the body was discovered on Satur
day afternoon.
"I cajinot understand how the body, could
have been moved this r!istanc<\ for I am
positive the man n*>ver moved after shot in
riie bead," said O'Brien. "The fact that
ihp maker's name inside the coal was torn
off does not help me conclude that the man

STRUGGLE IN CALIFORNIA
Heavy Republican Registration
Upsets Primary Predictions.
San Francisco, Aug. 14.— A very heavy
registration has upset early calculations as
to the outcome of the state-wide primary
election, which takes place in California
on Tuesday. The unexpectedly large reg
istration Indicates, it is said, a Republican
vote in excess of that east in the general
I election two years ago. Undoubtedly some
| thousands of Democrats have registered as
' Republicans for the primary, because of
I the few contests to be decided within their
own party.
With Theodore Bell unopposed for the
Democratic nomination for Governor and
few contests below that office on the Demo
cratic ballot, the interest of that party was
centred mainly on local contests.
Five governorship candidates will appeal
for the suffrages of Republican voters —
Hiram M. Johnson, Charles F. Curry, Alden
Anderson, P. A. Stanton and Nathaniel
Ellery. Johnson has the Indorsement of
the Lincoln-Roosevelt r^ague, as the in
surgent faction is designated, while the
four others will divide the votes of the]
i Stalwarts.
Second In interest only to the governor
ship race are contests in several Congress
districts. Must notable of these i.-< that in
the 2d District, where William Kent, in-
Burgent, is making the race against Dun
can McKinlay, the present Representative
from this district. Glftord F > inchot spent
some weeks campaigning '■■'■ behalf of Kent.
Three Candida ■ are appealing for th«
Republican advisory vote for United State*
Senator— John D Works and E. A. M. -
serve, of Loa Angeles, and A. G. Spalding,
of Han Diego. Works has the indorsement
of the Lincoln Roosevelt League and has
been making: bis campaign on an insurgent
platform Meserve. an attorney, and Spald
iitg, a wealthy manufacturer, will divide
the Stalwart support.

RIGHTS OF THE INDIAN
Perplexing Questions for U. S.
Supreme Court to Decide.
Washington, Aug. 11.-With the rights of
lome thirty thousand Indians in Question,
i the Supreme Court of the United States
will begin consideration, probably dunns
: the flT?t week of the approaching term, of
; some of the most perplexing problems aris-
I ing out of the relation of the United tftates
•to its wards. Among these are questions ot
I citizenship and of authority over the lands
| of the individual Indians.
In 1902 Congress passed an act for tae
allotment to the Individual Indians of the
Cherokee tribal land in Oklahoma. One,
f restriction «as laid on the bind "Lands
! allotted to i [(fawns shall not in any man-
I ncr whatever or at any time be incum- j
bered. taken or sold to secure or satisfy j
: any debt or obligation or be alienated by ;
; the allottee or his heirs before the e.xpi-j
ration of five years from Hie date of the
ratification of this act"
In 1904 Congress authorized the Secretary
of the Interior to gram right of way for
oil and sras pipe I in- through the land's
thus allotted to the Indiana, In 1000 the
five-year restriction imposed in 1902 was
extended to twenty-five years. The con
; stitutionality of the acts of ICnM and 1906
was questioned, and Congress authonzc.i
two Indians. William Brown and Uviß
Gritts to bring .suit to test the laws. Trie
Court of Claims held the laws to be consti
tutional. An appeal was taken to the Su
preme Court. ,
On account of the importance of tne ca.-e
the court set it for argument on tin open-
I ing day of the coming October term ■- at
soon thereafter as is possible.
Judge Howry, for the minority of the
Court of Claims, pointed out that £b« Ind
ians had been made citizens of the United
States prior to the allotment.
••'When th. land was granted." he said,
"the character of the title allotted to the"
full bloods was th« same as if allotted to
other citizens. The one became as unqual
ified as the title of the other, and any at
tempt to differentiate between the fees so I
held can be sustained only upon the theory i
that th« Indian can never acquire such a :
right to land as the government is bound
to respect."
Judge Howry 'eld that th* Indian could
acquire rights the government must re
spect, and pronounced the riebi of way act
and the twenty-live year alienation act
unconstitutional. The majority of the court,
headed by Chief Justice Peele, held the ;
laws constitutional. , !
The reversal of the decision of the Court
of Claims would allow the Indiana t«> sell i
their lands, worth millions of dollars at [
this time, as the five years lor.g ago ex- }
plred. While the Cherokee i.m ire imme- |
diately concerned, it is generally under- j
stood the decision will affect the" land > of
thrt four other tribes which held land in .
the old Indian Territory.
