SCAFFOLD DROPS 16 MEN
Painters Go Down When Struct
ure Collapses Badly Hurt.
The collapse ■-: a scaffold in the train
shed of the em terminal of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, at 32d street and Eighth
avenue, hurled (teen painters to the floor,
a distance, of fifteen feet, yesterday. Six
-• the men were so seriously injured that
j they were removed 10 the New York and
! Eellek-ue hospitals. The others escaped
; with slight bruises and after medical at
; tendance were sent home.
, Those taken to th« hospitals were

The painters were finishing the inside of
j the station in ■■.■■• for its opening
■on September S. They had erected scaf
j foldd from the iron arms attached to the
I roof of th«; shed. It is ti light that » me
, time during the night a train was run
1 under the particular scaffold that coiiapsed,
i EXid that th* open ventilators on the top of
j tne cars struck one of the iron supports
j and partly dislodged it.
The painters, however, noticed nothing
; wrong and mounted the scaffolding to start
I their lay's work. No sooner ha*] all at
i tainted their - .■■.. than the structure
' gave way and they fell to the platform.
; Their cries attracted other workmen, and
; scon the police reached the place. Four

ANNEXATION DISLIKED
Russian Paper Refers to Japans
"Shameful Hypocrisy."
St. Petersbizrg, Aug. 30.— The text of the
treaty by which •he Corean kingdom was
annexed to the Empire of Japan was pub

prints a sarcastic editorial, in which Corea

swallowed, treats with the diner who al

The "Kovoe Vremya" adds that Russia's
interests in Corea are insignificant, and for
that reason Russian diplomacy will not
raise its voice in protest. The United States
and Great Britain have been hard hit, in
the opinion of the writer, who. however,
concludes that as war is the eele means of

Washington, Aug. 30.— The various reports
that the Mexican government has offered
an asylum to Dr. Madriz, ex-President of

Ricoy, Charge fl'Affairee of Mexico, who
toM the Tribune correspondent to-night
that he was at a loss to understand how

When asked why the Mexican Minister to

RAISING THE MAINE
Engineers May Report in Favor of
Towing Wreck to Sea and Scuttling It.
[From ThP Tribune Bureau. l
Washington: Au* » The army engineers
who are on the board to examine the wreck
of the old Maine, in Havana Harbor, ex
pect to complete that task and make a re
port to General William H. Bixl chief of
enilne^W; in time for th- War Department
to -end a communication to Congress In
December outlining a plan for the removal
or destruction of the wreck. From such
information as the army engineers possess
at present they are Inclined to think that
heavy ... and much labor would be
avoided by raising the wreck sufficiently to
float It and then towing it out to sea and
scuttling it. This is the practical solution
of the vexati-.us problem of disposing of
the wreck of the Maine, and the only ele
ment which enters into the situation to pre-
,nt the carrying but of that plan is the
possibility that public sentiment will not
aonrove of such a course. There are those

Wealthy Aviator Enthusiastic on
Inspection of Belmont Park.
EUROPEAN FLYERS COMING
Will Sail Around the Field Like
So Many Swallows. Says
Hubert Latham's Pupil.
Each day the sun shines a Hti - nria "-'
for these in charee of that approaching
ternationa] aviation tan teat ti cc held at
Belmont Park in October
■■■ — Harkness, the wealthy aviator of
Cleveland, who has done much flying In \
Europe under the coaching of Hubert :
Latham, went to the Belmont track early !
yesterday morning with .1. C. McCoy, of I
the Aero Corporation. Limited Mr. Hark- .
ness had zone on record as being opposed
to the change in plans that took the con- ;
test from Garden City to Belmont Park. A
few w-eeks ago he said he would not enter
the meet on that account, and he then said •
he had advised his foreign friends not to y
try for the trophy.
After a. careful taspection yesterdiy, bow
ever, Mr. Harkness changed ri- 5 |
When be saw th^> preparatl c ■ g made
for holding the international rac Mr
ness pr^-A- enthusiastic, and said to Mr
McCoy:
"Lots of fellows have «en talking
against Belmont Park, saying it would be
too mall for a good show. Why, the for- j
eigners will sail around here like m many i
swallows. I have not done any flying m j
America, but I have done a good deal of •
it abroad, and I want to say that we don't j
begin to appreciate over here how fa: those :
foreigners have progressed." |
"Can you be depended on to enter the i
elimination race?" asked Mr. McCoy.
-Absolutely." promptly replied Mr. Hark- j
ness. "I am in the game of flying:, and I j
do not intend to enter a? an amateur. As
prizes seem to be part of the game. I am j
goir.s after the prizes."
Mr. Harkness has imported two An- ,
