sider National Political
Matter.
Atlantic City. N. J, July 14.?The
Grand Lodge 01 the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks held a brief
session to-day and disposed of routine
business. An effort to get the Grand

delegates that national politics should |

With the fc'reat reception and ball
on the Million Dollar Pier to-night,
one Of the greatest and most success?

the day.
Some of the Virginia delegates will
go direct to their homes, hut a. groat

Interest in the North.
From the Virginia standpoint the j
convention has been very successful, j

proper bathing weather, with a damp

packing up took advantage of the last
opportunity of dipping In the surf. I
Several of Lv.e delegation will remain
at the resort for the balance of their

the party has lost itr identity, and
those who remain are no longer Elks,
but regular summer visitors.
HARRY IEE FIRES
AT GREWE BANKER
Exciting Incident During Meet?
ing of Town Council?Bullet
Goes Wild.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.)
Lynchbutg. Va.. July 14.?A report
reached hero to-day by a well-known
Lynchburg professional man. who was a
witness to the incident, of an affray
which happened Tuesday nisht in the
chamber of the town council of Cre*we.
when Harry Lee, Commonwealth's at?
torney for Nottowny county, is afleged
to have shot at C. E. Wilson, a banker
of Crewe, who Is ohairman of the
municipal finance committee and chair?
man of the Nottoway Republican coun?
ty committee.
The bullet went wild of Its mark
because a mutual friend struck the
arm of Lee, causing the ball to Imbed
itself In the wall. It Is said Wilson
resented a statement made to the coun?
cil by Lee. and he declared it false.
When pressed by Lee. he said he meant
I to call Lee a liar, and Lee. the recital
I goes, drew his revolver snd fired.
The council immediately adjourned
without formality, and It is understood
that a warrant was issued for Lee's
arrest.
The matter being considered by the
council when the shooting took place
was the purchase of an electric light
I plant from Councilman Wilson.

Discussed.
Washington, July 14:?For nearly six
hours to-day. Governor Charles S. De?
nsen, of Illinois, underwent, cross-ex?
amination at the hands of counsel for
Senator Lonmer, concerning the test!,
mony the Governor gave yesterday to
the Senate committee, which Is investi?
gating the election of Senator Lari?
mer. Nearly every phftEe of Illinois
politics was entered Into by Avtorney
Klbridge Hanecy, in cro.-.s-evamlnatlon
of the witness- The testimony con
! Rtitutes a history of political align
! monts In Illinois from the time Mr.
j Deneen was first elected Plate's at
! tor*ney for Cook county
Mr. Hanecy sought to show that It
! was Deneen who organized the Leg
i Islaturai during his terms as Gover
I nor and not I.orlmer. but Mr. Deneen
I was certain thut he. himself, did not
j dictate the chairman of committees,
; and that I.orlmer had attended a con?
ference "somewhere." wherein It was
? agreed to have the minority Rt-publl
, cans and Democrat! organize the House
: which voted for Lorimer.
I Mr. Hanecy sought to show that if
. fifteen Deneen men had voted for Hop.
kins on the first day's balloting for
Senator, Hopkins would have been
[ elected Mr- Deneen was not willing
, to sayy that all these fifteen were full
ftedged Deneen men.
"Hopkins rcelved sixty-one votes In
the House." declared Mr. Hanecy, "and
these fifteen more would have made
seventy-Six, and these would have been
enough to have elected him. for you
say he had a majority In the Senate." ?
"Well, sixty-one and fifteen make
Be"yenty-*lx," responded Governor De
i nee-r.. "That far you arc- correct- Your
addition Is correct, but your conclu
I slon is wrong. He would have been
i elected had the sixty-one not changed
I their votes, but they would have
1 changed."
I Mr. Hanecy read from Mr. Deneen's
testimony yesterday. He said his
friends regarded Hopklns's election
! certain until the gubernatorial clec
I tion contest was settled, and asked if
I the witness had these fifteen men In
mind when he so testified,
j Mr Deneen said he had In mind Sen?
ator Jones, Representatives Hull.
Brady and others Interested in his
refo-.-rr.s.
Mr Deneen could not recall, he said,
exactly when his friends decided or
flr-?t discussed the question of post?
poning the election of Hopkins, but
said he felt It was some time after the
I balloting for Senator had begun.
"I didn't have a stop iMock. a diary
or a phonograph."* declared the Gov?
ernor, when pressed for a more defi?
nite answer.
The witness explained that all that
was done to postpone Hopklr.s's elec?
tion was to have about ten men vote
for FYiss. On the last ballot, he said,
they returned to Hopkins.

set his own figure on their worth. The
practice- which he has followed for
years, thoy assert, he now denies to
Dr. Wiley, whose motives were to em?

laboratory of th? Bureau of Chemistry.
Tho cases were filed hy Joseph T.
Lynch, a stenographer, who Is now on

Some of Lynch's allegations which
were Investigated by Agent Cronln
to-day were to the effect that Dr.

that the government paid for but did
not receive: that government materials
are r.sed for private purposes: that

BUD MARS PROBABLY
IS FATALLY INJURED
BUD MARS, WEIL KNOWN AVIATOIL
Loses Control of Aeroplane Dur?
ing Flight and Crashes to
Ground From Height of
Several Hundred Feet.
Erie, Pa.. July H.?Bud Mars, well
known American aviator, probably was
fatally injured here shortly after 5
o'clock this afternoon, when he lost
control of his aeroplane during a Itlght
and crashed from a height of several
hundred feet to the ground. The heavy
biplane dropped On top of him. His
injuries aro of such a nature, it is
said, that there is practically no hope
for his recovery.
The aviator's wife witnessed the ac
i cidc-nt, and to-night her condition Is
serious, duo to the shock.
Mars was in the air for the second
time when the accident occurred. Sev?
eral thousand spectators were watch?
ing him. He circled the field a num?
ber of times at a height of several
hundred feet. Suddenly the machine
made a dip downward, and M?? made
an attempt to regain control of the
machine. It was a futile attempt, how?
ever, and an instant later, the biplane
struck the ground The machine was
completely wrecked, and Mars lay un?
der it. He was covered with blood,
and at first it was believed ho was
dead. Mars was carried \d an im?
provised :ield hospital. Tho serious
nature of Mart's injuries was evident,
and he was rushed to a hospital.
To-night Mars's physician issued a
statement saving that the aviator's
chest was badly injured; that b,o "ad
V-istoined concussion of the brain
and suffered Internal injuries, while he
la bruised from head to foot.
The aviation meet here was given
under the auspices of a local news?
paper Mars started the second flight
a few minutes before 5 o'clock. He
had not been in the air long when, for
seme reason, he started to descend.

on St. Jullen's Creek are not over
-worked and that they are not required
to handle explosives with such rapidity
as to endanger life or make hazardous
I explosives when placed aboard Amer
i lean warships was the testimony given
to-day by Quartermaster Knox and a
number of mechanics employed at the
magazine, who took the stand In de?
fense of Lieutenant-Commander Allen

under Investigation, as the result of
charges preferred by former employes
and others claiming that Commander
Coolc makes ths men work too hard.
The only Incident in which there was
the charge of use of governmont mate?
rial and time for private purposes
came out In the testimony of J. M.
Hart.
There proved to be nothing upon
which to base this, except the fact that
when Been Greet playors performed at
Port Norfolk, where Commander Cook
lives, an extra watchman was placed
on duty to guard government property,
with a large crowd on tho reservation.
A question arose during the investi?
gation to-day as to whether during
tho approach of an electrical atorm it
was wisest to hasten the transfer of
The machine shot downward with ter?
rific velocity.
The amazed spectators stood still for
a moment. Thero was a scream, and
Mrs. Mars, the aviator's wife, rushed
toward the wrecked machine. Before
she reached her husband's side, how?
ever, she .vas overcome with grief,
and was curried from the held.
Many Daring Fentn.
New York. July 14.?James C Mars
has many daring feats of the air to
his credit, and in one respect his
record is unique. He is the first
American aviator, if not the only one
of any nationality, to have made what
was practically a globe enc'rcling
tour. Mars left San Francisco In De
cumber, and returned to New York
last month, laden with trophies and a
log book of over 250 successful nights
In the Orient. He flew in Honolulu,
Manila. Sumatra, Japan. Java, Korea.
Siberia, Russia and other out-of-the
way places, and on one occasion had
a royal passenger?the King of Slam?
on a twelve-mile flight. In this coun?
try he has appeared at times In every
aviation centre, from coast to coast,
and has had a most varied career. At
the age of fifteen years, ho learned
parachute jumping as a pupil of Cap?
tain Thomas Baldwin, and his career
includes circus riding, lion taming,
high diving and ballooning. He first
learned to fly with Curtlss, and In his
second day's lesson ho made twenty
five tllghts. At Memphis he once
crashed down on top of an automo?
bile, and was laid up for ten days with
painful Injuries. If Mars's accident to?
day terminates in death, his will be
the seventy-fifth life known to have
been lost by aviation accidents since
the first was recorded In the death of

Pertinent Comment
BY GUS MALBERT
No use repining over the loss of the
game yesterday. Ito out of three Is
good enough, and if the series Is cap?
tured by a double win to-day, It will
be all that can he expected. The game
was lost yesterday because Johnny
Verbout was not up to his boat form.
He was hit hard, while Bruckmiller
seems to have the number of the Colts.
If he hasn't, he gives a mighty good
Imitation, for he is unltormly success?
ful in winning- Hamilton and Han
nifain will pirobably be up against
Revelle and Pierce. Even though tho
game was lost, there was no quitting,
and every man went after everything
in sight.
Pity that Baker had to pile up three
errors. He has been playing such good
hall that even when he makes mis
plays the crow 1 sympathizes with him
rather than blames him. Verbout for.
got himself, elso he would not have
made his error. Simmons had the
throw, oven If it had been perfect,
beaten, and there was no need to take
a chance. One run was scored, and
the way paved for another by the
heave.
At em to-day, follows, and by win?
ing double we can catch Roanoke, If
Norfolk will only win. But the Goob?
ers present a mighty formidable ap?
pearance with those new faces. Mc?
Carthy did well in centre, while Sim?
mons showed up to better advantage
than In his previous ? games. Eaton,
in right, did all that was asked of him.
Two hits will not win a game, and
that more than anything else tells the
story of the defeat. However, better
luck Is in store for the Colts. The
material is there, and certainly no man
is working harder than Georgo Cowan
to get all possible out of the material.
And, what is more, thu fellows, them?
selves, are willing to help, and are
helping. One defeat doesn'- mean any?
thing, so long as the club is going
good and trying.
Returning to Georgo Cowan, he
caught a great game yesterday. Every?
thing which came his way was grabbed
with a celerity which was gratifying
to the fans. Dobson at first base 1?
another member of tho team who is
working all of tho time. His catch of
Booe's line drive in the lirst lnntng
saved at least a double, and It might
have been a triple as the ball was
traveling mighty fast. He stabbed it
with his gloved hand and no damage
resulted. In fact, If one is inclined to
throw bouquets, every man in the toani
deserves mention, for Martin and Mc
Cabe and Maitis and Wallace are all
doing yeoman service.
It might appear wrong to be contlnu-1
ally harping on one subject, but that
other pitcher Is needed and needed'
badly. It Is the ono weak spot on the'
team which should bo strengthened as
soon as possible. Of course, It's a hard
Job getting tho right kind of man,
but there should be no let up until the
Hlnger is landed
Keliher. of the Goobers, is one of the
hardest hitters in any minor league.
He has a healthy swing at the ball,
and instead of pulling as do most of
the youngsters, he walks into the ball,
getting the best of the breaks. He got
three hits yesterday out of five tripe,
with a double and a triple among the
three.
Simmons got two hits and played .1
nice fielding gome. Evidently some
-*4m?,s first Impressions are misleading.
Indeed, If the Goobers go the pace they
hold yesterday, it Is g?lng to ba a hard
Job stopping them. *
Ty. Cobb needs no newspaper boost?
ing to help him. hut how In the name
of common sense can you keep from
mentioning him if he keeps on doing
the things he is doing dally. When a
fellow scores from second" on. a sacri?
fice fly, and then steals second and third
and homo, and flnully scores from first
on a short hit, ho is doing things never
hefore heard of In baseball. The Geor?
gian Is head and shoulders above any?
body now In the game, and his work
in tho Detroit-Athletic series, which
went to the Tigers, helped wonderful?
ly to establish nil club in first place.
Tho Fhlllies now lead tho National
League race. New York Is behind, not
having played yesterday, with the Cuba
trailing in third. Flipping a coin la
as good as any way to guess who la
who.
