In J.a?i Event of Program.
Mr. Benner's Injuries were received
about 5 o'clock while he was exhibit?
ing till string of horses from the Bel'.
Air farm. The accident occurred near
the close of the second day of the
(?how. The last event on the program
?the class for hunters and Jumpers,
free for all, best performance up to
five feet?was on. and Mr. Benner, on
his favorite mount, Sans-a-Tout, for?
merly owned by Eugene Levering, of
Baltimore, was the third entry In the
ring. The splen lid hay mare seemed
to he going badly after taking the
tirst hurdle, and the fact was com?
mented on by spectators In the Judges'
stand. The second hurdle was nego?
tiated !n fair form, but when tne third
jump?a hru?h Jump?was reached, the
big anin.al seemed to j>*ke no effort
to clear the bar. Her fore feet crashed
Into the J imp and she turned a com?
plete somersault, landing on top of
her rider, who had fallen forward, and
lay prone upon his back.
The accident occurred directly in
front of the grandstand, and women
:-hrlekeri with horror as the marc, af?
ter regaining her leet, stepped With
her hind foot on Mr. Benner's face
as he lay unconscious
Many nC those who first reached the
exgftOted to i'jnd Mr. Bfcnner's
neck broken from the sudden Impact.
Several physicians examined the In?
jured man. among them Dr: E. Lester
Jones, of Culpeper; D?.-. D. F, Weaver,
I' S.-ot:. W. J. Crll'.enden and Page,
of Orr.ngc: and Dr. "Jack" Burke, of
Alexandria, and announcement was
made that he had suffered concussion
of the brain, a broken nose and prob?
ably Internal injuries. The patient
was placed upon a stretcher, furnished
V>y the L'nlted States army officers,
who were exhibiting six of the horses
Fhown at the Olympic Show, In Lon?
don, removed to the station at Orange
und placed on Chesapeake and Ohio
train No 5, which reached Charloltes
\il\o at 7:16. He was accompanied by
I>rf. Weavers and Harri? and Joel M.
Cochran, manager of the Albemarle
Jlor.?e Show. The trip was very hard
on the patient, and he died about S:15,
an ' Mir after he reached the hospital.
An 0! '.n;l::ation showed that a double
rib wes driven Into the lung, his skull
fractured and all the ribs on his right
Fide broken. It was seen at once
that the case was hopeless, and no
operation was performed.
Mr. Bennsr was the son of John
P.enner. proprietor of the Bell-Air
Farm, near Warrenton. and one of the
most prominent farmers of Fauquior
county. The father came to Virginia
about twenty-five years ago from
Pennsylvania, and for years was man?
ager for W. H. Gratlln. .of the Pa
tapsco Guano Compv.y, Baltimore. He
accumulated enough money to pur?
chase the Rell-Air Farm, formerly
owned by "Billy" Horner, and regarded
as one of the best estates in Fau
n, ill er.
Well Known Athlete. j
The son was a student at the Uni?
versity of Virginia during the session
of '91 -"2 and took an active part In
athletics. Ho played third base on
the "Varsity" base ball team, which
that year Included such stars as
"Buck" Schley, of Maryland: Addison
and John Oreonway, of Arkansas: Lee
Thurman. of Ohio; Gibson, of Georgia,
aond Murry McGuire, "Billy" Abbot
ond Joe Winston, of Virginia "Tubby"
Benner. as he was called, was a clever'
fielder, a good batter and very fast on;
, the bases.
Mr. Benner leaves a wife and one
child. .
To-day's fatality was the second that
has occurred In the nnnals of Virglnl*
horse shows, and. by a singular coin?
cidence, both of the victims were resi?
dent? of Warrenton. The first was
Charles W. Smith, who had his back j
broken at the Norfolk show, about five
years ago Smith was riding in the^
class for pairs of Jumpers, and wns
thrown violently In taking a hurdle
Ilhe lingered about two years after
the accident, dying at his home In
Warrenton. Smith was at various
times manafcr of the Warrenton, Nor
1 folk. Albomarlo and other shows. In
the Virginia Circuit.
Hardly hnd the exctled crowd at to
. day's show recovered from the acci?
dent to Mr. Benner, perhaps the most
horrible ever witnessed at a Virginia
horse, show, before another rider came
to grief in the same class. In taking
the initial Jump, Mrs. Allen Potts'a
Splendid bay gelding. Willow King,
threw hl3 rider, Joe Ladd. The hoy
was thrown violently to the ground,
and hnd not a by-stander rushed to his
nld, the horso would have stepped
.upon him, as he lay unconscious on the
ground with the bridal clutchel in his
hand. His right collar bone ? was
i broken, and his arm badly bruised. He
v ^suffered considerably from the shock.

PROTESTS HIS LOYALTY
Cuban Revolutionist Telia Most Re?
markable* Story.
Havana. August 8.?General Acove
do. who endoavorod to start a revo?
lution Monday night, surrendered this
afternoon to Governor Asbert In the
town of Santa Maria de Rosa no. a
short distance south of Havana. In the
viciuiiy of wh'oh he had been hiding.
He was brought back to Havana and
placed In Jail to nwalt the action of
(he civil court against him. When
he arrived here Aceaved made an ex?
traordinary statement to the effect
that several days ago he was request?
ed to go to a certain place In the
vicinity of Gunnbacoa, where he met
a party of armed men, mostly negroes.
He said they threatened him with
death unless lie promised to lead them
in a movement against the govern?
ment. Having exueted this promise
the party disappeared, and Acevedo
.sii Id he was so frightened that he took
to the woods for the purpose of hid?
ing from them. He said he had never
be.-n In the vicinity of Lulano, where
Manuel Naranjo. a trucK farmer, was
murdered Monday night by a band
the authorities believed to have been
Acevedo's revolters.
Acevedo protested his loyalty to the
government, and expressed himself as
greatly relieved at being assured of
protection against the alleged revo?
lutionists, whom ho met near Guna
bacoa. Apparently, he is In the last
stages of tuberculosis, and there is
little doubt that he Is mentally de?
ranged. The government considers
Acevedo's story incredible, and regards
1 him as not being responsible for his
actions.
PROVES HIS EDUCATION

Washington. August 3.?Religion,

ture figured to-day before the Senate
Lorim'-r committee along with reputed
corruption In tbe Illinois Legislature
during the cross-examination of Chas.
A. White, confessed bribe-taker in the
Lor inter election:
White's Ideas alone; many tr-ibi^cts
were developed to Show his character
and literary ability. Whether he had
the ability to write his "conftsslona'!
has been disputed. After White hud,
told of the "Old Deities" levying on
other subjects to build the Dyrumlds,
to show he had read Roman history,
and after he had auoted bigoreoll'M
oration at his brother's grax-e I'j prove
that Ingersoll was not an athelsi. At?
torney Elbridgc Hanecy, who conduct?
ed the cross-examination for Senator
Lorlmer, took up other subjects.
To repeated ijuestlons he declared
that Sidney Yarborough was 'n his
room the night Lee O'Neill Browne
? tiled White out to get him to vote
fir Lorlmer. and not In Chicago, a?
other witnesses claimed 'li denttl

nied a conversation to similar effect
which Representative Shaw sworj lie

White admits that the lef.ers ho
wrote to Browne and Senator Lorlmer
contained "pure and simple lies."
"Anglo-Saxon lies." "hypocrisy." "falte

FLAGS TAKEN DOWN
Feared Sttir? nn,] Strlpen Would Cnune
Trouble In London, Out.
London, Ont.. August 3.?As a result
of many protests from citizens. Aider
man Mitchell, chairman of the decora?
tion committee of the London Old
Bovs' Association. to-day ordered
down all American flags which had
been Included In street decorations.
Poles along the main streets had been
?tf?ped with bunting, and on top of
eauh were four Canadian and four
American flogs, the latter being in?
cluded because many of those return?
ing to their home town for the "Old
Bovs' " celebration now are residents
and citizens of the United States. So
much feeling developed that owing to
fear that an unpleasant flag Incident
might occur It was decided to remove
the American flags.
Alderman Mitchell's action was sus?
tained by the E'art London Progressive
Association, which voted, after a warm
discussion, to write to the City Coun?
cil a letter commending the Alder?
man's decision. American citizens
here are indignant, and there is talk
of withdrawing the float which they
were going to put in the parade next
week.
NEARLY A COLLISION
Two Snbmnrlnes Narrowly Escape
Being Run Down.
Provlncetown. Mass., August 3.?Two
of tho submarines narrowly escaped
being run down by the gunooat Yank
ton during last night's sham war
tactics on the part of tne Atlantic
fleet off the Cape Cod coast. "When
the Yankton, which Is serving as a
dispatch boat, arrived In port to-day
she reported the incident.
A thick fog c.nused the war game to
be called off. and the ships were or?
dered to make for port. The Yank
ton, was proceeding slowly when the
fog it/ted for a moment and disclosed
a submarine running on tho surface
lust across the Yankton's bows. As
the Yankton swung off to avoid the
craft it headed directly upon another
submarine creeping out of tne fog
bank. A crash seemed inevitable, but
the ship's sharp prow was swung
around Hist ns the submarine slipped
by scarcely twenty feet distant. The
names of the submarines are unknown
to the men on the Yankton.

War Danger Over.
London. August 4.?The Standard
claims to have good authority for tho
statement that nil danger of a war
over Morocco haB vanished. The dis?
puted points betwoen Germany and
Franco, the newspaper says, have been
settled in principle, but detnlls still
remain to be negotiated. France u-fTt
cede to Germany territory In the
French Congo In return for a fre*
hand in Morocco, and thus there Is no
fear of Germany permanently occupy?

Chicago, 111., August 3.?Voluntarily
assuming full responsibility for the
editorial recently published !n his
weekly paper, which caused Congress?
man Underwood, of Alabama, to brand
him as a "falsifier" on the floor of the
House. William Jennings Bryan to-day
replied to the attack and declared
that he intended to give the Democratic
leader of the House an early oppor?
tunity to discuss some other things.
Mr. Bryan granted Congressman
I'nderwood's request that he make
public the Information on which the
editorial was based. He declared that
the Information on which the editorial
was founded was taken from a Wash?
ington dispatch published by an Omaha
newspaper.
"If that report Is incorrect." said
Mr. Bryan. "I take It for granted that
Mr. Underwood will read the report
before the House and deny It. If the
report Is correct, 1 have nothing to
withdraw. If it is erroneous, I shall
withdraw my criticism of Mr. Under?

the outcome In this particular instance,
I do not withdraw my criticism of
Mr. Underwood cn another occasion, and

"Yes, I read the report of Mr. Un?

to which he refers Is contained In an
editorial which I wrote n;yself. The
report on which the .'..<.>: i.'.i v?s
based." continued Mr. Bryan, "appeared
last week after the House caucus of
.luly 25. I am not sure of the exact
dale, but it was not earliep than Wed?
nesday of last week, and not later
than Sunday morning. The dispatch
from Washington said that Speaker
Clark offered a resolution, a modifica?
tion of a substitute for a resolution
by another memher. instructing the
Ways and Means Committee to proceed
with the preparation of other bills.
The dispatch staled that Mr. Clark
was supported by a number of mem?
bers, but that Representatives Under?
wood and Fitzgerald led a fight against
the resolution and defeated It.
"The report also quoted Congress?
man Kitchln as insisting upon the ln
i troductlon of a bill reducing the tariff
upon iron and steel, and quotes Mr.
Kitchln as calling attention to Mr.
Underwood's holdings in a steel com?
pany and as expressing the fear thai
in case of failure to proceed with the
reduction of the tariff on Iron and
steel, such failure might he attributed
to Mr. I'nderwood's interests In the

COTTON REVISION
BILLPUT THROUGH
Supported by All Demo?
crats and Thirty Insur?
gent Republicans.
REDUCES TARIFF
BY 21 PER CENT.
Attempt Will Be Made to Pass
Wool Measure Over Taft's
Veto, and Democrats Are
Confident It Can Be Done.
Absent Republicans Are
Being Called In.
Washington, D. C. August 3.?Sup?
ported by all the Democrats and by
thirty Insurgent Republicans, the Dem?
ocratic cotton tariff bill, the third of
the big tariff revision measures brought,
for vard by the Democratic House of.
Representatives. passed that body
early this evening by 102 to 91. The
hill cuts the average tariff on cotton
manufactured goods from 4< to 27 per
cent ad valorem, a 21 per cent, reduc?
tion in duty that the Democratic lead?
ers estimate will reduce revenues by
abi.ut 13.000,000.
Not an amendment was offered to the
bill, although the Republicans attacked
It vigorously on account of alleged n
creises in certain items ovor the rates
of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law.
Scarcely had the cheers that greeted
the passage of the cotton revision bill
subsided when Den.Oerath- Deader Un?
derwood, calling up the free list bill
as 't passed the .Senate a few days ago.
accomplished a strategic move which
surprised the Republicans. He. asked
for a conference on all the amend?
ments to the free list bill except that
of Senator Gronna, of North Dakota,
putting cement on the free list. He
urged that the Hou?e accept that
j amendment, adding lemons to It. Pa
i clflc coast Republicans made Ineffect
I ual attempts to stop this sudden and
?' unexpected putting of lemons on the
; free list, but the amendment carried.
The change gave the House Democrats
what they claimed to be an added ad?
vantage In dealing with the Senate In
the conference committee.
Cullluic Absentees In.
To-night tho Republican leaders In
both houses of Congress called In ab?
sent members from pll parts of the
country. In preparation for a threat?
ened attempt of the Democrats to pass
the wool tariff bill o<er Presidont
Taft's veto. The leaders in the House
have asserted within the last twenty
four hours that they have the neces?
sary two-thirds maj>rlty to pass the
wool bill over the President's veto, and
have been doing effective missionary
work in the Senato to-day.
The Republican managers in th.e
House insist to-night that they have
enough votes to prevent the two-thirds
maporlty in support of the wool bill.
The wool conference will start at 1ft
o'clock to-morrow morning, when tne
committees of the House and Senate,
will meet In the effort to effect a com?
promise.
It Is probable that a compromise can
be secured at one sitting of the com?
mittee, in which case tho hill will come
back to the two houses to-morrow or
Saturday.
Speaker Clark to-night appointed as
a conference committee on the free
list bill the same conferees who will
act on the wool bill?Representatives
Underwood. Ilandell. of Texas, and
Harrison, of New York. Democrats.
Payne and Dalzell, Republicans.
Bitter attarks on Democratic caucus
methods by Representative Payne, of
New Vork, and other Republican lead?
ers and a charge of Representative
Prouty. Republican Insurgent, sup?
ported by Representatives McCall, of
! Massachusetts, end Hill, of Connectl
| cut. that the Underwood bill made
enormous Increases In the tariff on cer?
tain cloth manufactured in Southern
mills, marked the closing hoofs of de?
bate on the cotton bill.
Former Speaker Cannon upheld tho
Democratic caucus policy, declaring
that "this Is a government by party
organization." while Representative
Lenroot, Republican Insurgent, ear
? nestly defended the cotton measure
I and denounced the attempts of his
j fellow Republicans to make it appear
that the bill revised any schedule up?
ward.
C'hnrges Rate Is Increased.
Representative Prouty said that
I until to-day, he had intended to sup
j oorl the cotton bill. but. figuring with
his pencil, "he found 'hat the ad va?
lorem rates on cotton cloth valued .it
between 7 and 13 cents, a type of
cloth manufactured almost entire!" in
Southern mills, had actually been in?
creased as high as 2?0 per cent, above
the Payne bill rates,
j Democratio Deader Underwood replied
that ad valorem tariff schonules had
to be fixed on an average basis, plac?
ing certain rates between two lines, top
and bottom, and that Mr. l'roity had
' picked out the single schedule under
which there was an apparent Inertere.
He said that under this schedule last
I year just $1.010 of the $700,000,000
worth of cotton goods consumed In
this, country were Imported. He claimed
that Mr. Proutv s charge was too .riv.
lal to be treated seriously.
Representative Harrison, of New
York, a member of the Ways and
Means Committee, calling tho charge
? picayunlsh and contemptible," said, "I
am not a Southern man. but I abso
lutelv repudiate the insinuations that
any sectionalism or favor has been
shown in this bill."
Representative Payne moved thai
the bill be recommitted to be noiil in
committee, until the tariff board re?
ports at the regular session in Decem?
ber. The motion was lost without
roll call. Then the bill was adopted
without amendment.

following a few warm words of wel?
come on behalf of the nation, the del?

on behalf of President. Taft, the first
brief message of welcome, and was
followed by others of the deputation
Seldom has the lower bay witnessed
so remarkable a midnight scene. The
winde ship sat up to bid tho admiral
good-by. The rails were black with
his fellow passengers as he stepped
down tile lowered stairway on tho ves?
sel's side to the waiting tugboat.
The admiral's response to his wel?

come Itself.
"Happiness Is the realization of our
anticipations," he said, in remarkably
good English, "our hopes and desires.
1 am in America, and therefore 1 am
liopuy."
The admiral smiled and shook hands
with all who had come to greet him.
I He chatted with the party on his way
j from the Lusltania to the Seneca, and
boarding the cutter, gave the Asso

I be good also for Japan "

The arrival of Admiral Togo renews
attention to the remarkable series of
naval achievements with which his
name is associated.
1: wns Togo nho commanded the
Jap.inese fleet In front of Port Arthur
when the first blow was struck against
Russia, resulting In such a serious
crippling of Russian naval strength
that her power on the sea was large?
ly diminished. If not destroyed, at the
outset. From that time forward
Togf's vessels patrolled the waters
fronting Port Arthur, hemming In the
remnant of the rtusslan fleet.
When the Russian fleet made Its
famous s.irtle under Admiral Maka
roff It was the mines laid by the fleet
of Togo which blew up the Russian
battleship Petropavlovsk. killing the
admiral In command ami a great num?
ber of others ami effectually prevent?
ing the expected relief from the Rus?
sian Ships In the Pacific. Following
this came the supreme effort of tho
Russian ?o\eminent to send a, naval
armada around the world In command
of Admiral Rojestvensky to re-estab
ll.-h the Russian naval foothold which
had been thus shaken by Togo.
It was To?o who was again sent to
stop the Rojestvensky fleet. The bat?
tle which ensued on May 27-2S. IJ05,
Was probably the greatest naval en?
gagement of modern times, in the ex
tent of destruction In men and ships
and in the decisive bearing this result
had upon the general progress of tho
war
Upon his return to Japan after tho
war Togo was made chief of staff of
the navy. He held this position until
December. 190?. when he became a
member of the military council.
