FUNERAL OF WILBUR WRIGHT.
COTTON BILL REINTRODUCED.
Democrats Again Present Measure Passed
at Extra Session and Vetoed.
Washington, June 3. Representative
Underwood, at the direcion of Demo
cratic members of the ways and means
committee, Saturday reintroduced the
cotton tariff revision bill which was
passed by the House and Senate at the
extra session of Congress and vetoed by
President Taft.
The Democrats claim the bill would
reduce the average ad valorem cotton
'duties to 27.06 per cent., as against an
ad valorem of 47. is per cent, m mil ana
48.12 in 1912. The ways and means
committee will report the bill favorably
to the House early this week.
The Democrats estimate that the reve
nues from the bill during the first year
of its operation would be about $10,500,
000, compared with $13,000,000 in 1910
and $12,300,000 in 1911. In its behalf
they claim the cost of cotton clothing to
the consumers would be reduced by $80
000,000.

After brief services at the church the

cemetery, 25 carriages comprising the
cortege. Only ' members of the family

dustry was stopped in Dayton for periods
varying from three minutes to half an
hour. Street cars and telephone service
were discontinued for three minutes be

Proprietary Medicines.
are usually the result of the wholesale
preparation of some mothers' recipe or
doctor's prescription which has been
found especially successful in relieving
the. ailments for which it is prepared,
and which has stood the test of time.
Such is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, originally prepared from
roots and herbs for female ills by Lydia
E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. For nearly
forty years it has proven a great bene
factor to the women of America in re
lieving female diseases of every nature.
Its wonderful success proves its merit.
New York, June 3. The waiters'
sirike still continues to harass hotel
keepers. It is estimated now that near
ly 5,000 waiters are out.
Three hundred struck last night in
the Empire and Navarre hotels, I'abst-t'
Harlem restaurant and the New Weston
apartment hotel.
Comparatively few diners were at the
hotels, owing to the high temperature
sending thousands to the seashore, thus
lightening the hotel men's troubles.
Six strikers were arrested Saturday
charged with rioting and fined $10. They
were warned that a repetition of the
ollense would mean a prison sentence.
The hotel men refused to arbitrate,
declaring that they would close every
city hotel rather than accede to the
strikers' demands.
It is reported that the Coney Island
waiters have organized for strike.
AVIATOR PARMALEE KILLED;
WIND UPSETS AEROPLANE
Brightest Pupil of Wright School, He
Went Up to Please a . Crowd,
Though the Conditions
Were Bad.
VnHh Ynkima. Wash.. June 3. Philip
O. Parmalee, the brightest pupil of th
late Wilbur V right in tne navigation ui
the air, was almost instantly killed here
Saturday while attempting a flight at an
aviation exhibition.
The death of Wright on Thursday at
Dayton had deeply affected Parmalee,
who was a personal pupil and beloved
protege of the aviation pioneer, but rath
er thun iliHiumoiiit the crowd which had
gathered for the widely advertised exhi
bition, he decided to take the air.
Ilia machine rose easily from a point
nr Hi irrnndstand. and although the
wind was gusty he speeded his motor and
steered his course uirecxiy away irum
fnir grounds. He had been uu about
three minutes and had traveled almost
three miles at a height of 400 feet, when
a gust ot wind sirucK rnc xnu m his
machine and stood it on head in the air.
Parmalee never had a chance to right
the machine. It plunged headforemost
to the ground, crushing the aviator in the
wreckage. When spectators lifted the
knvr machine, rarmalee was barely
breathing and expired before a surgeon
reached him.

erating two hours and a half, the jury
at Wytheville, Va., Saturday found

Irah D. Spaulding of Brattleboro, Falls
at Athol, Mass., but Is Uninjured.
Athol, Mass., June 3. Irah D. Spauld
ing, the Brattleboro (Vt.) aviator, had
n notmtr hu'im from death in an acci
dent attending a flight in his Curtis
biplane from the Athol fair grounds
about 5:30 Saturday afternoon. Spauld
irif was in the machine manufactured
by ("apt. Baldwin. He flew to the south
ami when over a lot of trees near Lake
Fllis the machine struok some dead air.
Finding that the biplane would not work
Veil, Spaulding attempted to descend.
Ho did not shut his engine off until
about 50 or 75 feet from the ground,
when the biplane almost turned over,
and in alighting, fell in the middle of a
field.
Spaulding was fortunately able to
stay on top of the machine and so did
nol" receive anv injury, but the biplane,
which is valued at from $5.0(M1 to $H.0(0,
was badly wrecked. Both planes were
broken, the engine may be injured and
it is feared the crank shaft is al-o
bioken. Spaulding made bis first flight
in Athol on Memorial day and it was
a verv successful one.
Chicago, June 3. Chicago is now the
storm centre of the nation.
Presidential nomination managers
packed their papers and personal be
longings Saturday, closing headquarters
in Washington, to centre their batteries
in this city for the big Republican show,
and other prominent politicians are al
ready on the ground. The preliminary
skirmishes for control of the Republican
national convention on June 18 will be
staged in earnest here, starting to-day.
William B. McKinley, director-general
of the Taft campaign committee, ar
rived here yesterday to take up the
light at the Congress hotel headquar
ters, which are ready for the president's
champions. The Roosevelt generals arc
to follow to-day. Senator Dixon of
Montana, the Roosevelt chief in the cam
paign field, is to come on fresli from an
interview with Col. Roosevelt. The
Roosevelt Washington headquarters also
are to be transferred to the Congress
hotel.
Republican national committeemen
will begin to drift in here about Tues
day to make ready for the bearing of
the 00 odd contests to be decided in
making up the temporary roll of the
convention. This is a bitter and all
in portant fight, as many believe con
trol of the convention rests in the con
tested seat decisions. Lawyers with
briefs bearing on the merits of the con
tests are coming to argue before the
national committee, which will sit as a
judicial body.
Taft managers are confident as ever
that Col. Roosevelt will appear on the
scene to direct hia fight personally.
They say his denials have become weak
er as tlie time for action arrives.
Senator La Follettc is coming here
and may put in an appearance next
week. He is to have headquarters in
the Crand Pacific hotel. Senator Cmn
mings, who, like La Follette, has a
block of instructed delegates, has head
quarters now in the Rector building,
where the Cummins club is camped.
La Follette and Cummins are hoping
for a deadlock and figuring on the pos
sibility of filling in as deadlock break
ers, i-ay the politicians.
Unless the program is changed, the
proceedings of the Republican national
committee on the contests over dele
gates before the committee will be open
ly conducted, something not heretofore
the rule and now loudly called for by
the Roosevelt people. This information
eomes from a member of the national
committee on the Taft side and the
decision is a very wise one, as it will
rirmit the public to know just what
happened in the committee, what were
th merits of the contests, and will de
prive Theodore Roosevelt entirely of op
portunity to say that he was robbed
of delegates by a conspiracy of national
committeemen acting in secret.
$390,000 SUITS FOR LIVES

Actions to Be Filed in Indiana and Illi
nois for Heirs of 39 Foreign Vic
tims Consults Direct
Litigation.
Laporte, Ind., June 3. Damage suits
aggregating $.f!)0,0(IO will be tiled by In
diana attorneys within a few days against
the White Star Line Steamship company
for deaths occurring in the Titanic disas
ter. The suits, which are to be started at
the instance of Bulgarian and Russian
authorities in this country, will be in
charge of Paul Glazer of (Jury, Ind., and
some of them will be filed in Indiana and
others in Chicago courts. The reason
for distributing the cases is for the pur
pose of quicker action.
Mr. Glazer said yesterday that the law
provides that damage suits in cases of
this character might be started at any
place where the defendant had an agency.
The Russian and Bulgarian consuls
in Chicago have 30 people for whom suit
will be brought, in each case the damage
asked being $10,000. One of the points
for the plaintiffs w ill be the insufficiency
of the life-Baviiig devices with whicn
the ship was equipped.
Thn mrnnnnr in nrenarintr to fieht all
cases where bodies have not been recov
ered, on the ground that there is no abso
lute proof of death.
