from Death
Mineola, U. Y.. July 2!). Three bomb
ing planes, includ'ng the Martin machine;
in which Captain Roy X. Francis planned
to leave next Friday on ft transconti
nental flight were wrecked by a terrific
electric storm, which, sweeping over
Long Inland yesterday afternoon, struck
it steel hangar at Hazjehurst field and
hurled fragments of steel for a distance
of half a mile.
Sweeping along from the northwest
and passing over the spot where the Brit
ih dirigible R-34 was moored while in
the country, the slorm wrecked virtually
everything in it 3 path.
Forty temporary .vooden buildings and
"00 tents at Mitchel aviation field were
blown flaj. The stable of the Meadow
brook Hunt club and two semi-perma-nent
officers' barracks near there were
levelled and general havoc wast raided,
not only at the flying fields near here,
but in Garden City and Jamaica.
The storm, which developed into al
most a tornado, an intense as it wan
brief, struck a seven-ton Handley-Page
bombing plane, one of the machines
which wax wrecked, while 20 men were
trying to hold it down. It wa blown
half a mile across Hazlehurst field and
literally reduced to splinters. At Mitch

rolled for a distance of a mile. At Roose

frame hangars.. The northern edge of
Camp Mills was struk by lightning.

struck by a bolt of lightning, the other
mechanics having been called out ou the
field to hold down about a dozen air
planes which were ''on the line' prepar
ing to take the air before the storm ar
rived. The pair trapped in the hangar
crouched down between two of the ma

In this hangar was the Martin bomber
commanded by Captain Francis, a Cap
rona triplane, and two I)e llavilands.
The Martin and Caprona were virtually
demolished, but he smaller planes,
stored in the other end of the structure,
escaped with slight injury.
The storm broke out of a clear sky
with less than five minutes' warning. A
lightning began to flash and wind whis
tled over the flying field, soldiers and me
chanics were rushed in every direction to
stand by the planes quartered at the
various aviation centers near here. On
orders from headquarters electric trunk
wires were cut immediately to reduce the
fire menace.

CHICAGO CARS
ARE TIED UP
Street Railway Workers Re
pudiated Agreement Made
by Their Leaders
STRIKE WAS STARTED
EARLY THIS MORNING
Employes Demand a 77 Per
Cent Increase Over the
Present Wages
Chicago, July 20. -Fifteen thousand
street railway employes went on strike
for higher wage at 4 o'clock this morn
ing, completely tying tip the surface and
elevated systems of the city. The com
panies made no attempt to run cars, and
workers depended on steam railways, au
tomobiles and other vehicles to reach
their places of business.
Early last night heads of the unions
and offlcialH of the street railway compa
nies reached an agreement to fix the
wages of the men at approximately 05
cents an hour and grant an eight-hour
day with time and a half for overtime.
It was thought this action would avert a
walkout, but at a mass meeting short
ly before midnight, the men repudiated
the agreement and employes voted to
strike at 4 a. m. to-day.
The employes demanded 85 cents an
hour, an increase of 77 per cent over
present wages, an eight-hour day and
time and a half for overtime.

who was selected by counsel for the Con

ciation to stand trial on the charge of

purpose of a test. Minery opened his sa
loon to sell to an agent of the depart
ment of justice a small quantity of
whiskey. The charge was demurred to

SENATORS SHOW
THEIR CHILDISHNESS
Talk of Holding Up Treaty of Peace
Until French Treaty Is Sub
mitted to Them.
Washington, D. C, July 29. Republi
can members of the foreign relations
committee yesterday discussed in pri
vate conferences the withholding of the
French treaty by President Wilson.
Senator Brandcgee, Republican, of
Connecticut, said he intended to propose
to the committee that, upon conclusion
of the reading of the German treaty, no
further action be takeu until the French
treaty was submitted.
The Republican senators also discussed
the possibility of Senate recess. They
say that with the House in adjournment
until Sept. 9 and the president away on
his western tour, they could see no rea
son why the Senate also should not take
a recess of several weeks, if the French
treaty was not submitted.

"REVOLUTION" NOT POPULAR.
It Smacks Too Much of Bayonet and
Bloodshed to Suit British
London, July 20 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press). The word "revo-
hit ion," which foreign observers some
times apply to the present transitional
stage of British industrial and political
life, is not popular here. Revolution
savors of bayonets and bloodshed, and
the Britii-h people do not foresee nor pre
dict that. Reconstruction is the current
term even though general result of what
is being done and agitated for may, in
the opinion of other peoples, amount to
an industrial revolution.
A brief summary of the ehangeg un
der way should show that reconstruction
in Great Britain comes roughly under
two heads, the official and the unofficial.
The principal projects which the govern
ment is grappling with are these:
Nationalization of the two great basic
industries, coal mining and the railways.
Government support for Vll persons
out of work through war conditions.
Schemes for government house build
ing for workers, and land for the demo
bilized soldiers.
A colossal system of electric power
plants for manufacturing.
Increased pay for everybody in the
government service, which has already
been granted to the navy and army,
with further increases for postal and tel
egraph workers and the police. School
teachers and other classes of public ser
vants also are demanding increases.
The unofficial reconstruction calls for
higher wages and shorter working hours
for all in the organized industries. These
are being obtained partly by amicable
negotiations between employers and
workmen, hut also largely through
strikes and threats of strikes, of which
the idleness of half a million from the
cotton mills is an instance.
Proceeding simultaneously with these ;
movements and sometimes complicated
with them are political agitations which
now and then reach the point of crises.
The principal political issues are: Na
tionalization of miners, railways and
other essential industries, abandonment
of the old British free trade system for
protection (involving the question open
to endless discussion whether British
commercial prosperity has been becau-e
of free trade or handicapped by it), the
position of Ireland whose present condi
tion has come to be recognized as a mill
sUrne on the neck of the empire; and the
propoal to clear off tha war debt by a
levy on capital.
Also there i a campaign of organized
labor, backed by talk of a general strike,
for the immediate abolition of conscrip
tion, withdrawal from all interference in
Russian affairs, and bringing home the
soldiers from Russia, Ondian and Kgypt.
Anti-imperialism, the democrats call this
propaganda.

ODD KINDS OF STAMPS.
From Many Nations Are Interesting
London Stamp Collectors.
London, July 29 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press). Stamp collectors,
of which London has its full share, are
enthusiastic over the curious postage
stamps which are beginning to reach
them from the smaller European states.
One example from Lithuania is of the
first permanent issue of that country.
It has been lithographed on heavy Silu
rian gray paper, formerly used for the
printing of bread tickets.
Lettland, Lithuania's neighbor, printed
its first stamps on the backs of German
ordnance maps but these proved a little
unwieldly and now its stamps are print
ed on the flimsiest of cigarette papers.
Czecho-Slovakia stamps recently re
ceived here are simply the united arms
of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia with the
inscription "Seski-Slovenska Statni"
printed on the Magyar stamps. They
were issued -when the Czec.ho-Slovak
troops invaded Hungary.
The disputed port of Fiume has been
provided with a striking series of pic
torial stamps, apparently in anticipation
of an Italian mandate for they all bear
the words "Fiume proclaima l'annessione
all 'Italia," and the date 30-10-1918. The
four designs include the statue of Romu
lus and Remus fed by the she-wolf, the
piazza of St. Mark, an ancient Vene
tian galleon and the portrait of Dr.
Crossich. ' , ..
