VICTIM
Telegram by United Press.
Aldersliot England Aug. 7.
Co!. F. Cody the best known
aviator in England and his pas-
senger Evans were killed to-
day. The monoplane turned turtle
and crashed to Uu earth bury-
ing both in the wreckage.
Cody was an American by birth but
was a naturalized Englishman. He fell
200 feet. The monoplane was so
broken that it was impossible to learn
Mhe cause of the accident.
Aviators said it appeared to be due
i to some mechanical delect rather than
f
I a contrary air current.
Cody was a pioneer aviator and at
i one time held the cross country world's
record. It U asserted that he used
"warping wings" three years before
they were patented by tin; Wrights.
Lieut. W. E. Evans the other victim
was in the Indian civil service.

BALL POOL
The case will take a wide range
when it comes before the court it is
said and will necessarily open tip
every phase of the question as to the
validity of the acts of the lieutenant
governor during the time that he con
tends he was governor.
Attorney General West. Wednesday
sent a letter to Lieutenant Governor
McAlester stating in substance that
he would ignore his Saturday night
proclamation with reference to the
school book contracts and proceed ac-
cording to his own ideas In the litiga
tion. In the latter the attorney gen-
eral states that the governor may di-
rect the attorney general to institute
suits but after that he has no control
of such suits. It being entirely in the
hands of 'the attorney general.

from a "blind pool" a combination of

to consider his suggestions it' would
not mean intervention but probably nn
embargo on the insurgents importing
arms from this side would be raised.
One of the very grave dangers at the
present is that personal insults or vio-
ltiice might be offered to Lind that
would force the hand of the adminis-
tration and force punishment -with an
armed force of this government. It is
hoped here that Huerta will realise
this and act accordingly.

Henry HuBose returned last night
from Kr.nsas City in ti five passenger
Mitchell touring car and states that
while in Kansas he made good time
but .that as soon as he struck -Oklahoma
he was compelled lo slow down.
He left Kansas City at 6 o'clock a. m.
Tuesday and arrived here last night
at n o ClOCK.
"I ran all the way from Kansas City
to Wellington Kan. on high speed"
said Mr. DuBose "but as soon a a I
struck Oklahoma progress w as slower.
They make good roads in Kansas and
Missouri while we are talking about;
it down here. The crops are hadiy
burned in Kansas and northern Okla-
homa. Up there even the kafir is
burned."
the other morning they were treated
to an impromptu cold bath that was
as sudden as it was foreign to the
program. They came to Medicine
creek and attempted to cross. The
water looked shallow and they thought
the car couid be driven through in
safety so taking a flying start they
ttlunsfed into the creek car and all.
j but to their surprise the water was
I so deep that it enveloped part of the
jhood killed the engine and left them
j shipwrecked. Having no emergency
raft like our old friend Crusoe tliey
were compelled to wade to the shore
a much bedraggled lot. The car was
finally fished out and they proceeded
damply on their way.
