French Aviator Reaches Height of
Nearly 3600 Feet,
MOTTRMFilvON. France, Jan. 7. All
record for height attained In a heavier-than-alr
machine were eclipsed today by
Hubert Latham, Freanch aviator. The
height reached was between 1060 and
1100 metres (.between 340 Oand 3600 feet),
which is nearly 2000 feet better than the
record preivously held by Latham offi
cially, and is considerably better than
the marks made unofficially by Orville
"vVrlght and Louis Paulhan.
Kxcellent weather and a favorable wind
aided Latham's attempt. His machine
rose gracefully and on each turn of the
course mounted higher and higher until
it became a speck in the sky. In all,
the aviator flew 40 miles and, when he
descended, was enthusiastically greeted
by the spectators.

DOZEN GRAVES FILLED
DEAD OF MAJRQIJEZ FAMILY
BURIED AT SAME TIME.
Scientific Men Kow Doubt That 15
Cases or Illness, 12 of Which
Fatal, Caused by Ptomaines.
SAJ5TA MONICA. CaL. Jan. 7 With
the burial today of 12 descendants of
he pioneer Marquez family, the last
beinj? a nursing baby, who died of
ptomaine poisoning following the eat
ing of tainted pears at a family re
union last Sunday, the final chapter
in the tragedy was enacted. ' The
bodies were borne to the Sawtelle
Cemetery by eight hearses and interred
in a row of graves In the Marquez
plot.
Much interest centers in the infant
daughters of two of the dead women,
the little ones having developed symp
toms of poisoning In the last two days.
Both are babes In arms, and it is feared
that they contracted ptomaine poison
ing through nursing at their, mothers'
breasts. Physicians are hoperul mat
they will be able to save the lives of
the little sufferers.
Despite the verdict of the Coroner's
Jury, much difference of opinion has
developed among scientific men as to
the cause of the 12 deaths, some assert
ing that ptomaine would not have de
veloped in the preserved pears, and
that another poison must have been
dropped into the Jar by accident or de
at the stockyards here today for $9 a
hundred, the highest price since 1890.
At Pittsburg the price of hogs
reached $9.20 in the market today, said
to be the highest mark in the history
of the local exchange in that city.

Except In 1 882, Present Prices Have
Xot Been Reached Since Civil
War Cold Is Cause.
CHICAGO, Jan. 7. The 9 hog- ar
rived today at the Union Stock Yards
here, and his coming marked an epoch
in high prices. With the exception of
a short period in 1882 when swine sold
at $9.85 per hundredweight, the $9 hog
has not been seen here since the Civil
War. Continued intense cold impeding
transportation, and apparent hesitation
of producers to market their hogs are
the chief causes of the abnormal ad
vance. If present climate conditions con
tinue and prices of food products make
many more gains like those recorded In
wholesale circles Thursday, the ques
tion of living in Chicago will be a

over prices governing a week ago.

Stephenson Calls Halt.
On this, Mr. Ekern. it was said, en
gaged $0 rooms in the Stafford Hotel;
the hotel people, however, insisted on
a bond for $2800 and the bond was
forwarded to Washington for Senator
Stephenson's signature.
He said he refused to sign it, but
later, sent the La Follette committee a
check for $1000. This completed his
contributions to the Presidential cam
paign of the senior Senator.
At the conclusion of the examination,
Mr. Ekern, white with rage, turned to
go, and as he did, said: "You are an
old man. Senator, but you have done a
great injustice to Senator La Follette
this afternoon."
"I may be an old man," replied
Stephenson, "but I am not so old that
I do not know what I am saying."
