Both accidents revealed the fralltr

Badger, a wealthy young man. came
to hla death In a pit In the arlatlon
field. There had been a flaw In one of
the wtnge of the propeller of the Bald
win machine he drove.
Badger's Neck Broken.
Centrifugal force broke the propeller
and upset the delicate equilibrium of
the machine and Badger dashed 100
feet to the bottom of the pit. Hla
neck waa broken.
Johnstone fell S00 feet under hla
engine and waa drowned. Caught un
der the heavy engine In the Molaant
monoplane, he was carried deep Into
Lake Michigan, and his body waa not
brought to the surface until an hour
later.
Badger lived three-quarters of an
bour after he had been extricated from
the wrecked machine. He did not re
cover consciousness. Thirty-five flyers
have dipped and glided here for three
daya and thlsjias the first fatal acci
dent. Three aviators fell yesterday
but were unhurt.
Victim Klcli Young Man.
Badger flew, as he formerly drove
racing automobiles, purely as an ama
teur. He waa the stepson of John
Goetman. of Pittsburg, and was 25
years old. He possessed an Indepen
dent fortune and gratified a well-developed
speed mania.
In the early daya of automobiles he
waa among the first to make amateur
records at Dayton and Palm Beach.
Badger made his first public appear
ance as an aviator at the local meet.
The big mechanical sign board recorded
after his death that he had flown up
to today Just two hours, 1J minutes
and 11 seconds. The flight that ended
hla life earned him possibly an hour
Thousand Sec Accident.
He fell In front of the grandstand
an thousands of spectators were with

leaped the fence at the post line and
rushed Into the pit where the wrecked
biplane lay. rive minutes later atten

ing to expert aviators, to a similar un
suspected flaw In the machinery of his
monopl--.e. Just what It was probably
will never be known, as the engine la

. Johnstone's actual fall was witnessed
by his young wife, although it waa not
until a half hour later that she waa
Informed of bis death.'
Wife Crlea With Fright.
Aa the monoplane faltered In mid
air, then crashed downward to the sur'
face of the lake, the young aviator's
wife, who had been fallowing his flight
closely. graed a mechanic's arm. and
exclaimed In fear: "Oh! Oh! Pity!
He's falling! My boy will be killed."
For some moments Mra. Johnstone
pleaded to be allowed to cross the field
and out to the lake Into which her
husbands machine had plunged. Fi
nally a mechanic rushed up and as
sured her that her husband had been
drawn out of the lake unharmed and
would join her In a hotel Immediately.
She went to her hotel and hurriedly
laid out dry apparel for her husband.
Thirty minutes later a member of the
Johnstone family told her c the avi

" Father's Letter Recalled.
Like Badger. Johnstone waa an ama
teur. His father. Dr. Ptuart Johnstone,

stone, who waa It yeara old. and ambi

to France, where he entered the Irexl
School of Aviation. He than went to
the Belolt School and learned to fly.
Then Johnstone's father again re
fused him aa aeroplane, and thla denial.

WOMEN LIKEJURY DUTY
"If Men Can Stay Out All Mght, So
Can We;' They Maintain.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. 15. (Spe
cial.) If the men can stay out all
night while serving on Juries, the ma
jority of the women of Vancouver, who
are liable to be drawn for Jury duty,
declare that they can do It, too.
Out of a total of about 2000 names
on the general Jury list of the County
Clerk, from which the Jury panels will
be selected, about 239 are women. This
means that In every panel of 36 drawn
for Jury duty, three or four will be
women.
It Is not a pleasant prospect, the
women admit, to be compelled to re
main on duty at night sessions, espe
cially In company with such creatures
as men. and some of those who now
talk bravely will no doubt avail them
selves of the privilege of excusing
themselves by reason of their sex.
"I guess I am equal to any emer
gency, declared Miss Ida Sohns, who Is
considered a leader on political ques
tions. "If other women are willing to
serve I am willing too."
Mrs. H. C. Funk took refuge behind
an excuse, which .has been frowned on
by many Jurists, when she declared
that she would be willing to serve and
If necessary stay up all nUht to reach
a verdict. If she were not so terribly
busy.
Of 10 women prominent In political
and club affairs In Vancouver only one
declared that she would not serve on a

' In his address, read by Mr. Chapman,

produce all of which It Is capable, and
of the necessity for making use of all
the vast space which Is now unpro

Mr. Gray's address, in part, contained
te following:
I believe in strengthening the Oregon De
velopment League. It should be the one
central commercial organization of the state
and It should be representative of every
possible sphere of commercial activity.
In a state so vast there should of neces
sity be other leaKues. other commercial
clubs, other business organizations of every
kind and character; but to brlnjc about the
greatest results for the upoullding- of the
state In all Its parts there should be an al
legiance of each and every one of these In
strumentalities to the parent body, which Is
this league.
Oregon is. In Its last analysis, an agri
cultural state, and It must be upon Its soil
that the millions yet to conn must be placed
and where they must prosper.

that It Is not perfectly feasible to con

"It would bo necessary, of course,
to build an Immense dancing platform,
one that could be removed with little

every young person in the city, or

Within a half hour after the fir trees
next to the house had caught fire from
the burning grass in the empty lot
at the back of Mrs. Russell's home the
impromptu feminine fire brigade had
conquered the blaze without more dam
age to the homes than a scorching.
Mrs. Russell had been away from the
house In the afternoon and had Just
alighted from a streetcar when she saw
the fire. She hurried to the neighbors'
houses, collecting aides, and formed a
bucket brigade. Drawing water from
a faucet in the back yard, the women
put out the fire and then thoroughly
drenched the ground about the house.
The nearest fire department Is at East
Twenty-eighth and Everett streets. A
new station in the locality was ordered
as one of the last acts of Mayor Si

LONDON, Aug. 15. The British
workmen's strike developed new seri
ous features today. A3 waa the case
yesterday, the center of trouble waa
at Liverpool, where mobs again at
tacked the soldiers, who fired, killing
at least one man and severely wounded
several others.
At a meeting tonight of the executive
of the Amalgamated Society of Railway
Servants, the Society of Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen, and the Gen
eral Railway Workers Union, at Liver
pool, a resolution was unanimously
adopted declaring a general railway
strike throughout the United Kingdom.
Waterworks Gets Permit.
The London water works authorities
were compelled today to obtain permits
from the strike leaders In order to ob
tain a coal supply and avert a water
famine.
Today's sailing of the White Star
liner Zeland, from Liverpool to Boston,
was canceled. . The Atlantic transport
steamer Minnewaska, which should
have sailed from London for New
York last Saturday, Is expected to get
away tomorrow. The St. Paul, of the
American line, will sail tomorrow.
The delay In the delivery of a tele
gram saved the passengers of the Liis
itanla from personal strike experiences
on their arrival at Fishguard last
night. It had been announced that the
steamer woulu unload her passengers
and as much of her cargo as possible
at Fishguard, and the headquarters of
the strike committee forthwith sent a
telegram to the Seamen's Union Branch
at Fishguard, Instructing Its members
not to touch the Cunarder's cargo.
Delayed Message Saves Passengers.
The telegraph office at Fishguard
closed at 8 o'clock last night and the
message was not delivered until thla
morning. In the meantime the pas
sengers had disembarked and part of
the freight had been landed.
American importers who rely on Lon
don for their Autumn stocks, will In
many cases suffer from a serious de
lay in the delivery. Since the dock
strike began the exports for America
have been cut down to less than one
fourth their usual quantity. Usually
during the few days previous to the
departure of the steamers, the Ameri
can Consulate issues 300 to 400 in
' voices. On no day since the strike waa
declared has there been more than 80
invoices presented by exporters.
