Two Killed and Five Hurt at Start
of Race.
Farls Fifty aeroplanists took wing
early Sunday from t lie aviation field
at Vincennes on the first stage of
the European circuit race, which calls
for a flight to London and return
with stops at various places going
and returning. Almost immediately
after the start two of the aviators
met tragic deaths, and at least one
was gravely hurt. -.-e dead:
Captain Princtau, whose motor ex
ploded In midair, flooding him with
gasoline and burning him to death.
M. LeMartin, who dashed against
a tree, the motor of his aeroplane
crushing his head.
The injured: M. Gaubert, ex-lieutenant
in the army, who was entered
In the civilian race under the name
of "Dalger." He was found lying
senseless near his machine In a
wheat field four miles from Viller
Coterets. His injuries are serious.
M. Bille, whose aeroplane struck
the earth within a mile of the start.
Bille was injured, but not seriously.
Three other aviators fell, M. Lor-
dian near Charleville; Oscar Moii
son, close to Gagny, and M. Morln
at Chevron, within 22 miles of Liego,
which is the end of the first stage
of the race. None of these men
were badly hurt Of the 50 aviators
who started, 38 were civilians and
12 officers assigned for military duty.
Hung up for the competitors are
prizes amounting to $94,000.
Dawn at Vincennes saw a crowd
estimated at from 500,000 to 1,000,
000 persons massed around the mili
tary exercise field to witness the
start. Six thousand soldiers and
4000 police, most of them mounted,
were present to keep the field clear.
A signal fired at 5:45 o'clock sig
nalled the commencement of the pre
liminaries. The Abbe Larebourg was
just finishing the mass at an im
provised altar in one of the aero
plane hangars for some of the avia
tors who desired spiritual prepara
tion for the perils of the day. M.
Le Martin, who within the hour was
dying, was among those who knelt
for the blessing.

LAWLESSNESS IN CHICAGO.
LARGEST TIMBER DEAL.
Hi.
$2,100,000 Paid S. Benson for
Columbia County Holdings.
One of the largest timber deals
ever closed In Oregon was consum
mated this week when S. Benson
transferred his holdings in Colum
bia county to the Benson Timber
company for a consideration of $2,'
100,000.
The principal owner of the com
pany is Frank Lynch, who, with O.
J. Evenson and E. E. Coovert, or
ganized the new corporation to re
tain the name and good will of Mr.
Benson. It is capitalized at $3,000,000.
There are 15,000 acres of land In
the tract, containing 800,000,000 feet
of high-grade yellow fir. With the
transfer of the holdings are included
a sawmill plant of 500,000 feet dally
capacity and a logging railroad, fully
equipped, 12 miles long.
Mr. Lynch, head of the new com
pany, purchased from Mr. Benson
some time ago the sawmill plant
and holdings at Santiago and has
continued to operate the business
there under the name of the Benson
Lumber company. With the acquis!
tion of all of the Benson timber
holdings, Mr. Lynch and associates
become the largest timber and lum
ber operators in the Columbia River
basin.
SALARIES ARE RAISED.
DISHES SET FOR MEAL.
Interesting Discoveries in Work on
Battleship Maine.
Havana Unwatering of the coffer
dam about the old battleship Maino
Is progressing slowly, the army en
gineers in charge giving most of
their attention to the condition of
the dam, which Is in excellent shape.
Water from a hose was played on
the mud on -the spar deck and the
surface was well cleaned off. Engi
neers began exploring the exposed
parts of the vessel, and on entering
the after-superstructure found a quan
tity of dishes laid out on the mess
table. Many of them were unwashed
and gave Indications of having been
left by mess attendants, who were
surprised at their evening meal when
the explosion occurred. The officers,
of course, had finished their meal
long before, as the explosion was
after 9 o'clock.
On clearing off the spar deck, an
ammunition box was found just aft
of the port turret, which contained,
besides a full complement of ammuni
tion, clips for hand rifles and several
hand swords. The lead and brass of
the cartridges were little Injured, but
the steel swords practically were
eaten away by the salt water. Offi
cers' dress swords in scabbards were
found leaning against the starboard
wall of the deckhouse with the leath
er in good shape, but with the steel
so badly eaten that it fell apart when
picked up.
The engineers were astonished that
the steel should have deteriorated In
the water, and the only explanation
is galvanic action. Several electric
bulbs are said to have been found
whole, which, with the fact that the
crockery was unbroken on the mess
table, indicates that the explosion
was not felt to any extent aft.
General Bixsby expected to depart
for the United States and an at
tempt was made to pump as much as
possible before he started. The out
look now is that the pumping will
go on slowly but steadily till the
cofferdam is all unwatered.
Fifty Oregon Postmasters Gainers

Washington The postoffice depart
ment has announced changes in
salaries of presidential postmasters:
based upon the Increase or decline

EUGENE TO FLORENCE.
First Work on Construction Impetus
for Big Demonstration.
Eugene Fully 2000 people gathered
at the west end of Fifth street Tues
day to celebrate the beginning of
construction work on the Eugene
Siuslaw railroad. The stores of the
city were closed from 2 to 4 o'clock
and the business part of town was
practically empty during the celebra
tion. More than 100 automobiles
were packed along the right-of-way,
all filled with an enthusiastic and
cheering crowd. Construction of a
railroad from Eugene to Florence
has been the dream of Lane county
for 30 years. ,
At 2 o'clock a procession of citi
zens, headed by the mayor and city
council, formed at Eighth and Will
amette streets and marched to the
scene oi operations. The procession
was headed by a band, and was one
of the largest that has formed In
Eugene recently. Automobiles were
in line, followed by carriages and
buggies and scores on foot.
All the speakers dwelt on the Im
portance to Eugene of securing rail
road connection with the coast, par
ticularly In view of the nearness of
the completion of the Panama canal.
The line is financed by the Lane
County Asset company, which is a
local corporation, organized in Oc
tober, 1909. Permanent survey has
been completed to a point 30 miles
west of Eugene, and several avail
able preliminaries have 4een com
pleted from this point to the coast.
The copmany owns 1800 feet of wa
terfront at Glenada, on the Siuslaw
river.
Coos Bay is the ultimate destina
tion, and the asset company owns
surveys to that point. Contracts havo
been let as far as Elmira, 14 miles
west of Eugene.
CAPACITY INCREASED.
CASCARA BARK TO MARKET.
Dealers Are Quoting Five Cents a
Pound for New Peel.
Diaz in Spain.
Santander, Spain The steamer
Ypiranga, with General Porfirio Diaz,
ex-president of Mexico, aboard, sailed
for Plymouth. Several tugs sailing
the Mexican colors, with cheering
people, escorted the steamer for sev
eral miles. General Diaz said the
friendly demonstrations at Spanish
ports had comforted him greatly in
his bitter exile. "It Is quite possible
that, after a few months' visit, I shall
turn my steps toward the peninsula
I speak only Spanish, and I am too
old to begin the study of foreign lan
guages."
Roads Overpaid, Charge.
Washington Uncle Sam has been
paying the railroads a little matter
of $9,000,000 a year more than the
service for carrying tne mails Is
worth. This Is Postmaster-General
Hitchcock's latest announcement with
resiect to Inside affairs pertaining
to the postal service. Congress is
to be asked to authorize a readjust
ment of railway mail pay so that this
$9,000,000 a year may be saved to
the. government.

Portland Peeling of cascara or
chittim bark has started in the coun
try and initial shipments have been
received in this city.
First prices for 1911 peel of chit
tim stand at 5 cents a pound, the
highest figure In recent years for
the start of the season, and for new
bark.
All together several tons of new
bark have been received and the
high price paid.
Inquiries regarding the probable
peel of chittim In the Pacific North
west are coming : forward In great
numbers from eastern manufacturers
as well as from foreign Interests.
So far as known no orders from the
outside have been received and first
buyers are therefore undecided as
to whether they paid too much or
not.
Prospects are for a normal peel of
chittim In most sections of the Pa
cific Northwest but in some places
where the' bark was formerly gath
ered in great volume, scarcely any
will be peeled hereafter because of
the settlement of the lands by
farmers.
Reservoir of Baker Irrigation Com
pany Gets Improvement.
Baker Work is now under way
which will greatly increase the stor
age capacity of the reservoir of the
Baker Irrigation company. The height
of the dam Is Increased 10 feet, so
that when the. changes are complete
Die dam will be 600 feet In length,
60 feet wide at the top and 70 feet
in depth. Already the company has
.spent over $200,000 on the reservoir
and ditches, and the work now under
way will give a storage capacity
which will absolutely prevent any
shortage of water on the land Irri
gated by the project. Snow In the
mountains is melting slowly this year,
and the Powder, river will furnish
plenty of water to all consumers,
with no possibility of the damaging
shortage of water which followed
the heavy spring freshets when prac
tically all the snow In the moun
tains went off within a few days.
ROAD'S EARNINGS BIG.
'"Moral Uplift" Idea Is Promoter of
Crime Murderers Thick.
Chicago Chicago Is overwhelmed
by crime and criminals who laugh
at the feeble efforts of the police
to subdue them, and who have only
sneers and contempt for the vapid
judges, who, under the guise of "mor
al uplift," give them ridiculous low
fines or set them free to resume
preying upon helpless society.
Atrocious crimes are now commit
ted In broad day, In the very heart
of the city, the perpetrators no longer
waiting for the cover of darkness.
There has been . appalling epidemic
of attacks upon women and little
girls. In the latter cases, the chil
dren are lured to empty flats by
various pretexts and left unconscious.
One woman has died as the result
of an attack by a man who never
has been captured. He entered her
uome under pretense of renting a
room and shot her when she re
sisted him.
Restaurants and stores have been
robbed as frequently as three times
within a week. The robbers line up
any customers who happen to Be in
the place and despoil them, as well
as the proprietor and the cash box.
Two robbers made a specialty this
week of robbing young men escort
ing girls to their homes from enter
tainments. They also sobbed the girls
of their jewels and money and wound
up the night by holding up a priest,
from whom they took a diamond
studded gift watch and $70.
It is the general Impression that
the vast horde of criminals and ho
boes brought in here and colonized
for the election for mayor, have
found the pickings so rich and the
dangers so limited, that they have
decided to remain In Chicago. Once
in a while they venture to outside
towns and rob small banks and post
offices, but the rural marshals and
citizens frequently shoot them or
send them to prison for long terms.

"The new era made inevitable the
social and political liberation of the
American woman," said Mrs. Hume.
Her sphere now extends outside the

everything in municipal housekeep

concerned with municipal improve
ments, parks, playgrounds, pure milk,
streets, censoring picture shows and
delinquent children.
"This has not perverted woman

London The Earl Marshal, the
Duke of Norfolk, and the Lord Cham
berlain, the Earl Spencer, are busy
men and much sought after In these,
the days Immediately preceding the
coronation. They are custodians of
the elect, sorters of social aspirants,
inquisitors into pretensions or ranK
in these trying times of pomp and
circumstance. Whoever has failed
to satisfy the bluff, black-bearded
Earl Marshal in the tweed jacket
before then certainly won't receive
the illuminated cardboard Inviting
them to be present at the Abbey
where they may see not merely the
crowning, but also the Earl Marshal
himself, trying to look as pleased
with his gorgeous trappings as a
simple man can be expected to do.
Between now and July 1 there will
be a round of engagements. Premier
and Mrs. Asquith will give a dinner
to their majesties in Downing street.
June 30. The entertainment will In
clude the presenting of two plays,
Bernard Shaw's "The Man of Des
tiny" and James A. Barrie's "The
Twelve-Pound Look."
Sir Edward Grey, the foreign min
ister, gave a dinner in honor of the
king and queen at the foreign of
fice; June 23, which was one of the
most brilliant of the season. There
were 150 guests at the dinner, In
cluding all the foreign princes and
envoys to the coronation.
A noteworthy feature along the
lines of route to be followed by the
newly crowned king, in his proces
sion through the streets of London,
is the almost complete transforma
tion of familiar sights. Churches,
ancient edifices, public buildings and
open spaces, business prAnises and
private residences have entirely
changed their appearance. Starting
with the Westminster Abbey itself,
the annex added to Increase the ac
commodation has altered its aspect
almost alarmingly, although efforts
were exerted to lend an air of age
to the stucco addition.
The office of works has decided
to permit those present, to purchase,
as souvenirs, the chairs and stools
on which they sat, all of which are ,
marked with the word "Coronation,"
and embossed with the crown and
the date of the occurrence.
Apeculiar dilemma which arose out
of the scarcity of first-class carriage
horses has developed since the uni
versal introduction of the motor car,
affected many members of the peer
age To avoid the terrible conse
quences of possible rushes into the
main thoroughfares from side streets,,
barriers of timber were erected at
the most dangerous street junctions.
John Hays Hammond, special am
bassador of the United States, made
his official entry Into the city at
