No Hint of Impending Ill

Falls Into Arms of Doctor

Behind Him 1
WASHINGTON, May 15. OP)
General Nelson A. Miles, famous
American soldier, dropped dead here
today.
Death occurred while ' General
Miles was attending a cimis perform
ance. The general had apparently been
in the best of health. Mrs. Coolidge
was attending the performance.
86 Years Old
General Miles was 80 yearn old,
but despite his advanced age, he had
taken his usual interest in public af
fairs until today. Wbm he started
for the circus performance there was
no hint of an impending illness.
.Ths old Indian fighter was sitting
on the third row of the circus stands
when he fainted, lie fell into the
arms of Dr. Arthur W. Craig, who
was immediately behind him. Dr.
Craig and others removed him to a
position under the seats and then to
a point outside the tents, where he
died.
The general was accompanied by
Mrs. W. B. Noble, his daughter-in-law
and several of his grandchildren.
The opening pageant of the circuit
had just begun when he collapsed.

enty-tlirfe years ngo the steamer
Golden !ate swung at anchor in
Panama Bay with the United States
Fourth infantry on board, ('holers
broke out and 200 soldiers died and
were buried in the waters of the bay.
Ulydses 8. Crrant, later commander-in-chief
of the Union army and presi

this charming gray-haired woman,

The American girl, in comparison

She has shaken off the shackles if

Hearing Forecast

culated in Eugene td:iy, urging that
the desire of the western Lane boost
era be granted by the county court.
It is pointed out in the petitions
that the closing of ihe Mapleton to
Cushmnn gap will provide a practical
and improved route as an outlet for a
large number of residents on the
Siuslaw below Mnpleton. This road of
between 12 and 13 miles is now only
eight feet wide and not feasible for
traffic as it has never been surfaced.
A rond width of 1'J feet and improve
ments arc necensary and if the route
is classed as among the market rond
projects market funds will be avail
able for this work, it is stated.
"The people of Eugene and the
eastern part of Lane county are espe
cially interet ed In the development
and improvement of the mad from
Mnpleton to Cushman for the reason
that it would give opportunity to the
people of the valley to reach the
beach and the various resorts along
the beach, Siltcoos and other lakes,
by automobile. At the present time
and until said rond is improved the
great expenditure of state, county and
federal funds on the low pans road is
of little avail since it is impossible

WASHINGTON, May
earth was formed by ' meteorites
bumping together in space,
lis end will come when it whirls
itwelf apart.
This yew theory, which already hns
started n controversy nmong scim
tin In, hns been propounded by I'r.
William Jasper Spilhuan of the Na
tional Academy of Sciences and U. S.
department of agriculture.
It applies not only to the earth,
but to the en I ire solnr system.
1Ik conclusions are that
The meteorites which formed tin
earth were fragments of older plan
ets which had disictegruled and fallen
apart.
The earth is growing nlowly larger.
It is losing its own initial heat,
but in receiving heat from exploding
atoms nod striking meteorites.
The j The nun has attuned Ms full growth
is now remaining stationary in
nud
It has parsed Its hot tent point, and
is grfldunll cooling off.
The Doctor Explains
Ir. Hpillman cxplnin as follows:
"Millions of meteorites are whirl
ing about In space.
They exert a certain amount of
attraction for each other.
"Therefore, when the nihilM of any J
Imo meteorites ore close enough, the-tiny ..illy over
meteorites are drawn together and
form oiio larger meteorite. Event
ually it attains 1nnicnlAiiH ir.i,
"This appears to be a logical ex
planation for h11 lln Ktitrx and plan
ets, including Ihe earth.
"For a time the emtli grew fiist.
