An insta:t latar the sig- nal was hoisted that he had made a record. Did Not Push His Machine. Curtiss said that he did not push his machine to the limit of its speed, and laughingly declined to say more, add- ing that the most interesting incident of his flight was the view he got of his fallen rivals strewn around the course.™ Curtiss Will ‘Try for Gordon Bennett Cup. It is the intention of the American aviator now to await patiently the in- ternational event for the Gordon Ben- nett cup on Saturday, for which he is again the favorite,after which he will try for the Prix De La Vitesse, the find of which will be contested on Sunday Others Qualified With Short Flights.

Dunlop of the pure food board of. the agricultural department, The food experts of the agricultural department some time ago decided that bleached flour was & violation of the pure food laws, not so much on the ground of impurity, but because of al- leged misbranding, and the agents of the department were instructed to make seizures. - Counsel for the mill ers, the largest of which are in lowa and.

WORKMEN NO LONGER WANTED Company Can Do Without Them— Strikers Seem Awed and Gloomy— Schoenville Plant in Opera Pittsburg, Aug. 23.—Three -columns of smoke floated lazily from the chim- neys of the Pressed Steel Car com- pany’s plant in Schoenville tonight. These mute signals told better than official pronunciamento that the strik- ing employes of the car plant have yet to wait long to win their fight inst the car company officials, for the plant was still in operation despite the wild efforts of infuriated mobs to scare off the imported workmen during the past twenty-four -hours Tonight the striking men realized for the first time that their jobs were no more, that the company could do with- out them, and that they no longer were wanted within the big gates of the c: plant. The women and children of the, strikers grasped the situation as soon as the men and the idea of starvation and eviction with winter coming on caused wails of anguish in many a striker’s cottage. Additional Troopers Arrive. Forty state police are on their way here tonight to augment the company of mounted constables now on duty at the car plant. Since last night's car- nage these fearless cavalrymen have evinced a desire to strike fear into the hearts of the men who took their com= rades’ lives. The strikers realize that the mounted troopers are more than a match_for them. Yet all during t day these troopers have been su] jected to abuse from house windo and doors whenever they chanced to pass a strike sympathizer’s home. In retaliation not a striker or sympathizer left his doorstep today but he was halt- ed and searched. Besides the search- ing the troopers insisted on examining the bodies of the strikers and if they bore bruises or traces of having been clubbed they were promptly arrested, for the troopers considered such evi- dence proof that the men had partici- pated in last night’s rioting. Arrested Men in Box Car Jails. The strikers’' wives were viewed with disfavor by the troopers today. Sever- al of them, carrying large baskets, were made to turn over the contents so that they might be carrying nothing contra- band into the houses. Twenty-five men were arrested and put into the box car jails by nightfall. The men who resisted were manacled to the troopers’ horses and. dragged through the streets to the plant's en- trance. Troopers Order Bells to Be Silent. Atnoon the great bell of the Cath- olic cathedral at McKees Rocks began| ringing. This was kept up for two hours and then the bells were ordered silent by state troopers, because, it was pointed out, such demonstration at the present time only went toward agitating the strikers. Funeral of Victims Today. Today strikers’ wives besiezed Lieu- tenant Smith cf the state constabulary for news of their missing husbands. The lieutenant had ten hats gathered from “bloody corner” after the conflict last night. Several of the women claimed that the hats belonged to their husbands or sons and wept coplously over thé headgear. The strikers seem awed and gloomy tonight at the extent of last night's fatalities. The gloom over the little car company village is also attributed to the fact that tomorrow a funeral has been planned for the strikers who were victims of last night's rioting. So far as plans for the funeral have been made, the strikers' bodies will lie in state ‘at the Catholic cathedral in Mc- Kees Rocks tomorrow morning and, headed by the strikers and their sym- pathizers, will be interred tomorrow afternoon in the little cemetery just outside of Schoenville. A Quietus. The news that additional state con- stablesivere on their way from Wilkes- barre.and would be in the strike zone before morning seemed to act as a quietus upon those few strike sympa- thizers who gathered in doorways dur- ing the evening and discussed the sit- uation. “There is no use now,” said one of the striking men, “to try to resist these mounted police, as eighty such men, armed as they are, are more than a match for a thousand infuriated strik- ers.” Meeting of Strikers Not Allowed. A meeting of the striking employes of the car plant scheduled for the late afternoon was not allowed to take place. The state constabulary, hearing of the proposed gathéring, posted sen- tries near Indian mountain and as fast as men were seen approaching the hill from the outskirts of the town they were ordered back. SEVERE MEASURES From Now On the Order is “Shoot to Kill.” Pittsburg, Aug. 23.—Leniency hereto- fore displayed by the constabulary tow- ard the strikers will- no longer be shown. Stringent measures are being used, and the slightest overt act com- mitted by them is being met with a riot stick or the hoofs of a policeman’s horse. Orders have been issued to the con- stabulary, deputy sheriffs and special police to shoot ‘at the first sign of trouble. The practice of the last five weeks of firing into the air has been abolished, and from now on “shoot to kill* is the order. TO ASK GOVERNOR STUART To Call State Constabulary from Steel Car Plant. Pittsburg, Aug. 23.—The McKees Rock city council late tonight at a special meeting called for the purpose appointed a committee to go at once to Harrisburg and ask Governor Stuart to call the state constabulary from the plant of the Pressed Steel Car com- pany, whose 3500 employes are on strike. Neither the car company nor the strikers were criticized at the council meeting, the purpose being mply to protect the citizens of Me- ces Rocks and Scheonville, The* death Hist resulting from last night's wild rioting was swelled tonight when Mike Desoski, one of the striking men living at McKees Rocks, died at Mercy hospital: from gun_wounds g the jungs and abdomen, This brings the lisg up to seven.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug.*23.—Inter- est in the reform movement in this city was intensified today when Mayor F. P. Stoy officially refused to receive a notice from Attorney General Wilson ordering him to close Atlantic City saloons on Sunday. The notice was served upon him in his office by David Johnson, a member of the reformers’ organization. Refused to Accept Service. The mayor declared that he knew the contents of the notice which gives the names and addresses of thirty- eight saloon and hotel proprietors who are alleged to have sold liquor on three Sundays of the present month, and he refused to accept service even after the contents of the paper and the signa- ture of the atforney general had been read to him. The Penalty. Under the state.law the refusal to act within ten days on an order issued by the attorney genmeral makes a city official liable to indictment for a mis- demeanor. The heads of the reform movement declared tonight that they will cause the arrest of thc mayor if he refuses to acknowledge the notice issued by the attorney general. Re- form lawyers claim that the open re- fusal of the mayor to receive a docu- ment signed by the attorney general also lays him open to charges of con- tempt of state courts. Mayor Stoy re- fused to discuss the matter tonight. Attorney General Wilson's action follows an appeal made to him in Trenton by the reformers who have secured his cooperation in the attempt to close the saloons here on Sunday. FUNERAL PROCESSION HALTED, BURIAL PREVENTED. Dispute Over Whether It Should Be Cremation or Grave. Goshen, Ind., Aug. 23.—To enforce an antemortem contraet for the cre- mation of the body of Charles Crary, C. B, Stiver, an undertaker, met the funeral procession in the cemetery and with the aid of an attorney and sev- eral policemen prevented the burial. The corpse was finally placed in a vault to. await a legal decision of the case. Stiver contends that six years ago Crary entered into a contract ‘with him to. have his body cremated. On Crary’s death in Dallas, Tex., his uncle and heir, Wesley Crary, brought the body to Goshen and put it in of a rival undertaker, who at- tempted today to bury it according to ‘Wesley Crarys' orders. Crary’s uncle alleges that his nephew was not mentally responsible when the con;rlct with Stiver for cremation was made. ANTUNG-MUKDEN AGREEMENT. Japan Will Hold Reconstruction of Railroad in Abeyance for a Time. Peking, Aug. 23.—M. Tjuin, the Jap- anese minister to China, has handed to the diplomatic representatives of the interested powers copies of the agree- ment regarding the Antung-Mukden railrond signed at Mukden between China and Japan on Aug. 19. This memorandum separates the commercial questions connected with the raiiroad from the political aspects of the case, and it is understood that Japan, in framing it, strove to elim- inate anything that would offend Chin- ese susceptibilities. To this end it is understood here that Japan will hold the reconstruction of the line in tem- porary abcyance, possibly until late in the perivd of two years al'owed for rebuilding. In the meantime It is hoped that the political questions will be settled. RUMOR THAT JUSTICE M'KENNA Is Preparing to Retire from Supreme Court Bench. ‘Washington, Aug. 23.—In the ab- sence of Justice McKenna from the city his friends here scout the report that he is preparing to retire from the supreme court bench. They admit that he is not as robust in health as might be desired, but say that his health is no worse than it has been for some time. If he should ‘retire now, Justice Mc- Kenna would not be entitled. on ac- count of lack of age. to the full salary of a justice. The salary is continued to members of the court who have at- tained the age of seventy jears and have served for ten vears.
