Without warning the biplane broke. ‘The machine gave a sudden lurch and the framework: crumpled up In the air, - When it struck the ground it was smashed to splinters.

Immediately &fter the result of Rolls" accident was known the committeo an- nounced that flying would be suspended for: the day. Lord and Lady Liangattock, the parents of Rolls, aid not witness the accident. They were yachting along the coast and put in at Poole near IBournemouth this morning, intending to attend the aviation shuye, while malking a trial flight above the Bournemouth fleld. His monoplane overturned and descended swiftly to the gound. but he escaped without injury, Roand Trip Across Chaunel. Captain the Honorable Charies Stewart Rolls, was 33 jears old and was one of the most popular younsg all-around sportsmen in England. At ballooning, at motoring and later In the field of aviation, he had dis- tingulshed himself by his utter fearlessness Ugdoubtedly his crowning feat was his vound trip across the channel between Dover and Calals in « Wright biplane on Juné 2 lust. Two Frenchmen, Louis Bleriot | and Count De Lesseps, already had crossed the |channe! and Hubert Latham had al- most succeeded. Channel flying was at a Qiscount in England because it was con- sidered an 0ld story and also because na- tional pride suffered from the monopoly of | it by Frenchmen, when Rolls electritied the entire kingdom by doubling the accom- plishments of his predecessors.

JISVILLE, Ky., July 12—At a direct- eeting of the Fidelity Trust com- this morning, it was announced that ockholders of the concern, which in- many capitalists of the city, had up & fund 10 meet any loss or losses ave or will come to the company up 1o $1,000,000. This would seem to indicate that the exact amount of August Ropke's defalcations, which aro thus made good, wil never be known, although rumors place It from $400,000 to $500,000. President Barr says accountants have ex- amined every security held by the company, whether owned by estates or by the com- pany and they find all In perfect condition. Ropke, wio spent the night In jail, was present in court today. He appeared with- out counsel, walved examination and was held to the criminal court for trial October 5. His bond of $25,000 was continued and he was returned to Jall. Toduy's action of the board of directors was thie first official intimation that the ramors fixing the amount of the defalcation in the neighborhood of $500,000 might have some basis. Since his arrest it has come to lght that Ropke’s speculation on the New York stock exchange and in local brokerage houses and in the bucket shops amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. His opera- tions were so carefully concenled, however, that only a small part of them were gen- erally known. Kaiser’s Letter to President Madriz German Foreign Office Issues State- ment Regarding Alleged Endorse- ment of Nicaraguan. BERLIN, July 12.—The foreign office has given the Associated Press an authorized | statement respecting the letter of Emperor William to President Madriz of Nicaragua. Reports have reached Berlin that attempts are being made in Ameriea to construe this letter as an endorsement by the emperor of the Madriz party. . The statement follows: “Madriz gave notice of his election on undertaking the presidency to the emperor in the usual written form. The customary formal reply was prepared by the foreign office. It was not an autograph letter, but was simply signed by the emperor. The address’ great and good friend’ was in ac- cordance with official courtesy. Any in- tervention by Germany in Nicaraguan af- fairs neither folloted nor is intended. Ger- many nelther sought mor designs to seek coaling statfon. Rumors of Germany's re equally without foundation as are all suggestions that the German government has in any wise modified the cultivation of friendly relations towards the United Staten. The reported offer by Madriz of a coal- ing station to a European power If it would intervene in Nicaragua was not made to Germamy, the forelgn office de- olared. The Berlin press makes much of attempts abroad to cast susplcion on Ger- many's LatinvAmerican policy. Many jour- nale affirm that an intrigue is in progress against German good faith. ‘WASHINGTON, July 12—The State de- partment ‘from ‘the first has believed that the communication to Dr. Madris, by the German forelgn office was purely & matier of form wnd made without the slightest regard to the exlsting conditions in Nicar- agua, of which.Germany, having relatively insignificant - commercial Interests there, was ‘hardly expected by this government to have Intimate knowledge, PINCHOT 10 A1D ~ HIRAM JOHNSON Intimate Friend of Roosevelt Off to| Take Stump for California Insurgent.
