Hughes motored to the neighboring village of East Hamp- ton today to review the Fourth of July preparedness parade and see a baseball game. He did not expect to make a speech. Tonight Mr. Hughes will attend a Fourth of July celebration here. Enthusiasts marched up the road to the nominee’s home about 1 o’clock this morning and fired the village can- non, a weapon that has had no active service since the revolutionary war. The roar awakened the village, but the nominee, fatigued by a long day's work, apparently slept through it. Parker Sticks to the Middle_(_)f_ the Road New Orleons, La., July 4.—In a telegram sent today to the third con- gressional committee of the progres- sive party in Louisiana, John M. Par- ker, the progressive vice presidential nominee, urged the progressives to continue the fight against the demo- crats and to stand by their convic- tions ‘“unterrified by desertion and fearless of any opposition.” “We should demand immediate resignation of those endorsing other parties,” he said, “should strictly ad- here to our principiles and ask the support and co-operation of all parties working for national good and human welfare, e are not seeking to get into the bandwagon. Our principles are either right or wrong, and as long as we firmly believe we are right, let us continue the fight.” Asked if this telegram indicated he would not support either the republic- an or democratic nominees for presi- dent but would insist on the progres- tives keeping a ticket in the field, Mr. Parker said “he presumed it did.” Motorcycle Rider Badly Hurt on Dodge City Track Dodge_ City, Ran, July 4.—Paul Gott of Peoria, 111, was severely in- jured this afternoon when he fell from his motorcycle in the fourteenth mile of the third annual 300-mile motorcycle race. Gott was going at a high speed when he lost control of his machine and rolled off the track. He was in- jured internally. Officials of the Dodge City Motor- cycle Speedway association, under whose direction the race was held, de- clared a new dirt track record for 100 miles was set by Floyd Clymer of Greeley, Colo., who rode the first third of the race in 1 hour, 12 min- utes and 45 seconds. The previous record wab 1 minute and 33 seconds slower.

Window Display Proves an Enigma To Curious Omaha An enigmatic problem that puzzled hundreds of curious Omahans pre- sented itself in the window of the Merritt drug store on Sixteenth, be- tween Farnam and Harney streets, yesterday. < A small bottle of Fermilac, strung by a couple of wires, poured a con- tinuous stream of the liquid into a small tumbler all day Iong. But the little bottle never emptied and the tumbler never became quite full. And still the stream flowed on. One passerby took one look and declnrctlJ it wasn't possible. Another said the stream was made of tissue paper kept in motion by an air cur- rent. But this solution wasn't satis- factory because it didn't account for the foam on the glass. Divers other opinions were ex- pressed, but none of them satisfied. The Merritts certainly had Omaha guessing yesterday. 19 Latin-American Countries Pledged To Resist Yankees Mexico City, July 4—An open let- ter was published today signed by S, Cosme Zafra, in which an agree- ment was cited which was said to have been entered into by nineteen Latin-American countries to resist aggression by the United Smcs.vThu agreement is said\to have been signed by the representatives of the nineteen countries at Saragossa, Spain, on No- vember 19, 1908.
