Paris. Aviat or La (Ion and M.
Paula, were killed Wednesday when
their passenger-carrying monoplane
fell from a height of 230 feet soon
after they had started from Issy ou
trip to Brussels and return.
This Is the first serious disaster to
a passenger-carrying aeroplane In the
history of aviation.
LafTon had set out to win the $30,
000 prize offered by the Automobile
club cf France for a round trip to
the Belgian capital within 36 hours.
Laffon and Paula set out shortly aft
er dawn and a We crowd cheered
them as tho propellers began to bum
aVd the great aeroplane arose.
Laffon sent tho tnachine In an east
erly direction and it was apparent
ly working perfectly. Before he had
gone far the motor began to miss fir;
and-the car wobbled through the air
at times In an alarming manner.
Suddenly thoso who were watching
saw Laffon fumbling frantically with
the machinery as tho motor stopped.
A gust of wind caught the wings and
the machine turned over while Laf-
fon and Paula clung lo the frame
work. The aeroplane swept downward
with great velocity and crashed to
the earth, pinning both men beneath
the Wreckage.

6,800-foot peak, described a number of
graceful sweeps and circles 4,000 feet
above the crest of the mountain and
returned to Aviation field after a flight
cf two hours and thirty minutes.
According to the statement of avia
tion officials, he traveled 100 miles.
The barograph which he carried on
his machine registered an altitude of
10.005 feet.
Los Angeles, Cal. Arch Hoxsey of
the Wright team, of aviators Monday
broke the world's record for altitude
here when he attained a height of
11,474 feet and accomplished the feat
In a 30-mlle gale that wrecked La
tham's monoplane and kept cautious
aviators to the ground.
London, England. No news has
come of tho fate of Cecil S. Grace,
the American-born aviator who dis
appeared in the fog Thursday while
attempting a return flight from
Calais, Trance, to Dover. It is feared

PACKERS FIGHT FOR TIME
Coupsel Opposes Dismissal of Civil
Action Which Would Hasten the
Criminal Trial.
Chrrago. Indicted members of ttat
so-called "beef trust" will resort to
every technical means within tbeii
knowledge and experience to stay th
criminal jiroeeedlngs begun against
them by the government. This was
made clnr Wednesday before Judge
Kohlsnat In the I'nltcd States circuit
court.
Attorney Georre T. Buckingham
one of the attorneys for the packers
obtained a delay to file objections tc
tho dismirp.-il of the suit in equity tc
enjoin the National Packing companj
from violating the cntl-trust act.
The government suit was dismissed
on orders or Attorney General Wick
ersham. Tl is was done with the pur
pose of preventing the packers front
escaping trial upon the criminal In
dfctments.
It is the contention of counsel fol
tho packers that, tho government hai
no right to di: miss the suit In equity;
tbat it is virtually a supplemental bill
to proceedings had before Judgt
Grosscup several years ago, and which
resulted In the court enjoining the
packers from committing certain vio
lations of the federal trust laws and
that the bill In effect asks punishment
for contempt of court.

a county ui;se-fsor. Provision will bo
made cither that he rhall namo the

likely also that the mea.inre will pro
vido that the supervision -culvert
and bridgo building chall be taken out
of the hands of tho county commis
sioners and placed under the county
supervisor of roads.
Under the rresent law road dis
tricts are created by the county com
missioners, as many as they thinlt
necessary within certain restrictions
palced upon this division by the last
legislature, and the Overseers them
selves are selected. The limitation
placed by the lant legislature ia that
no district shall be formed within the
boundaries of two voting precincts.
It is argued by the friends of good
roads that the present system brings
about a haphazard Improvement of
the roads, that supervisors with no
central authority to plan Improve
ments do not work In conjunction and
often not In harmony, that certain
roads will be Improved In certain dis
tricts and roads which do not at all
connect with them kept In the best
condition in other districts.
Two years ago the legislature was
flooded with bills loolilug toward a
modification of the road laws of the
eta'te. By mutual agreement these
bills for the most part were referred
to a Joint committee. Tho senate
members could not aree with the
house members and all progress wan
blocked and most of this contem
plated legislation failed of passage.
Fish Distributed.
Superintendent O'llrion of the state
fish hatcheries, subnits a report of
the number of kinds of fish hatched
end planted during tho past two years,
also a detailed statement of Improve
ments mado at the hatcheries. The
grand total of Ilsh planted' includes
all fish artificially, hatched at Gretna
and Valentine, also all fish obtained
from overflow ponds, transplanted
or purchased for distribution. Their
ages range from two weeks old
fry to mature llsh. The kinds of flah
distributed and the number of each
planted 'during the last two year3 Is
10,803,241.
Franking Privileges.
The question of franks by xpress
and other companies and transporta
tion of freight free in Nebraska will
come before the next legislature. Su
perintendent Butler of the Adams Ex
press company has submitted to the
railway Commission a proposition to
amend the present law and has asked
the commissioner's approval.
Mullen Makes Recommendations.
"Nebraska's antitrust laws are

P. Mullen In his biennial report just

Regents .Minority Report.
George Cotiplimd and Frank L.
Mailer completed their minority re
port a3 regciitu of the University of
Nebraska to the governor and legis
lature, giving many reasons why they
ask that thn lovn town campus of tho
statu university be not developed in
tho. future, but that the university
plant thereon be removed la time to
the agricultural college at the state
farm, the latter being situated in tho
suburbs of Lincoln. A, sepaivition Of
the agricultural college from the col
lego of arts and Feiences thy' urge,
is a mistake. The' purchusa of prop-
j erty near the present city campus
would cost from $31S,000 to 7no,000,
or from $20,0(10 to $00,000 an acre.
For Wide Open Primary.
E. B. Qtiackenbush of Auburn was
in Lincoln for a few hours and called
on a few Lancaster representatives.
Mr. Quackenbush was quoted as say

it had worked unfortunately in the
last campaign, according to his views,
that lt waa not necessarily true that
It would always be regarded as a
bad measure.

LEANEST OF ALL CITIES
Flits and Other Insect Pasts Are Ab
sent From Bad Nauheim,
Germany.
' Not the least among the advantage
Offered by Nauholm Is the almost com
plete absence of files and other Insect
pests. There are no fly screens in Bad
Nauheim. Accordiug to a writer In the
Post-Gradunte they are kept so clean
that the "typhoid fly" finds conditions
unfavorable for breeding and an ef
fective campaign also Is carried ou be
.tween seasons.
During the winter flies seek corners
of cellars and attics. The authorities
In Nauheim have a municipal ordi
nance which enables them to destroy
tho fly pest by attacking lt at this
time. . Government employes are sent
Into every building In the town, tr
burn out all corners in which flies
might take refuge. These measures
aro very successful.
The place likewise affords an inter
esting proof that this dangerous nul
sanco does not move far from its
breeding grounds. In Frledburg, a
typical ill-paved, dirty European town
less than two niilea away, the fly pest
Is everywhere In evidence.
Beautiful walks In great variety aro
to be found leading In all directions
through the neighboring hilla. From
the mountains, too, the Ufa, a lively"
little stream, runs down through the
town and carries off the waste water.,
from the baths. -No sewage cr fi'ii
