THOUSANDS JEE FIRE RUN
Spectacle Pleases Great Crowds
Along the Streets.
AUTO TRUCK IN FIERY DASH
Attendance at Carnival Greater
Than Dver Before, While Crowds
Have Fine Time In New
Location.
Carnival crowds made new Attendance
records last night, and when the weary
ticket takers ceased their labor the
greatest number had passed through the
sates of any day during the week. The
Inrush did not end until nearly 10 o'clock
and then It was checked by coming into
contact with tho outpour.
The Initial crowds gathered on the
streets to sea the pyrotechnlo run of the
tire department, and when the hour ar
rived, the central portion of the town
was packed with people. The spectacle
wan worth a good deal more than the
effort It cost to see It It was as bril
liant as red fire and white light could
make It, and speed with which each pleco
of apparatus moved gave the thrills that
people seem to want to make a spectacu
lar performance really what they think
It should be.
And theie were plenty of thrills as tho
fiery procession, led by the 10,000-pound
automobile truck, dashed up tho street
under circumstances where the fallable
human clement could easily have caused
a catastrophe. The auto truck took an
extra run of a few blocks to get up
speed and started leading the horse
drawn vehicles at a thirty-mile gait, rap
Idly distancing them as the velocity in
creased to the sixty-mile limit sought
Tho firemen equipped their wagons with
original and unlquo fiery designs, each
company spurred by the strong rivalry
to excel. The result was the streets for
half a mile were abloxe with glaring
red light
Tonight at 11 o'clock the carnival will
end, and the men who have brought It
about will be entitled to congratulations
upon Its success. The attendance will
exceed that of any former year, and
there has been, less trouble and less ex
pense, assuring a larger net Income and
generally more satisfactory results.
The crowds last night were, of the same
good natured, well dressed and pleasure
seeking variety that have marked each
evening. Not an arrest has been made
during the entire week and no complaints
of bad conduct have been heard.
Despite the fact that the water has
not been as pellucent and plentiful as de
sired, Indian creek lias provided an at
tractive carnival feature, which will be
rriade use of to a much greater extent at
future carnivals. It was only possible to
materialize one of tho oft promised gon
dolas, and it was hot launched until last
ovenlng. Its high prow and rear works
were Illuminated by colored lights. It
made an additional attraction for tho
rand canal where It was launched.
Tou can have a nice player piano, $335;
a better one at 1375; still better player
pianos, Jt50J on easy terms. A. Hospe

Carnival Location
Meets Approval
With the close of the carnival today
the members of the Commercial club, thu
carnival committee and Knights of tho
rull Moon, whose unselfishness and en
trgy made' It possible, are congratulating
themselves upon the success that crowned
their efforts. They ore especially we.ll
satisfied with the demonstration of tho
tact that the carnival can be mads an
annual fete sufficiently attractive to In
terest tens of thousands of people and
the beautiful Bayllss park not be used
as the stage.
All admit that it was with considerable
trepidation that the task was undertaken
to stage the big show In tho vicinity of
tho Auditorium, where the largest open
tpace would be the plaza and where ont7
residence streets could bo used for a
background. The conviction Is fixed that
the new location has some distinct ad
vantages over the park and that the
night scenes are much more impressive
and .larger effects can he obtained at
less cost than were possible In the park.
In the daytime the park was much more
beautiful, but the contrast Is altogether
In favor of the new location when ths
lights are turned on.
Another pleasant feature Is that then
was no material Interruptions of' busi
ness or Inconveniencing of the public.
There was also still less annoyance to
owners of property and residents on the
streets Inclosed. There wcro few If any
complaints of noise and annoyance
There has been plenty of noise in the
first half of (he nights, but the strict
observance of tho decision to clear tho
grounds after 11 o'clock has brought a
quietude and silence that has been al
most painful by the sharpness of the
contrast The closing of the streets has
prevented the market gardeners and
early morning hucksters driving down
Washington avenue, and this has les
sened the usual racket to which the res!
Jents have become accustomed.
"It has been so still around hero after
mldnlghj and In the early morning that
you could hoar a pin drop," said James
Saguln, one of the nearest residents.
"All of the show people and the animals
are tired out, and they all sleep soundly
until late In the morning. There has not
been a bit of reason for complaint on the
core of noise."
The carnival managers realize the
treat possibilities that lie in the use of
Indian creek and the Auditorium, and
there will be some bold engineering don
when It comes to the planning of another
farnlvat

I. Muccl returned yesterday from Mon

Mrs. John T. Oliver to attend the Old
Settlers' picnic. Mrs. Muccl and Mrs.
Oliver remained there the guests of
friends for a few days. Mr. Muocl is
confident that It was the largest gather
ing ever held in any small town In the
state. The estimates were that more than
10,000 were present. The town was en
tirely too small to hold the automobiles
In which the majority of them went to
the picnic, and it was necessary to line
up the curs all around tho suburbs.
Mrs. Isabelle Strong, aged 76 years, died
at the Clarlnda hospital yesterday. The
body arrived here last evening for burial.
It was taken to the Woodrlng under

and one son, Lewis, living at Ogden,
Utah.
Farmers driving Into town from lone
distances to attend the carnival report
the roads to be In about as bad a con-'
dltlon as ever known. The long absence
of rain has left the earth dried out and
in excellent condition to be powdered Into
dust Vehicle wheels have worn deep
holes In tho roadways and these present
the disagreeable phenomenon or "chuck
holes." Tho roads are covered with from
two to six Inches of dust, which offers
no reststence, when the wheels of vehicles
drop Into these cavities. Drivers say that
a speed of twenty miles an hour Is as
great as It Is safe for an automobile
to be driven on any of the- dirt roads
with the exception of those having a
gumbo surface. All of the gumbo roads
in the bottom are reported to be nearly
free from dust and to be about as smooth
as asphalt whore the road drag has been
used at the proper time.

Coroner's Jury of
Opinion Shooting
Was in Self-Defense
According to tho evidence submittal at
the coroner's Inquest yesterday afternoon,
Theresa Russell, tho young nogross who
shot and killed Earl Edwards 8tone, nor
paramour, was acting In self-defense
Four witnesses, two of whom wete offi
cers who made the arrest, and the yo.inr
woman herself, gave the evidence. Tho
verdict of the Jury was that "Stone came
to his death from a pistol shot wound
from a weapon fired by the woman nnd
we bellevo sho shot In self-defense. ' The
Jury was composed of W. C. Boycr und
T. F. Flood, aldermen from the Fifth
and Sixth wards, and Frank Levin.
Levlna Fisher, keeper of the roomlwr
house on Avenue C where the shiotlng
occurred, and William Qoynor, a North
western dining cor employe, were a: '.he
house when the Bhootlng occurren, but
wore unable to give any material evi
dence, except as to tho friendly relation
ship existing between the man and the
woman. According to their story and the
talo told on the witness stand by tho
young woman herself, both were In tho
happiest frame of mind tlvo mlnutas Do
fore the man was killed.
The girl said the man accused her of
Infidelity, which she denied, and that n
sudden and violent quarrel followed. Ed
wards, or 8tone, had rocently purchwd
a second-hand ,32-callber revolver and
this was lying on tho bod upon which
they were reclining.
The girl on the witness stand told with
considerable detail all that happened.
She averred Stone declared he would kill
her and that he was choking her. In
her struggles her hand struck the te-
volvcr Just as bo reached for it. She
got it first and began shooting bltnd'.y.
She said she had no lntontlon of killing
him. but was trying to break his strangle
bold.
The coroner's verdict does not free tho
woman and she will probably be Indicted
by the grand Jury, with, however, but
little prospect of conviction. Sho was
taken back to tho city Jail and will prob
ably be formally arraigned In police court
today.
A few hours before the shooting Stone
purchased a 32 kodak and snapped the
woman's picture among his first exocrl-
mcnts. This roll of films was devMopod
yesterday and the pictures appeared.
This corroborated her testimony in rela
tion to the friendly condition that pre
vailed up to a few minutes before tho
tragedy.

Bybee Heirs Resist
Payment of Claims
Attorney F. W. Miller yesterday filed
In the district court formal resistance to
the payment of tho claims that have been
filed against the estate of Mrs. Ann By
bee, who sought to give her 310,000 farm
to the county. He Is acting In behalf of
the newly found heirs, sister, nieces and
nephews of Mrs. Bybee, who now appear
as the claimants of the estate as the sole
heirs of her estate. They are Mrs. Mary
Blgler, sister, 82 years old, residing at
Plctou. Nova Bcotta; Roblna T. Arthur,
niece, living at Portland, Me.; William
Arthur, nephew, residing at Plctou, and
Mrs. Ellen S. McDonald, living at Upper
Settlement, Dalhousle, New Brunswick:
all of whom have been discovered since
the stepchildren of Mrs. Bybee began the
suit that prevented tho gift of the farm
to the county.
In their interest the attorney attacks
the claim of 3133 tiled by Adallna Ran
som, stepdaughter, for nursing Mrs. By
bee during her last sickness and tho furth
er claim of 31.423 for nursing the aged
woman throughout many years. The
allegation Is made that the final nursing
occurred only through the month of Do
comber, 1910, at the rate of 315 a month
and that If tho period set up In the claim
Is correct the total bill would be but
367.60. The contention Is made that the
stepdaughter was to receive all of tho
money In the First National bank in this
city at the time of Mrs. Bybee's death
In full for the core she had long given
the aged woman.
At the time the will was drawn In 1910
the amount In the bank was 31,425, but
when Mrs. Bybeo died there remained a
balance of 31,300. The contention Is also
made that tho funeral expenses, aggre
gating more than 3400, can only be paid
from this money and not from the pro
ceeds of the farm. The attornoy points
out that none of the bills have been ap
proved by the administrator.

WASHINGTON, Aug. M. President
Wilson left Washington yesterday for
tho summer capital at Cornish, N. II.,
still hopeful of favorable culmination of
the negotiations undertaken by this coun
try to bring about peace In Mexico.
Although no affirmative action on
cither side h.id been reported up to the
time of the president's departure, en
couraging dispatches were received from
Nelson O'Shaughncssy, In charge of the
American embassy at Mexico City, bear
ing on the general situation. These
reached tho president a few hours before
train tlmo and led him to determine upon
a short rest over Labor day.
Nothing In tho advices from Mexico
City gave the administration officials
causa for particular anxiety, and It was
tho general conviction that a lull In the
diplomatic exchanges would bo beneficial
to all concerned. The president, it Is
known, feels that good may como from
an opportunity for the position of this
government, as announced in his mes
sage of Wednesday, to "sink In."
I.I nil's Inntrnctlon.
Excitement subsiding over tho exchango
of proposals and replies would, It Is bo
lloved, lead to further negotiations be
tween tho officials of Mexico City nnd
John Ltrid, the personal representative
of tho government Mr, Llnd, It was as
serted tonight had been Instructed from
Washington to continue to act at his own
discretion as to whether he should await
developments at Vera Cruz, or return to
Mexico City, Up to a late hour, no dis
patches had boen received at the State
department from Mr. Llpd.
Secretary Bryan sold before leaving
for an overnight Chautauqua trip In
Pennsylvania that he believed tho onvuy
would remain In Vera Cruz tonight
Early In tho day Mr. Bryan conterrnd
with the president over tho repl of
Scnor Gamboa, Mexican secretary 'of for
eign affairs, to Mr. Llnd's second noto
They also considered a message sent by
Mr. Llnd to Washington yesterday after
noon. That these latest communications
gave a reason for hopeful expectations
was frely admitted.
Opentnir for Future Moves.
Mr. Llnd, It was reported, probnbly
would make the next move In the nego
tiations, which tho president emphatically
asserted In his message- had not been
closed and It Is believed resumed on the
Initiative of either nation. The fact that
the Mexico City officials In their second
noto of reply had receded from the de
mand for an exchange of accredited am
bassadors, It was pointed out left an
opening for futuro moves. Tho view was
expressed that tho Gamboa reply to the
second American note might actuate Mr.
Llnd to address a third note to tno offi
cials of the Huorta government Acting
at his own discretion, It was suggeilod,
tho American representative mlgnt for
ward a message to Mexico City from
Vera Cms before determining upon go
ing to the Mexican capital In person tor
a renewal of direct negotiations.
Tunmltr on Job.
Before deciding to go to Cornish, Pres
ident Wilson discussed the sltuatlui at
length with cabinet officers and arrange
ments were made whereby be could be
notified at onco of any development.
Should anything happen to require nls
presence iri Washington before Tuesday
he planned to return at a moment's no
tice. Mr. Tumulty, secretary to the pres
ident, remained lri Washington touljrh
to be in direct touch with developments,
planning to go to his New Jersey home
tomorrow, howover, upon the return of
Secretary Bryan.
Hundreds of telegrams and letters
reached the White House today from all
parts of th country expressing approval
of President Wilson's message on Mexico.
Theso were not made public, but tho
president Is known to have been highly
gratified at the sympathetic reception his
course had received.
"Very KnconrnirlnK."
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29. "I am glad
to say that the Mexican matter looks
very encouraging at the present tlmo and
I believe It is going to grow brighter
every day," declared Secretary of State
William J. Bryan today at Doyloatown,
where he" delivered a lecture. "I an
ticipate no trouble, believing that good
sense and Judgment on the part of
Mexico will eventually prevail."
When asked If It was true that Presi
dent Huerta has requested John Llnd,
President Wilson's personal representa
tive, to return to Mexico City for tlio
purpose of arranging a compromise on
the proposals of the United States, Mr.
Bryan said:
"Mr. Llnd is still at Vera Cruz. How
long he will remain, there and whether
he will go to Mexico City for furthnr
negotiations, I am not prepared to say.
That Is something that has not been
decided."

WAS CAMINETTI ABDUCTED?
Court Asks Defense if Attempt Made
to Prove Him Taken Along:.
MAESHA CONTINUES HER STORY
Goes Less Into Detn.ll Thnn When
Bho Was on the StaJid Dnvtna
Trial of Dfffirs No Ses
sion Held Todny.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. JO.-The
trial of F. Drew Catmnettl rolled swiftly
forward today In the groove worn for It
by the trial Immediately preceding ot
Maury I. IMgc, convicted of the same
charge, Tho witnesses and the evidence
ot the government wore with tew excep
tions Identically the same, the testimony
was almost the same, nnd, so tar as
could be judged, tho tactics of the de
fense were the same.
Marsha Warrington had the stand tor
the greater part of the day, and her
testimony went to show that Catnlnettl
was guilty ot assisting In transporting
her and Lola Norris from tiacramento
to Reno, In violation ot the Mann white
slave traftto net, and that he persuaded,
Induced and enticed them to go.
Efforts of Defense.
The effort of the defense was to prove
that Camlnettl had played a passive
pnrt. One passage ot the cross-examina
tion I representative of its whole trend.
"At thu meeting between Dlggs, Caml
nettl, Miss Norris and yourself on the
Saturday before you left for Reno the
meeting at which you two girls agreed
to go Mr. Diggs did all tho talking and
Mr. Camlnettl sat by and agreed to ev
evttilug by keeping quiet Is that the way
you wish to be understood r'
"Mr. Camlnettl agreed to everything."
"But he agreed passively, did ho notT"
Here the court interrupted. "Is it your
theory, Mr. Howe," asked Judge Van
meet, "that Mr. Camlnettl was taken
along also?"
"Our theory Is, your honor, that Mr.
Camlnettl had nothing to do with the
taking ot theso girls to Reno. The Party
went and ho went along with It. We don't
contend that he was abduoted, but we
held that, because ot certain conditions,
that party of four found It necessary tb
leave Sacramento without delay and took
the first train, without rogard to Its
destination."
Csuntnett! Paralitica Money.
Against this contention was the testi
mony of Miss Warrington today that
Camlnettl had furnished tho money for
the trip and that he had given of It
to Lola Norris, out ot which sho should
buy her passage. In this statement, and
In her repeated nfflrmatlon that Cam
lnettl had agreed to everything that
Dlggs had proposed, the witness was not
snaKen.
On the whole, the story drawn from
her today went less Into detail than when
she told it the first Ume. Counsel for
tho government was more considerate,
and when a brief redirect examination
shall have been finished next Tuesday,
the girl's ordeal will be over. Lola Norris
will follow her on tho stand.
