14. After having built a fine road up Plegah mountain to his estate at Blltmore, George Vanderbilt realized today that he must spend $20,000 more be cause he cannot get his automobile around the turns. As the road has been built especially for autnobtles, Mr. Vanderbilt took out his machln for a spin on toe new roadway today. To his surprise he found that the turns in the road were so abrupt that his big touring car could not negotiate them without going off a steep embankment.

This was found to be the caae at nearly every turn in the road, which the party in- efti gated on horseback. The road will be resurveyea ana probably completed by fall.

TREATY IN CANADA Startling Declarations Made That Lumber, Paper and Beef Trusts Have Amass ed Large Boodle Fund to Defeat Passage of Reci procity Bill by Purchasing Members of Canadian Electorate Headquarters of Corruptionists Alleged to Be Located in New York City Information Said to Be Authentic.

PROPAGANDA TO OVERTURN MEASURE ALREADY STARTED (By International News.) Washington. Auk. 14. Definite in ormatlon that a final resort to the use of a corruption fund has been determined upon to defeat reciprocity in Canada has been received in administration circles here. Specifically, the lumber trust, the paper trust and the trust are in the field with every sum that may be deemed necessary to buy the Canadian electorate.

Again specifically, the lumber trust will spend 1.000.000 to save the $1.50 tax on lumber which will be wiped out If Canada in the pending election votes In favor of the reciprocity pact. The headquarters of the boodle funds will be in New York, not far from th offices of the paper trust. A high official of the paper concern will be In charge of the campaign. And so; certain is it that these facts are beyond dispute that an Investigation is already under way intended to trace the money back from the points of distribution in Canda to its source in New York. Campaign Mapped Out.

The N. S. correspondent learned these facts today upon indisputaoie authority. A plan of campaign has been mapped out, not Hn genius only, but dastardly in the double respect that it looks to the corruption of a considerable body of the Canadian electorate by the stirring up of racial and national prejudices, to the disruption, in fact of the friendly relations that exist between Canada, and the United States. The plan la to beat reciprocity on the ground that it is the forerunner of annexation.

A propaganda is under way to show, or attempt to show to the Canadians by innuendo, by the distortion of statements of statesmen and the press, by absolute forgery of public utterances, that there is concealed behind Presiaent Taft's reciprocity plan a purpose later on to force Canada to become part of the United States. "Special Correspondence." Newspapers are to be supplied with 'special correspondence" from the states to help along the propaganda. These facts are known to administration officials here, and there is good reason to believe that they have communicated to the officials of the Lur-ier administration at Ottawa. RIOT RUMORS ARE FOUND TO HAVE NO FOUNDATION Reports of Further Killing and Depredations By Negroes Untrue. Durant, Aug.

PRESIDENT DECIDES NOT TO PRESS ARBITRATION Attempt to Hare Senate Act Favorably Means Long Debates.

Washington.Aug. 14. President Taft has about decided not to press the Senate to ratify the arbitration treaties at the special session of -Congress. After his return from Beverly today the President learned that an attempt to have the Senate act favorably on tne pacts at this time might result in long debate and that finally they might be agreed to only in modified He was informed that many senators had taken umbrage at his speech at Mountain Lake park last week, asking for the moral support of the people to force the people to act on treaties. Bather than antagonize more senators and render the chances of ratification less certain, the President is under stood to have reached the conclusion not to fight for them at present.

TRIED FOR MURDER OMN'SBODY IN FIELD AT Mystery Surrounds Apparent Murder of Girl Who Wat Shot Through Tempi With Revolver Which I Found Inside Coat -Body So Badly Decomposed Theft Identification Is ImpossiblePolice' Bafflled None Reported Missing SUICIDE THEORY SCOUTED; BY MEDICAL AUTHORITIES (Special Correspondence of The Courier.) Niagara Falls, Aug. 14. The body of a young woman who. In the opinion of Coroner Harry R.

Ernes, was murdered, was found this 'afternoon In a field two miles outside of Lewiston, near -where the Ridge road is crossed by the Indian Hill road. The woman, it is thought, met ler death within the past three months. There was a bullet hole through the right and death must have been. Instantaneous, accord- Ing to Dr. Ernes.

A rusty revolver was found inside the coat of the victim, near the waist line. It had been placed there care- fully, after Uie woman was shot, from all appearances. In the revolver were found one loaded bullet and two empty cartridges. Couldn't Have Shot Self. Dr.

Ernes says that it would have been Impossible for the woman to shoot herself and place the revolver in the position In which it was found. Also, In his opinion. It would be impossible for her to shoot. herself through the temple and assume the position on the ground In which she was found. 8he was stretched at-full length on her back, except, the right leg was drawrn up under the body.

Dr. Ernes thinks it is probable that the woman was shot nearby and the body dragged to the spot where It was The spot is the for joy-riding automobiltsts who -use the Indian. Hill road for a short cut 'to Buffalo from Lewiston. Chief William' Johnston of the Tuscarora Indians, who owns property adjacent to the place, said today that frequently during the present summer he has been compcried1" forcibly to eject parties of autoists -from his property. He said they would stop their machines near the intersection of the Ridge and Indian Hill roads, and carouse for hours In the vi- -clnlty 'of the place where the body was found today.

Body Badly Decomposed. The body of the woman was discovered about 4:30 o'clock by George French, a fireman on the steamship Chippewa, He went for' a walk this afternoon and happened to take the Ridge road. When at the Intersection of. the Indian Hill road he cut into the lot at the corner, and at a point about 100 feet distant from either highway stumbled on the body. It was almost hidden by weeds.

French notified Coroner Ernes of Lewiston of his discovery and an Investigation was at once started. Dr. Emes found that the supposed murder victim was a woman of between twenty and thirty years of age. Identification from the features was impossible on account of the decomposed condition of the body. She was about five feet tall and must have been of slight build.

The teeth, which were quite prominent, were In perfect conditibn. The clothing of the woman consisted of a white serge suit with black stripes. The -coat and skirt were cut In the prevailing mode of the summer and underneath was a white li.ee waist. I Berolver. In Waist.

There was no Jewelry found on the body, but a white lace handkerchief. embroidered In one corner, was found In the pocket of the coat, also an i aluminum collapsible drinking The coat was drawn close to the on pulling one of the lapels aside, Coroner Emes found the-thirty-two calibre revolver lying near the waist. Through the right temple was the bullet hole, showing that death must have been instantaneous, and coupling this fact with 'the position of the revolver. Coroner Emes arrived at the conclusion that he had a -murder mystery on his hands. So far as can be learned no woman Is missing from this vicinity.

The coroner, is of the opinion that if the mystery Is ever. cleared up the victim will prove to be a stranger to this locality and In all probability came from Buffalo, He is strong In his convic tion that -she was one of a party of Joy tng.au tomobill its. He had the remains brought to Lewiston and will -hold an Inquest tomorrow. No Girl Missing Here. Acting Police Chief Martin, when seen last night, said that mo far.

al INTO LUKE HIGH ALTITUDES Chicago Meet Marred by Accidents but Birdmen Have Luck With Them Escaping Injuries When Aeroplanes Fall in Water SKYMEN SUFFER WETTING BUT ARE SOON RESCUED Hydro-aeroplane Goes to Aid of Simon, Who Was Struggling in Water, bu Is Not Used Officia Launch on Spot: i (By International News.) Chicago. Aug. 14. Spectators at the aviation meet today were horrified when two of the competing birdmen dived intothe lake. Rene Simon was the first to strike the water.

He was rescued by -a launch. At 6:45 o'clock Lee Hammond's; 'Red Devil" Baldwin monoplane plunged into the water with him near the four-mile crib, i The Hfesavlng crew and the police boat, augmented by a large fleet of prl vate power boats, rushed to the rescue of the imperiled air man. Hammond was picked up by the official patrol launch of the aviation directors which arrived in the nick of time. aviator was swimming as calmly! as a few minutes before he had been flying. His monoplane sank and the Hfesavlng crew, under command of Capt.

Car- land, devoted its attention to dragging for the machine. Several times their grappling hook caught the wings or wires, but each time the hold was broken and the "Red Devil" sank again. i Shoots Downward Fast. Hammond had covered the first lap of the fourteen-mile speed race twice around the four-mile crib and was a quarter of a mile on his way toward slore again when his monoplane was seen to quiver and plunge downward like a suddenly loosed plummet. A cry went up from the packed stands and was echoed from Michigan avenue ana the windows of hotels and clubs.

Like A. wounded bird the monoplane settled limply and helplessly- -on, the water bat unlike a bird it did not noat. The man at the levers could be seen from shore with glasses, and It was be lieved the first fatality of the world's greatest aviation meet had been record ed. Race For Begins. From every point of the compass boats turned their noses toward the point where Hammond dropped and a unique race for a life was begun.

The vigilant committee boat, however, proved Its worth and reached the fallen blrdman first. Hammond was the least excited of those figured in the reecUe. The launch bearing him to lan passea Capt. Carland's crew on the way out. "Hello, there, young man," shouted Carland.

"That was almost your finish, wasn't it?" 'Oh. I'm all risrht. except that I'm a little wet," replied Hammond, wav ing his hand. "Much obliged, thougn. for going out after me." "I hope you will never have such a narrow, squeeze again," called the life saver.

Simon Then Falls. Simon had a less moist experience. He had been loafing in the sky. adding to his score in the duration tests, and for a change decided to loiter a while near the surface of the lake. One of the small accidents that transform an aeroplane in a moment into a machine of death occurred to his aeroplane.

It started to drop, but Simjm was cool in the. emergency and jerked his levers so that the monoplane made graceful sweep as it struck the water. With the agility of a gymnast, Si mon leaped upon the framework and failed even to get the splash of the machines To the great relief of -the watchers on shore, the monoplane floated. Scene Is unique. The scene that ensued was unique In the history of the world.

Hugh -Rob inson was standing near his hydroaeroplane In front of the hangars when the alarm "man in the water" was given. Robinson leaped into nis land and water" flyer and) in an instant was in the air. He was over Simon in less than two minutes from the time he received word of his brother aviator's mishap. "Are you all right 7 he called to Simon. 'She's floating perfectly and boats coming," replied the shipwrecked air man.

"I can get down close and letyou limb aboard." ald Robinson. Thanks." said Simon. "I'll be O. K. here until they come." "All right.

I'll stand by until they pick you up. At you feel your plane sinking let me know and I'll take you off." A few minutes later the official launch reached Simon. The rescuers found him sitting on top of his monoplane cmoking a cigarette. I was afraid I'd get my siix socks wet," was Simon's greeting. Sopwith Is Fined.

NEW FLIGHT MARK Makes Thrilling Descent on Aviation Field After Breaking American Record for Single Day Flight Makes Only Two Stops TRIP OF 286 MILES MADE WITHOUT SINGLE HITCH Hardy Aviator Flies From Str Louis on Way East in Five Hours, Forty-three Minutes, Suffering Nothing but Buzzing in Ears. Chicago, Aug. 14. By flying the 28 miles between St.

Louis and Chicago with only two Intermediate stops, five hours forty-three minutes actual flying time today, Harry N. Atwood of Boston believes he has set a vpace which will result in establishing a new record on his flight by aeroplane from St. Louis to New York and Boston. As it is Atwood appears to have broken the American record for a single day flight. The best previous American record was made by Atwood himself when he flew 148 miles from Atlantic City to Baltimore on July 10.

191L The best International crosscountry record is held by Andre Beaumont, who, in the Paris-Rome contest, covered 40 miles in. a single day, but he made three landings, while Atwood today landed only twice. Atwood In a Burgess-Wright biplane left St. Louis at 8:05 o'clock. He landed in Chicago at 6:19 o'clock.

His total time bet wen St. Louis and Chicago, counting the delays occasioned by the two stops was ten hours and fourteen minutes; but his actual time in the air, computed by deducting the delays, was five hours and forty-three minutes. This, Atwood asserts, is three hours and twelve minutes less than the scheduled time for express trains for the same distance. Descent Is Thrilling. Atwood's descent into Chicago was thrilling.

Sailin in from the southwest, a lone speck in -the clouds, he made direct for the down-town district, and for a time hovered unnoticed in the distance over the. skyscrapers. Thou sands people were crowded at the lake front Intent upon the flights 'of the aeroplanes competing. In the aviation contests. Atwood appeared on the scene as a unheralded and expected only by afew.

Suddenly the crowd the on-coming stranger and someone shouted "That's Atwood from St. Louis." Immediately the vast assembly waa In an uproar. Two or three of the airmen sailed out to meet Atwood. Coming steadily onward, Atwood steered over the aviation field and circled around it while some of the machines listed in the meet followed behind as an escort. Once around At wood descended gracefully.

1 touching the ground for the first time since his stop at Pontiac, ninety-one miles from Chicago. Expects to Reduce Time. Originally he set ten days as the maximum time for completing the 1.460 miles to Boston, but he now be lieves he will be able materially to reduce that time. He had expected not to be able to reach Chicago before tomorrow, but favorable weather and ttje excellent working of his machinal Induced him to shorten his stops. HlsH first stop, which was made at Spring field, ninety-eight miles from St.

Louis, after a two hour and twenty-five minute flight, was to fulfil a promise. Instead of remaining there until 3 o'clock, however, he got away two hours earlier. He was scheduled to. stop at Bloomington, but the crowd assembled at his proposed land ing place there was so dense he could not find clear space enough to land In safety, so he swept low and nodding his head negatively at the people, continued. At Pontiac he descended to replenish his supply of gasolene and lubricating olL Suffers little.

All that suffered by' the man who thus shot through the air at a speed greater than that of an express train was a slight buzz in his ears, caused by the chugging, of his engines. Tomorrow morning Atwood will re sume his Journey eastward. He said he probably would take a course along the Lake Shore railroad. BOILERMAKERS' STRIKE ON P.
