CONVENTION HALL CROWDED SO THAT MORE AHE REFUS? El> ADMITTANCE. situation Serious When ClUllUll Or? ders Tluil None but Relegate.-, um? Reporters be Admitted. Baltimore. July 1.?Convention haU was almost stampeded tonight by thousands ol people who were refused admission after Chairmun Janit>8 had ordered the police to ad? mit no one except delegates. alter? nates and members of the press. When the order was issued the po? lice were having trouble prevent? ing crushes at the door and in the streets around the hall. Within a few minutes the authorities were con? fronted with a situation so serious that reserves were sent for and the crowds driven back from the doors. In front of the hall the street was roped off at each extreme of the building and double lines of police were stationed across the streets. No one was permitted through these lines without a delegate's badge and ticket or press badge and ticket. By 10 o'clock it was estimated 2,000 persons were crowded in the streets clamoring for admission, but no one could elude the police. It was the first time since the convention began that precautions were necessary to avert possible ac? cident in the hall and at the door. The police orders were so strict that several delegates who had for? gotten their badges were excluded from the hall for an hour before they could get word to the Inside and ob? tain identification. The hall itself was filled to Its ca? pacity, hundreds being permitted to stand in the aisles around the seat sections on the ground floor. MR. WELLS MAKES REPLY. Bid Not Intend to Offend His Neigh? bors, But Wishes to Work for the Good of All Schools In District. Mr. fedltor: I profoundly regret that any of the patrons or friends of tht schools in Privateer were offend? ed, as Mr. J. Dargan Osteen says they were, by my communication in your issue of the lid instant. Especially am I grieved that my life long friend, one for whotri 1 have had, and still have, the kindliest regard, should be SO offended, and have so misunder? stood my spirit and purpose us to im? pute to me such base motives as he has. Of each and every one of his charges I must plead that I an? Inno? cent. In my article I tried to deal with gen. ral principles and did not go Into ib tails. 1 have no apology to make for my piece, but reiterate every word. I will ask my friend to eft down, and calmly read my piece again, and he will see that I advocat? ed everything that he does, along the line of giving to each school its full share of the s? nool funds Whether they consolidate or not, 1 opposed ?empulsory consolidation. What more can Mr. J. Pargan ostecn wish or ask for. I have ? deep totere*! lit the schools Of Ottr enure county and State. but e.-peeially so in our rural school*, and it would ill become use to make tun df the patrons and friends of the sm iii schools, who re my neighbor* rid friends, and arc the OOOJ I am most Interested In, end seek most lo aid. i disclaim any such Intention. "Oh wad some power the git tie gle us. to sc? oursei? as ithers see US," and perhaps we could avoid Charyh dis and (Wt fal> into Scylla. i consider "Render" u reactionary ml it I differ from him and poke a little fun at him, it Is bee a list l ?io not recognise him as the whole of the school district. nor as voicing its sentiments, "Reader" should be sble to take rare Of himself and willing to take Knocks as well as five them. Although i am no! particularly anx? ious to knot k him, and only Intended my ad\ lee lo him in a friendly way, My whole purpose is for the better? men! of tie schools In Privateer, and if 1 err. it will beNof the load and HOI of the1 heart.

With Macltioe 1,000 Feet in Air, it Tilts sharply. Throwing Roth It* Passengers into Space, Boston, July 1.?Miss Harriet Quim? by of New York the first woman to win an aviator's license in America and the (lrit woman to cross the En jglish Channel in an aeroplane, was I instantly killed With her passenger, W. a. WUlard, manager of the Uos jton aviation meet, at Allantie tonight, jwhen her Bleriot monoplane tell into j Dorchester Bay from a height of a 1 thousand feet. The accident happen !ed when Miss Quimby nnd Wiliard were returning from a trip over Bos? ton harbor to Boston light, a distance of 20 miles in all. The flight was made in 20 minutes. The Bleriot, one of the latest models of military mono? plane, circled the aviation field and soared out ever the Savin Hill Yacht club, just ouiside the aviation grounds. Heading back into the eight-mile gusty wind Miss Quimby started to volplane. The angle was too sharp and one of the gusts caught the tail of the monoplane, throwing the ma? chine up perpendicular. For an instant it poised there. Then, sharply outlined against the setting sun, Willard was clear of the chas? sis, followed almost Immediately by Miss Quimby. Hurtling over and over the two tigures shot downward, strik? ing the water 20 feet from shore. They splashed out of sight a second before the monopll ne plunged down IS feet away. It w.'s low tide and the water was only fiVi fett deep. I Men from the yacht club in motor boats were ot ti e spjbt quickly and leaping overboard, dragged the bodies out of the mud into which they had i 1 sunk deeply. Sex era I of Miss QirJna l y's bor.es were broken and there were many large bruises. Wi! lard, who weighed 190 pounds, hit *ihe wate: face Ural and over one eye there was gash from which the ( blood das flowing, He too sustained Several fractures and bruises. When the \ Ictima were brought ashore they were taken to the Qniney hospital, A. Leo Stevens, of New York, manager of Miss Quimby. and Miss Quirn by's friand, Mrs. f feien Vanderbilt, who were both witnesses of the accident, were prostrated. Before going up on their last flight, Miss Quimby and Mr. Willard were talking and laughing with their friends. Wiliard making jokes about j his weight and Mfss Quimby talking confidently about ?ier plans to* make an altitude record in the future that WOUld stand as a woman's high mark. In ' inssing the English channel on April 1?'.. Miss Quimby flew at an altitude of fi.OOo feet which was be? lieved to be the record for women. | Miss Quimby said today she felt sure She COUld better this mark, ai Ithough she M'6 not believe she could exceed the record of 18,94$ feet set by Qaros. 1 ???(? sslng 4'.'v matter of coming down In the water, if the engine lahoubl fail durinw; the I'.ight ov<?r the i harbor; Miss Quimby said to a fraud just before she left the ground: I "A water hi ruling is all right ?n a j Bb-i lot unless you come down bead I first, Fn that case the heavy motor I at the extreme forward end of the machine would drag the monoplane [deep into the water und >ink it, But, ; if we come down pancake' the broad j wings would It oat us for two hours or i more," hen with a height smile she made th. significant remark: j "But 1 a ma eat and 1 don't 1 ke i like cold water." The monoplane, painted a pore white, dart, d at great speed over the harbor. Tin motors developed u speed at times of from 76 to 100 miles an hour, An exammtalon of the aneroid barometer after the fall show led that at times the daring pilot had Id fir ted to a height of 5,000 feet, t >n the return the great machine was aeen t.. wobble In the gusty breese.

Tindal, June :!0.?The cotton crop is Improving s.jrn<-, although it ta small for the season and the farmers seem to be about up with the grass In most instances. Corn is small, but looks healthy, and is being laid by. Air. A. J. Jones' prize acre of coin is the best I have seen, to a farmer it is a delight to the eye. Whale the whipping post is not a lawful custom in Privateei still we hear that a ^aard was used to good advantage a few days ago by a prom? inent farmer on one of his hands, which action was duly and properly sanctioned by the courts. We are glad to say, however, that this is not a general custom, for It was admin? istered by everyone to those, who in their judgment needed it, readers might be In danger of getting a share. While no announcement from headquarters has been given out. It is generally understood that .Mr. W. J. Ingram having failed to get the superintendent's office in the Sunday school, has decided to withdraw from the race for Magistrate in order that the present "incumbrance" might continue his roars and growls. We take this opportunity of correct? ing the impression (hat "Header" is the worst enemy of the Sunday school which the superintendent has of hirru He always has been in favor of Sun? day schools and has spoken favorab,> Of this one more than once. He ad? mires the stand the superintendent has taken, which is "to run the Sun? day school three months. June. July and August regardless of the opin? ions, good or had, of the entire com? munity." The other smaller animals have been out s?> long that they are de? termined to fight for their places. Mr. W. D.
