IN FEARLESS FLIGHT DARING AIR-KINGS DAZZLHHE WORLD Eleven Aviators Soar Over the Historic English Channel and Alight Airily in Dover Mon day Momlng DOVER, Enr. >z July X—Only by mak ing the cross-channel flight under some extraordinary circumstances will any aviator ever be able hereafter to gain any particular glory from the .After today the flight must be considered an ordinary affair, for the morning saw no less than eleven airmen, contestants In the European circuit race, win their way across the channel and alight in Dover as easily as a flock of blrd£. might have done. Moreover, eno of the elevon, Renaux, carried a passenger in his bl-plane. The morning was perfect, hardly a breath of wind ruffling the surface of the channel as the pick of Europe's ex pert aviators headed from Calais for this shore. The air was as still when they landed on the Downs here. A great crowd had surrounded the landing place in anticipation of the ar rival of the birdmen. They had but a short watt before Ve drtnoa consistently the loader in the previous stages of the race, drove his monoplane out of a bank of fleecy clouds that hung low over the channel. He made a circuit of the aerodrome and landed gracefully. The flight from Calais had been accomplished In about half an hour. ON TO LONDON. The other contestants followed in quick! succession. Seven monoplanes were almost bunch ed, then came two biplanes, and anoth er monoplane brought up -oe rear. One by ont, the machines appeared over the trees, - swept down to the aerodrome circled It, and landed without sem blance of a mishap. There was none of the excitement that had characterised the iinisb of the previous cross-cuannel flights, nor were the aviators exhausted. Instead u.ey crawled from their aero planes and calmly walked away with friends while their machines were ta ken to the hangars to be ovet nauled. Soon after the last of the 11 aviators had landed the wind began to freshen, and it was decided to start immediately on the next stage of the contest —to Shoreham and thence to London. The start was accordingly ma -. and with the same precision that had character ised the arrival at Dover, the machines left at two minute intervals, only one exceeding that time and that only by a few seconds. Vedrines arrived at Shoreham at 7:’B, followed by all the others excepting Train and Gibert. The former descend ed at New xiaven and the latter at East Bourne. Again Vedrines led the way, starting for Hendon at 7:36. ♦ ♦ e- THESE GUESTS TOOK "NIP” ♦ > OF BOLE WEEVEL POISON ♦ ♦ MISTAKEN FOB WHISHT. ♦ ♦ WESSON, Miss., July X—After ♦ ♦ drinking "boll weevil poison” for ♦ ♦ what they thought was whisky, ♦ ♦ two young men named Brown and ♦ ♦ Allen are out of danger today, ♦ due to the heroic efforts of phy- ♦ ♦ slcians.

J. ns DIED PEACEFULLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON Famous Georgian Passed Away, Full of Years and Honors, After a Long Period of Illness Gael. Clamant A. Evans died, full of yearn and honors, at hla Atlanta home, 167 Capitol avenue, Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock after a protracted Illness. Georgia's great hero of the civil war, former commander of. the United Con federate veterans, prison commissioner of the state and prospective appointee to the office of adjutant general of Geor gia's peace troops passed away just at the time when new and signal honors were to be conferred upon him. Hla waa a patriarchal death for the end came quietly, peacefully, as the old man lay expectant and resigned, with members of the family gathered around the bedside. GEORGIA LOVED HIM. in the eyes of Georgia General Evans was perhaps the last splendidly pictur esque and almost classic figure among tae great surviving leaders of the strug gle between the states. In Georgia, his passing means not only the loss of a great cltlaen, but the extinction of a type. Men survive aa brave as he, but none, perhaps, whose personality re flected so strongly, so visually, the in carnate spirit of the martial south. He was a warrior to the last—but, paradoxi cally. he radiated too the spirit of peace and kindness. General Evans had been in falling health for several years, and during the past few months had suffered periods of illnesd? recurring with Increasing fre quency, that fofoed his family, his friends and the public to a realisation that his days were numbered. But the death came nonetheless as a severe and painful shock. FAILING SINCE 1909. It is said that General Evans never fully recovered from an attack of la grippe that seized him in 1909. Since that period the trouble had been complicat ed by muscular rheumatism and the feebleness that comes with declining years. Nothing but the iron constitution that brought him through the war though wounded five times, caused him to survive even as long as he did the continuous ravages of illness. Had General Evans not been in a state of complete prostration Saturday that presaged the end, he would have been sworn in as adjutant general of the state by appointment of Governor Hoke Smith, to succeed Gen. A. J. Scott. The parents of General Evans, who was the youngest of three children and an only son, were Anselm Evans and Mrs. Sarah Brayn Evans. His sisters were Mrs. Martha Graham, who died in Atlanta several years ago, and Mrs. Jane Hill who HVsd and died tn Americus. In 1864 General Evans married Miss AU- Ue Walton, of Stewart county. There were five children by this marriage, all of whom are now living, and are as fol lows: Mrs. William F. Eve, of Augusta; Mr. Lawtdn B. Evans, of Augusta; Messrs. Paul H. and Clement W. Evans, of Mexico City, and Mrs. Robert G. Ste phens, of Atlanta. Mrs. Evans died in 1884, and in 1886 General Evans married Mrs. Sarah A vary Howard, of Augusta. By this mar riage ho had one daughter, Miss Sarah Lee Evana Mrs. 8. A. Magill and Mrs. Mary Howard Meador, of Atlanta, are bls stepdaughters. General Evans’ sec ond wife died in October, 1902. FUNERAL WEDNESDAY. The funeral services will be conducted at the First Methodist church iome tiro* Wednesday, the exact details to be an nounced later. Signal honors will be paid Jdm by the general assembly, by the sen ate, and by his former comrades in arms. The Confederate veterans of Atlana will attend the funeral tn a body, every camp being represented. The house and senate now stand ad journed until Wednesday. Immediately upon its reconvening Wednesday morn ing, details will be arranged for the trib ute the legislature will pay. The whole community and the people of the state at large join in mourning Gen eral Evans’ death. General Evans will have a state fu neral in which Governor Smith, state house officers, members of the general assembly and the National Guard of the state will participate. It is planned to have the body of the distinguished sol dier lie in state stt the capitol Wednes day fro mil until 8 o'clock, guarded by an escort from the military of the state. The complete arrangements for the fu neral await a conference between mem bers of General Evans' family and Gov ernor Smith. These will be perfected Monday afternoon, and the governor will rely upon acting Adjutant General Wil liam G. Obear to carry them out. The state flag flying over the capttol, was placed at half mast Monday morning Immediately upon the governor’s arrival at the capitol. . » Subsequently the governor Issued the following proclamation with reference to the death of General Evans: GOVERNOR’S PROCLAMATION. Executive Department, Atlanta, Go., July 8,19 U. It is with deep sorrow that I announce the death of General Clement A. Evans which occurred at his residence in the city of Atlanta at 4:40 o’clock on the afternoon of July 2nd. In his death the state of Georgia has lost one of Its most valuable and faithful public servants. He was a great Confederate general, a statesman of wide experience, a conse crated minister of the gospel, a faithful publls official and a true citizen, whose will be mourned throughout the entire land. Therefore as an expression of the deep sorrow of the people of Georgia, and as a mark of respect to his memory, it is, Ordered, That the flag on the state capitol be displayed at half mast for the period of ten days, and that the officers in the capttol be closed during the hours apart for the funeral services. HOKE SMITH, Governor. VETERANS TO MEET. The members of Camp W. H. T. Walk er No. 295, U. C. V., have been requested by their officers to meet at the court house at 7 o’clock, July 4. to take action in regard to funeral services of General Evans. • General Evans will be burled in the lot where the Confederate soldiers rest at Oakland.

( i ".. ■ , eve *■' \ow“ rt Jt "’ eS i v THE NEW COMMANDMENT GERMAN INVASION ■ OE MOROCCO HOLDS IHECWM SPOT Premier Caillaux Takes Over Conduct of Foreign Office and Will Direct Attitude of France Temporarily (By Associated Trass.) PARIS, July B.—Foreign Minister de Zelves did not remain in Paris today, but accompanied President Fallieres to Holland. Yesterday it was announced that M. de Selves had changed his plans and would stay here as a consequence of the new situation brought about in Morocco by the determination of Ger many to send a gunboat to Agadir. Premier Caillaux has taken over the conduct of the foreign office pending M. drf Zelves’ return end will direct France's attitude eoncarnlng German intervention in Morocco. Aa France was merely notified of the fact accomplished, namely, that a Ger man war* ship had been despatched to z»gadlr, it Is possible tijat this govern ment will not send a reply to Berlin, but like Germany, will decide upon a course of action and then adopt it. It is not unlikely that, after consult ing with Great Britain, France may send a war ship to Agadir, as ths Al geclrras act authorizes the policing or the Moroccan coast by Franco in con junction with Spain. Although the German action waa sud den, France had been anticipating a move of some sort by Germany be cause of Spain’s extension of her mili tary in the north of Moroc co, a policy which Franco has steadily opposed as leading to the idea that the agreement of Algeirras was dead and that Morocco was to be dismembered. The French press continues calm, but urges the government to codduct the situation with a firm hand. AUTO RACER KILLED TRYING OUT CHANGE NEW YORK, July B—Charles Robinson a driver for the S, P. O. automobile man ufacturing company, was killed Saturday afternoon at the new motordome at Brighton beach, which is to be the scene of racing next week.

Every rib in his body was broken and his skull frightfully fractured. Willard, Robinson's mechanician, jumped and es caped. The driver of the sprinkling cart waa sent flying but escaped with a few bruises. J The track management had warned all entrants for next week’s races to keep off the course while it was being sprin kled but Robinson disobeyed.

HUDSON'S REQUEST Both the Commissioner and the Governor Anticipated Ault Resolution—Formdr in Liter of June 20 to Governor-Elect, and Latter in Address Written Several Days Ago The Ault foeolutlon providing for an investigation of the state agricultural department, anticipated the recommenda tion of Governor Smith in this regard, and the governor, it appears, was moved to suggest an inquiry through the efforts of Commissioner of Agriculture Thomas G. Hudson. Representative Ault intro duced his resolution on Friday, and the governor’s inaugural address to the as sembly on Saturday ' contained sugges tions along this same line. The address was written several days ago. Commissioner Hudson as rar book as June 20th wrote to Governor Smith, sug gesting the wisdom of an investigation of the affairs of his department, with a view to helping the farmers of the state. And in his address, the governor em bodied the suggestion of the commis sioner. Governor Smith said tn his address: “fl ths legislature wonia create a commission and this commission was given authority to obtain fre access to all matters connected #ith the depart ment of agriculture; bringing before them, if necessary, the employees ana appointees of the department, this com mission should be able to suggest amend ments to the fertilizer ana oil laws COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE > - ' MAKQS ANALYSIS OF SOIL ATHENS, Ga., July B.

It has been the custom of the Dies for years to hold this three days' dance annually. They believe that It will prevent Illness among their tribes men and especially Is It a preventive of consumption. For seventy-two hours the Indians went without food except such nourishment as oould be sucked from a willow twig carried In the mouth as they would Incessantly prance back and forth and around the sacred trees of the tribe. which would enable the commissioner to better protect the interests or tne farm ers and to do so at much less expense than that which is required under the present law." It appears from letters on file in the department of agriculture that Commis sioner Hudson himsslf wrots to Gover nor Smith on June 30th. suggesting that “a commission should be appointed by the legislature—given free access to ths department of agriculture and author ized to bring before them such men and appointees of the department" as would enable them to perfect the laws for the protection of the fanners of the state. In view of the fact that Governor Smith recommends it, and that Commis sioner Hudson himself approves ana urges an investigation, there can be no question as to the welcome with which the Ault' resolution )s recoivea. Commis sioner Hudson is not only willing, but he is anxious for an investigation. It will be observed from the gover nor’s and from Commissioner Hudson's letter that they agree that there should be an investigation, and that the Investigators should, be author ized to summon appointees of the depart ment of agriculture to gwe testimony concerning their work.
