PARSONS MUST

PRODUCE PROOF

Congressman Will Be CalledUpon to Substantiate Sen-

sational Charges

REGARDING TAMMANY DEAL

(Special from United' Press.)Washington, Oct. 4. Congressman

Herbert Parsons of New York, who isalso chairman of the New Tprk County Republican committee and leader inthe Mayoralty fight now on there, willprobably be called uponi to substan-tiate before ah investigating commit-tee of Congress the sensational chargeswhich he has made regarding an alleged deal between Tammany Hall andthe men in control of the NationalHouse of Representatives.In brief these charges! are to the effect that those Democrats who boltedtheir party, last- - March and assistedSpeaker Cannon and- his lieutenants todefeat the plan to amend the rules.did so because prominent New Yorkup-Sta- te Republicans promised thatthe Legislature at Albany would killa pending bill for ' the perfection of theregistration laws which was bitterlyopposed by Tammany Hall.

This brings up a question of honorand good faith and it is said the meninvolved'-wil- l demand an investigationand insist that Parsons shall producea proof of his charges or publicly re-pudiate them. -

It is also accepted as certain-tha-t thepublication of Parsons' statements willcause a renewal of the fight to changethe rules of the House when Congressreassembles in December. Republicaninsurgents as well as Democrats willtake hold of the Parsons story and askembarrassing questions of those whowere parties to the alleged deal, and itwill stimulate them to make anothereffort to amend the rules so as to reduce the power of the Speaker and thecommittee on Rules.

There were 23 Democrats who wentto the aid of the Republican organiza-tion on the rules question after it hadbeen beaten on two previous votes.Eight of these came from New Yorkas follows: Lindsay, Fitzgerald, Rior--dan, Goldfogle, Fornes, Conroy, Harrison and. Goulden. They were joinedby the following from Georgia: Brant-ley, Edwards, Griggs, Howard. Leeand1 Livingston, and- by the followingfrom other sections: Keliher, Mass.,McDermott, 111., Moon, Tenn..

New York, Oct. 4. With a big crowd-watching their frantic efforts. 40 mentook turns during the night and thismorning, working like mad in thehope that they may rescue alive JohnCoffen, buried at the bottom of aneighty foot well. The chance thatCoffen will survive is the possibilitythat the shoring of the well protectedhim from tons of sand when the earthcollapsed, upon him.

Coffen. who is 22. and his father, hadbeen working in the well at the farmnear Central Islip. L. I. They hadreached a depth of SO feet and yester-day while Coffen was at work in thewell' and his father was drawing upthe earth he loosened the shoring andthe sides gave way. Rescuers begantheir work when faint taippings wereheard on the timbers b "ath thesands, indicating that the young manwas alive.

During the night more sand wasloosened and it is "feared the victimwill not survive. . .

GRAVE FEARSFOR POPE PIUS

(Special from United Press.)Rome. Oct. 4. Grave fears are caus

ed by physical- condition of Pope PiusX despite authoritative statementsthat the ailment which keeps the Pon-tiff in seclusion is not of a serious na-ture. The Pope to-d- ay is receivingonly his secretary and his close ac-quaintances among the "Vatican of-ficials because his physicians insistthat he must have absolute rest.

The fact that the Pope's present illness is not serious jwhich is being usedby the Vatican authorities to dispel a'ldoubt as to his condition, is misleadi-ng'. His age and the general condi-tion of his health make even the mosttrifling indisposition

' serious in hiscase. The frequent attacks of illnessto which the Pope is subject are verylikely at any time to develop into permanent sickness. The Pontiff's presentbreakdown is due to gout and a general rundown condition of the system.

.(Special ?from United Press.) ,

New York, Oct. 4. Cheered bycountless thousands that crowded theBattery and lined both sidea of theHudson and receiving a whistle salutefrom the hundreds of craft in the river, Wilbur Wright to-d- ay flew in hisaeroplane from Governor's Island upthe Hud-so- to 125th street, circled, andreturned to Governor s ilslandkachieving one of his ' greatest aeronautic triumphs.

The distance was about 20 miles andthe flight which began at 9:53 lastedexactly 33 minutes and 35 seconds, ac-cording to W. J. Hammer, the secre-tary of the Areonautical Committee ofthe Hudson-Fulto- n Celebration.

The trip up the river was madealong the New York side whereWright said he found the wind strongand unexpectedly gusty. It was thisfact that prevented him from circlingGrant's Tomb. Instead, he circledabove the river and headed on the re-turn trip along the New Jersey side.The wind on this side of the nverwas much more to his liking andWright thinks his speed on the ;frayback .was easily at the rate of 40 milesan hour.

The height varied from 40 to 400 feet.At the outset Wright flew at a lowheight as the tall buildings along theBattery and in the downtown sectionof the city created strong air currentsand uncertain drafts that ' made itdangerous- to fly' at a great height un-less he went at .too great a height forthe - people to see him to advantage.

'And I wanted the people to get agood view of the machine," he said.

Quitting the downtown section, However, Wright pointed the machine upward and quickly attained a neignt orbetween 300 and 400 feet.

The wind was much stronger at theextreme height than I anticipated and,in addition, was very fitful. Considering the unfavorable winds I thinktheSflight was one of the most success-ful I ever made. - '

'I avoided flying low over tnesteamers and tugs as the blasts fromtheir whistles affected the air and re-tarded the flight. I kept a good lineon ttiv height by watching "the Metropolitan tower. I was never even withthe top of this."
