WHICH DIED FIRST
Question Upon Which Hangs the
Disposition of an
Estate.


Muncie, Ind, May 24.-Upon the
question of whether William Driscoll
died before Rachel Driscoll. his wife,
both being struck 10y the same train
and almost Instantly killed. hinges the
disposal of all the property of the rich
DriscOll estate. as well as the money
that may be received from the Big
Four railroad on account of the deaths.
1t is the sole point upon which the
attorneys in the $4,000 damage suit
now on in the circuit court are argu-
ing.
The railroad attorneys hold that
Rachel DriScoll expired about thirty
seconds before her husband, and are
endeavoring to prove ii. In that case
the entire DriScoll estate was the
property of William Driscoll during the
few brief seconds of his life after his
wife'S death, and his heirs. therefore,
would be entitled 10 the property. 1t
is Mrs Driscoll's heirs that are bring
ing the suit and demanding the prop
erty, claiming that William Driscoll
died n few seconds before his wife
and that all the property belongs to
Mrs. DriscolrS heirs.

WOULD SNUB KAISER
Texan Who Wants No Kings Statue
on United States
Soil.

Washington. May 24.-Stephens of
Texas has introduced a resolution in
the house that is directly aimed at the
tender of n monument of Frederick
the Great to the United States. 1t sets
fOCth that the United States should
not accept from any foreign nation cr'
erect in any public place any statue
of any king, emperor. prince or pOten-
tate who has ruled or is now ruling
any nation by the supposed divine
right of kings.
The resolution further sets forth
that the acceptance of such a statue
by this government would be a repu-
diation of its basic principles as enun-
ciated in the bill of rights and consti-
tuition, an insult to- the memories of
our revolutionary fathers. an admis-
sion that one man may govern a ma
ton without the consent of the gov
erned and after his death have his
statue erected in our republic and the
blessings of the divine right of kings
to rule be thereby approved.

PEELED on the same principle as Il bird.
The practicabilIty of mechanical flight
was demonstrated in May. 1896, by
Professor =. l.. Langley. secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution.
IndorGed by the Telephone Inventor.
On that date he made a Semi-public
exhibition of machine which he had
constructed after years of labor, and
which flew nearly u mile. at a point
on the Potomac river about twenty
miles south of Washington. Professor
Alexander Fell, inventor Of the tele-
phone. was present. and testifies TO the
entire success OF the experiment. The
machine. which weighed about thirty
pounds and was pFoPeffrVf-tJs -tJs--ftS- own
miniature steam engine. flew as long
as the inventor intended. which was
until the supply of air was exhausted.
He limited the flight lest ii should go
beyond his sight and he lost in the
forests OF Virginia. The purpose was
to demonstrate the practicability of
mechanical flight; TO continue it al
most indefinitely was regarded by Pro-
fessor Langley as 4 mere matter Of
