DOGS AS WITNESSES.
chrnska's Supreme Court Declares
BIoodhounds' Evidence Good
Despite Lack of Oath.

Lincoln, Neb.. Oct. 9.-The compe-
tency of bloodhounds as witnesses in
criminal prosecutions has been decid-
ed by the supreme court of Nebraska.
The case was that of George w. Bratt.
convicted of burglary and sentenced to
the penitentiary for three years. Bratt
alleged he was convicted mainly as a
result of the bloodhounds trailing him
from the place the burglary was com
mitted to his own home, where a stolen
purse was found. In his brief filed
Thursday in behalf of the state Attor-
ney General Prout admits that the
dogs are incompetent to take the oath
and are not subject to cross examina-
ton, but otherwise he maintains they
are fit silent witnesses, and as such
their testimony is as conclusive as that
of a man.

HOld-Up at Aurora, IIl.-One
RObber Killed.

Aurora, ILL.,, Oct. 9.-One robber was
shot and killed and one other was
wounded at $50 o'clock Thursday
night, shortly after they held up a
Riverview Park street car just outside
the southwest city limits. Three
masked men signaled the north-bound
Riverview Park car, in charge of Mo-
torman Plum and Conductor Whitney,

low the Sard stove works. AS soon as
they were aboard they covered the
crew with their guns, ordering them to
hold up their hands. They then
searched the conductor and motor
man. Whitney had only 81 in his
pocket, while Plum did not have any
valuables.
The police were notified and officers
Gibson and Grass were detailed on the
case. They learned that the robbers
boarded the Chicago electric car for
the city at 1915 o'clock, and went
after them on a car following. At the
substation on Union avenue the Off
GERS saw their men, who started to run.
A fusillade of shots resulted, ending in
one robber being killed and another
wounded. The robbers were we'll
armed and put up a spirited battle.
The dead robber was about 40 years of
age, we'll dressed and wore a brown

HAD FIERCE STRUGGLE.
White House Officers Have an En-
counter with u Lunutic Who
Tries to See the President.

Washington, Oct. Ga desperate
hand-to-hand encounter with an armed
insane man who was determined to sec
President Roosevelt occurred in the Ves-
thule of the white house shortly be-
fore noon yesterday.
The man, who gave his name as Peter
Elliott, and his home as Minneapolis,
was overpowered by the officers or duty
at the white house and carried to a pO-
lice an which had been summoned. He
was placed in the van in the custody of
two officers.
Seeming TO realize then for the first
time that he was unde arrest Elliott
began the furious struggle with his cap
tors. He drew a revolver from the right
side pocket of his trousers and attempt
ed to shoot Officer James Cissel. The
officer grabbed his hand and wrenched
the weapon from his grasp. Thomas
Stone, chief usher, and Officer Parker,
of the white house force, who had as
sisted in carrying Elliott to the van, at
tracted by the shots, rushed back to the
vehicle and assisted in overpowering
him.
In the struggle within the police van
Elliott had broken q glass panel with
his head, severely cutting his head and
face. Officer Cissel sustained a cut on
the right arm, two inches of flesh being
cut out of the f1eshy part of the arm.
The van was hurried to the Emergency
hospital, where the injuries of both Cis-
sci and Elliott were dressed, and the lat
ter was taken to an insane asylum.
Washington, Oct. THE cabinet
meeting yesterday was chiefly devoted
to a serious discussion as to the means
to be adopted to protect the president
and the chief officers of the government
from the attacks Of lunatics like the
man Elliott and from the more danger
Gus plots of half-crazed reformers and
fanatics. There is a strong sentiment
in favor of the enactment this winter
Of the law proposed last year providing
special and severe penalties for attacks
on government officers.

LANGLEY AIRSHIP
A TOTAL failure
Big Machine Sails Only One Hun

The Craft Was BADLY Wrecked nnd
There Was No S~emblance of Flight

Langley Was Not Present.

Whitewater, Va, Oct. 9.-The 60-foot
steel-built flying machine, the climax of
years of exhaustive study in the efforts Of
Prof. Samuel P. Langley, secretary Of the
Smithsonian institution, to solve the
problem of mechanical flight in midair,
was launched yesterday afternoon, and
the experiment, carefully planned and
delayed for months, proved a complete
failure. The immense airship sped rap
idly along it's 70-foot track, was carried
by it's own momentum for 100 yards,
and then fell gradually into the Potomac
river, whence it emerged atOtal wreck.
Escaped with a X
Prof. Charles M. Marley, who has been
Prof. Langley's chief assistant in the
work preliminary to the attempted flight,
made the ascent in the aerodrome, and
escaped with a ducking. At no time was
there any semblance of flight, the initial
momentum, the lightness of the machine,
and the sustaining surface of the wings
furnishing the conditions which account
for the 100-yard transit of the airbird
| from it's 6O-foot elevation to the water.
Failure Was Apparent.
Secretary Langley, who has v~isitedth
scene of the test infrequently since the
houseboat carrying his device and his
| assistants vas taken to Whitewater, did
not witness the failure of his machine,
but was informed of the result at Wash
ingtOn.
The big machine moved easily along
| the 7O-foot track in the launching ap-
paratus and took the air fairly well. A
five-mile breeze was blowing and for d
moment the machine stood up we'll, but
it's failure was Immediately apparent.
1t turned gradually downward. The
~declinatiOn was so positive that Prof
Manley say at a glance that but few
movements of the second hand of the
| stop watch he wore on his left knee would
be recorded before both he and the sci
entific ship would be ~foundering in the
waters Of the Potomac. Just before the
machine struck the water he shut off his,
| motor, which had worked admirably at,
\ the outset. The machine disappeared
beneath the waves, but only momentar-
lily.
