LANGLEY IN TROUBLE
Said to Have Squandered Govern
ment Funds on His Much Rid
iculed Air Ship.
New York Sun Special Service,

new xork BUN special Service.
Washington, Oct. 1.-Members Of con-
gress who have dropped into Washington
from time to time are considera Div
wrought up over Professor Langley's al
legged flying machine and the ridicule it has
provoked among scientific men by It's re-
peated failures. 1t Is said the Professor
Langley's aerodrome has become source
or amusement and has put the United
States government In humiliating posi-
ton among European scientists.
There is some talk Of a congressional
investigation to determine to what extent
the scientific staff of the Smithsonian in
stltut1on has been employed on this pri-
Vate enterprise and how far the public
FUNDS have been used on the flying ma
chine.
1t Is an open secret that most of the
staff at the Smithsonian has made fun
of the aerodrome, from the start, and
there are charges afloat that for years
Professor Langley has constantly neg
lected the legitimate work of the institu-
tlon ano devoted time, money and ma
terial to the flying machine which has
never had the approval of governmental
scientists. and which, 1t Is said, possesses
no novel features al ALL
The gossip about the infatuat ton of
Professor Langley for visionary flying
machines has reached such a pass that in
all probability the final failure of the
machine will be followed by some sort
or an investigation. and the result may
possibly be the election Of a successor
10 Professor Langley as secretary of the
Smithsonian institution

He ANNOUNCES
HIS CANDIDACY
President Buchanan of the Iron
Workers Decides to Stand for
Reelection

Kansas City, Oct. 1.-Frank Buchanan
of Chicago to-day formally announced his
candidacy for reelection as president Of
the International Association Of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers. He had
withheld his announcement until the con-
venton should act upon his annual re-
port. He considers that he was emphat-
ically Endorsed by the convention yester-
day and processes to believe that he will
be reelected. A Buchanan partiZan said
to-day: Mr.. Buchanan would not have
announced his candidacy unless he had
strong belief that he would VIM"
President Buchanan said: 1.-THE state
ment that Sam Parks has dominated this
convention is ridiculous. The convention
has emphatically Endorsed me by adopt
ing majority of the recommendations
in my report, including affliation with
the American Fedora ton Of Labor. The
public may distort such action as being
favorable to Parks, but the fact Is that
Parks is simply falling into line. AS soon
as he saw the way the convention was
indorsing my recommendations, he made
haste to get into the band wagon" s..s-..
The Parks crowd assert as positively
as ever that their candidate, H. F. Don
nelly of Albany, will be elected. The cleo
ton will take place tomorrow, and In
the fight to name the head Of the organ
ization will lay the real struggle Of the
convention between the Parks and anti
Parks elements

OELRICHS .SWORE
Didn't Want to Advertise the Labor
Mayoralty Candidate.

New York Sun Special Service
San Francisco, Oct. Herman Oelrichs,
the New York millionaire, who Is now
supervising the construction of the big
Fairmount hotel on the summit Of Mob
hill, had a disagreeable shock yesterday.
Two days ago some one painted on a
remnant Of an old wall on California
streets that surrounds the lower part of
the lot, in red letters two feet tall, For
mayor, Eugene E. Schmitz." Every one
who Travelled on the California street cable
cars wondered how Oelrichs came to per-
nit this political sign Of the present labor
union party mayor, who represents every
thing that capitalists detest. .s-
This morning Mr.. Oelrichs returned
from the country and got his first sight
of the sign. His naturally ruddy complex
ion became deep purple and his friends
thought he would have an apopletic fit.
Then he broke loose and swore like an
army mule driver.
In half an hour the sign was painted
out and peace once more >reigns on Mob
hill.

BATTLE WITH RATILERs
Surprised Nebraska Farmer Killed
Over Forty, but Will Lose
His Leg.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The journal.
York, Neb., Oct IA singular battle
between a man and forty eight rattle
snakes took place near McCook, Neb., a
few days ago. All but a. few of the rep
tiles were killed. The man was so severe
ly bitten that the loss of a leg is certain.
! G. E. Seeger was crossing his farm,
driving an unhitched team Of horses,
which unexpectedly took fright and
plunged to one side. Seeger then saw
coiled on the ground dozens Of rattlers.
A few were full grown and the rest were
small.
Thinking the snakes stupifed by cold,
he set out to kill them. Instead of en-
deavoring to escape, as rattlers usually
do, these snakes assumed the offensive.
The reason was soon apparent. There was
nest containing dozens Of eggs which
the parents were protecting,
Seeger observed a peculiar occurrence
durlngsthe progress OF the battle When
hard pressed one of the big snakes tight
ened its coils about the eggs and broke
them. Out Of the shells wriggled tiny
rattlers as full Of fight as the old ones.
Seeger was bitten below the knee by a
half sized snake after he killed forty two.
The snake lay coiled in the grass and did
not give the alarm before striking. See
gers knee is swollen to the size Of a
small key.

Tacoma, 1 Wash, Oct. Lone Of the
greatest irrigation systems planned in the
arid regions of washington will be started
this fall. The idea is to reclaim about
$4,000 acres in what is known as the sage
brush region in Yakima and Franklin
counties. .-.1s- s..a
In irrigating this land a novel idea is
to be carried out. The water is to be
taken from the Yakima river, and it will
be necessary to bring 1t across the Colunl-
bia river at point where it runs between
high bluffs. To accomplish this, a pipe
line four miles in length will be employed,
dropping into the Columbia river as, the
bank is reached, lying submerged in the
water and rising on the other side to a
ditch that will convey the water over
So, 900 acres of southern Franklin county
land.
When this land Is irrigated it will read
lily sell for $50 an acre, and the promoters
Of the scheme will reap a good percentage
