JURY IN BOYCOTT
CASE DISAGREES
Suit for $4,000 Will Have to be
Tried Again at
Chicago.i

Chicago, Oct. S.-After spending
eight hours in attempting to arrive at
a verdict jury in the $4,000 damage
suit brought by Justin Wyman against
the Chicago Master Plumbers assOcia-
ton, the Raymond Lead company and
the l.. Wolff Manufacturing company,
failed to agree and was discharged by
Judge Walker.
The case had attraete considerable
attentionand the outcome was watched
with interest. Wyman was formerly a
member of the Chicago Master Plumb
ers' association and was fined 500 by
that body in 1897 for agreeing to pay
journeymen plumbers $3.T5. He was
also suspended from the organization
and notified that he would not be re-
instated until he paid his fine. He de-
clared it was unjust and refused to pay
1t. From that time on, according to
his story. he was the victim of con-
spiracy that drove him out of busi-
ness.

Minister Leishman Still Negotiating
Over the Beirut
Affair.

Washington, Oct. S.-Dispatches re-
ceived by the state department from
Minister Leisman indicate that he is
still endeavoring to reach a settlement
with the Turkish government concern
ing matters in which the United States
is interested, but that SO far no salts
factory arrangement has been made.
Turkey wants the United States ships
withdrawn from Beirut, but no orders
have been issued to that effect and the
state department is not yet ready to
ask the navy department that they be
ordered elsewhere.
As matters now stand it is expected
that one vessel of the European squad
ron will go with Consul General Skin
ner on his way to Abyssinia. 1t is the
policy of the navy department not to
divide a squadron unless necessary,
and twas thought that all ships would
go on this expedition, but unless some
change occurs in the situation i'll Tur-
key the ships at Beirut will remain and
only the Machias will be sent with
Skinner.

Fight With Mad Bull.

Owosso. Mich, Oct S.-Supervisor
G. II. Chavey, of Venice township was
attacked by his Durham bull and was
badly done up. The bull had never be-
Rsre heen vicious. but it plunged after
Chavey when he let it into the barn
yard. ChaVey had turned his back and
was about to shut the door when he
heard the animal snort. Before he had
time to dodge inside the barn the bull
tossed him in the air.
Chavey fell unhurt and made a dash
for the barn door. but the wind had
blown it shut and he could not get in.
Selling whiffletree. he stood his
ground, when the bull made a second
rush, and struck it a terrific blow
across the eyes. This stopped the bull
for a few moments. Then he made an
effort to reach the fence. but the bull
overlook him and tossed him in the
air again. He was too far gone now
TO either defend or save himself and
before help arrived the bull had gored
him terribly. The doctors in attend
ance say that his chances for discoy-
cry are very meager.

NEW Departure
BY GRAND JURY
Gives Notice That All Persons With
Grievances Will Be
Heard.

Kokomo. Ind, Oct. S.-The grand
jury, which will be in session here
for several days, is to proceed on the
brOadest lines. Any one having a griev
ance of any character that has dignity
or merit to it, will be heard. KOko-
MOS municipal conditions of late
months have been somewhat out of
the usual tenor. There has been a
tendency to criticise conditions and to
blame local authorities for their exist
ence. The critics will be put to the
test and summoned to tell of viola
tiOns of law of which they claim to
have knowledge, that convictions may
be had.
Many are ION the anxious seat as
the result of the calling of the jury,
as there is no telling how much trou-
ble it may create. 1t has not been
asked TO conduct Investigations save
at rare intervals. and its conduct is a
matter of no ones certain knowledge.
Prosecutor Cooper says he intends to
Sift affairs to the bottom, and if any
one is in the wrong, high or low, the
offenders will be prosecuted.

Professor Goes Down and Comes Up with
the Machine.
Professor Manley started the motor,
which worked well, the revolutions
reaching 1,20O minute. The big ma
chine moved easily along the seventy
foot track in the launching apparatus,
and took the air fairly well. \ five
mile breeze was blowing, and for a
moment the machine stood up well,
but its failure was Immediately ap-
parent. 1t turned gradually down
ward. The declination was so posi-
tive that Professor Manley saw at a
glance that but few movements of the
second hand of the stop watch he
wore on his left knee would be record
ed before both he and the scientific
ship would be fiOundering in the wat
ers 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 mOmentarily. The
five cOnical-shaped floats which had
been distributed about the machine to
avert its sinking performed their fuEc-
tions well, and the bridges of the ma
chine almost Immediately reappeared
above the water. 1t was n moment of
anxiety for the safety of the naviga-
tor, but fears were instantly relieved
as his head emerged above the sur
face.
He had sustained no injury. His
face reflected his disappointment at
the result. He climbed into a row.
boat which had been kept close at
hand, and was conveyed to the deck
of the tug Bartholdi. There he eX-
changed his dripping clothes for dry
garments. An hour later Professor
Manley gave out the following state
ment to the newspapers:
''It must be understood that the test
today was entirely an experiment, and
the first of its kind ever made. The
experiment was unsuccessful. The
balancing upon which depends the sue
cess of the flight was based upon the
tests of the models, and proved to he
incorrect. but only an actual trial of
the full-sized machine itself could de-
termine this. My confidence in future
success of the work is unchanged. l

tary Langley" The machine is a total

climax of years of exhaustive study

Institute, to solve the problem of me-
chanical flight in midair, has been

ship sped rapidly along its seventy
foot track, was carried by its own
momentum for 100 yards, and then fell
gradually into the Potomac river,
whence it emerged total wreck.
Never Any SembIance1 of Flight
At no time was there any semblance
of flight, the initial momentum, the
lightness of the machine. and the sus-
tanning surface of the wings furnish
ing the conditions which account for
the 100-yard transit of theair-bird from
it's siXty-foOt elevation to the water.
An official statement made after the
test admitted that the experiment was
unsuccessful, but asserted confidence
in the ultimate success of the inven-
ton The launching took place at
1915 p. m. from the superstructure of
the house boat mOored in the Potomac
river two. miles from this place. Fif-
teen minutes before that everything
was cleared for action. Professor
Manley was clad in his aeronautical
suit of white duck trousers and cork
lined jacket.
Langley D:d Not See the Failure.
Secretary Langley did not witness
the failure of his machine, but re-
manned in Washington. where he
awaited the result When all was
ready Professor Manley took his place
in the navigtor's car which was sit
uated close to the gasoline motor. This
motor was well below the principal
surface of the machine 1t was of the
explosion type, weighed 200 pounds
and was designed to generate approXi-
mately twenty-seven horsepower.
