Washington, D. c., Aug.-Although
Americans who started in life as day
laborers have become president of the
great republic, no man who should
cred a musket as a common soldier
has ever attained to the position OF
commander of the army of the United
States until today Major General
Samuel Baldwin Marks Young, who
today succeeds to the command OF
the army on the statutatory retire
ment of Lieutenant General Miles,
began his career as an enlisted man
in the Twelfth Pennsylvania infantry.
All of his twenty-one predecessors as
commander of the army began their
military careers as commissioned Of
ficers. 1t has been stated frequently
that the chief objection to General
Miles on the part of his brother OFF,
GERS was due to the fact that he was
not a West Point man. The same
cause for complaint is to be found

lANGLEY'S AIR SHIP
Waivers and Wobbles and Coming
Down Suddenly Sinks in
the Sea.

Tidewater. Aug. S.-The initial test
of Prof. Langley's airship was made
this morning.
The track on which the launching
car ran pointed toward the Maryland
shore. At a given signal the car was
drawn back 80 feet by powerful
springs and then released propelling
the model into space at a velocity OF
nearly so feet a second After leaving
the track the airship sailed on a level
with the house tops about 100 yards
toward Maryland, when sharp turn
to the right was made. Not over ooo
wards in this direction was made be-
fore the model struck the water and
Immediately sank. For fully so yards
before she finally disappeared the
model pursued an uneven. waverlng
course. -
When this became noticeable to
the watching scientists they immeil-
ately dispatched tug and small boats
to the rescue In order to recover the
car when it sank a fine wire had been
attached to the model and retained
on a house boat BY following this
wire they were enabled to raise the
machine with the aid of hooks. When
brought to the surface the machine
presented a dilapidated appearance.
The wings were torn from the body,
the fine steel framework was badly
bent and the engine was out Of place
and badly indented. The propeller
and steering gear suffered the smallest
injury. The model was hauled aboard
and was not returned to the house
boat Prof. Langley's assistant who
was mainly in charge of the expert
ment was greatly chagrined at the
failure and declined to make any
statement. Langley was not present.

The Humberts on Trial in France for
6uncoing Bankers Out of

Paris, Aug. S.-The trial of the
Humberts, the famous swindlers open
ed today. The court room was crowd
ed with fashionables. Shortly after
noon the prisoners were escorted into
the court room by guards. Madame
Humbert came first, dressed entirely
in black, pale but composed. Her
husband followed; then came Roman
and Emile Dauringa, brothers Of Mrs.
Humbert, jauntily arm in arm. All
gave their place of residence as Con
ciergerie prison.
Madame Humbert maintained her
previous attitude Of bravadO and con-
tinually interrupted the proceedings
with protests. During the examina-
ton she frequently turned and piled
the judge with questions in an angry
tone. She denied all the charges and
assuming a dramatic attitude cried:
I'VE are the most honest people in
France. We are suffering under false
accusations l never slept in the pri-
son but always stood clinging to the

serted that the Crawford millions ex-

spectators greeted each declaration

wishing to enter was so great that

turned away. including the actor Co

be the most dramatic scene Of recent
years.
The railways are treating the Hum
bert trial as a national holiday and
running big excursions at low rates.
Public interest is intense, as Mad

general. General Young is the third
man who has come from civil life, as
distinguished from those who have
gone through the academy, to attain
the command Of the army. The first
after it became possible to appoint a
West Point graduate to achieve that
position was General Winfield Scott
who became commander in 1S41, thlr
ty-nine years after the establishment
of the academy. He entered the army
from civil life as captain Of artillery
Since Scott all the commanders OF
the army except Miles have been West
Pointers.
But the new commanding general is
a soldier from the ground up, without
any fuss or feathers. He is not a
medal of honor man, but one who
quietly and faithfully performed his
duties at all times, and is recognized
as a tireless fighting general who is
ready for duty day or night. He
emerged from the civil war with the
respect Of all his comrades, and per-
formed excellent service during the
Spanish war, later distinguishing

promoted to the grade of major. In
October. 1864, he had reached the
grade of lieutenant colonel, and two
months later was placed in command
of his regiment. April 9, 1860, he was
brevetted brigadier general of volun-
teers for conspicuous gallantry, and
was honorably mustered out OF the
service July l. 1865.
A year later he was appointed in
the regular establishment, with the
rank of second lieutenant of the
Twelfth regular infantry. July 2S the
same year he transferred to the cav
airy arm of the service with the rank
of captain and was assigned to the
Eighth regiment. He was not pro-

when he was commissioned as major.
He held this rank until August 16,
1882, when he was promoted to lieu

to the Fourth cavalry. In 1897 he was
given another promotion, this time
to the colonelcy of his regiment.

Gen. Miles Retirement.
Washington, Aug. S.-Without a
word OF official commendation from
the government which he served SO
galalntly Miles at noon walked out of
his office in the war department for
the last time. With dignity and
silence he received a brief and cOldly
formal order retiring him from the
service. an order in marked contrast
with the laudatory one whereby his
predecessor Schofeld was retired
from active duty. No episode con-
nected with Miles private life has oc-
casioned so much comment in Wash
ington as the studied omission of any
reference to his distinguished services.
The administration sympathiZers
could expect nothing else in view of
the antagOnism since the Spanish war.
Miles friends, however, regard his
treatment as harsh. The Army and
Navy Register, which usually reflects
the sentiment of the army this morn
ing after a lengthy review says that
Miles had a record before he came to
Washington which entitled him to
more than this fling of silence. 1t was
the last official act in a bitter fight and
accomplishes nothing except to ex-
cite remark II would like to believe
something generous of the department
at this time. Inasmuch as Miles after
his retirement is just as amenable to
military discipline as before it is
hardly probable he Will say anything.
