AN HlLE WE HAVE no DESIRE TO
discourage Professor Langley. the
airship man, 10 does seem that il is
time for him 10 step aside and give
some other inventor a chance at the
Smithsonian institute money. Each
attempt to fly the Langley airship re-
suits more disastrously than the pre-
ceding attempt. The last attempt was
the most disastrous Of an. A machine
that cost thousands Of dollars was
hopelessly wrecl1ed-and it didn't fly a
foot
Professor Langley gives no satisfac-
tory explanation Of the failure. He
merely says that something was wrong
with the launching apparatus. Hereto
fore the launching apparatus has
worked perfectly. 1T was the machine
that was at fault. The inventor sim
ply had to fan back on the launching
apparatus theory. And yet the dis
patches say that every condition was
favorable to a successful flight. If
there had been any merit in the Lang
icy device it should have scared beau
tifully
But it didn't In spite Of ideal wea-
ther conditions, in spite of careful
tests made before the actual trial, the
airship broke in two and came near
drowning Professor Langley's assistant
before it had gone a foot in the air.
The disappointment experienced by
Professor Langley is naturally very
keen. and he viii be the recipient Of
much sympathy. Nevertheless, we sub
init that his theories have been shown
to be erroneous. He has not progressed
a step toward solving the problem OF
aerial navigation.
Tt is only fair now for Professor
Langley TO desist for few months. at
any rate. from spending money I'm the
prosecution of plans that seem fore
doomed to failure. other American in
ventors, equally as deserving as Pro-
fessor Langley. more so, indeed. for
they have made far greater advances
than has ne, are entitled to considera-
tion. If the Smithsonian institute man
viii place at the disposal of one or
more of these men the practically un-
limited funds at his disposal, he viii
accomplish a far greater service to his
country thar by proceeding further
along his OWE impracticable lines.

RAvAeEs OF ooNsUMpTIow.

THE USE OF THE FINsEN rays in
1 the treatment Of consumption has
opened wide a discussion Of the preva-
lence Of the disease and the extent OF
its annual harvest. 1T viii not do 60
build too strongly just yet on the Fin
sen ray theory. Even its promoters do
not speak very enthusiastically about
it. They speak Of alleged cures, but
they do not cite any large number Of
such cures, nor DO they. even seem GER
tain that any absolute cures have been
effected.
In an article IN The Outlook of last
week Irving Fisher, secretary Of the
New Haven County (ConnectcuD Anti
tuberculosis association, writes inter
estingly Of the ravages Of consumption.
He says that no other disease except
pneumonia has a death rate that APP
proaches #. AS a result Of careful in.
Vestigations Mr.. Fisher declares that
the mortality from consumption. equals
that from peritonitis, appendicitis,
typhoid fever, scarlet fever. diphtheria,
la grippe, cancer and smallpox COM
bined
Later in the same article he quotes
the astonishing statement made some
time since by Professor NageIi that
practically every adult has latent tu-
berculosis." Mr.. Fisher proceeds TO ex-
plain. He says Professor NageITs
statement means that each OF MS has
encysted in his lungs a certain number
Of bacilli which might cause the dis
ease, but which usually give no trouble
because kept under control by good
health or by the frmness of the growth
in which they are encaeed. Mr.. Fisher
calls attention to the dissipation of the
old theory that consumption is "a type
OF hereditary disease and that only
specified classes Of persons can have it.
In proof of this he cites the case Of a
strong, healthy man, who contracted
consumption through sleeping in a tent
with consumptive who expectorated
his Infection upon the floor AS a mat
ter Of fact Mr.. Fisher concludes, any
kind Of physique may be attacked, mar
row-chested persons being by no means
the only kind who readily succumb to
the disease. It is a recognized. fact
however. that there is only one way OF
communicating tuberculosis.
This is by the sputum, and the spu-
tum, when moist is comparatively
harmless. When it dries and blows
about at the viii Of the winds it be
comes dangerous in a very high degree
This is what should be most guarded
against, and it is what modern, scien-
/ lists are guarding against by anti-ex-
pectoration ordinances and in Other
ways.

had already served and raised the fine to S250. The grand jury had in the meantime taken up the matter and Ca sev and his friends were ready to pay the fine. The justice made an order for his release according to the terms of the new sentence but the sheriff refused to recognize it on the ground that he had not yet heard that the justices of the peace of Arizona, while they have a great deal of inherent Jurisdiction, ' have the power of pardon or commuta- tion of sentences.
 A writ of habeas corpus was sworn out and was heard by Judge Davis, who happened to be at Yuma. He dismissed the writ and then executive clemcncy was sought. There seemed to be no doubt among the friends of Casey that the acting governor would act favora- bly, upon the application for the fine cf $250 was paid yesterday and arrange ments were made for the traEscorta- tion of Casey out of the country.

A PARDONING COURT
The Case of Alexander Casey, Who
 Shot Up His Hotel.

Acting Governor Stoddard yesterday denied an application for d pardon for Alexander Casey, who is confined in the iail of Pima county. The application has been before the acting governor for the last week.
 Casey was the proprietor of the Will lard hotel at Tucson. About six weeks ago he got drunk one night and ran amuck. He discharged his revolver at 2 guest of the hotel and at other per sons and was finally captured and lodg- ed in jail and a warrant for assault with deadly weapon was sworn out against him. The offense was finally reduced and he was allowed to plead guilty to d misdemeanor and was sen teuCed to the county jail for six months and to pay a fine of $50. Within night or two after the arrest of Casey his wife in a fit of despOndency committed suicide by taking poison.
 When Casey had served thirty-three days a movement was begun for his release. The justice of the peace thought that would be easy. He made a change of the sentence reducing the time of the sentence to the time Casey

Secretary Parker, of the Salt River Valley Water Users association, yester- day received from President Fowler, a copy of the TontO road, enabling act as it passed the house, and it is here with reproduced. The bill as passed differs from the original bill heretofore published, only in that the four long paragraphs embracing the Whereas, % are eliminated and one sentence in the last section is also cut out. That sen tence provided for the selling of the bonds under the direction of the munic- ipality issuing them and upon the re- Guisition of the director of the United States geological survey" The words in quotation are the ones eliminated so that the bill is really improved by dis pensing with that much of the red tape previously thought necessary.
