WATSON'S RED DEVIL
NETS $I.578 ON BLOCK
Sacrificed at Auction to Satisfy
Claim of District.

To help pay his debts to the District
government, Watson's red devil was
sold at auction TO Cook & o. Wesney for
S1.57S this morning. The original cost
of the devil which is a fine one and
in good repair, was 81. 700. 1t is thought.
however, that the price received for the
machine was all that could be expected.
A crowd OF several hundred ATTENDED
the sale at 10 o'clock in Pennsylvania
Avenue outside the office of James Rat-
cliffe, the auctioneer. One thousand dol
lars was the first bid. The bidding
then jumped By hundreds to 81, 800. At
81. $50 il stuck, and was advanced in
driblets to s1.57s.
The sale was carried on in spite OF
the claim put in by Mrs. Watson for a
81, 900 equity in the machine. The pro-
ceeds OF the sale will be held pending
the proving of Mrs. Watson's claim.
A number of WHtson's personal be-
longings were alsb sold this morning,
including a desk. boxing gloves, and
foils. and a small safe. All brought
comparatively good prices.
The District Commissioners would
find it a moneymaking scheme to keep
some one to buy goods with stolen
money in order to sell them afterward.
WatsOn's Cecilian. which was also TO
be sold this morning. was withdrawn on
a claim made by Z. F. Droop & Sons.

ALTHOUGH MAGEI SSE,N
HAS NOT BEEN KILLED
NO PA Y FOR MILLER
WHILE SUSPENDED
Comptroller TacezueH Decides He Is Not Entitled as He
Performed No Work.

No salary will be paid to W. A.
Miller. reinstated as foreman in the
Government Printing Office. for the time
he was absent while under suspension
and subsequent dismissal. His claim
for the sixty three days regular pay,
amounting in the aggregate to s403. 20.
Is disallowed in a decision returned TO-
day by Comptroller Tracewell of the
Trasury
The opinion OF the Comptroller is
based mainly on the fact that Miller
performed no labor for the Government
in the time between his discharge and
re-employment. In addition to this, the
Comptroller maintains that the appoint
ing power. If authorized to remove an
employe. absolutely has the right to re
move him for a limited time OF sas-
pend.
The decision is, in part, as follows:
Mr.. Miller. under your statement OF
facts and under the law authorizing
his employment. was not an officer OF
the Government in any sense, either
constitutional or statutory, but merely
an employe thereof. who. in order to be
paid the daily wages agreed upon, must,
as prerequisite of such payment, per-
form the service for which payment is
proposed TO be made.
"A different rule obtains as to an Of
feer of the Government. who usually
is entitled to the compensation fixed by
law or regulation of his office. regard
less of the performance OF the duties
thereof.
There are certain exceptions even 20
this rule. such as clerks in the executive
departments who are required to per-
form certain hours of labor; but it has
been held by the courts, as to this latter
class OF officers. that II they are wrong
fully prevented from the performance of
their duties and are really and willing tc
perform them, they may recover in such
cases their salaries.
'As to this latter class, however. 1t has
been uniformly held by the courts that
the person having the power to appoint
has the power of removal. and that the
question of the right or wrong OF such
inquire
IF the courts are precluded from max
ing such inquiry, do not see how or
any other executive officer can go into
such question.
II have no doubt as to the fact that
you are not authorized to pay Mr. Miller

Emile Berliner Constructs
Aeroplane Which Flies
When Put TO Actual Test
Without Extra Starting Ap-
paratus His Machine Sus-
tafns Itself in Air Until
Poyer is Exhausted, When
II Descends Without In
jaD Design Based on
Theory of Bird Flight.

Emile Berliner, the well-known
scientist and inventor, has constructed
and put to successful test a flying ma
chine built on the principle of the aero
plane.
Without any extra starting device of
any sort and with no power not gencr-
ated by the machine itself the Berliner
aeroplane has lifted itself and in steady
flight, until its power was exhausted,
maintained itself at a height of not
more than eight feet from the ground.
Mr.. Berliner's experiments have so
far been conducted with a small ma
chine. Its performances have been suf-
fcient, however, to warrant the as
sumption that its development will en-
able men to fly through the air with the
help of two wings, each five by twelve
feet in size, and a small propeller, foot
or machine driven.
Mr.. Berliner is already distinguished
as the inventor of the telephone trans
mitter and the Gramaphone or Victor
talking machine.
