about nine inches in width. The cen
tral portion of the backbone OF the
airship and the principal feature o.
the invention consists of a cigar
shaped cylinder. made of brass. appar-
emily. and sharp pointed at both ends
10 this cylinder various parts OF the
motor are fastened
Prof. Langley's reluctance to dis
close anything concerning his inven-
tion. and the precautions taken to
keep it from prying eyes preclude any
thing like a detailed description. The
airship accepted for the final test was
built at a cost of more than $4,000.
of which $4,000 was appropriated by
Congress. Prof. Langley is said to
have spent more than 100000 of his
own means on the invention.
The greatest difficulty in the way of
success has been removed by the util-
ization of gasoline motor light
enough for the purpose. This motor
is Of the explosive variety and of %
horse power. Elimination of weight
to SO large an extent has convinced
Prof. Langley that he has solved the
problem of devising a motor sufficient
ly light to be borne easily through the
air on the frail structure of the aero
plane proper. Work on this motor
has monopoized Prof. Langleys spare
hours continuously since 1896. when
his first machine. a small model. was
tested.

successor. With an evident feeling
of sadness, the pontiff spoke of all the
sacred objects he had gathered.

prince boarded the American flagship.
On the prince expressing desire to
inspect the ship Captain Hemphill es-
corted him along the gun deck of the
superstructure and also below The
prince apparently had already some
knowledge OF the kearsarge, as he was
familiar with her characteristics and
made remark about her especially
excellent ventilation and her good con-

The prince asked numerous ques
tionS regarding the superlmpoSed tur-
rets, particularly inquiring how rapid
ly the guns could be loaded. Midship-
man Belknap, in charge OF the forward
turret, ordered round of ammunition
to the thirteeenth-inch gun. Operation
was rapidly performed. to the appar-
ent qualification of his highness.
The departure of the prince was
marked by the same ceremony as on
his arrival AS the prince crossed the
gangwayf .eut. William V. Pratt OF the
kearsarge shouted Three cheers for
hisrcyal highness, the Prince OF wales.
The same cry arose simultaneously
on the other American ships and the

GAMBLING MUST STOP.
MAYOR SMITH ISSUES FINAL" UKASE TO THE
FRATERNITY IN CANTON. POLICE WILL
ENFORCE ORDER TO THE LETTER.

CONSERVATION has seized the gam
blers of Canton. Couched in terms
which admit of no dispute the edict
has gone forth from Mayor William
II. Smith and Chief of Police Fred s.
McCloud that on and after today, every
gambling house in the city must cease
to exist. The notice was read to all
the gamblers in "Whiskey alley" Tues
day evening by Lieutenant Wielandt.
1t is final one and no attempt to
violate 1t will be tolerated by the ad-
ministration.
Scarcely had the order been heard
by the gambling fraternity than the
news spread like wildfire. In a short
time many of the patrons of the re-
sorts were notified. All were indig-
nant. but their wrath will avail them
little.
When seen by Morning News rep
resentative, Chief of Police McCloud
said: Eyes, 1t Is true that we have
placed ban on gambling of every kind
and have issued formal order to all
gamblers to close up their places. The
notice was issued by the mayor and
myself as the result of flood of COM
plants which has been deluged this

In the "alley" the fraternity is pre-.

CHURCH SPLIT


Findlay, o., Nov. 17-Because he
likes to hunt and fish certain members
of the congregation of Rev. DR.. Huber
of this city, criticised him. Upon learn
ing this Rev. Huber, who is one Of the
most eloquent ministers in this section,
rendered his resignation. Dissatisfied
ones claim that he had devoted time to
outdoor sports he should have given
to visiting.
The majority of the congregation is
with him and say if he leaves they
will also leave. Opponents are of the
same mind, and If he stays they go. A
split is impossible to avoid and the
Trinity Lutheran church will probably
have but a handful of members when
Rev. Huber leaves.

ply their trade in other places
Always wide open city, the knights
of the green cloth have heretofore
been uninterrupted in their work The
announcement that the time has come
for a cessation in the trade was like
bolt from the blue. With the click
of the roulette wheel silenced and the
roll of the bones on the carpeted dice
table heard no more the ALLEY Will
present a strange appearance.
AS the holidays approach the card
trade is always brisk and the admins
tration has put it's foot down at most
inopportune time for the gamesters. To
add to their hard luck, a smooth travel
ing man from Buffalo who operated in
the various gambling rooms during the
past week,
CLEANED UP $1,700
before he left. Of this $500 was made
on the roulette wheel in one of the
Joints" and as a result the wheel has
not revolved since Saturday night.
More indignant than the operators
themselves are the lovers of the all
night sittings and the revolving wheel
whose sport has been terminated. When
they find the doors of the various places
closed tonight there will probably be a
big howl. There are hints of fortified
rooms and secret retreats, but woe to
those found by the police in any of
these places. If such rooms are conduc.
ed it will probably be by new faces in
! the gambling gallery, for the old hands
have said that they will no more
shuttle the cards in Canton. In all
about 10 rooms will be shut up today
Blame for the edict is placed by the
victims on the kick and growls of those
who have lost money at the tables and
then sought to recover 1t through the
police. This city has proved an ex-
cellent field for the gamblers. Every
night the numerous rooms in the city
have been crowded with those who
sought to win fortune by the turn ol
the card.
