FALLS 500 FEET WITH AIRSHjP
Youth in Test Flight Tumbles Into
Hudson River at New York.

New York, Oct 24.-Clinging like a
spider to a web of wire 500 feet above
the surface of the Hudson river, with
no other support than spanking
breeze and stout rope from a tug
boat, boy from Texas, with red hair.
freckles and grit, took his life in his
hands this afternoon in an effort to
prove that Israel Ludlow's aeroplane
is the best thing yet devised in flying
machines.
More than a thousand persons gath
cred at the western end of Seventy
ninth street. from which the ascension
was made. and watched the daring
flight.
Five minutes later an intrusive fer
ryboat got into the way of the tug
that was conveying the aeroplane,
causing it to change its course so that
the flyer lost the wind and dropped to
the stream about halfway across, and
there the aeronaut. wet only to his
knees, was picked up by launch.
This was not considered misad-
venture by those interested in the en-
terprise. and Mr.. Ludlow. who was
aboard the tug. was satisfied that the
practicability Of his invention had
been thoroughly demonstrated. He
a6dod that all If rauuirad RI make if
the best of airships was motive power.
Charles X Hamilton, who is expe-
rienced in aerial navigation. was the
youth who sailed the airShip.

To-day was a gala day in the his
tory of the industrial school of which
Booker T. Washington has made ia
nous. being memorable by the visit
of President Roosevelt, Mrs. Roose-
velt and the guests comprising the
presidential party. The president ar
rived here this morning over the
Western Alabama route from Mont
gomery and was received by the cit
liens committee. His time was divid-
ed between Tuskegee and the Booker
Washington school. The great feature
of the presidential visit for the school
was Mr.. Roosevelt's address. An in
teresting feature of the visit of the
president was a series of floats, sew
enty-five in number, which passed in
review before him, illustrating the
academic, mechanical and agricultural
departments of the school and the de-
velopment of the negro Nearly fif
teen hundred students preceded the
floats, each bearing a stalk of sugar
cane tipped with a cotton boll both
raised in the experimental station gar
dens of the institution.
After the exercises the party left
here for Birmingham, by way of

Charles Smith. colored man,
makes SOME sensational charges
against the superintendent of the
county convict farm, so it is said.
Smith was arrested for disturbing the
peace in the latter part of July, and
on a plea of guilty was sent to the
county convict farm. When sent to
the farm. he is said to have been
hale hearty and robust negro Re
Gently when released from the farm,
he is said to have been a physical
wreck. Monday afternoon Attorneys
T. Hayis Nixon and w. e. Tucker
presented the man to County Judge E.
J. KerWin with the hequest that he
be sent to the county poorhduse for
medical tratment; and after explain
ing the details of the matter to the
county judge the latter issued the nee
essary order committing the negro
to the care of the superintendent of
the poorhouse for treatment.
Smith alleges that he received
cruel and even inhuman treatment at
the hands of the guards under the
superintendent of the county convict
farm, and it is also said that AttOr
neys Nixon and Tucker will file civil
suit for damages for the negro. The
matter will in all likelihood be inves-
tigated.

SACRED EMBLEM BEsMIRcHED
Who Authorized Gov. Davis to Use
U. c. v. Letterhead?

Governor Davis is using the letter
head of the historical committee U.
c. v for political purposes. Most Con-
federates know this letter head is
very attractive. 1t is used ON an en-
velope over the Confederate flag,
crossed with the flag of the Union, and
there is bit of sentiment in the EN-
blem that will readily appeal to any
OLD soldier. Surprise and indignation
will be expressed when it is known
that Governor Davis is using this en-
blen' atical letter head on an envelope
for a circular that he is sending
broadcast over the state. The circular

TWO NEW BISHOPS
ARKANSAS AND SOUTH MUCH IN
TERESTED IN COMING
CATHOLIC CHANGES.
FreIates Must Suggest Successor to
Archbishop Chapelle and Assist
ant to Bishop Fitzgerald.

Little Rock Ark. Oct. 24.-Great
importance attaches to the appoint
ment of an assistant bishop for the
diocese of Little Rock since the ap-
pointment is to be made with the
right of succession.
For the last two years the Rt. Rev
Edward Fitzgerald senior bishop of
the archdiocese of New Orleans, has
Teen physically incapactated for ac-
paralysis, and spends the great part of
his time at Hot Springs. The active
work of the diocese is delegated to
his vicar general. the Rev. Fintan
Kraemer of this city. But it has been
decided that an assistant is to be
named who shall take over the man
agement of the affairs of the diocese,
and ultimately succeed to the bish-
opric. Hence the care and time spent
in the selection.
The priests of the province have al
ready nominated three eligibles,
whose names have been forwarded to
Rome. 1t remains for the bishops of
the province to nominate three others.
From these six names the papal con-
sistory will select the one destined to
be bishop. The identity of none of the
noy inees is made public, and since a
NJ aber have been mentioned in con-
nection with the high ONCE ii is diff
cult to foretell who it will be-
The bishops were to have met at
Hot Springs last month. but on ac-
count of the restricted railway SER
vice due to the quarantine, no quorum
was present, and the meeting was de-
ferred. 1t is now expected that the
meeting will be held in Hot Springs
about November "a, although no date
has been announced officially. The
bishops council will at the same time
make nominations for a successor to
Archbishop Chapelle, the martyred
rrelate who forfeited his life in the
New Orleans yellow fever scourge
last summer. Bishop Maerchaert of
Indian Territory has been quite PROM
inently mentioned for the place, An
other strong probability is Bishop
Rlenk of Porto Rico, who was located
for twenty-five years in New Orleans
and was a great friend of the late
archbishop.
4 Upon the ultimate results of the
Hot Springs meeting, threfore, depend
interests that are fraught with the
greatest concern not only to Catholics
in Arkansas but throughout {; the
south.

COX SILENT UNDER
TAFT ATTACK.
Cincinnati "Boss" Refuses to Make
Reply to Secretary Of War.

Cincinnati, Oct 24-"I have moth
ing to say was the answer of George
B. Cox, the Republican "boss," when
asked for an expression regarding the
rough handling he received at the
hands of Secretary Taft. The speech
at Akron by the secretary of war
caused a sensation in the ranks of
the local Republicans, and it was ex-
pected that the "big fellow would
have some shot in reply. "All day
long" continued Mr. Cox, l have
been asked these same questions and
have answered them the same way"
Further than this he would not go.

Little ROCK. OCT. 24.-At the reunion
of the Arkansa disvision. United Con-
federate Veterans. to be held in this
city Thursday and Friday, resolutions
will be introduced condemning Cover
nor Jeff Davis for his alleged use of
envelopes bearing the emblem of the
United Confederate Veterans in send
ing out circulars to support his candi-
dacy for the United States senate.
The matter was discussed a a meet
ing of the Omer R. Weaver camp,
held last night, and resolutions had
been prepared to be introduced last
night but it was decided to let the
state convention take the matter up
and take whatever action may be
deemed best.
Members of the local camp declare
that they have in their possession let
ters which were sent out by Governor
Davis in envelopes bearing the en-
blem of the Confederate veterans.
They declare that the governor is now
using them in his campaign for polit-
ical purposes. believing that the recip-
tents of the letters will be led to be-
lieve that his action has the endorse
ment of the Confederate veterans.
The matter will be brought up at
the business session of the reunion
Thursday.
At the meeting of Omer R. Weaver
camp last night arrangements wern
completed for the reunion. Reports
were received from the committees
which have had charge of the prepara-
tions and everything is now ready
for the arrival of the veterans. From
reports that have been received by
the local officials, it is believed that
the attendance will be larger than has
ever been known. as hundreds of vet
Grams will take advantage of the op-
portunity to see and hear President
Roosevelt and attend the reunion at
the SAME time. 1t is expected that
the veterans will begin to arrive in
the city today and that by tomrrow
there will be between 400 and 500
here. There will be large delega-
tions from camps in all cities located
on railroads and the camps at Pine
Bluff and other cities will be present
practically in a body.
At the meeting of the camp last
night it was decided to abandon the
proposed trip to the Confederate
Home at Sweet Home Friday. Moth
ing has been arranged to take the
place of this trip and there will be no
formal meetings held Friday. On Fri.
day evening the board of trade will
give a smoker in honor of the Confed-
crate veterans and the members of the
G. A. r.
The reunion will open Thursday
morning at 1890 O'Clock at the state
house and the morning session will
probably be devoted chiefly to the
hearing of reports from the historical
and other committees and the various
camps. 1t is not likely that the elec-
tion of a commanding general will be
reached before the afternoon session.
A large number of camps have in
structed their delegates to vote for
General ]. F. Smith of this city for
commander, and the members of the
local camp are confident that he will
be elected
An entertainment will be given in
honor of the visiting veterans by the
local chapters of the United Daueh-
ters of the Confederacy at the state
house Thursday night Senator Jas.
II. Berry has accepted an invitation
to deliver an address on this occa-
sion.

DIR. White. who has been in charge
OF the federal forces since August 8,
yesterday confirmed a telegram which
he sent to Secretary Hunter Of the
Mississippi board last night to the ef-
feet that he had the end in sight.
Dr.. White refused to hazard a guess
2s to how long he would remain in
New Orleans, but it is assumed that
his work here will be practically com
pleted by November 9, when the quar-
antine convention at Chattanooga
meets, which is anxious to have him
present.
Dir. White, in summing up the re-
suits Of the fight here, said yesterday

LINE UP FOR GRAIN INSPECTION FIGHT.
GREAT NORTHERN AR1AYED WITH DULUTH

Superior, Wis, Aug. 4.-The Super
ior board of trade has retained the
services of : ttorney L. X. Luse of
this city. and the Wisconsin board of
grain and warehouse commissioners
have retained Attorney George B Hud-
nall to protect their interests IN any
legal difficulties that may arise in CON
nection with the fight which is expect
ed to be made on the Wisconsin in
spection by Minnesota people or the
opponents of the new Wisconsin grain
bill.
The two attorneys are among the
most prominent legal lights in this
vicinity and their selection shows
that the local people will fight to a
finish. Mr. Luse was a candidate for
judge of the supreme cours at the last
election and Mr.. Hudnall is state sen
ator from this district.
So far the threatened fight is in
statu quo. There has been no grain
received since the Wisconsin inspec-
ton went into effect and it is hardly
possible ludt theIS VIII Nc any dHouHt
OF business before the last of this
month.
The Great Northern elevators in
Superior have been leased to the A
D. Thompson company of Duluth and
will be used as private houses. 1t has
been announced that they Will re
ceive only Thompson grain and That
they will issue no receipts. Under
the Wisconsin law elevators which is
sue receipts are public warehouses.
The Globe Elevator company has like
wise announced that its elevators are
to be operated as private houses and

T|CkERS FAIL TO
STOP RAILROADS

st. Paul, Aug. 4.-The second day OF
the telegraphers' strike on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
ways ended with the railroad officials
asserting that the strike mad already
been broken and the officials of the
telegraphers' union declaring that 1T
mad only begun. Both sides profess
satisfaction with the situation and
each maintains that the struggle will
be ended within a fortnight. The rail-
roads have been able to keep the more
important trains very nearly to sched-
ule time. Freight trains are being
successfully handled he abandon
ment of a number of way freights was
the most serious disablement OF the
traffic yesterday.
The railway officials claim that there
ilas been a notable break in the ranks
of the strikers. All the operators on
one branch of the Great Northern in
North Dakota have gone back to work
and 80 or 40 more have signified their
willingness to DO so. Many substi.
tutes were placed during the day and
men from different parts of the coun-
try are being examined and put to
work as rapidly as taey arrive.
Rumors of sympathetic strike OF
the trainmen have been in circulation
and although conferences have been
acid with this plan in view it is de-
clared that such move is not impenI-
ing.

In reply to the first communication
Of The city clerk. Secretary of State
Houser wrote informing him that if
proofs could be furnished the depart
ment that the enumeration was
faulty, that would be sufficient ground
for the ordering of a new enumera-
ton. The secretary of state also as
sred the city clerk of his desire to
have the census accurate. The city
clerk has now filed with the secretary
of state an affidavit to the effect that
the state enumeration has fallen be-
low the federal enumeration in vari-
Gus precincts of the city. This is the
only proof contained in the affidavit
and upon this representation the sec.
Rotary of state is not inclined to be-
lieve that he can convict the state
enumerators of inaccuracy and cause
the work to be done again Further
and more reliable proof of the incor-
rectness of the enumeration must be
filed or the figures will stand as they
are now.
