.DUMONT HAS NEW
FLYING MACHINE
Wings Constructed of Polished Wood
Instead of Canvas-WiII Try
for Ten Thousand
Dollar Prize
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, March 11.-Santos Dumont's s
new aeroplane, constructed to compete
for the Deutsch Archdeacon prize of
$10 900 for the first heavier than air"
machine to cover a distance exceeding
one kilometer and return to the point
of departure, is much smaller, more
rigid and more powerful than the Bird
of Prey, with which he won the Arch
deacon prize with flight Of 220 meters
last fall.
In the new machine the canvas of
the wings has been replaced by very
thin polished wood and the frame work
is of light mahogany. Two wings, con-
structed like Hargrave box kites, meet
at an angle of eight degrees and have
sphead from tip to tip of thirteen
meters. The width of the wings is only
sixty centimeters.
The fifty-horse power motor at the
central will operate a propeller, the
aluminium blades of which are two
meters in diameter. The propeller has
been placed in front in the belief that
1t will prove a better grip on the air
behind, and below the motor is a seat
for the operator. The helm and steer
ing gear are In the rear with side rud-
ders on the wings for controlling the
equilibrium of the machine.
The Whole aeroplane weighs twenty
kilos less than the Bird of Prey. 1t IS
mounted on a single cycle wheel,
equipped with an auto tire, for the pre-
liminary run before the aeroplane
mounts.
The trials will begin as soon as the
ground at st. Cyr is sufficiently hard
to give a good running surface.

LOSE
THEIR LIVES
IN PIT RIVER
GreekLabOrersDrown
, Near Kennel
Through Fear, Foreigners Crowd to
One End Of the Small Boat, caus-
ing It to capsize In
Midstream
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
REDDING, Cal, March 11.-Flfteen
men lost their lives in the treacherous
Pit river this afternoon.
The men were Ill Greeks employed in
the construction crews of the Sacra-
mento Valley & Eastern railroad.
building in the Delamar copper smelter
to the new station of Bonita on the
Southern Pacific railroad, three miles
above KenLet.
Nineteen men, besides the ferryman,
an Indian of the name Of George Wes-
ley, and the foreman of the crew,
Charles O'Neill, started to cross the
river on the new ferryboat of the COM
pany.
When the boat had reached the mid
die of the stream the Greeks, for some
reason unknown, punched upon one end
Of the 24-foot boat, which caused the
boat to rise on end and the men were
thrown back.
Then they piled up In bunch at the
other end. One was washed overheard
during the proceeding and the sight of
the man in the river frightened the
others until they were panic stricken.
They ran to the side of the boat, some
jumping up on the ratings, the while
chattering wildly and gesticulatlng.
Finally the boat was overbalanced
and every man slid off into the water.
The ferryman and the foreman grabbed
the boat and stayed with it.
They were saved. Two other men had
presence Of mind enough to swim and
gained the nearest shore, but fifteen OF
the Greeks completely lost their heads
and went down.
Search for Bodies
The Sacramento is tonight lined with
men dragging and searching for the
bodies. The ferry boat is a 10x24-foot
affair and is used exclusively for the
transportation Of men and supplies tC
and from the railroad construction
| camps.
| Early this morning a crowd of thirty.
four Greeks were taken over in safety
so the boat was not overloaded thil
afternoon when but nineteen started
across.
| When the news reached the Greel
camp near the river there was great
| excitement.
| The Greeks were terror stricken anC
some of them started pell nell to gel
| away from the scene, apparently being
afraid to be in close proximity to sc
many Of their dead. AS result Of the
excitement wild stories were sent out
the first being to the effect that fifty
had been drowned.
Then it was twenty-five. Later in
the day the reports dwindled to eleven,
At o'clock tonight a messenger sent
to the scene of the drowning returned
He states there were at least fifteen
drowned.
None of the bodies have been recov-
cred.
The Pit river has a reputation of
never giving up it's dead and it is
hardly probable that any of the bodies
will be recovered unless they happen to
be swept down into the Sacramento and
lodged on sand bars.

MRS.
EDDY IS HELD
PRISONER
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CONCORD. N. H., March 11.-Fred
T. Baker of EPSON, N. B., second
cousin of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
and DR.. e. ]. Foster Eddy of Water
bury, VT, Mrs. Eddy's adopted son,
have become additional parties to the
plaintiff as next friends" of Mrs. Eddy
to the bill in equity brought to secure
an accounting of her property against
leaders of the Christian Science church.
In joining in the bill in equity, DR..
Foster Eddy says in his petition that
he has become convinced that Mrs.
Eddy is, and for a long time has been,
incapable of intelligently conducting
or receiving and accounting for her
business and property, and that the
same is being managed wholly by the
defendants without giving proper ac-
counting thereof"
Fred T. Baker in his petition says
that he is second cousin of Mrs. Eddy,
and that in September, 1906, he was sent
by his employers to examine and re-
pair and alter certain carriages Of Mrs.
Eddy. He made known to Mrs. Eddy
his relationship to her and she treated
him cordially inviting him to remain
in the house, which he did one night.
She invited him to visit her with his
wife and children at any time. Mr..
Frye, however, told him that he ought
not to make that visit.
During the past three years he wrote
to Mrs. Eddy twice, offering to avail
himself of her invitation to visit her,
but he received no reply and he be-
lieves that she was not permitted to
see either of the letters.
In September of 1905 he said he de-
cided to make an effort to see Mrs.
Eddy. He went to Concord and to her
house and Mr.. Frye refused him the
privilege of seeing her. He believes,
he says in his petition that Mrs.
Eddy is virtually prisoner in her
own house; that she is kept secluded
by the defendants, Frye and others,
and that she is not capable under
present conditions of managing her
own business.
Mrs. Eddy sent her carriage today
for her counsel, former Congressman
Henry M. Baker, who made long
call at Pleasant View, and on his re-
turn said he had discussed with Mrs.
Eddy both personal and legal matters
He said that she was in her usual
health and spirits and that while she
was concerned about the pending pro-
ceedings he did not think they would
have any injurious effect on her.

THROES OF
STRIKE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 11.-Vio-
lence resulting in injuries to nearly a
dozen persons and the spasmodic opera
ton of less than 100 cars for a few
hours under apparently inadequate
police protection, marked the second
day of the strike of the union employees
of the Louisville Railway company.
Few, if any, of the cars operated were
patronized, and number were stoned.
Officials of the street railroad tonight
declared they had not asked for addi-
tional officers and emphaticany denied
that they intended calling on Sheriff
Bell to furnish full protection, which
would necessitate the use of the militia.
Mayor Paul @. Barth stated he had not
been asked to swear in extra policemen.
Superintendent Funk of the street
railway company denied that any pro-
fessional strike breakers had been sent
for, and stated that all extra men hired
so far were residents of Louisville and
vicinity
He said that 225 men reported for
work today. Mr.. Funk declared that
tomorrow two policemen would be car
ried, and that if the crowds could be
kept moving the service would be ex-
tended during the day.
At l o'clock this afternoon attempts
to maintain service within the city
limits were abandoned, and three hour.
later the suburban lines were alsC
given up, but the Interurban servict
into Indiana was not interfered with
There are tonight about 5000 suburb
antics spending the night in Louisville
owing to the abandonment of the ser.
| vice on their lines.
