Flying Machines Wanted.

At the army signal office where
specifications for new heavierthan-
air flying machines were printed, it
is known that the Wright brothers
of Cleveland, who have had much
success in aeoplane navigation, in
tend to submit a proposal. Something
like thirty CHER requests have been
made for specifications, although most
of these are recognized as being from
scientific men or men who make tue
request through curiosity. 1t is a
rare opportunity for those who have
been talking about flying machines
for many years to furnish the gov
eminent with something that is tang
ible. The War Department is in a
position to encourage the develop
ment of mechanical fight if any OF
the numerous inventors who have been
sending al sorts of suggestions to
the Board OF Ordnance and Fortifica-
tons ana the chief signal officer Of
the army will convert their theories
into something which is solid enough
to hold two men, and light enough to
carry them off the earth.

Four Men Control Copper.

-Four operators control over 20 per
cent of the entire production of cop
per in the United States. They con-
duet operations with unlimited means
and on a scale which is enormous,
single plants in some cases milling
5000 tons of copper ore daily and
smelling plants producing from co.
100000 TO 175,000,0O0 pounds of cop
per ore does not lenonononan mann
per each. This situation is partly
due to trust operations and in some
degree to the fact that copper ore
does not lend itself to simple reduc-
ton. Much money is required to be
spent on the development Of ore bod
les, and an expensive mill and smelt-
er are necessary in order to operate
on large scale, which alone reduces
the cost Of extraction.

Denounced by Governor.

Jackson, Miss.-Governor Varda-
man, when questioned concerning the
report that certain Italian children
had been refused permission to enter
the state, from New Orleans, said:
1t is the first that / have heard
of anything of the kind, and it seems
so absolutely unfounded and ride
ulous that it seems unnecessary to
make a statement. No one in this
state, in official authority has any
right to prohibit the entry of any
children or adults, Italians or any
other nationalities into the state, I'M
less it might be in the time of yellow
fever or other epidemic disease, with
quarantine existing.
"As to this specific instance, /
know nothing, and / am inclined to
believe that there must be some mis-
understanding somewhere unless some
local official has exceeded his author
ity, or else has some valid reason for
action, which has not yet come to my
knowledge and as to reports or views
from Washington, l have heard moth

Notorious and Glaring. ;

Ensoln, matchmaking on the
charge of M. F. Dunlap of Jackson
willie, ILL.,, that the treasury depart
ment favors New York as against
Chicago and st. Louis by depositing
$500, 100000 in New York banks and
only $7,OOO,OOOO and 100000 re-
spectively at Chicago and st. Louis,
Mr.. Bryan in his Comrnoner of today
says the favorbtism is notorious and
glaring.
He says the matter is still further
aggravated by the fact that the New
York banks have refused to return
to Western banks money deposited
with them. He says the Western
banks are not to blame for the fnan-
cial furry, and yet the government,
instead of helping them, gives most
of IT'S attention to New York city,
whose fnanciers, he declares, have
been indifferent to the interest of
the country.

Trouble For Adler.

New Orleans.-Aln,ost unparalleled
misfortunes have been heaped in the
short space of one week upon Will
liam Adler. one of New Orleans fore
most bankers and Leading whole
sale grocer of the South. The arriv-
al of news that Mr.. Adlef'is a ship
wreck refugee at Belize, British Hon.
duras, added several new misfortunes
to record already big.
One week ago Mr.. Adler's resigns-
ton as president of the State Ma
tional bank shook New Orleans fl
nancial circles. Since then the bank
has announced that it must go out of
business. Mr.. Adler's wholesale gro
Gerry firm, one of the largest in the
South, has gone into the hands OF
receiver; a load of groceries eonsign-
ell to Honduras, which Mr.. Adler's
friends claimed were one of his last
hopes of recouping his fortunes, has
been lost by shipwreek; and the
steamer Alps, carrying both the gro
ceries and Mr.. Adler, and owned by
Mr.. Adler, is total loss by the same
wreck. BY the merest slip of chance
the insurance policy on the shipload
of groceries was rendered worthless
by failure of premium payment be-
fore the wreck.

QUIET SUNDAY
IN new ORLEANS
ALL "DRoUTH" RECORDS BRoK
EN- BY TIGHT LID.
FEW VIOLATORS WERE FOUND
Observance of Statue Was General
and Officers Found But Few Vio-
lators. Great Rush Made Monday
Morning.

Last Sunday was the dryeSt Sunday
New Orleans ever experienced. Not
since the beginning OF the enforce
ment of the Sunday law, when occa-
sional requisition has been made on
the statutes which authorize it, has
there been less liquor selling and
liquor drinking than on the day
which has closed. There was prac:i-
cally nothing doing in the downtown
district and those saloonists who
made bold to attempt fracture OF
the law in the outlying district were
arrested almost before they had sold
the first drink. The strict observance
of the law and the smallness of the
number of violators arrested was the
subject of considerable comment in
police circles after the ban was re-
moved at midnight.
Contrary to expectation, Inspector
WHITAKER made no personal demon
stration against possible Sunday law
violators during the day. Possessed
of "hunch" that his services would
not be needed, he remained quietly
in his office and kept tab on the situa
ton through his subordinates. And
he was not disappointed in his fore
cast. Only three arrests were made
in the First Precinct, and they were
made within an hour after the law
went into effect Saturday night.
All day plain clothes men "gum-
shoed" through localities where it
was thought liquor drinking might be
going ON, and efforts were made BY
the sleuths to apprehend vilators OF
the law. The officers stood silently
by the doors and windows of the
dramshops and fingered in numerous
restaurants; their listening failed to
detect the sound of clinking glasses
and linger as they might no waiter
or restaurant proprietor was obserS-
ed to furnish forbidden drink to
thirsty patrons.
More than the usual number of
grocers was arrested for selling goods
and several cigar dealers were taken
for the same cause, but at II o'clock
Sunday night the record showed that
far less than the usual number of
saloonists had been arrested for neg
lecting to maintain the provisions of
the statute.
During the day several specifically
minded persons were overheard to
declare that the law was not being
observed in many places and that noE
less than a dozen saloons were sell
ing liquor wits the connivance Of
the police, but these declarations were
denounced as unwarranted and ao-
surd by police officers who expressed
themselves.
Clocks had not finished striking the
midnight hour before bartenders were
on the jump and thirsty customers
crowded the saloons. For some time
the rush continued unabated, as twen- |
ty-four hours had evidently served
to get imbibers in such a dry state
that their thirst was not easily /
quenched. However, the saloons grad
ually became quiet again and the
drouth was over for another week.
