Contracts have been awarded by the

chimes do not fly they will not be -ac-
copied; but the contractors-Wrig
Bros. OF Dayton, o., A. NJ. Herring of
New York. and ]. F. Scott of Chicago
are confident that they will succeed.
The Wright Bros. recently an
nounced that they had sailed In the
air for is miles or more at the rate of
30 miles an hour. Their flights have
been made In comparative private, or
in the presence of only trustworthy
persons who would not disclose the Sc
crets Of construction. A new competi-
tor for the honors of the sky made its
first flight In public near Hammonds-
port. N. Y. in March. The aeroplane

ing surface. propelled by 45-horse
power motor. after running on the ice
OF Lake Keuka for 400 feet, rose In the
air. sailed 319 feet, and came down
again. Alexander Graham Bell, who
has been experimenting with tetrahed-
raj kites. is one of those Interested In
the development of this aeroplane.
The design for 1t was made by Lieut..
Selfridge of the army. All the lighter

been aeroplanes. and as an English
authority on the subject says, are

Peril Of the TurnstIIe Door.


1t is surprising that the turnstile
door has not long ago aroused strong
protest on the ground that 1t consti-
tutes menace to public safety. We
say this with due appreciation of the
ingenuity of this device, and the sue
cess with which 1t accomplishes its
desired end of preventing the thrush
OF cold air which accompanies the
opening and shutting of doors Of the
ordinary hinged type. The object of
the turnstile door is to provide an In
termittently obstructed passageway
between the interior and the exterior
of building. and 1t certainly fulflls
its end only too well. The peril of
this device lies in the fact that In so
successfully shutting the cold air out
1t effectually shuts the occupants of
the building 1t. The drafty effects of
the ordinary door are avoided by per-
hitting only small pockets of air to
enter In slow succession, and the men,
ace of the door lies in that fact that
people can pass through this same exit
In these same rotating pockets only
one at time. 1t is true, remarks the
Scientific American. that the leaves
of the revolving door are arranged to
fold together. thereby allowing two
persons to pass the door abreast; but
in the event OF panic the jam might be
too great to permit the folding OF the
leaves. Moreover. the doors, even in
the folded condition. present at best
but a narrow passageway. We have
in mind. as we write, certain hotel
recently opened in this city New
York)-and this is merely typical
case among many-in which the only
exit to the street In case OF fire would
be through one of these doors.

Affairs Will Probably Be Declined.

Washington. Aug. 5.-FeliX Frank
furter had a conference today with
Deputy Controller of the Currency
Kane to discuss a proposition which
the Assets Realization Co. of Chicago
and Charles w. Morse have made to
the receiver of the National Bank of
North America to pace money enough
in the hands of the receivers of the
bank to pay off the remaining liablll-
ties of the bank to depositors.
Several dividends already have been
paid by the receiver and it is desired
by some of the parties interested that
they all be paid off promptly to the
end that the comptroller may call a
meeting of the stockholders for the
election Of an agent to whom the re-
manning assets of the bank may be
turned over for liquidation.
Mr.. Kane says the probabilities are
that the proposition will be rejected
and the banks affairs wound up in The
regular way by the receiver.

PATRICK TO SUPREME COURT.
Appeals, Alleging Unfair Trial and
Increased Sentence"

WASHINGTON Aug. 5.-Albert y. Patrick,
convicted of the murder of William Marsh
Rice in New York City some years ago,
has filed an appeal with the United States
supreme court. Patlick's appeal, piepar-
cd by him in Sing Sing, was received at
the office of the supreme court and dock
eted for hearing at the fall term, which
begins in October.
Patrick appeals from the decision OF
Judge Lacombe of the United St&les cir
cult court for the Southern district OF
New York. who denied Tie convicted
mans application for release from Sing
Sing on writ Of habeas corpus.
PatIick's appeal is based Oh many
grounds, among them claim of IN unfair
trial, inasmuch as it is alleged "a powerful
conspiracy was formed by JuoSe Golf
the trial judge; District Attorney Jerome
the grand jurors and others prominent
politically, socially and professionally.
Another claim of Patrick is that the
governor of New York increased the SEN
tence imposed on him by the court by
making it life imprisonment instead OF
clectrocution. In this connection Patrick
makes the argument that life imprison
| mcnt in New York prison is far more
| severe as a form of punishment thar
electrOcution.
Patrick's appeal bearing his signature
alone, covers about so pages. 1t came by
mail ard was docketed in the usual man
ner.
