Madison.-An interesting case of
The statute which creates fire and
police commission in cities of the sec
Ond and third classes, and places the
chief Of police and chief OF the fire
departments under the civil service
laws. may result from the election of
George Appleby as GAINESVILLE marshal
TO succeed his brother, William II.
Appleby, resigned The fire and police
commission followed the letter of the
law as interpreted by the city attor.
ney. The city council has had the
selection Of the city marshal. Friends
Of the defeated candidates are now
urging that the validity Of the law be
tested It is alleged that the law is
faulty as regards the situation in
GAINESVILLE, as the city works under a
special charter, while the attorneys
who have been employed to defend the
new chiefs right TO the office say that
the law provides that the rule shall
be in effect in every city, whether un.
der a special charter or not It is
probable that the present council
which has one more meeting, will at
tempt to take some definite action, as
the majority of the retiring members
are opposed to Mr.. Appleby.

Waste Of Life in Coal Mlnino.


During the year 1906 nearly 1000
men were killed or injured in the coal
mines OF the United States, and ind.
cations point to an increase In that
number since that period, due TO a
lack o. proper and enforceable mine
regulations; to the lack Of reliable 10
formation concerning explosives used
in mining, and the conditions under
which they can be used with safety
to the presence Of gas and dust en-.
countered in the mines and to the fact
that in the development OF coal min.
Ing not only Is the number Of coal
miners increasing but many areas
from which coal is belZg taken arc
either deeper or farther froE the en-
trance whore good ventilation is moro
difficult and the dangerous accumula-
tons OF explosive gas are more fire..
qucnt To remedy this state OF al
United States must adopt the means
that have proved successful In Euro.
pcan countries. In 1895 our ratio Of
killed In every 1000 employed IN
mines was 2C7. In 1906 It reached
$40 Effective mining legislation tells

Edward r. Emerson, the president
of the American Wine Growers asso-

New York the other day and lunched
in a Broadway cafe with an editor.
Mr.. Emerson, naturally, is con-
noisseur of wines. The editor deems
himself something of a connoisseur,
too, and introduced Mr.. Emerson with
some pride to Rhine wine, pre-
sumably Of the famous '95 vintage.
Well" he said how do you like

Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1908-09-18

Wright regained consciousness at
the hospital and dictated cablegram
to his brother Wilbur at Lemans,
France, and requested the same mes
sage to be sent to his sister and
father at Dayton, Ohio, assuring them
that he was all right. Two thousand
persons were at the aeronautical
testing grounds at Fort Myer this
afternoon when the accident happen
ed. Several days ago Wright an
nounced that he would take Lieuten-
ant Selfridge, who is secretary of the
aerial experiment association and an
aeroplanist himself, in his next flight.
Lieutenant Selfridge was scheduled
to leave on Saturday for Fort St.
Joseph, Missouri, where he was to as
sist Lieutenant Fouler in operating
the Baldwin airship at the coming
army maneuvers.
After Wright told him to get in the
machine, Lieutenant Selfridge took
| off his coat and hat and took his seat
next to that occupied by Wright The
latter started the motor by means of
storage battery, his assistants, Tay-
lor and Furnass, turning the propel-
lers to get them going. At 5:14 the
aeroplane was released but it was
noticed that it did not rise as quickly
from the ground as on the previous
two-man flights. Selfridge weighed
about IT'S pounds, making greater
weight than the machine ever carried
before. After gliding over the
ground on runners for thirty feet the
machine rose gradually and had gain
ed height of forty feet when it
passed over the starting apparatus for
the first time. There was a six-mile
wind blowing, but the aeroplanist
however, apparently had complete
control of the aerial flyer, which rose
to height of seventy-five feet as he
completed the second round. This
height was maintained for the third
round. While the machine was turn.
ing at the southern end of the field
several thousand feet from the spec
tators. some one shouted. Whats
that? something fell" Immediately
all eyes were on the aeroplane and II
was seen to turn over on its left side
pausing moment and then making
a complete turn came sweeping tC
earth In cloud of dust. No effort OF
the part OF the navigator could pos
sibly have averted the accident as tn,
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1908-09-18

plane rudders were absolutely incap-
able of righting the machine when
turned in that manner. AS the gaso-
line tank was pierced when the ma
chine fell to the ground there was
great danger that some person might
come to near with lighted cigar or
cigarette and add an explosion to the
disaster. Soldiers, however, kept the
crowd at safe distance. Lieutenant
Selfridge was expecting his mother,
who lives in San Francisco, to arrive
in Washington this month. He is a
nephew of Admiral Selfridge and has
brother who is an officer in the
navy.
Wright yesterday replaced the pro-
oilers which he had been using with
another pair, the blades of which
were six inches longer. They were
used for the first time in today's dis
astrous fight. Many who witnessed
the flight are of the belief that the
change of propellers caused the acci-
dent. An examination of the broken
blade showed that it snapped off at
point one-fourth distance from the
hub. Deep indentation in the broken
piece indicated it had struck some
other part of the aeroplane. Among
the eye witnesses were Charles r.
Flint Of New York, the international
representative of the Wright broth
ers. Flint said tonight that the Fort
Myer flights would be resumed as
soon as Wright recovered and sthe
machine was repaired. 4 =
