.FARMAN OFFERS HIS AIRSHIp
GOVERNMENT DECLINES TO
PURCHASE 1T NOW.
French Adviator May Bring Ma

Henri Farman. French aviator. who has
been exhibiting in New York. today Of
fered to sell his aeroplane to the Ameri
can government. The tender was de-
clned.
Farman's American tour has met with
difficulties if not actually an untimely
end in New York. He has decided. I'M
less something unexpected turns up. to
return to France this week.
He had an idea he might sell the
machine to the United States. Through
an American friend in New York he SUBJ
mitted an offer this morning by tele-
phone to Gen. Allen, chief signal officer.
Not because of any doubt as to what
the machine would do. but because it was
impossible either to buy the machine OFF,
hand or to admit Farman to the tests
that are now being made at Fort Myer,
the refusal was given.
1t was explained at the War Depart
ment that the signal service had months
ago advertised for machines. and in re-
Spouse to numerous applicants had draft
ed conditions covering the machines and
the flights they were to make.
Tests to assure compliance with these
conditions are now being made with the
dirigible balloon built by Capt. Baldwin.

If so. the transaction will be entirely in

over two miles on level ground, but has

some chance Of his opening Independent
negotiations with the signal service.

Alexander Garland and Louise
Scott Wed a Year Ago.
SECRECY WAS maintained
Acquaintance Surprised by Report
of Trouble.
CHARGE OF DISTURBING PEACE
Man Reticent as to the True Reason
for the Difficulty With
Wife.

LOS ANGELES. Cal. August 1O.-Al-
eXander Garland. who claims to have been
secretary of the Peruvian legation at
Washington and who. with Mrs. Louise
Garland. was arrested last Saturday on
a charge of disturbing the peace. was re-
leased on bail yesterday. furnished by
Antonio Lozano, Mexican consul at Los
Angeles.
The troubles of the Garlands began
Thursday over some letters said to have
been received by Mrs Garland from men
prominent in Washington public life
When taken to the central police station
Mrs. Garland gave $50 cash bail for her
self, but refused to assist her husband,
who remained in Jail overnight There
being no Peruvian agent at Los Angeles,
Senior LoZano furnished bail for the
young man.
Garland Is Reticent.
Garland was reticent as to the true
reason for the difficulties between him
self and his wife. He said:
Il shall say nothing that might injure
her reputation in any way or cause her
pain. She is niece of Attorney General
Bonaparte and we'll known in the east.
1 was secretary of the Peruvian legation
when l was suspended on account of an
alteration with Col. Charles A. Edwards,
in which l was stabbed"
1t was made known today that Mrs.
Scott and Senior Garland were quietly
married in New York shortly after the
stabbing incident in May. 1907. Few of
the friends Of either SO far as is known,
penetrated the secret.
According to neighbors of Senior and
w
months at 1340 street, there was no at
tempt made to conceal the marriage en-
tirely. but there was a marked DISPOSE
ton to keep 1t as quiet as possible.
Senior Garland. it was stated today. was.
at the time of his marriage, paid a sort
of pension by his government to study
architecture. This allowance was to be
forfeited in case of any ventures into the
matrimonial field.
Reason for Secrecy.
1t was because of that proviso, it Is I'M
derstOod. that the marriage was never re-
vealed except to those who were so sit
uated that some such revelation was nee
essary.
1t was about six weeks ago that Mrs.
Garland left Washington. going. she told
neighbours to Denver to visit a sister. who
is i'll. 1t was not known here that she
had gone to the Pacific coast until the
dispa tches telling of the incident in Los
Angeles were published.
So far as former neighborS know, the
married life of the couple in this city
was peaceful and not indicative of such
tempestuOus days as are revealed by the
news from the west.

STABBED IN A FIGHT
SERIOUS SEQUEL TO A QUARREL
OVER A WOMAN.

Luther Johnson, colored of 462 l. street
southwest was taken to the Emergency
Hospital last night from Az and Van
streets with a dangerous stab wound in
his left breast. which he received while
engaged in fight, the police report, with
Frank Hawkins. also colored.
1t was stated by the police that the men
quarreled about a woman Hawkins dis
appeared.
The police in the outlying districts were
instructed to pay particular attention to
every avenue of escape.
Blade Penetrated the Heart.
DIR. Charles S. White, associate surgeon
at the hospital. worked for about one and
n half hours to save Johnson. The weapon
used had penetrated the heart. and the
delicate operation had to be performed
without any delay i'm order to prevent the
last spark of life from leaving the body
of the victim. the wound being similar to
that sustained by Richard Denton, COL
Ored, who was operated upon successfully
at the hospital several months ago.
Dr. w. r. Mclaughlin administered a
salt solution, while DIR. John Hall saw
that too much ether was not given. and
DIR. White proceeded to open the patient s
chest to find the cause of the weakness,
Drs E. p Magruder and the others men
toned assisting.
The heart was soon exposed and it was
found that the knife had made an ugly
wound about one. inch above the apex
the instrument having also entered the
left lung and made hole through which
air was escaping. 1t was found by the
surgeons that the blood that had escaped
from the heart had filled the pericardium
greatly distending 1t and interfering with
the hearts action.
Between the heart beats DR.. White was
able to put i'm the seven stitches required
to close the gaping wound. The blood was
emptied from the heart covering and wher
the operation was finished the patient
was sent to a ward. He spent a rather
restless night. about what was expected
but today he was doing much better thar
the surgeons had hoped for although he
was not out of danger this afternoon.

of glass in other cars were broken by
stones hurled through them by unknown
persons in the st. Boniface yards, across
Red river from here.
The passenger train was sent to be
turned, and the missiles were thrown while
the train was in motion on the return
trip to Winnipeg. Many Of the stones
are as large as a mans first. and they
were found all over the floors Of the cars.
Trainmen say that several persons were
implicated in the attack on the cars.
Three strikers entered the railroad yards
yesterday and were arrested by special
Police and escorted to the police station.
They were released today by the magis-
trate with a warning not to repeat the OF
Tense. Today twelve WOrkmen who start
ed to work yesterday walked out OF the
yards, remarking to the strikers pickets
at the gates that ''they did not propose
to remain imprison like convicts."

that the engineers are not IN sympathy

Strikebreakers From the East.
The strikers say that in another week
many of the trains will be unfit for the
road At Brandon, Manitoba, where ~
men are out. the strike situation was
given new life last evening when the
company brought in from the east twenty
one men. the majority of them expert
mechanics and boilermakers. On leaving
the train they walked to the yards in
charge OF Supt. Flett. accompanied by
special policemen. The company has &C

widening a number of drainage
bitches along the track which have
carried the water from the swamp
through which the track is built.
This has left the track in much
better condition than was antici.

BIG DRIVE TO Be TAKEN
DOWN The BATTLE RIVER.
Pat Sullivan Will Drive 100000
Through Red Lake to East
Grand Forks.

The Grand Forks Lumber COM
pany will take some 100000 feet
OF logs from the Battle River coun
try down the river to the lower Red
Lake for toting across the lake on
the downward trip to the company's
mill at East Grand Forks.
During the past winter the com
pany had extensive logging opera
tions west and northwest of .Kelliher,
the logs being adjacent to the Battle
river. The company will take this
big drive down the Battle river to
the lake, the first time in the history
of logging in the Red lake country
that so many logs have been destined
to be driven down this small stream,
and the progress made by the COM
pany will be watched with interest.
The drive is in charge of Pat Sulli-
van Of East Grand Forks, one Of the
ablest .loggers in the state, and he
will undoubtedly get the big drive
through to the lake, when it will be
toted across the Red lake and down
the Red Lake river to the mill at
East Grand Forks.
