After series OF conferences with
steamship officials and cable dis
patches between Thomas MacMechen
and Lieutenant Frank S. Iahm in
Paris, Mr. MacMechen said today that
word had been sent to Farman re-
questing him TO ship his big airship
with all possible haste to Antwerp
and stow II on board the steamer
Samland, which will sail from Ant
werp for Boston Thursday. Mr. Lahm
has been conducting the negotiations
on behalf of Farman for the ST. Louis
syndicate, which had practically com
pleted all arrangements to bring the
successful aeronaut to this country
when, at the eleventh hour, IL was
discovered that on account OF its
great size, the passenger steamers re-
fused to carry the machine.
1t had been supposed by members
of the Aero club here that the wings
of the machine could be folded NJ and
slowed away in a moderate compass.
As the cases containing the frame
work with the wings are more than
forty-five feet ong, they are TOO big
for the hold and too long for the
deck. On advice OF the manager OF
the International Mercantile Marine
company, cable dispatch was sent
to Mr. Lahm advising him to have
Farman's airship sent by the Samland
as facilities would be made, it was
stated, to have that boat carry the
big machine.
The Samland is due in Boston on
July %, and the first days flight at
Brighton Beach was to have been
made on July 80. Mr.. McMechen said
last night that he believed the first
flight now could hardly be given be-
fore July 80, but there will be three
days of exhibitions just the same,
July 30, 81 and Aug. J. Later there
will he flights at Brighton Beach from
Aug. 10 to IA.

NAar On State Saloons.

Guthrie. Okla. July IA quiet but
very active campaign on the dispen-
sary question is now being conducted
by both sides in an parts of the
state. 1t is admitted by friends OF
the dispensary that If the vote were
taken today ii would be against the
dispensary, but they believe that they
can turn the tide before the election
The opponents of the system are
equally confident and believe that
they can make the sentiment against
It even stronger than 1t is now.
One tack that has been taken by
the friends of the present system Is
the change of nomenclature, by which
they refer TO the local repositories Of
state booze as agencies instead of
"dispensares. They claim that the
word dispensary was misleading in
its significance, and have therefore
made the change.

SENSATION LAST NIGHT AT HAM.
MERsTElN's ROOF GARDEN.
The VISION OF SAL0ME
Gertrude Hoffman, Who Went to Lon.
don to Copy Maud Allan, Appears
AS Nearly Nus as Possible
Topics Of the Metropolis.

New York, July ia vaudeville
act was produced at Hammerstein's
roof garden last night which will stand
as a model OF state managers art In
a dance called The Vision OF Sa-
lone Miss Gertrude Hoffman pre-.
sented an imitation OF the sensational
scene in which Miss Maud Allan has
won acclaim abroad. Miss Hoffman is
a mimic. not a poetic dancer or great
actress. but. in spite of these handi-
caps, she aroused the audience to a
high pitcn.
Much has been written and said
concerning the dance of Salome. II
has been lauded and criticised. but It
has never been ignored. Miss Horf
man made trip to London for the
sole purpose of copying Miss Allan,
her scenery and costumes. and wha.
the roof garden spectators say last
night was the result.
When the heavy velour curtains
parted, Salome was observed standing
in the courtyard of Herods palace. \
subtle blush light bathing the mas
siye pillars and dimly lit garden en-
veloped her in its misty, volupmous
haze Above the waist the bare skin
was festooned with ropes of varicol-
ored jewels which shimmered with the
slightest tremor, while below. hang
ing in graceful folds, a spangled skirt
of flimsy black accentuated the naked
limbs beneath. Such vision was this
Salome as she moved toward the foot
lights
with some semblance of poetic
race, Miss Hoffman began her dance.
In a snuous. sensuous movement, ut
terly devoid of vulgarity, she indicated
in pantomine her JOY at the victory
she had achieved for her mother,
Herodias. in the death of John the
Baptist.

Of the rats would have escaped had it
not been for the fact that a number of
patients were in the yard
st the first glimpse of the rats the
patients entered fully into the spirit

The later ran for their lives, scattering
over the entire yard, but not one of
them escaped. For awhile the patti.

Commissioners
At A DEADLOCK

Frank Erdman, P. j. Glennan and
Casper Tharp, comm issi oners of North
umberland county, arrived at South
! Danville on the 10:l7 train Tuesday
forenoon to meet the Montour county
board in joint session for the purpose
OF taking action on the extending of
the wingwall of the river bridge ON
the South side.
There was no joint meeting how
ever. A little preliminary conversation
revealed that the two boards are wide
ly at variance over the building of the
retaining wall on the north side of
the river and the whole affair remains
at q deadlock, which does not promise
to be broken very soon.
The commissioners of Northumber-
land county were met at the station
by Messrs. Leighow and Sechler of the
Montour county board accompanied
by Edward S. Gearhart, Esq. attorney
for the county. The party immediate
ly proceeded to the bridge approach
on the south side to see what addi-
tion to the wingwalls are needed.
While looking over the ground the
Northumberland county board propos-
ed that joint action be taken at once
relating to the wing walls on the
south side approach, authorizing the
erection of the same.
The Montour county board made it
plain that it would assist on the south
side improvement only on condition
that the Northumberland county board
would jointly assist in building the
retaining wall along the plot owned
by the two counties just west of the
approach to the bridge on the north
side. The Northumberland county
board unqualifedly opposed doing any
thing on the Danville side lof the riv-
er. The Montour county board was
just as resolute and positively refused
to assist in building the wingwalls on
the south side until the long deferred
building of the retaining wall on the
Danville side is taken up. So, here the
matter rests. Under the circumstances
there was no formal session and the
Northumberl county commission
erG on the l2:l passenger train re-
turned to Sunbury.
