WR|GHTS REVEAL
SECRET OF THEIR
AIR CONQUEROR
Mechanism of AerOplane That
Actually Flies Described by
One of the Brothers.
Especial to the Evening star.l

DAYTON, o.. May 29-The secret of
the Wright airship was revealed today
by Orville Wright, he believing that
the interests of himself and his brother
have been sufficiently safeguarded by
patents granted in foreign countries
and by caveat, good for two years,
issued at Washington.
Here Is Wright's description of the
machines
Approximately it consists of a box
like frame forty feet wide, seven feet
long and seven and a half feet deep,
made of spruce and ash. At the centre
and top front is front rudder, fea-
ture which we have introduced and
which has proved superior to the old
method of rear rudder.
"In the centre, to the rear, is the tail
of the machine, approximately twelve
feet In length less than one-third the
length of those on French fliers. This
consists in different models of one or
two vertical cloth covered frames.
"At the rear, balancing the machine
and as near the centre as possible, are
two propellers. Below the framework
and toward the front is a skid, similar
to the rudders on sleds. This is used
for landing and differs in this par
ticular from the French machines
which are equipped with wheels. For
q portion of twelve feet at each end the
upper and lower framework is pro-
vided with a surface of strong cotton
cloth
In the centre of the machine at the
bottom is a small double wheel truck,
which, running on a monorail, is used
while the machine is acquiring speed
enough to leave the ground. The mono
rail is easily movable in any direction.
The Wright machine weighs about eight
hundred pounds and in addition to its
own weight, including a four-cylinder
motor Of between 25 and 30-horsepower,
devised and made by the Wright broth
ers, the machine can carry two men
and fuel enough to drive the
machine three hundred miles. 1t can
carry enough fuel, with one man
aboard, to travel 500 miles.

TWENTY INJURED
WHEN ROYAL BLUE
COACH IS D|TCHED
Three May Die from Disaster
to Crowded Car of
Limited.
FLYING FOR NEW YORK
WHEN RAILS ARE JUMPED
Last of Eight Coaches Derailed
at High Speed Near
COnnellsville, Pa.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, May 29.-
Twenty passengers were seriously in
jured, three of them probably fatally,
Z shortly before noon today when the
observation parlor car on the Royal
Blue limited train, on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, bound from Chi
cago to New York, left the rails two
miles from Garrett, Pa, each of here,
and plunged down an embankment.
vThat none was killed is considered
miraculous. 1t was emphatically stated
by the railroad officials that there were
no fatalities All the injured were
placed aboard a special train and hur-
ried to Cumberland. Nd, where hos
pital accommodations had been pre-
pared by the railroad.
The train, which is one of the most
important on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, left Pittsburg this morning
at o'clock. Owing to the warm
weather conditions prevailing the OBJ
servation parlor car was taken advan-
tage of by as many passengers as could
procure accommodations
miles east of Garrett, and while round
ing sharp curve, the observation car
swung from the tracks.
The train was running on schedule
time, and, like the crack of a whip,
the coupling snapped and the observa-
tion car was thrown down an embank-
ment. The passengers were scattered
pellmell. A number who were seated
on the platform under wide-spreading
awning were pitched far into the air,
alighting clear of the wrecked car, but
among stones and cinders, causing
painful injuries to all. Others were
thrown in a heap to the floor and
showered with broken glass.
Immediately calls for physicians were
SAINT to Connellsville, Cumberland, Rock
wood and other surrounding places. A
special train was started from here q
few minutes after word of the accident
had been received.

TO HONOR DEAD
VETERAN HEROES
Patriotic Exercises Held in All
Public and ParOchial
Schools Here.

Memorial Day exercises were held in
public and parochial schools today, and
the Stars and Stripes waved while pa
triotic airs were played and sung by
thousands of boys and girls. In some
of the celebrations veterans of the Civil
War took part. Thousands of children
carried potted plants to their schools,
which, in turn, were placed in charge
of the Grand Army posts. which will
decorate the graves of veterans to-
morrow.
The classrooms were decorated with
the national colors, and photographs of
Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Roosevelt,
Sheridan, Dewey, Hooker, Kearny,
Ward, Tooker. Mcclellan, Schley
Sampson and other heroes Of army and
navy adorned the walls. "The Star
Spangled Banner" my Country, 'Tis of
Thee" america" Bunker HILL" "Dix-
leland and other patriotic songs were
sung by the children, teachers and prin-
cipals.
Many of the children wore streamers
of red white and blue and some carried
small American flags, which they waved
as they sang. The Constitution was
read in many of the schools.
In the parochial schools the priests
described the meaning of Memorial
Day and the children attended requiem
masses.

FIRST BLOW, MISSING
VICTIM, HITS HIMSELF
Bad Blood Is Said to Have Long
Existed Between Two
Men.

A deliberate attempt to murder Or
derly Ernest Dicree at the City Hos
pital was frustrated today by the poor
eyesight of the would-be slaper, John
M. Shea, an inmate.
Shea made a vicious stab with a
pair of scissors at the orderly when
the latter had turned his back The
first attempt resulted in the would be
slayer's stabbing himself in the alb
domen.
Quick as a flash, while the orderly
was turning to learn the cause of the
commotion, Shea raised the scissors
again and drove them through Dicree's
thick coat into the left shoulder.
AS the scissors clattered on the
floor Dicree turned upon his assailant
and pinioned his arms. Shea danced
in frenzy of rage, declaring that he
would kill the orderly.
The wounds of both men We're ex-
amined and dressed Neither is
thought to be serious. Dicree went
home; Shea was confined in the deten.
ton ward.
Bad blood between the two men il

brought from the county jail, where ht

at suicide by jumping from the third
tier.
Shea is declared by the physicians
at the hospital to be entirely sane, but
of a fiery temper.

Newark Sleuths Help Raid AL
legged Biggest Illicit Still in
State at PassaiC.
PRADY BROTHERS AND
THEIR HELPERS TRAPPED
Brother of Man Called Proprietor
Lashes Horse in Attempt
to Escape Officers.

Charged with operating the largest
"moonshine" still ever raided in New
Jersey, Reuben Prady, proprietor of a
$4,000 plant; his brother Philip, and
three helpers, Benjamin Jacobson. Mox
Smoke and Ludwig Gularzurqz, all of
Passaic will be arraigned this after
noon before United States Commits
sioner Nelson, of Paterson.
The five prisoners were taken at
pistols point by four internal revenue
officers and detectives from Newark,
after lively set-to, when the whole
gang had been caught like rats in a
trap.
Deputy Internal Revenue Collectors
Joseph Cavanaugh and Andrew ].
Breidenback, with Detective Sergeants
Farrell and Ryan made the raid late
yesterday on the alleged illicit still,
which is owned and operated by Reu-
ben Prady at 104 Tenth street, Passaic.
The place had been under the surveil-
lance of the deputies and detectives
for two months. When they broke into
the place at both front and rear, Prady
called out his men, and what promised
to be a bloody fistic encounter was
nipped in the bud by the officers draw
ing their revolvers.
When the four prisoners were taken
to the street Philip Prady was seen
driving away with four unstamped bar
rels of whiskey. A shout from the Off
GERS only caused Prady to whip up his
horses. Cavapaugh ran ahead, and,
catching the horse by the bride and
displaying his gun, forced the driver to
dismount.
The raiders found five mash tanks of
1000 gallons capacity each, filled to the
brim. The furnaces were blazing.
Twelve unstamped barrels of whiskey,
tons of raisins and sugar, empty whis-
key barrels on which the stamps were
intact and ton of brown sugar were
confiscated
Prady's place had a capacity of 5000
gallons a week. Suspicion was directed
to the plant when it was found that,
although operating to the full
capacity stamps had been purchased
for but 1,500 gallons a week. The use
of sugar was prohibited. and Prady
had previously denied vigorously that
it entered into the composition of his
blends.

FIRE IN NEWARK
WAREHOUSE CO.PUT
OUT BY CHEMICALS
Several Thousand Drawn to Me-
Chanic and Ward Streets
When Smoke POnrs.

Fire breaking out in a bundle of
feathers on the top floor of the new
six-story concrete fire-proof warehouse
of the Newark Warehouse Company,
Mechanic and Ward streets. was ex-
tinguished by automatic sprinklers in
the structure.
Several thousand persons were at
tracted to the scene of the blaze, just
around the corner from the -Four Cor
ners' during the noon lunch hour.
Dense volumes of black smoke from the
burning feathers poured from the win
dows Of the building, and for short
time it looked as if dangerous fire
might tax the efforts of the firemen.
When the firemen arrived and broke
in the doors of the threatened floor, it
was found that the automatic sprink-
Iers were dousing the flames with chem
icals.
The crowd standing around the prem
ises numbered 5000. The warehouse is
a new one, having been completed last
December. 1t is made entirely of rein

THINK VANDERBILT
GIRL MET FATE
OF BILLY BROWN
Beautiful University Librarian
Believed to Have Been
Killed by Admirer.
Especial to the Evening star.1

PRINCETON, May 29.-Bertha Van-
derbilt, the pretty librarian who had
half of the students of Princeton Uni
versity for silent suitors-and one or
two as professed admirers---is now be-
Iieved to have met the fate of "BiIIy''
Brown, the Herkimer, N. Y, girl for
whose murder Chester Gillette was cleo
trOcuted.
Following an investigation started by
Prosecutor George Berdine, of Middle
sex County, it is probable that the body
of the unfortunate young woman, which
was found in Raritan Canal on May IS,
five days after she mysteriously disap-
peared, will be exhumed and an
autopsy made.
The father of the young woman, fear
ing disclosures, it is said, insisted that
no autopsy should be made and hur-
ried the body to her home in Amster-
dam, NJ Y, for burial.
Investigations show now that Miss
Vanderbilt was entirely innocent, save
so far as a few harmless fiirtations
may be excepted. Prosecutor Berdine
has assigned County Detective Frank
Hoffman to the case and evidence
which has been brought to light will
make the exhumation of the body i'm
perative, it is believed.
Girl Appeared Nervous.
Perhaps, like Grace Brown, Bertha
Vanderbilt was crueIIy beaten down
before her body was thrown in the
water. On her head, at the side of her
face and on the back of the neck were
severe bruises, as though she had been
attacked by blunt instrument, as was
Grace Brown. An autopsy would de-
termine if she was dead when thrown
in the water.
On the evening of May 49, the last
day on which Miss Vanderbilt was
seen alive, she had an appointment to
canoe on Carnegie Lake with August
Dohn, teller in the Princeton Bank.
They were to meet at o'clock and
enjoy moonlight ride on the lake in
Mr.. Dohn's canoe. Mr.. Dohn kept the
appointment, but the girl did not He
walked UP and down the towpath be-
tween the lake and the canal, beyond
the Harrison street bridge, where they
were to have met, but Miss Vanderbilt
was not to be seen.
May Have Been Beaten.
An hour before o'clock the young
woman was seen to leave the house
at which she was boarding, in Nassau
street, Princeton village, and walk
toward the Harrison street bridge. She
walked slowly and turned around to
look back of her several times, as
though she expected to be overtaken
by someone. She was last seen turn
ing into Harrison street.

"This man." pointing to Clemens,
who, as a witness, testified that he
was a criminologist and was infaIlible.
"needs an advertisement" said Whit
more's lawyer. HE seeks it here. Are
you going to give him that ADVERTISE
ment and sacrifice this mans life as the
price of it?
simpson RidicuIes CriminoIogist.
"There is a man who says he has
made a science of crime-or a study of
the science of crime. He comes on the
stand here and tells you that he can
tell a criminal by the location of his
eyebrows. that one eye is squint or that
the lobe of one ear is misshapen. Then
he tells you that he never made mis-
take, that he is infallible. He places
himself on the pedestal with God. He
is the only infallible mortal of whom I
have ever heard.
But, can tell you of one case where
he was not infallible. He identified the
body of "a young woman as that of Mar
garet Lynch, despite the fact that all
of her brothers, her sisters. her mother
tives insisted that the body was not
that of Margaret Lynch, but of another
woman. And it was subsequently
proven that it was the body of another
woman.
THAT is the amount of this mans
infallibility."
Here Mr.. Simpson broke into what
he said was "a little piece of poetry.
which L just thought of coming into
court" and he spoke it to the jury:
"Oh, happy criminologist, who does not
need the facts;
Who only watches and by his imagina-
ton acts.
He does not need to try to find the
truth that may be hid
He only needs to dream and dream,
and then the thing is did"
"That is just as bad as this case is"
Mr.. Simpson confessed "but it tells the
story. The whole case has been farce.
There has been very few facts sub
mitted here, and the true facts have
shown that Whitmore was not in Har-
rison the night Mrs. Whitmore was
killed.
1--WE have placed witnesses on the
stand here" continued Whitmores s
counsel, "to show that Whitmore was
in Brooklyn and Manhattan on last
Christmas night. We have shown that
Whitmore had just taken his wife back
to her home, that she had felt blue.
and to humor and pet her he had given
her money to go to Schenectady. She
deceived him. She went somewhere
else. She went TO New Jersey with
someone not yet revealed. That some-
one can tell who killed her.
You have heard from Coogan, the
honest old night watchman, that posi-
lively Whitmore was not the man he
saw with the woman in Harrison. The
State has given you but one witness
who dared to say he saw Whitmore in
Harrison. That man admitted that he
was quite blind, and that he only saw
the back of the man who he believed
was Whitmore.
