Been PLENTIFUL
Chairman Hitchcock Pleads
Poverty as Reason for Re-
publican Inactivity.
CAMPAIGN TO BE RUSHED
ROOSEVELT ACCEPTS A HEARST
ISLANDER AS TRUE.

Chicago, Sept. H.-That the funds nee
essary to defray the expenses of a long,
vigorous speaking campaign have not been
forthcoming was frankly admitted today
by Chairman Frank II. Hitchcock of the
Republican national committee. The state
ment was made in explanation of the de-
lays that have attended the beginning of
the campaign work in most of the states.
Il have no apologies to make" he said.
I'VE knew long ago that we could not
waste any funds, and for that reason we
decided that the proper thing to do was
TO get the states in shape for an offec-
tive campaign for the last month preced-
ing the election. To that end | have gwen
most of my time to the adjustment of
factional differences in large number of
states where the Republicans were rot
pulling together.

Wright Was Nervous.

Mr. Wright at first appeared nervous
and ill-luck seemed to be pursuing him.
The wind was too high in the morning TO
permit of flight and when it fell at
o'clock this afternoon Wright had three
false starts owing to the oblique direction
of the breeze and trouble experienced with
the cradle.
Finally at 5:l5. after the direction of
the starting rail had been changed to
point in the teeth of the breeze, which
was then blowing at about four miles an
hour, the aviator got away nicely. sailing
majestically up the field.

Wildly Cheering Crowd.

With a mad cheer the crowd broke
through the lines and rushed forward,
only being prevented from hosting the
American in triumph on their shoulders
by charging cavalry.
Mr.. Wright told the Associated Press
that he had descended only because of
darkness: he still had sufficient essence
in the tank to last an hour.
AS the measurement under the rules Is
only taken from the flags the official
distance of the light is given as $3.50
kilometers.
For the Michelen aero prize only the
time before sunset counts. and therefore
in his attempt 10 win this trophy Wright
set record of 80 minutes, covering CSC
kilometers.
Mr.. Wright took his achievement with
his usual modesty, but he said that he
was especially glad to have established a
new worlds record for Orvilles sake. He
denied the report that he does not intend
hereafter to carry a passenger.

One Vet Unsettled.

THE last of the state quarrels which
has needed the attention of the national
committee is that in West Virginia, and
| am in hopes that this will be settled at
a conference to be held in that state to-
night l believe the result of that con-
ference will be that both of the Repub-
lican factions which had candidates for
governor will unite on man who will be
acceptable TO the whole party"
Chairman Hitchcock expressed the opin-
ion that if an active campaign can be
carried ON for thirty days, that is, for
the month of October. the Republican ma
tonal ticket will be successful in all of
the normally Republican states. and in
most of the states that have been put in
the doubtful column by conservative poll
tcians.

Moved Like Clockwork.

Around the upper turn Wright swept
back to where the thousands were gath
cred and began describing ellipses Round
after round he went with the regularity of
clock work, and the steadiness of a rail-
road train. The great crowd was at once
delighted and amazed at the remarkable
stability shown by the aeroplane. Wright
at first manifested extraordinary pru-
dence, flying so low that he seemed al
most to skim the earth, but on the thir-
teenth round he rose to sixty feet. Spon-
taneous cheers greeted the picture and
the cheers redoubled as he successfully
surpassed his own record and then his
brothers.
In the gathering darkness the spectacle
became thrilling. The aeroplane could no
longer be seen at the further end of the
field; it appeared and disappeared in the
gloom like a white phantom but the
sound of the ceaseless churn of the pro-
peller told the multitude which had now
grown frantic. that Wright was still IN
the air. Matches were lighted to keep
watch on the fleeing machine and night
had fallen, when at the end of the thirty
third round Wright shut off his motor
and came lightly to the ground.

with the party leaders at Colorado

Places" said Mr.. Hitchcock. We be-
lieVed then that Oct. l would be time
enough to put speakers of national prom
inence and our paid speakers in the field.
IL costs a great deal of money TO keep a
large speaking force engaged. and even if
had thought it necessary | would not
have been able to start the paid men be
fore Oct. l. But have not found it nee
essary. and all the leaders of the party

COMMISSIONERS SIDESTEP
BLAME FOR SLOW RUNS
Some Engine Houses Poorly Located
for Fighting Fires, Board Alleges,
and Funds Are Lacking for
Proper Maintenance

Fire commissioners are piling up ar
guments why the city council should
furnish more funds for the depart
ment.
Because il took No. IS fire company
fifteen minutes to make the five block
run from near Hobart and West Ad-
ans to the burning home of Mrs. Ross
w. Smith at 2270 West Twenty-third
street, the entire building was con-
sumed and a block of dwellings was
threatened, so the neighbors allege.
Three times Mrs. Smith telephoned
for the company, she says, and the
rain-soaked roofs, due to the recent
storm, alone prevented general dam
ages in the neighborhood at Wednes-
day nights fire.
CAPTAIN S. Sepulveda of No. 1S COM
Dany told the commissioners that the
nearby roads were in awful condition
from the rains. The hose cart became
mired az Cimarron street and announcer
team had to be procured from Darn
to pull the cart out.
In raivy weather the horses can
hardly pull the apparatus up the mn
from the present location OF the IRE
house, which is low.
Because fire engine house NO. II is
situated in a hollow at 1919 west sew
enth street in a rattle-trap structure
the fire board passed resolutions yes
terday putting the blame on the city
council if the structure collapses ana
injures anyone.
The council has refused to act on
the recommendation that the house be
repaired or a new site bought

WOULD REDUCE HEIGHT
FOR FIREMEN APPLICANTS
Commissioners Will Esk Exception in
Case of Understood Naval Hero
Who Saved Lives in New
York

Fire commissioners will confer with
civil service commissioners to see II
the physcal standards canont to some
extent lie altered for special cases as
10 height or weight of firemen.
1t is an old question with the civil
service board and as a rule the COM
rnissioners have jealously refused to
let dow. the lars.
Hardly a week passes that some
would-be policeman or fireman does
not asl; exemption on the ground that
lie is only half inch below or over
normal height, or few pounds over
or under normal weight.
Vest crday Sam Winters found him
self against the inexoriable law be-
cause he was three-fourths of an inch
under the fo OF rule.
Winters weighs 1853 pounds and is 5
feet 6A inches.
The applicant served eleven years in
the navy; left Los Angeles in 1898 on
the Oregon, firing all the way to Cuba;
lred torpedo boats in the Philippines
and elsewhere; saved three lives in
lre in New York, and has climbed and
scaled all kinds of heights.
Commissioner Anthony Schwamm
was his champion before the board,
remarking that the little brown men
lad put it all over the Russions,"
and the rule OF stature could be safely
waived in Winters case.

PACIFIC MUTUAL is
TENTH IN STANDING
REPORT FOR PAST YEAR SHOWS
BIG GAIN
Company Has Passed the One Hum
dred Million Mark and Has ln-
creased in Many other
Respects

According to the annual statement
of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
company, just issued, the company
wrote twenty-five millions of business
during 1907 and ranks tenth among
the great companies of the country
This is big jump for the Pacihc as
1t passes many of its old time leaders
in a single year.
Tie standing is derived from a COM
parison of the cash business written
by companies that are issuing indus
trial policies and shows that the ac-
tual cash business written by the Pa
cific was $19,500, 900. 1t is the fortieth
statement of the company and abounds
in items Of progress and prosperity.
It shows two things that are OF more
than ordinary interest. The loans up
on real estate and the loans upon pol
icies greatly increased during the year.
The company has been able to so re-
new it's loans on real estate that the
interest earnings have increased from
5.1S per cent in 1906 to 5.37 In 1907
Both real estate loan earnings and in
come from bond investments showed
gain.
In the loans upon policies the com
pany more than doubled any year OF
its career This was due to the finan-
cial panic which threw hundreds OF
~--N.-
nels of credit and on their policies
the company advanced heavily within
it's reserve accumulationS. While TINS
was a new source of earning to the
company it was bringing home to the
policy holders the benefit of the char
acter of insurance the Pacific has
written. Many of the policies were
available for large loans and in num-
ber of cases saved the holders from
serious business embarrassment.
Passing through an earthquake In
1906 and a panic in 1907 the company
has made steady gains. 1t shows total
assets of over fourteen millions, an IN
come of nearly five and a quarter mil
lions and a total of policies in force of
1O2 millions This array is five times
the amount of 1898. The company has
large investments in bonds, nearly t1ve
millions and the appraisement OF
these. made just before January l,
showed a contraction in value of only
1925. 900. 1t also has over four mill
lions loaned on real estate and nearly
two millions on policies.
The balance struck on assets and
liabilities shows surplus to the policy
holders of $1.316.959. The statement
also shows marked decrease in mana
gerial expense.
! The summary of the years work
shows: New life business written,
25,240, $40; total cash income. SOFA
$50; paid to policyholders, $1,S50,482;
increase of life insurance in force, $5,-
654, 1891; increase in assets, $1,43O, 2O6;
increase in cash income, $236,677.
