Topeka, Kas., Sept 1t.--W. H, Taft
the republican presidential candidate,
in letter to Walter r. Stubbs, repub-
lican candidate for governor Of KAN
lsas, points out that the Kansas plat
FORMS reference to bank deposit in
surance avoids the objections urged
against the democratic national plat

Middle Bass Island, Sept. Al
agree with you that the action of the
republicans of Kansas, as to an en-
abling act by which banks in Kansas
may voluntarily guarantee each 9TH
er's deposits, is very different from
the proposition in the democratic
platform, enforcing a tax against all
banks, by which they are in effect to
guarantee the recklessness and dishon-
esty of every other bank. Under the
system proposed. for instance, in the
state of Connecticut, Mr.. Hill has
shown that in the course of four years
the banks and depositors of Connecti-
cut would pay out four hundred thou
sand dollars and receive nothing back.
ana that four hundred Thousand dol
lers would s. clip the depositors
in Wall street wh'on, through
the manipulati ste gamblers,

rose of I'D speculation.
Il do the statistics, but |
have no G1tu, the same thing in per-
maps less marked degree would be
true in Kansas. OF course. you could
not expect me to express an opinion
on state measure of this sort, be-
cause State legislation is not involved

~ believe that the proposition in the
ly ciieNe, that the proposition in the
Kansas platform avoids altogether the

HANDLES MARVELLOUS
AER0PLANE AT WILL
Describes Figure "8" Over
Fort Meyer Drill Grounds
Amid PIaudits Of Enthusiast
tic Army and Navy Officers,

IBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wire.l
Washington, Sept. 11--Mr Wright
arrived at the testing grounds at Fort
Myer at 4 o'clock and Immediately
prepared to make a fight. He had
been in conference with Lieutenant
Sweet, the representative of the navy
at the aeronautical trials, in connec-
tion with the plans of the naval
branch of the service for adopting
aeroplanes.
The weather conditions were ideal
and Mr.. Wright lost no time Before
making the first flight Mr.. Wright
said:
Il want to make a flight of about
ten minutes in order to see how my
present speed compares with what l
made at Kittyhawk N. C. | have a
time and a distance apparatus attach
ed to the aeroplane but as it registers
only ten kilometers without repeating,
l have to make a short flight in order
to determine the speed at which the
machine travels through the air"
Starting at 4:41 the aeroplane made
nine rounds of the drill grounds and
then, landing within few feet of the
thousand or more spectators, Mr..
Wright computed the spet> II his
record breaking flights.
THE annemometer registers 11.44
kilometers," said Mr.. Wright, making
the speed little over thirty-seVen
miles an hour We made forty-four
miles an hour at Kittyhawk with a
little less power. OF course, the turns
there were much larger and therefore
did not impair the speed as much as
the turns made here, but l had no idea
there was such a great difference
Later Mr.. Wright found that he
had miscalculated the speed, and as
finally computed the speed was an
nounced as 1856 miles an hour.
To those who have witnessed Mr.
Wrght's flights from the beginning
the results, marvellous as they are, are
but the majority of those who wit
messed today's long flight were reused
TO great enthusiasm when the aviator
for the third successive day broke his
best previous record. Fifty-seven
times the machine passed over the
starting point during the seventy min
utes and thirty-siX seconds that it
was up Twice the aeroplanist de-
scribed the figure "S" showing for the
first time during his Fort Meyer
flights that he could control his ma
chine in any direction. A feature of
the landing was that he did not stop
the motor until the machine touched
the ground
Octave Chanute, one of the fore
most aeronauts in the country, arrived
at Fort Myer today. THE Wright
brothers began their work in aero
nautics in an unusual way" said Mr..
Chanute. "Orville was cOnvalescing
from scarlet fever and his brother
Wilbur read Pettigrews' book on aer-
onautcs to him Soon after, the Aero
nautical Annual was published a. the
Wright brothers learned from it's
pages what had been done toward
conquering the air. These experiments
started them"
Before making another ascension at
Fort Myer Mr.. Wright will make n
few changes in his machine in order
to secure greater speed

states that a number Of factories

machinery have engaged in the manu-
facture Of alfalfa meal IN. a CONNER
cial scale.
In order to accomplish this it is nee
essary that the hay be kiln dried. and
even then It is ground at the expense
of great power. Hay as ordinarily
made is not suitable for the manufac-
ture Of alfalfa meal because it on
tains too much moisture, which rem
ders it exceedingly difficult to grind
and more liable to spoil. The DINNER.
cial article is made from selected al.
falfa and mixed with sugar beet mo
lasses in the proportion Of IS per cen!

product contains from 10 to II per cent
of protein and about so per cent of
carbohydrates and fat. 1t is being used

ton of their show animals Of diheren:

B%oyertown, Pa, Jan. 15.-The catas-
trophe resulting from the burning of
the Rhoades Opera House continues
to grow in horror. The list off, dead is
placed at $50 and the injured at rs.
Exactly how many were killed may
be known, for among the vic
Tins were a number of visitors who
may have no relatives to trace their
untimely fate. Fifty bodies have been
recovered and fully 100 persons are
missing from their homes.
1t is estimated that there were 400
persons in the playhouse when the
explosion of the gas tank occurred.
The tank was being used in connec-
ton with pictures. An amateur per-
Torrance OF Scottish Reformation
for the benefit of st. Johns Lutheran
Sunday school was being produced.
Instantly the explosion occurred some
M yelled fire" and in almost less
time than it takes to tell it the center
of the opera house was a blazing fur
nace. The rapidity with which the
flames spread was caused by the up
setting of the coal oil lamps used as
the footlights by some of the persons
on the stage who endeavored to allay
the frightened children and quiet the
audience. But even the men seemed
to lose all control Of themselves and
fought with the women and children,
who composed the greater part of the
audience, TO gain the street. In this
who might otherwise have escaped
the flames were forced back and
trampled upon. Particularly was this
the case Of those who were caught on
the stairways. Pandemonium reigned
and the mad scramble for the exits is
simply indescribable. The weaker
ones were brushed aside and in many
instances trampled to death. Scores
OF persons On the second floor, seeing
the awful jam on the stairways, risked
their lives by jumping from the Win
dows. In this way several were SO
badly injured that they died before
reaching any of the numerous tenn.
porary hospitals.

Perish With Escape in Sight.

So rapidly did the flames spread
that many Of the audience were
caught and overcome before they
could reach the fire escapes. The
frenziel people fought with each other
to reach the front entrance, the prir-
cipaI means OF exit from the building,
and a struggling mass OF humanity
was quickly piled around the doors
that led to the street. FLAMES over
took them and they were burned to
death almost in sight of escape. A
number of people who were attracted
by the cries Of fire rushed from the
street to the opera house and up the
stairs to the second floor. They sue
ceeded in rescuing some, but were
forced to abandon the others to their
fate as the quickly advancing flames
drove them from the building
Boyertown is a town of about $500
persons and there is scarcely a house
in the little town that has not been
afflicted by the visitation of fire..
Physicians and nurses were also
sent to Boyertown from Reading and
aided materially in alleviaring the suf-
terings of the injured who had leaped
from the windows in their mad rush
to escape the flames.
The work of removing the bodies
from the debris will be unusually tedi-
GUS and hazardous. When the rush
was at its height the floor gave way,
precipitating many persons to the
basement and the bodies of these will
be found buried beneath the charred
timbers and tons of brick from the
ruined walls. In addition to the opera
house and Farmers National bank, Err
hans hardware house and the dwell
ings OF George Rahm, Harry Penny
packer and Alfred Zashard We're
burned. The monetary loss will
amount to $4,000.
The chief of the Pittstown fire de-
partment, who investigated the cause
of the disaster, says the first rush
toward the stage was caused by ev-
eral men and women becoming fright
ened when the. hose connecting the
moving picture machine and the tank
supplying the light slipped off its con-
nection and made q kissing noise.
The tank itself did not explode, he
says, until after the flames had
reached It.
